Chapter 174 A Great Fire, Two Fates
"What? What did you say?" Qinghui narrowed her eyes, doubting that she had misheard.
Tang Chen was Qingxuan's first disciple, and her cultivation surpassed that of her master. How could she possibly harbor any resentment towards her master?
Tang Chen glanced at it and said, "It's none of your business."
The fire crackled and popped in front of me.
The towering flames illuminated the darkness of the world, but Tang Chen felt as if she were still in the dark, shivering with cold.
"Fire! The young princess is still inside!"
The guards and palace maids reacted quickly and began to extinguish the fire with great skill.
But……
This is not human fire.
Nine Yang is a wildly popular technique in the cultivation world!
Even if all the surrounding air were sucked out, let alone water and sand, it would still be impossible to extinguish.
Tang Chen, holding an umbrella, floated on the wall, looking down at them as they carried buckets of water and ran around.
That's all.
She came here specifically to kill Qingbao.
If Qingbao can die here, then she'll save herself some trouble.
Head down.
One after another, ordinary people rushed forward, only to become more and more desperate.
The palace maid, too weak to lift the bucket, was soaked to the bone and sat on the ground crying.
"The young princess is inside, but the fire is only getting bigger and bigger. What should we do? What will happen to her? What should we do?"
It wasn't that they failed to rescue the emperor, but rather that their repeated efforts only brought them deeper despair.
"We're doomed." The guard's lips trembled as he stood before the raging fire.
One sentence sums up his fate.
Not just his fate, but everyone's fate.
The young princess is the apple of the Emperor and Empress Dowager's eye, and she is able to stabilize the existence of the Great Xia Dynasty.
She's dead, and everyone else is going to die.
This is the least severe outcome.
"Your Highness, you mustn't!" Someone pushed Xia Jingheng forward quickly.
Fanzhi reached out and stopped him in front of the fire, crying, "Your Highness, this fire can't be put out. Even if you go in, it will be useless and you'll only lose your life!"
Xia Jingheng's face was anxious, and veins were bulging on his forehead. "Get out of the way!"
This was the first time he had ever lost his temper like this.
Fanzhi knelt down with a thud, crying, "Your Highness, you'll die!"
“Qingbao offended the cultivation world, you should have expected this to happen, but you only have one life, how can you protect her every time?”
"You don't value your own life, but your life is very important to others! How can you not think about others!"
"Your Highness, Fanzhi has been by your side since childhood. Fanzhi begs you, please don't go there!"
Xia Jingheng was breathing rapidly, his fingers clenching tightly on the armrest.
"I cannot stand by and watch Qingbao die."
For example, when Si He was injured, he risked his life to rush out and shield her.
He was a useless person and didn't think it was worthless.
A voice deep within his soul told him:
He couldn't watch Sihe die, he couldn't watch Qingbao die, he couldn't watch the people they cared about die!
"Get out of my way!" Xia Jingheng's eyes were bloodshot, making him look terrifying.
The guards pulled back the branches.
Xia Jingheng maneuvered his wheelchair himself and rushed into the fire.
Fan Zhi roared, "He's the Crown Prince! Knowing he's going to his death, how dare you stop me?!"
The guards bowed their heads. "We are His Highness's men, and we obey any order unconditionally!"
At this moment, Fanzhi suddenly realized.
It turns out that these people have existed for many years, but His Highness has never given her any power.
She knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, filled with despair, "Someone, please save His Highness!"
Cries, wails, the sounds of countless people collapsing.
It reached Tang Chen's ears.
Tang Chen's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the umbrella.
Qinghui laughed from the side, "A bunch of overconfident ants, don't blame us for courting death."
The fire was already spreading to the neighbor's yard.
Tang Chen opened her eyes.
Throw the umbrella out and open it.
The oil-paper umbrella spun a few times in the air, casting a layer of white light that formed a barrier, preventing the fire from spreading.
"Senior sister, what are you doing!" Qinghui said with dissatisfaction.
Tang Chen looked at her coldly, "The other mortals are innocent. Do you want to bear the consequences?"
With that, she waved her hand and threw all the guards and palace maids who were fighting the fire out of the barrier!
Qinghui stamped her foot in frustration, "Why are you saving them! They're Qingbao's people, they're not innocent if they die!"
"A bunch of annoying things, they're in my way." Tang Chen looked on expressionlessly.
Qinghui had no choice but to shut up, though she was quite resentful.
Never mind, as long as we can burn Qingbao to death, the others are nothing to fear.
The fire is still raging.
At the edge of the barrier, a slender figure slipped in without anyone noticing.
She covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, frowned, and rushed into the fire without hesitation!
"That's... Si He?" Qing Hui frowned, then burst into laughter. "Coming here to die? Perfect, help the sect leader get rid of these two people who are facing heavenly tribulations!"
You've done a great job!
She did a great job! Hahaha.
Tang Chen couldn't laugh; she just felt her breathing quicken.
The scene before her seemed to overlap with, burn, and tumble in her memory, giving her a splitting headache and causing her Dao heart to crumble in the shadows.
"Please, please save my daughter! My daughter is still inside! She's only three years old!!!"
At that time, Tang Chen was just an ordinary person.
Unlike Sihe, who is calm and intelligent.
Si He rushed into the fire without regard for anything, and the next moment, he was swept out by Fu Tu.
Fu Tu cursed at her, "Are you out of your mind? This is the Nine Yang Explosive Fire!!!"
"I don't care what kind of fire it is!" Si He's eyes reddened. "All I know is that my daughter is inside... she's only three years old..."
These words caused everyone to gasp in shock.
She knelt before Fu Tu, pleading, "Please, save Qing Bao, she's only three years old..."
Si He touched the ground with the wet towel in her hand and kowtowed to Fu Tu.
Fu Tu floated in mid-air, dressed in white, high above.
This scene.
As her memories overlapped with Tang Chen's, her eyes reddened, and she could no longer maintain her aloof demeanor.
It hurts so much!
A thousand years have clearly passed, so why!
Why does the exact same thing keep happening?
She knelt before the cultivator, kowtowing until her head bled.
"Please save my daughter, I beg you... she's only three years old."
Her husband had been burned to death, and her parents-in-law were reduced to charred remains.
But her daughter was still inside, shouting and struggling.
She was rescued by the immortals and tried to rush into the fire, but they stopped her.
They hovered high above, looking down at her with disdain. "We have already shown extraordinary mercy by saving you. As for your daughter, we are powerless to help her!"
"Why! Why?!"
"Because... this is no ordinary fire. We've used up all our magic weapons to save you. Please accept our condolences."
The immortal closed his eyes, his face full of compassion.
Tang Chen was in unbearable pain, struggling and screaming, wanting to die with her daughter.
The images overlapped and flipped, like jumping needles, constantly stimulating her senses.
Her head was throbbing with pain, and she finally went mad, running towards the fire without regard for anything else!
Qinghui was shocked, never expecting her senior sister to suddenly go crazy!
"Senior sister, are you crazy?!"
