The answer finally became clear when we got closer to the very center of the fire.
It was a strange, orange-red flame.
It is purer and more spiritual than the surrounding fires.
As soon as they approached, the strange fire containing the fragments of the Heavenly Ladder bared its fangs and claws, trying to attack them.
Song Siyao used the Floating Life Water Sword to block it.
Having tried countless methods, only the Floating Life Water style sword technique could weaken the flames of the strange fire.
Standing behind her younger sister, Song Tingwan thoughtfully held up the glass bottle and approached the strange fire.
The approaching flames paused, instinctively retreating.
"It's afraid of this air mass."
Song Siyao raised an eyebrow.
I stepped aside, letting my older sister walk ahead carrying the glass bottle of air.
The strange fire jumped up and down in anger.
Finally, when they were less than two steps apart, the strange fire emitted a voice like that of a little girl.
"You bad guys! You're not allowed to steal my treasure!"
As he spoke, the strange fire wrapped the translucent fragments of the Heavenly Ladder even tighter.
The sharp sound made them both frown.
Song Tingwan chuckled, her voice calm: "If it's yours, just say so."
"Of course! What I grabbed is mine!"
"Oh, so you stole it too," Song Siyao said coldly.
The two sisters had no pleasant feelings towards the strange fire that had burned countless people to death.
With the fragments right in front of them, the two of them weren't in a hurry.
"Why burn the entire city's inhabitants to death?" Song Tingwan questioned coldly.
The scene was ablaze with fire.
Along the way.
Not even bones were left behind.
This is the entire city's population.
Her eyes were filled with pity and heartache.
The strange fire seemed somewhat puzzled as it floated away.
“I didn’t intend to burn them to death at first, but the city lord wanted to kill me for the treasure, so I had no choice but to kill her. Those people wanted to eliminate me because of the city lord’s death, and I’m not stupid, how could I wait for them to make the first move?”
And so, they all died.
The baby is hers.
The strange fire happily approached the fragment of the Heavenly Ladder, feeling its power increase even further.
The child's clear, crisp voice spoke with a sense of innocence.
But the scorching heat can actually chill one's soul.
Song Tingwan's throat tightened.
Everyone in the city is dead.
The rescued people are outside.
They had no way of knowing whether it was true or false.
But even if it is as innocent as it claims, if even a small fraction of the city are not evil, then it is it that is wrong.
It sees no value in the lives of innocent people.
But they couldn't do it.
Seeing the strange fire baring its fangs and claws, Song Siyao attacked without saying a word.
Outside the city, the cultivators saw sword energy soaring into the sky amidst the raging fire, and they had to avoid the sword's edge from then on.
"Whether it is good or evil, first extinguish the fire, hand over the fragments, and then we can discuss it."
With a cold and stern expression, Song Siyao protected his elder sister behind him and left with his sword.
The terrifying sword energy terrified countless people.
But strange fire is still fire.
Why would I be afraid of any sword energy?
So what if we cut them off and defeat them? They'll just burn even brighter and come back.
Song Tingwan lowered her gaze.
A moment later, a flash of light appeared, and the glass bottle in his hand was smashed towards Li Guang.
"Splash—"
The gas cloud adhered to the Light-Leaving Sword.
The blade was covered by a misty haze.
The strange fire, entangled with the sword, let out a shriek and retreated.
Song Siyao curled her lips and seized the opportunity to move forward.
