The Blazing Sun Sect's Elder

Countless people stared in stunned silence at the scene unfolding before them. The Blazing Sun Sect was a leading sect in the Western Region, to say nothing of this small city controlled by them. Offending the Blazing Sun Sect would undoubtedly lead to a grim end.

The onlookers seemed to foresee the tragic fate awaiting Su Muchen. What a pity, the young man didn't know how to size up a situation. He would learn a harsh lesson sooner or later!

"You're the first to dare disrespect the Blazing Sun Sect. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid any Tom, Dick, or Harry will be riding on our heads, throwing their weight around!" Li Feng sneered menacingly, ready to attack.

Just then, an immense aura descended, instantly suppressing him.

"Puh—"

Li Feng, who had been so imposing and ready to fight just moments before, now knelt on the ground in a wretched state, vomiting blood uncontrollably. The other Blazing Sun Sect disciples were in the same condition. Except for Su Muchen, who remained calm, everyone else coughed blood and collapsed, creating a chaotic scene.

Everything happened so suddenly that many hadn't even registered what was happening before the Blazing Sun Sect disciples were subdued by the unexpected pressure!

"Which one dares to run wild on the Blazing Sun Sect's territory!"

At that moment, another equally powerful aura swept across the scene, challenging the previous pressure. An old man wearing a scarlet red robe appeared in the arena like a phantom.

"The Blazing Sun Sect's Crimson Flame Elder! I never expected him to be guarding this city!"

Many recognized the old man's identity, exclaiming in surprise. This Crimson Flame Elder was a well-known figure in the Western Region, not only for his profound cultivation but also for his fiery temper and unforgiving nature!

Once, an unaffiliated cultivator accidentally offended him, and he was hunted down for seven days and seven nights, ultimately dying a miserable death at his hands.

Therefore, ordinary cultivators in the Western Region didn't dare to provoke this eccentric madman. Once he locked onto you, it was a battle to the death!

Immediately, people began to feel sympathy for Su Muchen. With the Crimson Flame Elder's attention on him, his life was likely to be difficult from now on.

As soon as the Crimson Flame Elder arrived, he noticed that his sect's disciples were all coughing blood and lying on the ground in a miserable state. A young man stood there with a cold expression, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

The Crimson Flame Elder frowned slightly. He had clearly sensed an extremely powerful aura earlier, and he had rushed over to avoid any accidents. But the current situation seemed somewhat different from what he had expected.

"Crimson Flame Elder, you must avenge us! He stole our Yi Wood Spirit Heart!"

Seeing the Crimson Flame Elder, Li Feng cried out desperately, like a drowning man grasping at a straw.

"What?!"

Not only the Crimson Flame Elder, but also the surrounding onlookers were shocked. The Yi Wood Spirit Heart was a world-renowned treasure of the wood element. Whether used in alchemy or artifact refining, it possessed incredible effects, especially for cultivators who practiced wood-element techniques. It was a treasure of immeasurable value.

However, people quickly calmed down. The Crimson Flame Elder had already appeared, and there was likely no chance for them to get involved. The Yi Wood Spirit Heart was indeed precious, but it wasn't worth offending a powerful sect for it. Besides, they needed the strength to snatch it!

"Stole? Heh, you're good at twisting the truth," Shadow Elder's figure slowly emerged from the void behind Su Muchen, his voice icy. "Putting aside the fact that this treasure was legitimately purchased by my young master for three hundred low-grade spirit stones, even if he did steal it, what could you possibly do?"

Seeing this scene, the Crimson Flame Elder's pupils suddenly contracted, and he thought to himself, This old man has such profound cultivation! He is definitely a formidable opponent!

Although the Crimson Flame Elder could also briefly enter the void, he couldn't do it as naturally as Shadow Elder, without even a trace of spatial fluctuations. This required an extremely high level of understanding and control of the laws of space!

The Crimson Flame Elder understood that he had likely kicked an iron plate this time.

"May I ask which sect you are from?"

The Crimson Flame Elder basically knew the elders of the major sects in the Western Region, but he had no impression of this old man.

When did such a strong person appear in the Western Region? The Crimson Flame Elder was filled with doubt and vigilance.

Shadow Elder merely glanced coldly at the Crimson Flame Elder, his tone tinged with disdain: "You are not worthy!"

Hearing Shadow Elder's words, the Crimson Flame Elder's brow furrowed, and a surge of anger arose in his heart.

The surrounding crowd was also dumbfounded as they looked at Shadow Elder. This guy is too arrogant, isn't he?

The Blazing Sun Sect was one of the leading sects in the Western Region!

Although the Crimson Flame Elder admitted that Shadow Elder's cultivation might be above his, he still had the entire Blazing Sun Sect as his backing. Yet this old man dared to speak so arrogantly!

In ordinary times, the Crimson Flame Elder would definitely not provoke such a strong person. But now it concerned the Yi Wood Spirit Heart, a legendary artifact. For it, the Crimson Flame Elder felt it was worth taking the risk. At worst, he would close the mountain gate and he doubted that the old guy could even attack the Blazing Sun Sect successfully.

"Hmph, I don't care where you came from, daring to swindle the Blazing Sun Sect's belongings, you will definitely pay the price!" The Crimson Flame Elder stared coldly at Shadow Elder, while crushing a pre-prepared communication talisman. He knew very well that with his own strength alone, he was unlikely to defeat Shadow Elder. He had to quickly notify the other elders in the sect to come and support him.

The Blazing Sun Sect had a teleportation array in this Sandstone City, so, after only a moment, several sounds of rushing wind rang out one after another, and several elders of the Blazing Sun Sect descended like meteors beside the Crimson Flame Elder.

"Crimson Flame Elder, what happened?" A middle-aged man with fiery red hair walked over quickly, looking at the Crimson Flame Elder in confusion.

When everyone saw this scene, another burst of exclamations erupted.

"It's over, this young man is probably doomed!"

"Even if his protector is strong, facing so many Blazing Sun Sect elders, he's probably powerless to turn the tide!"

The Blazing Sun Sect elders ignored the surrounding discussions and quickly walked to the Crimson Flame Elder's side.

The communication talisman crushed by the Crimson Flame Elder was the highest-level emergency aid talisman within the sect, and was usually only used when the sect encountered a strong enemy invasion.

Therefore, when they received the Crimson Flame Elder's emergency signal, they immediately rushed over through the teleportation array. But the current situation clearly didn't involve any intense battles.

The Crimson Flame Elder naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and described the whole story in detail.

"Really?!" The red-haired elder's eyes narrowed, and then he turned to Su Muchen, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes. But after a moment, his face suddenly changed drastically, becoming extremely pale.

"You... could you be Young Master Su?" The red-haired elder's voice trembled as he asked cautiously. He was uneasy, although he didn't participate in the battle in the Eastern Region personally, he had watched it from a distance. Although the distance was far, he vaguely remembered Su Muchen's appearance.

He never expected that this young man with terrifying strength would appear in the Western Region!

The Crimson Flame Elder was stunned by the red-haired elder's appearance, and looked at Su Muchen with confusion and incomprehension.

He had been stationed in this small city for many years, and although he had heard about some major events in the Eastern Region, he didn't know the details.

"You recognize me?" Su Muchen felt slightly surprised. He didn't expect this red-haired elder to recognize him.

"Now, in these four regions, who doesn't know Young Master Su's great name?" The red-haired elder gave a wry smile, then suddenly turned his head and glared at the Crimson Flame Elder.

"Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Su!"

The Crimson Flame Elder woke up as if from a dream, and a huge wave surged in his heart. He knew the red-haired elder's identity very well. The person who could make the red-haired elder so fearful must have an extraordinary background.

"I have eyes but couldn't recognize Mount Tai, and unintentionally offended Young Master Su. I hope Young Master Su can forgive my ignorance and spare me!" The Crimson Flame Elder walked forward almost trembling, bowing to Su Muchen. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a storage ring from his arms.

"There are some small things inside, consider it my apology."

Su Muchen calmly took the storage ring, and scanned it with his divine sense, his eyebrows rose slightly, and he gave the Crimson Flame Elder a deep look.

"This matter is settled."

The red-haired elder finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly rejoicing. This Young Master Su in front of him came from the Holy Sect of the Central Region, and should not be offended under any circumstances.

The surrounding crowd watched in stunned silence, they all turned their eyes to Su Muchen, their hearts filled with curiosity and doubt. They racked their brains and couldn't figure out what kind of sacred being this young man was?

Why could he make the Blazing Sun Sect so fearful? Even to the point of bowing their heads in apology?
