Chapter 128 The thoughts of the Huode Sect’s leader!
"Mr. Wang, the Sect Master wants you to come over."

Just then, a disciple of the Huode Sect came from the direction of the lobby.

Wang Yuanjing noticed the other party's strange look and knew that his guess should have come true. It was estimated that something big had really happened.

This matter may even have something to do with me.
Otherwise, the person who came to see him would not be this person, but Hong Bin.

"Lead the way."

Wang Yuanjing followed the Huode Sect disciple into the hall.
Wang Yuanjing found that the place was already full of people. He ignored the strange looks from everyone and walked forward.

"Senior Sect Master, what happened?"

The leader of the Huode Sect sat in the main seat above, looking a little unhappy.

Seeing that the other party did not answer him, he glanced at the people around him and found that a familiar face was missing.

"Where's Hongbin?"

he asked.

However, his question remained unanswered.

Elder Lin spoke at the right time.

"Friend Wang, I asked you to come here this time because a big event happened in my Huode Sect."

He paused.

"Our sacred flame is lost."

The flame is lost?

Wang Yuanjing began to understand why these people were making such a big fuss.

The Holy Fire is to the Huode Sect what the Five Thunders Righteous Law is to the Tianshi Mansion.
Even more important.

Although he still didn't know what the Holy Fire was, according to Hong Bin, losing the Holy Fire would probably mean that the disciples who had cultivated the Golden Fire would lose the possibility of moving up to the next level.

But why was it such a coincidence that the sacred flame was lost when I visited him?

Wang Yuanjing was a little puzzled.

He didn't think that Huode Zong would fool him about such a thing.

The sacred flame must have really been lost.

But it’s a little too obvious that something like this is directed at me.

Fortunately, the people of Huode Sect were not fools and did not act rashly against him, otherwise it would have been difficult to resolve.

Wang Yuanjing also didn't want to be used as a gun.

This is when the importance of reputation comes into play...

If it were another unknown person, when it came to matters concerning the entire sect, he would probably not be so restrained.

You might wake up to find yourself tied up and sent to the interrogation room.

These sects are not as kind as they appear.

"So you suspect I did it?"

Wang Yuanjing looked around and said calmly.

"Everyone present is a suspect"

Elder Lin thought about it and said it tactfully.

He still left some room for maneuver and was unwilling to say anything final.

As an elder of a sect, he also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but now many clues indeed pointed to the person in front of him.

"Friend Yuan Jing, let me ask you a question."

"What exactly do you want to do by coming to my Huode Sect this time? Is it really just to see the golden fire of my Huode Sect?"

The leader of the Huode Sect changed his usual kind attitude and became like a long-dormant volcano that was about to erupt.

The breath that leaked out inadvertently made the surrounding air gradually hotter.

Wang Yuanjing frowned.

The leader of the Huode Sect is indeed not to be underestimated. His aura can at least rank among the top five among the extraordinary people he has come into contact with.

"My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so I want to learn from the Tao of Huode Sect."

Wang Yuanjing looked indifferent and changed his address from "junior" to "I".

He did not release his aura as wantonly as the leader of the Huode Sect, but such an action made the other party even more fearful.

So peaceful!

It was hard for the leader of the Huode Sect not to doubt whether such a person had enough confidence.

Combined with the opponent's past record, he couldn't help but wonder whether they could stop him if everyone on the field rushed forward.

But on the other hand, the other party did not deny his intention and borrowed the teachings of the Huode Sect, which meant that Wang Yuanjing had every reason to steal the holy fire.

"Did you ask Hong Bin about the Holy Fire a few days ago?"

The leader of the Huode Sect continued to ask.

"I asked, but Hong Bin said that only the leader of Huode Sect and his successor knew the whereabouts of the Holy Flame."

Wang Yuanjing replied.

His answer quickly caused an uproar among the Huode Sect disciples present.

Wang Yuanjing ignored the whispers of these people and began to organize his thoughts.

Is that so? That's why Hongbin is not in this?
He finally knew where Hong Bin went.
If his guess was correct, Huode Sect probably began to suspect himself the moment they confirmed that the holy fire was missing.

After all, he was the only outsider in the entire Huode Sect.

However, due to his own strength, he went to Hong Bin first.

Hong Bin was a stubborn person and would definitely answer whatever was asked, so the other party knew that he was asking about the sacred fire, which invisibly increased his suspicion.

In addition, in the entire Huode Sect, the person with whom he has the closest relationship is only Hong Bin.
Until he is cleared of suspicion, Hong Bin will definitely be regarded as his accomplice, which is why the other party did not show up.

It is estimated that he has been controlled by the people of Huode Sect.

This would be a bit troublesome.
Wang Yuanjing sighed inwardly.

Hong Bin was implicated by himself.

If I turn around and leave, maybe nothing will happen to the other party, after all, he is the sect master's personal disciple. However, I will inevitably be looked at strangely by my fellow disciples in the sect.

So, who was the person who stole the sacred fire?

Someone from Huode Sect? Or an outsider? And why did he do this only after he came to Huode Sect?
Was he trying to use himself as a shield? Or was his goal from the beginning to the end not the Holy Flame, but himself?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Yuanjing's mind.

He never thought that he would encounter such a thing during a normal visit.

"Oh? Then can I understand that you, my friend Yuan Jing, actually have some plans for the Holy Fire of my Huode Sect?"

The leader of the Huode Sect narrowed his eyes and pressed forward step by step.

"I can't say I have any ulterior motives, but I am indeed quite interested in your clan's sacred fire. But this doesn't mean anything, right?"

Wang Yuanjing said expressionlessly.

Motive alone is not enough to convict a person. He is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied.

"Then can you please stay in our sect for a few more days? Until we find the real culprit."

The leader of the Huode Sect stood up, wearing a red robe, and his whole body looked like a ball of burning flame.

"I can stay for a few more days, but not because of any threat from anyone."

"I also want to know who stole the sacred fire."

Wang Yuanjing shook his head.

Although his strength is enough to deal with the current situation, it does not mean that he can allow someone with ulterior motives to put the blame on him.

"In that case."

"Please, young friend Yuan Jing, follow me for a walk."

"Everyone else, go and do your own things. Leave the matter of the Holy Fire to me."

The leader of the Huode Sect dismissed everyone including Elder Lin and Chu Yan, leaving only Wang Yuanjing.

"follow me!"

Wang Yuanjing followed his footsteps, and the two left the lobby and walked towards the back mountain of Huode Sect.

"My dear friend Yuan Jing, I am sorry for what happened just now."

"Senior Sect Master?"

Wang Yuanjing looked at him in surprise.

The latter shook his head.

"In fact, I don't think it was you who stole the Holy Fire."

"It's just that as the leader of a sect, there are many things that cannot be judged based on one side of the story."

At this time, the leader of the Huode Sect no longer had the violent look he had before, and his face looked calm.

"I watched Hong Bin grow up. Although he has a straightforward personality, it is precisely because of this that he is the least likely person to steal the Holy Fire."

"With his clear mind, I also believe in his perspective on people. It is impossible for him to collude with the person who stole the Holy Fire."

So it was just a show for the people in the hall?

Is it because the other party suspects that the person who stole the holy fire is in the hall, or is it simply because they want to appease the people below?
Wang Yuanjing seemed to be thinking about something.

"I see that you, Senior Sect Master, are not worried about the theft of the Holy Fire?"

"Not nervous? How can I not be nervous?"

The leader of the Huode Sect laughed.

"But you're right about one thing. I'm not as nervous as others."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Wang Yuanjing asked curiously.

Shouldn't this holy fire be the foundation of the entire Huode Sect? The holy fire is gone, and as the leader of Huode Sect, shouldn't he be the one who cares the most?

The leader of the Huode Sect hesitated for a moment, and then a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

“Because of the Holy Fire.”

"It's about to go out!"

Holy flame? Extinguished?
Wang Yuanjing had an incredible expression on his face.

This scene was seen by the leader of the Huode Sect, who had been secretly observing Wang Yuanjing. It was not until this moment that he dispelled his suspicion of Wang Yuanjing.

At the same time, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If possible, he really didn't want to face this person.

Even if the entire Huode Sect was at stake, there was no guarantee that this person would be kept. And once he escaped, given the potential he had shown, the Huode Sect would probably be in danger!

"Even if the flame is not stolen, it will go out in a few decades and no longer exist in the world."

The leader of the Huode Sect sighed.

"What on earth is that holy fire? Why did it go out?"

Wang Yuanjing couldn't help but ask.

He never guessed that the reason why the leader of Huode Sect was not nervous was because the sacred fire was about to go out.

"What do you think that is?"

The leader of the Huode Sect asked back.

Wang Yuanjing thought about it and finally expressed his speculation.

"But the pure Yang fire?"

But he didn't expect the other party to show an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and blurted out in surprise
"how do you know?"

Wang Yuanjing revealed all his speculations, and then seemed to feel that his words did not seem convincing enough.

"Please wait a moment."

Yang Shen is out of body!

A soul that was as solid as an ordinary person appeared in front of the leader of Huode Sect. Looking at the two almost identical faces
The leader of the Huode Sect lost his composure again.

“Is this Yang Shen?”

"Yes, now you may understand why I made such a guess."

Wang Yuanjing's yang spirit returned to his body, and he explained to the Huode Sect leader who had not yet recovered from his shock.

Right now
No words can compare to the scene that the leader of Huode Sect just witnessed.
