The appearance of this flame is undoubtedly beautiful, like stars in the night sky, leaving people in awe.
Yang Chen stared at the flame, forcefully suppressing the excitement in his heart, and muttered, “Is this the Starfire? Haha, it’s even rarer than the Strange Fire I obtained in my previous life. And unlike my previous life, when I got the Strange Fire, I just used it for Alchemy. Without True Qi, I couldn’t exert the power of Strange Fire at all.”
“But now it’s different. I have the Martial Arts Cultivation of the Spirit Martial Realm, and I can fully wield the power of Strange Fire!”
There are different types of flames.
For example, the Solar Fire used by Zhu Yinyang is just created by using the yang qi and essence blood. Above Solar Fire, there are even stronger Purple Sun Fire, Pure Yang Fire, and Three True Flames. Zhu Yinyang is just at the most basic level of playing with fire.
But there is a very different type of fire called Strange Fire.
Yes, Strange Fire is different from the fire obtained through cultivation, such as Purple Sun Fire and Pure Yang Fire, which can be obtained through cultivation.
But Strange Fire is nurtured by nature, born of heaven and earth, and difficult to find. Compared to the fire obtained through cultivation, Strange Fire is extremely precious. And every type of Strange Fire has a unique ability different from ordinary flames, which is very difficult for Pure Yang Fire and other types of flames to achieve.
For example, his Starfire, its divine power lies in its extensive range.
As long as he wants to, the flames can instantly sweep across a hundred Zhang and kill people in invisibility. This incredible power and capability even surprised Yang Chen a little bit.
The most important thing is that the power of Starfire lies in its corrosive force.
Yes, corrosion, not burning.
Ordinary flames burn, but Starfire corrodes everything it touches, including the body and bones, instantly and completely. This is the most terrifying aspect, and it is precisely because of this that Starfire can be called a Strange Fire.
Yang Chen took a deep breath: “Although the Seed of Strange Fire has merged with me, it hasn’t fully resonated with me yet. When I fully resonate with the Seed of Starfire, perhaps, the Starfire might bring me additional surprises.” Yang Chen believed that Starfire was more than what he saw now.
With the Starfire, Yang Chen naturally felt happy, and soon he left the seclusion.
After leaving seclusion, Yang Chen quickly learned about the recent situation of the Yang family from Yang Jin He’s mouth.
At this moment, Yang Chen was in Yang Jin He’s courtyard, slightly startled: “Oh? In that case, Zhu Yinyang is actually a coward. He confessed after being tortured for only three hours? This is interesting. It seems that the Horse-thief Gang is not as tough as I imagined.”
“Hey, you’re right. This completely caught me off guard. I thought Zhu Yinyang, as one of the Twelve Great Fierce Ghost Protectors, would be a hard nut to crack. But he turned out to be so pathetic. As soon as our Yang family members started torturing him, he couldn’t stand it. But it’s quite normal, the Horse-thief Gang is also human, and humans have weaknesses.” Yang Jin He couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Yang Chen stroked his chin with curiosity, “What did Zhu Yinyang confess?”
Yang Jin He stood with his hands behind his back: “Just as you expected, Elder Yang was indeed captured by Third Master, and besides that, Elder Yang was not killed, but captured alive by Third Master, intending to blackmail the Yang family, and hand you over! Hmph, the Horse-thief Gang really thought they had a great plan. If it weren’t for you realizing that there was a traitor in the
Yang family and counter-plotting, the situation wouldn’t have been resolved
so easily.”
“No, the matter of the traitor in the Yang family isn’t over yet.” Yang Chen muttered.
“Oh? Wasn’t Xu San caught? The traitor issue should be considered over.” Yang Jin He was slightly confused.
Yang Chen glanced around and found that there were no other Yang family members around, so he said meaningfully: “Clan Leader, Xu San may not be the only traitor in the Yang family.”
“What do you mean?” Yang Jin He was startled.
Yang Chen fell silent in thought.
He didn’t know how to start explaining.
Theoretically, from Xu Kun’s memories, he only knew about one traitor in the Yang family, Xu San. But he always felt that something was wrong, because after all, Xu San, a mere servant, would not be able to know so much about Elder Yang Si’s situation.
Thinking about that, Yang Chen sighed, “I may upset the Clan Leader by saying this, but with the current situation of the Yang family, I can’t hide it. To be honest, the Clan Leader can think about it carefully. Xu San is a servant of Elder Yang, no matter how good Elder Yang is to him or how much he cares for him, his status is still that of Elder Yang’s servant!”
“That’s true.” Yang Jin He didn’t know what Yang Chen was trying to say.
Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back: “So, Clan Leader, think about it. Xu San, a servant, has a good relationship with Elder Yang, and it’s not difficult for him to know about Elder Yang’s whereabouts. But, how could he know about Fourth Master’s whereabouts? Think about it, this is a very contradictory matter, isn’t it?”
Yang Jin He hadn’t thought about it in this way before, but now that he thought about it, he frowned, feeling that Yang Chen was making sense.
“However, there’s not much convincing evidence for this kind of thing. What if Xu San has his own extraordinary investigative skills? Maybe you’re just overthinking it.” Yang Jin He said.
“Maybe.” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile.
“So, you mean there’s another traitor in the Yang family besides Xu San?” Yang Jin He’s heart skipped a beat.
Yang Chen sighed, “I hope I’m overthinking it, but I just feel that something is wrong! ”
Now Yang Jin He could no longer take Yang Chen’s words lightly, because Xu San was exposed by Yang Chen himself. He said in a serious tone, “Yang Chen, just speak your mind. Who do you suspect is the traitor? Feel free to tell me, the Clan Leader. Others might be offended by it, but I’m open-minded enough. When it comes to the safety of our Yang family, I will treat everyone equally once it’s proven true!”
Yang Chen, at this point, naturally wouldn’t be pretentious and calmly said, “Before Elder Yang was captured, the last person he saw was Yang Heng, and I suspect it’s him.”
After a brief shock, Yang Jin He suddenly calmed down.
“Clan Leader, there’s no need for any more schemes to lure the snake out of the hole, but I think we should be cautious of him. Of course, everyone in the Yang family knows about the grudge between me and Yang Heng. The Clan Leader can think that I am retaliating out of personal spite.” Yang Chen didn’t expect Yang Jin He to take this matter completely seriously. After all, because of his relationship with Yang Heng, talking about this issue made people feel suspicious..
