North of Molten Fire Town.

A group of four was leaping towards Molten Fire Town.

The leader was a young man in brocade clothing, beside him was a beautiful woman in a light red long gown, followed by a man and a woman in tight outfits.

As the four passed over Molten Fire Town, the woman's expression in the long dress changed slightly, her figure paused, and she looked down towards the Town Lord Mansion of Molten Fire Town.

"Sister Qiu, what's wrong?"

The brocade-clad young man looked at the woman in confusion.

"This is Molten Fire Town, isn't it? Is there Earth Fire below?"

The woman in the long dress turned her head to look at the young man in brocade.

The young man in brocade was momentarily stunned, glanced at Molten Fire Town below, and lightly shook his head: "I really don't know about that, Sister Qiu, are you interested in Earth Fire?"

"Junior Brother Liu, you may not know, Sister Qiu has a talent for alchemy and has always wanted to find a wisp of Earthfire Crystal to refine into her Sea of Consciousness for future alchemy use."

The man in tight clothes behind them chuckled as he spoke.

"Since Sister Qiu likes it, why don't we go down and ask for it; the Earth Fire of Molten Fire Town naturally falls under the allocation of Fenglin City."

Junior Brother Liu laughed lightly as he spoke.

"Let's go down and have a look. If the Town Lord of Molten Fire Town agrees, I can exchange it with Elixirs or Spirit Stones!"

Sister Qiu nodded, her figure folded downwards towards the Town Lord Mansion of Molten Fire Town.

Junior Brother Liu's eyes lit up; this Sister Qiu is a Direct Disciple of an elder within the sect. If he could establish a connection with her, it would be a tremendous benefit to his development within the sect.

No matter what, this Earth Fire must be obtained!

As for trading... hehe.

A light chuckle appeared in Junior Brother Liu's eyes, I want to see if this Town Lord of Molten Fire dares to bring up the trade!

At the entrance of the Town Lord Mansion, Zhuang Chengjiang arrived here as soon as the battle ended, wanting to meet Jiang Chen because, as long as Jiang Chen remained, his position as Town Lord was unstable.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Zhuang Chengjiang had just walked to the door, not yet stepping inside, when four figures landed outside the Town Lord Mansion.

"Greetings to the four seniors."

Zhuang Chengjiang's heart trembled; he couldn't see through the strength of any of the four, which he understood very well, and hurriedly clasped his hands in salute.

"I am Liu Jianming, the Young City Lord of Fenglin City. These three are my senior brothers and sisters from the Heavenly Sword Sect, quickly summon your Town Lord to meet us!"

The young man in brocade looked arrogantly at Zhuang Chengjiang and spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chengjiang's expression changed. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Young City Lord, and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I am Zhuang Chengjiang, the Town Lord of Molten Fire Town."

"You are the Town Lord of Molten Fire Town?"

Liu Jianming looked at Zhuang Chengjiang with surprise, then looked up at the Town Lord Mansion, puzzled: "Who is cultivating in your mansion?"

"It is Young Master Jiang."

Liu Jianming replied softly.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this moment, a scorching wave emanated from within the Town Lord Mansion.

Whoosh!

A figure dashed out from inside the mansion.

Outside the mansion, Lin Yuyan looked inside in surprise, her eyes showing a hint of shock.

"Miss Lin, what happened? What's going on?"

Zhuang Chengjiang looked at the Town Lord Mansion and then at Lin Yuyan in confusion.

"Someone has drawn out the Earthfire Crystal!"

Before Lin Yuyan could respond, Sister Qiu's exclamation rang out.

"What? Daring to steal the Earthfire Crystal, how bold!"

Liu Jianming shouted angrily, his figure flashing as he rushed into the Town Lord Mansion.

"Hey, Junior Brother Liu..."

Sister Qiu's face changed, and she was about to call out, but Liu Jianming was already out of sight. She frowned and raised her foot to step into the Town Lord Mansion.

"What are you doing? Young Master Jiang is cultivating, disturbing someone's cultivation is very impolite, don't you know?"

Lin Yuyan's figure flashed, blocking Sister Qiu, rebuking her out loud.

"Miss Lin, they are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Zhuang Chengjiang was surprised, reaching out to pull Lin Yuyan.

"Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect?!"

Lin Yuyan was taken aback, then avoided Zhuang Chengjiang's hand, gritted her teeth, and shouted again: "Just because they are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, can they casually disturb others' cultivation?"

"What? You dare to steal someone else's property and still have the nerve to argue?"

The young man in tight clothes shouted coldly.

"Steal someone else's property? Young Master Jiang killed that scoundrel Zhang Chenggang, so the Earth Fire should belong to Young Master Jiang!"

Lin Yuyan argued.

"Murder and steal treasures?"

Sister Qiu frowned, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Bang!

Whoosh!

Just then, a muffled sound echoed, and a figure flew out from within the Town Lord Mansion.

"Junior Brother Liu!"

Sister Qiu and the others' expressions changed. The young man in tight clothing flashed to catch Liu Jianming.

Puff!

Liu Jianming opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of blood, his breath wilting, clearly severely injured.

Swoosh!

A figure chased out from the Town Lord Mansion, landing beside Lin Yuyan.

"Young Master Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job as your protector."

Lin Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen apologetically.

"It's not your fault."

Jiang Chen waved his hand at Lin Yuyan, turning to look coldly at Sister Qiu and the others: "Intruding and disturbing while others are cultivating, what do you intend to do?"

"Boy, do you have the nerve to argue after murdering and stealing treasures?"

The man in tight clothing supported Liu Jianming, shouting loudly.

"Murder and steal treasures? Are you with that Zhang Chenggang?"

Jiang Chen squinted slightly, a cold killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"No, no, this is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

Zhuang Chengjiang saw the situation getting out of hand and hurriedly spoke up.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhuang Chengjiang.

"Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment."

Zhuang Chengjiang appeased Jiang Chen, then turned to the four from the Heavenly Sword Sect: "Young City Lord, three of you, here's what happened..."

Jiang Chen destroyed the four great families and killed Zhang Chenggang. Everyone in Molten Fire Town was grateful to Jiang Chen, including Zhuang Chengjiang. Upon seeing the misunderstanding almost leading to a fight between Jiang Chen and the Heavenly Sword Sect, he quickly explained the situation.

After listening to Zhuang Chengjiang's explanation, the expressions of the four from the Heavenly Sword Sect changed slightly.

"Sorry, we misunderstood!"

Sister Qiu raised her hand, clasped fists, and apologized to Jiang Chen.

"Sister, you don't need to apologize to him. This Earth Fire originally belongs to the region of Fenglin City; he cannot keep it!"

Liu Jianming said with a gloomy face.

Jiang Chen glanced at Liu Jianming, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "How ridiculous, the Changlang Continent is still under the Great Emperor's rule. Does it mean that anything found on the continent must be handed over to the Great Emperor for distribution?"

"You..."

Liu Jianming was choked speechless, glaring angrily at Jiang Chen.

"Junior Brother Liu, jurisdiction does not mean ownership of the land. You should understand this."

Sister Qiu looked at Liu Jianming, speaking indifferently.

Liu Jianming's expression changed slightly, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen, and clasped his fists towards Sister Qiu: "Sister's lesson is correct."

"Young Master, I'm Qiu Ying, and these are my junior brother Song Zhijian, Liu Jianming, and junior sister Li Lu. We apologize for disturbing your cultivation, but that Earthfire Crystal is indeed useful to me. I would like to discuss with you whether it can be exchanged for Elixirs or Spirit Stones."

Sister Qiu looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.

"There's nothing to discuss."

Jiang Chen spoke flatly, turning back into the Town Lord Mansion.

"You..."

Song Zhijian and the others were furious, about to shout.

"Enough!"

Qiu Ying raised her hand to stop them, glanced at Jiang Chen's back, and whispered: "Since he doesn't want to exchange, we shouldn't force it. Junior Brother Liu is injured, it's not wise to continue traveling, let's find an inn to rest for a while."

The others, seeing Qiu Ying's attitude, said nothing more and left with resentment.
