Chapter 1735: The Demonic Fire Escapes
The blood of Gu and Ling elders surged, cold sweat flowed down their foreheads, and they were barely holding on. Situ Reading

The other elders who helped from behind were not so lucky. Some of those with slightly lower cultivation began to bleed from the corners of their mouths, and their Yuanli was almost dry.
Boom...
The fire dragon hit again, and the land seemed to be overturned. Along the crack, hundreds of dense cracks appeared and spread rapidly around.
"It's about to collapse, why... he hasn't appeared yet?!"
Yu Tingtian frowned while observing the formation, and looked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion again.
"Master, the backup you mentioned is the City Lord?"
Elder He heard this, his face suddenly became strange, and asked with a hint of meaning.
Yu Tingtian nodded with a gloomy face. Chi Xiao was the lord of Jinhua Upper City, and the two sects were also the pillars of Jinhua Upper City. Long before the signs of the riot of the fire, the lord of Chi Xiao had promised Yu Tingtian that if the two sects were in trouble, the city lord's mansion would never stand idly by.
"Master, forgive me for being blunt, I always feel that the city lord is not trustworthy. Do you still remember who leaked Shen Yue's identity as an evil angel, which led to the incident...
In fact, we could have kept Shen Yue's identity a secret. Although the evil angel is fierce, it is not impossible to suppress it."
Elder He hesitated, but finally spoke.
There are indeed many doubts about what happened that year, but few people mentioned it.
"What did he do in the past? Now... Let's focus on dealing with the fire."
Yu Tingtian felt that what Elder He said made some sense, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
All the situations today seemed to be pushed by an invisible big hand, moving towards an uncontrollable process.
The situation is getting more and more serious, but why hasn't the city lord shown up yet?
Could it be...
What Elder He said is true, and everything is done by the city lord Chixiao?
...
Dozens of miles away, in the south of Jinhua Shangcheng, there is a palace towering into the sky, with three big characters written on it: City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, a majestic figure above, with his hands behind his back, is watching everything that happens in the two sects from a distance.
"City Lord, the karmic fire is too fierce, and it is growing stronger with the help of the death energy. The warriors of the two sects seem to be unable to withstand it soon."
Behind this majestic figure, many staff members of the city lord's mansion stood, and they all had anxious expressions on their faces.
Obviously, the power displayed by the red lotus karmic fire made them extremely afraid.
However, the current city lord still did not issue orders, so these people could not act on their own.
Among them, there are many warriors who are friendly with Tiandi Yuanzong, such as Guan Buyu, who are eager to leave immediately to rescue the two sects.
"Although Tiandi Yuan Sect is under the jurisdiction of this city, it is a fifth-grade sect after all. If this city lord is too proactive, it will be suspected of usurping the throne.
Wait a little longer. If Sect Master Yu and Sect Master Mo can't hold on, they will send a signal for help. At that time, it won't be too late for this city lord to take action."
Chi Xiao City Lord looked calm and said to the people around him calmly.
After hearing what he said, others didn't say much. After all, the city lord has been in charge of the power of the City Lord's Mansion for many years, and he is the number one master in Jinhua Shangcheng. He is a great master who has survived several holy tribulations. It is not something they can measure casually.
"Don't worry, everyone. As the saying goes, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. This city lord does this to make the two sects owe our City Lord's Mansion a favor."
Seeing that many people didn't seem to agree, Chi Xiao City Lord smiled slightly and explained a few words.
In this way, everyone was relieved. The two sects had a high status in Jinhua Upper City, and even had the momentum to keep pace with the City Lord's Mansion. As people from the City Lord's Mansion, they naturally did not want to see this scene. The words of the City Lord also touched their hearts.
As time went by, the temperature on all sides of the entire Jinhua Upper City continued to rise. The people of Tiandi Yuanzong tried their best, but it was difficult to stop the red lotus fire from growing and growing.
Later, blazing flames rose from the ground, accompanied by a large amount of dead air, slowly rising, and finally merged into the void formation.
"Oh no, the situation is about to get out of control. The demon fire is growing too fast. Both of us can't stop it!"
Gu Lao and Ling Lao, the two old men of Tiandi Yuanzong, finally showed a look of horror on their faces.
The Yuanli on their bodies poured towards the energy shield of the formation desperately, trying to close the crack. Unfortunately, the fire dragon inside seemed tireless. With constant impact, the cracks had already crossed the entire energy shield. The two sects' strongest void formations were on the verge of collapse in the face of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Everyone was stunned, their hearts in their throats, looking at the fire dragon that kept hitting in the air in horror, waiting for the moment when the demon fire broke through the formation and raged.
Roar!
An extremely violent and strange cry came out of the fire dragon's mouth. It was full of red light, and its expanded body was like a rolling storm, and it hit the shield again crazily.
Bang!
This impact finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The shield of the formation could no longer support it and collapsed.
The fire dragon inside was like a fish entering the sea, escaping from the cage blockade.
Its ghost face was full of excitement. It crushed the remaining energy with its tail and swam out into the air.
With a bang.
A raging heat wave swept across the entire land. Countless ancient trees in the two sects were burned to ashes, and huge palaces were turned into a sea of fire.
The two elders Gu and Ling groaned, and each spit out a mouthful of blood. After forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi, they held up a light curtain with their hands, and then the terrifying high temperature was reduced a little.
"Tingtian Wangu, the two sect masters and nephews, quickly dismiss the sect disciples. This catastrophe should not be borne by young people."
The white hair of the old Ling was flying in the sky, and his words were full of helplessness.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire has been imprisoned for an unknown number of years. Once it breaks out, the disaster will shake the heaven and earth. It is not impossible for the foundation of the two sects to be burned to ashes.
Now, the only way is to transfer the inner and outer disciples and maintain more living forces. In time, the glory of the Tiandi Yuan Sect can be restored.
After hearing the instructions of Elder Ling, the two sect masters Yu Tingtian and Mo Wangu both looked gloomy.
However, when their eyes were cast on the flaming dragon in the air, they looked at each other and nodded to each other, and could only do as Elder Ling said.
Since the Red Lotus Karma Fire has escaped, the two sects are indeed powerless with their current manpower.
"Why hasn't Chi Xiao taken action yet? How long will he wait? Could it be..."
Looking at the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Tingtian began to curse in a low voice.
"What? Yu Tingtian, you expect Chi Xiao to take action? You are so naive. Don't forget how he got the position of City Lord. Under his feet, a bloody road is paved. You and my sects are powerful, and he has long wanted to weaken them. How can you let the wolf into the house and involve him?"
Hearing Yu Tingtian's words, Mo Wangu jumped in anger.
But at this moment, Yu Tingtian's face was as gloomy as water, and he didn't say a word to him.
Roar!
The conversation of the two was soon interrupted by a fierce roar. The fire dragon that escaped was dozens of feet long and hovered in the air. The eyes on the ghost face kept sweeping over the crowd, full of coldness and ferocity.
