As Sang Qingxiao walked, he analyzed the heat around him, noting how similar it felt to the presence of the Divine Fire. There was something peculiar about the Divine Fire; if it were a demon, the aura of demons in the graveyard was extremely faint. The lingering warmth indicated that it had not been long since the Divine Fire had departed.
From this, he deduced that the Divine Fire might have merely developed a slight consciousness and was still far from becoming a true demon. Old Vine shared Sang Qingxiao's assessment and added, "You should drop the 'might' and be more confident; that fire has only gained awareness and hasn't become a demon."
However, this raised questions. "What’s so strange about it?" Qi Xiaomian inquired.
"I’ve lived for many years and seen many little beings awaken to consciousness before they become demons. They are always confused and don’t understand how to think at all."
The Great Fire in Yezhou City was specifically targeting the Ouyang Family, burning with remarkable precision. Before igniting, it even used the laughter of children to frighten the Ouyang Family members, as if taunting them, saying, "I’m coming for you; you can’t escape!"
This series of actions seemed too calculated for mere fledgling consciousness. Thus, Qi Xiaomian concluded that the Great Fire in Yezhou City was likely created by the Divine Fire, but its actions were probably orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
"That’s about right," Old Vine corrected him, "but controlling it might not necessarily be a person."
As they approached the outskirts of Yezhou City, flames erupted once more, and the area engulfed by fire had expanded even further. Sang Qingxiao formed symbols into rain, causing the Great Fire to shudder slightly; it diminished just a bit but stubbornly continued to blaze.
The flammable materials within the city had long since burned away, leaving them puzzled about what was sustaining the fire. Just as Sang Qingxiao prepared to act again, he heard a commotion behind him.
From a distance, Liang Shangshan peeked out from behind a tree. "Hehe, well, since the Qi Family insisted on coming, we decided to tag along."
Sang Qingxiao recognized that Liang Shangshan had deliberately made noise to alert them. After all, there was still some distance between them; their opponents were skilled fighters who could easily conceal themselves.
Since they had already met face-to-face, hiding was no longer an option. The Qi Family shot Liang Shangshan a glare as they walked alongside Qi Xiaomian, leaving a gap in between where Liang Shangshan naturally slipped in.
Sang Qingxiao asked, "Hasn’t the head of the Ouyang Family returned yet?"
Qi Hao replied, "He has already arranged for someone to escort him back. But when he saw us coming over, he insisted on joining us instead—looking all anxious and worried." Liang Shangshan's voice rose slightly as he wondered whether they were being cautious of them or if he feared they might uncover something suspicious in their midst.
Ouyang Jun's gaze was fixed on the Great Fire, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He listened to Liang Shangshan's words without turning his head, merely grunting a few times, clearly worried about them.
The Ouyang Family could not withstand any more turmoil. If anything were to happen to you in this area, your family would surely vent their anger and resentment on the Ouyang Family. The Ouyang Family could not bear the wrath of the First Family of the Jianghu.
Ah, what a good excuse you have found.
So, it would be best for all of you to stay away from here. If the Ouyang Family burns down, then so be it; we cannot afford to lose any innocent lives. Fortunately, no one from the city has been harmed, and the family has other properties elsewhere. They will be compensated for their losses; the Ouyang Family will take responsibility.
With a look of concern, Ouyang Jun murmured these words. Although he spoke kindly, his mind was already calculating whom to find—those who were tight-lipped, greedy, eager to silence others, and solitary Jianghu people—to help investigate this matter.
