Ye Futian's party returned to the city lord's office at Qianye City.
Ye Futian pondered the Star Plucking Saint's intentions during the return trip. He was still puzzled as to why the saint had done that.
From what Shen Jun had told Ye Futian, the saint was powerful enough to take the Flames of the Way away and the Saint Lord of Jiuyang wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The Star Plucking Saint's skill at transforming was peerless. No one knew if anyone in the Crimson Dragon Realm less powerful than the Renhuangs would be able to capture him alive.
Regardless, the Renhuang-level Flames of the Way were theirs. However, it was the backing of Emperor Xia's Realm that had allowed him to pull what he'd pulled. It would have been nearly impossible for him to bring those flames back with him otherwise.
The Xi clan would have been the first to get in his way.
