Chapter 1499: Chapter 1498: Fire Guardian, Suppression Approaches

After all, to these indigenous people, it seems that apart from the Sun Palace, they have no contact with the outside world.

Not to mention other forces and existences.

And Xu Zimei and the others just happened to use the name of the Sun Palace to gather some information.

“Why are you fighting these Fire Poison Beasts?” Xu Zimei stepped forward and asked.

“These Fire Poison Beasts want to invade our homeland; there’s no other way but to fight,” the elf replied.

“Actually, there’s something you might not know,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“Even though we’re from the Sun Palace, this is our first time here at the Origin Land.

We don’t understand many things; we’re just here for training.”

“No worries, the Sun Palace has always been friendly with us Fire Guardians,” the elf laughed.

Actually, they aren’t elves; they are Fire Guardians.

This was also the first time Xu Zimei heard this term.

“You are Fire Guardians,” compared to Xu Zimei’s lack of familiarity, Shangguan Xian said in surprise.

“Weren’t the Fire Guardians extinct?”

“Actually, we weren’t extinct. The Sun Palace protected us and provided us with training.

We’ve slowly become stronger.

Of course, there is still some distance from being able to resist the Fire Poison Beasts,” the man smiled.

And introduced himself: “I am Lie Zhongyan, a disciple of the Fire Guardian Clan.”

“What is a Fire Guardian?” Xu Zimei asked in confusion.

“You’re not one of us Fire Tribe?” Lie Zhongyan looked at Xu Zimei.

He couldn’t sense the flame within Xu Zimei.

“How could a human race person enter the Origin Land?

That’s just foolishness.”

Xu Zimei didn’t expect such a strong reaction and explained: “Though I’m of the human race, I’m here to protect their safety.

The situation this time is different.”

“What do you mean?” Lie Zhongyan asked with a frown.

“Has there been an issue with your fire source?” Xu Zimei asked.

“What nonsense,” Lie Zhongyan quickly reprimanded.

“The Fire Guardian Clan has guarded the fire source for so many years without any problems.

Even if our clan is wiped out, we would never let the fire source have any issues.”

No wonder Lie Zhongyan reacted so strongly.

The Fire Guardian Clan exists for this very purpose.

Guarding the fire and passing the flame is their duty.

If there’s a problem with the fire source, it would completely defile their belief.

“Don’t be agitated,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“When I said there was a problem, I didn’t mean an external issue but a problem with the fire source itself.

Right? In recent years, hasn’t the fire source shown some differences?”

Hearing this, Lie Zhongyan furrowed his brow deeply for a moment.

Finally responded, “Yes, the fire source has been particularly prone to eruptions in recent years.

Many of our Fire Guardians have been accidentally injured by these eruptions.”

“Then there’s no mistake,” Xu Zimei confirmed his thoughts.

Then said, “The Sun Palace has its own plans regarding this matter.

This time, it’s not just us who’ve entered here.

There are many people, some with impure intentions, so be careful.”

“Thank you for the reminder,” Lie Zhongyan nodded slightly.

But it’s evident that he’s still very wary of Xu Zimei and the others.

“By the way, you still haven’t told me, what are you Fire Guardians?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Actually, the so-called Fire Guardians are a form of consciousness entity.

When the ancestors of the Fire Tribe left the Origin Land for the Blazing Flame Realm, they created this consciousness entity.

Let them guard the fire source,” Xiao Anshan explained.

“Since then, they have regarded it as their duty for generations.

Stories about them have been passed down within our Fire Tribe.

But it is said that a thousand years ago, due to some special reasons, the Fire Guardians were all wiped out.

It’s unexpected and an honor to see them now.”

“What about the Fire Poison Beasts?” Xu Zimei asked.

“What are they? I see they’re also a kind of flame.”

“They are harmful substances formed after the flames burn out.

If these exist in large numbers, they will inevitably affect the Origin Land.

So every now and then, we carry out purges of the Fire Poison Beasts.”

Lie Zhongyan quickly introduced: “But ever since the event over a thousand years ago.

They have been unable to resist them.

Currently, they’re not to mention purging; even self-preservation must be done cautiously.”

Lie Zhongyan sighed slightly, showing his sorrow.

“Could we take a look at your guarding area?” At that moment, Xiao Anshan timely asked.

He gave Xu Zimei a signal.

These Fire Guardians must know the Origin Land best; to find opportunity, following them is certainly right.

“That’s probably not possible,” Lie Zhongyan said without thinking, denying directly.

“I ask everyone to understand, the guarding area is not accessible unless you have the Sun Palace Master’s token.

Otherwise, I cannot make the decision.”

“You’re being unreasonable; we all advocate reciprocity,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“We saved your life; shouldn’t you repay the favor?”

“We already have a deal with the Sun Palace.

Saving lives is expected,” Lie Zhongyan responded.

“Your deal with the Sun Palace has nothing to do with me,” Xu Zimei shook his hand.

Smiled, “I want to see the flame you’re guarding now; how about it?”

Xu Zimei’s intentions were already obvious.

He wanted to see the flame, but naturally, Lie Zhongyan wouldn’t agree.

Suddenly he felt as if he had just escaped the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s lair.

He retreated a few steps.

“Please don’t make it difficult.”

“Then let’s take you down first,” Xu Zimei waved his big hand.

Behind him, Xiao Anshan, Shangguan Xian, and Sect Master Bai also understood.

They surrounded from four directions, not allowing this group of Fire Guardians to escape.

Fire Guardians are indeed very important to the Fire Tribe.

But that was a long time ago.

Since the Sun Palace ruled the Origin Land, this Origin Land no longer belongs to the Fire Tribe.

It’s more like private property of the Sun Palace.

So this time, rare as it is to enter the Origin Land, nobody would care about these things.

Everyone is here to become stronger.

The things in the Origin Land must be very beneficial to the Fire Tribe people.

“Run,” Lie Zhongyan shouted to the Fire Guardians behind him.

But it was already too late.

Once Xu Zimei’s powerful suppression came down, all the Fire Guardians felt their bodies stiffen.

As if carrying a heavy mountain.

Xiao Anshan also waved his right hand, and chains made of flames flew out.

Firmly tying up the group of Fire Guardians.

“As a member of the Fire Tribe, you dare kill Fire Guardians,” Lie Zhongyan angrily rebuked.

“Who said we’re going to kill you?” Xiao Anshan shook his head.

Answering, “Actually, we can cooperate.”

“Who exactly are you? You’re definitely not from the Sun Palace, right,” Lie Zhongyan realized at that moment.
