Xu Feiniang's initial Flying Sword Transmission was for the Fiery Fire Ancestor, not for Shi Nanxi. She merely described the situation in Mingyu Immortal Market in general terms, inviting him to come and see for himself.

As for how many Sects would be involved, the Fiery Fire Ancestor would calculate it himself; being a junior, Xu Feiniang was in an awkward position, and speaking too much might be detrimental.

Shi Nanxi only knew that Shi Feiyang had killed One Light Master, but according to their calculations, One Light Master was destined for Heavenly Punishment; Shi Feiyang merely took the opportunity to strike when he was already down at the last moment.

From his perspective, only the grand battle at Yuan River truly demonstrated Shi Feiyang's formidable power, but he had no intention of challenging Shi Feiyang head-on.

His goal this time was to blow up Mingyu Immortal Market, burn down Tianjin, and create chaos here with his Huashan Sect disciples; setting the Flying Sword Magical Treasure loose, killing whoever they encountered, and as many as possible, before scattering like birds and beasts, eventually regrouping back at Huashan.

He speculated that even if Shi Feiyang were incredibly powerful, he could not break through the Huashan's Mountain Protection Array. If Shi Feiyang really attacked Huashan, it would provide a perfect opportunity to trap him and his comrades in the Earth Core Fire Cave, then use the Supreme Heaven Fierce Fire Formation to incinerate them!

However, upon arriving here and seeing disciples from multiple Sects permanently stationed, he began to hesitate.

Shi Feiyang behaved as if he were merely running a business; since Shi Nanxi had declared that all past grievances were to be written off, Shi Feiyang welcomed them warmly, assisting them in choosing a residence which he named "Huayue Divine Flame," and even gifted them a Furnace of Eight Trigrams and fine charcoal.

Once Shi Feiyang left, the Huashan Sect disciples discussed their next moves inside the building.

A disciple called Jin Shenzi who was a True Master, tall and handsome with a horsetail whisk in hand, exuding a celestial air, asked Shi Nanxi, "The Mingyu Immortal Market is quite different from what we expected; do we still set the fire?"

Zhao Jinzhen, another disciple who was fair and beautiful like the legendary Yang Guifei, caressed the gold hairpin in her hair while speaking, "We should still set it. The situation is better than we expected. There's a group of Five Fire Elites in the West Market ready to ignite; just one spark and it will burn them all. With so many natural treasures there, we can take the opportunity to loot and take everything back to Huashan!"

Jin Shenzi hesitated, "But there are other Sects' disciples here. Fire is merciless; once we start the fire and if anyone gets hurt…"

"What's there to fear!" Zhao Jinzhen said dismissively, "Qingcheng Sect has always clung to Emei Sect, opposing us. Jiang Shu's disciple deserved to die long ago; even without setting the fire, I would have taken care of him. And what about Wudang and Kunlun? Our fire isn't specifically meant to burn them; if they die in the fire, it's merely an unfortunate collateral, a consequence of their inadequate skills. Even if Saintly Master Yideng and Mr. Zhong themselves turn up, we stand justified!"

Shi Nanxi already held a grudge against Kunlun Sect, and knowing that the Half-Sided Nun also came from Kunlun, he didn't care much about these two Sects.

This guy, known as one of the "Three Furies of Huashan," was extremely ruthless, acting recklessly, killing first and asking questions later!

Eventually, it was Shi Nanxi who decided—they must set the fire. To avoid prolonged risks and prevent the host from noticing, they would act tonight.

He assigned six of his most fearsome disciples to casually roam around to occupy six strategic positions around Mingyu Immortal Market. At midnight, following his signal, they would all strike simultaneously using the Supreme Heaven Liuhe Fire Formation to unleash fierce flames. The rest would head to the West Market to loot and kill anyone they saw before making their getaway!

As for Jin Shenzi's young disciple named Lei Qilong, who was originally a country shepherd and was discovered by Jin Shenzi due to his favourable constitution and cleverness, he was taken as a disciple and brought to Huashan.

Lei Qilong was barely eleven or twelve when he was brought to the mountain. Handsome with delicate features and rapidly growing taller, he was showing signs of becoming an exceptionally beautiful man. The female disciples of Huashan were astounded, calling him the Immortal Child of Huayue and even queued up to reserve his first night.

Jin Shenzi was quite proud, always keeping Lei Qilong close and meticulously teaching him the Inner Refining and Gathering Battle Technique.

By a stroke of luck, Lei Qilong was once sent to gather mesmerizing herbs and unintentionally encountered a Daoist-robed zombie in a cave, dark-faced with fang-like teeth and long sharp fingernails that attacked anyone on sight.

He killed the zombie with his Flying Sword and found a Daoist book in the cave.

The book, focused on techniques of the bedroom, discussed the Mud Water Collection Method, but was different from what his master had taught. It started by urging the practitioner to control desires, mastering them rather than being ruled by them, which was critical for cultivating according to this book. Otherwise, one would deviate into evil and face a tragic end.

The second chapter elaborated on Heaven and Earth Harmony, searching and merging of Heaven and Earth, the principles of Yin and Yang harmony, featuring methods of extraction, refinement, enhancement, and release, totaling thirty-six methods and seventy-two techniques.

Lei Qilong, naturally timid, memorized the entire book over a few days and could recite it fluently, yet he returned the book to its original place.

After returning to the mountain, he tried discussing the notions from the book with his master but was ridiculed by Jin Shenzi. "Those are just precepts made up by the so-called righteous to feign virtue. Even the Saints say that food and sex are natural to human nature, and one should fully enjoy life when things go well; why bother with unnecessary constraints?"
