As that perplexed voice echoed, the orange flames that washed over me seemed to turn into illusions. Although they completely engulfed me, they did not harm me like they did to those surrounding beasts. Apart from the intense brightness blinding my eyes, not a single hair on my head was scorched.
Then, at the center of the Fire Sea, light surged, gathering portions of the orange flames together to form a humanoid figure made of flames.
Much like when I had just returned to the Living World with Little Bowl and encountered Xuanming's attack, the fiery humanoid currently before me was also clearly a temporary avatar created by Xuanming using Flame Power from afar.
From the Taoyuan Village Cultivator attacking me, to my counterattack killing him, and then Xuanming's fiery avatar appearing... All these twists happened so swiftly, it dazzled any observer. It wasn't until now that Jiaoshu seemed to realize what was happening.
