"Did you just call me a demoness...alright...I will show you how a demoness looks like" Huo Ying said then she conjured flames in her palm, the disciples immediately moved back as soon as they saw the flames on her hand.

Considering the damage that Huo Lan's flames have done to some of their senior disciples, they can't be sure that Huo Ying's flame wouldn't have the same effect as her sister's flame, Bohai sense of danger immediately lit up then he quickly ran to her front to stop her. ​​

She glanced at him from the side with a threatening look in her eyes but that couldn't scare him away, how can he be scared of her when he doesn't even consider her to be more powerful than him but he still reminded himself to be careful of her flames, they still can't be sure of how powerful her flame is.

"Miss Huo Ying, I urge you to stop right at this moment, I can ignore what you did to Meng Hui but I will not let you harm any disciple, You are a guest in this sect, you should mind your actions before you are convicted," Bohai warned with a resolute look in his eyes, this time, he was determined to do whatever it takes to stop her from doing whatever it is that she intends to do, seeing as she has repeatedly undermined his ability when she hasn't even seen him at his best and the fact that he might take her for her sister but she is not really Huo Lan made him resolute in his decision to do whatever it takes to stop her.

She turned to face him with a smirk on her lips...

"Okay, seeing as your disciples are cheering you on, they must be very confident of your abilities, I will start with you first then maybe it will serve as a lesson to every disciple of the wind sect to watch what they say about the flame sect" as soon as she concluded her statement, she conjured flames in her other hand and increased the intensity of the flame that even the disciples that were far behind could feel the heat but Bohai isn't any weaker...

Seeing that she doesn't have any intention of listening to him, he raised his hands and waved them over his head, drawing an arc in the air then he brought his hands together with one over the other, a light blue aura appeared in the middle of his hands, increasing his spiritual force, the blue aura started blowing around in the shape of a tornado.

"It seems like I will also be having a taste of what the wind power of the wind sect is like, raising her hand into the air and forming an arc in the air, she brought her hands together in a clap and brought them apart with her red flames appearing in the middle of her hand, she swept one of her legs backwards and directed the flames at him, his widened immediately he saw her flames coming towards him, he quickly pushed his hand out, blocking her flames with his wind.

"I will see how long you can last," Huo Ying remarked with a smirk on her face as she continued directing her flame at him, while Bohai still kept his confident look on his face, he wouldn't believe that there is someone who can surpass him among his generation, he has always held pride in his title as the genius cultivator of his generations, of course, he won't concede to her.

"I urge you to stop now, I am not using my full power against you because I don't want to cause a rift between both sect but if you won't listen then you really leave me with no choice" Bohai warned again.

"Do you think I am even using up to thirty per cent of my power against you, you are not worth it, as I previously told you, killing you is as easy as lifting my hand but I don't want to kill you...at least not now" Huo Ying replied

{she can't be telling the truth, I can already feel the intensity of her flame but she is not using....no way...she must be bluffing}

He couldn't help the feeling of wanting to show her that she cannot be compared to him but it didn't seem like he would be able to, he wasn't using all his strength because using all his strength would make her his worthy opponent and he didn't want that to happen, whether or not she is the same person he had escorted, he needed to prove himself.

"Young mistress!!" two voiced shouted from the sideless with their eyes widened while a small figure dashed towards Huo Ying with her brandished sword pointing at Huo Ying from behind, the both of them shifted their eyes from Huo Ying to the figure coming towards her then they both bolted towards Huo Ying to stop her from doing further harm and to rescue her from the sneak attack.

Huo Qiang held her by her wrist and pulled her to his side then he conjured his flames in full force and bolted it towards Bohai who quickly waved his hands, trapping the flames in between the blue aura in his hand to quench it while his legs slid backwards due to the pressure of his power. Huo Mei on the other hand quickly stepped in front of Huo Ying to take the stab for her, the long and slender silver sword, piercing through her chest.

Meng Hui eyes lit up at the realization of what she has done, Huo Mei held the middle of the sword with bare hands and blood dripping from her palm with her eyes looking down on the sword, she slowly raised her head up to meet the guilty eyes of Meng Hui.

Using her spiritual force, she landed her a palm strike on the left side of her chest, causing her to fly backwards and eventually landing on the floor, while Huo Mei pulled the sword out of her chest and pressed her hand against the wound on the left side of her chest.

"Huo Mei!" Huo Ying called out, after regaining her senses, the urge to kill had already left her and she became more aware of herself, looking around her, she came to the sudden realization of the drama she had caused.

Huo Qiang still held her wrist to restrain her in case if she still hasn't returned to her sense but the horrified look she had in her eyes seeing Huo Mei bloodied chest confirmed that she is back to being herself, he released her wrist then the both of them quickly ran to support Huo Mei before she falls to the ground.

They both held her with both arms as they knelt on the ground together to support her, Huo Ying placed her hands on the injury as tears flowed out of her eyes and dropped on the wound, the disciples ran to Meng Hui side as they saw that she had started coughing up blood.

The dark and thick blood that dripped out of the side of the mouth as she struggled to stand up with her hand against her chest, showed that if Huo Mei had slightly increased the force she used in hitting her then she would have lost her life.

"Senior disciple!" they all chorused as they watched her wince in pain while Bohai stood between both parties in confusion, now that the only causality is on the flame sect side and Meng Hui was the one who started the whole fight, he would surely have to bear the responsibility of what happened.

"Fool....why did you take the stab for me, what if you lose your life?" Huo Ying scolded amidst her tears, while she pressed her hand against Huo Mei's chest to stop the wound from bleeding, Huo Qiang removed his sleeve band and folded it into a small ball before pressing it against her chest.

"My life is yours, if anything happens to you then I won't be able to face the sect madam...I...I..." she slowly closed her eye with her head leaning on her lap, Huo Ying opened her eye widely to make sure that she was seeing well.

"Huo Mei, Huo Mei!!" she shouted to wake her up but to no avail, then she slowly turned her head towards Meng Hui's direction with a deadly look in her eyes, that showed her killing intent very clearly, Meng Hui almost fell to the ground as the guilt she felt seeing Huo Mei close her eyes made her legs almost lose their function.

"It wasn't me.....I didn't do anything" she repeatedly said then she ran to Bohai's side, she held his hand tightly with a desperate look on her face.

"Bohai, you saw it right, I didn't mean to stab her, she just ran in front of me" Meng Hui insisted in hopes that he would reassure her that she is blameless but his eyes told her otherwise, he didn't know what to say but he definitely knows that she is the cause of all that had transpired, if only she would just let Huo Ying retire to her quarters in peace after thanking him then none of this would have happened.

"I will kill you..." her chest moved up and down as she took in a deep breath that failed its function, she balled her fist and pressed her fingernails against her palm, at the moment, she didn't need whatever was inside her, she truly wanted to kill Meng Hui for hurting her person.

This time, Huo Qiang is fully aware that she is being herself, the Huo Ying that would do anything for her people and the one who would do anything to take revenge on whoever hurts her loved ones, he looked into her eyes and seeing that they weren't red, he confirmed that she is herself.

"I will rip you to pieces and burn your carcass.....no...no I have a better way to make you feel immeasurable pain, you don't deserve to die easily with what you have done,"

She stood up to attack Meng Hui but Huo Qiang pulled her down.

"Let me go!" she shouted at him in anger

"Don't you think I would have finished her off if she had truly killed Huo Mei but she is still alive, this means that Huo Mei isn't dead, she still has a pulse but it is weak, if we don't treat her now, she might really die," Huo Qiang persuaded, she held out her fingers to feel her pulse when she confirmed that he was speaking the truth, she carried Huo Mei in her arms and stood up swiftly then she started walking into her quarter with Huo Qiang following behind her.

She suddenly stopped halfway and turned back...

"This is not the end of it, if anything happens to her then I promise that I will make you feel immeasurable pain, you had better pray..." then she continued walking forward, after she had disappeared into her quarters, they all released their breath that they had been holding ever since she made her threat.

Meng Hui couldn't believe that she was actually terrified by her threat when she has Bohai and the whole of the wind sect behind her, her feeling of guilt immediately disappeared as soon as Huo Ying went out of sight and the fear inside her disappeared almost immediately.

"Do you see what your foolishness has caused you?" Bohai scolded as he brushed her hand away from his hand with his anger evident on his face, if only she had listened to him at the start...

"What are you saying she was the one who strangled me first?" Meng Hui retorted while the disciples nodded their head in affirmation.

"Hmmph...I thought you were feeling guilty for what you did a moment ago but it appears that you don't, if you didn't say all those things in front of her to the extent of almost spilling the things that you should say, would all of this had happened?" Bohai queried, this time, he raised his voice at her to their surprise since they weren't there the first time he did.

"What....do you actually have feelings for her despite meeting her for the first time, who do you think the sect leader will blame, I was trying to uphold the honour of our sect while you sided with her the whole time, as the young master of the wind sect, you forgot your purpose just because of her seduction, what gives you the right to blame it on me?"

The disciple started murmuring...

Does he really have feelings for the flame sect witch?

It couldn't be.

What is she talking about?

Bohai looked around in embarrassment but he wouldn't let her have her way.

"Meng Hui, you must have forgotten your place in the sect, you are the head of disciples and I am the young master, as the head of the disciples, you have failed in your duty and have disrespected my authority over you by disobeying me, your actions have endangered the sect plans, do you or do you not deserve to be punished?" She couldn't believe her ears, ever since she had known him, he has never used his authority over her but he actually.....she could tell that he meant every word he said and she couldn't afford to mess with him at this moment.

She moved back and cupped her hands together in front of her chest with her head slightly bowed...

"I admit my fault...young master," she answered.

Their jaws dropped at her answer...

YOUNG MASTER!!!!

They have never heard her calling him that but today.....they could tell that so many things had happened before they arrived, the female disciples were happy that he has finally put her in her place, now they can finally approach him without having her in their way.

"You are injured so I will not punish you but it will be the last time such a thing would occur, I will personally report this incident to the sect leader, you may return to your quarter to get treated," without further ado, he walked away with long strides that reminded them that he is indeed the genius young master of their sect, while Meng Hui kept her head bowed until he was out of sight.
