The Inflamed region

Arriving home, Si Zhang washed himself and waited until it was nighttime. Seeing that it was dark, he went to the forge to retrieve his sword.

"junior, you have come. I have sharpened your sword to the maximum. Your sword was already very sharp and now it is sharper then sharp hahahahah" laughing with the blacksmith without knowing why, Si Zhang retrieved his sword and returned home.

"Little Zhang did you take a stroll around the domain?" seeing Master Si, Si Zhang had questions about the scroll he handed him this morning, but it's not like he could explain what he knew, it was because of the system that he knew. So it was better to say nothing.

"Yes master I have taken a stroll around the domain and I even sharpened my sword"

"good good, always take care of your sword. And how is your horse going, have you finally found a name?" seeing Master Si ask him all those questions, Si Zhang felt that Master Si was like his father.

"haha yes, I have found a name and it is Yami. He is a strong horse, particularly his legs. When I went to visit him there was an old men with a curved back trying to feed him"

Master Si was a little bit intrigued by what Si Zhang said. "you said an old man with a curved back?" Si Zhang nodded. Master Si found it weird indeed, because in the whole Si clan there was no old man with a curved back.

Sending Si Zhang to sleep. Master Si who was going to lead the clan from tomorrow on had to stay alert. "who can this old man be?"

The sun was hanging in the sky, Si Zhang dressed and bid farewell to Master Si and butler Hao. Running to the main gate, he was greeted by Si Chyou, Si Zixin, Si Hu and Si Feng. The fifth and the sixth elder were also present. Only the clan leader was missing.

"Friends, sorry for the wait" the clan leader finally arrived. He was panting just by walking from the clan domain to the main gate. Si Zhang found it weird. "he is maybe sick?" he thought.

"everybody follow me" seeing the clan leader. The guards opened the main gate and the clan leader exited Si City followed by everyone else.

After having walked one hundred meter away from the city, the clan leader shouted like a beast. "OOOOOUUUHAAAAAAARAAAA!"

"Why the fuck did he shout like a monster!?" thought Si Zhang but for the others apparently it wasn't surprising. Seconds later the figure of a great flying beast could be seen one kilometer away.

The flying beast was extremely fast. In ten seconds he had parcoured the one kilometer.

The beast landed in front of them. It was black with red scales, with a towering six meters of hight and twelve meters of length, they could scare anyone. They were called the flying lizards.

"hop on everyone" hopping on, they had to grip the scales to not fall. "RAHAAAABOUU" responding to the clan leader's command. The flying lizard began flying towards the great Demon City.

When they were flying the fifth elder decided to explain things about the Wang clan.

"The Wang clan has control over the whole region, not like other clans which only have control over one province from the region where they are in."

"The region that belongs to the Wang clan is the Inflamed region. There, flames submerge everything. It burns everything that touches the ground. The only ones who can counter the flames are the ones that cultivates them. For millenniums the Wang clan cultivated this flame technique. They are masters of it"

Hearing this all the disciples were impressed.

The fifth elder resumed.

"The legend says that ten thousand years ago, the flame dragon Nuo had come upon the ancestors of the Wang clan. They were kind to her and her only child, but they were only being kind to gain her trust.

One day, the flame dragon Nuo had to go, but she gave her child to the Wang clan ancestors for them to take care of. They finally had what they wanted, an inoffensive little dragon. They proceeded in killing the little dragon and ate his heart. His heart was big enough to give one piece to each clan member.

By eating the little dragon's heart they all assimilated the dragon's blood in their own, giving them immunity against all common flames, including the flames of the flame dragon Nuo. For decades, the flame dragon Nuo had never come once. But one day, they saw her coming from the sky, She landed in front of the Wang clan. "Wang clan, thank you for having taken care of my child. Today I came back to take him with me."

Wang Chao, who was the clan leader, confronted the flame dragon Nuo. "old dragon Nuo, your child is dead. We have killed him! We now posses the power of your flames, so begone before I kill you too!"

Having heard what Wang Chao said, the flame dragon Nuo went crazy. With her mighty breath she burned the whole region down and tried to kill all Wang clan members. But the might that the Martial Devil Wang Chao possessed coupled with the flames of the dragon that he could now control, she was no match. After having been killed, they also feasted on her flesh and specifically on her heart.

All those flames that are burning the region are the remnants of the battle that ensued ten thousand years ago"

After the fifth elder finished recounting the legend, they all stayed silent and they all had the same thought. "does the Wang clan members then have dragon bloodline?"

Looking far away they could see the flames engulf everything.

They were approaching the Inflamed region.
