Chapter 251: Chapter 249: Fire Sparrow’s Will

"Patriarch, what is that?"

Many of the Jiang Clan Members didn’t know what the Fire Sparrow Order was, and a flurry of questions broke out.

Jiang Han explained in a grave voice, "The Fire Sparrow Order is a symbol of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s supreme, unchallengeable authority."

"Any citizen of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom who sees the Fire Sparrow Order must kneel and pay respects. Failure to do so is punishable by death."

HISS...

The members of the Jiang Family all gasped.

Only then did they understand the true meaning of the Fire Sparrow Order.

Now, as they looked at the Fire Sparrow Order in Wen Bufan’s hand, their faces filled with terror.

None of them had ever imagined that a single Fire Sparrow Order could be so terrifying.

Besides, the Fire Sparrow Kingdom was an incredibly formidable power.

Hanwu City was just one city in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. The kingdom ruled over nine such cities, and Hanwu City was merely one of them.

The situation was spiraling out of control.

Just moments ago, the Jiang Family had summoned the courage to defy the City Lord’s Mansion. Now, they were suddenly filled with dread.

Their fear wasn’t of the City Lord’s Mansion, but of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Even Jiang Han and Elder Qi exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

"The Fire Sparrow Order is here! Why are you not on your knees?"

Seeing this, Wen Bufan grew even more smug and shouted again.

Those who knew of the Fire Sparrow Seal were well aware of what the Fire Sparrow Order represented.

Holding the Fire Sparrow Order now, he was filled with arrogance.

’Everything is under my control.’

"Jiang Han, as the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, can it be that you don’t know of the Fire Sparrow Order?"

"As a citizen of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the Fire Sparrow is the sky above your head! When you see the Fire Sparrow Order, you must kneel and pay respect! You must not resist!"

"Now, kneel."

Jiang Han’s face turned ashen. His heart was filled with bitterness.

’I never thought Wen Bufan had a move like this up his sleeve.’

If he didn’t kneel to the Fire Sparrow Order now, he would be offending the dignity of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. If that happened, the kingdom would immediately dispatch its experts to annihilate the Jiang Family.

In the end, he felt helpless.

THUD!

He was the first to fall to his knees.

What?

Seeing that even their Patriarch, Jiang Han, had kneeled, the expressions of the other Jiang Family members changed drastically.

"All of you, kneel. Now," Jiang Han said helplessly to the other clan members.

Right now, it was impossible to defy the Fire Sparrow Order from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Though it was just a token, it truly represented the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

THUD...

THUD...

One by one, the clan members—Jiang Men, Jiang Gan—all knelt down. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

They were still filled with awe and reverence for the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

They had no choice but to kneel.

Only Elder Qi remained seated in his wheelchair.

His expression was dark and uncertain.

Wen Bufan saw this and bellowed, "You old fool, are you courting death? Kneel!"

"Do you wish to offend the dignity of the Fire Sparrow Order?"

Elder Qi was silent for a moment, then suddenly demanded, "You claim that’s the Fire Sparrow Order in your hand. How can you prove it?"

He didn’t want to kneel and clung to a sliver of hope that it wasn’t a real Fire Sparrow Order.

Even though he had a feeling it was.

Wen Bufan laughed.

"You foolish old thing."

"To actually disbelieve me... this is rebellion, you know that?"

"Since you insist, I will prove to you whether or not this is the Fire Sparrow Order."

To demonstrate the order’s authenticity, he fiercely squeezed a drop of fresh blood from his fingertip.

A single drop of crimson blood slowly fell toward the Fire Sparrow Order.

The Fire Sparrow Order could only be activated by the bloodline of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Royal Family, the Wen Family.

Wen Bufan was a pure-blooded member of the Wen Family, a member of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Royal Family.

His blood dripped onto the Fire Sparrow Order.

It was instantly absorbed by the Fire Sparrow Seal.

BZZZZZ...

In that instant, the Fire Sparrow Order trembled.

An even more scorching heat emanated from it.

In a flash, the entire Fire Sparrow Order seemed to ignite, turning a deep, blood-red.

Immediately after, a strange, clear cry suddenly rang out.

CHIRP...

CHIRP...

The cries continuously echoed out from the Fire Sparrow Order.

The sound grew higher and higher pitched.

The next moment...

WHOOSH...

A red light flared from the Fire Sparrow Order.

A beam of red light shot out from the order, and a fiery glow soared into the sky.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the scene.

That fiery glow was not just a glow.

It was a firebird.

No, it should be called a Fire Sparrow.

This was a manifestation of a Fire Sparrow’s will.

Though not a physical being, it seemed just as real.

The Fire Sparrow appeared over Hanwu City.

At almost the same moment, everyone in Hanwu City heard the commotion in the sky and looked up.

They saw a massive Fire Sparrow soaring above the city.

Its body was wreathed in flames—a true firebird.

At the same time, it radiated a powerful pressure that enveloped all of Hanwu City.

After all, the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Guardian Fire Sparrow possessed true Martial Emperor Cultivation, making it terrifyingly powerful.

Even a mere fragment of its will possessed a portion of the Fire Sparrow’s might.

Instantly, everyone in Hanwu City fell to their knees in worship of the Fire Sparrow.

The streets filled with kneeling figures. No one dared to remain standing.

"The Guardian Beast! It’s the Guardian Fire Sparrow!"

"The Fire Sparrow has appeared in the mortal realm again!"

Countless people cried out, stunned by the Fire Sparrow’s appearance.

Even from their high tower in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu were utterly horrified as they watched the will of the Fire Sparrow dance above their heads.

"What a powerful manifestation of the Fire Sparrow’s will."

"It truly lives up to its name as the Guardian Beast of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

"A mere sliver of its will is enough to suppress a Martial King Expert."

Indeed, at this moment, Martial King Experts like Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu were completely powerless against the will of the Fire Sparrow.

They hurriedly hid inside the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, not daring to show themselves.

Even the Alchemists from the Alchemy Master Guild were scared into hiding.

They didn’t worship the Fire Sparrow of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, but its current power was so immense that no one could help but be afraid.

They didn’t dare face it and could only hide.

Wen Bufan gazed at the will of the Fire Sparrow in the sky, his eyes shining brightly as he bowed deeply to it.

The others from the City Lord’s Mansion, Lin Hai included, all dropped to one knee before the Fire Sparrow.

Even the Martial King Puppet dropped to one knee.

They all knelt in deference to the Fire Sparrow.

When the Fire Sparrow Seal appeared, the masses would kneel in worship. This was the kind of magnificent spectacle it created.

The image of the Fire Sparrow was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people, shocking every last one of them.

Jiang Han and the others had faces drained of all color.

"It’s real. It’s actually a real Fire Sparrow."

"Heavens, the Fire Sparrow is too powerful!"

Even the Jiang Family had to admit that this Fire Sparrow was utterly terrifying. It extinguished any thought of resistance, leaving only the desire to kneel and worship it.

Only now did they realize the true power of the Fire Sparrow Order.

Elder Qi’s jaw dropped.

He was stunned and utterly shocked.

’It’s real,’ he thought, sighing inwardly.

As the Fire Sparrow danced in the air, he slid out of his wheelchair and prostrated himself on the ground.

He didn’t dare defy the will of the Fire Sparrow.

The Fire Sparrow was dozens of meters large, its wingspan seeming to cover the sky as it stretched them.

Its intense flames looked as if they could incinerate all of Hanwu City.

The pressure it exuded grew stronger with each passing moment.
