Jianmu City was the home territory of the Xi clan, meaning that Xia Qingyuan and the others were at a disadvantage.
That was why Xi Chan was daring to be so forceful and insisting on keeping them around.
However, while the forces of other imperial realms were incapable of doing as they pleased in Crimson Dragon City, the native forces didn't dare to act rashly either.
Xia Qingyuan did not balk at all and forcefully retorted, "Many of the people on Heavenly Flames Avenue witnessed what transpired personally—the flames were gifted to us by an old man. If you insist on being so forceful, then bring the old man here. If he told us to hand over the flames, we would comply without question. As for you people, we did not get the flames from you. Do you think that we'll just hand them over because you say that the flames are yours?"
