"Junior Sister, you said that your clan's Great Elder has broken through to the Golden Core realm and is now in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City, wanting to see you?" Liu Muyang asked in surprise.

In Liu Muyang's memory, Lu Chengyue's family was just a small Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan. He also knew that there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lu family, including the family patriarch.

They were all ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now Lu Chengyue actually said that the Lu family's eldest elder had broken through to the Golden Core realm.

Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core is many times stronger than breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. The fact that the Lu family's Great Elder, who came from a small Foundation Establishment power like the Lu family, was able to successfully condense a Golden Core suggests that he is either a rare genius or possesses unimaginable good fortune.

"This is the message the First Elder sent me. Fifth Senior Brother, you can take a look!"

Lu Chengyue handed the talisman used to communicate with the Lu family to Liu Muyang for inspection, and then said, "Our Lu family's eldest elder has a very high talent for cultivation. I think it's perfectly normal that he was able to break through to the Golden Core realm smoothly!"

Lu Chengyue was among the second batch of mortals to return to the Lu family. During the period when they were no longer under the protection of the Lu family cultivators, Lu Chengyue and the other mortals of the Lu family actually had a very difficult time.

Later, Lu Chengyue and other mortals of the Lu family were moved from Jinyuan Mountain to Chiyan Mountain by Lu Cheng'an and other Lu family cultivators. These mortals were extremely grateful to Lu Cheng'an and other Lu family cultivators.

After Lu Chengyue became a seed of immortal cultivation, he learned that it was Lu Cheng'an who led him step by step to strength.

Therefore, she held Lu Cheng'an in high esteem. When she learned that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core realm, she was somewhat shocked, but she quickly realized that it was quite normal for Lu Cheng'an to be able to do this.

"Junior Sister, is your Lu family very close to the Burning Flame Mountains?" Liu Muyang asked.

Since entering the Desolate Ancient Sect, Lu Chengyue has never left it.

Although Liu Muyang was very close to Lu Chengyue, he only learned about the Lu family from Lu Chengyue and knew that the Lu family's Chiyan Mountain was near the Fenyan Mountain Range.

Liu Muyang didn't know much about Lu Cheng'an. After his initial shock, he quickly connected the matter to the monsters in the Burning Flame Mountains.

With the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains settling in the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, the Ancient Desolate Sect has naturally been paying close attention to the situation of the demonic beasts in the Hong'e Mountains.

The Ancient Desolate Sect was well aware that the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains intended to enter the Burning Flame Mountains, and the Golden Core sect near the Burning Flame Mountains was the Heavenly Flame Sect.

The Tianyan Sect has a total of four cultivators at the Golden Core stage, among whom the one with the highest cultivation is the Chongxu True Person, who is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Master Chongxu lost an arm in the previous battle with the demonic beasts of Hong'e Mountain, which significantly affected his combat strength.

After returning to his sect, Master Chongxu had been trying to use unorthodox methods to repair his severed arm. As a result, many cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage within the Tianyan Sect fell victim to Master Chongxu's wickedness.

The Ancient Desolate Sect knew about everything the Heavenly Flame Sect had done. Although the Ancient Desolate Sect did not stop them, they were still extremely disgusted by the Heavenly Flame Sect's actions.

However, the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains are about to enter the Fenyan Mountains. The Golden Core cultivators of the Tianyan Sect will need to withstand the onslaught of those third-tier demonic beasts. Therefore, the Huanggu Sect has not taken any action against the Tianyan Sect.

However, the appearance of Lu Cheng'an may change this situation.

"Our Lu family's Chiyan Mountain is located less than three hundred miles from the Burning Flame Mountain Range!"

When Lu Chengyue heard his fifth senior brother mention this matter, a look of worry appeared on his face.

Although she is currently only a Qi Refining cultivator, as the personal disciple of True Person Ku Shi, the information she knows far exceeds her actual cultivation level.

She knew that the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains would enter the Burning Flame Mountains, and she had been worried about it ever since.

She even mentioned this to her fifth senior brother, asking if there was any way to help their Lu family.

However, her fifth senior brother's answer was hard for her to accept. If the Lu family were really in danger, she could only bring a few close relatives to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

The main reason for this is that Lu Chengyue's cultivation level is too low.

The Ancient Desolate Sect would never take care of an entire family behind a mere Qi Refining cultivator like her, even if she was a direct disciple of True Person Ku Shi.

Moreover, the Golden Core cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect cannot interfere too much in this matter, as this is a secret agreement between the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Ancient Desolate Sect and the fourth-order demon king of the Hong'e Mountains.

If the Golden Core cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect attack the third-tier demonic beasts that have entered the Ancient Desolate Sect's territory, there is a very high chance that another great war will break out.

The Ancient Desolate Sect's battle with the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains has lasted too long and has consumed too much manpower and resources. If large-scale battles with the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains continue, it may affect the development of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

It is for this reason that the Ancient Desolate Sect tacitly allows third-tier demonic beasts from the Hong'e Mountains to enter the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

This only weakens the power of the affiliated forces within the Ancient Desolate Sect's territory, and will not have a significant impact on the Ancient Desolate Sect itself.

"Cheng Yue, you should first send a message to your eldest elder, asking him to wait in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City for a while. I'll tell my senior brother this message now and see what his plans are!"

After quickly giving instructions to Lu Chengyue, Liu Muyang headed straight for Chunqiu Peak, where his senior brother was located.

Liu Muyang's senior brother is a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Golden Core cultivators in the Ancient Desolate Sect can establish their own spiritual peaks. Spring and Autumn Peak is named after the Daoist title of True Man Spring and Autumn.

After Liu Muyang left, Lu Chengyue immediately sent a message to Lu Chengan using a communication talisman, and also briefly explained the situation of her fifth senior brother.

"It seems that the Ancient Desolate Sect values ​​my breakthrough to the Golden Core realm quite a bit. I wonder what their plans are next?"

After reading Lu Chengyue's message, Lu Cheng'an quickly understood that Liu Muyang's reaction must be related to the third-tier demonic beast in the Hong'e Mountains.

Lu Cheng'an didn't think about it for too long. After renting a temporary cave in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City, he waited for the Golden Core cultivators from the Desolate Ancient Sect to arrive.

Liu Muyang was the junior brother of Master Chunqiu. After arriving at Chunqiu Peak, he soon met Master Chunqiu, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Junior Brother, what brings you to me in such a hurry?" Master Chunqiu asked gently.

Chunqiu Zhenren was a very refined-looking young man. He appeared to be around thirty years old, but his actual age was well over one hundred.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, Junior Sister received a message from her clan today..."

Liu Muyang didn't waste any words; he quickly informed Chunqiu Zhenren of the Lu family's situation. "The Lu family's eldest elder has broken through to the Golden Core realm; this is indeed a good thing!"

Master Chunqiu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I'll take my junior sister to the Desolate Ancient Immortal City now to meet the Grand Elder of the Lu family!"

The reason why Master Chunqiu wanted to see Lu Cheng'an was because the Tianyan Sect had recently incurred the displeasure of the Huanggu Sect.

However, because there were no other Golden Core forces near the Burning Flame Mountains, the Ancient Desolate Sect did not take any action.

However, the Lu family's eldest elder has now broken through to the Golden Core realm, and this eldest elder, who has just broken through to the Golden Core realm, may not be that powerful.

However, as a cultivator at the Golden Core realm, if he were to receive the support of the Ancient Desolate Sect, he would certainly be able to contain the Heavenly Flame Sect, preventing True Person Chongxu from taking any more crazy actions.

Master Chunqiu moved swiftly. After making his decision, he took Liu Muyang and left Chunqiu Peak, then picked up Lu Chengyue and headed towards the Desolate Ancient Immortal City.

The Ancient Desolate Sect's mountain gate was very close to the Ancient Desolate Immortal City. True Man Chunqiu was a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He quickly led Liu Muyang and Lu Chengyue to the Ancient Desolate Immortal City.

Lu Cheng'an had already sent a message to Lu Chengyue informing her of his location. Upon learning that her senior brother was going to see their Grand Elder in person, Lu Chengyue immediately relayed the news to Lu Cheng'an.

"Lu Cheng'an greets the True Man!" Lu Cheng'an smiled broadly and strode toward the True Man of Spring and Autumn.

"I've already made a reservation at Xianzhenlou. Let's go inside and talk!" As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he led Chunqiu Zhenren into Xianzhenlou.

Immortal Treasure Pavilion is a very famous restaurant in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City. All the food and drinks here are high-grade spiritual treasures, which are not only delicious, but also very beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators.

Master Chunqiu didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Cheng'an. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Cheng'an, he entered the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

The Xianzhenlou restaurant served dishes very quickly. Soon after Lu Cheng'an and his group entered the private room, various rare and exquisite delicacies were served one after another.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an and Chunqiu Zhenren did not talk about the Burning Flame Mountains, but instead focused their conversation on Lu Chengyue.

"Fifth Junior Brother, take Junior Sister for a stroll in the city. I'll take you back to the sect later!" Master Chunqiu said gently, his gaze falling on Liu Muyang.

Liu Muyang knew that his senior brother had deliberately sent them away, so he did not hesitate and immediately left Xianzhen Tower with Lu Chengyue.

“I heard from my junior sister that Fellow Daoist Lu’s family is located in the Crimson Smoke Mountain within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect, which is very close to the Burning Flame Mountain Range. Fellow Daoist Lu, are you familiar with the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Sect?” Master Chunqiu asked with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am not familiar with the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Sect. On the contrary, I have a grudge against them!"

The real name of Chunqiu Zhenren was Zhang Zichun. He became famous for practicing the Chunqiu Sword Scripture, hence the Taoist name Chunqiu Zhenren.

Because of Lu Chengyue's relationship with him, and because Master Chunqiu was going to have Lu Chengan do things for him, he revealed his real name to Lu Chengan to show his closeness.

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on Chunqiu Zhenren. When he mentioned Tianyan Sect, he made no attempt to hide his killing intent.

"Because of Chongxu, the Tianyan Sect has been frequently killing cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage within its borders. After I broke through to the Golden Core stage and returned to my family, Chongxu and Xuankong came to the Lu family to attack me. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Ningyu from the Dan Ding Sect and I broke through to the Golden Core stage at the same time and joined forces to block the attacks of Chongxu and Xuankong, I would probably have already fallen victim to their poisonous hands!" Lu Cheng'an said angrily.

"Chongxu has some nerve! How dare he poison Fellow Daoist Lu!" Master Chunqiu roared, feeling extremely angry about what Chongxu had done.

Especially when the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains were about to enter the Burning Flame Mountains, Chongxu, for his own selfish interests, actually dared to attack the newly promoted Golden Core cultivators within the territory.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Master Chunqiu's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an again: "Fellow Daoist Lu said that Shi Ningyu of Dan Ding Sect has also broken through to the Golden Core realm. If you and Shi Ningyu join forces, plus my master's order, are you confident that you can suppress Chongxu and others from Tianyan Sect?"

Once the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains enter the Fenyan Mountains, have them focus all their efforts on attacking the third-tier demonic beasts.

The reason why Master Chunqiu asked this question was because he sensed that Lu Cheng'an's strength was much greater than he had imagined, even though Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had only recently broken through to the Golden Core realm.

The actions of Golden Core cultivators like Chongxu from the Tianyan Sect have already displeased the Huanggu Sect. Now, the Huanggu Sect wants to use Lu Cheng'an to suppress the Tianyan Sect.

However, the Ancient Desolate Sect still needs the Heavenly Flame Sect to help deal with the third-tier demonic beasts and resist the invasion of the Ancient Desolate Sect's power by the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

This will test Lu Cheng'an's abilities. If Lu Cheng'an can suppress the cultivators of the Tianyan Sect, then Lu Cheng'an will be the leader.

Otherwise, Lu Cheng'an would have to accept the orders of the Tianyan Sect.

The reason why Master Chunqiu is questioning Lu Cheng'an now is because of Lu Chengyue; otherwise, he would never have given the Lu family such an opportunity.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Zhang, when exactly will the third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains enter the Burning Flame Mountains? What is the strength of those third-tier demonic beasts?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

"The third-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains will probably head to the Burning Flame Mountains in about a year. There will be about six third-tier demonic beasts, including two mid-third-tier demonic beasts. These two mid-third-tier demonic beasts may be the Azure Flame Lion and the Six-Winged Golden Centipede!"

These two mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts are extremely powerful. The Azure Flame Lion is a descendant of the Azure Lion Demon King, and the Six-Winged Golden Centipede is an ancient and exotic species. Even I would have to be careful if I encountered them!

A solemn expression appeared on Master Chunqiu's face. There were several third-order spiritual veins in the Burning Flame Mountain Range, and this mountain range was also the former site of the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate.

This has led the demon king of the Hong'e Mountains to place great importance on the Burning Flame Mountains, and as a result, no third-tier demon beasts have been selected to go to the Burning Flame Mountains until now.

"How could the Hong'e Mountains send so many third-tier demonic beasts into the Burning Flame Mountains!" Lu Cheng'an's face showed shock.

The demon king of the Hong'e Mountains should be aware of the situation in the Burning Flame Mountains. The only Golden Core cultivator around the Burning Flame Mountains is the Heavenly Flame Sect, so why would they need to send out so many third-tier demon beasts?

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to worry too much. This is just the information we've gathered so far. There may not be that many Tier 3 demonic beasts entering the Burning Flame Mountain Range!"

"Your task is not to kill those third-tier demonic beasts, but simply to stop the demonic beasts of the Burning Flame Mountain Range from expanding their territory!" Master Chunqiu said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please rest assured, I am confident that I can suppress the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Sect a year from now!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice after thinking for a while.
