Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Although the Sacred Heart Sect is far stronger than the Ancient Desolate Sect, the Sacred Heart Sect has to deal with more than just the Ancient Desolate Sect, which is a Nascent Soul sect.

The Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect in Qingzhou, and the Yaoxian Valley, Ziyang Sect, and Tianjian Sect in Hezhou—these five Nascent Soul sects have all restrained the power of the Sacred Heart Sect.

Currently, relying solely on the strength of the Sacred Heart Sect, it is still no match for the Nascent Soul sects within Qingzhou and Hezhou.

However, this is only because the Butterfly Demon King has not yet returned to the Hong'e Mountains. If the Butterfly Demon King returns, the situation is very likely to change.

News of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect fighting against Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Sect near the Black Nether Wasteland quickly spread throughout all the cultivation forces within the Ancient Desolate Sect's territory.

At this time, the heretical cultivators planted by the Sacred Heart Sect within the territory of the Desolate Ancient Sect also took action and began to continuously attack the immortal cultivation forces within the territory of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Lu Chengyue immediately relayed the message to the Lu family: True Person Yinshuang, along with third-tier demonic beasts such as Yuan Hong from the Hong'e Mountains, were rapidly heading towards the Lu family's location.

The Lu family's council chamber at Sun Peak.

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenxing sat on the left and right main seats respectively, while Lu Chengping and other Golden Core cultivators from the Lu family sat in order.

This meeting did not convene cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages of the Lu family; only Golden Core cultivators participated.

Lu Cheng'an's gaze swept over Lu Chengping and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"According to the information the family currently has, True Man Silver Frost and the two demonic beasts, Yuan Hong and Azure Flame Lion, are rapidly approaching our Lu family."

"I will leave the family later to track their movements. Keep an eye on your communication devices; I may send you a message at any time!" Lu Cheng'an said.

Although Celestial Locust and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains wanted to attack the Lu family, they did not take the Lu family too seriously.

Therefore, only Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, along with the Azure Flame Lion, were dispatched.

Lu Cheng'an was naturally not afraid of the one man and two demons. The power of the Lu family's Golden Core cultivators, along with the demon beasts like Que Yun and Ling Xuan, and the spiritual cultivators, was enough to annihilate the one man and two demons.

The reason he chose to leave the Lu family's mountain gate at this time was because he knew that True Person Silver Frost had a swarm of Black-Striped Sky Locusts.

He was well aware of the destructive power of the Black-Striped Locust. If True Person Silver Frost released the swarm of Black-Striped Locusts to wreak havoc within the Lu family's territory after entering, even if the Lu family eventually killed both the human and the demon, it would still cause considerable losses to the Lu family.

However, as soon as Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he was met with strong opposition from the other cultivators of the Lu family.

"Cheng'an, this is too dangerous. Wouldn't it be better if you stayed in the clan?"

“Silver Frost Immortal’s cultivation is at the Golden Core Perfection Realm, and she also has a swarm of Black-Striped Sky Locusts; Ape Hong and Azure Flame Fire Lion’s cultivation is also at the Third-Order Perfection Realm. If you are ambushed by them, you may be in danger!”

…………

"I know you're worried, but don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that after True Person Silver Frost enters our Lu family's territory, she will release that swarm of Black-Striped Sky Locusts and cause damage to our Lu family's land. If this happens, I must take action to stop her."

Our Lu family's territory isn't vast. If I were to attack them beforehand, I would immediately send you a message beforehand, and you could then quickly go to their aid!

Lu Cheng'an had already made up his mind, and Lu Wenxing and the others did not try to persuade him to change his mind.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng'an discussed with Lu Wenxing and others how to deal with the two demons and the one person, Yinshuang Zhenren, and finally decided that Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping would stay at the Lu family's mountain gate.

They were to remain at the Lu family's mountain gate to oversee the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array, while also bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting the family's safety.

After all, there are a large number of Lu family members in the Lu family's mountain gate, as well as all the Lu family's cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.

If the cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect and the Ancient Desolate Sect have any further tricks up their sleeves, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping can rely on the power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array to block this unknown attack.

"I will now depart from the tribe. You all stay in the tribe and prepare for battle!"

After discussing the matter with the Golden Core cultivators in his clan, Lu Cheng'an left the Lu family's mountain gate and sped off towards the place where Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, those two demonic beasts, might appear.

The Ancient Desolate Sect's mountain gate is located to the east of the Lu family, where various Golden Core cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect are also located.

The Hong'e Mountains are located southeast of the Lu family. There were no powerful cultivation forces in the Lu family and the Hong'e Mountains before.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an guessed that Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, those two demonic beasts, would enter the Lu family territory from the southeast.

When Lu Cheng'an arrived at the edge of the Lu family's southeastern territory, he began to conduct a thorough inspection.

Time passed slowly, and two days quickly went by.

Lu Cheng'an patrolled the area for two days but found no trace of Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, the two demonic beasts. He even wondered if the information his family had received was wrong.

Two days later, everything was normal at the Lu family's place, but at that moment he received a distress message from Shi Ningyu.

After learning that Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, those two demonic beasts, were preparing to attack the Lu family, Shi Ningyu immediately returned to Dan Ding Sect from the Lu family.

This is because the Dan Ding Sect and the Lu family are too close, and the Dan Ding Sect's defensive capabilities are no match for the Lu family's.

If Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong, those two demonic beasts, suddenly change their minds after arriving and attack Dan Ding Sect, then Dan Ding Sect will definitely not be able to withstand them.

That's why Shi Ningyu rushed back to Dan Ding Sect immediately after receiving the news.

If Yinshuang Zhenren, Yuan Hong, and Qingyan Huoshi were to attack the Lu family first, she would immediately go to the Lu family to provide support.

With the Lu family's strength, they can definitely hold out until she goes to provide support.

Now, True Immortal Silver Frost, Ape Hong, and Azure Flame Fire Lion have indeed made their move against the Pill Cauldron Sect first!

Shi Ningyu was also patrolling within the territory of the Dan Ding Sect when she discovered Yin Shuang Zhenren, Yuan Hong, and Qingyan Huoshi. Yin Shuang Zhenren was driving his swarm of black-striped locusts to wreak havoc on the Dan Ding Sect's territory.

Shi Ningyu naturally wouldn't stand idly by after discovering this, but before taking action, she sent a message to Lu Cheng'an, asking him to hurry up and come to her aid.

Shi Ningyu's cultivation level was at the late Golden Core stage, and her strength was extremely formidable. However, she was still no match for Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong and Qingyan Huoshi, who were one person and two demons.

She could only hold off the man and the two demons for a short while on her own. If the stalemate lasted too long, danger might arise.

"You are Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an's lover from the Lu family. We were planning to go find you, but we didn't expect you to come to us on your own initiative!"

"This little wench is really beautiful. Lu Cheng'an is quite lucky. After I capture her, I must enjoy her for a while before I kill her!"

…………

The Azure Flame Lion grinned lewdly at Shi Ningyu. He had suffered greatly at Lu Cheng'an's hands, and therefore harbored the deepest hatred for him. When he learned that Yuan Hong was about to attack the Lu family, he had begged to come to Lu family territory with him, because he wanted to witness Lu Cheng'an's death and the Lu family's extermination!
Prior to this, they had also inquired about the Lu family's situation and learned that the Lu family had an extremely close relationship with the Dan Ding Sect.

The female cultivator from the Dan Ding Sect named Shi Ningyu is also quite powerful, and she has long been entangled with Lu Cheng'an.

It was for this reason that they decided to take the initiative against the Dan Ding Sect.

Once the Dan Ding Sect is destroyed and Lu Cheng'an's lover is captured, Lu Cheng'an will be thrown into disarray!

A chilling light appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She struck out with her palm, and a jade-colored palm print quickly condensed, grabbing towards the body of the Azure Flame Lion.

This is the minor supernatural power she has cultivated, the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm!

The cultivation technique that Shi Ningyu practiced, the Divine Jade True Scripture, included two minor supernatural abilities: the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm and the Jade Soul Immortal Light.

She has cultivated these two minor supernatural abilities for many years, mastering the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm and perfecting the Jade Soul Immortal Light.

After Shi Ningyu launched the first attack with the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm, Yinshuang Zhenren and the two demons, Yuan Hong and Qingyan Fire Lion, did not hold back and launched an attack on Shi Ningyu at the same time.

The cultivation level of this human and the two demons was one minor realm higher than that of Shi Ningyu, and their strength was not weak either.

The Azure Flame Lion revealed its true form as a demon beast, transforming into a giant azure lion about ten feet tall and two feet long.

The blue lion's mane surged, like a blazing blue flame.

The Azure Flame Lion raised its massive paw, and a blue claw shadow swept across the sky, almost covering most of the sky.

This is the Shattering Void Claw, a demonic technique cultivated by the Azure Flame Lion. It is also the most powerful demonic technique he has mastered.

However, after colliding with the jade palm print, the huge claw shadow only lasted for a moment before being shattered by the jade palm print.

Although the Azure Flame Lion's cultivation level was at the peak of the third rank, he had consumed many treasures to enhance his cultivation during his cultivation, which caused his foundation to be somewhat unstable.

In addition, his own strength is mediocre, which makes his current strength not formidable.

Shi Ningyu didn't take the Azure Flame Lion seriously; what she feared were the Silver Frost Immortal and the demon Yuan Hong.

Neither the human nor the demon held back. Yuan Hong directly unleashed the most powerful demonic technique, the Six-Eyed Void-Piercing Divine Light, towards Shi Ningyu.

Two beams of blue light shot out from the vertical eye between Yuan Hong's eyebrows. The two beams of blue light intertwined and gradually turned into a dark blue.

After sensing the power contained in that deep blue light, a solemn expression appeared on Shi Ningyu's face.

With a thought, she immediately used the Jade Soul Immortal Light, a minor supernatural power, to resist the attack of the deep blue light.

Shi Ningyu cultivated the minor divine power of Jade Soul Immortal Light to perfection, which made the power of Jade Soul Immortal Light far stronger than Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm.

When the Jade Soul Immortal Light and the Six-Eyed Void-Piercing Divine Light released by Ape Hong collided, a violent explosion was immediately produced.

The deep blue and jade white light reflected off each other, like a dazzling firework bursting open.

At this moment, Silver Frost Immortal's attack also arrived.

Yinshuang Zhenren did not practice minor supernatural powers; instead, she summoned a palm-sized, blood-red stone statue.

The stone statue had the face of an infant, lifelike, but its entire body was blood red, as if it had been skinned, making it look extremely creepy.

After Yinshuang Zhenren unleashed the blood-red infant statue, he chanted an extremely strange incantation. At that moment, a bizarre cry came from the statue.

Then a blood-red infant finger mark appeared, like a blood-red lightning bolt, pointing towards Shi Ningyu's brow.

The blood-red infant fingerprints were eerie and powerful. As they flew, it sounded like countless wronged infants crying desperately, and these sounds would affect the cultivator's soul.

Once the soul is trapped in it, it will be pulled into an extremely terrifying illusion.

Shi Ningyu cultivated the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, and her divine soul was extremely powerful, so she was naturally unaffected by these sounds.

She quickly summoned her natal magic weapon, the Divine Jade Pagoda.

A jade pagoda floated above Shi Ningyu's head, casting wisps of jade-colored light that firmly protected her body.

The Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda is a magic weapon that combines offense and defense, and its quality has reached the top grade of the third tier!
However, the attack of that blood-red infant finger mark was indeed extremely terrifying. After it touched the jade-colored light emanating from the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, it quickly broke through the defense of the jade-colored light.

Fortunately, Shi Ningyu reacted immediately, using her Jade Soul Immortal Light to block the subsequent power of the finger imprint.

After that, Shi Ningyu stopped attacking and fully activated the power of the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, preparing to rely on the power of her natal magic weapon to hold off Yinshuang Zhenren and the two demons, Yuan Hong.

Yinshuang Zhenren immediately saw through Shi Ningyu's plan, and then a sinister smile appeared on her face.

Silver Frost Immortal then produced a palm-sized grass cage, which was made of some unknown material and was covered with countless runes.

Master Yinshuang quickly cast a spell, and the sealed grass cage was opened.

Then, a dense swarm of black-striped locusts rushed out of the grass cage, howling as they swept towards Shi Ningyu's body.

There were a great many of these Black-Striped Sky Locusts, and they were all extremely powerful. The leader of the Black-Striped Sky Locusts was even at the late stage of the third rank.

In addition, there were a dozen or so third-order black-striped locusts in the swarm.

The Black-striped Sky Locust is adept at breaking through defenses, and now that so many Black-striped Sky Locusts are attacking Shi Ningyu at the same time, it immediately puts great pressure on Shi Ningyu.

After a few breaths, the third-tier black-striped locusts devoured the jade-colored light released by the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, causing considerable damage to the pagoda.

Originally, Shi Ningyu wanted to keep this person and two demons occupied, but their strength was even greater than she had hoped.

Therefore, she immediately changed her mind and sped off towards the Lu family's location.

Shi Ningyu cultivated a kind of escape technique called the Flying Rainbow Technique, which was an extremely profound escape technique.

Shi Ningyu has devoted a lot of energy to the Flying Rainbow Technique, but even so, she has only just mastered it to the Great Perfection level.

The Flying Rainbow Technique at its peak had given Shi Ningyu extreme speed. With her flying at full speed, it was extremely difficult for True Person Silver Frost and the two demons, Yuan Hong and Shi Ningyu, to catch up.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an quickly appeared before Shi Ningyu. (End of Chapter)
