Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 316 Supporting the Ancient Ancient Sect

Although the Sacred Heart Sect was regarded as an evil sect by Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect, the Nascent Soul cultivators led by the Sacred Heart Ancestor did not practice evil techniques. They simply cultivated and accepted a large number of evil cultivators.

However, when the Holy Heart Ancestor ordered the attack on the cultivation world of Hezhou, he gave a strict order to those evil cultivators not to slaughter the cultivators of the cultivation world of Hezhou at will.

Although those evil cultivators were wicked, they were extremely afraid of the Holy Heart Ancestor and dared not disobey his orders.

The Sacred Heart Sect is even more powerful than the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains. The three Nascent Soul sects, Medicine Immortal Valley, Purple Sun Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect, are in a worse situation than the three sects of the Desolate Ancient Sect when facing the Sacred Heart Sect's attack.

Especially Medicine Immortal Valley, this Nascent Soul sect is good at refining pills, but the cultivators in the sect are not good at fighting.

Right now, Medicine Immortal Valley is barely holding on by relying on the sect's protective mountain formation, but given the current situation, they won't be able to hold on for much longer.

In at most another month, the gates of Yaoxian Valley may be breached.

The cultivation forces within the three sects of Yaoxian Valley were also attacked by the Sacred Heart Sect, but the Sacred Heart Sect gave these cultivation forces another option.

If these cultivation forces were to join the Sacred Heart Sect and follow its orders to attack the three Nascent Soul sects of Medicine Immortal Valley, they would no longer face the danger of annihilation.

Although these cultivation forces are affiliated with the three Nascent Soul sects of Medicine Immortal Valley, they do not have much loyalty to them.

Especially under such a life-or-death threat, they agreed to the Sacred Heart Sect's request without much consideration. Then, as the Sacred Heart Sect instructed, they gathered their sect's strength and cultivators to launch an attack on the three Nascent Soul sects of Medicine Immortal Valley.

Although there are no Nascent Soul cultivators among the affiliated forces within the three sects' territory, the combined power of these cultivation forces is still considerable, which puts even greater pressure on the three sects of Medicine Immortal Valley.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, the Ancient Desolate Sect told Lu Cheng'an all the information they had about Qingzhou and Hezhou, and they also inquired about the current situation of the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an's initial joy at subduing the two demon kings, Ghostwood and Snow Crane, was immediately replaced by worry upon seeing the message from the Ancient Desolate Sect.

The battle between the Lu family and the Ghostwood Demon King and other demonic beasts was merely the least important part of the attack launched by the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains against Qingzhou and Hezhou.

Even though they subdued the two fourth-tier demonic beasts, Ghostwood, it didn't affect the overall battle situation.

Unless the Ancient Desolate Sect can kill all the demonic beasts, including the Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King, that are attacking them!

"The Iron Bear and Silver Wolf, two fourth-tier demonic beasts, attacked the Golden Core forces within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect on the orders of the Three-Headed Flame Python. Now, the only one remaining by the Three-Headed Flame Python's side is the late-stage fourth-tier Azure Lion Demon King!"

Lu Cheng'an looked thoughtful, his mind racing, and then he sent a message to the Ancient Desolate Sect.

He wanted to go to the Ancient Desolate Sect, where he, along with True Monarch Suigu and True Monarch Kushi, would use the Ancient Stillness Seal together. If the three of them joined forces, the Ancient Stillness Seal would definitely have a greater impact on the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

The Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King has now suffered extremely serious injuries, and it is possible that True Monarch Qiongmiao will kill it directly.

Once the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, who was at the fourth-order perfect realm, was killed, the remaining Azure Lion Demon King, Iron Bear Demon King, and Silver Wolf Demon King would be no threat.

After this idea came to Lu Cheng'an's mind, he immediately sent a message to the Ancient Desolate Sect to tell them about the current situation of his family, as well as his thoughts.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect, including True Monarch Kushi, were all extremely shocked after seeing the contents of Lu Cheng'an's message.

Because they knew the strength of the demonic beast attacking the Lu family. The Ghostwood Demon King was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, while Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. They were already able to deal with a demonic beast like the Ghostwood Demon King, who was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

"Sect Master, I think Lu Cheng'an makes sense. If he comes to help, the three of us can use the Jinggu Seal at the same time. With your strength and the power of the Zhentian Thunder Talisman, we still have a chance to kill him!" Suigu Zhenjun said in a deep voice.

The Thunderous Talisman is a top-grade fourth-tier talisman treasured by the Ancient Desolate Sect. The Ancient Desolate Sect only has two of these talismans.

However, if this talisman could be used to kill the three-headed fire python demon king, who was at the fourth-order perfect realm, then the price paid by the Ancient Desolate Sect would be worthwhile.

"How well does Lu Cheng'an have mastered the Jinggu Seal?" True Monarch Qiongmiao asked in a deep voice.

Although Lu Cheng'an is now deeply involved with the Ancient Desolate Sect, he has not yet had any real contact with True Monarch Qiongmiao, and they do not know each other very well.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun knew that the Jinggu Seal was deduced by Lu Cheng'an based on the Suigu Zhenjing, and she had already witnessed the power of this divine ability.

If Lu Cheng'an's cultivation of this divine power is profound, then if they attack the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King together, they might actually be able to kill it.

"Sect Master, you can rest assured. Lu Cheng'an has a deep understanding of the Tranquil Ancient Seal. It was with his help that I was able to cultivate this divine power to the Great Perfection level," True Monarch Suigu immediately said.

“Then send a message to Lu Cheng’an now and ask him to come to the sect!” True Monarch Qiongmiao nodded slightly, agreeing to Lu Cheng’an’s suggestion.

Without wasting any time, after True Lord Suigu agreed, he immediately conveyed the message to Lu Cheng'an.

After receiving the message from True Monarch Suigu, Lu Cheng'an gave instructions to Shi Ningyu and then sped off towards the direction of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Lu Cheng'an is not worried about the Lu family's situation, because the Ghost Wood Demon King and Snow Crane Demon King who attacked their Lu family have now been controlled by them.

Because of the change in the situation of the Ancient Desolate Sect, the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains are certainly unable to spare any extra strength to attack the Lu family.

Indeed, this was the case. Following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, the Ghost Tree Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King sent a message to the Butterfly Transformation Demon King, informing him that they had not immediately attacked the Lu family's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an's strength far exceeded their expectations, and they dared not guarantee when they would be able to breach the Lu family's gates.

The Butterfly Demon King didn't criticize the Ghost Wood Demon King too much, only instructing them to continue attacking the Lu family and not to send Lu Cheng'an to support the Ancient Desolate Sect.

After receiving the message from the Butterfly Demon King, the Ghostwood Demon King immediately relayed the news to Lu Cheng'an.

This is also the main reason why Lu Cheng'an dared to leave his family at this time and go to the Desolate Ancient Sect to provide support.

The Lu family and the Desolate Ancient Sect were some distance apart, but Lu Cheng'an had now cultivated the Star Flame Concealment Technique to perfection. After activating the Star Flame Concealment Technique, he arrived at the Desolate Ancient Sect in a short time.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect, including True Monarch Kushi, had been waiting for Lu Cheng'an's arrival. Upon arriving at the Ancient Desolate Sect, Lu Cheng'an did not delay at all. Led by True Monarch Kushi, True Monarch Suigu, and True Monarch Qiongmiao, he headed directly towards Juyuan City, where the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King and his army of demon beasts were located.

Juyuan City was a cultivation city built by the Ancient Desolate Sect. Located 800 li away from the sect, Juyuan City, though smaller than the Ancient Desolate Immortal City, was still a formidable city, consistently guarded by Golden Core cultivators from the sect. However, it was now occupied by the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King and other demonic beasts, and those humans who hadn't managed to evacuate had become food for these creatures.

On the way to Juyuan City with Kushi Zhenjun and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Desolate Ancient Sect, Lu Cheng'an also learned about the situation of the monsters in Juyuan City from Kushi Zhenjun and the others.

Currently, the leaders in Juyuan City are still the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, who is at the peak of the fourth rank, and the Azure Lion Demon King, who is at the late stage of the fourth rank.

Besides these two fourth-tier monsters, there are nearly 300,000 monsters below the fourth tier.

These fourth-tier and lower-ranking demonic beasts were only a minority; the majority were taken away by the Iron Bear Demon King and the Silver Wolf Demon King to attack Golden Core cultivator forces such as the Spirit Gu Sect.

Therefore, the situation is still quite urgent. If Lu Cheng'an and other Nascent Soul cultivators cannot deal with the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King and other demonic beasts in a short time, then the Golden Core cultivation forces such as the Spirit Gu Sect will be in danger of annihilation.

Eight hundred miles is a very short distance for Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Cheng'an; they can reach it in the blink of an eye.

After Lu Cheng'an and his three companions arrived in Juyuan City, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, including Qiongmiao Zhenjun from the Desolate Ancient Sect, did not conceal their cultivation aura.

After sensing the auras of Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Monarch Qiongmiao, the Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King and the Azure Lion Demon King in Juyuan City did not immediately retreat, but instead took the initiative to rush out of Juyuan City.

Roar!
With an angry roar, a fiery red python, hundreds of feet long, flew out from Juyuan City.

The enormous, fiery red python had three huge heads. The moment it flew out of Juyuan City, raging flames erupted from its three heads.

These demonic flames contain potent toxins, posing a danger to even Nascent Soul cultivators who come into contact with them.

After the Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King made his move, the Azure Lion Demon King also revealed his true form, transforming into a giant azure lion tens of feet long, and attacked Qiongmiao Zhenren and the others.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cheng'an and the other three immediately reacted. Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun simultaneously unleashed the Jing Gu Seal to attack the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

"You think you can use the same methods against me? You're seriously underestimating me!"

After sensing the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King let out a sneer and then summoned a bluish-white talisman.

After the talisman was activated, Lu Cheng'an and the three of them immediately felt the power of time from it.

Clearly, this talisman, whose name they did not know, had a high chance of blocking their Jinggu Seal's attack.

For a moment, Sui Gu Zhenjun and Ku Shi Zhenjun showed a look of panic. Their confidence in attacking the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King came from the Jing Gu Seal they had cultivated.

If their Jinggu Seal attack fails to have any effect, then their trip will have been in vain.

The power of that talisman was indeed extremely strong. After the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King unleashed it, it immediately dissipated the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

However, talismans are all consumables, especially the talisman containing the power of time that the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King used, which is a one-time consumable.

The Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King only had this one.

After seeing that his talisman had blocked the strange attacks of Sui Gu Zhenjun and the other two, the Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King let out a loud sneer from all three heads, and his attacks on Qiong Miao Zhenjun became even more ferocious.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun's strength is inferior to that of the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, even though the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King still has injuries that have not yet healed.

However, now, facing the combined attack of the three-headed Fiery Python Demon King and the Azure Lion Demon King, two fourth-tier demon beasts, Qiongmiao Zhenjun has fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Lu Cheng'an's expression remained unchanged. After sensing the power of the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, he once again formed a hand seal and used the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

Lu Cheng'an has cultivated the Jinggu Seal to perfection, making him much faster at using this divine power than Suigu Zhenjun and Kushi Zhenjun.

He was able to unleash this supernatural power in an instant.

However, Lu Cheng'an's strength was far inferior to that of the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, and the Tranquil Ancient Seal he used could only affect the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King for half a moment.

This half-second was enough for True Monarch Qiongmiao. She immediately seized the opportunity, unleashed her divine power that she had cultivated to perfection, and sacrificed the only remaining Thunder Talisman of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun's attack was extremely fast. Just as the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King broke free from the influence of the Jinggu Seal, Qiongmiao Zhenjun's attack had already struck his massive demon body.

With a deafening roar, an extremely violent force exploded on the body of the three-headed fire python demon king.

In an instant, blood cascaded down like a waterfall, then, under the scorching heat, turned into billowing blood mist.

Before the explosive force subsided, True Monarch Qiongmiao attacked the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King again.

Lu Cheng'an did not stop, and continued to use the Quiet Ancient Seal on the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an's actions, Sui Gu Zhenjun and Ku Shi Zhenjun immediately activated the Jing Gu Seal, a divine power.

The poor Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, a powerful fourth-order perfect realm demon beast, lost its chance in a split second and was directly killed by True Monarch Qiongmiao. The demon infant did not escape either.

The three-headed fire python demon king died so quickly that only a few breaths had passed in total.

After the three-headed Fiery Python Demon King died, Lu Cheng'an and the other three turned their attention to the Azure Lion Demon King.

The Azure Lion Demon King's cultivation level was at the late fourth stage, and his strength was far inferior to that of the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

If the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, who was stronger than him, died so quickly at the hands of Lu Cheng'an and his group, then he was even less likely to be a match for them.

Therefore, without any hesitation, the Azure Lion Demon King sped off towards the Hong'e Mountains, his demonic energy surging beneath his feet.

However, his body had only moved a dozen or so feet when the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal cast by Lu Cheng'an descended upon the body of the Azure Lion Demon King.
