Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After Lu Cheng'an finished handling Lu Wenhua's funeral arrangements, he instructed Lu Wenxing to send a message to the Haoyang Sect and other sects, informing them that all Nascent Soul cultivators at the Perfected Nascent Soul stage who were willing to leave with him would arrive at the Lu family in five days.

He will then lead these people away from this place to the outside world of cultivation.

The Lu family sent 76 Golden Core cultivators and 23 Nascent Soul cultivators this time, and these are only the Lu family's own cultivators.

In addition, there are the Spirit Clam Clan, the Mineral-Eating Spirit Clan, and some demon clans, who will also leave with the Lu family's cultivators.

If these cultivators are added, the number of Golden Core cultivators will reach one hundred, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators will increase to twenty-seven.

Lu Wenxing had already notified these cultivators, and they were all prepared to leave.

Upon receiving the news from the Lu family, the cultivators, including Master Qinghe, became excited.

In fact, they had already made arrangements and were just waiting for news from Lu Cheng'an so they could leave at any time.

All the Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators from Haoyang Sect, Qinghe, and Taizhou will follow Lu Cheng'an and leave, but Qinghe Sect, Tianze Sect, and Lianhua Sect cannot do so.

The three sects had a relatively large number of cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, and all three sects eventually had cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage remaining.

The Qinghe Sect left behind three cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, while six others left with Lu Cheng'an.

The Tianze Sect left behind two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, while five others left with Lu Cheng'an.

The Lotus Sect left behind five cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, while seven others left with Lu Cheng'an.

The Nascent Soul cultivators left behind by the three sects have basically lost the possibility of breaking through to the Deity Transformation realm. These Nascent Soul cultivators who left with Lu Cheng'an all wanted to try their luck in the outside world to break through to the Deity Transformation realm.

Master Qinghe, True Lord Daoan, and True Lord Youlian had already arranged the affairs of their sects. After receiving the news from the Lu family, they immediately led the Nascent Soul cultivators of their respective sects and left the sects via teleportation arrays.

The teleportation arrays controlled by the three sects had some problems, but now these problems have been fixed and the arrays are even stronger than before.

These were all done by Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping.

When Lu Cheng'an returned to his family, he gave Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an materials containing spatial power to study, enabling them to build teleportation arrays.

The Lu family did not have a teleportation array. In order to better study teleportation arrays, the two went to sects such as Haoyang Sect to conduct on-site research on various aspects of teleportation arrays.

After studying the teleportation arrays of various sects, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping also repaired the damaged teleportation arrays of each sect.

The cultivators, including Master Qinghe, moved extremely fast. They used a teleportation array and arrived outside the Lu family's mountain gate in no time.

After all the cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, including Master Qinghe, arrived, Lu Cheng'an gathered them all together and explained the rules of the Netherworld and the outside cultivation world.

After that, Lu Cheng'an did not waste any more time and directly led Qinghe Shangren and others out of the Lu family's mountain gate, speeding towards the Netherworld River Region.

"You should all know about this Nether River. The passage to the Netherworld is located at the bottom of the Nether River."

"The ghostly energy in the Netherworld River and the Netherworld will invade your physical body. Once you enter, wear the Yin Spring Ghost Token to prevent the invasion of the ghostly energy."

The moment Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, the waters of the Netherworld River surged, and then a black-robed ghost cultivator emerged from the river.

"Hei Yang greets Senior Lu and Senior Shi!"

This ghost cultivator was Hei Yang. He had already received Lu Cheng'an's orders to leave the Netherworld and return to the Nether River to await Lu Cheng'an's arrival.

After all, Lu Cheng'an was going to bring a large number of people from the mortal realm into the Netherworld this time. Before entering the Netherworld, he needed to pay more attention to the situation there to avoid any accidents.

"No need for formalities. What is the situation in the Netherworld now? Have any high-level ghost cultivators appeared on the way to Qingluo City?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

There are no ghost cultivators of the fifth rank or above at the exit of the interdimensional passage below the Netherworld River or in the area of ​​Qingluo City. Lu Cheng'an had never encountered a ghost cultivator of the fifth rank or above in all the times he had entered the Netherworld before.

This time the situation is different, which is why Lu Cheng'an is being so careful.

"Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and the others have searched the area many times, and there are no ghost cultivators of the fifth rank or above!"

Hei Yang smiled faintly and said, "The Green-Faced Ghost King noticed our actions and took the initiative to inquire about what we were doing. He also helped to explore the area of ​​Qingluo City and the entrance to the passage. There will be no danger. Senior Lu can rest assured."

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly; he believed in the Green-Faced Ghost King's abilities.

“You lead the way, we’re entering the Netherworld now!” Lu Cheng’an said.

Master Qinghe and the others swept their gazes over Hei Yang, confirming that Hei Yang was not from the mortal world, but must have come from the underworld.

Such a powerful ghost cultivator, whose strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, actually obeyed Lu Cheng'an's orders.

Moreover, there are cultivators like Yin Zhu and Gui Mu in the Netherworld who are helping Lu Cheng'an. These ghost cultivators must also be comparable to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an has probably already built up a considerable force in the Netherworld.

When Master Qinghe and the others saw Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu follow the ghost cultivator named Hei Yang into the Netherworld River, they immediately suppressed their chaotic thoughts, put on their Yin Spring Ghost Tokens, and followed them into the Netherworld River.

As Lu Cheng'an said, the cultivators, including Master Qinghe, were very knowledgeable about the Netherworld River region.

They were well aware of the damage the ghostly energy emanating from the Netherworld River would cause to their physical bodies, but the Yin Spring Ghost Tablet, of some unknown type, completely blocked the invasion of the ghostly energy into their bodies.

The passage between the two worlds was located at the bottom of the Netherworld River. Hei Yang led Lu Cheng'an and the others through it, and they soon entered the entrance of the passage smoothly.

"I will first enter the Netherworld to wait for you, and then you will enter the passage between the two worlds in order."

Lu Cheng'an investigated the situation of the interdimensional passage. The internal space of the passage was very stable and could support them to pass through smoothly.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang entered the passage between the two worlds and quickly entered the Netherworld.

After Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang left, Qinghe Shangren, Lu Yonghui and others entered the interdimensional passage one by one under Shi Ningyu's arrangement.

After all the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators had entered the interdimensional passage, Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun were the last to enter. The Netherworld was at the exit of the interdimensional passage.

This place has been developed by Hei Yang and others for many years. They have built a city here, and it is no longer the desolate place it once was.

There is also a sealing formation at the exit of the passage between the two realms to prevent ghost cultivators from accidentally entering.

Master Qinghe, Lu Yonghui, and the others did not leave the exit of the interdimensional passage. Only after Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun also came out of the interdimensional passage did Lu Cheng'an lead everyone away.

"Hei Yang, go and summon Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and the others. They will come with us to Qingluo City," Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and others are all real cultivators from the Netherworld. Even if they are unlucky enough to encounter ghost cultivators from other Netherworlds, it is relatively easy for them to resolve the situation by relying on Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and others.

Of course, this was Lu Cheng'an's worst-case scenario plan; they might not encounter ghost cultivators from the Netherworld.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's order, Hei Yang quickly summoned Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and others.

Lu Cheng'an has not yet broken free from his control over these ghost cultivators; he could take their lives with a single thought.

After Hei Yang summoned Yin Zhu, Gui Mu, and the others, Lu Cheng'an reiterated the rules to them and then instructed them to lead the way to Qingluo City.

The exit of the interdimensional passage is very far from Qingluo City. This area is considered a desolate place in the Netherworld, where fifth-order ghost cultivators are rarely seen, and even fourth-order ghost cultivators are rare.

Hei Yang and Yin Zhu were very familiar with this route. They led the way, and Lu Cheng'an led Qinghe Shangren and the others to Qingluo City without encountering any high-level ghost cultivators. They successfully entered Qingluo City.

"I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Green Face now. I need to get my people out of the Netherworld as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng'an said very seriously.

The underworld is not a place for them to stay for long; the longer they stay there, the more likely problems will arise.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, take your people to the Interdimensional Passage now and send your clansmen away!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King did not stop them, because he did not want too many cultivators from the mortal realm to stay in his Green Luo City for too long.

Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King shared the same goal. After reaching a consensus, they did not delay and quickly led Master Qinghe and the others to the location of the passage between the two worlds.

Master Qinghe and the others could tell that the Green-Faced Ghost King was a fifth-level ghost cultivator comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, the ghostly aura in Qingluo City was dense and there were many ghost cultivators. Such an environment made them feel very uncomfortable, so they did not dare to investigate the situation in Qingluo City too much.

They were all extremely happy when they learned that Lu Cheng'an was going to send them away from the Netherworld immediately, because they did not want to stay in the Netherworld for a long time.

After Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor appeared at the entrance of the Two Realms Passage with Qinghe Shangren and others, Lu Cheng'an was the first to enter the Two Realms Passage and enter the Yin Hua Sect.

After Lu Cheng'an emerged from the interdimensional passage, he immediately sent a message to Tianyun Shangren, asking him to come to the exit of the interdimensional passage as soon as possible.

In fact, he had mentioned this matter to Master Tianyun when he left, but he didn't make it very clear at the time.

Even if Master Tianyun had some suspicions, he would not have expected that he would bring so many people out of the interdimensional passage.

Currently, Lu Cheng'an, Shi Ningyu, and Lu Jingkun are all at the Nascent Soul stage. These three Nascent Soul cultivators, along with a large number of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators, can already form a formidable Nascent Soul force.

Even though Master Tianyun didn't know much about Yunzhou, he knew that Yunzhou's strength wasn't particularly formidable.

With Lu Cheng'an's current abilities, he can definitely secure a place in Yunzhou without having to risk entering the Netherworld and then transferring so many people out of it.

Lu Cheng'an summoned Master Tianyun to see how he would react.

Ever since Lu Cheng'an left, Master Tianyun has been pondering what Lu Cheng'an told him before he left.

Upon receiving Lu Cheng'an's message and learning that Lu Cheng'an had returned, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the entrance of the interdimensional passage.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, who are these people?" Venerable Tianyun looked at Lu Chengzhuo, Lu Yonghui, and the others beside Lu Chengan with some surprise.

When Master Tianyun arrived at the exit of the interdimensional passage, Lu Chengzhuo, Lu Yonghui, and the others had already emerged from it.

However, there are only a handful of people out so far.

"Sect Master, these are all my clansmen!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Tianyun Shangren, then turned to Lu Chengzhuo and the others and said, "This is Tianyun Shangren, the sect leader of Yinhua Sect. Why don't you all greet Tianyun Shangren!"

After being reminded by Lu Cheng'an, Lu Chengzhuo and the others immediately bowed and greeted Master Tianyun.

Just as Tianyun Shangren was hesitating about whether to give Lu Chengzhuo and the others a gift, he suddenly felt a fluctuation coming from the interdimensional passage again, and then more people came out of the interdimensional passage.

After casually responding to Lu Chengzhuo and the others, Master Tianyun looked at Lu Chengan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, how many clansmen did you bring this time?"

He sensed that the spatial fluctuations of the passage between the two worlds had not yet ceased, and that Lu Cheng'an's Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu, had not yet appeared, which proved that Lu Cheng'an's clansmen still existed in the Netherworld.

"There are fifty-four Nascent Soul cultivators and one hundred Golden Core cultivators. Apart from my Daoist partner Shi Ningyu, there is also a clansman with the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage!"

Lu Cheng'an observed Tianyun Shangren's reaction and continued, "I now occupy Jinding Mountain, but it is difficult for my Daoist partner and me to truly defend it. Therefore, I am thinking of relocating all my clansmen here to guard Jinding Mountain with me!"

"I see. With Fellow Daoist Lu's current strength, it will be much easier for him to defend Golden Cauldron Mountain!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile after a moment of silence.

He is now certain that Lu Cheng'an's identity is highly questionable and that he is definitely not from Yunzhou as he previously claimed.

He didn't want to dwell on Lu Cheng'an's background right now, because it was of no use to him or the Yin Hua Sect.

If he were to pursue the matter to the end, it would only displease Lu Cheng'an, and that would truly cause losses to their Yin Hua Sect.

After all, they still need to rely on Lu Cheng'an to refine the two magic treasures, the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

Upon hearing Master Tianyun's words, Lu Cheng'an instantly understood Master Tianyun's attitude, which completely relieved his previously anxious heart.

"During my years away, I'm very grateful to Fellow Daoist Xuanxu for helping guard Golden Cauldron Mountain. If Fellow Daoist Xuanxu has any needs regarding weapon crafting, please feel free to come to me. I should be able to craft mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapons now!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.
