Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After receiving the Green Wood Nourishing Pill from Lu Cheng'an, Master Qinghe and the others returned to their cave in Jinding Mountain to recuperate from their injuries.

However, Lu Chengan, Shi Ningyu, and Lu Jingkun did not return to Jinding Mountain.

"Jingkun, how are your injuries? Can you hold on?" Lu Chengan asked with concern.

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry, my injuries can be suppressed and won't affect the upcoming plans!" Lu Jingkun replied with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an and his two companions had already devised a battle plan to confront the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture. After they had killed all the Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators from the Demon-Attracting Sect who were invading, Lu Cheng'an would lead Lu Jingkun to the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate and completely annihilate it.

"Ningyu, you stay here at Jinding Mountain. If any more demonic cultivators attack, send me a message immediately. I will be back soon!"

After giving instructions to Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any more time. He led Lu Jingkun and used the space folding technique to quickly head towards the gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

Lu Jingkun's strength is much weaker than Lu Cheng'an's. Although Lu Cheng'an's use of the Space Folding Divine Power to travel with Lu Jingkun will affect the power of the Space Folding Divine Power to some extent, the effect is not particularly significant.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun appeared outside the gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

The Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate is located on Mount Huating. Before Mount Huating was occupied by demonic cultivators, it was also a treasure land for cultivation, with eight fifth-order spiritual veins in the mountain range.

After occupying Mount Huating, the Demon-Attracting Sect transformed all eight fifth-order spiritual veins into demonic veins and then cultivated two new fifth-order demonic veins. Now, Mount Huating has ten fifth-order spiritual veins.

Relying on these ten fifth-order demonic veins, the Demon-Attracting Sect built a fifth-order top-grade demonic array, the Ten Dragons Ringing the Heavens Array, within its mountain gate.

If the Ten Dragons Ringing the Heavens Formation is fully activated, it will be enough to withstand a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Cheng'an had long harbored the intention to take action against the Demon-Attracting Sect, so he had previously inquired about the sect's situation from Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren were quite familiar with the situation of the Demon-Attracting Sect. When Lu Cheng'an inquired about these matters from them, they did not hide anything from him.

"We have killed all the Nascent Soul cultivators who appeared to be members of the Demon-Attracting Sect. However, we are unsure whether there are any Nascent Soul demon cultivators still within the sect's gates!"

Lu Cheng'an looked toward Mount Huating and saw demonic energy surging within the mountain range, with ten black dragons faintly coiled around it.

These ten black dragons are formed from the fifth-grade top-quality Ten Dragons Ringing the Sky Formation. If this formation is fully activated, the power it releases will be extremely terrifying.

“I will attack the Demon-Attracting Sect’s mountain gate. If there are still Nascent Soul demon cultivators inside, they will definitely show themselves. They will also activate the Demon-Attracting Sect’s protective formation. You will investigate the Ten Dragons Ringing the Heaven Formation and do your best to break it!” Lu Cheng’an said in a deep voice.

Not long after Lu Jingkun built the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, he raised his array-building skills to the mid-grade level of the fifth rank.

Later, Lu Cheng'an obtained a large number of classic texts on array formations from the vast desert. These classic texts did not overlap much with the array formation classic texts previously collected by the Lu family.

After studying these classic texts on array formations, Lu Jingkun's skills in array formations improved significantly.

He is now confident that he can upgrade the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation to the middle grade of the fifth rank, but he has not started to upgrade the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation because he lacks the corresponding array materials.

The battle between the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture and the three prefectures of Mengyuan Prefecture has begun again, and it is unknown how long this battle will last.

Before the battle between the demonic cultivators of the three states of Mengyuan and the state of Qianyuan ends, the Lu family will not be able to gather the materials needed to upgrade the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Formation to the middle grade of the fifth rank.

Although the Demon-Summoning Sect's mountain-protecting formation has reached the fifth-tier top-grade level, breaking the formation is much easier than setting it up.

With Lu Jingkun's current array formation skills, breaking through a top-grade fifth-order array wouldn't be difficult if he focused his mind.

It was for this reason that Lu Cheng'an brought Lu Jingkun to the Demon-Attracting Sect instead of bringing the more powerful Shi Ningyu.

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry, I will break through the Demon-Summoning Sect's protective formation as soon as possible!"

The moment Lu Jingkun finished speaking, he quickly cast several spells, and then six array flags appeared around him.

These six array flags are all of the fifth-grade lower level, and are a set of array magic treasures.

The main function of this array magic weapon is to assist Lu Jingkun in constructing and breaking spirit arrays.

Lu Jingkun has just gained the ability to control mid-grade fifth-rank array flags. Next, he plans to ask Lu Chengan for help to upgrade all six of his array flags to mid-grade fifth-rank.

Seeing that Lu Jingkun was ready, Lu Cheng'an no longer concealed his cultivation aura. At the same time, he quickly condensed a magic seal and used the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal to bombard the mountain gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

With a deafening roar, the dazzling Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal slammed into the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective array.

Ten black dragons that had been entrenched at the gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect roared out and formed a ring that encompassed the entire gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

After the power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal was fully unleashed, the ring formed by the ten black dragons trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.

But in an instant, the power of the ten black dragons suddenly increased, and they instantly blocked the bombardment of Lu Cheng'an's Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal.

"As expected, the Demon-Summoning Sect still has Nascent Soul cultivators remaining!"

After sensing the changes in the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective array, Lu Cheng'an quickly determined that there were still Nascent Soul cultivators remaining at the sect's gates.

After confirming that there were still Nascent Soul cultivators remaining at the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an was not too surprised. Without wasting any time, he continued to activate the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal to attack the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective formation.

Even though the Demon-Attracting Sect has Nascent Soul cultivators left behind, their strength isn't that great.

As long as Lu Jingkun breaks through the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective formation, he will not face any obstacles in destroying the sect.

Indeed, this is true; the Nascent Soul cultivators left behind by the Demon-Attracting Sect are not particularly powerful.

He was a demonic cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but his physical body had been destroyed years ago, and now only his primordial spirit remained.

The destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body will have a great impact on their strength. This mid-Nascent Soul demon cultivator from the Demon-Attracting Sect, who only has his primordial spirit left, is now only equivalent to an early-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Inside the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate, a group of Demon-Attracting Sect cultivators were doing their best to maintain the operation of the mountain-protecting array. At the same time, they were constantly urging the mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator to immediately send a message to the sect leader, asking him to return to the mountain gate at once.

They had already sensed the power of the Nascent Soul cultivator outside the mountain gate. If the sect leader didn't return soon, and the protective formation was breached, they would be no match for that Nascent Soul cultivator. The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demon-Summoning Sect was also in a difficult position. He had already sent a message to the sect leader and the others, but had not received any reply.

He had a vague sense of unease, but he was also somewhat unwilling to believe it.

After all, the sect leader took all the elites of the Demon-Attracting Sect with him when he left, and the sect leader was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. What kind of being did he encounter that would put him in danger?

While maintaining the operation of the mountain-protecting formation, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demon-Attracting Sect was trying his best to think of a way to resolve the crisis.

Lu Cheng'an had been using the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal to attack the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate, constantly depleting the power of the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective formation.

The Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal was not the strongest divine power he possessed. The reason he did not go all out against the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective mountain formation was because he could sense the formidable power of the formation.

Even if he unleashed his strongest attack, the chances of breaking through this top-grade fifth-tier formation were extremely slim.

What he needs to do now is to get the cultivators of the Demon-Attracting Sect to continuously activate the mountain-protecting formation so that Lu Jingkun can better comprehend the formation.

Time passed slowly, and after about fifteen minutes, Lu Jingkun, who had been investigating the Demon-Summoning Sect's protective mountain formation, finally made some progress.

He quickly condensed a magic seal, at which point the six array flags floating around him intertwined.

Under Lu Jingkun's control, the six array flags simultaneously released six beams of light that shot towards the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective array.

The power contained in these six beams of light was not particularly strong, but when they landed on the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective formation, they had a great impact on it.

With a loud roar, the protective array of the Demon-Attracting Sect trembled violently. At this moment, cracks appeared all over the body of one of the black dragons, as if it was about to shatter at any moment.

Upon sensing the changes in the protective array within the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate, the cultivators of the Demon-Attracting Sect immediately cried out in alarm.

Even the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was left with only his primordial spirit felt a sense of despair, because he discovered that the one who attacked their Demon-Attracting Sect this time was not a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but also a fifth-order array master.

The reason this fifth-tier array master did not act immediately was because he had been researching ways to break their mountain-protecting array.

It's a pity he wasn't a fifth-tier array master; otherwise, if he had pushed the sect's protective array to its limit, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the attacks of these two Nascent Soul cultivators, and might even have been able to kill them.

Once Lu Jingkun made his move, he didn't stop. He continuously formed hand seals, and the six array flags released streams of light under his command, whistling as they attacked the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective array.

These streams of light weren't particularly powerful, but they were breaking down the array patterns of the Demon-Summoning Sect's protective mountain formation.

An array is also formed by countless array patterns. If too many of the array patterns in an array collapse, it will cause the entire array to collapse.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an did not stop attacking. He did not make any more random moves, and his attacks all landed on the area where Lu Jingkun broke through the array patterns.

The array patterns in this area were already very vulnerable to damage after collapsing. Lu Cheng'an was not weak, and his attack caused even more array patterns to collapse when it landed here.

Half an hour later, accompanied by a loud explosion, the ten black dragons coiled above the Demon-Attracting Sect vanished simultaneously, which also meant that the Demon-Attracting Sect's protective formation had completely collapsed.

After retrieving the six array flags with a pale face, Lu Jingkun flew to Lu Cheng'an's side.

Lu Jingkun's injuries were not minor; they were only temporarily suppressed.

Breaking through the fifth-tier top-grade Ten Dragons Ringing Heaven Formation was not easy for him either, but fortunately he still succeeded.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jingkun. You should rest for a bit. Leave the rest to me!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly at Lu Jingkun and waved his hand to summon the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell.

With a thought, Lu Cheng'an summoned the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell, which instantly appeared above the gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

At this moment, the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell became enormous, with its mouth facing downwards, almost encompassing the entire mountain gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

A moment later, the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell, under Lu Cheng'an's urging, released a loud chime.

The tolling of bells echoed, constantly impacting the cultivators within the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate.

Apart from the Nascent Soul demon cultivator who was now only a primordial spirit, all the cultivators in the Demon-Attracting Sect were below the Nascent Soul realm, and they were simply no match for the bell's tolling.

As a series of shrill screams rang out, the demonic cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

Although the demonic cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages were still desperately resisting, they were facing the attack of Lu Cheng'an, a Nascent Soul cultivator. After only a few breaths, those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators met the same fate as the demonic cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

The primordial spirit of that mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator was also in a bad state. The difference in strength between him and Lu Cheng'an was huge. Although Lu Cheng'an was not attacking him with all his might, he was still having a very difficult time resisting.

Suddenly, a chain appeared behind the primordial spirit of the mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, and the chain instantly surrounded the primordial spirit of the mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

At this moment, a sealing force emanated from the chains, instantly subduing the primordial spirit of the mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

Lu Cheng'an did not directly destroy the primordial spirit of this mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator. Instead, he temporarily suppressed it under the Crimson Wutong Spirit Tree within the Dao Domain, just like the previous Nascent Soul demon cultivators' primordial spirits.

Lu Cheng'an then put away the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell that had been covering the gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect. Under Lu Cheng'an's group attack, all the cultivators inside the Demon-Attracting Sect gate had died!

"Jingkun, let's quickly ransack the Demon-Summoning Sect and then leave immediately!"

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun flew into the mountain gate of the Demon-Attracting Sect. This once powerful demonic sect, which had transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator, was now filled with a strong aura of blood, and there was not a single living cultivator left.

The space inside the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate was quite large, but since both Lu Cheng'an and his companion were Nascent Soul cultivators, their speed in looting was extremely fast.

In a short while, they had already looted two-thirds of the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate.

What puzzled Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun was that they did not find many treasures in the Demon-Attracting Sect's mountain gate, especially the various books collected by the sect.

"Uncle Cheng'an, this isn't normal. The Demon-Attracting Sect is supposed to have a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, so why does its scripture library only contain a few incomplete fifth-tier cultivation techniques?" Lu Jingkun frowned and said. (End of Chapter)
