Chapter 218 Using the Power of the Stars to Aid Me

He brandished his golden-winged umbrella and charged toward the Blood Spirit Cult leader, attempting to rescue Liu Sijun.

"Master, no!"

Liu Sijun shouted.

The leader of the Blood Spirit Sect saw Alchemist Lu rushing towards him and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He unleashed a crimson light, which Lu Danshi couldn't dodge in time. He was struck in the chest and sent flying backward.

"Master!"

Liu Sijun felt a pang of pain in his heart, and anger surged up instantly.

She mobilized all the power within her body, and the Taixu Mirror shone brightly. The star map in the mirror spun wildly, and an incomparably powerful beam of starlight shot out, heading towards the Blood Spirit Sect Leader.

The leader of the Blood Spirit Cult did not expect Liu Sijun to be able to unleash such powerful strength. He was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the starlight beam.

He let out a scream as his body was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Just then, Gu Changzhou and the others successfully repelled the demons and rushed to support Liu Sijun.

The leader of the Blood Spirit Sect looked at everyone, his eyes filled with resentment: "Liu Sijun, Gu Changzhou, don't be so smug. My Blood Spirit Sect will not let this go!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect began to retreat frantically.

The crowd watched the direction the Blood Spirit Sect had left, remaining vigilant. They knew the Blood Spirit Sect would definitely make a comeback.

After the battle, Liu Sijun rushed to Lu Danshi's side and helped him up.

"Master, how are you?"

She asked anxiously. Master Lu forced a smile: "I'm fine, just a little injured. I'll be alright after a rest. I'm glad you're alright."

With tears in her eyes and a heart full of guilt, Liu Sijun said, "Master, it's all my fault. If you hadn't been helping me, you wouldn't have been injured."

Master Lu shook his head: "Silly girl, you are my disciple, it is only right for a master to protect his disciple."

Gu Changzhou also came over. He looked at Liu Sijun and Alchemist Lu and said, "Miss Liu, Alchemist Lu, everyone has worked hard this time. But although the Blood Spirit Sect has temporarily retreated, we cannot let our guard down."

Liu Sijun nodded, his eyes resolute: "You're right. Moreover, I need to master the power of the 'Blazing Sun Wheel' as soon as possible. Only in this way can we gain the upper hand in the next battle."

Gu Changzhou nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of worry, yet also full of determination: "Jun'er, mastering the power of the 'Flaming Sun Wheel' is no easy task, and we must not rush it. We will do our best to assist you. In the meantime, we will also strengthen the defenses of Laiyang County to prevent the Blood Spirit Cult from launching another surprise attack."

Liu Sijun glanced at Gu Changzhou gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

She knew all too well how fortunate she was to have such a reliable partner to fight alongside her in this perilous world of cultivation.

Afterwards, everyone carried Master Lu back to the Liu residence and took good care of him.

Liu Sijun stood by Lu Danshi's bedside, looking at his master's pale face, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must become strong as soon as possible, so that no one around him would be hurt because of him.

In the days that followed, Liu Sijun began arduous training, attempting to master the power of the "Flaming Sun Wheel".

Every day, she would sit cross-legged on the top floor of the Chu family's Star Pavilion, place the "Flaming Sun Wheel" in front of her, and carefully communicate with the fire attribute power of the "Flaming Sun Wheel" by mobilizing the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul.

However, the power of the "Flaming Sun Wheel" was extremely strong and violent. Every time Liu Sijun tried to gain deeper control over it, she would be bounced back by its powerful force, causing her meridians to ache terribly.

But she didn't give up, trying again and again, constantly adjusting the way she output and communicated her spiritual energy. Seeing her sister working so hard, Li Qing felt very sorry for her.

He would bring Liu Sijun carefully prepared spiritual food every day, hoping to help her restore her spiritual power.

At the same time, under the guidance of Master Lu Dan, he worked even harder to cultivate and enhance the power of his mutated fire spirit root, hoping to share more of the burden with his sister in the next battle.

Gu Changzhou then led the Molin Army and various forces in Laiyang County to further strengthen their defenses.

They deployed more defensive formations around Laiyang County, strengthened patrols and vigilance, and maintained close contact with other sects, ready to deal with another attack from the Blood Spirit Sect at any time.

As the days went by, Liu Sijun's efforts finally began to bear some fruit.

She gradually felt the power of the "Sun Wheel" becoming more docile, no longer resisting as strongly as it had at the beginning. Overjoyed, she increased her spiritual energy input, attempting to gain deeper control.

Just then, a powerful evil aura suddenly came from afar, startling Liu Sijun, who opened her eyes.

She knew that the Blood Spirit Cult had returned.

She quickly put away the "Blazing Sun Wheel" and ran towards the city wall.

Gu Changzhou was already standing on the city wall, looking solemnly in the direction of the Blood Spirit Sect.

The Blood Spirit Cult's army was even larger this time, exuding a nauseating stench of blood, like demons from hell unleashed. "Jun'er, the Blood Spirit Cult's intentions are not good this time; we must be careful."

Gu Changzhou said.

Liu Sijun nodded, her eyes resolute: "I am no longer the person I was before. This time, I will not let the Blood Spirit Sect succeed."

The leader of the Blood Spirit Sect stood at the front of the army, looking at Liu Sijun and Gu Changzhou on the city wall, a sinister smile on his face: "Liu Sijun, Gu Changzhou, today I want to see what other abilities you have that can stop my Blood Spirit Sect!"

With that, he waved his hand, and the disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect surged toward the city wall like a black tide.

At the same time, streaks of black lightning suddenly appeared in the sky and struck down towards the city wall.

Liu Sijun quickly mobilized the power of the Taixu Mirror, and beams of starlight shot out from the mirror in an attempt to block the attack of the black lightning.

Gu Changzhou also brandished the Xuan Tie sword, unleashing a surge of starlight and thunderous power that repelled the approaching Blood Spirit Sect disciples.

However, the Blood Spirit Cult's attack this time was more ferocious than ever before, and the defenses on the city walls began to show damage in many places under the impact of the black lightning and the Blood Spirit Cult disciples.

Liu Sijun was extremely anxious as he watched the defensive formations on the city wall continue to crumble.

She knew that she had to break free from the shackles of the "Blazing Sun Wheel" at this moment, otherwise Laiyang County would be doomed.

Taking a deep breath, she poured all the remaining spiritual power in her body into the Taixu Mirror. Suddenly, the star trails in the mirror resonated with the "Yanyang Wheel," and the two illusory wheels overlapped in the air.

"Changzhou!" Liu Sijun shouted, "Use your star power to help me!"

Gu Changzhou instantly understood, and the Xuan Tie Sword pointed straight at the sky, with the power of nine stars pouring into the Tai Xu Mirror like a cascading Milky Way.

Liu Sijun's nascent soul suddenly appeared, with star and fire patterns intertwined on its body surface. The "Flaming Sun Wheel" floated above the nascent soul's head and finally began to slowly rotate.

With a clear whistle, Liu Sijun unleashed a blinding golden light from both the Primordial Nascent Soul and the Blazing Sun Wheel.

A huge star trail vortex suddenly appeared above the city wall. All the black lightning was purified into pure fire elemental power the moment it touched the vortex, and then fed back into Liu Sijun's body.
