Immortal Rebellion: Investing in Cause and Effect, Unexpectedly Hijacking Li Muwan's Deal

In the Chu Kingdom, outside the city of Dan, in the desolate mountains.

Li Muwan and Li Qiqing were being besieged by five red-robed cultivators, and were in grave danger.

The burning flame symbol on their sleeves indicated that they were from the Crimson Flame Sect.

The Crimson Flame Sect is located in the Crimson Flame Mountains, which are situated at the border of the Chu and Fen kingdoms. They believe in the twisted and demonic doctrine that "all things are fuel, only I am the flame!"

They have always acted ruthlessly and greedily, leaving nothing behind like a wildfire!

Its greatest skill is plundering the spiritual roots of cultivators and the essence of demonic beasts to nourish its own demonic flames.

Li Muwan's innate wood spirit body is a top-quality "firewood" and medicinal catalyst for the Crimson Flame Sect, which cultivates fire-based evil arts.

Once captured, they will be subjected to soul extraction and marrow refining, facing eternal damnation.

The Crimson Flame Sect has a total of five members.

The leader was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest were at least at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.

Li Muwan and Li Qiqing were at a disadvantage in cultivation levels, one being in the early stage of Core Formation and the other in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. They were outnumbered and ambushed along the way...

At this moment, Li Muwan's natal alchemy furnace had been shattered, and her aura was extremely weak.

Li Qiqing was severely injured, with his left arm and half of his left shoulder charred black. He was barely clinging to life.

"Sister... run!" Li Qiqing roared, swinging his sword to deflect a burst of flames, but he was shaken so badly that he staggered and coughed up blood.

Li Muwan's face was pale, but she stubbornly shook her head.

She clutched the last few life-saving talismans in her hand, her eyes filled with a resolute determination.

The leader of the Crimson Flame Sect raised his longsword, which was engulfed in raging flames, and with the blade carrying a scorching heat wave, he slashed straight at Li Muwan's chest!

"Today I'll take your essence first, then kill that troublesome brat!" he said with a sinister grin.

Li Qiqing's eyes were bloodshot as he used his last bit of spiritual power to lunge in front of Li Muwan, attempting to use his body to block the fatal blow.

Li Muwan cried out in alarm, wanting to help, but it was too late.

Just as the flaming longsword was about to strike, a green shadow appeared out of nowhere in front of the two.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his aura ethereal and invisible.

However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, isolating him from the scorching wind of the blade and the blades that followed.

"Clang!!!"

The leading cultivator of the Crimson Flame Sect felt as if his longsword had struck an impenetrable wall.

The force backfired, and the flames instantly disintegrated.

He himself was also shaken and staggered backward. The hand holding the knife had its tiger's mouth split open, and blood was flowing out uncontrollably.

"Who are you?" The leading cultivator scanned Lu Xuan with his divine sense, but could not fathom his true nature at all, as if the person in front of him was just a phantom.

Although he felt some fear, it was quickly suppressed by his greed and ruthlessness.

"This is a matter for my Crimson Flame Sect. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of here, or we'll kill you too!!"

They lack ability, but they have a big mouth.

Lu Xuan didn't even bother to glance at them, but turned to look at Li Qiqing, who was seriously injured but still wanted to protect his sister with his own body.

Finally, his gaze fell on Li Muwan—her features were delicate and beautiful, her temperament gentle and graceful, and she was surrounded by a faint medicinal fragrance.

Both Li Muwan and Li Qiqing were utterly astonished.

The man in the green robe appeared out of nowhere and saved them.

But they had never seen him.

Even more bizarre,

As Li Muwan gazed at his figure, a sense of familiarity and closeness welled up from the depths of her soul.

It was as if a figure that I couldn't see clearly in my dreams had suddenly appeared before my eyes!

The Crimson Flame Sect cultivators assumed that Lu Xuan's silence was due to fear of the sect's power.

The leader grinned maliciously and said, "Since you're not going to talk, then we'll all die together!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the four Crimson Flame Sect disciples behind him immediately rushed forward with their blades.

For a moment, flames flew wildly, sword energy crisscrossed, and raging flames surged, creating quite a lively scene.

Lu Xuan's eyes remained indifferent as he casually waved his hand.

The gray light slowly flew out and landed on the two Flame Gate cultivators at the front.

Before they could even scream, their bodies crumbled away like weathered rock, eventually turning to ashes.

The other cultivators' pupils constricted sharply, terrified out of their wits, and they turned to flee.

But to their horror, they discovered that they couldn't move at all!

Even though there are no formations restricting them, they just can't move!

"It's over!"

"Please spare me, senior!!"

Then, the gray light still fell on them!

In just a breath

All the disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect, including that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator,

Everything turned into ashes on the ground, which were quickly swept away by the snow and wind.

Li Qiqing stared in shock at the man in the green robe before him, thinking to himself that this man was at least in the late stage of the order completion process.

Li Muwan composed herself, helped Li Qiqing up, and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Thank you for saving me, senior. I am Li Muwan from Luohe Sect, and this is my brother, Li Qiqing."

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!" Li Qiqing also came to his senses and struggled to bow.

Lu Xuan turned around, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before quickly looking away.

"I just did what I could to help when I saw injustice." He didn't want to explain further; he just wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

After saying that, Lu Xuan separated two strands of spiritual energy and entered their bodies: "Your injuries have been temporarily suppressed. Leave this place as soon as possible."

As the gentle spiritual energy flowed into her body, Li Muwan immediately felt her disordered aura calm down considerably.

She quickly gave Li Qiqing and herself healing pills and began to heal.

Li Qiqing also hurriedly circulated his internal energy, and the excruciating pain in his wound immediately lessened, while the charred wound began to slowly heal.

When the two looked up to thank him again, Lu Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Who exactly is this senior?" Li Qiqing murmured to himself, his eyes filled with awe.

Li Muwan did not reply, but stared in the direction where the gray light disappeared, her thoughts churning.

The appearance of this senior was too coincidental; it was by no means as simple as "doing something on a whim."

In particular, that inexplicable sense of closeness and familiarity made her want to explore it further.

Unfortunately, the other party clearly didn't want to reveal too much.

Li Muwan could only help Li Qiqing and quickly leave the place.

……

After rescuing Li Muwan and Li Qiqing, Lu Xuan did not return to Zhao.

Instead, he temporarily built a cave in a valley 300 miles away and meditated there.

It took seven days.

Lu Xuan finally suppressed and stabilized the dark golden tyrannosaurus in his sea of ​​consciousness that had been enraged by the causal shock caused by Li Muwan.

It was currently hovering within the cage constructed by the "Heavenly Mandate Reincarnation Codex," sleeping peacefully.

"Hoo—" Lu Xuan let out a long breath and looked inward at the power that had been temporarily restrained.

Deep within that dark golden primordial radiance, countless tiny black, blood-red, and grayish-white threads were intertwined.

Some of them are the residual karma from the destruction of the Teng family, some are the hatred and resentment in Wang Lin's heart, and some are the sorrow and obsession left behind by the karmic consequences of Li Muwan being severed.

"These impurities, like a bone-deep sore, are mixed into the force of cause and effect."

If they are not removed and purified first...

Forcing refinement is not only inefficient, but it can also backfire, causing these "impurities" to damage one's mind and pollute one's foundation.

Lu Xuan thought to himself,

"Although the 'Net Weaving' realm of the 'Codex of Destiny Reincarnation' can sort out and weave cause and effect, its purification efficiency is still too low for such deeply entangled negative impurities."

It seems that external assistance will be needed to accelerate the peeling and purification process.

But Lu Xuan was completely clueless about what external objects were needed and how to perform the purification process.

"I'm afraid we'll have to go to those major sects to look up their scriptures..."

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but look up towards the south.
