Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"Okay, we can start taking in our surroundings."

Lu Yuan turned on his telepathy, trying to catch any weak abnormal fluctuations.

As time passed, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan concentrated on observing the surrounding scene in the barrier.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt a weak but clear wave.

"There's something!" Lu Yuan shouted excitedly.

Su Liyan also said with excitement: "We are close, please tell me the direction."

Lu Yuan pointed in a direction deep in the mountains and said, "That's it!"

"There should be a hidden ancient cave."

The two quickly traveled through the mountains and forests and arrived at the target location.

The cave is shaded by ancient trees and hidden in the rock wall at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the cave and the two of them walked inside.

The cave is spacious and dark, with glistening glazed lights hanging on the walls, illuminating the entire space brightly and mysteriously.

They discovered that the cave was filled with books and artifacts.

Lu Yuan stepped in and found a huge and old ancient book on the wall.

He carefully brushed away the dust and opened the pages.

"These are records about forbidden power." Lu Yuan said.

Su Liyan leaned over curiously, and while reading the text on the page, she exclaimed: "It's incredible! The secrets of these forbidden powers are actually sealed here."

Lu Yuan carefully read the contents recorded in the ancient books and explored the mystery of lifting the blockade.

As time passes, they delve deeper and deeper into the mysteries of forbidden powers.

After some hard and intense work, they finally gained something.

Lu Yuan suddenly closed the ancient book and looked at Su Liyan firmly.

"I know what to do."

"As long as we act according to this plan, it will be possible to lift the blockade," he said.

Su Liyan smiled slightly and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder encouragingly: "I believe you can succeed."

The two decided to activate the Five Elements Dungeon Technique again, return to the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, and tell their assistants the clues and unlocking plans they found in the cave.

On the way back, Lu Yuan was filled with joy and expectation.

He believed that with the help of Su Liyan, they could successfully solve the mystery of the blockade and restore the balance of the cultivation world.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked through the corridor of the cave and continued deep inside.

They came to the center of a body of water called Ghost Pool and felt the rich spiritual energy.

"This is the ghost pool, it should be the place where forbidden power is hidden." Lu Yuan said.

Su Liyan stared at the rippling light and shadow on the water and warned vigilantly: "Be careful, there may be danger here."

Just when they were on alert, a black shadow suddenly appeared and turned into a powerful demonic energy.

A humanoid monster appears next to the ghost pool.

Xueying showed an evil smile: "So you have really found the forbidden power."

Lu Yuan held the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, preparing to fight the blood shadow, "Do you want to take away these secrets? Dream on!"

"I will destroy you without mercy!"

The blood shadow made a low and hoarse voice.

Su Liyan stared at the deep ghost pool and said in a calm and firm tone: "We will never let you succeed."

The battle began, and the demonic incarnation fought fiercely with Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

The incarnation of Blood Shadow is mysterious and possesses great strength.

The fluctuations of demonic energy he released caused the surrounding space to become distorted and unstable.

Lu Yuan took a step back and quickly used the Tiangang Beidou Formation in the Five Elements Escape Technique. He and Su Liyan worked closely together to maximize the power of the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword.

The two of them gathered the power of the five elements and shone brightly in the formation.

"Dancing with thunder and fire!"

Lu Yuan screamed, and light erupted from the Thunder Fire Sword in his hand.

"Ice Blockade Chain!"

Su Liyan swung the ice crystal whip, and the cold air filled the surroundings.

Thunder flew and ice cones rained down.

The blood shadow incarnation let out a scream after being hit and was forced to take a few steps back.

Xueying frowned, "You two elves are actually so troublesome."

A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips, "We will not be intimidated by you."

He took a deep breath, his mind turned over and over again, and he had a flash of inspiration.

"Tiangang Thunder and Lightning Array!"

Lu Yuan suddenly attacked, the Thunder Fire Sword in his hand dancing vertically and horizontally.

His figure jumped in the formation, and thunder flew around, turning into infinite power.

Xueying was surprised by Lu Yuan's strength, "This kid is so powerful!"

Suddenly, the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword emitted a dazzling light.

In an instant, thunder and fire intertwined to form a huge sword soul phantom, pointing directly at the blood shadow.

The violent impact left Xueying unable to resist, and he was knocked out. He did several handstands in the air before he could barely stabilize his body.

"That's enough!" Xueying roared, "You win."

After casting a hateful and unwilling look at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, he turned into a black mist and disappeared into the ghost pool.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not easy for us to win."

Su Liyan held the ice crystal whip tightly and said with slight trembling: "We successfully protected the ancient books."

On the other side, Zi Xi'er was wearing a simple and elegant dress, sitting in the courtyard of Biluo Palace, playing chess with a member of the Red Lotus Sect.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the breeze blew her long hair, making her look like a fairy against the sunlight.

The Red Lotus cultists wore red robes and had gloomy and cunning eyes.

He looked at Zi Xi'er from a distance, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in the corner of his mouth: "Do you think you can easily get inside information from me? You know nothing about the Red Lotus Sect."

Zi Xi'er smiled and stroked the chess piece in her hand, with a hint of confidence in her eyes: "Maybe I really don't understand the inside of the Red Lotus Sect, but I have a way to get the information."

"Hmph, you are the woman of that weird alchemist Lu Yuan, right?"

"With your strength as a woman, it seems that you cannot threaten us."

The Red Lotus cultist sneered.

Zi Xi'er's eyes flashed slightly, "Maybe I am not enough to deal with you on my own, but Lu Yuan and I have formed an alliance."

"He has endless wisdom and great strength. When we face the Red Lotus Sect together, you will see how terrifying he is."

The Red Lotus cultist curled his lips in disdain, "Lu Yuan?"

"Even a small person like him can fight against our Red Lotus Sect?"

"Don't belittle yourself."

Zi Xi'er sighed softly, and the chess pieces in her hand seemed to dance at her fingertips: "Don't underestimate him."

"Lu Yuan possesses the peerless magical powers of the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword and the Five Elements Dungeon Technique. His existence cannot be ignored by you."

The Red Lotus cultist fell into deep thought for a while, and gradually revealed his hesitation while talking to Zi Xi'er.

Just when Zi Xi'er saw the opportunity, a woman in red hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words to the Red Lotus cultists.

The Red Lotus cultist's face changed slightly, and then he stood up and said goodbye to Zi Xi'er. (End of chapter)
