Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 5: The Attack (Please read and recommend!)

At the foot of Firelocust Mountain are vast plains where the Lu family's mortal clansmen built houses and cultivated fields.

They have been living here for more than half a year and have gradually adapted.

When Lu Cheng'an came down from Huohuai Mountain, he saw many children playing happily at the entrance of the village. Their clear laughter rang out, and they had completely forgotten their previous panic.

"Lu Yong greets the Immortal Master!"

Lu Cheng'an turned his gaze from the children to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Has everything been normal in the village during this time? Have you encountered any danger?" Lu Chengan asked.

Lu Yong is the captain of the village's patrol team. He is tall and strong. Although he is not a cultivator, he has practiced martial arts techniques in the mortal world, so his strength is not weak.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, everything in the village has been normal for the past month or so. About half a month ago, three red-tailed wolves were wandering outside the village, but we have already killed them together!"

Red-tailed wolves are the most common wild animals in the Fire Locust Mountain area. They are quite fierce by nature, but their fighting ability is not particularly strong.

The ordinary people in Lu Yong's inspection team all possessed martial arts skills and were all quite strong. It was indeed not difficult for them to kill the three red-tailed wolves together.

“Red-tailed wolves are pack animals, and the wolf king may even transform into a demon beast. You need to be careful when you patrol next,” Lu Chengan said.

"Rest assured, Immortal Master, we increased our patrols after killing those three Red-tailed Wolves, but we haven't found any new ones."

At this point, Lu Yong's face turned serious again: "But we discovered that outsiders have appeared near the village!"

Are you sure there are outsiders near the village?

Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Yong with a serious expression. When the Lu family decided to relocate some of their clansmen to live at the foot of Huohuai Mountain, they had investigated the situation around Huohuai Mountain.

There are no humans here; ordinary people could never possibly cross those dangerous areas to get here.

If Lu Yong really discovers that outsiders have come here, they must be cultivators.

“I can’t be sure either, I just have a vague feeling that outsiders are watching us,” Lu Yong said.

For this reason, Lu Yong did not tell Lu Cheng'an the news directly.

"You have the villagers increase their patrols, and I will also come down to check on things frequently over the next period of time."

After giving instructions to Lu Yong, Lu Cheng'an did not linger in the village at the foot of the mountain and quickly returned to his residence on Huohuai Mountain.

This time, Lu Cheng'an did not enter the underground passage to cultivate.

"Since Lu Yong told me this news, he must be quite confident."

"The human who appeared near the village must be a cultivator, but his strength should not be too great, otherwise he would not be so cautious."

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply. He held the communication talisman in his hand and hesitated for a long time before finally deciding not to report the matter to the clan for the time being.

His mission was to guard Huohuai Mountain and protect the ordinary people in the village at the foot of the mountain.

This requires him to take on certain responsibilities and not to seek help from the clan before fully investigating the situation.

"The news of the Fire Essence Mother Fungus has just been sent back to the clan. If the cultivators in the clan are fast enough, they should be able to reach Fire Locust Mountain in no time."

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng'an felt a slight sense of relief.

He then entered his meditation room and began cultivating again. Two days passed in the blink of an eye, the sun setting and the moon rising.

On this day, dark clouds covered the sky above Huohuai Mountain, and a rare heavy rain was about to fall.

After the dark clouds swirled in the sky for a few quarters of an hour, large raindrops began to fall from the clouds, making a series of crackling sounds as they hit the ground.

At this moment, four figures rushed towards Fire Locust Mountain in the heavy rain. All four were cultivators, two of whom were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, two at the early stage of Qi Refining, and the leader was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"The cultivator guarding the Lu family's stronghold is here. He's just a young man in the early Qi Refining stage. We'll suppress him as quickly as possible, interrogate him about the Lu family's strength and weaknesses, rob him of his belongings, kill him, and then leave immediately!"

A thin man spoke in a cold voice. This man was the most powerful among the four, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The moment the man finished speaking, his three companions immediately echoed him.

Fire Locust Mountain wasn't high, and the four of them were fast; in the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Lu Cheng'an's cave.

Lu Cheng'an had been on high alert for the past two days. Although the four people had deliberately concealed their whereabouts, he had already noticed them when they appeared within a dozen feet of the cave.

As the rain poured down, Lu Cheng'an stepped out of the cave, his gaze quickly meeting that of the four people.

Neither of them said much, and almost the instant their eyes met, they attacked at the same time.

Lu Cheng'an was the first to activate the talisman he held in his palm. It was a mid-grade first-level golden talisman, and the power it released was comparable to the full-force attack of a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This talisman was given to Lu Cheng'an by Lu Wenhua when Lu Cheng'an left Chiyan Mountain.

"No, get back!"

The thin man at the fifth level of Qi Refining let out a loud shout, and then he immediately retreated, landing right behind one of his companions.

His companion, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, was struck by the golden light released by the Golden Light Talisman before he could even react.

The golden light, like a sharp sword, easily pierced through the body of the Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator, and then continued to fly towards the thin man at the Qi Refining Level 5 without slowing down.

A fierce glint appeared on the gaunt man's face as he struck out with his palm, a dark yellow aura gathering in his palm.

With a loud roar, the dark yellow palm print collided with the golden light.

A moment later, the dark yellow palm print exploded, and the speed of the golden light slowed slightly before striking the palm of the thin man.

The gaunt man's palm was torn apart by the sharp golden light, but it also exhausted the last bit of power of that golden light.

At the same time, the thin man's two other companions also joined forces and attacked Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an then unleashed another mid-grade first-level talisman to attack the cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while simultaneously using Fire Void Finger to strike the last cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

The power of the second mid-grade first-level talisman that Lu Cheng'an unleashed was much weaker, only equivalent to the attack of a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator.

The Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator who was attacked did not suffer any injuries after spending some effort to block the talisman's attack.

However, Lu Cheng'an's Fire Void Finger, which he had mastered to perfection, was extremely powerful, even surpassing the power of the second first-grade mid-level talisman he had unleashed.

The Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator attacked by the Fire Void Finger was far too weak compared to Lu Cheng'an, and was easily killed by him.
