Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"How dare you! Hand over the Dao Spirit right now!"

"Fellow Daoists, give it your all! We must not let him obtain the Dao Spirit!"

…………

The moment Lu Cheng'an collected the Wood Dao Spirit, Youhan Yinjun and the other cultivators immediately stopped fighting and attacked Lu Cheng'an at the same time.

Their respective reasons for taking action were to seize the Wood Dao Spirit. Now that the Wood Dao Spirit has fallen into Lu Cheng'an's hands, their first priority is naturally to eliminate Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an looked at Youhan Yinjun and the other cultivators. Despite facing so many powerful attacks, he showed no sign of panic.

He activated the boundary-breaking talisman he had prepared in advance. After the power of the boundary-breaking talisman was released, it instantly enveloped Lu Cheng'an's body.

Before the attacks from Youhan Yinjun and other cultivators could reach Lu Cheng'an, he was carried away from the secret realm by the power of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman.

"Who was that? He actually stole the Dao Spirit right under our noses! I will never let him get away with this!"

"I've got it! The cultivator who stole the Dao Spirit has a close relationship with the cultivator who injured Youhan Yinjun before. They're in cahoots!"

…………

The cultivators, including Youhan Yinjun, began to speculate about Lu Cheng'an's identity and background. Among them, some cultivators realized that Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor had been together before.

Not long ago, the Green-Faced Ghost King made a powerful move and injured the Netherworld Lord, which created an opportunity for Lu Cheng'an to seize the Wood Dao Spirit.

After the cultivators realized the relationship between Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, Youhan Yinjun and other cultivators immediately began searching for the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

However, they were destined to gain nothing, because the Green-Faced Ghost King was very decisive.

The instant Lu Cheng'an activated the Boundary-Breaking Talisman to leave the secret realm, the Green-Faced Ghost King did not hesitate at all. He also activated the Boundary-Breaking Talisman and left the secret realm at the same time as Lu Cheng'an, relying on the power of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman.

The Green-Faced Ghost King and Lu Cheng'an were not well-known, and they had no contact with the other cultivators who entered the secret realm.

Although the cultivators, including Youhan Yinjun, wanted to find the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor and Lu Cheng'an, they found no information about them whatsoever.

At the same time, Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King, relying on the power of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman, had already left the Netherworld and entered the Yang World.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know where this is? I was born in the Netherworld and cannot stay in the mortal world for too long. I beg Fellow Daoist Lu to help me return to the Netherworld as soon as possible!" the Green-Faced Ghost King said in a deep voice.

The environment of the mortal world is extremely harmful to cultivators in the underworld. Even though the Green-Faced Ghost King has reached the fifth-order perfect realm of cultivation, he cannot stay in the mortal world for too long.

Otherwise, even if he hadn't been attacked by cultivators in the mortal world, he would have suffered fatal problems because he couldn't withstand the environment of the mortal world.

The Green-Faced Ghost King only dared to use the Boundary-Breaking Talisman to enter the mortal world because of Lu Cheng'an; otherwise, he would have definitely tried other ways to escape.

Lu Cheng'an quickly checked the surrounding environment and confirmed that this was a place he had never been before.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian, don't worry. I've never been to this place before, and I don't know exactly where this place is."

"I will later ask some cultivators what this place is. Once I have determined the exact location, I will take Fellow Daoist Qingmian back to the Netherworld as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lu!" the Green-Faced Ghost King said gratefully.

Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor are currently in a desolate wilderness where spiritual energy is scarce and there are virtually no cultivators.

After making arrangements with the Green-Faced Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an instructed the Green-Faced Ghost King to stay where he was and wait until he confirmed their current location. Then, he would take the Green-Faced Ghost King to the Yin Hua Sect and send him into the Netherworld.

Lu Cheng'an was very fast; he determined their location in less than a quarter of an hour.

“Fellow Daoist Qingmian, we are currently in Luzhou. This place is not close to Mengyuanzhou, where Yinhua Sect is located. It may take us some time to get to Yinhua Sect!” Lu Chengan said.

Luzhou and Mengyuanzhou are separated by several states, and Luzhou itself is extremely vast in area. This state is governed by a powerful expert at the Integration Realm.

Previously, Lu Cheng'an had asked the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect for help in sending Lu Jingkun to the Yellow Origin Secret Realm of the Brahma Dust Sect in Luzhou for cultivation.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lu to take care of things from now on!" the Green-Faced Ghost King said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry about this Fellow Daoist with Green Face. We will only be delayed on the road for a while, and there will definitely be no problems."

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingmian, I will now take you to Yinhua Sect."

In the mortal world, there are teleportation arrays between most of the major states. If Lu Cheng'an were to use such an inter-state teleportation array, he could quickly travel from Luzhou to Yinhua Sect.

However, since the Green-Faced Ghost King originated from the Netherworld, he naturally cannot use the teleportation array in the mortal realm.

This is not because he would be attacked by cultivators in the mortal world after his identity is exposed, but because the environment of the teleportation array itself would cause great harm to his body.

After Lu Cheng'an left with the Green-Faced Ghost King, he immediately used the Space Folding Divine Power.

As Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Dao of Space deepened, the distances he could traverse using his Space Folding Divine Power also increased.

Although Luzhou and Mengyuanzhou are extremely far apart, Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King did not spend too long to reach Mengyuanzhou.

As Lu Cheng'an had said before, they did not encounter any dangers along the way while traveling with the Green-Faced Ghost King.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has now reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his strength is comparable to that of a cultivator at the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

With such cultivation and strength, he is already among the top cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm. As long as he doesn't actively seek trouble, he generally won't encounter any problems in the Xuan Chen Realm.

“Fellow Daoist Qingmian, this is Mengyuan Prefecture. The Yin Hua Sect is located in Mengyuan Prefecture. I will be able to bring Fellow Daoist Qingmian into the Yin Hua Sect in about two quarters of an hour,” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu for escorting me all the way. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Fellow Daoist Lu for his help earlier, otherwise I would not have been able to seize the Wood Dao Spirit from the cultivators such as Youhan Yinjun!" The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian is too kind. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Qingmian telling me this news, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain the Fire Dao Spirit!"

"I'll take Fellow Daoist Qingmian to the Yin Hua Sect now. Once we arrive, Fellow Daoist Qingmian will be able to return to the Netherworld soon!" Lu Cheng'an said with a soft laugh. Mengyuan Prefecture wasn't particularly large, and Lu Cheng'an used his spatial folding technique to travel quickly, soon bringing the Green-Faced Ghost King to the gates of the Yin Hua Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Qingmian, where did you leave the Netherworld from? Did you discover another passage connecting the two worlds?" Venerable Tianyun asked with a frown.

Before Lu Cheng'an arrived at Yin Hua Sect with the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, he had already sent a message to Tianyun Shangren, informing him that he intended to send the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor from Yin Hua Sect into the Netherworld.

After seizing Qingluo City, the Green-Faced Ghost King established a cooperative relationship with the Yin Hua Sect.

Therefore, the Green-Faced Ghost King and the Heavenly Cloud Venerable were quite familiar with each other. Even without Lu Cheng'an's presence, if the Green-Faced Ghost King wanted to enter the Netherworld through the Yin Hua Sect's interdimensional passage, the Heavenly Cloud Venerable would have agreed.

"We didn't find a new passage between the two realms; instead, we used a boundary-breaking talisman."

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Tianyun Shangren, saying, "This matter is a long story. Fellow Daoist Qingmian cannot stay in the mortal world for too long. Let's send Fellow Daoist Qingmian to the Netherworld first!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu is right. Fellow Daoists, please follow me into the sect!"

A smile appeared on Tianyun Shangren's face. After suppressing his doubts, he immediately led Lu Cheng'an and the other person into Yinhua Sect.

The Green-Faced Ghost King could not stay in the mortal world for too long, mainly because he still had serious injuries.

The environment of the mortal world is very harmful to cultivators in the underworld. Although the Green-Faced Ghost King has been out of the underworld for some time, his injuries have not healed at all, and in fact, they have worsened.

That's why he was so eager to get back to the Netherworld.

Therefore, after entering the Yin Hua Sect, the Green-Faced Ghost King declined the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with Tianyun Shangren, and instead directly said that he wanted to use the Yin Hua Sect's interdimensional passage to enter the Netherworld.

Master Tianyun didn't try to stop him too much. After sending the Green-Faced Ghost King into the Netherworld, he asked Lu Cheng'an what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist Tianyun, do you still remember when I entered the Netherworld some time ago? That was because I received an invitation from Fellow Daoist Qingmian. He discovered a treasure land in the Netherworld, and the treasures nurtured in that land are of great benefit to my cultivation."

"The reason why Fellow Daoist Qingmian and I were able to enter the mortal world through the Boundary-Breaking Talisman was mainly because we encountered deadly danger in that treasure land, and we had no choice but to use the incomparably precious Boundary-Breaking Talisman to escape."

“Fellow Daoist Tianyun should have noticed Fellow Daoist Qingmian’s condition as well. His injuries are still very serious and he has not recovered at all,” Lu Chengan explained.

He did not explain to Master Tianyun in detail how he and the Green-Faced Ghost King obtained the Dao Spirit in the Netherworld, which is an extremely precious treasure.

If he were to obtain Dao Ling's information and spread it, it would surely bring him a great deal of trouble.

“I can sense Fellow Daoist Qingmian’s condition; his injuries are indeed quite severe.”

Master Tianyun sighed softly, his gaze falling on Lu Cheng'an as he asked with great concern, "How are you, Fellow Daoist Lu? Are you injured?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Tianyun. My injuries are not serious. They have fully healed since I returned to the mortal world."

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Fellow Daoist Tianyun with this matter. I've spent quite a bit of time in the Netherworld. My entire Lu family is currently busy with the renovation of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. I need to hurry back to my clan to check on the situation, so I won't stay at your sect any longer!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll see you off!" Venerable Tianyun smiled as he stood up and escorted Lu Cheng'an away from Yin Hua Sect.

"Sect Master, you've helped Fellow Daoist Lu this time, haven't you? Why don't you take this opportunity to ask Fellow Daoist Lu for help in refining the Yin Gathering Pool?" Fellow Daoist Xuanxu asked in confusion.

Yin Hua Sect and Tian Shi Sect obtained a lot of resources from the Corpse Demon Secret Realm, including many materials for refining the three magic treasures such as the Yin Gathering Pool.

Unfortunately, neither of these sects has found a more suitable weapon refiner than Lu Cheng'an to help them refine those materials into magical treasures.

After the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture were wiped out, Lu Cheng'an and the Lu family, whose strength was originally inferior to the two sects, became the most powerful immortal cultivation forces in the three prefectures of Mengyuan Prefecture.

Now, if they want to ask Lu Cheng'an for help in refining magical treasures such as the Yin Gathering Pool, they need to be more cautious and can no longer ask casually.

"You heard what Fellow Daoist Lu said. His Lu family is currently busy with the renovation of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. How could I possibly invite him to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag at this time!"

Master Tianyun sighed softly and said, "There's no rush to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag. There are still some Yin Gathering Pools and Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flags left over from what Fellow Daoist Lu refined before. Let's talk about it after all the remaining Yin Gathering Pools and Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flags have been used up!"

…………

After leaving Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an immediately used his spatial folding technique to quickly return to Jin Ding Mountain.

He did not interfere with the renovation of the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate after returning to Jinding Mountain as Tianyun Shangren had said, because he was not good at this matter and would not be able to help even if he went to the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

After returning to Jinding Mountain, he went directly into Shi Ningyu's cave.

"My husband, you're back!"

When Shi Ningyu saw Lu Cheng'an suddenly appear outside her cave, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"Was your trip to the Netherworld successful? Did you encounter any danger?" Shi Ningyu asked with concern.

Shi Ningyu knew Lu Cheng'an's purpose in entering the Netherworld this time, and she was also very clear about how precious the Dao Spirit was.

Lu Cheng'an's entry into the Netherworld was to compete with the cultivators there for Dao Spirits, and the risks involved were considerable.

Most importantly, Lu Cheng'an is not a cultivator from the Netherworld. If his identity were exposed, he would inevitably face a joint attack from cultivators from the Netherworld in that environment.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng'an entered the Netherworld, Shi Ningyu was constantly worried about Lu Cheng'an's safety.

"Ningyu, don't worry. This trip to the Netherworld went quite smoothly, and I successfully obtained the Fire Dao Spirit!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly, quickly forming a magic seal in his hand, and then released his Dao Domain, allowing Shi Ningyu to see the Fire Dao Spirit and its companion beast within the Dao Domain.

"It really is the Fire Dao Spirit!"

"Husband, you really obtained the Fire Dao Spirit from the Netherworld. How did you do it?" Shi Ningyu looked at Lu Cheng'an with great surprise.

The Fire Dao Spirit and its companion beast were now perched on the branch of the Crimson Wutong Spirit Tree, and Shi Ningyu could clearly sense its presence. (End of Chapter)
