Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"So many years have passed since I returned from the endless void. I wonder if Jiang Li's cultivation has successfully broken through to the Void Refinement Realm?"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. He knew that Jiang Li came from the Xuan Chen Sect and held a very high position in the sect.

However, when he first met Jiang Li, Jiang Li was being chased in the endless void and was in a state of serious injury and near death.

Later, he learned from Jiang Li that Jiang Li's serious injuries were also closely related to the cultivators within the Xuan Chen Sect.

Therefore, although he saved Jiang Li at that time, he did not intend to become close to her.

However, he couldn't swallow his anger at the fact that Zhao Wuji and his son wanted to seize the mountain gate of the Yuanshui Demon Sect, which the Lu family had worked so hard to rebuild.

However, the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect never said that he and the Lu family were both too weak.

Even if Zhao Wuji didn't have any Xuan Chen Sect cultivators behind him, he and the Lu family were no match for Zhao Wuji and his son.

"Let's return to the family first and have Jingkun and the others temporarily withdraw from the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate!"

"Afterwards, I will make another trip to the Endless Void to check on Jiang Li's current situation!"

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Cheng'an left Huodao Lake directly.

Elder Xinyan had other things to do. After telling Lu Cheng'an about Zhao Wuji and his son, he left Huodao Lake directly.

After Lu Cheng'an's cultivation broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his strength improved significantly, and the distance he could travel using the Space Folding Divine Power also increased considerably.

After leaving Fire Lake, he still did not choose to take the teleportation array, but instead used the spatial folding divine power to return directly to Golden Cauldron Mountain.

"Husband, you're back. Did your breakthrough go smoothly this time?" Shi Ningyu's face lit up with joy when she saw Lu Cheng'an.

"My breakthrough went relatively smoothly this time, and my cultivation has now reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage!"

There was no joy on Lu Cheng'an's face. After telling Shi Ningyu about the results of his cultivation over the years, he asked with a serious expression, "Have Jingkun and the others returned from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate yet?"

"They acted immediately after receiving your message, and they have all returned from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate!"

When Shi Ningyu heard Lu Cheng'an mention this matter, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

"Husband, what exactly is going on? Our Lu family finally managed to purify the demonic energy inside the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. Why are we suddenly withdrawing from there?" Shi Ningyu asked with a frown.

When Lu Cheng'an sent the message, he only told Lu Jingkun and the others to hurry up and withdraw from the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, without telling Lu family cultivators Zhao Wuji and his son about it.

"It's fine to withdraw. This is a long story. I've already sent a message to Jingkun and the others, asking them to gather in the council hall. Let's go there now!"

After letting out a soft sigh, Lu Cheng'an led Shi Ningyu toward the Lu family's council hall.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu arrived at the council hall, Lu Jingkun and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family, who had already received the news, were already waiting for Lu Cheng'an's arrival.

Lu Cheng'an's gaze swept over the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family in the council hall, and he saw three newly added Nascent Soul cultivators.

The three are Lu Yonghui, Lu Yongming, and Lu Ruiying.

"Yonghui, Yongming, Ruiying, you are all very good, your cultivation has all broken through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Yongming and the other two with approval. After these three broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Lu family reached eight, not counting Ling Xuan, who came from the Spirit Clam Clan.

In terms of Nascent Soul cultivators alone, the Lu family is now no weaker than any other Nascent Soul power in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture.

"It's all thanks to the family's cultivation; otherwise, we wouldn't have broken through to the Nascent Soul realm so easily!" Lu Yonghui and the other two said very respectfully.

After exchanging a few words with Lu Yonghui and the other two, Lu Cheng'an got straight to the point.

"You should already know why I've summoned you to the council hall. The demonic energy within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate was painstakingly purified by our Lu family. The reason I'm asking you to withdraw from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate at this time is because I was recently informed by cultivators from the Golden Flame Sect..."

Lu Cheng'an made no secrets and told Lu Jingkun and the other Lu family cultivators in detail about Zhao Wuji and his son, while also explaining the attitude of the Golden Flame Sect.

"Those Zhao Wuji and his son are utterly shameless! They just seized the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate like that!"

"Uncle Cheng'an, is there really no other way? Are we forced to give up the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, which we've worked so hard to renovate, to Zhao Wuji and his son?"

…………

Upon hearing what Lu Cheng'an said, Lu Jingkun and the other Lu family cultivators immediately cursed and asked Lu Cheng'an if there was any way to protect the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

The cultivation environment within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate is much better than that of Jin Ding Mountain. If the Lu family were to relocate their mountain gate here, it would greatly benefit the Lu family's future development.

Moreover, the demonic energy within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate was painstakingly purified by the Lu family. Now that they had finally managed to completely purify the dense demonic energy within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate, it was about to be seized by Zhao Wuji and his son. Naturally, Lu Jingkun and the other Lu family cultivators were unwilling to accept this.

"I need to go to the Endless Void to handle this matter. Only after I return can I determine whether I can protect the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and said, "I'm not sure when Zhao Wuji and his son will arrive in Qianyuan Prefecture, but once they arrive, you must not clash with them."

“Zhao Wuji’s cultivation is at the early stage of the Void Refining Realm. We are a whole realm below him. Even if Zhao Wuji and his son did not have cultivators from the Xuanchen Sect behind them, our Lu family would still be no match for them.”

"If we rashly clash with Zhao Wuji and his son, we will gain nothing!"

“We certainly won’t clash with Zhao Wuji and his son, but what if they take the initiative to bully us?” Lu Jingkun asked, frowning.

Lu Jingkun felt that he hadn't thought much about it. Since Zhao Wuji and his son were capable of such a heinous act as seizing the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, it proved that the father and son were definitely not good people.

Furthermore, the Lu family has deep ties with the Yuan Shui Demon Sect. If the father and son arrive in Qian Yuan Prefecture, they might very well ask the Lu family's cultivators to do something.

“Zhao Wuji is a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm. If our Lu family doesn’t provoke them, he probably won’t bother us.”

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly and said, "However, Jingkun, your concerns are not without merit. I will send a message to the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect later to see if we can seek their protection!"

"By the way, what's the situation inside the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate right now?"

"The demonic energy inside the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate has been completely purified. Fortunately, Uncle Cheng'an sent the message in time, and we haven't yet made any major alterations to the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate."

"After receiving Uncle Cheng'an's message to withdraw from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate, we dismantled all the purification magic arrays and other formations, and all the spiritual plants planted there have been moved away." "Now, apart from the original spiritual veins, everything else there has been brought back by us!" Lu Jingkun said with a smile.

These things originally belonged to the Lu family. The fact that Zhao Wuji and his son wanted to seize the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate had already greatly angered them, so naturally they were unwilling to leave what originally belonged to the Lu family to them.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly and said, "Time is of the essence. I will be heading to the Endless Void shortly, and I will try my best to return before Zhao Wuji and his son arrive in Qian Yuan Prefecture."

Lu Cheng'an did not waste any time. After telling the Lu family cultivators about Zhao Wuji and his son in detail, he left Jinding Mountain directly and prepared to go to the Endless Void.

After leaving Jin Ding Mountain, Lu Cheng'an immediately sent a message to Elder Xin Yan.

Besides the hope that the Lu family could receive protection from the Golden Flame Sect if they were bullied by Zhao Wuji and his son, this message also had a very important purpose: to inquire about which cultivators from the He Xuanchen Sect were most closely involved with Zhao Wuji and his son.

Jiang Li's status in the Xuan Chen Sect is indeed not low, but if the Xuan Chen Sect cultivators that Zhao Wuji and his son are on good terms with have a higher status than Jiang Li, then it seems that looking for Jiang Li would not be of much use.

"Elder Xinyan replied to me so quickly!"

Lu Cheng'an had just sent the message when he received a reply from Elder Xin Yan.

He quickly read through Elder Xinyan's message.

"The highest-ranking cultivator in the Xuan Chen Sect whom Zhao Wuji and his son are on good terms with is Ban Tao. Ban Tao's cultivation is at the peak of the Refining Void Realm, and he has a certain hope of breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm!"

"The Xuan Chen Sect female cultivator who is preparing to become Zhao Tianlin's Daoist partner is Ban Tao's daughter, Ban Yao. Her cultivation is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and her master is a Dao Integration Realm expert from the Xuan Chen Sect!"

Even if Lu Cheng'an didn't say anything, the Golden Flame Sect was still trying to find out about Zhao Wuji and his son.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Golden Flame Sect; all three Nascent Soul cultivators within Lizhou were inquiring about news concerning Zhao Wuji and his son.

Because Zhao Wuji and his son would be staying in Qianyuan Prefecture, which is relatively close to Li Prefecture.

Zhao Wuji's cultivation level was at the Refinement of Void Realm. As a Refinement of Void Realm power, the Golden Flame Sect and other forces naturally wanted to find out about this newcomer.

The Golden Flame Sect also expressed its deepest apologies to the Lu family for Zhao Wuji's seizure of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Therefore, after Elder Xinyan conveyed Lu Cheng'an's request to the Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect, the Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect permitted Elder Xinyan to tell Lu Cheng'an this information.

Upon seeing these messages, Lu Cheng'an felt a sense of despair.

Ban Tao's cultivation has reached the peak of the Refining Void Realm, while Ban Yao has a master who is at the Harmony Realm.

Jiang Li's master is also at the Dao Integration Realm. Before Jiang Li's cultivation breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm, her status in the Xuan Chen Sect is probably not much different from Ban Yao's.

"I'm afraid even if I find Jiang Li, she probably won't be able to help me much!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly, but he did not stop heading towards the endless void.

Regardless of whether Jiang Li can be of any help, he still wants to find Jiang Li and give it a try.

After calming himself down, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Elder Xin Yan to express his gratitude.

In addition to telling Lu Cheng'an this information, Elder Xin Yan also subtly expressed the attitude of the Golden Flame Sect.

If the Lu family is truly humiliated by Zhao Wuji and his son, the Golden Flame Sect hopes that the Lu family cultivators will be as patient as possible, as the Golden Flame Sect cannot offer any assistance.

If Zhao Wuji and his son only had dealings with the Refining Void Realm cultivators of the Xuanchen Sect, that would be one thing. But now they have learned that Zhao Wuji and his son also have intricate connections with the Harmony Realm cultivators of the Xuanchen Sect.

The cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm can be considered the most elite group of cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm, because the number of cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm is extremely small.

Moreover, cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm rarely go out or make moves; their minds are mostly focused on their own cultivation.

The Xuanchen Sect is one of the four super powers in the Xuanchen Realm, so the status of the cultivators in the Dao Integration Realm of the Xuanchen Sect can be imagined.

The Golden Flame Sect has no cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm. Even if the Golden Flame Sect had cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, they would not dare to provoke the Dao Integration Realm cultivators of the Profound Dust Sect.

Even the Golden Flame Sect itself dared not offend Zhao Wuji and his son, so naturally they were unwilling to stand up for the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an could understand the decision made by the Golden Flame Sect, because if he were in the Golden Flame Sect, he would have made the same decision.

Lu Cheng'an moved very quickly; he entered the outer city of the boundary passage in eight days.

This was not Lu Cheng'an's first time entering Li City; he was quite familiar with it.

Shortly after entering the city, he went directly into the endless void through the boundary passage.

"Let's go to that waterway secret realm now. I wonder if Jiang Li is still in that waterway secret realm after all these years?"

That waterway secret realm is still a long way from the boundary passage, and there are many dangers in between.

Lu Cheng'an's spatial folding technique is also very useful in the endless void. He can use the spatial folding technique to travel at a very fast speed and avoid many dangers.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an appeared outside the secret waterway.

"This waterway secret realm is still there, so Jiang Li shouldn't have left yet!"

After entering Black Ruins Lake, Lu Cheng'an immediately dived into the lake, sensing that the secret waterway was still below Black Ruins Lake.

Lu Cheng'an carefully explored the area outside the waterway's secret realm and sensed that a barrier had been set up around it.

The barrier was quite powerful, but it wouldn't be too difficult for him to enter this waterway secret realm.

Because he has now cultivated the secret technique of Void Without Trace to perfection, he can easily enter this waterway secret realm through this secret technique.

"First, send a message to Jiang Li to confirm whether he is still in the secret realm."

Lu Cheng'an took out the communication talisman and quickly sent a message to Jiang Li.

After sending the message, Lu Cheng'an did not receive a reply from Jiang Li. However, he sensed a surge of power emanating from the waterway secret realm ahead. Shortly after that surge, Jiang Li emerged from the waterway secret realm. (End of Chapter)
