Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Jiang Li is so powerful! How long has it been, and he's already taken care of Zhao Wuji and his son!"

Lu Cheng'an had just arrived at Jinding Mountain when he received a message from Jiang Li.

After Jiang Li killed Zhao Wuji and his son and completely suppressed and sealed Ban Yao in the waterway secret realm, she sent a message to Lu Cheng'an with this information.

Afterwards, Jiang Li did not linger at the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. He was going to Li City at the boundary passage of Li Prefecture to wait for his master to arrive.

Jiang Li instructed Lu Cheng'an not to spread the news about them, and that she would find another opportunity to meet Lu Cheng'an after she resolved her own hidden dangers.

Lu Cheng'an did not reply to Jiang Li's message again, and directly destroyed the magical artifact used to communicate with Jiang Li, which was also Jiang Li's instruction.

After all, the one who attacked Jiang Li before was Qiu Shui Daojun, a late-stage Dao Integration Realm cultivator from the Xuan Chen Sect. A cultivator of that level is definitely not someone Lu Cheng'an can afford to offend right now.

"Zhao Wuji and his son have been killed by Jiang Li, and the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate is now ownerless again!"

"This news should spread quickly, but for the time being, our Lu family still cannot go to the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate."

"Given the Lu family's status in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture and its relationship with the Golden Flame Sect, even if we do nothing now, the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate will still fall into our Lu family's hands!"

After thinking it over carefully, a smile slowly appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an appeared in the council hall of Jin Ding Mountain, and Lu Jingkun and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family were also summoned.

"After I left, did the clan suffer any difficulties at the hands of Zhao Wuji and his son?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

"After arriving in Qianyuan Prefecture, Zhao Wuji and his son entered the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, and they did not show up again after that. We did not encounter any difficulties from them!"

After explaining, Shi Ningyu asked with some concern, "Husband, was your journey through the endless void successful? Are we able to drive Zhao Wuji and his son out of Qianyuan Prefecture?"

"This trip through the Endless Void went fairly smoothly!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and said, "As for driving Zhao Wuji and his son out of Qianyuan Prefecture, you'll find out in a while!"

Lu Cheng'an did not tell the Lu family that Zhao Wuji and his son had been killed by Jiang Li. Although the Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan were all trustworthy, news about Jiang Li could not be leaked for the time being to avoid any unexpected situations.

Knowing that no problems had occurred in the clan during his absence, Lu Cheng'an felt completely relieved.

He didn't linger in the council hall after that and quickly returned to his cave.

Although Lu Jingkun and the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family were quite puzzled, Lu Cheng'an did not provide them with detailed explanations, and they dared not ask too many questions.

The news that Zhao Wuji and his son had been killed by Jiang Li did not leak out so quickly.

Because Ban Yao moved into the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate with Zhao Wuji and his son, and Ban Yao was a cultivator from the Xuan Chen Sect, and also a disciple of Qiu Shui Dao Jun, a Dao Integration Realm cultivator from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect, her identity was rather sensitive.

Therefore, after they entered the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate, neither the cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture nor the cultivators from the Jin Yan Sect and other Void Refinement Realm forces in Li Prefecture tried to spy on Zhao Wuji and his companions.

However, as time went by, news of the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son slowly spread.

After receiving news of the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son, the Golden Flame Sect immediately instructed Elder Xinyan to send a message to Lu Cheng'an to inquire about the situation and see if Lu Cheng'an knew the cause of Zhao Wuji and his son's deaths.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have just left the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. Zhao Wuji and his son are dead, and Ban Yao, who came with them, has also disappeared. Do you know the reason for this?" Elder Xin Yan asked in a deep voice.

Elder Xinyan personally went to Jinding Mountain to inquire. It turned out that Elder Xinyan was not the only one from Jinyan Sect who went to Qianyuan Prefecture. Li Zhuyun, who was in the mid-stage of the Refinement Void Realm, was also there.

Not only did the Golden Flame Sect send cultivators at the Refinement Realm to investigate, but the Spirit Void Sect and the Jade Hill Hu Clan also sent cultivators at the Refinement Realm to investigate the situation.

This is because Qianyuan Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Li Prefecture. The deceased Zhao Wuji was a cultivator at the Refining Void Realm, and the matter also involved disciples of the Xuanchen Sect at the Harmony Realm. Naturally, this matter attracted the attention of Refining Void forces such as the Golden Flame Sect.

After killing Zhao Wuji and his son and preventing Ban Yao from leaving, Jiang Li erased all traces of herself.

However, after arriving at the gate of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect, Li Zhuyun and other cultivators at the Refinement Realm still managed to find some clues and confirm that Zhao Wuji and his son were dead.

Elder Xinyan has personally come to the Lu family to inquire about the situation from Lu Cheng'an because the Golden Flame Sect suspects that Lu Cheng'an is involved in this matter.

After all, it was Zhao Wuji and his son who seized the mountain gate of the Yuanshui Demon Sect, which the Lu family had worked so hard to renovate, thus creating enmity between them and the Lu family.

Just before Zhao Wuji and his son were about to arrive in Qianyuan Prefecture, Lu Cheng'an disappeared for a period of time, which made Jin Yanzong suspect that Lu Cheng'an might have done something behind the scenes.

"Zhao Wuji and his son are dead?"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Elder Xin Yan with a face full of astonishment and exclaimed, "Zhao Wuji is a cultivator at the Refinement of Void Realm, and his son Zhao Tianlin is also at the Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. The one who could kill them must at least be a cultivator at the Refinement of Void Realm!"

"Who is Ban Yao? I've never heard of her before?"

Lu Cheng'an looked puzzled. He looked at Elder Xinyan and frowned, saying, "What does Elder Xinyan mean by this? Does he suspect that the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son are related to me? Elder Xinyan thinks too highly of me. How could I have such an ability!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please don't overthink it. I'm just asking as usual!"

Elder Xinyan gave a wry smile and said, "This matter involves the Xuanchen Sect, so we have no choice but to take it seriously. If we have offended anyone, please forgive us, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

After seeing Lu Cheng'an's reaction, Elder Xinyan dispelled his doubts, even though he had never suspected Lu Cheng'an.

The cultivator in the Golden Flame Sect who knew Lu Cheng'an best was Elder Xin Yan, who had watched Lu Cheng'an's cultivation progress from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the perfect Nascent Soul Realm.

During this time, Elder Xinyan also gained some understanding of Lu Cheng'an's situation, so he believed that Lu Cheng'an simply did not have the ability to kill Zhao Wuji and his son.

As Lu Cheng'an said, Zhao Wuji's cultivation level was at the Refining Void Realm, so Lu Cheng'an could not possibly have the ability to kill Zhao Wuji.

As for Lu Cheng'an inviting cultivators at the Refinement Realm to attack Zhao Wuji, Elder Xin Yan probably didn't even consider that.

Although Zhao Wuji's cultivation was at the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, he had guarded the town in the Endless Void for many years, and his strength was not weak among cultivators at the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm. The fact that the unknown cultivator could kill Zhao Wuji so easily proves that the unknown cultivator's strength was far greater than Zhao Wuji's.

Lu Cheng'an probably wouldn't have the opportunity to befriend a cultivator of that strength.

"So that's how it is. This matter actually involves the Xuan Chen Sect!"

Lu Cheng'an exclaimed in surprise, then looked directly at Elder Xin Yan and asked, "Now that Zhao Wuji and his son have been killed, the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate has become ownerless again. The demonic energy there was completely purified by our Lu family cultivators after many years of hard work. Can our Lu family still take over the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to worry. The Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate will naturally still belong to your Lu family."

Elder Xinyan smiled slightly and said, "However, Zhao Wuji and his son have only recently died, and this matter is not yet settled. Fellow Daoist Lu, please do not be in a hurry. It will not be too late for the Lu family to move to the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate after this matter has been completely resolved."

"I still have some things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Elder Xinyan came to the Lu family to inquire about the death of Zhao Wuji and his son from Lu Cheng'an. After talking with Lu Cheng'an, he felt that the matter had little to do with Lu Cheng'an.

Now that his inquiry is over, he still needs to report back to the sect's Supreme Elder, so he cannot stay at the Lu family for too long.

After briefly trying to persuade Elder Xinyan to stay a few more times, Lu Cheng'an saw Elder Xinyan off from Jinding Mountain.

"Now the Golden Flame Sect should no longer suspect that the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son are related to me!"

Lu Cheng'an watched Elder Xin Yan's departing figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His relationship with Jiang Li was unknown to outsiders, so they could not possibly connect him with Jiang Li of the Xuanchen Sect.

After Elder Xinyan left Jinding Mountain and returned to the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, he met Li Zhuyun and truthfully reported Lu Cheng'an's answer to her.

Li Zhuyun remained suspicious of Lu Cheng'an because it was rather strange that Lu Cheng'an went to the Endless Void around the time when Zhao Wuji and his son were about to arrive in Qianyuan Prefecture.

Of course, this was just Li Zhuyun's own conjecture; he had no concrete evidence to prove that this matter was related to Lu Cheng'an.

Moreover, the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son, and the disappearance of Ban Yao, had little to do with their Golden Flame Sect. Their current investigation into the cause of Zhao Wuji and his son's deaths was mainly to prepare for possible inquiries from the Xuan Chen Sect.

The Lingxu Sect and the Yuqiu Hu Clan didn't know much about Lu Cheng'an, and they never even considered that this matter was related to Lu Cheng'an.

After receiving Elder Xin Yan's reply, Li Zhuyun did not tell the Lingxu Sect and the Refinement Realm cultivators of the Yuqiu Hu Clan about this matter.

If the Xuanchen Sect insists that they investigate the cause of Zhao Wuji and his son's deaths, Li Zhuyun will personally intervene to determine whether Lu Cheng'an is involved.

If the Xuanchen Sect does not pursue the matter further, Li Zhuyun will not go to Lu Cheng'an again.

The reason why Li Zhuyun, a mid-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator from the Golden Flame Sect, values ​​Lu Cheng'an so highly is mainly because Lu Cheng'an has shown high cultivation talent and has a good chance of reaching the Perfect Void Refinement Realm in the future.

Lu Cheng'an and the Golden Flame Sect have always had a good relationship. With the future conflicts in the Xuan Chen Realm, it is definitely not a bad thing for the Golden Flame Sect to have a powerful ally like Lu Cheng'an.

After Elder Xinyan left Jinding Mountain, Lu Cheng'an told the Lu family cultivators about the news Elder Xinyan brought.

When Lu Jingkun and the others learned of the deaths of Zhao Wuji and his son, and that there was a high chance that the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate would return to the Lu family, they were very excited. At the same time, they began to prepare for various matters related to the relocation of the mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an did not interfere much in this matter. After telling Lu Jingkun and other Lu family cultivators about it, he returned to his cave and began to examine the information about the Fire Dao Spirit that Jiang Li had given him.

"The fire Dao spirit that Jiang Li controls is located in the Starfall Mountain in the endless void. The Starfall Mountain is tens of millions of miles away from the boundary passage of Lizhou. It is not an easy way to get to the Starfall Mountain!"

After reading the introduction about Starfall Mountain, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face.

Starfall Mountain is extremely vast and is home to a large number of fire-attribute ancient void beasts.

Fire-attribute Void Beasts are fierce and love to fight; they are also incredibly powerful.

The environment of Starfall Mountain is ideal for nurturing fire-attribute Dao spirits, and more than one cultivator from the Xuan Chen Realm has obtained a fire-attribute Dao spirit from Starfall Mountain.

However, Starfall Mountain and the boundary passage to Lizhou are too far apart. Although Lu Cheng'an has entered the Endless Void several times, he has only been active around the boundary passage to Lizhou and has not gone deep into the Endless Void.

If he were to travel to Starfall Mountain, which is tens of millions of miles away from the border passage of the state, he himself was not sure if he could arrive safely.

"Although the fire spirit I obtained in the Netherworld has deepened my understanding of the Great Dao of Fire, this spirit originating from the Netherworld has also brought me some hidden dangers!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply, but this potential threat had little impact on him at the moment.

He was just worried that this hidden danger would erupt when he broke through to the Void Refinement Realm. If it delayed his breakthrough, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Lu Cheng'an's solution to this hidden danger was to find another Fire Dao Spirit in the mortal world and use its power to neutralize the power of the Fire Dao Spirit in the underworld. In that case, the hidden danger on his body would be resolved smoothly.

"My cultivation has only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it's still a long way from breaking through to the Void Refinement stage. There's no rush to go to the Endless Void Starfall Mountain. Let's wait until we move our family's mountain gate to the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate before making any plans!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and put away the jade slip containing information about Starfall Mountain.

Then Lu Cheng'an took out a jade slip from his storage ring. This jade slip contained information about the growing place of the Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood.

Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood is the spiritual wood needed to cultivate the divine power Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique. This divine power is much more powerful than the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique that Lu Cheng'an cultivated before.

Jiang Li originally planned to personally lead Lu Cheng'an to collect the Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood after breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.

However, the situation has changed. Jiang Li's cultivation has just broken through to the Refinement Realm when she encountered Lu Cheng'an's request for help.

Then she encountered Jiang Li's enemies, Zhao Wuji and his son, along with Ban Yao, forcing Jiang Li to separate from Lu Cheng'an. Naturally, she could no longer take Lu Cheng'an to the Endless Void to collect the Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood. (End of Chapter)
