Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The reason why the three families of Yanluo Palace did not attack Qingluo City when the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor was severely injured was because they could not reach a consensus.

Among the three families of Yanluo Palace, Zijing Valley, and Luofeng City, Yanluo Palace is the most powerful, with two cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm.

The Crimson Smoke Witch, whom the Green-Faced Ghost King had severely injured at the cost of his own life, was one of the two cultivators from the Smoke Palace who had reached the fifth-order perfect realm.

At that time, the Green-Faced Ghost King threatened that if Yanluo City attacked Qingluo City again, he would take two cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm of Yanluo Palace down with him, even at the cost of his own life.

The two cultivators from Yanluo Palace who were at the fifth-order perfect realm had already witnessed the strength of the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor. If the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor really disregarded everything, even if he couldn't take both of them with him to their deaths, he could still take one of them with him.

The relationship between Yanluo Palace, Zijing Valley, and Luofeng City is not particularly close. The reason they united was because of Qingluo City.

Now that the Crimson Smoke Witch has suffered heavy losses, and the Green-Faced Ghost King has made such harsh remarks, the Smoke Palace is naturally unwilling to launch another attack on Green Luo City.

If both cultivators from Yanluo Palace who were at the peak of the fifth rank were seriously injured, who knows what kind of thoughts the Zijin Palace and Luofeng City would have?

If Yanluo Palace is to attack Qingluo City again, it will have to wait until the wounds on the Crimson Smoke Witch have healed.

The Red Smoke Witch's injuries were slightly less severe than those of the Green-Faced Ghost King, but her skills were inferior, and her recovery speed was somewhat slower.

Time passed slowly, and more than a year went by in the blink of an eye.

After more than a year of recuperation, the Blue-Faced Ghost King's injuries have basically recovered.

During this period, although the three families of Yanluo Palace did not launch a full-scale attack on Qingluo City, they continued to launch small-scale attacks.

Although this small-scale attack did not affect the recovery of the Green-Faced Ghost King, it made the cultivators such as Ku Yin in Qingluo City feel extremely tired.

Before Lu Cheng'an entered Qingluo City, the cultivators in Qingluo City, including Ku Yin, were already somewhat desperate.

However, Lu Cheng'an's entry into Qingluo City rekindled the hopes of cultivators like Ku Yin.

Even though they had gone through countless battles over the past year and were physically and mentally exhausted, the hope in their hearts had never disappeared.

After the Green-Faced Ghost King's injuries were fully healed, he immediately summoned all the fifth- and fourth-level cultivators in Qingluo City.

"Thank you all for your efforts during this time, which gave me the opportunity to recuperate from my injuries!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King smiled as he looked at Ku Yin and the others. After sincerely expressing his gratitude, he said with a smile, "Even though my injuries have been fully healed, there is still a considerable gap between me and the three families: Yanluo Palace, Zijin Valley, and Luofeng City."

"Fortunately, they don't know yet that my injuries have fully healed. They are only attacking on a small scale. I will make my move when they attack again, and hopefully catch them off guard. It would be best if I could eliminate their fifth-order perfect realm cultivator!"

"In a one-on-one fight, the city lord's strength far surpasses that of the Red Smoke Ghost Granny and other cultivators. If the city lord were to launch a sneak attack, they would absolutely be unable to withstand it!"

"The three families of Yanluo Palace don't get along very well. If the city lord kills one of the four fifth-order perfect realm cultivators, including Chiyan Ghost Granny, it will definitely break their cooperation!"

"We've been holding back for so long, now we can finally vent our anger!"

…………

Upon hearing the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor's arrangements, the cultivators of Qingluo City, including Ku Yin, immediately echoed his sentiments. They were now eagerly anticipating the next attack from the three families of Yanluo Palace.

Lu Cheng'an did not attend this meeting among the cultivators of Qingluo City, and even the news that Lu Cheng'an was currently in Qingluo City was only known to a few cultivators such as Ku Yin.

This is because Lu Cheng'an's identity is quite special. The news between Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor has always been known only to a few cultivators such as Ku Yin.

In such a critical moment, the Green-Faced Ghost King would be even more determined not to let Lu Cheng'an's information leak out.

The Green-Faced Ghost King now suspects that there are spies planted by the three families of Yanluo Palace in Qingluo City. The reason why the information he received about Mu Daoling was leaked is because of the spies in the city.

Lu Cheng'an is currently staying in the cave specially prepared for him by the Green-Faced Ghost King. During the time that the Green-Faced Ghost King was healing, Lu Cheng'an has been diligently cultivating the Fire Mulberry Dao Spirit Technique in this cave.

When Lu Cheng'an was in the endless void, he had only just managed to cultivate this divine ability to the point of mastery. After that, he never had time to cultivate it again.

During his time in Qingluo City, he couldn't do anything else but cultivate the Fire Mulberry Dao Spirit Technique.

Relying on the power of the panel and his own comprehension, Lu Cheng'an has made great progress in the past year or so, successfully cultivating the Fire Mulberry Dao Spirit Technique to the perfect level.

The power of the Fire Mulberry Dao Spirit Technique has increased significantly at the Perfected Realm. He now has a stronger control over his own Dao Domain and can unleash even more powerful forces through it.

Lu Cheng'an has not yet fully mastered the Fire Mulberry Dao Spirit Technique. If he can fully master this divine ability, his strength will increase significantly.

After finishing his meeting with Ku Yin and other cultivators in Qingluo City, the Green-Faced Ghost King went directly to Lu Cheng'an's cave.

"I have informed the cultivators in Qingluo City that I have recovered from my injuries, and I have also told them my next plan. If there are indeed spies from the three families of Yanluo Palace lying in ambush in Qingluo City, their next attack will definitely not be a small-scale attack. At that time, it is very likely that the four cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm, including Chiyan Ghost Granny, will be dispatched at the same time."

A cold look appeared on the face of the Green-Faced Ghost King. He looked at Lu Cheng'an and said in a deep voice, "At that time, Fellow Daoist Lu will be lying in ambush. If the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and other cultivators at the fifth-order perfection realm show up, I ask Fellow Daoist Lu to help me eliminate the two fifth-order perfection realm cultivators from the Smoke Palace with all my might!"

The two cultivators of the fifth-order perfect realm in Yanluo Palace are Chiyan Ghost Granny and Tieshen Rakshasa. They are both very powerful, but there is still a considerable gap between them and Qingmian Ghost Emperor.

Yanluo Palace is the most powerful of the three, and it occupies the most territory and resources.

If both of Yanluo Palace's fifth-order perfect realm cultivators were to perish in Qingluo City, Zijing Valley and Luofeng City might very well turn around and attack Yanluo Palace.

Of course, if possible, the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor wanted to join forces to kill all the cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm of the three families of Yanluo Palace, and at that time he would take over the power of these three families.

However, even now, the Green-Faced Ghost King is not entirely confident that he can kill all four cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm, including the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny. Therefore, he is currently only asking Lu Cheng'an to do his best to kill the two fifth-order perfect realm cultivators from the Smoke Palace, and resolve the crisis in Green Luo City first.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qingmian, I will do my best to help you!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Green-Faced Ghost King did not stay in Lu Cheng'an's cave for long. After discussing the matter with Lu Cheng'an, he returned to his own cave to prepare for the next battle.

It's possible that there really were spies from the Yanluo Palace and its three families lying in ambush within Qingluo City. Less than five days after the Green-Faced Ghost King emerged from seclusion and informed the cultivators in Qingluo City of his recovery, the Yanluo Palace and its three families launched another attack on Qingluo City. "Green-Faced, come out and face your death!"

"Today, let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve to hurt us!"

…………

Outside Qingluo City, dark clouds surged, and powerful ghost cultivators were scattered throughout the clouds.

Above the highest clouds were five powerful cultivators, all of whom were at the fifth-order perfect realm!

After sensing the presence of the additional fifth-order perfect realm cultivator, the Green-Faced Ghost King focused his attention on the extra figure and instantly recognized its identity.

"Old Monster Feiying, how dare you attack my Qingluo City!" The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor shouted coldly, his chilling gaze falling on Old Monster Feiying.

Feiying Laoguai's cultivation level is at the fifth-order perfect realm. He is good at speed and has first-class survival ability, but his own combat strength is not particularly strong.

However, he was, after all, at the peak of the fifth rank, and his strength far surpassed that of cultivators at the late fifth rank.

"Why waste words with him? If the five of us attack together today, I refuse to believe we can't destroy Green Face!"

The Crimson Smoke Witch let out a low shout. She still remembered the grudge of the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor for severely injuring her last time, so she launched the first attack on the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

Lu Cheng'an had been hiding in the shadows. His strength far surpassed that of the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny. The Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and other cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm were completely unaware of Lu Cheng'an's existence, and therefore they did not discover that Lu Cheng'an had been hiding in the shadows all along.

After the Crimson Smoke Witch made the first move, the Green-Faced Ghost King immediately gave Lu Cheng'an instructions to directly help him eliminate the Crimson Smoke Witch and the Iron-Body Rakshasa, both of whom were fifth-order perfect realm cultivators from the Smoke Palace.

After receiving instructions from the Green-Faced Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an immediately used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and the Iron-Body Rakshasa.

The strength of the Crimson Smoke Witch and the Iron-Body Rakshasa is somewhat inferior to that of Lu Cheng'an, so they are also more deeply influenced by the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal.

This wasn't the first time the Green-Faced Ghost King had teamed up with Lu Cheng'an. The instant that the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and the Iron-Body Rakshasa were affected by the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal, the Green-Faced Ghost King's fatal blow landed on the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny.

"No!"

The Crimson Smoke Witch stared in terror at the Green-Faced Ghost King, letting out a furious roar of resentment. But before her roar could even finish, her entire body was shattered by the Green-Faced Ghost King's attack.

The spirit of the Crimson Smoke Witch separated from her body and appeared, but it was destroyed by the Green-Faced Ghost King in an instant.

The instant Lu Cheng'an finished using the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal, he used the Fire Sea Giving Birth to attack the Iron-Body Rakshasa.

When Lu Cheng'an made his move, he mobilized the full power of his Dao Domain, which brought the power of this divine ability, supported by the power of the Dao Domain, to its peak.

As a loud firebird's cry rang out, a firebird formed entirely of fire energy instantly passed through the body of the close-knit Rakshasa.

In an instant, the Iron-Body Rakshasa's body burst into flames. The power of these flames was so strong that within a few breaths, the Iron-Body Rakshasa, a cultivator at the fifth-order perfect realm, was reduced to ashes.

After the Iron-Body Rakshasa's physical body was destroyed, his primordial spirit was unable to separate from his body because the power of the flames that burned his body to ashes also burned into his primordial spirit.

As his physical body was burned to ashes, his primordial spirit was also completely destroyed.

The reason for this is that Lu Cheng'an is a cultivator from the mortal world, and his power is extremely effective against cultivators from the underworld.

Lu Cheng'an attacked from the shadows, and his speed was so fast that even though he killed Iron Body Rakshasa, a cultivator at the fifth-order perfect realm, the cultivators of Yanluo Palace did not discover Lu Cheng'an's presence.

"Which fellow Daoist is hiding in the shadows? Please come out and show yourself."

"Who is the blue-faced one hiding in the shadows?"

…………

The deaths of the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and the Iron-Body Rakshasa of Yanluo Palace in that instant had a tremendous impact on the three surviving cultivators, Flying Shadow Old Monster and Ma Kong Old Ghost, who were at the peak of the fifth rank.

Because the Crimson Smoke Witch and the Iron-Body Rakshasa died too quickly, and their strength was even greater than theirs.

If the green-faced man and the cultivator hiding in the shadows were to attack them like that, they certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"You're all going to die soon, you don't need to know this!"

A chilling smile appeared on the face of the Green-Faced Ghost King. After quickly transmitting the information to Lu Cheng'an, he launched a powerful attack on the three cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm, Flying Shadow Old Monster.

The strength Lu Cheng'an displayed far exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that Lu Cheng'an could control the Crimson Smoke Ghost and the Iron Body Rakshasa at the same time, and also kill the Iron Body Rakshasa so swiftly.

Although Lu Cheng'an's displayed strength exceeded his expectations, it surprised and delighted him.

In this way, he would be absolutely certain of killing the remaining three cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm, Flying Shadow Old Monster.

Once all these cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm are dead, the remaining cultivators from the three families of Yanluo Palace will be no threat.

He will kill some and spare others, and soon he will be able to take over the territory of the three families of Yanluo Palace.

After receiving instructions from the Green-Faced Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an once again used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack Ma Kong Old Ghost and Feng Yuan Yin Jun.

Feng Yuan Yin Jun is the city lord of Luo Feng City. His strength is comparable to that of Ma Kong Lao Gui, and they are both slightly weaker than Chi Yan Gui Po and Tie Shen Luo Sha.

With Lu Cheng'an's current strength, he can control two cultivators of similar strength as Ma Kong Lao Gui by using the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

Old Monster Ma Kong and Lord Feng Yuanyin originally wanted to ask the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor and the cultivator behind him what power they used to kill the Crimson-Faced Ghost Granny and the Iron-Body Rakshasa, but when the power of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal descended upon them, they knew they had made a mistake.
