Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Nascent Soul cultivators from Qing, He, and Tai prefectures discovered that there were no cultivators left in the Lu family's mountain gate, suggesting that all of the Lu family's cultivators may have left.

Something must have happened; there's likely a huge problem with the place they live in.

In the near future, they may all die here!

Their only way out might be the Nether River, but unfortunately, the Netherworld energy there is too harmful to them.

If they cannot avoid the invasion of the Netherworld Qi into their physical bodies and rashly enter the Netherworld River Basin...

Perhaps they died in the Nether River before the real danger arrived.

It is for this reason that the Nascent Soul cultivators of Qing, He, and Tai states are guarding outside the Nether River region, pondering ways to avoid the Nether Qi and enter the Nether River region.

After discovering the Nascent Soul cultivators outside the Nether River, Lu Cheng'an did not disturb them. Instead, he quietly left the Nether River and soon returned to the Lu family's mountain gate in the Hong'e Mountains.

Apart from the spiritual veins, all other resources within the Lu family's mountain gate in the Hong'e Mountains have been taken away by Lu Jinglin and other Lu family cultivators.

There are fifth-order spiritual veins within the Lu family's mountain gate. These spiritual veins were cultivated by the Lu family with great effort and resources.

Unfortunately, these spiritual veins cannot be easily taken away, so they remain here.

This time, Lu Cheng'an re-entered the Lu family's mountain gate in the Hong'e Mountains, carrying with him a set of fifth-order formations.

This formation can forcibly condense a spirit vein bead from a spirit vein, which will cause significant damage to the spirit vein and easily cause its grade to drop.

Lu Cheng'an carried this fifth-order formation with him in order to condense the spiritual veins in his family's mountain gate within the Hong'e Mountains into spiritual vein beads, even if it would cause the spiritual veins to drop in grade.

Lu Cheng'an did this because the Lu family would not be returning to the Burial Ground of Immortals.

Even if the spiritual veins within the family's mountain gate in the Burial Ground of Immortals remain intact, they are of no use to the Lu family.

Of course, this was not the reason that prompted Lu Cheng'an to do this, but because the ancient cultivators in the vast desert could absorb the spiritual veins from the outside world to revive.

The number of ancient cultivators who have revived within the Burial Grounds is still relatively small, and they have not yet affected areas outside of Yanzhou.

However, Lu Cheng'an believed that once the ancient cultivators in the vast desert were revived, they would definitely have an impact on areas outside Yanzhou.

At that time, these spiritual veins will become resources for the revival of those ancient cultivators. Lu Cheng'an does not want the spiritual veins in his family's mountain gate to benefit those ancient cultivators.

After entering the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an immediately set up the fifth-order formation near the fifth-order spiritual vein in the mountain gate.

He then released Mao Zhengfeng, who had been suppressed under the mountain gate's spiritual peak, but he did not completely remove the seal on Mao Zhengfeng's body.

"Fellow Daoist, I have no ill intentions towards you. There is no need for you to suppress me anymore!" Mao Zhengfeng looked at Lu Cheng'an ingratiatingly, hoping that Lu Cheng'an would not arbitrarily seal and suppress him anymore.

Lu Cheng'an glanced at Mao Zhengfeng indifferently, ignoring what Mao Zhengfeng was saying.

"I will now take you to where Xia Ang is. You can see what Xia Ang's current situation is, and while you're at it, check if there are any other cultivators who have recovered like you!"

Lu Cheng'an did not wait for Mao Zhengfeng's reply. He placed his hand on Mao Zhengfeng's shoulder, and then activated his spatial folding technique, instantly taking Mao Zhengfeng away from the Lu family's mountain gate.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an appeared outside the vast desert with Mao Zhengfeng.

"Remember what I told you. If you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, I can take your life at any time!"

Lu Cheng'an stared coldly at Mao Zhengfeng, forming a hand seal and quickly releasing his control over Mao Zhengfeng.

Mao Zhengfeng can now use the magic power within his body, and his strength has returned to its peak.

However, Lu Cheng'an's seal still remains within his body. If Lu Cheng'an activates the seal, he can still easily take Mao Zhengfeng's life.

Mao Zhengfeng was not weak, and he could naturally sense the methods Lu Chengan had left on him.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards you!"

Mao Zhengfeng gave Lu Cheng'an a fawning smile and said, "I'll go check on my master's condition right now. If there's any news, I'll inform you immediately!"

Mao Zhengfeng was fast, and he soon entered the vast desert.

Lu Cheng'an stayed at the edge of the Hanhai Desert. He did not venture deep into it, but monitored the situation in the Hanhai Desert through Mao Zhengfeng.

Soon after, Mao Zhengfeng appeared at Xia Ang's burial site.

It has been some time since Mao Zhengfeng set up the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array on the sixth-order spiritual vein where Xia Ang is located. However, Mao Zhengfeng did not dare to fully activate the power of this array, which resulted in the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array taking effect very slowly.

Xia Gang's spiritual veins are still at the sixth rank, and it's unknown when they will fall to the fifth rank.

The biggest advantage of the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array being slow to take effect is that it is not easy to attract Xia Ang's attention. Even after so much time has passed since the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array was set up, Xia Ang still has no idea about it.

"We don't know when Xia Ang will wake up. That kid probably made some preparations before he left, and he may already have a way to deal with Xia Ang!"

"He asked me to check if there are any cultivators who have recovered. Does he intend to kill all the cultivators who have recovered so far?"

After checking on Xia Ang's condition, Mao Zhengfeng couldn't help but think of another matter that Lu Chengan had entrusted to him.

His brows furrowed as he thought of this; those who were now being revived were all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, like himself.

Those cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm are currently in a deep slumber, but they are likely to awaken soon.

"There must still be some cultivators who have recovered here. With that kid's abilities, dealing with these recovered cultivators shouldn't be a difficult task!"

Mao Zhengfeng sighed softly. He believed that Lu Cheng'an would definitely not let him watch from the sidelines and would inevitably ask him to join in.

Lu Cheng'an also possesses a powerful firebird, and together with Lu Cheng'an himself, they have the combat strength of three people at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

After considering his options, Mao Zhengfeng didn't waste any time and began searching for other resurrected ancient cultivators in the vast desert.

After their resurrection, these ancient cultivators did not communicate with each other. They each designated their own areas, and if other ancient cultivators stepped into their areas, a fight might break out. It was for this reason that the other ancient cultivators in the Vast Sea Desert were unaware of Lu Cheng'an's suppression and killing of his fellow disciples, including Mao Zhengfeng.

Mao Zhengfeng was now determined to search, and it didn't take him long to find the ancient cultivator who had been revived in the vast desert.

That ancient cultivator was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Unlike his fellow disciples Mao Zhengfeng, he did not have any cultivators at the Void Refinement stage behind him.

This also meant that the ancient cultivator's strength was not formidable; even Mao Zhengfeng was confident he could kill him.

However, Mao Zhengfeng did not do that, but quickly passed the message to Lu Chengan.

"The cultivator I found was all alone. His cultivation level was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He should have something you need!" Mao Zhengfeng said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an had inquired about Xia Ang's situation before, and at that time he knew what Lu Cheng'an wanted to get from Xia Ang.

The cultivator he discovered was alone, and must have all sorts of books that Lu Cheng'an needed.

“I will go with you to find that cultivator. You will focus all your efforts on him, and I will find an opportunity to kill him!” Lu Cheng’an said in a deep voice after glancing at Mao Zhengfeng.

"I will do as you say and do my best to kill that cultivator!" Mao Zhengfeng said with a smile.

He had already assessed the cultivator's strength and found him to be no match for him. Even if Lu Cheng'an didn't intervene, the cultivator wouldn't pose any threat to him.

A moment later, Mao Zhengfeng led Lu Chengan to the exact location of the ancient cultivator.

Once the cultivator appeared within Mao Zhengfeng's attack range, Mao Zhengfeng showed no mercy and launched a fatal blow directly at the cultivator.

"Why did you attack me, fellow Daoist?" the cultivator exclaimed in shock and anger. He quickly defended himself and then launched a counterattack against Mao Zhengfeng.

Mao Zhengfeng did not answer the cultivator's question, but instead, following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, launched a relentless attack on the cultivator.

Lu Cheng'an was already quite familiar with Mao Zhengfeng, so when Mao Zhengfeng and that ancient cultivator made their move, his attention was focused on the ancient cultivator.

"He's comprehending the Great Dao of Earth. I wonder if the scriptures he carries will be of any help to Jingkun and the others!"

Lu Cheng'an murmured to himself. After observing for a moment, he did not hesitate and quickly used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to control the ancient cultivator. Then he launched a fatal attack on the ancient cultivator.

At the same time, Mao Zhengfeng did not hold back either.

The ancient cultivator's strength was only average to begin with, and he lost his life in an instant under the combined attack of Lu Cheng'an and Mao Zhengfeng.

After plundering all the resources carried by the ancient cultivator, Lu Cheng'an and Mao Zhengfeng went to the spiritual vein where the ancient cultivator resided.

The spiritual vein had reached the fifth rank, but after this ancient cultivator revived, the spiritual vein was severely damaged, as if it was about to fall to the fourth rank.

There were no treasures around the spiritual vein; the valuable items on the ancient cultivator's body were all in the storage artifact he carried with him.

Before this, Lu Cheng'an had already examined the storage artifact carried by the ancient cultivator. The number of treasures stored in the storage artifact was not large. Apart from a few spiritual materials and magic weapons, what excited Lu Cheng'an the most were the various classic texts and inheritances.

Mao Zhengfeng had previously told Lu Cheng'an that few of the cultivators in the Vast Desert were originally independent cultivators. When they chose to be buried with the high-level cultivators of the Vast Desert, they also organized the classics and inheritances of their respective forces, hoping to continue their previous inheritances after the revival.

The cultivator that Lu Cheng'an and Mao Zhengfeng killed together was just like that. The inheritance books in the storage magic artifact he carried were very complete, and they were categorized and numerous.

Lu Cheng'an did not examine it in detail. After checking the spiritual vein where the ancient cultivator was staying, he looked at Mao Zhengfeng beside him with a deep gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that, fellow Daoist?" Mao Zhengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He was worried that Lu Cheng'an might suddenly kill him.

"Why haven't these revived cultivators left this place? Why are they still hiding in this place?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

He sent Mao Zhengfeng to search the vast desert for any remaining ancient cultivators, just to give it a try.

He just didn't expect that Mao Zhengfeng would discover other revived ancient cultivators so quickly.

This discovery left Lu Cheng'an feeling quite perplexed.

Since these ancient cultivators have been revived, why haven't they left the Vast Desert? After all, the environment of the Vast Desert isn't very good.

If Mao Zhengfeng and his three fellow disciples did not leave the Vast Desert because of Xia Ang, then the ancient cultivator they were about to kill had no such concerns.

Upon hearing Lu Cheng'an's question, Mao Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately explained, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but we cannot leave the area of ​​the Vast Sea Desert, otherwise we will be in danger of perishing."

"I was able to leave this place mainly because of your strength, fellow Daoist, who brought me out of here. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been obliterated by the power of the rules of this place shortly after I left!"

When Mao Zhengfeng spoke of these things, a look of fear involuntarily appeared on his face.

Lu Cheng'an's heart stirred slightly. The Burial Immortal Land was sealed off by cultivators from the outside world, including many great cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Their methods are unimaginable; they are certainly on guard against these cultivators in the Burial Ground of Immortals.

Perhaps it is true, as Mao Zhengfeng said, that there are rules set up here by cultivators from the outside world. Once these ancient cultivators in the Vast Desert violate these rules, they will be annihilated by the power of these rules.

Lu Cheng'an glanced at Mao Zhengfeng indifferently and said coldly, "You continue to search for lone cultivators like this, and then you and I will join forces to eliminate them!"

"I think we can hold off for now and talk about it after we've dealt with Xia Ang!"

Mao Zhengfeng looked troubled. After glancing at Lu Cheng'an's expression, he continued, "If we attack these cultivators one after another, other cultivators might find out, which could lead to great trouble!"

Although these revived cultivators have no connection with each other, if they ambushed and killed those lone cultivators one after another, it might attract the attention of high-level cultivators deep inside.

Once they fall into the sights of those high-level cultivators, they will be doomed!
“What you said makes some sense. Right now, all you need to do is pinpoint the locations of those lone cultivators. Once we've joined forces to eliminate Xia Ang, we can then decide whether or not to take action against them!” Lu Cheng’an said.

Mao Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Lu Chengan had changed his mind.

If we only investigate the locations of those lone cultivators, it will be much safer.

After separating from Lu Cheng'an again, Mao Zhengfeng continued searching for the location of any lone cultivators in the vast desert, while Lu Cheng'an went to the vicinity of the spiritual vein where Xia Ang resided to monitor Xia Ang's situation. (End of Chapter)
