Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

But Lu Yu didn't care. It was not new to these two masters and apprentices being stingy. Lu Yu was used to it. However, the Three Thousand Flames did become a little stronger than before.

A day passed in a flash, and Qinglin returned to Lu Yu with a smile on his face and in a good mood, while Nalan Yanran was depressed and wanted to cry but had no tears. It was obvious that she was hit hard by Qinglin.

"You...who did you learn this bad habit from?" Lu Yu rolled his eyes and tapped Qinglin's forehead in annoyance.

"Hehe... Young Master, let's go!" Qinglin chuckled but did not answer.

"Lü Yu, wait, I have something to talk to you about!"

Just when Lu Yu and Qing Lin were about to leave Xingyun Pavilion, a figure came hurriedly. It was Elder Qiu Mao, one of the eight elders of Danta.

"Uh... Elder Qiu Mao, what are you doing...?" Lu Yu was confused, not sure what this old man was doing.

Chapter 384 I have never fought such a battle in my life!

"Elder Lu Yu, the battle at Xingyun Pavilion has come to an end, but the Soul Palace's attack on Danta has not ended!" Elder Qiu Mao said in a deep voice with a serious face.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. Really? But...what does this have to do with me?

However, considering his own image, Lu Yu did not rush to ask back, but waited quietly for Elder Qiu Mao's next words.

"In the west and north of Dan Territory, the Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You led the Sixth Heavenly Venerable of Soul Hall, the Fifth Heavenly Venerable led the Ninth Heavenly Venerable, and there were also many Heavenly Venerables and Dou Venerables of Soul Hall confronting our Dan Tower!"

"The Soul Palace came with great force, slaughtering cities in the Dan Territory. They killed almost all the people in the cities, and extracted the souls of all the people, regardless of gender, age or status."

"In the outskirts of Dan Territory, many cities have already been littered with corpses, piled up like mountains!"

Elder Qiu Mao said in a deep voice. Before he finished speaking, his old face had already become extremely gloomy, his eyes were blazing with anger, and he was about to burst into tears. This damn Soul Palace!

"Right now, President Xuankongzi and President Tianleizi are confronting Guyou, guarding against the crazy behavior of the second Heavenly Master of the Soul Palace, while President Xuanyi is dispatching in Shengdan City."

"In the north, Elder Cao and his men were confronting Soul Palace warriors led by Soul Palace's Five Celestial Lords and Nine Celestial Lords, and both sides had their share of victories and defeats."

"So, you want me to go with you to help Elder Cao?" Lu Yu touched his chin, frowned slightly and murmured.

The so-called Elder Cao is the head of the Cao family, one of the five major families in Danyu, um... Cao Ying's family. However, Lu Yu had heard of this Elder Cao but had never had any interaction with him.

"That's right. You and I, together with Elder Cao, will surely secure victory!"

Elder Qiu Mao said repeatedly that Lu Yu's cultivation was at the fifth level, which was two levels stronger than his. If the two of them attacked at the same time, the Five Heavenly Lords and the Nine Heavenly Lords of the Soul Palace would definitely not be able to fight back!

When he thought of this, a hint of excitement appeared on Elder Qiu Mao's face. This battle would surely be a crushing victory!

It only takes a flip of the hand to destroy the Five Heavenly Lords!

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "I understand the logic, but what benefit will I get from fighting this battle?"

No, we won’t do this disadvantageous job!

However... Elder Qiu Mao is not Xiao Yan or Yao Chen, and Danta is not Xingyun Pavilion. We cannot reject him rudely. We need to think of a way...

Touching his chin, Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then his eyes turned and slowly became solemn.

On the side, Qing Lin watched the change in Lu Yu's expression and couldn't help but chuckle. The young master showed such an expression, most likely he was going to trick people again...

"Elder Qiu Mao is wrong!" Lü Yu's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The Soul Palace is attacking us from many directions. Although it is worth celebrating to destroy one of them, it cannot really effectively change the situation of the war."

"Even if we wiped out the Fifth and Ninth Heavenly Lords, so what? The Second Heavenly Lord Gu You is still here, as is the Sixth Heavenly Lord. Seniors Xuan Kong Zi and Tian Lei Zi will still have to fight Gu You."

"You and I joining together may seem like a win, but in reality, nothing has changed!"

"This..." Elder Qiu Mao was a little confused. It sounded like this...

"Then what should we do?" Elder Qiu Mao couldn't help but ask, with a trace of anxiety on his face. Danta is the holy land of alchemists in the world, it is wealthy and powerful, but so what? No one wants to fight!

"Easy, open up a third battlefield!" Lü Yu said in a deep voice: "The Soul Palace can come to attack us and massacre our city, why can't we take the initiative to attack and destroy their branch palaces?"

"And don't forget, the Soul Palace is launching a massive attack right now, so the rear must be extremely empty, so... can you and I do whatever we want?"

Lu Yu grinned and laughed strangely, his expression full of anticipation.

"This..." Qiu Mao was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had never thought of this option. It was not because he was stupid, but because of the inertia of thinking.

In previous struggles with the Soul Palace, Danta had never taken the initiative to attack, because Danta was in the open and the Soul Palace was in the dark, and Danta had always been the one passively taking the beating, while looking for opportunities to counterattack and repel the Soul Palace's attacks.

Then the Soul Palace retreated, and even if Danta wanted to chase them, he couldn't find where they were, so the matter ended in nothing.

However, this does not mean that Danta does not want to fight back, but those are the ideas of young people. Those who truly hold power... are just like Elder Qiu Mao in front of him, with inertial thinking and a lot of rich experience gained from fighting with Danta... commonly known as path dependence!

"Great!" Elder Qiu Mao slapped his thigh and said in surprise, "Elder Lu's words really made me see the light, and my mind was suddenly enlightened!"

Lu Yu's words were like enlightenment to Elder Qiu Mao, instantly making him excited.

"So, where are the branches of the Soul Hall?" Lu Yu chuckled. "I think Elder Qiu Mao should have some information, right?"

"Of course!" Elder Qiu Mao immediately touched the ring with his fingertips, and a scroll appeared in his hand: "This is the location of the Soul Palace branch that we know of."

"Are there locations for the twenty-four Disha branch temples?" Lu Yu took it and asked.

"Of course...but there are only 23 Disha branch temples, and among these 23 branch temples, we have only found the locations of 7 branch temples." Elder Qiu Mao said. One of the Disha branch temples was destroyed by Lu Yu and Xiao Yan.

"That's enough!" Lu Yu nodded. "In that case, let's go. The sooner we start this plan, the more pressure we can relieve from Senior Xuan Kongzi and others, and the sooner we can force Soul Palace to withdraw."

"Elder Lu Yu is absolutely right, it should be so!" Elder Qiu Mao said repeatedly.

As he spoke, Lu Yu took Qing Lin's hand and flew away with Elder Qiu Mao.

"Elder Qiu Mao, how about you lead the charge in this battle, and I will be responsible for covering the rear..." Lu Yu said

"This... it's very dangerous to leave the rear, why don't we advance and retreat together?" Elder Qiu Mao hesitated.

"Elder Qiu Mao is wrong. It is precisely because of the danger that you handed it over to me, Lu. My skills are here for you!" Lu Yu said firmly and righteously, leaving no room for doubt.

"This battle requires swiftness, and we must invade like fire and come and go like the wind." Lu Yu said solemnly:

"We are in the enemy's rear, you and I must flee as quickly as possible. Once the Soul Palace mobilizes strong men to encircle and suppress us, you and I will probably fall into an irretrievable situation. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" After these words came out, Elder Qiu Mao no longer hesitated. Elder Lu Yu was right. They must not linger in the battle and must not delay. Once they were surrounded, they would be dead!

"Yes...that's right!" Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction. Elder Qiu Mao was still easy to fool...no, very easy to reason with.

……

In the north of Danyu, Yanshan City!

To the north of Yanshan City is a huge mountain range called "Xianshe Mountain" that stretches for thousands of miles. Opposite the mountain range are the Five Heavenly Lords and the Nine Heavenly Lords of the Soul Palace.

Elder Cao in Yanshan City led the people of Danta and fought many battles with the Soul Palace in Xianshe Mountain. Both sides won and lost, and neither side could do anything to the other.

The people of Danta were wealthy and powerful. They had nothing else but plenty of elixirs. Everyone who participated in the battle ate to their heart's content, treating the elixirs as candy beans.

The seventh-grade elixirs that were rarely seen in the past can be found everywhere here. Everyone has a few. If anyone is injured, they can take elixirs immediately. If they are not enough... it's so funny, how could they not be enough?

Do you look down on Danta?

Not to mention the previous reserves of elixirs, now in Shengdan City, many alchemists are working at full capacity, like hens laying eggs, continuously refining seventh-grade elixirs. The entire sky of Shengdan City has long been shrouded in thunderclouds, and the sound of thunder continues without interruption.

In the city of Shengdan, the inventory of Dantadanjie was opened, and countless medicinal materials were continuously delivered as if there was no end. If the medicinal materials were used as much as possible, there would be no possibility of running out.

The alchemists who were refining the elixir were all grinning from ear to ear. They had never refined such a rich elixir in their lives!

This is why no one in Zhongzhou wants to offend Danta. On the one hand, Danta’s strength and connections are top-notch, and not everyone can afford to offend him.

On the one hand... the people of Danta are not afraid of consumption when fighting, and their pills seem to be inexhaustible.

Wars are fought for money and financial resources. Who has the strength to fight against Danta?!

...The Soul Palace has it, and not only does it exist, it’s huge!

The Soul Palace is also not afraid of consumption at all. They have countless souls in their hands, including the souls of Dou Zuns and Dou Zongs, and they can manipulate the souls to self-destruct at any time.

When one group of Dharma protectors was gone, they would find another group of Dharma protectors. When one group of Dou Zun was gone, they would pull out the reserve Dou Zun souls to help them restore their bodies, and then force them to fight.

Danta and Soul Palace, one side has more elixirs and can restore mana and health at any time; one side has more people and can switch to another group to continue fighting with you at any time.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the bloody fight never stopped, but neither side could do anything to the other.

"We can't go on like this..." In Yanshan City, Elder Cao's eyes were gloomy. Even if there were mountains of gold and silver, they could not be wasted like this.

What's more, they are wasting their time on rubbish like the Soul Palace. We must solve this problem as soon as possible and achieve our goal in one go!

"Elder, someone is coming from Shengdan City!" A deacon came hurriedly and said quickly.

"Shengdan City?" Elder Cao was stunned: "What's going on? Didn't the elixir just arrive two days ago? Did something go wrong?"

"Uh..." The deacon stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Grandpa, I'm here!" At this moment, a graceful figure appeared outside the gate. She was wearing a black dress and looked charming and seductive. It was Xuan Kongzi's disciple, Cao Ying from the Cao family.

"What are you doing here?" Elder Cao's face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened, and he asked angrily.

"I've brought you a strong man to help you break through!" Cao Ying said with a grin, not afraid at all: "Senior Tianhuo, thank you for your help."

As soon as the voice fell, the Skyfire Venerable in a white robe slowly walked over and said with a slow smile: "Elder Cao, I will lend you a hand."

"Senior, what's going on?" Elder Cao was stunned, a little confused.

As one of the eight elders of Danta, Elder Cao certainly knew about the Skyfire Venerable. This person was the bodyguard of Elder Lu Yu and was extremely powerful, reaching the fifth level of Dou Zun.

And some time ago, he even broke through to the sixth level of Dou Zun. His cultivation speed was so fast that even the elders of Danta who had many elixirs in their hands found it unreasonable.

But the question is...isn't he Lu Yu's bodyguard? Why is he involved in the battle between Danta and Soul Palace?

“Haha… Since President Xuanyi has asked me to do my part, it’s not a difficult task for me to help.” Venerable Tianhuo stroked his beard and chuckled.

Cao Ying nodded slightly and smiled without saying anything. In fact, it was her suggestion. She had heard about the powerful strength of Lord Skyfire from her teacher a long time ago. Now the battle situation was unfavorable. After much consideration, Cao Ying decided to ask Lord Skyfire for help.

Of course, she definitely couldn't do such a thing. The only connection between Cao Ying and Skyfire Venerable was Lu Yu.

So she had a detailed talk with Xuanyi, and then went up the mountain to talk with Medusa and Xiao Yixiong. Finally, after getting the consent of the two, Venerable Tianhuo agreed to take action.

The Shengdan Mountains are the core area of ​​Danta. Not to mention the many Dousheng and Half-Saints in the Small Danta, the many masters in the Outer Danta alone should not be underestimated. What's more, the great elder of the Small Danta also promised to pay more attention to Lu Yu's manor.

The great elder was not clear about Lu Yu's background, but he was very clear about the energy that Lu Yu could mobilize. The two Taixu ancient dragons in the Fighting Saint realm were already something he should not underestimate. If anything happened to these beauties of Lu Yu, it would be unknown how many more Taixu ancient dragons would appear.

Therefore, although Venerable Skyfire had left, the defense of Luyu Manor had increased instead of decreased.

"In that case, thank you very much, Lord Tianhuo!" Elder Cao said happily. With the help of a Sixth Turn Dou Zun, the Soul Palace's Five Tianzun would not live long!

……

In the northwest of Zhongzhou, at the junction of the Central Region and the Northern Region, there is a deep place called the Huoji Swamp!

Amidst the green and black miasma, a huge palace loomed in the distance.

This is one of the twenty-four branch halls of the Soul Palace, the branch hall in the Snake Swamp. As the Soul Palace has been causing troubles everywhere, many people have been transferred to this branch hall.

The Disha branch hall is now shrouded in a layer of black mist, like a ghost appearing, disappearing, and flickering.

Defensive formation!

The Soul Palace used to advocate offense, and even the formation protecting the palace was a formation that could only attack and not defend. But now... Haha, it is enough to see its current predicament.

boom!

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded. Above the sky, a huge fireball, like a meteor, brought with it terrifying flames and boundless force, and slammed heavily on the Soul Palace formation.

Boom!

There was a deafening explosion and the ground shook in an instant. The soft mud in the Swamp rolled up and foul-smelling black water splashed up. However, before it fell, it was evaporated by the terrifying high temperature.

Creak, creak, creak~

Outside the huge palace, an invisible barrier blocked the attack of the fireball. The fireball and the barrier were in a stalemate, consuming each other. Weird noises continued to be heard, making people's scalps numb.

Bang!

The next second, the barrier broke, and a terrifying fireball fell, destroying most of the huge palace in an instant.

"Hahahaha... I have never fought such a satisfying battle in my life!" Elder Qiu Mao laughed loudly towards the sky, feeling extremely happy.

"Who! Are you looking for death?" An angry roar came from the ruined huge palace. An old figure appeared in the air, glaring at Elder Qiu Mao in the sky.

Swish swish!

Groups of black fog swooped out like hornets, ready for battle!

"Hehe, a nine-star Dou Zun?" Elder Qiu Mao looked at the old man and grinned, as if it was not that important for Lu Yu to cover the rear.

However, before he could finish the thought, the old man in black robe suddenly changed the seals with his hands, and a strange black rune vortex slowly appeared between his eyebrows. The aura of the Nine-Star Dou Zun instantly soared to the peak of the Nine-Star, and it seemed that he was only one step away from becoming a Dou Zun.

"Someone from the Soul Clan!?" Elder Qiu Mao's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that a mere Nine-Star Dou Zun was actually a member of the Soul Clan.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Elder Qiu Mao's figure flashed, and he used his body skills to disappear in an instant, while Lu Yu and Qing Lin slowly appeared.

This was the plan that had been set from the beginning. No matter what, after breaking through the Soul Hall's defense with one strike, the rest would be Lu Yu's business.
