Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Su Liyan held Lu Yuan's hand tightly, picked him up, and carefully left the Fire Spirit Valley.

Immediately afterwards, Su Liyan used a cover-up technique, leaving false figures in the Fire Spirit Valley, covering up the truth seamlessly.

She found a hidden and safe place, put Lu Yuan down, and used a healing spell to restore his strength and repair his injuries.

As time passed by, Su Liyan concentrated on maintaining the healing technique.

She was extremely worried and anxious, but she also knew not to be impatient.

After waking up, Lu Yuan found himself lying in a spacious and elegant room.

Ancient paintings with patterns are hung on the surrounding walls, exuding a simple atmosphere.

He looked at Su Liyan strangely and tried to ask the unanswered question in the center of the exit.

Su Liyan noticed Lu Yuan's gaze and smiled at him tenderly: "Lu Yuan, you finally woke up."

She gently held his hand and asked with concern, "How do you feel?"

She motioned with her eyes to a nearby door that had been revealed.

"We should go back immediately to see what's going on."

He also mentioned that there may be more secrets hidden deep in the southwest mountains.

Lu Yuan felt that his body was extremely weak, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

He described that mysterious space, Zi Xi'er's sacrifice and his own changes.

"It's better to recuperate first and wait for recovery before returning to Dan Pavilion to check the situation."

"Let's find a safe place to rest first."

However, Lu Yuan shook his head and said firmly: "I am too weak to fight now."

"Okay, you're right."

She knew that ancient sects had appeared frequently recently, and evil forces had begun to emerge gradually.

Lu Yuan began to talk about the experience of "Qingxiao Tianyan" and the birth of "Cuiyan Spirit Infant".

All of this seemed to be related to Lu Yuan's body.

The two walked out of the room and came to a quiet courtyard.

He replied with a trembling voice: "My cultivation has suffered continuously, and my body is too overdrawn."

Su Liyan held his hand tightly, "Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion is being targeted by evil forces. I am very worried that they will pose a threat to you."

Su Liyan listened to Lu Yuan's narrative, surprise and worry flashed across her face.

"Lu Yuan, you have to be careful."

He paused, then continued in a weak but firm tone, "I experienced a dream-like adventure before I passed out."

"Thank you for bailing me out."

"What happened? You were unconscious for a long time."

Su Liyan nodded and looked at Lu Yuan understandingly.

There are several delicate flowers hanging in the yard, and the fresh floral fragrance fills the air.

A whirling ginkgo tree casts waves of light and familiar shadows.

The restless Lu Yuan sat on a stone bench in the yard, and Su Liyan sat next to him.

She looked at him, hoping to take some of the pressure off him.

"Su Liyan, I suddenly have a feeling."

Lu Yuan whispered, "There are huge secrets hidden in the southwest mountains, related to ancient sects and evil forces."

"We cannot stand by and watch."

Su Liyan nodded slightly: "You are right, but now that you are feeling unwell, it is most important to recuperate first."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "Is the person Zi Xi'er told me true or false?"

Su Liyan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "We don't have a definite answer to this question either."

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought, and questions popped up in his mind.

It was quiet inside the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, with only the sound of the gentle breeze echoing in my ears. Lu Yuan stood in the middle of the hall, looking around.

The Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion was the fruit of his many years of hard work, but now it was cast a mysterious shadow.

There has been no news from Zi Xi'er since she entered the fantasy formation, and her disappearance made Lu Yuan very worried.

It is said that she was involved in a fierce battle with cult monks, but she disappeared after that, and even the news about her life seemed to disappear.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and put away his inner anxiety.

He knew that it was not easy to find Zi Xi'er now, and he had to find clues first.

So he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mysterious illusion array.

The entrance to the magic array is covered by a powerful barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to break into it.

But as a cultivator, Lu Yuan was able to find a way to break through.

He took out his special talisman, held it gently in his hand, and silently recited the incantation.

The talisman began to emit a faint light, which gradually amplified as Lu Yuan pinched his fingers.

Under the guidance of Fu Lu, Lu Yuan went deep into the illusion formation.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and Zi Xi'er's figure appeared clearly in front of him.

"Zi Xi'er! You finally showed up!"

Lu Yuan called her name overjoyed.

Zi Xier's eyes were empty and indifferent, as if she was completely unaware of Lu Yuan's existence.

She slowly turned her head, her eyes no longer as bright as before.

"Lu Yuan..."

Zi Xi'er repeated his name in a low voice, with a hint of pain and helplessness in her voice.

Lu Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He understood that Zi Xi'er should be under some kind of restraint and control at this moment.

He walked towards her resolutely and reached out to touch her shoulder.

However, when he was about to touch Zi Xi'er, a mysterious force instantly bounced him away.

Su Liyan's face became solemn after listening to the report from the clan leader.

She knew that Zi Xi'er's disappearance was a huge blow to Lu Yuan, and at the same time, it also enveloped the entire Leihuo Dan Pavilion in depression and worry.

"I understand."

Su Liyan said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter myself."

Everyone nodded silently. They all had full trust in Su Liyan and believed that she could find Zi Xi'er's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Su Liyan hurriedly packed her bags, then left the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion and set foot on the outside of the Southwest Mountains where the phantom formation was located.

During the whole process, she was extremely anxious and nervous.

Along the way, she kept thinking about what might happen.

Zi Xi'er and Lu Yuan are a fake couple, but they have established a deep relationship with each other.

She couldn't imagine how heavy and desperate Lu Yuan felt at this moment.

Finally, a few days later, Su Liyan arrived at the location of the phantom formation.

The place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a beautiful environment, but it is shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Su Liyan carefully explored the enchantment of the illusion array, trying to find a way to enter it.

After some hard work, she finally found a tiny loophole.

She used the ice magic to form a beam of frost power, gently touching the gap in the barrier.

The gap immediately expanded, and Su Liyan successfully passed through the barrier and entered the illusion formation.

Suddenly, Su Liyan's eyes lit up and saw Lu Yuan standing inside the illusion array fighting with a mysterious and powerful monk.

Zi Xi'er stood in the distance, her body emitting a faint purple light. (End of chapter)
