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

"Master Potian? Why is it you?"

Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

True Lord Potian looked a little tired and angry, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Lu Yuan, I heard that Zi Xier was unhappy because she was involved in a transaction."

"I have decided to leave the Black Flame Sect temporarily."

There was a hint of disappointment and anger in his voice.

This sudden news surprised Lu Yuan a little.

He knew that True Lord Potian had special feelings for Zi Xier, but he didn't expect that he would choose to leave because of a deal.

"Are you sure you want to leave?"

"This is a big decision. Have you thought it through?"

Lu Yuan tried to persuade.

True Lord Potian stared with his eyes wide open, and replied with anger still lingering: "Of course I have thought it through!"

"I won't tolerate anyone doing anything bad to Zi Xier."

"I will investigate this matter myself and protect her safety."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment. He knew that True Lord Potian was sincere in his concern for Zi Xier, and he also understood his anger at the moment.

But he still felt that Master Potian's suggestion was too impulsive.

"Master Potian, I understand how much you value Zi Xier, but we must handle this calmly now."

"After all, we are pursuing power and realm on the path of cultivating immortals." Lu Yuan tried to make him think rationally.

Master Potian seemed somewhat disappointed and angry, "Do you think so too?"

"You also think that I only approached her because I wanted to take advantage of my relationship?"

When Lu Yuan heard this, he was shocked.

He didn't expect that True Lord Potian would doubt Su Liyan's motives.

He always felt that Su Liyan was doing this for his own good and would not go back on her word.

"Master Potian, you misunderstood."

"Su Liyan has always treated you sincerely."

Lu Yuan replied in a firm tone.

However, True Lord Po Tian did not respond immediately.

He left silently, leaving behind deep disappointment and confusion.

Lu Yuan looked at his departing back, his heart filled with worry and anxiety.

He knew that if he didn't resolve the misunderstanding, his friend might take extreme action.

A year later, Lu Yuan, who was practicing in seclusion inside the Leihuo Dan Pavilion, was committed to consolidating and improving his strength, and he formulated a strict plan to accelerate his progress.

He spent every day in practice, and although the progress was a bit difficult, he still maintained persistence and hard work.

Lu Yuan sat quietly in the Leihuodan Pavilion, immersed in the atmosphere of cultivation.

The retreat has lasted for a whole year and he knows very little about the affairs of the outside world.

The runes and laws on the pages flashed mysteriously before his eyes, and Lu Yuan tried hard to understand the mystery.

The sunlight outside the window poured warmly into the hall, and the breeze caressed his face, giving him a sense of comfort and tranquility.

The disciples in Leihuo Dan Pavilion were busy managing various affairs and business was booming, which made Lu Yuan feel gratified.

Although he was unable to participate in the grand event of Tianfeng City, he also had his own responsibilities and missions in this Chenxiao city.

During the past year of seclusion and practice, Lu Yuan devoted himself to consolidating and improving his strength. He practiced step by step strictly according to the plan he set for himself.

The disturbances in the outside world cannot bother him. To him, those are just trivial matters like mosquitoes and flies, and he just needs to let them die out on their own.

Time flies, and the one-year retreat practice is finally over.

Lu Yuan decided to return to the martial arts world and began to pay attention to the outside world. Just as he was about to leave the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, a disciple hurried into the hall.

"Master, there is urgent news."

The disciple said in a panic.

"whats the matter?"

Lu Yuan asked quickly.

"There is a demon cultivator named Tiansha who is committing evil nearby. He betrayed the Red Lotus Sect and used cruel means to plunder the skills of cultivators from other sects."

The disciple reported to Lu Yuan respectfully.

Hearing this news, Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He was always wary of practitioners of evil ways.

What's more, this Tiansha looks extremely cruel and ambitious.

After hearing his disciple's report, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with worry.

Evil demon cultivators always bring endless troubles and dangers to people, especially those who betray their sects should not be underestimated.

He thought for a while and decided to go to Hong Lietian to ask for information about Tiansha.

Hong Lietian is the leader of the Nether Soul Sect and is very familiar with all kinds of evil practitioners.

Lu Yuan went straight to Hong Lietian's residence and told him the news about Tiansha.

"The name Tiansha sounds scary."

Hong Lietian stroked his long, black beard and said thoughtfully, "From what you described, he should be a demon cultivator who is famous for devouring other people's spiritual energy to enhance his own strength."

"Although they are different from us in pursuing immortal methods and practicing the righteous path, we cannot deny their powerful strength."

Hong Lietian continued in a deep voice: "It's not that demon cultivators can't become immortals, it's just that the path they take to pursue power is different from ours."

"They survive by devouring the spiritual energy of others, and have accumulated tremendous strength in the process of growing up. However, this way of practice is destined to cause them to fight against the way of heaven."

Lu Yuan listened attentively, his heart filled with worry about Tiansha's future.

He knew that this path of going against the way of heaven was full of dangers and uncertainties, but he also understood that he could not easily interfere with the fate of the demon cultivators.

Hong Lietian saw Lu Yuan pondering for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

He smiled and said, "Lu Yuan, although you can be called a responsible and intelligent cultivator, there are some things that we cannot change or solve."

“Everyone has the right to choose their own path to growth, whether for good or evil.”

"All we can do is maintain our original intentions, uphold justice, and provide help and warnings as much as possible."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"You are right, Senior Hong."

"I will try my best to control myself and not interfere with the growth of others, and try to calm my fellow disciples' excessive panic about this matter."

Hong Lietian smiled and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder.

"Good boy, I believe you can do it."

"Tiansha may be a threat, but we should not jump to conclusions before he finally faces his fate of fighting against Tiandao."

Hong Lietian's words brought Lu Yuan a little comfort.

In a mountain range not far south of Chenxiao City, Tiansha was facing several masters who came to encircle and suppress him, showing amazing strength.

He held a blood-sacrificing stick in his hand, looking as terrifying as a demon descending to the earth.

This long staff can absorb the enemy's spiritual power and kill them.

Even when several masters joined forces, they still found it difficult to subdue Tiansha, and ultimately had no choice but to retreat or be captured.

Back at Leihuo Dan Pavilion in Chenxiao City, Lu Yuan was busy running the shop.

Su Liyan assisted Lu Yuan on the side.

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the store. (End of this chapter)
