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

"Lu Yuan! Something happened!"

Zi Xier shouted in panic.

Lu Yuan stopped the work in his hands and looked at Zi Xier seriously.

"what happens?"

Zi Xier panted and said, "People from the Ghost Sect and the Ziyun Family came to our door. They expressed their intention to cooperate with Tiansha."

"Cooperation? What's going on?"

Su Liyan asked curiously.

Zi Xier continued, "They plan to use Tiansha to cause civil unrest and frame Leihuo Dan Pavilion for participating in dark activities in order to weaken our strength."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan's faces became solemn.

They knew very well that if the internal and external forces colluded, it would bring a huge crisis to the Leihuo Dan Pavilion.

Zi Xier continued to explain: "Tiansha accepted their conditions and set his sights on Leihuo Dan Pavilion and its allies."

Looking at the tense atmosphere in the room, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"This matter cannot be ignored and we must take immediate action."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement.

“Yes, we can’t be stuck in passivity.”

"We should first understand the current situation and the enemy's strength."

So the three of them discussed it and decided to go to Hong Lietian for help and advice.

When they arrived at the Nether Soul Sect, Hong Lietian was discussing trivial matters with several disciples.

"Senior Hong, please give us some advice."

Lu Yuan respectfully asked Hong Lietian for advice.

Hong Lietian put away his smile and his expression became serious.

"The joint action from the Ghost Sect and the Purple Cloud Family has put us in a crisis."

"Since they chose Tiansha as their partner, it proves that they value Tiansha's strength very much."

A trace of worry flashed across Hong Lietian's eyes.

Su Liyan continued: "What should we do now?"

Hong Lietian pondered for a moment and said, "We should gather our strength first and continuously increase our own strength."

“This is the only way to fight them.”

Lu Yuan thought about it and suggested: "Then we can find out some information about Tiansha and see how strong he is."

Hong Lietian nodded in agreement with Lu Yuan's proposal.

"Yes, go investigate Tiansha's strength and report the information back."

"I will also investigate the relationship between the Ziyun Family and the Ghost Sect."

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan and Zi Xier left the Ghost Sect and went deep into the mountains to look for Tiansha.

The atmosphere inside the Leihuo Dan Pavilion was tense and urgent discussions were underway.

Lu Yuan sat on the main seat, with Su Liyan and Zi Xier sitting on both sides of him.

They gathered together to think about how to deal with the recent incident of the evil cultivators appearing in the martial arts world.

Everyone knew that this problem was very serious. They were worried that Tiansha might have received help from other evil cults, and that the Youhun Sect and Ziyun Family, who had a grudge against the Leihuo Dan Pavilion, might be involved.

Although there was no solid evidence to prove this, they decided to strengthen their own defenses first.

“We have to protect ourselves.”

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "We can't let anyone easily invade the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

Su Liyan nodded and suggested: "We can strengthen the guard force and set up more barriers and traps around."

"Yes, we can also use the Five Elements Dunjia and Tiangang Beidou Formation to set up more barriers."

Lu Yuan added.

Zi Xier also joined the discussion: "In addition, we can also increase the time to repair the detection technique so that we can understand the surrounding dynamics at the first time." Lu Yuan nodded.

They all knew that in addition to strengthening their defenses, they also needed more intelligence to better deal with this threat.

"We need to know how strong Tiansha is."

Su Liyan said, "Only by understanding his details can we formulate more effective countermeasures."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan agreed, "Hong Lietian will investigate the relationship between the Ghost Sect and the Ziyun Family, and we have to do our own investigation as well."

Afterwards, they left Leihuodan Pavilion separately and began to look for information about Tiansha.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan went deep into the mountains, hoping to find clues.

In the mountains, they carefully avoided various traps and barriers and came to the entrance of a hidden and ancient cave.

They pushed open the heavy stone door and walked into a dark and mysterious environment.

"This does seem to be a relatively hidden stronghold."

Su Liyan looked around and said, "We have to be careful."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement and slowly went deeper into the cave.

At the same time, Lu Yuan left the secret room and embarked on a journey to Tianfeng City. He needed to purchase materials needed for alchemy.

Although he felt heavy-hearted about the difficult battle he was about to face, Lu Yuan still showed a calm and confident attitude.

However, on the way to Tianfeng City, Lu Yuan encountered some citizens who tried to intercept him, accusing him of being related to Tiansha.

These people believed that Lu Yuan was a traitor who was colluding with the evil cult forces and tried to stop him from moving forward.

After deep thinking, Lu Yuan decided to refute these groundless accusations with a firm attitude.

"You all misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

Lu Yuan's tone was firm and calm, "I have always been working for the welfare of the people in Jianghu."

He used one sentence to make the other party understand that he insisted on justice and kindness.

Gradually, the citizens began to doubt him and gave up questioning him.

After returning to Tianfeng City, Lu Yuan did not have time to rest for a moment before he encountered the same group of people who had caused trouble before.

This time they were even more arrogant and tried to attack Lu Yuan.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Yuan had to use the advanced magic he mastered, the "Five Elements Escape" and the "Tian Gang Big Dipper Formation".

As soon as the Five Elements Dunjia came out, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth condensed instantly.

The Tiangang Big Dipper Formation formed a powerful defensive barrier.

"Get out of here!" Lu Yuan's voice was majestic and cold.

His body flashed like lightning, and the Thunder and Fire Sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light.

As he leaped up, he easily repelled these people and warned them not to provoke Leihuo Dan Pavilion again.

After returning to Leihuodan Pavilion, Lu Yuan was questioned by an elder again.

The elder questioned why he was involved with the cult, but was eventually dispelled by Lu Yuan's brilliant answer.

"I understand the scrutiny the elders are putting on me."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "But please believe that in my heart, only the people of Jianghu will always be safe and sound."

The elders suddenly understood and expressed their understanding to Lu Yuan and let him go.

However, deep down, Lu Yuan felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He realized that even among his own students, misunderstandings and prejudices still existed.

"I've always been thinking about everyone."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

Lu Yuan successfully refined a batch of new elixirs, "Tian Gang Ju Yuan Pills", which were the result of his hard work and wisdom in Lei Huo Dan Pavilion. (End of this chapter)
