After a long time, Lin Yue still didn't come back.

Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy and said to his companions: "I always feel that something is wrong. We can't just sit here and wait for death."

The companions nodded in agreement. So, Lu Yuan and others decided to go out and look for Lin Yue.

They asked around in the town and finally found Lin Yue's whereabouts.

It turned out that after Lin Yue left the courtyard, he did not contact Ye Ling'er, but went to a mysterious place.

Lu Yuan and others quietly followed Lin Yue and came to an abandoned temple.

Lin Yue walked into the temple and met a man in black.

Lu Yuan and others hid in the dark and eavesdropped on their conversation. They only heard Lin Yue say, "Things have gone according to plan. They have believed what I said."

The man in black snorted coldly and said, "Well done. But you must remember not to let them ruin our plans."

Lin Yue nodded and said, "I understand, Master."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan and others finally understood that Lin Yue had been deceiving them all along. She was a spy sent by the man in black.

Lu Yuan rushed out angrily, pointing at Lin Yue and saying, "Lin Yue, you traitor, we were so blind to believe you."

When Lin Yue saw Lu Yuan and the others, his face turned pale and he said in panic: "Mr. Lu, why are you here? It's not what you think, I..."

Seeing this, the man in black flashed and prepared to flee. Lu Yuan would not let him escape so easily, so he immediately chased him. The two started a fierce fight in the temple.

The black-clad man was very skilled in martial arts, and Lu Yuan could not gain the upper hand for a while. At this time, Lu Yuan's companions also joined the battle and launched a siege against the black-clad man.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the man in black gradually revealed his flaws. Lu Yuan seized the opportunity and stabbed the man in black in the chest with a sword. The man in black screamed and fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan walked forward, took off the mask of the man in black, and found that it was a strange face. He turned his head, looked at Lin Yue, and said, "What else do you have to say now?"

Lin Yue said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Lu, I know I was wrong, and I was forced to do this. This man in black is the palace master's confidant. He threatened me that if I didn't do as he ordered, he would kill Ling'er."

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Yue, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that Lin Yue was used by the man in black just to protect Ye Ling'er.

"So what are you going to do now?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lin Yue raised her head, a determined look in her eyes, and said, "I want to save Ling'er. Even if I die, I want to be with her."

Lu Yuan was moved by Lin Yue's determination and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Lu Yuan and others decided to go with Lin Yue to rescue Ye Ling'er. On the way to the Nether Palace, Lin Yue told Lu Yuan and others in detail what she knew about the conspiracy of the Palace Master and Ye Ling'er's situation, and everyone felt more and more depressed.

When they arrived near the Nether Palace, they found a strange atmosphere around them. Lu Yuan stopped vigilantly and said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, the atmosphere here is not right."

The companions nodded and tightened their weapons. Lin Yue's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice, "We must be careful. The Palace Master is very powerful."

As they moved forward cautiously, they suddenly heard a sinister laugh echoing around them. "Hahahaha, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see the Nether Palace Master descending from the sky and landing in front of them. She was wearing a black robe, with a stern face and a sinister look in her eyes.

"Palace Master!" Lin Yue shouted in horror.

The Lord of the Netherworld Palace gave her a cold look and said, "Lin Yue, you did a great job in attracting them all."

Lu Yuan and the others realized that they had been in the Nether Palace Master's calculations all along. Lu Yuan looked at the Nether Palace Master angrily and said, "You are such a sinister and cunning woman, how could you set such a trap."

The Lord of the Netherworld Palace smiled slightly and said, "Lu Yuan, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your own identity. The blood of the Holy Son in you is too important to me."

Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "How do you know my identity?"

The Lord of the Netherworld Palace said proudly: "From the first time you appeared in front of me, I felt that there was something unusual about you. After investigation, I finally confirmed that you are the one with the blood of the Holy Son."

Lu Yuan's heart sank. He didn't expect that his identity would be discovered by the Lord of the Netherworld Palace so early. He knew that today's battle would be extremely difficult.

"Hmph, so what even if you know my identity? Do you think you can easily obtain my Holy Son's bloodline?" Lu Yuan snorted coldly and said fearlessly.

A gleam of greed flashed across the eyes of the Nether Palace Master, and he said, "None of you can leave here today. Just hand over the blood of the Holy Son."

After saying that, the Lord of the Netherworld Palace flashed and attacked Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was prepared and drew his sword to meet the enemy. The two of them fought together in an instant. For a moment, the sword energy was everywhere, and the surrounding trees and rocks were shattered by their powerful force.

Lu Yuan's companions also started a fierce battle with the men of the Nether Palace. Lin Yue stood aside, anxiously watching the battle between Lu Yuan and the Lord of the Nether Palace. She wanted to help, but she didn't know how to intervene.

In the battle with the Lord of the Netherworld Palace, Lu Yuan gradually felt exhausted.

He discovered that the Nether Palace Master's martial arts skills were even more powerful than he had imagined, and she seemed to be very familiar with his moves and could always easily resolve his attacks.

"How could this happen? Why does she know my moves so well?" Lu Yuan was full of doubts.

At this moment, the Lord of the Nether Palace suddenly used a strange sword technique. Lu Yuan was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the sword. His face became more solemn, and he knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would be defeated by the Lord of the Nether Palace sooner or later.

"Lu Yuan, stop struggling in vain. Your Holy Son's bloodline is destined to be mine." The Lord of the Netherworld Palace said proudly.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I won't let you succeed."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan raised his sword and slashed at the Nether Palace Master at an extremely fast speed. He could have subdued the Nether Palace Master in one fell swoop, but he didn't do that. He only hoped to use his last bit of strength to kill the Nether Palace Master and avenge his master.

The purpose of Lu Yuan doing this was actually very simple. He knew that he was not going to survive, but it was still a gain to be able to take someone with him before he died.

As for his body, he believed that the underlings of the Nether Palace would not waste resources and would definitely handle it properly. (End of this chapter)
