Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 130 Heretical Cultivator
All the second-tier wolf demons in the Red-Tailed Wolf Pack have been killed. Although the remaining first-tier wolf demons are not weak overall, they will not pose any threat to the Lu family.

Lu Wenxing had the Lu family cultivators emerge from the formation and attack the first-tier red-tailed wolves, mainly to use these wolves to train the combat abilities of the clan's cultivators.

After all, although the newly added cultivators in the family, such as Lu Chengbai, have reached the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, they have basically not experienced life-and-death struggles since they started cultivating.

The attack on the Red-tailed Wolf pack at Chiyan Mountain is a good opportunity to hone their combat skills.

After understanding Lu Wenxing's purpose, Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping immediately split up and entered the wolf pack. The two of them took turns killing the late-stage first-tier red-tailed wolves.

These red-tailed wolf demons are far too powerful. They are not very effective in training the combat abilities of the Qi Refining cultivators in the clan, and may even pose a danger to them. Therefore, there is no need for them to continue living.

Although Lu Chengbo and the other younger generation of cultivators in the Lu family did not know what the patriarch's purpose was, when they heard the patriarch order them to kill those first-tier red-tailed wolf demons, they did not feel any resistance. On the contrary, they were very excited and looking forward to it!

This was because they had just witnessed Lu Cheng'an slaying a second-tier red-tailed wolf demon, and the younger generation of cultivators in the Lu family seemed to have their blood ignited; they were extremely excited.

There were quite a few first-tier red-tailed wolves, far exceeding the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the Lu family. However, with Lu Cheng'an and his two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the rear, the large number of first-tier red-tailed wolves did not threaten the lives of the Lu family's Qi Refining cultivators.

After fighting the first-tier red-tailed wolf pack for more than half an hour, and with their mana in their dantian nearly depleted, Lu Wenxing ordered the Qi Refining cultivators in the clan to return and rest.

He, Lu Chengan, and Lu Chengping then attacked the red-tailed wolves again, quickly wiping out the entire pack.

These red-tailed wolves are all demonic beasts. Even a complete corpse of a first-order early-stage red-tailed wolf can be sold for six or seven spirit stones.

The pack of red-tailed wolves that attacked the Lu family's mountain gate numbered nearly a hundred, and almost none of them escaped.

Their corpses all fell into the hands of the Lu family. Once the situation in the Burning Flame Mountains calmed down, the corpses of these red-tailed wolf demons would bring the Lu family tens of thousands of spirit stones in income.

After all, there were four second-tier red-tailed wolf demons in the wolf pack. The corpse of just one second-tier mid-stage red-tailed wolf demon could fetch a high price of two thousand spirit stones.

This is also an important reason why so many cultivators entered the Burning Flame Mountains after the volcanic eruption.

Besides the various treasures that emerge from the volcanic eruption, many monsters are also forced to rush out from the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.

For some human cultivators who are confident in their strength, these demonic beasts are extremely precious treasures.

Of course, the main reason why the Lu family was able to gain such a great deal from the Red-tailed Wolf pack is that the Lu family is now powerful enough.

Otherwise, what would have brought the Lu family would not have been a bountiful harvest, but rather the tragic fate of being wiped out by the Red-tailed Wolf pack.

Lu Wenxing led Lu Wensheng and other senior cultivators of the Lu family to personally bring the corpses of the red-tailed wolf demons into the clan for safekeeping. Afterwards, he led them to clean up the traces of the battle at the foot of the mountain.

The focus was on cleaning up the bloodstains left behind.

The smell of this blood is too strong; if it is not cleaned up, it is very likely to attract other monsters.

Nearly two hours had passed by the time Lu Cheng'an and the others had cleaned up the traces of the battle at the foot of Chiyan Mountain.

Only then did Lu Wenxing order his men to return, and at the same time, he had Lu Chengping inspect the Purple Smoke Serpent Formation to prevent any mishaps.

Afterwards, Lu Wenxing summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivators and late-stage Qi Refining elders of the clan and held a simple clan meeting.

"We just received news that the Fire Bone Lizard, a demonic beast in the Burning Flame Mountains, has been slain by True Person Xuan Kong of the Heavenly Flame Sect after successfully breaking through to the third tier... Now, in addition to the demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains, the dangers facing our clan also include the evil cultivators who have appeared within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect..."

Lu Wenxing did not directly mention the Red-Tailed Wolf's attack on the Lu family's mountain gate. Instead, he used this opportunity to inform the Lu family's elder, who was at the late stage of Qi Refining, about the danger the Lu family was about to face.

"May I ask the clan leader, how strong are those heretical cultivators?" Lu Wensheng asked in a deep voice.

Lu Wenxing's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an.

He didn't know much about heretical cultivators; the information he had about them mostly came from Lu Cheng'an.

After receiving Lu Wenxing's gaze, Lu Cheng'an immediately said, "Those evil cultivators are very strong. Among them are many who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. The most powerful one is an evil sect called Wanling Sect."

"This time, a heretical cultivator from the Myriad Spirits Sect has entered the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect. His leader, named Elder Wanzang, is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and has slaughtered the entire Purple Bamboo Sect!"

The Purple Bamboo Sect is a cultivation sect within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect. This sect is very powerful, with two more Foundation Establishment cultivators than the Pill Cauldron Sect.

The Purple Bamboo Sect has two cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but both of them have been recruited by True Person Xuan Kong and have entered the Burning Flame Mountain Range to hunt demonic beasts.

Even so, the Purple Bamboo Sect still has a cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage in charge, and there is also a second-grade top-quality spirit array in the sect's mountain gate.

Even with such strength, the Old Man Wanzang led the evil cultivators to breach the gates of the Purple Bamboo Sect and slaughtered everyone in the sect.

The message was sent to Lu Cheng'an half an hour ago, and it has now spread rapidly throughout the Tianyan Sect.

This news caused a great shock within the Tianyan Sect!

The Purple Bamboo Sect is very powerful. Currently, there are few cultivation forces within the Tianyan Sect that are stronger than the Purple Bamboo Sect.

If the evil cultivator Wanzang were to attack them, they too would face the danger of annihilation.

It was precisely for this reason that the Foundation Establishment cultivators summoned by True Person Xuankong became anxious and wanted to return to their respective cultivation factions immediately.

They didn't want to end up like the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Purple Bamboo Sect, returning to find their sect destroyed and all the cultivators inside dead.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect who were summoned shared the same thought; they also wanted to return to the sect immediately.

"Cheng'an, is what you're saying true? The Purple Bamboo Sect was wiped out by evil cultivators?" Lu Wenxing exclaimed in shock.

This news was a huge shock to the Lu family cultivators. They were still basking in the joy of having just wiped out the Red-tailed Wolf pack, but now they felt no joy at all. "This is a message from Xu Shao of the Dan Ding Sect. You don't need to be so nervous. Although Elder Wan Zang is very strong, we must also be wary of the Tian Yan Sect. It's very likely that the heretical cultivators of the Wan Ling Sect have already left the Tian Yan Sect's territory!"

A smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face as he continued, "There is a second-grade high-quality Purple Smoke Serpent Formation in Chiyan Mountain. We can withstand even attacks from late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. If evil cultivators below the late-stage Foundation Establishment come to attack, we are very likely to kill them in return."

After fighting the Red-Tailed Wolf King, who was in the mid-stage of the second tier, Lu Cheng'an had a very clear understanding of his own strength.

Although his cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, relying on his high-quality mana and the techniques he has cultivated to perfection, he is in no way weaker than a cultivator at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Human cultivators are stronger than demonic beasts of the same level, but he was able to kill the Red-tailed Wolf King, who was in the middle stage of the second tier, very easily. If he put in a little more effort, killing a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage should not be a problem.

"That's right. There are definitely not many bandit cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm who have entered the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect. Otherwise, they would have already attacked the Foundation Establishment forces within the Heavenly Flame Sect's territory!"

Lu Wenxing laughed and said, "Our Lu family is protected by the second-grade high-quality Purple Smoke Serpent Array. Chengping is a second-grade spirit array master. With him activating the spirit array, we can definitely withstand the attack of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Lu Wenxing quickly regained his composure. He looked at Lu Wensheng and the other Qi Refining cultivators and asked with a smile, "Elder, how are the injuries of the clan's cultivators after fighting those Red-tailed Wolves?"

Lu Wenxing had the Lu family's Qi Refining cultivators fight against the first-tier Red-tailed Wolves mainly to train the strength and courage of the newly added Qi Refining cultivators in the clan.

Although he and Lu Cheng'an had been keeping an eye on the battles among the Qi Refining cultivators in their clan, they did not interfere too much.

Unless they are about to die or are seriously injured.

Therefore, both Lu Chengbo and Lu Jinglin, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, were injured, but their injuries were not serious.

If you take healing pills, you should be able to recover within a day at the latest.

Lu Wenxing was unaware of the information about those evil cultivators; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have done this.

"Jinglin and the others' injuries are not serious. I have already sent them back to their caves to recuperate. They should all be fully recovered by tomorrow!" Lu Wensheng replied.

Lu Wenxing nodded slightly. After briefly explaining a few things, he asked Lu Wensheng and the other elders at the Qi Refining stage to leave.

However, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Cheng'an, did not disperse. Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengping inquired again about the annihilation of the Purple Bamboo Sect.

Lu Cheng'an hadn't hidden anything beforehand; that was all the information Xu Shao had sent him.

After confirming that Lu Cheng'an did not have any further information, Lu Wenxing told Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an to prepare for battle, and then sent them back to their respective homes.

After returning to his cave, Lu Cheng'an was not too worried and immediately began to meditate and cultivate.

This stemmed from his confidence in his own strength. He thought as he said, and he was not worried about the attacks from the evil cultivators.

Time passed slowly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an received another message from Xu Shao, and the message was also related to the previous heretical cultivators.

The heretical cultivators have become even more rampant, and in the last day alone, they wiped out three Foundation Establishment forces.

These three Foundation Establishment forces are far weaker than the previous Purple Bamboo Sect. Their strength is comparable to that of the Lu family, with only one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge, and their cultivation levels are mostly in the early to mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.

The evil cultivators who attacked these Foundation Establishment forces were not as powerful as Elder Wanzang; at most, they only had the cultivation of the mid or late Foundation Establishment stage.

The closest Foundation Establishment power to the Lu family that these heretical cultivators destroyed was the Zuo Clan of Tong'an, a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan with a very long history.

They were once prosperous, with five Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge of the clan. But now the Zuo clan of Tong'an has declined, and only two Foundation Establishment cultivators remain.

The Zuo family of Tong'an is less than a thousand miles away from the Lu family. At the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they can arrive very quickly.

Among the Foundation Establishment forces around the Zuo Clan of Tong'an, there aren't many with the strength of the Zuo Clan of Tong'an; the Lu family is one of them.

Moreover, the Lu family was very famous among rogue cultivators because of the previous incident at Qingling Market. Now, those evil and bandit cultivators have wiped out the Zuo family of Tong'an.

If they don't leave now, the next target will most likely be the Lu family!

Xu Shao sent a message to Lu Cheng'an, telling him to be prepared. If the evil cultivators attacked the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an should do his best to save his life. With the talent Lu Cheng'an had shown, as long as he could survive, he would definitely have a chance to take revenge on those evil cultivators!

The reason why the heretical cultivators are so rampant now is mainly because after the Old Man of Ten Thousand Dirty Sect destroyed the Purple Bamboo Sect, the Heavenly Flame Sect did not react. Therefore, they dare to continue to attack the Foundation Establishment forces within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect.

Master Xuan Kong is still leading Foundation Establishment cultivators in the pursuit of the Earth Flame Python!
The Earth Flame Python's cultivation also broke through to the third rank, and it even broke through to the third rank earlier than the Fire Bone Lizard.

However, it possessed a rare treasure that concealed the signs of its cultivation breakthrough, which is why it was not detected by True Person Xuan Kong.

The Earth Flame Python possesses the bloodline of a dragon. After its cultivation broke through to the third rank, much of the dragon bloodline within it awakened, giving it a considerable chance to advance to the fourth rank of demon king in the future.

The Azure Lion Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains invested some resources in the Earth Flame Python. This time, two demon beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains broke through to the third rank at the same time, which was also the work of the Azure Lion Demon King.

The matter of slaying the third-tier Earth Flame Python was no longer something that Xuan Kong Zhenren and Tianyan Sect could decide. After learning about the Azure Lion Demon King's plan, the Desolate Ancient Sect issued an order to the Tianyan Sect to kill the third-tier Earth Flame Python in the Burning Flame Mountain Range no matter what.

There are already five demon kings in the Hong'e Mountains. If the Earth Flame Python were to grow to the level of a demon king, the situation of the Desolate Ancient Sect would become extremely dangerous.

Master Xuankong relayed the news of the evil cultivators causing trouble within the Tianyan Sect's territory to the other two Golden Core cultivators in the sect. Those two Golden Core cultivators immediately reported the situation of the Tianyan Sect to the cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

The Myriad Spirits Sect is an affiliated sect of the heretical sect, the Sacred Heart Sect. The Sacred Heart Sect is a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, even stronger than the Ancient Desolate Sect.

The Wanling Sect's evil cultivators, who are currently causing trouble within the Tianyan Sect's territory, are suspected by the Huanggu Sect to have been instructed by the Shengxin Sect.
