Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 133 Crisis Resolution and Family Development
The Fire Fiend Poison is extremely harmful to a cultivator's physical body, especially its ability to severely damage the cultivator's meridians.

Lu Cheng'an was willing to pay the price of serious injury in order to inject the Fire Fiend Poison into the body of the horned evil cultivator.

After Lu Cheng'an returned to the Purple Smoke Serpent Formation, Lu Chengping continued to manipulate the formation to attack the horned evil cultivator.

The Fire Fiend Poison took effect very quickly; in an instant, this deadly poison penetrated the horned evil cultivator's body and rapidly spread to his meridians.

Meridians are extremely important for cultivators, as they are related to the circulation of magical power.

Once the meridians are damaged, the cultivator's strength will be severely affected.

After sensing the changes in the evil cultivator with horns, Lu Chengping used all his strength to push the power of the Purple Smoke Mystic Serpent Formation to its limit.

After the phantom of the Xuan Snake spat out another purple ball of light, the evil cultivator with ram horns, due to damage to his meridians, was no longer able to resist the attack of the purple ball of light.

Moments later, this evil cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage died under the Purple Smoke Serpent Formation controlled by Lu Chengping.

"Cheng'an, you took a really big risk this time!"

After confirming the death of the last evil cultivator with horns, Lu Wenxing looked at Lu Cheng'an with a dark expression and said angrily, "Although we killed these four evil cultivators, we also paid an extremely heavy price."

The situation is still unclear. If the family is attacked again by evil cultivators, how will they defend themselves?

This time, they exhausted their family's resources to kill these four evil cultivators.

If we were to encounter another attack from a malevolent cultivator of this strength, let alone kill the attacker, we probably wouldn't even be able to stop them.

This would plunge the family into uncontrollable danger!
Even though Lu Wenxing had always thought highly of Lu Cheng'an, what Lu Cheng'an did still made Lu Wenxing extremely angry.

"Clan leader, you don't need to worry about encountering danger again. Before I went out to fight the evil cultivators, I received a message from Xu Shao. Now, True Person Xuan Kong has led the Foundation Establishment cultivators to kill the Earth Flame Python, and he has now led the Foundation Establishment cultivators back from the Burning Flame Mountains!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Master Xuankong is a Golden Core cultivator. The reason why the evil cultivators like Elder Wanzang dared to cause trouble within the territory of the Tianyan Sect was because none of the Golden Core cultivators of the Tianyan Sect were in the sect.

Now that True Person Xuan Kong has returned from the Burning Flame Mountains, a group of late-stage Foundation Establishment and Perfection Realm cultivators have also returned. If those evil cultivators still dare to cause trouble within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect, they will absolutely not be able to leave the Heavenly Flame Sect alive.

Even so, what you did was a bit too impulsive!

When Lu Wenxing learned that Master Xuankong was about to return from the Burning Flame Mountains, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he still disagreed with Lu Chengan's actions.

Lu Chengan's actions this time were far too dangerous; a slight misstep could have resulted in his death!

“I did act impulsively this time. I assure you, I will be more careful in the future,” Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.

He was confident in his ability to deal with those four evil cultivators.

Even if he couldn't kill those four evil cultivators in the end, he was confident that he could return to his clan safely.

Finally, at the cost of severe injury, he killed the evil cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, because he saw hope in killing that evil cultivator.

However, it must be admitted that his approach was indeed somewhat risky.

"It's good that you can remember it!"

Lu Wenxing sighed softly and said, "Let's hurry back to our cave to heal our injuries. Don't worry about anything else!"

"Then I'll head back to my cave first, clan leader!" After saying this to Lu Wenxing, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any more time and quickly returned to his cave.

Although Lu Chengping did not directly fight the four Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, he suffered a severe backlash when he used the array to attack the late Foundation Establishment evil cultivators.

After Lu Wenxing told Lu Cheng'an to return to his cave to heal his injuries, he immediately inquired about Lu Chengping's condition and then urged Lu Chengping to return to his cave to heal his injuries.

This time, the attack on the Lu family by the Foundation Establishment evil cultivators resulted in injuries to Lu Cheng'an and Lu Chengping, but the other cultivators of the Lu family were not seriously injured.

Lu Wenxing quickly left the Purple Smoke Serpent Formation and collected the corpses of the four Foundation Establishment evil cultivators.

Of course, the most important thing is their valuables.

These four evil cultivators were not weak; the leader's cultivation was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

They had been wreaking havoc within the territory of the Tianyan Sect for a long time, and it's easy to imagine how much wealth they had amassed.

Now all four of them have perished in the hands of the Lu family, and all the wealth they plundered has also gone to the Lu family.

After robbing them of all their valuables, Lu Wenxing did not open the boxes to inspect them directly, but instead sealed them away temporarily.

The Lu family was able to kill these four Foundation Establishment evil cultivators mainly because of Lu Cheng'an and Lu Chengping.

Both of them are currently in seclusion in their caves healing their injuries, so Lu Wenxing naturally cannot check the valuables on those Foundation Establishment evil cultivators by himself.

After returning to the formation, Lu Wenxing kept the Purple Smoke Serpent Formation active.

Master Xuankong led a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators back from the Burning Flame Mountains. The problem of evil cultivators within the Heavenly Flame Sect may be resolved, but the demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains still pose a danger of breaking out.

The Crimson Smoke Mountain and the Burning Flame Mountain Range are too close together, and the Lu family is still at risk of being attacked by the monsters in the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

Lu Wenxing quickly made arrangements for the cultivators in his clan. He instructed Lu Wensheng and other cultivators at the Qi Refining stage to patrol and monitor the area around Chiyan Mountain at all times to prevent the invasion of demonic beasts.

At the same time, he was also actively contacting cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect to investigate the situation in the Burning Flame Mountains and within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect.

Although Lu Wenxing's relationship with the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect was not as good as that between Lu Cheng'an and Xu Shao, their friendship was still quite good.

The information Lu Wenxing inquired about was not exactly a secret; he quickly learned the latest situation in the Burning Flame Mountains and within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect from the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect.

Both the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard successfully broke through to the third rank. Although they had made many preparations, they were still killed one by one by the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the territory led by True Person Xuan Kong.

Master Xuan Kong has been at the Golden Core stage for many years, and his strength far surpasses that of the two newly promoted third-tier demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard.

With the help of a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Xuan Kong Zhenren successfully killed the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard after expending some effort.

The Earth Flame Python and Fire Bone Lizard's breakthrough to the third rank consumed a significant amount of the Burning Flame Mountain Range's power.

After the two demons successfully broke through their cultivation levels, the volcano in the Burning Flame Mountain Range gradually stopped erupting and will soon completely subside.

Therefore, the situation that Lu Wenxing was worried about—the attack on Crimson Smoke Mountain by demonic beasts—would not occur again. This time, not only did the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, two newly promoted third-tier demonic beasts, die in the Burning Flame Mountain Range, but many first-tier and second-tier demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators in the Burning Flame Mountain Range also suffered heavy losses.

After the deaths of the two third-tier demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, they lost control over the first and second-tier demonic beasts and spirit cultivators in the Burning Flame Mountains.

Apart from a few low-intelligence demonic beasts that broke out of the Burning Flame Mountains, most of them went deep into the Burning Flame Mountains.

For a long time to come, the strength of the demonic beasts and spirit cultivators in the Burning Flame Mountains will not be able to recover.

Master Xuankong has now led the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Tianyan Sect back to the sect. After that, Master Xuankong will issue an order to exterminate the evil cultivators within the territory.

After killing evil cultivators within the territory of the Tianyan Sect, cultivators can claim rewards from the Tianyan Sect by presenting the corpses of these evil cultivators.

According to information obtained by the Dan Ding Sect, the Tian Yan Sect may offer Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward.

Whether this news is true or false, since the Tianyan Sect has issued a purge order, if those evil cultivators continue to stay within the Tianyan Sect's territory, it will be difficult for them to leave alive.

These messages completely put Lu Wenxing at ease.

The crisis has been completely resolved, and the Lu family has benefited greatly from it. The Lu family will now develop rapidly.

The Dan Ding Sect also knew about the attack on the Lu family by evil cultivators, and they inquired about the Lu family's situation.

Lu Wenxing did not tell the Dan Ding Sect the truth, only saying that they had blocked the attack of the evil cultivators, for which Lu Chengping and Lu Chengan paid the price of serious injury.

The Lu family only has three cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage. If the truth were to be revealed, it would surely cause unnecessary trouble.

To avoid trouble, the best way is to keep this information a secret.

Anyway, no cultivators outside the Lu family witnessed the Lu family killing those four evil cultivators. As long as the Lu family keeps this news secret, outsiders will not know the truth.

Before beginning his seclusion to heal his injuries, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Xu Shao to express his gratitude, and then briefly told Xu Shao about the Lu family's situation.

Lu Wenxing had already told Lu Cheng'an about this matter, so Lu Cheng'an's version of events was the same as Lu Wenxing's.

Time passed slowly, and more than three months went by in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping were seriously injured, and it took them three months of recuperation to fully recover.

Three months have passed, and the scourge of evil cultivators within the Tianyan Sect has been completely resolved, and the dangers within the Tianyan Sect have been completely eliminated.

Lu Wenxing had been keeping an eye on the situation of those heretical cultivators through the Dan Ding Sect. He learned from the Dan Ding Sect cultivators that the Tian Yan Sect had indeed offered Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward.

The only heretical cultivator who had revealed himself to be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage was Elder Wanzang, and the cultivators within the Tianyan Sect had not been able to find any trace of him.

Therefore, the standard set by the Tianyan Sect for obtaining Foundation Establishment Pills was the corpse of a heretical cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The evil cultivator with the ram's horn was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, but Lu Wenxing did not change his decision after learning this news.

After exchanging messages with Lu Cheng'an, he directly burned the corpses of the four Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, leaving no trace whatsoever.

After Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping recovered from their injuries, Lu Wenxing summoned them to his cave dwelling to hold a brief meeting.

"Cheng'an, Chengping, have you both recovered from your injuries?" Lu Wenxing asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Chieftain, all our injuries have been healed!"

After informing Lu Wenxing about their physical condition, Lu Cheng'an and the other person asked, "How has the situation been in the Burning Flame Mountains and within the territory of the Heavenly Flame Sect during this time?"

"I called you all here today to talk to you about these things!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an and the other man, saying, "Now all the evil cultivators within the territory of the Tianyan Sect have disappeared... There is no danger in the clan now, so the closed Qingling Mountain Market can be reopened. Chengping will continue to oversee the Qingling Mountain Market. What do you think, Chengping?"

Lu Wenxing's gaze fell on Lu Chengping, and he asked for Lu Chengping's opinion.

The Qingling Mountain Market also has a second-tier spiritual vein. Lu Chengping is stationed in the Qingling Mountain Market and only needs to be responsible for the market's security, not its operation.

Therefore, even if he is stationed in Qingling Mountain Market, it will not delay his cultivation.

Before the volcanic eruption of the Burning Flame Mountains, Lu Chengping was stationed in Qingling Mountain Market.

Now that the clan leader has asked him to continue overseeing the Qingling Mountain market, he has no objections.

After Lu Chengping agreed, Lu Wenxing's gaze fell on Lu Chengan, and he asked with a smile, "Chengan, have you been able to contact Zhu Yan? How is she doing now?"

Zhu Lu and the other six cultivators who were Fire-Repelling Earth Spiders were still on Red Smoke Mountain. They had inquired about Zhu Yan's situation from Lu Wenxing.

Lu Wenxing also sent a message to Zhu Yan, but did not receive a reply from her.

"I haven't received any messages from Zhu Yan, and I don't know how she is doing now."

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly and said, "I plan to take Zhu Lu into the underground lava river to search for news of Zhu Yan. If we really can't find Zhu Yan, I will help Zhu Lu and Zhu Yue break through to the second stage!"

Lu Cheng'an's desire to help Zhu Lu and Zhu Yue break through to the second stage was not out of kindness, but rather for his own and his family's own benefit.

After this battle, the demonic beasts and spirit cultivators in the Burning Flame Mountains were severely weakened. If the Lu family could cultivate beneficial allies in the Burning Flame Mountains, they would be able to seize the wealth within the mountains.

He could enter the Burning Flame Mountains, but his identity as a human cultivator was too sensitive.

Especially now, with two third-tier demonic beasts from the Burning Flame Mountains killed by True Person Xuan Kong, and a large number of demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators dying at the hands of human cultivators.

If he were to venture alone into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, he would surely face the furious retaliation of the demonic beasts and spirit cultivators within.

However, if he had a Spirit Clan cultivator like the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider, who came from the Burning Flame Mountains, to protect him, his actions would be much easier.

"Then you must be careful in your actions, and absolutely must not go deep into the Burning Flame Mountains!" Lu Wenxing instructed with concern.

"Don't worry, clan leader, I'll be careful," Lu Cheng'an replied with a smile.

Lu Wenxing nodded slightly and said, "I plan to go to Tianyan City to exchange the Foundation Establishment spiritual item, the Jade Heart of the Azure Spring, which is stored in the clan, for a wood-attribute Foundation Establishment spiritual item!"
