Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After the Yin Hua Sect's flying treasure ship arrived at Black Rock City, it did not continue its journey to the Yin Hua Sect, but instead stayed in Black Rock City, waiting for the return of Hong Ying Yuanjun and the others.

Hongying Yuanjun received a message from Qingyunzi and Bailanghuang, instructing her to lead her people away from Qianyuan Prefecture temporarily to avoid further ambushes by demonic cultivators.

They are further away from Blackrock City, so they have not yet arrived there.

After Yin Huazong's treasure ship entered Black Rock City, Lu Cheng'an and the others all disembarked from the treasure ship and entered Black Rock City.

There are fifth-order spiritual veins within Blackrock City, making the environment here much better than on the treasure ship.

Lu Cheng'an was a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect, and Xian Yun was an outside aid sent by the Yun Hai Sect. The two of them had the most serious injuries.

Therefore, after entering Black Rock City, the two did not pay attention to anything else. After saying goodbye to the Nascent Soul cultivator of Yin Hua Sect, they each went into their caves to continue to treat their injuries.

The speed of the Yu Ling Sect's flying treasure ship was quite fast. Not long after the Yin Hua Sect's flying treasure ship arrived at Black Rock City, the Yu Ling Sect's flying treasure ship also arrived.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, including Hongying Yuanjun, were not seriously injured. After entering Black Rock City, they began to inquire about the specific events that had occurred at Golden Cauldron Mountain from Xuanxu Daoist and the others.

The injuries on Xuanxu Daoist and his two companions were also quite severe. Knowing that Hongying Yuanjun and the others were about to arrive in Black Rock City, they did not enter the cave to heal their wounds, but instead waited for them to return.

"Sect Leader Yun is probably already aware of the Blood Sun Demon Lord's matter. Now, I will explain to you fellow Daoists why we were able to withstand the Blood Sun Demon Lord's attack. The main reason is our Yin Hua Sect's guest elder, Lu Cheng'an..."

Xuanxu Daoist made no secrets and told Hongying Yuanjun and the others everything that had happened at Jinding Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxu isn't lying, is he? Lu Cheng'an only has the cultivation of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Can he really kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? And can he withstand the Blood Sun Demon Lord's Blood Sun Divine Power without dying?" Su Anyi, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, asked with great doubt.

They also knew something about the Blood Sun Demon Lord, and they were well aware of the formidable power of the Blood Sun Divine Ability.

Let alone Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level of only the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, even if he had the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it would be difficult for him to withstand it.

Not only Su Anyi had doubts, but Hongying Yuanjun also doubted the authenticity of this matter.

"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Elder Xianyun about the situation when he comes out of seclusion!" Xuanxu Daoist said somewhat helplessly.

He wasn't angry because he fully understood how Su Anyi and the others felt.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have doubted the authenticity of this matter.

"Gentlemen, the three of us are also seriously injured. Now that you have returned to Blackrock City, we can focus on treating our injuries!" Xuanxu Daoist said with a smile.

Hongying Yuanjun also saw the situation of Xuanxu Daoren and the other two, so she did not stop them from going back to recuperate.

While Xuanxu Daoist and the others were healing, Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain launched their fiercest attack on Yuanshui Demon Sect.

Currently, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their respective realms is equal, but the number of Nascent Soul cultivators at the early, middle, and late stages in the three states of Yunhai Prefecture is significantly greater than that in Qianyuan Prefecture.

This is mainly because after the Demon Hunting Ranking was released, cultivators from the three states of Yunhai Prefecture exchanged some precious resources to aid their cultivation, and many Nascent Soul cultivators have made breakthroughs in their cultivation.

However, it is practically impossible for Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain to completely annihilate Yuanshui Demon Sect, since Yuanshui Demon Sect is not weak.

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

At this time, the cultivators from Mingyue Mountain and Yunhai Sect withdrew from Qianyuan Prefecture. For the past three years, they had been continuously attacking Yuanshui Demon Sect, but failed to destroy it.

Of course, they did achieve something in these three years; this time they killed more than twenty demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, these Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators are mostly in the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm. The late-stage Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators have too many ways to protect themselves, making it extremely difficult to kill a cultivator at this level.

Of these twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators, only two were at the late Nascent Soul stage.

For this, Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain also paid a price, losing four cultivators at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

The three years of continuous fighting have taken a heavy toll on Yunhai Sect, Mingyue Mountain, and Yuanshui Demon Sect.

Now that the Yuan Shui Demon Sect has completely closed its gates, Qing Yunzi and the White Wolf Emperor, after some discussion, finally decided to lead the cultivators from the three states to withdraw from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect.

Although the strength of the three states has improved considerably, it is still not enough to annihilate the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan State.

The battles of the past three years have greatly weakened the strength of the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture. From now on, it will be much more difficult for the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture to pose a threat to them, and the cultivation environment in the three prefectures will be much better in the future.

After Qingyunzi and the White Wolf Emperor ordered a retreat, the cultivators dispatched by Tianyun Shangren and others also returned to their respective places.

After the cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture withdrew to Black Rock City that day, they did not return to their respective sects, but remained in Black Rock City.

Afterwards, Hongying Yuanjun received another order from Qingyunzi and Bailanghuang, instructing her to lead the cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture to break through the gates of the Wang clan of Jinding Mountain and completely annihilate this demonic force.

By then, the injuries of Xuanxu Daoren and other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect had mostly healed. After receiving orders from Hongying Yuanjun, they had no choice but to lead the Yin Hua Sect cultivators to Jinding Mountain once again.

This time, neither Lu Cheng'an nor Xianyun participated; the two of them stayed in Black Rock City to recuperate from their injuries.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Dreamland, including Red Cherry Yuanjun, did not say much about this.

Because they were able to kill the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang clan before, they had to rely on Lu Cheng'an and Xianyun.

The Crimson Cherry Blossom Sovereign led the cultivators of Dreamland to Mount Golden Cauldron, and quickly conquered it.

This is because when they arrived at Jinding Mountain, only the clan leader Wang Yuhua remained of the entire Wang clan of Jinding Mountain.

After the Yin Hua Sect cultivators retreated that day, the Blood Sun Demon Lord told Wang Yuhua that Jin Ding Mountain might be attacked by Meng Yuan Prefecture again, and told Wang Yuhua to prepare in advance.

Blood Sun Demon Lord did not hold a grudge against Wang Yuhua. After saying goodbye to Wang Yuhua, he left Jinding Mountain and returned to Yuanshui Demon Sect.

Wang Yuhua took the Blood Sun Demon Lord's warning to heart. After the Blood Sun Demon Lord left, he began to have the Wang family members disperse and enter the depths of Qian Yuan Prefecture.

However, Wang Yuhua did not leave Jinding Mountain. He wanted to find out whether Mengyuan Prefecture would really launch another attack on their Wang family.

Jin Ding Mountain is the foundation of the Wang family. Three of the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang family have already perished. If they lose the foundation of Jin Ding Mountain, the strength of the Wang family will be weakened again.

Therefore, Wang Yuhua chose to stay at Jinding Mountain. However, upon sensing the return of Hongying Yuanjun and other cultivators from Mengyuan Prefecture, he didn't hesitate. After destroying the teleportation array on Jinding Mountain, he quickly left. Wang Yuhua knew very well that he alone could not possibly be a match for the group of Nascent Soul cultivators from Mengyuan Prefecture.

After Wang Yuhua left Jinding Mountain, Hongying Yuanjun immediately led the cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture to occupy Jinding Mountain.

The Wang family of Jinding Mountain is not weak, with a total of four cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

The Wang family cultivated a total of four fifth-order demonic veins in Jinding Mountain. The demonic energy nurtured within these veins was suitable for demonic cultivators.

Demonic veins should not appear in the Xuan Chen Realm. The demonic veins that have appeared in the Xuan Chen Realm now are all transformed by those demonic cultivators using demonic transformation arrays.

A set of demonic arrays that can transform fifth-order demonic veins is quite valuable. Before leaving Jin Ding Mountain, Wang Yuhua dismantled all the demonic arrays on Jin Ding Mountain.

After losing the transformation effect of the demonic array and the control of the demonic cultivators, the demonic veins on Golden Cauldron Mountain, outside the influence of the Xuan Chen Realm, will slowly transform back into spiritual veins.

Wang Yuhua was capable of destroying these demonic veins, but he didn't do so not because he wanted to lead the Wang family back to fight again.

However, damaging high-level spiritual veins in the Xuan Chen Realm would have extremely serious consequences. Once a cultivator damages a high-level spiritual vein, he is likely to be rejected by the Xuan Chen Realm and will encounter danger in a very short time.

The demonic cultivators of the Xuan Chen Realm only transform spiritual veins into demonic veins; they do not dare to destroy them directly.

After Hongying Yuanjun led the cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture to seize Jinding Mountain, they quickly inspected the entire mountain.

Wang Yuhua left nothing behind before leaving. Although the cultivators, including Hongying Yuanjun, easily captured Jinding Mountain, they gained nothing.

Hongying Yuanjun then informed Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain about their capture of Jinding Mountain, awaiting Qingyunzi and Bailanghuang's next instructions.

Qingyunzi and the White Wolf Emperor instructed Hongying Yuanjun to lead the cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture to temporarily remain at Jinding Mountain, awaiting further arrangements.

Mount Jinding has four fifth-order demonic veins and a large number of spiritual veins below the fifth order, making it a blessed land for cultivation.

Now that Jin Ding Mountain has been conquered by cultivators from Mengyuan Prefecture, including Hong Ying Yuanjun, this area belongs to Mengyuan Prefecture and cannot be returned to the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

However, despite the favorable conditions at Jinding Mountain, there is still a very serious problem: it is too close to Qianyuan Prefecture.

If any Nascent Soul cultivator were to occupy Golden Cauldron Mountain, they would likely be attacked by demonic cultivators from Qian Yuan Prefecture.

At that time, Mingyue Mountain and Yunhai Sect were still attacking Yuanshui Demon Sect and had not considered the allocation of Jinding Mountain. Therefore, they simply asked Hongying Yuanjun to stay at Jinding Mountain temporarily until their attack on Yuanshui Demon Sect was over.

After the cultivators from Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain abandoned their attack on Yuanshui Demon Sect, they also sent a message to Hongying Yuanjun, asking her to temporarily lead the cultivators from Mengyuan Prefecture back, and then discuss the issue of Jinding Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I heard from the sect that they intend to allocate Golden Cauldron Mountain to rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, half of the resources will be provided by the higher authorities to transform the demonic veins of Golden Cauldron Mountain. The rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage will only need to pay half the fee to occupy this blessed land!"

"You can think about it now. If you have any ideas, send me a message as soon as possible, and I will help Fellow Daoist Lu take over Golden Cauldron Mountain," Xianyun said with a smile.

After three years of recuperation, Xianyun's injuries have healed considerably.

However, due to the severity of his injury that day and his advanced age, he has not fully recovered to this day.

What he said was indeed the meaning of the Yunhai Sect.

This time, the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture did indeed seize some territories like Jinding Mountain from Qianyuan Prefecture. They only need to transform the demonic veins on it into spiritual veins to turn it back into a blessed land suitable for righteous cultivators.

However, these areas, like Jinding Mountain, are located deep within Qianyuan Prefecture. Occupying such territory would make one highly vulnerable to attacks from the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

Mengyuan Prefecture is the weakest of the three prefectures. Apart from Lu Cheng'an, a rogue Nascent Soul cultivator, there are no other rogue Nascent Soul cultivators.

Xianyun also relayed Lu Chengan's performance at Jinding Mountain that day to the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and Yunhai Sect intended to hand over Jinding Mountain to Lu Chengan.

Of course, the main purpose of these Nascent Soul sects was to have rogue Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Cheng'an guard the gates of the three states and monitor the situation of demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan State.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Xianyun. I will give this matter serious consideration!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He had known about this news for a year, and it was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect who told him.

Lu Cheng'an has been thinking about this for a year, but he still hasn't made a decision.

If he were alone, being stationed at Jinding Mountain would not be a bad thing for him.

If the fifth-order demonic vein of Jinding Mountain is successfully transformed into a spiritual vein, it will indeed be a treasure land for rogue cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he was not alone. He planned to take advantage of the calm after the battle between the demonic cultivators of the three states of Mengyuan and Qianyuan to return to his family through the Yin Hua Sect's interdimensional passage.

This round trip might take a lot of time, and Yunhai Sect and Mingyue Mountain certainly wouldn't give him that much time to consider.

Lu Cheng'an planned to return to the Yin Hua Sect and discuss with Tianyun Shangren and other cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect how long it would take to make a final decision on the allocation of Jin Ding Mountain.

If he couldn't wait, he would give up on Jinding Mountain.

"This is something we really need to think about carefully!"

Xianyun sighed softly. He didn't know Lu Cheng'an's true thoughts, but guessed that Lu Cheng'an might think that the location of Jinding Mountain was too dangerous.

"I'll be heading straight back to my sect from Blackrock City. If you have time, Fellow Daoist Lu, feel free to come visit me at Cloud Sea Sect. I'll definitely treat you well!"

Xianyun didn't say much. After telling Lu Cheng'an about this, he left Black Rock City and headed towards Cloud Sea Sect.

After Xianyun left, Hongying Yuanjun instructed the three sects of the Yuling Sect to each leave behind a cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to guard Black Rock City, while the remaining cultivators could return to their respective sects.

Li Yuan remained in Black Rock City, while Xuanxu Daoist led Lu Cheng'an and other cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect back to the sect.

When the flying treasure ship arrived at Yin Hua Sect, Master Tianyun had already returned to Yin Hua Sect first.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I heard from Junior Brother Xuanxu and the others that I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the entire Yin Hua Sect!"

The moment Master Tianyun finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Lu Cheng'an. (End of Chapter)
