"It's time to turn our attention to the Ziyun family."

He decided, "We need stronger forces to deal with the crises that may arise next." ”

Lu Yuan sat in the secret cultivation ground of the Tiangang Mountain Range, and there was silence all around.

This is a place of refuge for cultivators, and although they are in the mountains, they can escape the hustle and bustle of the world.

Lu Yuan felt that his responsibility was heavy, and he knew that his actions had caused a chain reaction, bringing risks and distress to the Ziyun family.

He took a deep breath and settled down.

Suddenly, there was movement from the entrance of the training ground.

Not long after, Lei Juefeng hurried over and looked at Lu Yuan nervously.

"Lu Yuan! Are you okay! ”

Lei Juefeng's face was full of worry, "I just heard the news that you defeated Hong Splittian, and I'm worried that you will be injured. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head, "Don't worry about me, Lei Juefeng." ”

"I'm fine now." He reassured.

Lei Juefeng's expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head guiltily, "Didn't it because of my request for help that you were involved in this battle?" ”

"If it weren't for my personal affair involving you......"

Lu Yuan interrupted him, "Lei Juefeng, it's not all because of you. ”

"It is my duty to protect the Ziyun family and my companions, and I have voluntarily chosen this path."

Lei Juefeng raised his head, his eyes showing admiration, "Lu Yuan, you are a real hero. ”

"You are vital to the Ziyun family and to all of us."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Needless to say, there's so much we have to do."

"The Ziyun family faces greater danger, and we need stronger forces to protect them."

Lei Juefeng looked at Lu Yuan's firm and confident eyes, and endless emotion surged in his heart. Lu Yuan and Lei Juefeng stayed in the secret cultivation ground and began to discuss the next plan of action.

They knew that Hong Splittian's defeat was only a temporary victory, and some people in the Nine Great Families were dissatisfied with him and had secretly begun to plan to balance him.

As time passed, Lu Yuan realized that the situation was becoming more and more serious.

In order to strengthen his own strength and protect the Ziyun family, he decided to seek the help of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

On the other side, the meeting place of the nine major families - the Netherworld Valley.

The place was located deep in the mountains, sealed off by a thick layer of magical formations, making it almost impossible for the outside world to peek inside what was going on inside.

The Netherworld Valley is brightly lit, and some important members of the Nine Great Families are meeting here to discuss the recent blows suffered by the Ziyun Family.

Their countenances are solemn and cold, and their breaths are powerful and majestic.

Although they have not yet made a clear statement or taken action, they are jealous of Lu Yuan's ability and status.

I saw the Taishang Dao Ancestor holding the staff and slowly walked into the Netherworld Valley.

He raised his eyes and glanced around, then stopped at Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan."

Taishang Dao Ancestor smiled and walked towards Lu Yuan, "Your strength has already attracted a lot of attention and dissatisfaction. ”

"Now it's time for you to join the Star Mercenary Group to hide your identity and strengthen yourself."

Taishang Dao Ancestor continued to explain, "The Star Mercenary Regiment not only has all kinds of rare resources and huge wealth, but also many powerful immortal secrets waiting for you to master. ”

"Only under their protection can you better protect the Ziyun family."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, master, please guide me to the Star Mercenary Group." ”

Taishang Daozu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." ”

"I'll fix you a special ID card for you to use when you join the Star Mercenary Regiment."

"Now, let's get out of here."

Lu Yuan's heart swelled with endless emotion, and he knew that he was about to embark on a new journey. After leaving the Netherworld Valley, Lu Yuan followed the instructions of the Supreme Dao Ancestor all the way towards the headquarters of the Star Mercenary Group.

The headquarters of the Star Mercenary Regiment is located on the edge of a dense forest, covered with towering trees and vast meadows.

The sunlight in the sky shines through the gaps between the leaves and spreads on the ground, creating dappled and warm light and shadows.

Lu Yuan came to the gate of the Star Mercenary Group Headquarters.

A woman in black armor and armed with a spear, Li Ying, stood there waiting.

"Welcome back!"

Li Ying greeted Lu Yuan with a smile and saluted him.

"Li Ying, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Please take care of me." Lu Yuan said.

Along with Li Ying's pace, Lu Yuan and Li Ying walked into the headquarters of the Star Mercenary Group.

In a spacious and gorgeous hall, Lu Yuan saw two new team members.

A burly man with a huge axe, a heroic and mighty man.

The other is a petite and delicate woman with a bow and arrows and a smart eye.

"This is the Cold Blade of the Qinglong Tribe, and Xue'er of the Tianshan Clan, they are new members of our team." Li Ying introduced to Lu Yuan.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan smiled and shook hands with the two.

Leng Dao puffed up his chest: "Comrade Lu Yuan, please rest assured." ”

"With me, you won't be in any danger."

Cher also smiled and said, "We don't underestimate you like everyone else. ”

Lu Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a faint sense of danger.

He frowned: "Everyone, be careful, I think there may be an enemy attack." ”

Li Ying and the two new team members were unimpressed.

Leng Jian even smiled and said, "Comrade Lu Yuan, you are too careful." ”

"Here we are protected by the Star Mercenary Regiment, how can there be an enemy attack?"

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, he deeply understood that the sense of danger he felt was not unfounded.

They continued on their way, out of the hall of the regimental headquarters, and into the quiet forest.

At the edge of the forest is a dense and peaceful area, where the sun shines through the leaves, creating beautiful spots of light.

Birds sang merrily in the treetops, and the scent of flowers and grass filled the air.

However, Lu Yuan felt a strangeness.

He sensed that something seemed to be wrong around him, and a tense and heavy breath faintly came from the depths of the dense forest. Lu Yuan felt that the atmosphere around him was extremely tense, and he quickened his pace, leading Li Ying, Leng Blade, and Xue'er to quickly advance towards the depths of the forest.

As they crossed a dense wood, the sight in front of them made their hearts tighten.

In a wide clearing, a large and fierce group of wolf-tigers stood.

They are dressed in black and red fur and have a sparkle of crimson in their eyes.

This is exactly the Bloody Wolves, the demons who live on blood as food.

"These Blood Wolves are quite difficult to deal with."

Li Ying said vigilantly, "Not only are they large and powerful, but they are also agile and ferocious. ”

"But it's not enough to have us." (End of chapter)
