Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the teahouse, and in front of him was a spacious and bright hall.

A purple curtain hung from the tall and luxurious ceiling, filled with monks enjoying wine and refreshments.

He noticed a chessboard for people to play on in the far corner of the hall.

An old man and a young man are competing.

Lu Yuan glanced around, but did not find any trace of Su Liyan.

He decided to find a seat and wait.

Just as Lu Yuan wanted to sit down, a crisp and pleasant voice came from the corner: "Lu Yuan, please come here." ”

He looked to the place where the voice was, and saw Zi Xi'er sitting in a corner.

She was dressed in a lilac dress, revealing elegance in her gestures.

Like the most dazzling dancer in the city.

Lu Yuan walked over quickly and sat down beside her.

"Zi Xi'er, what's the matter with meeting today?" Lu Yuan asked.

Zi Xi'er smiled slightly, her eyes were like stars: "Lu Yuan, there is something I've been thinking about recently. ”

"The forces of the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect seem to be thriving around us."

"They're hiding in the shadows, and it's hard for us to get accurate information."

Lu Yuan nodded and listened carefully to her words.

Zi Xi'er continued, "Our clan has a huge intelligence network, but in the past, we only used it to protect the clan itself, and we didn't think about it outside. ”

"I think that if we can use this advantage to collect the movements of the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect, we will be able to react in time and protect the family."

Lu Yuan thought about it and responded: "You're right. ”

"Intelligence is essential to plan ahead."

"Perhaps we can send an elite team to scout the enemy's raid routes and pass the gathered information back to the family."

Zi Xi'er's pupils shrank slightly, "It's a good idea to send an elite team. ”

"They can use the power of your combination to probe dangerous paths and send back critical information."

"That way, we can better worry about the safety of our family."

Their conversation took place softly in the teahouse.

Zi Xi'er raised her head high, and there was a look of determination on her face.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to continue the discussion, a family elder hurriedly walked up to them: "Lu Yuan, Zi Xi'er, something important has happened in the Ziyun family, please go to the secret meeting hall of the Ziyun family immediately." ”

Hearing the news, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er immediately got up.

They couldn't help but look around, and all the cultivators in the city were talking.

Apparently, the news has already spread.

Entering the secret council hall with the family leaders, Lu Yuan saw that some important people had gathered in the room, including some powerful and deep battle elders.

Zi Cuiling seems to be graceful, and her eyebrows reveal extravagance and contempt.

She was the leader of the Ziyun Clan, and for the herald signal she sent, so many elders and family members would come to participate.

"Does anyone know the purpose of our gathering?"

Zi Cuiling looked around, expecting the response of everyone around her.

After a few moments, no one dared to speak.

At this time, Lu Yuan stood up: "I heard that someone is plotting to raid our family?" ”

Everyone was shocked and woke up.

Zi Cuiling ordered with a restrained expression: "We must get the information as soon as possible to stop their plan. ”

Lu Yuan said: "I propose to send an elite team to probe the enemy's possible raid routes. ”

"At the same time, you can consider using the advantages in the family to collect the movements of the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect."

Zi Cuiling nodded solemnly: "Good idea." ”

"Lu Yuan, you and Mo Di lead the elite team to be in charge of this mission."

In the deepest part of the Firmament Temple, Hong Split Heaven stood in front of Lu Yuan and gave him a detailed introduction to the secret operation that the Ghost Sect was about to launch.

His voice was low and firm, revealing a sense of determination and crisis.

"Lu Yuan, the Ghost Sect plans to raid our Purple Cloud Family's secret council chamber."

A solemn look appeared on Hong Splittian's face, "They are going to use necromancy to create chaos, and I am afraid that my life will be in danger. ”

Lu Yuan frowned and thought about it, and said to Hong Splittian, "This plan sounds quite dangerous. ”

"That's why I need your support."

Hong Splittian's expression was firm, "I know you're good at thunder and lightning immortal techniques and exploration techniques, which will be very helpful to our plans. ”

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "I can provide you with a batch of special necromantic runes, which can enhance the power of your necromantic spells." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Hong Splittian's eyes: "Thank you very much!" ”

"That way, we have a better chance of winning in the operation."

Lu Yuan thought about how to combine the talisman with the power of thunder and lightning to make it more powerful.

He knows it's a very difficult challenge, but he believes he can find a solution.

Hong Litian looked at Lu Yuan's expression and couldn't help but feel pleased.

He knew that with Lu Yuan's help, their chances of winning against the Ghost Sect would be greatly increased.

"Thank you for your support, Lu Yuan."

Hong Splitian said gratefully, "We must act as soon as possible. ”

Lu Yuan nodded firmly: "I will complete the Necromancy Rune as soon as possible and consider how to combine it with the power of thunder and lightning." ”

The two shook hands tacitly, and from each other's eyes, they saw their determination to take on common challenges in the future.

Just as they were about to leave the Firmament Temple, a sudden ghostly aura suddenly filled the air.

"They've found us!"

Hong Litian's face changed, reminding Lu Yuan.

With this ghostly aura, a group of black-clothed people quietly appeared in the temple.

Each of them wore masks with huge black animal heads, and it was impossible to tell who they really were.

Lu Yuan tightly held the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand and stared at the man in black.

Hong Splitting Heaven raised the wrath staff in his hand, emitting a faint ghostly light.

"We can't let them ruin our plans!" Hong Splittian's face was full of determination.

Lu Yuan's heart was full of fighting intent, he knew that only by defeating this group of people from the Ghost Sect could he protect himself and his family.

The two of them launched an attack on the man in black together, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and intense.

They intertwine at lightning speed, and every swing is a flash of sparks and thunder.

Lu Yuan, who was athletic and had a sword light like lightning, and Hong Cracked Heaven, who wielded his staff and released the power of ghosts, formed an insurmountable barrier.

The Man in Black was besieged inside the temple and was visibly suppressed.

As the bell rang through the depths of the Firmament Temple, Lu Yuan and Hong Splittian teamed up to defeat the last man in black.

In a hidden space near the Heavenly Court, Taishang Dao Ancestor and Lu Yuan stood face to face.

Taishang Dao Ancestor's gaze was profound, revealing a solemnity and mystery. (End of chapter)
