Chapter 435: This time, those who came were actually subordinates

I hope this exploration will bring gains and breakthroughs for each of us.

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that Lu Yuan and all the members are very important in the team.

Each person has their own strengths and value; only by cooperating during the exploration can we achieve the best results.

They began searching for treasures separately, helping each other, hoping to quickly find the treasure most beneficial to enhancing their own strength.

Every time they found and shared a treasure, it sparked excitement and curiosity among everyone.

This is an ancient book!

It records the ancient cultivation heart methods and techniques! Su Liyan said excitedly, showing the ancient book to everyone.

King Qi picked up another treasure and excitedly said, 'This is a spirit sword!'

It seems to match my immortal technique very well.

Gu Qingwan then selected a special herb from a pile of precious cultivation resources, looking at it and smiling: 'This is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient that can greatly enhance cultivation effectiveness.'

Lu Yuan also discovered an attractive inheritance treasure—the 'Taiji Heart Mirror'—this mirror can help him better master the Five Elements Heart Method.

They each brought back the treasures they found and began to study them carefully.

Although each person received their ideal reward, they knew that only through teamwork could they fully unleash the value of these treasures.

Lu Yuan passionately told his companions: 'We must continue to strive and explore every corner of this Flame Dragon Cave Heaven.'

'Only through cooperation and effort can we find more precious inheritance resources and improve our cultivation.' However, just as Lu Yuan and his companions each discovered their desired treasures and began studying them nearby, a sudden voice broke the tranquility.

Hmph, I didn't expect you to also find this place.

Lei Ling's voice came from the cave heaven, with a group of Golden Rainbow Sect disciples standing behind him.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened; he had long noticed that the relationship between Lei Ling and the Golden Rainbow Sect was not simple, and he didn't expect the Golden Rainbow Sect to appear here as well.

He tightly gripped the Fire Phoenix Feather in his hand, vigilantly watching Lei Ling and the Golden Rainbow Sect disciples.

'Lei Ling! What exactly is your purpose?' Lu Yuan asked, his eyes cold and resolute.

Lei Ling sneered: 'Our Golden Rainbow Sect naturally has our own purpose.'

'This cave heaven is not just your team exploring.'

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, sensing killing intent from all directions.

He followed Lei Ling's gaze and saw that the cave heaven was filled with Golden Rainbow Sect disciples lurking in the darkness.

Su Liyan tightly gripped the ice crystal in her hand, anxiously saying: 'Our situation is dire; they want to seize the treasures we found!'

A flash of determination crossed Gu Qingwan's face: 'We cannot let them succeed!'

'Everyone, protect the treasures in your hands and prepare for battle!'

King Qi straightened his chest, his expression stern: 'Even the Golden Rainbow Sect, don't think you can easily coerce us.'

'We have always united and cooperated; today is no exception.'

Everyone stared unwaveringly at the opposing Golden Rainbow Sect disciples, the air filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere.

At this moment, in this seemingly tranquil cave heaven, a fierce battle is about to erupt.

Lei Ling coldly scanned Lu Yuan's group, a flicker of greed in his eyes: 'I only tell you one condition: hand over the Fire Phoenix Feather in your hand and join the Golden Rainbow Sect.'

Lu Yuan curled the corner of his mouth into a cold smile: 'Rest assured, I will never lose to you!'

As his words fell, his body suddenly radiated brilliant light.

The Fire Phoenix Feather instantly turned into a blazing flame, enveloping Lu Yuan's entire body.

Immediately after, his figure rapidly expanded, becoming a lifelike giant fire phoenix.

The Golden Rainbow Sect disciples showed astonishment, never expecting that such a divine artifact would make Lu Yuan so powerful.

Watch out!

Lei Ling hurriedly warned everyone, he himself also secretly held the treasure—the Heavenly Gang Thunderfire Disk.

The battle erupted immediately, with both sides exchanging blows; for a moment, the cave heaven was filled with intense energy fluctuations and explosive sounds.

Lu Yuan transformed into a fire phoenix, controlling scorching power in the sky and continuously launching attacks at the Golden Rainbow Sect disciples.

Su Liyan turned ice into a sword, darting across the ground like wind, striking enemies precisely and swiftly with her Ice Crystal Sword Technique.

Gu Qingwan evaded enemy attacks with her agile body technique, then mobilized her cultivation and resources to launch a counterattack.

King Qi remotely controlled the spirit sword to hover in the air, emitting lightning-like sword qi that sliced the enemies into fragments.

In an instant, the cave heaven turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Seeing this, Lei Ling's face darkened; he realized he had underestimated Lu Yuan's group's strength. Gu Qingwan frowned, attempting to use the treasure 'Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin' to trap and burn the Golden Rainbow Sect disciples, but these opponents seemed to have prepared in advance.

They all dodged her attacks.

Lei Ling let out a roar, his body filled with anger and resentment.

He quickly charged at Gu Qingwan, smashing the Heavenly Gang Thunderfire Disk in his hand toward her.

Gu Qingwan nimbly dodged Lei Ling's attack and moved to the side.

'Lei Ling, don't you understand yet?'

'We have no intention of being your enemies.'

Gu Qingwan quickly thought about how to persuade Lei Ling to give up resistance: 'We are all treasure seekers, just with different goals.'

Lei Ling halted his actions, his angry expression gradually becoming complex.

He muttered softly: 'The Golden Rainbow Sect is the heir chosen by the Wheel of Fate!'

'You outsiders have no right to occupy what belongs to us.'

Seeing an opportunity, Gu Qingwan stepped forward and continued: 'Lei Ling, have you ever considered whether betrayal is worth it?'

'We can cooperate together, searching for treasures in this cave heaven to create a better future.'

Lei Ling glared at Gu Qingwan with hatred, lowly growling: 'I don't need your advice!'

'I only believe in the power of the Golden Rainbow Sect; only they can grant me greater strength.'

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but sigh, clearly feeling that Lei Ling had been deluded by obstinate ignorance.

She knew further persuasion would be useless, she resolutely picked up the Fobao "Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin" and launched another attack at the Golden Rainbow Sect disciple.

However, at that moment, Lei Ling lunged toward Gu Qingwan with a flying leap.

He waved the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Disk in his hand, which turned into a rain of fire in the air, attacking Gu Qingwan.

Seeing the danger erupt immediately, Gu Qingwan exerted herself to dodge Lei Ling's attack.

However, because her movement was too hasty, her foot slipped and she fell to the ground.

As she fell, the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin also fell to the ground.

The Golden Rainbow Sect disciple seized the opportunity to step forward, gripping the magical artifact in hand and smashing it toward the basin. (End of chapter)
