Chapter 439: You've just been saved and you're already here?

Lu Yuan and King Qi entered the treasury together, arriving at a huge and tranquil space.

Countless precious spiritual elixirs and mysterious Fobao are stored here, dazzling the eyes.

Lu Yuan looked around curiously, and the sight almost made him drool.

"King Qi, look how many treasures there are here!"

"It's practically a paradise for cultivators." Lu Yuan whispered to King Qi.

King Qi approached Lu Yuan, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "Hey, look, behind me I have a special set of battle armor that lets me grasp and use profound immortal arts."

"Moreover, here I can obtain even more precious spiritual elixirs and Fobao to further enhance myself."

"That's great!" Lu Yuan was very happy: "Let's prepare more to deal with those evil cultivators!"

The two continued exploring the treasury, and Lu Yuan introduced King Qi to some matters concerning his identity and cultivation.

They exchanged cultivation insights and experiences, building deep trust and friendship between them.

The treasury was filled with permeating spiritual energy, treasures scattered throughout every corner.

Lu Yuan and King Qi together searched for suitable spiritual elixirs and Fobao for themselves; Lu Yuan was extremely interested in these treasures and longed for each one. Lu Yuan and King Qi continued searching the treasury for treasures, while on the other side, Lei Ling had already led his men in pursuit.

Their gaze lingered on a striking building—the Red Medicine Pavilion.

The pavilion was tinged with a faint blood-red hue, and around it exuded a rich herbal fragrance, giving a mysterious and alluring feeling.

However, for Lu Yuan and King Qi, the Red Medicine Pavilion was not merely an ordinary building.

"Brother, we'd better detour around the Red Medicine Pavilion."

"I have some grudge with the Red Medicine Pavilion; if they discover our whereabouts, it could cause bigger trouble." Lei Ling warned.

The Golden Rainbow Sect cultivator nodded, showing understanding, and led him to detour around the area where the Red Medicine Pavilion was located.

They carefully avoided that blood-red building and tried to stay as low-key as possible.

Shortly after they detoured past the Red Medicine Pavilion, at a corner, a cultivator in a red robe suddenly appeared before them.

He was indeed a master of the Red Medicine Pavilion.

Lei Ling furrowed his brow, intending to remind the Golden Rainbow Sect cultivator to leave quickly.

But it seemed already too late.

Lei Ling wanted to speak but held back, his expression becoming bewildered and complex. His brows remained tightly furrowed as he silently calculated the combat capability between himself and the Red Medicine Pavilion master.

Although the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator was not weak, Lei Ling was also not without equal.

He harbored killing intent, preparing to seize this opportunity to capture Lu Yuan in one fell swoop.

"Are you guys ambush attacking?" The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator's eyes were filled with anger and threat, his tone carrying strong provocation.

Lei Ling snorted coldly, mocking: "What are you Red Medicine Pavilion preparing to do? Do you still intend to block me?"

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator clenched his teeth, gripping the Fobao before his chest with both hands.

"Do you think we'll let you pass easily?"

The Golden Rainbow Sect cultivator sensed the tension in the situation and immediately drew his weapon.

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator showed a hint of a smug smile: "I know you are Golden Rainbow Sect masters, but capturing Lu Yuan won't be easy for you."

Upon hearing that, Lei Ling's heart stirred involuntarily and he couldn't help but laugh.

Lei Ling looked at the small box in the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator's hand that was emitting a red glow.

He knew it was filled with various precious pills and spiritual herbs.

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator coldly replied: "No matter how you intend to deal with Lu Yuan, before he enters the Red Medicine Pavilion, you cannot get past me."

A flash of cold light appeared in Lei Ling's eyes; he was very dissatisfied with the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator's arrogance.

"If that's the case, I'll take you down first and then talk!"

As Lei Ling's words fell, a fierce battle began.

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator and the other cultivators rushing out behind him engaged in a heart-pounding melee with the four from the Golden Rainbow Sect.

They exchanged blows and spells, fists and feet intermingling, erupting in piercing collision sounds and sparks. Lu Yuan's figure suddenly appeared beside the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator, his Wind Thunder Sword radiating a blinding light.

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators showed surprised expressions; they hadn't expected Lu Yuan to choose to stand on their side.

Lu Yuan stared at Lei Ling, firmly saying: "People of the Red Medicine Pavilion, we are on the same front."

"I will lend you a hand, together we will oppose Lei Ling!"

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators felt Lu Yuan's heart full of righteous determination, and their morale surged.

Meanwhile, Lei Ling watched as the situation before him gradually slipped out of control, his expression shifting unpredictably.

"Do you think you can turn the tide of battle?"

Lei Ling sneered, "Just you alone?"

Lu Yuan curled the corner of his mouth into a confident smile: "I am not alone."

As his words fell, countless sword lights flew from all directions.

These sword lights shot like lightning toward Lei Ling and the other Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators, cutting into the enemy ranks.

"Wind Thunder Sword!" the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

The Wind Thunder Sword is the Golden Rainbow Sect's supreme sword technique, formed by the fusion of wind and thunder powers.

It is extremely fast, its power unmatched, easily penetrating the enemy's defenses.

Lei Ling only felt his vision blur, then heard a sharp sword whistle from behind.

He quickly used his Fobao to dodge the incoming sword lights, but still a sword light sliced his left arm, blood instantly soaking his robe.

"Damn it!" Lei Ling roared angrily: "Are you going to team up with the Red Medicine Pavilion?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Confronting evil forces head-on is our responsibility."

"We won't stand by and do nothing!"

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators joined the fray between Lu Yuan and Lei Ling.

The three sides, morale high, launched a heart‑pounding great battle.

The scene instantly turned chaotic, flames spurting and lightning intertwining all around.

Fists and feet clashed, spells intertwined, sending out deafening collisions and explosions.

Lu Yuan brandished the Wind Thunder Sword, like a divine beast weaving through the battlefield, each strike capable of cutting down an enemy's life.

His figure was agile and swift, his steps steady, revealing his brave and fearless side.

The Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators were not to be outdone; they cooperated with Lu Yuan full of confidence, supporting each other, making their attacks stronger and more accurate.

Lei Ling, under the three‑way assault, gradually could barely cope.

He was forced to dodge everywhere, exerting all his strength just to avoid deadly blows.

Even so, he was still surrounded by the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators and Lu Yuan, unable to move an inch; Lu Yuan and the Pavilion cultivators engaged in fierce combat, flames and lightning intertwining on the battlefield into a magnificent sight.

They struggled to resist Lei Ling's demonic qi attacks, striving to keep their formation from being broken.

Although the Red Medicine Pavilion cultivators' cooperation with Lu Yuan put great pressure on Lei Ling, it was time to change the situation. (End of chapter)
