Chapter 445

Let's start now.

Gu Qingwan rolled up her sleeves and took out the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin: "I'll take charge of leading the way and protect everyone from being corrupted by the surrounding evil forces."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath to steady his surging emotions.

"Good." He gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, his expression resolute, "Let's begin."

Everyone sprang into action, scattering to carve symbols on the stone walls surrounding the Forbidden Mountain Range.

Lu Yuan held the Cold Jade Ice Shard lightly in his hand, moving with agile and precise Shenqi, interspersing nimble immortal arts among the symbols.

The cave abode was filled with a chill; the cold air brought a hint of freshness and tranquility.

Xueying vaguely sensed something amiss in the aura, his steps hesitating slightly.

The crowd moved in orderly fashion, the intricate and detailed symbol patterns completing on the stone walls.

Lu Yuan focused on carving every detail, sweat gradually soaking his forehead.

"Almost done!" Su Liyan exclaimed excitedly.

As the final symbol was completed, the entire Forbidden Mountain Range seemed to give birth to a mysterious power.

A faint light spread around the mountain range, like a protective net covering the skies above the Forbidden Mountain Range.

Lu Yuan exhaled in relief, sensing the unusual aura around him; he knew the Detection Technique had taken effect successfully.

"No matter how powerful the Red Lotus Sect leader is, he can no longer act freely." Gu Qingwan smiled broadly.

The group gathered together, gazing at one another, their eyes revealing composure and determination.

Although they faced the evil Red Lotus Sect, they had prepared for battle; Lu Yuan felt the power hidden within his body radiating outward as confidence and resolve.

He looked toward the center of the cave abode, smiling as he stepped forward.

The cave abode was filled with a turbulent aura, as if foreshadowing the impending battle.

Suddenly, Xueying and True Lord Po Tian emerged from the darkness, their gazes cold as they looked at Lu Yuan and the others, then laughed mockingly.

"Hahaha, Lu Yuan brat, do you think you can stop the Red Lotus Sect leader's resurrection with just a few immortal arts?"

"Absolutely ridiculous!" True Lord Po Tian sneered.

Xueying joined in the ridicule: "Yeah!"

"You mortals are nothing but ants before us, utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow!"

Lu Yuan wore a smile and did not retreat.

His gaze fixed firmly on the two enemies: "The resurrection of the Red Lotus Sect leader is destined to be impossible."

"I will do my utmost to defeat you!"

The crowd gathered around him; King Qi gripped the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel tightly, Gu Qingwan remained silent and composed, Su Liyan's gaze toward Lu Yuan brimmed with trust.

Their hearts were united, they supported each other, fighting for the common goal.

"Hehe, come on, let me see your so-called immortal arts!" True Lord Po Tian coldly laughed while brandishing his weapon.

Xueying suddenly accelerated, attacking Lu Yuan with the speed of thunder.

Black demonic energy surged within his body, filled with evil power.

"Take this!" Lu Yuan roared, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand emitting a blinding red light.

He showed no fear, gathering his strength and using the Five Elements Escape Armor Technique to dodge Xueying's attack in a flash.

The two clashed inside the cave abode, bursting forth with dazzling light as their magical powers intertwined.

The cave abode seemed about to be torn apart; scorching heat and freezing cold intertwined, forming a tremendous and terrifying pressure. The atmosphere inside the cave abode became unusually tense, the Red Lotus Sect leader's seal remaining their greatest hidden danger.

Although Lu Yuan and his companions had endured countless tribulations, they still dared not let their guard down.

They formed a circle around the Red Lotus Sect leader's seal, standing upon the energy-surge formation.

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath, silently exercising his immortal arts, employing the Five Elements Escape Armor Technique to reinforce the seal.

The Red Lotus Sect leader's immense power tried to break free, constantly pressing against the seal's edge.

Su Liyan's brow furrowed tightly; the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand emitted waves of cold under her control.

She fixed her gaze on the Red Lotus Sect leader's seal, and produced the treasure "Cold Jade Ice Shard".

This pair of treasures seemed to be the source of her power, granting her strong support.

King Qi was fully armed with the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

He spared no effort to achieve his goal, his eyes sharp as swords.

Everyone could feel his steadfast conviction; no matter the obstacle, he would advance fearlessly.

Gu Qingwan stood on the other side of the formation, a cluster of Phoenix Fire rising in her palm.

She gazed at the Red Lotus Sect leader's seal, her eyes revealing deep thought.

She was indifferent to fame and profit, but that did not mean she was apathetic about her mission.

The current situation made her feel helpless, yet all the more resolute.

Outside the seal, the ground inside the cave abode began to crack, malice and darkness surging forth simultaneously.

Suddenly, Xueying let out a painful roar.

The remaining demonic energy on his body was shattered by Lu Yuan's raised Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

Xueying's body trembled continuously as he painfully retreated several steps.

This unexpected turn disrupted their original plan, but also gave them a rare opportunity.

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yuan's mind; at the seal he found the Red Lotus Sect leader's power source—the Heavenly Spirit Crystal.

He steadied his mind, while swiftly repairing the seal's minute wounds, he reached out and gently touched the Heavenly Spirit Crystal floating above the seal.

A warm, mysterious power flowed into his body, making him feel clear and at ease.

Lu Yuan widened his eyes, discovering a mysterious bloodline flowing within his body.

This was a cultivation structure he had never seen before, enabling him to grasp and use immortal arts more easily.

Reinforcing the Seal with the Five Elements Escape Armor Technique

The Red Lotus Sect leader's seal was successfully reinforced, and Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then learned from King Qi and the others that they had found him with the help of the Golden Radiance Sect.

It seems we still need to make a trip to the Golden Radiance Sect to repay our reunion.

Lu Yuan and his companions again arrived at the Golden Radiance Sect and had an audience with the Golden Radiance True Lord.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to ask what he could do to repay the Golden Radiance True Lord, but the Golden Radiance True Lord instead hoped they could go to a certain place—

The Black Flame Sect-controlled Gloomy Mountain Range. Lu Yuan and the Golden Radiance True Lord arrived at the Gloomy Mountain Range, which is a gloomy and terrifying place, with a thick dark aura permeating the surroundings.

Lu Yuan's heart was filled with longing for the Primordial Divine Platform; he knew that only by finding it could he undo the Red Lotus Sect leader's seal.

However, just as they were preparing to begin searching for clues, a group of people clad in black robes suddenly appeared before them.

They wielded the Black Flame Sect's unique black flame staves, their aura both menacing and ruthless.

"Hmph! Who are you?"

"How dare you intrude on our Black Flame Sect's territory!" True Lord Po Tian said coldly.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, his body hovering in midair.

His eyes flashed like lightning, ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any moment.

The Golden Radiance True Lord likewise did not show weakness; the Ethereal Immortal Sword in his hand shimmered with a soft light. (End of chapter)
