Chapter 476: A bunch of ants dare to deceive me!

Lu Yuan tightly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, his heart filled with confidence.

"No matter how strong you were in the past, you can only face defeat before me!"

As his words fell, dazzling lightning flashed upon the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

The two began a fierce battle.

Lu Yuan leapt into the air, using the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword to perform the Five Elements Escape Armor Immortal Method, blasting toward the Yin Sha Elder.

At the same time, Gu Qingwan used the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin to strengthen her domain control, sealing off the surrounding space.

King Qi raised the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, spinning it rapidly to form a golden light curtain that enveloped his teammates.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, dancing her posture, and launched a freezing attack before the Yin Sha Elder.

In the fierce battle, the Yin Sha Elder gradually fell into a passive state, the dark power within him being restrained by the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

He endured the pain, trying to counterattack, but Lu Yuan and his teammates' seamless coordination left him repeatedly futile.

The Yin Sha Elder angrily shouted, "You bunch of ants, dare to deceive me!"

His body surged with black aura as he roared and lunged at Lu Yuan, hoping to take him down in one strike.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, deploying the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

Bright starlight flickered across his body, forming a massive defensive shield.

When the Yin Sha Elder struck the shield, he was instantly rebounded.

Finally, under Lu Yuan's tense yet fierce assault, the Yin Sha Elder had no choice but to yield to the team's power.

He collapsed powerlessly to the ground, his murky aura gradually dissipating.

Gu Qingwan walked to Lu Yuan's side, her expression excited.

"We succeeded! You defeated the Yin Sha Elder!"

King Qi lowered the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, revealing a smile.

"You're truly amazing!"

"With you by our side from now on, we need never fear any enemy."

Su Liyan walked toward Lu Yuan, her face full of joy.

"Lu Yuan brother, you're truly fantastic!"

"We will always stay by your side, together overcoming any difficulty."

Lu Yuan felt his teammates' powerful gazes, and he took a deep breath.

"Thank you for your support; I will not disappoint you."

"We still have much to do, and we need to protect more people." Lu Yuan bore the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, silently gazing at his teammates.

They all stood beside him without hesitation, their eyes filled with admiration and trust for him.

This victory made him feel immense honor, and it strengthened his resolve in his mission.

Gu Qingwan pondered what the next step should be.

She realized that the team's power was still insufficient to face the greater challenges that might lie ahead.

"We have already defeated the Yin Sha Elder, but what should we do next?"

"We need more power and resources."

She glanced around, "The City Lord's Mansion surely still holds some secret treasures; if we can seize them, they could fund our future expedition into the Star Firefly Ancient Tomb."

King Qi nodded, "That's right."

"Thanks to everyone's efforts we were able to defeat the Yin Sha Elder this time; now we should make good use of this opportunity."

Su Liyan stroked the Ice Crystal Long Whip, "I can use the Ice Crystal Long Whip to locate secret treasures and freeze them."

"As long as everyone helps, we will surely succeed."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, deeply agreeing with his teammates' plan.

"Good! Then let's seize this victory's opportunity and search the City Lord's Mansion to our heart's content."

"But remember, we must be swift, lest other forces discover our presence."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They began walking toward the City Lord's Mansion, carefully avoiding patrolling enemies along the way. Everyone entered the City Lord's Mansion, searching everywhere for possible secret treasures.

Inside the mansion's spacious hall lay precious antiques and artifacts, making one feel as if they were in a treasure vault worth a city.

Gu Qingwan scanned the surroundings, her gaze settling on a map.

She walked over and carefully examined the locations marked on the map.

"According to the clues on this map, the Northern Border should be our next destination." She frowned, pondering.

Su Linglong walked to Gu Qingwan's side, curiously asking, "Is there any problem with the Northern Border?"

"Why do you look somewhat worried?"

Gu Qingwan sighed, "The Northern Border's terrain is complex and perilous, often haunted by cult forces."

"The Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect are both heretical forces; they worship the Red Lotus Old Ancestor and have long been opposed to us."

"I worry that if we go to the Northern Border, we will encounter greater trouble."

Su Linglong gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, "I understand your concern, but we cannot keep avoiding."

"I feel an inner yearning; I wish to follow you and face the unknown challenges together."

"I no longer wish to be confined within White Blossom Flower City."

Gu Qingwan gazed at Su Linglong's determined eyes, feeling the deep-seated yearning for growth within her.

"Alright, since you've decided, I will not stop you anymore."

"But we must act cautiously, protecting both ourselves and you."

Lu Yuan walked to Su Linglong's side, encouraging, "Su Linglong, I can see you have a unique affection and obsession for the Xiuzhen Jie."

As a teammate and close friend, I have decided to teach you some cultivation methods.

Su Linglong happily accepted Lu Yuan's suggestion.

Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Yuan!

I will give it my all and not betray your trust and expectations.

Lu Yuan smiled, took out a splendid stone from his bosom and handed it to Su Linglong, saying, 'This is a rare source stone called the Soul Spirit Core.'

It possesses unusually high purity of spiritual energy, and it greatly aids in cultivating ice-system immortal arts.

Next, you will form a bond with it and achieve greater breakthroughs in your cultivation.

Su Linglong held the Soul Spirit Core close to her chest, her heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

She knew that, with Lu Yuan's guidance and the empowerment of the Soul Spirit Core, she would be able to face more challenges and become a stronger being. Lu Yuan watched Su Linglong tightly hold the Soul Spirit Core, smiling encouragingly: 'Su Linglong, your cultivation path has just begun; I believe you can do it.'

Remember, no matter what challenges you face, always maintain a steadfast will to survive.

Su Linglong nodded, her eyes filled with determination and strength.

Thank you for your trust and support.

I will strive to become a stronger cultivator.

Gu Qingwan walked up to Lu Yuan and whispered, 'We don't have much time; the people of the Red Lotus Sect and Blood Moon Sect have likely noticed that we have entered the mansion.'

We must leave this place as soon as possible.

King Qi also stepped forward, gripping the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, and said, 'Nothing tests one's courage more than fleeing.'

But I believe that Lu Yuan and Su Linglong, you both have enough courage to face it. (End of chapter)
