Chapter 524: Really, Won't There Be Retaliation?

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lu Yuan slowly walked into the meeting room.

He exuded a solemn and imposing aura, causing everyone present to stare.

"Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!" Luo Fengyun's face showed surprise; they had always thought Lu Yuan was an ordinary member of the Ziyun Clan and never imagined he was so important.

He hastily rose and bowed, saying, "We are overwhelmed by the Ziyun Clan's predicament; do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, his eyes revealing confidence and resolve.

"The traitors of the Ziyun Clan may be cunning, but they cannot outcalculate me."

"I have already destroyed the cultivators of those hostile sects; they can no longer threaten the Ziyun Clan."

Everyone who heard it was shocked and admiring.

Xie Jianxin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu Yuan, how did you manage all this?"

"Such strength is simply unbelievable!"

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, displaying a solemn and imposing demeanor as he held the thunder essence in his hand.

"I have mastered profound immortal arts, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, and I am also skilled in setting up detection techniques."

"Together with my weapon, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, I can easily destroy hostile forces."

Everyone who heard it was dumbfounded; they could not imagine Lu Yuan wielding such immense power.

Zi Cui Ling looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes flashing with pride. "Lu Yuan, what tremendous strength you possess!"

Zi Cui Ling showed a hint of astonishment, yet seemed somewhat hesitant. "But you slaughtered the hostile sect's cultivators inside Thunder Valley—such methods..."

Lu Yuan calmly looked at Zi Cui Ling without concealment. "Fairy Zi Cui Ling, the situation was extremely urgent then; I could only resort to this to protect the clan members."

"If I hadn't done so, I feared more sects would take revenge on us."

Zi Cui Ling fell silent for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment. "Sorry, Lu Yuan."

"I had wrongly blamed you before."

"Now it seems your actions, though somewhat extreme, were also for the clan's sake."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. "When the Ziyun Clan is in dire straits, we need someone who can boost morale and lead us to rebuild the clan."

The leaders of the various sects also gradually relaxed.

Luo Fengyun regained his composure. "Brother Lu Yuan truly is a hero among youths!"

"Regarding the affairs of the Ziyun Clan, I will fully support you."

Other sect leaders likewise expressed their agreement.

They saw Lu Yuan's strength and also felt his sense of responsibility and wisdom behind it.

Zi Cui Ling rallied herself, her heart firm in resolve. "Lu Yuan, you are the hope for the Ziyun Clan's reconstruction."

"From now on, I will give you my full support."

"If you have any needs, just speak up."

Lu Yuan smiled and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Fairy Zi Cui Ling, for your support; I will do my utmost to rebuild the clan and let the Ziyun Clan rise again."

"Good!"

Zi Cui Ling's eyes were firm. "I believe you can do it."

"Lu Yuan, for our clan and justice, let us fight together!"

Her words were filled with determination and strength, like a clear spring flowing within the hall.

Under everyone's gaze, Zi Cui Ling turned and left the meeting room, preparing to begin cooperating with Lu Yuan.

Everyone silently watched her retreating figure, and they too felt a new hope and belief arise.

After Lu Yuan's brave actions, they realized the Ziyun Clan had not been utterly crushed. Not long after the Ziyun Clan's reconstruction plan was officially launched, a piece of news reached the ears of the various sects.

The Youhun Sect, which claims to be the supreme force of necromancy, actually intervened in this sectarian conflict.

This news caused shock and confusion among everyone.

The hall was filled with a tense atmosphere; the sect leaders and elders all wore anxious expressions.

They had not expected the Youhun Sect to interfere, adding another layer of difficulty to their already complicated situation.

"Youhun Sect?"

"How could they appear here?" Luo Fengyun said, frowning.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of contemplation flashing across his face.

He clearly knew the Youhun Sect was a very difficult force to deal with, possessing powerful necromancy.

If they stood opposed, it would be a tremendous threat to the Ziyun Clan.

At the same time, an immortal-like figure appeared outside the hall's door.

This was precisely the envoy sent by the Tian Ting to represent the Supreme Dao Ancestor at this meeting.

When everyone saw the arrival of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Youhun Sect's Sect Leader, Hong Lietian, smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a hint of smugness.

He floated over and blocked the hall's entrance.

Immortal energy swirled around him, while necromancy condensed at his fingertips, exuding a gloomy aura.

"The Tian Ting sent you here?"

Luo Fengyun asked coldly.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled faintly: "Lu Yuan and the Ziyun Clan's actions have already attracted the Tian Ting's attention; here I, representing the Supreme Dao Ancestor, give you leaders a warning."

Upon hearing this, Zi Cui Ling furrowed her brows. "What gives you the right to warn us?"

"We are merely following our own beliefs and responsibilities."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor's gaze swept over the crowd, his tone turning stern. "No matter your purposes or motives, such methods and means are unacceptable."

"To uphold justice and order, the Tian Ting will investigate and sanction this matter."

Everyone felt a mix of emotions in their hearts.

They felt the powerful pressure emanating from the Supreme Dao Ancestor, but at the same time felt helpless.

If they continue to take aggressive actions, that will be a challenge to the Tian Ting, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"We sent Lu Yuan to protect the interests and safety of the Ziyun Clan," Luo Fengyun tried to explain.

"I understand your difficulties, but please remember, the regulations of the Tian Ting must be observed."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor spoke firmly, "I hope everyone can handle this calmly and find a solution."

After hearing that, everyone's anxiety grew even greater.

Lu Yuan silently pondered how to respond to the sanctions from the Youhun Sect and the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

He knew the situation had become even more complicated, and the Ziyun Clan's reconstruction plan faced unprecedented difficulties. Lu Yuan stood at the edge of the Thunder Valley, quietly sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

He knew he would face a difficult battle, needing not only to counter the threat of the Youhun Sect but also to resolve the conflict with the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Around him, members of the Ziyun Clan gathered densely together.

They looked at Lu Yuan, their eyes filled with expectation and hope.

Although they understood this would be a dangerous battle, they firmly believed Lu Yuan could lead them out of the predicament.

"Brother Lu Yuan, we believe in you."

Zi Xi'er softly said, "We will give you our full support."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, feeling warmth and effort in his heart.

The support from the Ziyun Clan members gave him greater confidence. (End of chapter)
