Chapter 547: The Enemy's Sister

She tightly held Lu Yuan's hand, her expression both joyful and worried.

"Zi Xi'er, we must stop the Black Flame Sect."

Lu Yuan's gaze was firm.

"They not only want to destroy Heavenly Wind City, but also to wipe us out."

"We cannot sit and wait for death."

Zi Xi'er nodded to show understanding.

"I will fight them together with you."

"Staying here and waiting for luck offers no hope; perhaps we can join forces with other powers and achieve victory in battle."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"You're right, Zi Xi'er."

"We must gather all usable resources."

He turned to look at Liu Lingxiao.

"Liu Lingxiao, can you get in touch with An Luofeng and Mo Di?"

"They are both very powerful combat forces."

Liu Lingxiao nodded.

"I will contact them right away."

"As long as they can come to Heavenly Wind City to assist us, the Black Flame Sect will definitely not be a match. At the most renowned auction in Heavenly Wind City, Lu Yuan planned to seek rare items that could enhance his strength."

He knew well that the auction items were dazzling and overwhelming, requiring clear goals and bidding strategies.

Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"Hong Ningxue!"

Lu Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

He knew her somewhat; she was Hong Lietian's sister, but her personality was completely different from Hong Lietian's.

Hong Ningxue smiled as she walked toward Lu Yuan.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Her voice was gentle and melodious.

"Your cultivation has progressed rapidly; you should choose rare items suitable for your development."

"I understand."

Lu Yuan nodded.

"My goal is to find rare treasures or elixirs that can enhance my strength."

"There should be some suitable options at this auction."

Hong Ningxue listened to Lu Yuan's words and furrowed her brows.

"Lu Yuan, beware of traps."

"At the auction, many people deliberately exaggerate the value of items to lure you into buying at high prices."

"You must stay vigilant."

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan nodded.

"Sister Hong, I will treat it cautiously."

"Moreover, I will check the item information before bidding and see how others are bidding."

"I will not bid blindly."

Hong Ningxue smiled satisfactorily.

"Very good."

"There's also a suggestion: you can join forces with other cultivators who share the same intention to bid together."

"This can reduce contention and competition."

She whispered in Lu Yuan's ear.

A thought flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.

"Yes!"

"I can also contact An Luofeng and Mo Di; they surely need treasures to enhance their strength as well."

He replied excitedly.

"Then let's do it."

Hong Ningxue encouraged.

"Heavenly Wind City is a place of many troubles; our united effort must not be underestimated."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement; he felt confident about cooperating with a well-informed cultivator like Hong Ningxue.

After listening to Hong Ningxue's advice, Lu Yuan's determination became even firmer.

He prepared to leave the auction venue to find An Luofeng and Mo Di to discuss bidding matters.

Just as he stepped outside, preparing to depart on his flying sword, his gaze involuntarily turned to a nearby notice board.

It posted a challenge: to hunt and kill the Upper Martial Emperor-level monster "Netherworld Blood Ghost" hidden in Blood Shadow Fort at the center of the Deathly Silent Wasteland.

This is not only a high-difficulty task, but also a lucrative bounty mission.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then accepted the task without hesitation.

He deeply knew that he had an inseparable connection with Blood Shadow Fort; this could be an opportunity and also a test.

If he could successfully defeat the "Netherworld Blood Ghost," it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength and reputation.

He proceeded cautiously along the way, avoiding dangerous areas, and used the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to set up the Detection Technique, continually scouting the situation ahead. Lu Yuan's group advanced on the edge of the desert, the silent air mixed with dry wind.

They closely followed Lu Yuan, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Suddenly, a gust of wind and sand rose, and a horrible aura spread across the land.

Gathering Life Realm warriors appeared before them at some unknown time.

"Be careful!"

Lu Yuan let out a loud shout, instantly releasing the power of the Five Elements Escape Technique.

He nimbly dodged the attacks of the Gathering Life Realm warriors, while using the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to unite himself and his companions.

Su Liyan swiftly raised the Ice Crystal Long Whip, sending a chill from her hand that instantly froze several Gathering Life Realm warriors, giving them an opening to counterattack.

An Luofeng also calmly commanded her spirit beast, the Azure Wind Egret, as blades of wind swept toward the Gathering Life Realm warriors.

Zi Cui Ling then used her family's inherited technique to provide Lu Yuan and the others with an impenetrable protective light shield.

Lu Yuan brandished the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, charging swiftly at the Gathering Life Realm warriors as the immortal light on his body shone.

A series of sword shadows sliced the sky, completely suppressing the enemy.

Under their combined attack, the Gathering Life Realm warriors collapsed one by one, leaving a strange aura on the dead silent wasteland.

Lu Yuan looked at the defeated enemy, knowing they had deeply felt the cruelty and survival law of this wasteland.

"We need to leave quickly; if we advance further, stronger opponents will appear!"

An Luofeng reminded everyone.

Lu Yuan nodded, and they continued forward, leaving a string of footprints in the desert.

As they ventured deeper into the dead silent wasteland, encounters increased.

Lu Yuan resolved one crisis after another, and continually used the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to sense the movements of enemies ahead. Soon after leaving Xueying Fortress, Lu Yuan and his team felt that someone was secretly following them.

After numerous battles and trials, Lu Yuan's perception grew sharper, and he keenly detected the sound of the opponent's footsteps gradually approaching.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

This time, someone finally dared to chase them!

Lu Yuan smiled, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Winding through the tangled, gloomy ravines of the wasteland, Lu Yuan approached the stalker at superhuman speed.

Suddenly appearing at the mouth of a dark cave, his concealment technique let him launch an attack before the opponent could react.

Three streams of the Primordial Divine Runes, empowered by the Five Elements Escape Technique to become stronger and more precise, directly invaded the enemy's consciousness and crushed them with overwhelming force.

The stalker felt a painful stimulus from deep within his soul, his whole body began to tremble, and he could barely stand.

"Impossible! Who are you?!"

The stalker lost his composure, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he saw. (End of chapter)
