Chapter 563: with translation of chapter title

We must act cautiously.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, his expression solemn.

I understand, thank you for the reminder.

I will stay vigilant at all times and set up the Detection Technique for guard.

Su Liyan nodded and praised, "You have always been a smart and responsible person, Junior Brother Lu Yuan."

I believe you can surely lead us safely through this Phantom Mirage Forest.

Mo Di listened quietly to their conversation, also looking at Lu Yuan with gratitude.

Brother Lu Yuan, fighting alongside you is truly my honor.

I will help you as much as I can.

Seeing the support and trust of his two companions, Lu Yuan felt as if strength surged into his body.

His resolve grew firmer. The interior of the Lei Huo Dan Ge was elegantly arranged, with exquisite rattan chairs and jade tables placed in the Xuanxiao Hall.

Zi Xi'er sat on a rattan chair, wearing a gold-flowered silk ribbon, gradually recovering in her cultivation.

Zi Cui Ling stood beside her, gently adjusting her posture.

She gazed at her sister with gentle eyes, soothing, "Zi Xi'er, don't worry."

Lu Yuan will surely return safely and bring back more medicinal herbs to aid your recovery.

Zi Xi'er lifted her head and gave a faint smile.

Her eyes shimmered with anticipation and trust: "I know, sister, Lu Yuan will surely have a way to defeat that Blood Shadow."

Zi Cui Ling looked out the window; bright moonlight poured down from the sky.

She took a deep breath, silently praying in her heart: "Lu Yuan, may you return safely."

This thought revolved in her heart, as if it could give Lu Yuan endless strength.

Meanwhile, inside the Phantom Mirage Forest, Lu Yuan's group proceeded cautiously.

The Dao Ancestor's admonition made Lu Yuan take this mission's danger more seriously.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already traveled for several days.

With the aid of the Detection Technique he possessed, Lu Yuan tried to find a safe route.

He carefully observed the surroundings, watching the ever-changing scenery in the forest. By the clear spring of the Phantom Mirage Forest, translucent and sparkling blue light fell upon the surrounding trees.

Lu Yuan led Su Liyan, Mo Di, and others forward cautiously; their auras were masked by the deep floral fragrance of the environment.

"We are about to reach the growing place of the Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers," Lu Yuan said, gazing at a patch of grass ahead.

"The Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers are vital for Zi Xi'er's recovery; we must gather and protect them quickly."

Su Liyan lightly nodded, the Ice Crystal Long Whip resting quietly in her palm.

She turned her gaze to Mo Di and said, "Mo Di, go scout the surroundings for any abnormalities first."

"Lu Yuan and I will gather the Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers; you stay as alert as possible."

Mo Di gave a slight nod and vanished into the vast expanse with the Dragon Clan's distinctive graceful posture.

This operation is very important; everything must be done cautiously.

Lu Yuan solemnly reminded the team members.

He firmly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, ready to face any danger that might arise.

The team members silently entered the growing ground of the Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers.

It was a vast green meadow, with Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers scattered throughout, shining like stars.

Lu Yuan carefully observed the surroundings, seeking the best harvesting route.

Su Liyan, meanwhile, pondered how to protect these precious medicinal herbs.

Just as Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were discussing the harvesting plan, a sudden harsh laugh came from nearby.

Disciples of the Blood Moon Sect appeared silently beside them, evil smiles curling their lips.

"Hahaha, are you Lu Yuan and Su Liyan?"

"The Blood Moon Sect Leader personally ordered you to stay!"

The Blood Moon Sect disciple sneered.

Lu Yuan's face showed resolve; he knew this was a challenge full of difficulty and danger.

He stepped forward without hesitation, and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand immediately released dazzling thunder and fire.

Su Liyan followed closely, the Ice Crystal Long Whip waving, unleashing icy power that blanketed the heavens and earth.

Each step she took was accompanied by a clear crack of ice explosion.

The Blood Moon Sect disciples were shaken by their confident and powerful aura, yet did not show weakness.

They tasted the brutality of this battle, a sly smile curling their lips. After a fierce clash, Lu Yuan, using his profound immortal arts and superb swordsmanship, successfully repelled the Blood Moon Sect disciples.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand traced a splendid arc in the air, leaving a patch of scorched black beside the Blood Moon Sect disciples.

Su Liyan, relying on the great power of her ice arts, instantly dropped the surrounding temperature to freezing, binding the Blood Moon Sect members under her Ice Crystal Long Whip so they could not move.

Just then, Mo Di returned from afar, bearing a chilling dragon aura.

Seeing the shift in the situation, he couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"Not bad, you actually managed to defeat my subordinates."

"It seems I underestimated you."

The Blood Moon Sect disciple put away his earlier smug, arrogant smile, a flicker of contempt flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yuan stared at the Blood Moon Sect disciple and said solemnly, "Don't think defeating you is merely a minor achievement of our Northern Domain Xiuzhen Jie."

"We have important matters to attend to and have no intention of entangling further with you."

"Now we only wish to peacefully gather the Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers; you had best not obstruct us again."

The Blood Moon Sect disciple's face shifted wildly; he knew he could no longer clash head-on with Lu Yuan and the others, yet he had no intention of giving up.

"Haha, wanting to leave is impossible!"

"The Blood Moon Sect's Sect Leader has long had people ambush in the depths of the forest; you simply cannot escape!"

The Blood Moon Sect disciple sneered.

Mo Di raised an eyebrow, a hint of teasing appearing on his face.

He strolled over to Su Liyan's side, his eyes revealing a hint of challenge.

"You Blood Moon Sect folks really think highly of yourselves." Mo Di sneered.

Hearing Mo Di's words, the Blood Moon Sect disciple froze for a moment, then shouted angrily, "You're asking for death!"

Mo Di brandished his battle blade and charged at the Blood Moon Sect disciple, displaying the proud strength of a Dragon Clan crown prince.

Amidst the sound of slashes, the Blood Moon Sect disciple had already been forced into a desperate situation by Mo Di.

Seeing the Blood Moon Sect disciple flee in panic, Lu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

He knew this battle was merely a prelude, and the road ahead would only grow more difficult.

He turned to look at his companions.

"We need to urgently gather the Stellar Purple Spirit Flowers; Zi Xi'er currently needs them to fully recover her health."

"Once she recovers, the entire Northern Region's Xiuzhen Jie will become safer and more stable." Lu Yuan said solemnly.

Su Liyan nodded in agreement. (End of chapter)

She fully understood the importance of Zi Xi'er, so she also realized even more clearly how urgent the current task was. (End of chapter)
