Chapter 587: Calling Friends to Come Help

True Lord Po Tian, the situation is urgent!

I suspect Xueying has already found us. We need your support!

A silence came through the communication, then True Lord Po Tian's firm and resolute voice: 'Lu Yuan, I had long foreseen such a crisis would befall us.'

I will immediately send personnel to Azure Cloud City to support you.

You and your companions must prepare to face this crisis together.

Lu Yuan felt a surge of gratitude in his heart; he understood that True Lord Po Tian's help was of great significance to them.

He replied, 'Thank you, True Lord Po Tian!'

We will prepare as soon as possible and await your arrival.

Under the tense atmosphere, Lu Yuan, Zi Xi'er, and Su Liyan discussed countermeasures.

Immediately thereafter, Lu Yuan took the lead in declaring: 'We are now heading outside Azure Cloud City.'

If we discover Xueying's traces, we must remain vigilant and promptly report to True Lord Po Tian.

We cannot let Xueying succeed!

Zi Xi'er nodded, speaking solemnly: 'Lu Yuan Brother is right!'

We must unite as one and jointly oppose this evil force!

Su Liyan also firmly expressed support: 'Correct!'

We are a whole team; no one can be defeated!

Everyone united, quickening their steps as they headed outside Azure Cloud City.

Meanwhile, deep within their hearts, an intangible force bore their responsibility and mission from behind.

Just then, a carriage sped up and stopped before them.

"Lu Yuan Brother!"

"We have come to support you!"

The black-robed True Lord Po Tian alighted from the carriage and loudly announced.

Immediately thereafter, a burly man in black armor stepped forward.

He is a capable aide brought by True Lord Po Tian.

"We have learned that Xueying is approaching Azure Cloud City; we must respond!"

True Lord Po Tian said in a firm tone.

Lu Yuan gazed steadfastly at his companions standing beside him, feeling their eyes full of fighting spirit. On the road leaving Azure Cloud City, Lu Yuan's heart brimmed with vigilance toward Xueying.

He gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, ever ready to face any sudden occurrence.

Suddenly, a stream of light flashed from a distant street, catching Lu Yuan's attention.

He approached and saw that a mysterious old man stood there.

"Honored elder, hello."

Lu Yuan greeted him politely.

A flicker of surprise crossed the old man's eyes, then he smiled and replied: 'Young man, you have keen eyesight.'

"Being able to see this hermit of mine is already not bad."

Lu Yuan marveled at the old man's extraordinariness.

He knew this old man was certainly no ordinary person.

"I am Xingchen Yinshi."

The old man introduced himself: 'You may call me Xingchen Xiansheng.'

Lu Yuan blinked in surprise, not expecting this mysterious person's identity to be so noble.

"Xingchen Xiansheng, it is an honor to meet you."

Lu Yuan said respectfully: 'My name is Lu Yuan.'

Xingchen Xiansheng gave a faint nod: 'Young man, you have comprehension and talent.'

"I perceive that a unique aura flows within you."

Lu Yuan's heart stirred; he greatly wished to know how Xingchen Xiansheng had discovered him.

"But I can see that you have not yet found your own true strength."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart jolted; he heard from Xingchen Xiansheng an enticing temptation.

"Have you ever heard of the Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret?" Xingchen Xiansheng asked.

Lu Yuan has always held a strong research interest in various immortal arts, yet he had never heard of the Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret.

"Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret?"

Lu Yuan repeated doubtfully: 'What sort of immortal art is this?'

"Could you tell me more about it?"

Xingchen Yinshi gazed at Lu Yuan with profound eyes, knowing he had found a suitable successor to inherit the Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret.

"The Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret is an ancient and powerful immortal art."

Xingchen Xiansheng said solemnly: 'It is renowned in the world for its flow, transformation, and the blossoming of beautiful colors.'

He extended his hand forward and flicked it; a gorgeous stream of light flew from his palm, slowly diffusing color in the air.

Behind Xingchen Xiansheng, this beautiful scene was reflected, giving a sense of mystery and grandeur.

Lu Yuan stared agape at the stream of light, drawn to its endless power and beauty.

"Xingchen Xiansheng withdrew the stream of light from his hand, smiling and saying: 'Lu Yuan, you possess potential that resonates with the Flowing Light Radiant Brilliance Secret.'

"If you can learn and master it, it will surely enhance your advantage in battle."

Lu Yuan's heart stirred; he yearned to possess greater power to protect himself and his companions.

"Mister Starlight, please impart to me the Flowing Light Splendid Technique!" Lu Yuan pleaded, full of anticipation.

Mister Starlight nodded and began to explain to Lu Yuan the characteristics and study methods of the Flowing Light Splendid Technique.

Under the sunlight, the two stood on the street discussing the mysteries of immortal arts.

Lu Yuan deeply understood that this was an opportunity for him to ascend to a higher realm, and at the same time he realized he must continually strive to truly master the Flowing Light Splendid Technique. At that very moment, in a hidden corner of Azure Cloud City, Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan were besieged by a group of black-clad individuals.

The two tightly clasped hands and stood together, displaying the seamless coordination they had honed over years of practice.

The black-clad attackers struck at the two with ruthless cruelty, the weapons in their hands flashing with a bone-chilling cold light.

Zi Xi'er wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, unleashing the power of ice and snow to the utmost, continually blocking the black-clad attackers' advances.

Su Liyan tightly gripped the Cold Jade Ice Shard, and streams of cold air emanated from the Fobao, condensing into ice walls and blades that drove back the black-clad attackers.

However, under the siege of the black-clad attackers, Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan gradually felt overwhelmed.

At the critical moment, a tremendous dragon's roar rang out.

Mo Di transformed into a divine dragon, unfurling massive dragon wings in the sky.

He opened his huge jaws and exhaled a breath intertwining fire and frost, encircling the black-clad attackers.

The black-clad attackers were awed by the dread and power displayed by Mo Di.

They gazed at the giant dragon and stepped back in awe.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan exhaled in relief, looking gratefully at Mo Di.

Mo Di halted his form, reverted to his original appearance, and smiled as he said to the two, "Are you all right?"

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan quickly nodded, indicating they were unharmed.

They felt both grateful for Mo Di's timely rescue and startled and worried by the appearance of the black-clad attackers.

"Who are these black-clad people?"

"Why did they attack us?"

Su Liyan asked, her heart still pounding with fear.

Mo Di furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping over the black-clad attackers' silhouettes.

"These people are assassins of the Shadow Sect, specializing in lurking everywhere to seek targets for assassination."
