Chapter 611: We need more strength to protect ourselves and our allies

She immediately felt that the ice immortal power within her body was mutually attracting these spiritual herbs, as if a dark current flowed around her.

Lu Yuan approached Su Liyan, curiously observing these spiritual herbs.

"Su Liyan, the spiritual herbs in this area are extremely rare."

"Gather them and combine them with your ice immortal technique, and it will greatly enhance your cultivation."

Su Liyan nodded excitedly, her expression revealing anticipation for future strength increase.

"I will quickly gather these spiritual herbs and use them to improve my proficiency in ice immortal technique."

Lu Yuan smiled watching Su Liyan diligently gather the spiritual herbs, "Make good use of your time."

"After using these rare ice-attribute spiritual herbs to strengthen our strength, our team's combat power will also be greatly increased."

Su Liyan silently nodded, focusing on continuing to gather those spiritual herbs.

Each spiritual herb was carefully placed by her into her storage bag to avoid damage or waste.

As the spiritual herbs kept increasing, Lu Yuan watched Su Liyan's storage bag, already covered in frost in her hands, and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart.

Su Liyan's diligence and perseverance made him very relieved.

"Su Liyan, you did very well."

Lu Yuan said approvingly, "These spiritual herbs will become our weapons for future battles."

Su Liyan smiled and raised her head, "Thank you for your encouragement and support, Lu Yuan."

"I will train diligently and bring out the utmost potential of these ice-attribute spiritual herbs."

A hint of pride and anticipation flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"I believe you can do it."

"This ice-attribute spiritual herb area is merely the beginning of our strength enhancement plan."

After returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan handed over the collected information and a large amount of spiritual herbs to Zi Xi'er.

She received the items Lu Yuan handed over and carefully examined each one.

"These encompass information on the various demon beasts and evil cult forces we have encountered, including their weaknesses and characteristics," Lu Yuan explained.

Zi Xi'er gazed at the documents in her hands, her brows slightly furrowed.

"It seems the evil cult forces have recently shown some movement."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan nodded, "They want to expand their sphere of influence and threaten the safety of us and our allies."

After a moment of silence, Zi Xi'er set down the documents in her hands.

"In that case, we should use these resources to strengthen the Ziyun Clan and its allies' ability to resist the evil cult forces."

"Exactly."

Lu Yuan agreed, saying, "We need more strength to protect ourselves and our allies."

Zi Xi'er took a deep breath, her expression resolute.

"I will convey this information to the clan's senior members and discuss countermeasures with other allies."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "You did well, Zi Xi'er."

He, who does not usually boast, now expressed his affirmation of Zi Xi'er.

This is because he knows that the Ziyun Clan is the core strength of the entire force jointly resisting the evil cult forces.

"We also need to strengthen our own strength."

Zi Xi'er's resolute gaze fixed on Lu Yuan: "I will discuss with the clan's experts how to better utilize these resources."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, believing Zi Xi'er could do it.

"Since the Ziyun Clan is our core strength in resisting the evil cult forces, we should do our utmost to improve ourselves."

"True strength comes not only from external things but also requires inner resolve and cultivation."

Lu Yuan said, "Using these ice-attribute spiritual herbs to strengthen your clan's cultivators' ice immortal technique will give you a greater advantage in battle."

Zi Xi'er nodded slightly, knowing Lu Yuan's words were not false.

"I will quickly join with other cultivators of the clan to use these ice-attribute spiritual herbs to enhance our strength."

She said, "Thank you for your support and encouragement."

Lu Yuan felt Zi Xi'er's deep-seated resolute will, and smiled as he nodded at her.

Lu Yuan stood before Lei Huo Dan Ge, his gaze penetrating the crowd as he looked toward the horizon.

Although he was in the mortal world, his thoughts had already flown to the grand wedding in Tian Ting.

Suddenly, he sensed a faint fluctuation, immediately using the Five Elements Escape Technique to conceal his form and set up the Detection Technique to investigate.

It turned out that Su Liyan had rushed over with an urgent message.

She held in her hand a communication talisman empowered by a Cold Jade Ice Chip, her expression grave as she told Lu Yuan: Zi Xi'er had been abducted by an unknown force.

"Abduction?"

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed, "Are you sure? These days the evil cult forces are active; could they be suspects?"

Su Liyan nodded slightly, "We still lack solid evidence, but according to intelligence, the evil cult forces have recently been active frequently, possibly related to this."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and immediately decided, "We must act at once!"

"This concerns my reputation and honor."

"Let's go rescue her!"

Su Liyan tightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip, "I think the same. Let's go rescue her together."

The two swiftly moved through the crowd, using immortal techniques to hurry to the location of the evil cult forces' stronghold.

Upon arriving at the evil cult forces' hiding place, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan discovered that the area had been set up with a powerful barrier.

But they did not retreat, tacitly preparing together.

Lu Yuan drew his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword; lightning and sparks flickered on the blade, accompanied by his deep gaze locking onto the flashing light within the barrier.

Su Liyan leapt into the air, and her Ice Crystal Long Whip danced with her graceful posture.

A pair of Cold Jade Ice Flakes emitted bright light, granting her power.

The two joined forces to attack the barrier, and a shockwave burst forth in the air.

But no matter how hard they tried, the barrier remained impregnable.

Just as they began to feel weary, a voice reached their ears: "You kids have some skill."

The two turned their heads and saw an old man in Daoist robes approaching leisurely—it was the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor!" Lu Yuan and Su Liyan bowed in unison.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled slightly, extended a finger, and lightly tapped the barrier.

Instantly, the barrier trembled, then swiftly collapsed.

Zi Xi'er appeared in their sight, somewhat disheveled but unharmed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zi Xi'er thanked him with a complex expression.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor waved his hand, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Lu Yuan answered responsibly, "Nothing serious."

"It's just that the barrier they prepared is quite formidable."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor nodded, "These cult forces are becoming increasingly rampant."

"We must adopt stricter measures."

Zi Xi'er stood silently to the side, feeling deeply guilty.

"Thanks to your help, otherwise I would probably have been controlled by them."

Lu Yuan walked over to Zi Xi'er, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't blame yourself; as long as we're all fine, that's good."

"Those cult forces have sunk to utter wickedness; we must eradicate their root completely." (End of chapter)
