Chapter 616: Your hatred will only lead you to your own destruction

Xueying's heart burned with hatred toward Lu Yuan and Lei Huo Dan Ge, he schemed how to use the power he had obtained to crush the other side.

"Lu Yuan, you don't deserve to be stronger than me!" Xueying cursed in a low voice.

"What do you think you are, a genius?"

"In front of me, you're just a joke!"

His voice echoed in the mist-filled air above Blood Moon Island.

The man he regarded as his mortal enemy happened to be the very target he had long wanted to destroy.

Xueying looked around, his gaze locking onto a pattern of Lei Huo Dan Ge carved on an altar wall, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Lu Yuan, I will make you regret accepting Zi Xi'er and preventing the Thousand Mechanism Tower from marrying her!"

Under the cover of night, silently plotting his revenge, Xueying had decided to unleash all the evil demonic energy he controlled upon Lei Huo Dan Ge and its supporters behind it.

He would let no one connected to Lu Yuan go, nor anyone who had ever approached Lei Huo Dan Ge.

"I will put them in a death trap and make them taste endless suffering!"

Xueying craved revenge, silently chanting the vow in his heart.

Lu Yuan and his companions Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and the Supreme Dao Ancestor's group were unaware that this evil entity Xueying was planning a destructive revenge operation.

They were focused on completing the task assigned by their master.

That day, Lu Yuan's group headed to the East Sea Shore.

After Hong Yun settled the human villagers, he raised his head to look at the busy human villagers building homes on the East Sea Shore, his heart filled with relief.

He knew it would take time for the human race to gradually grow stronger, and during this period he would continue to protect and guide them onto the proper path of cultivation.

Zi Xi'er walked up to Lu Yuan's side and softly asked, "Lu Yuan, do you think we still need to do something to help the human villagers here?"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "We've already done quite well."

"What's most important now is to give them time to adapt and develop."

"Hong Yun will continue to protect them, while we must fulfill the mission our master entrusted to us."

Su Liyan looked at the flourishing scene before her and said with feeling, "This place will be a fertile and harmonious land."

"I believe these human villagers will have a beautiful future."

As everyone was watching the bustling construction scene on the East Sea Shore, a sinister and terrifying demonic aura suddenly came from afar.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor's expression changed; he sensed something amiss.

"Evil forces are active nearby!"

"This is the demonic aura emanating from Xueying!"

"Lu Yuan's heart jolted; he knew Xueying was the enemy who had once inflicted heavy wounds upon him."

He gripped his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, preparing to face the impending danger.

Zi Xi'er furrowed her brows, understanding that this battle would be exceptionally fierce.

She stored more power using the Cold Jade Ice Slice, preparing to give Lu Yuan full support.

Soon after, Xueying appeared out of thin air before Lu Yuan's group.

Dark energy emanated from his body, his countenance cold and ruthless.

"Lu Yuan!"

Xueying coldly sneered, "You think you can escape my hatred?"

"Today, I will make you pay the price."

Lu Yuan showed no fear, calmly saying, "Xueying, you have chosen the wrong path."

"Your hatred will only lead you to your own destruction."

Xueying glared at Lu Yuan; he was no longer the former ruler of Blood Moon Island immersed in vengeful desire.

"I will make you regret accepting Zi Xi'er and stopping the Thousand Mechanism Tower from marrying her!"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor walked forward with a cold face, his gaze firm, saying, "Xueying!"

"You will pay for everything you have done!"

Mo Di also stepped forward, the Dragon Clan Prince emanating powerful dragon might, "Lu Yuan is my brother!"

"We will absolutely not let you succeed!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, the clash of darkness and light unfolding on the East Sea Shore.

Lu Yuan brandished the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, executing the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, his light shining amidst Xueying's dark energy.

Su Liyan waved the Ice Crystal Long Whip, the Cold Jade Ice Slice emitting a chill that surrounded her.

She used ice immortal arts to condense freezing power into ice blades, charging toward Xueying's dark energy.

Zi Xi'er mobilized the treasure Cold Jade Ice Slice, granting reinforcing power to Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

She chanted a spell, the cold and ice crystals forming a light curtain that protected the two of them.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor displayed his formidable power as the progenitor of Daoist immortal arts.

He employed the profound Detection Technique, seeking Xueying's weakness.

Mo Di, empowered by his Dragon Clan talent, transformed into a giant dragon that lunged straight at Xueying, his momentum magnificent.

The battle proceeded with extraordinary intensity, darkness and light intertwining.

In the end, they were of course victorious, returning once more to Lei Huo Dan Ge.

In the quiet inner chamber of Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were focused on studying a new immortal art—the "Cold Flame Counterflow Technique."

They sat at a desk, carefully discussing the application of this technique.

A gleam of excitement shone in Lu Yuan's eyes; he knew that if they could master this immortal art, it would greatly enhance their ability to fight enemies.

Su Liyan also looked forward to it, for this technique combined her ice immortal arts with Lu Yuan's thunderfire power.

The two assisted and encouraged each other, scrutinizing every detail and variation.

They merged the elements each excelled at, creating a powerful and icy force.

Zi Xi'er busily walked into the inner chamber, holding various rare medicinal herbs in her hand, she was preparing to replenish the pill pavilion with more high-grade pill materials.

Seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan fully focused, she couldn't help but feel admiration.

The inner chamber was filled with an atmosphere of concentration.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan's brows furrowed slightly; they constantly tested and improved, striving to unleash the utmost power of the Cold Flame Counterflow Technique.

Time passed second by second; Lu Yuan relaxed and nodded in satisfaction.

Under his control, lightning power and frost power responded to each other and merged, forming a powerful cold flame counterflow.

"Finally succeeded!" he said excitedly.

Su Liyan also looked joyfully at the cold flame counterflow before her.

"We've finally made progress!"

"This will become an important means for us to fight our enemies!" she said confidently.

Zi Xi'er stood aside, quietly watching; she used magic to control the medicinal herbs, swiftly storing them in the storeroom.

The inner chamber fell into silence.

Lu Yuan pondered what to do next, intending to apply this technique in the upcoming decisive battle.

Just as they were about to leave the inner chamber, a guard hurried in and said, "Master, Miss, Elder Sister Zi, Mo Di and the emissaries of other sects wish to discuss alliance matters with you."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows; he knew Mo Di's intention.

The alliance between different sects helps raise the status of Lei Huo Dan Ge in the Xiuzhen Jie. (Chapter complete)
