664. Chapter 662: We must expose all of this as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan, you are merely a mortal; compared to us, you are pitifully weak.

Lu Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, blue electric arcs flickering in the darkness.

He could not tolerate letting this evil force continue to deceive everyone.

Mo Di, Hong Lietian!

If you think I'll just stand by and do nothing, you are dead wrong!

Lu Yuan's voice was low and his gaze resolute.

At that moment, a sword light flashed, breaking the formation's bonds and rescuing the outer sect disciples who were about to become sacrifices.

After the sword light faded, Lu Yuan's figure became visible.

He firmly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, his face showing a determined and ruthless expression.

Lu Yuan!

Su Liyan exclaimed in surprise, 'How did you get here?'

Lu Yuan slightly lifted his head, his deep eyes shining with an incredible light in the darkness.

Obviously, I came to see if you needed help.

The other outer sect disciples gathered around, overjoyed, repeatedly thanking Lu Yuan for saving their lives.

Hong Lietian's face was as dark as water: 'Well done, kid, daring to interfere in our affairs.'

He seemed to realize that being doubted by everyone and ultimately being slaughtered was an inevitable outcome.

The survivors then began to fight over the spoils left by Hong Lietian.

They were eager to kill each other over these things, losing their reason in the chaos.

Immediately afterward, one of them successfully extracted a precious blood pearl from the blood sacrifice.

He happily gazed at the gem flashing with red light in his palm, yet failed to notice the dangerous aura rising from beneath his feet.

Another sword light appeared, instantly defeating the demonic cultivator envoy maintaining the formation.

The entire formation began to collapse, and a rumbling sound echoed within the cave.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Mo Di hastily fled the scene, leaving the outer sect disciples shrouded in confusion and panic.

Mo Di! You can't escape!

Lu Yuan let out a low shout, silver electric arcs wrapping around his body.

However, Lu Yuan did not immediately pursue Mo Di.

He decided to first conceal his whereabouts and secretly monitor Mo Di to expose his collusion with the Dragon Clan.

To expose this secret, he must act cautiously.

He sealed his own aura, moving through the darkness like a ghost.

During his observation, he discovered that Mo Di was not acting alone.

The Dragon Clan was in communication with him, showing clear intent to collude.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed: 'Surely it is a plot by the Dragon Clan!'

Feeling heavy and complex emotions, Lu Yuan decisively chose to leave Huafang City and return to the Profound Heaven Sect.

He did not know whether Mo Di would set traps in the city, so he decided to first conceal his presence.

He set out onto the wilderness beyond the city, far from the clamor and slaughter.

Walking across the barren plain, the silent earth gave him space for peace and contemplation.

However, the deep-seated unease and complex emotions imposed great pressure on him.

'Mo Di… we have long been enemies,' Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He well knew that he and Mo Di were irreconcilable foes.

Returning to the Profound Heaven Sect was to preserve his life, but he also hoped to gain opportunities to discern the enemy's next moves and find a way to resolve this issue.

To achieve this, Lu Yuan took out a radiant transformation talisman from his bosom.

It is a treasure he received from the Supreme Dao Ancestor, capable of altering one's appearance.

Lu Yuan held it in his palm, gazing at the faintly visible rune patterns within.

At that moment, the talisman released a mysterious and powerful force, causing Lu Yuan's visage to begin gradually changing.

His originally handsome and resolute visage vanished, replaced by an ordinary middle-aged appearance.

His brown eyes looked commonplace, and his brown hair gave an impression of ordinariness.

His whole being exuded an unremarkable aura.

Satisfied with his successful change of appearance, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and continued on his journey back to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Soon after, he successfully arrived at the location of the Profound Heaven Sect.

It was already late at night, and the interior and exterior of the Profound Heaven Sect were tranquil.

Lu Yuan cautiously surveyed his surroundings, ensuring no lurkers were present before entering the mountain gate.

He found a hidden, safe cave in the mountains and temporarily took up residence there.

Lu Yuan decided to conceal himself first, waiting silently for an opportunity.

Inside the cave, dim spiritual light seeped out from the ground's immortal stones, lending the whole space a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

Lu Yuan sat beside the immortal stone, eyes closed in contemplation.

He wanted to grasp Mo Di's next moves and find a chance to resolve the issue, but his heart could not help but well up with worry for Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and the Ziyun Clan.

They had all fallen into the conspiracy between the Dragon Clan and Mo Di.

'I must expose all of this as soon as possible,' Lu Yuan resolved inwardly.

Suddenly, he sensed movement outside the cave; a figure flickered past, elusive and unpredictable.

That was a person of profound cultivation, whose appearance could not be discerned even in the darkness.

"Who?!" Lu Yuan shouted warily.

The newcomer seemed to sense Lu Yuan's presence and stopped. Immediately, several ice spears fell from the sky, sealing the cave entrance.

Su Liyan walked slowly into the cave, her slender whip wrapped in cold jade ice shards flashing with a faint blue light.

She looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of worry and concern in her eyes.

"Lu Yuan, are you alright?" Su Liyan asked.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, feeling Su Liyan's concern and warmth.

"I'm fine. I've just been thinking a lot here." He replied.

Su Liyan walked to Lu Yuan's side, sat down, and placed her whip on her lap.

"We were all worried about you."

"Everything that happened during this time was too sudden."

She whispered, "There is actually a Dragon Clan behind Mo Di..."

"We must act cautiously."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement and grasped Su Liyan's warm, soft hand.

"Don't worry."

"I have concealed my whereabouts and secretly monitored Mo Di."

"As soon as I find a suitable opportunity, I will eliminate them."

Su Liyan gripped Lu Yuan's hand tightly, a flash of determination and trust in her eyes.

"We all believe you can resolve this."

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will always stay by your side."

A warm current surged in Lu Yuan's heart; he knew he was no longer alone.

After assuming an alias, Lu Yuan smoothly returned to Huafang City, covertly surveilling the city's movements.

During the day he moved about energetically, observing every corner, searching for any clues.

At night, he focused on cultivation to increase his strength.

Ten days later, on a certain night before the assessment, Lu Yuan chanced upon Mo Di and his followers gathered in a lively tavern, celebrating their victory.

Upon sensing this, Lu Yuan immediately tailed them here, concealed his presence, and slipped silently into the tavern. (End of chapter)
