665. Chapter 663 This is a tremendous opportunity! I must seize it

Inside the tavern, the atmosphere was extremely lively, the wine's fragrance rich.

Mo Di and his followers raised their cups and drank heartily, loudly boasting about how easily they had defeated those cultivators and earned many merits.

Hearing these false words, Lu Yuan's heart burned with fury.

During this time, to evade Mo Di's pursuit, he had tossed and turned, weathering wind and rain.

Yet this arrogant, swaggering Mo Di was still here, speaking grandly.

He decided to secretly convey this matter to Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er.

Only by joining forces could they completely eradicate Mo Di.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was happy and distracted, the disguised Lu Yuan stepped forward and drew the attention of Mo Di and the others.

He took a deep breath, his gaze firm as he scanned every corner of the tavern, then loudly announced: "Mo Di, I have finally found you!"

Mo Di and his followers simultaneously turned their heads, showing astonished expressions. They never expected someone to step forward at this moment.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly went silent, everyone's gaze gathering on Lu Yuan.

Mo Di immediately waved his hand, signaling his followers to get ready.

He let out a cold laugh and said: "So it's a troublemaker."

"I've heard you're somewhat capable, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Impudent!"

Lu Yuan shouted angrily, his body turning into a stream of light as he lunged at Mo Di.

The tavern instantly became a scene of chaotic melee.

Mo Di and his followers all launched attacks, engaging Lu Yuan in fierce combat.

Mo Di transformed into a giant dragon, soaring up, and with each sweep of his dragon claws he stirred up a storm.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, each swing bringing forth a fierce gust.

He steadied his stance, nimbly dodging Mo Di's attacks and swiftly counterattacking.

The thunder‑fire sword emitted a blinding flash of lightning, and where it clashed with Mo Di's dragon claws a tremendous roar erupted.

"You're nothing but a brat, thinking you can beat me with mere immortal arts?" Mo Di jeered.

Lu Yuan gave a cold laugh: "You're just a nobody who prides himself on his dragon‑clan lineage."

Mo Di roared in fury, his whole body engulfed in flames interlaced with powerful lightning.

This was his special ability inherited from the dragon bloodline—Blazing Thunder‑Fire Dragon!

The two fought so fiercely that the whole tavern shook.

Loose bricks from the walls flew everywhere, and tables and chairs were shattered into splinters.

During the battle, Lu Yuan continually changed his moves, attempting to drive Mo Di back with relentless offense.

He used the power of the Five Elements Escape Technique to dart through the air, at times turning into dark clouds that dropped lightning, at times moving with agile shenqi like flight.

Although Mo Di gritted his teeth, Lu Yuan's strength exceeded his expectations.

Lu Yuan displayed the ability to take on many opponents alone, and was not struck down in a single blow by the followers.

"Mo Di, I will not let today's matter rest!"

Lu Yuan said through gritted teeth.

Mo Di stared coldly at Lu Yuan, realizing he had fallen into a situation more troublesome than he had anticipated.

However, at that moment he suddenly seemed to recall something, and a hint of an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You think you can escape like this?" Mo Di said with a cold laugh.

"I have long known you are Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan's expression changed.

He had not revealed his true identity, so how could Mo Di have seen through it?

"It seems I ought to thank you, Lu Yuan."

Mo Di laughed mockingly.

He signaled his followers to together subdue Lu Yuan and take him back to Mo Di's residence.

Everyone escorted Lu Yuan out of the tavern, moving through the night.

Although they did not know Mo Di's purpose, they could all sense the fire of desire burning within him.

Along the way, as they went forward, Mo Di began to ask Lu Yuan about his true identity and how many secrets he hid.

Lu Yuan gave a cold laugh: "You think I'll tell you?"

"Hahaha!" Mo Di emitted a strange laugh.

"Since you refuse to speak, I will personally find the answer!"

Soon after, they arrived at the Spirit Cloud Inn.

This was a place where Lu Yuan had once lived.

Mo Di led his followers in searching every corner of the inn for any clues.

He opened the room door and found everything seemingly very tidy, with no clues at all.

Suddenly, Mo Di discovered on the desk a teacup still warm, beside it a bottle of ink not yet dry.

His eyes flickered; he inferred that Lu Yuan might have discovered a treasure map left by a certain Nascent Soul senior cultivator, containing information about riches.

"A treasure map!" Mo Di felt a surge of joy.

"This is a tremendous opportunity! I must seize it!"

He immediately formulated a plan, preparing to seize this opportunity.

Mo Di and his followers silently approached Lu Yuan's room, ready to launch an attack while he was completely unprepared.

Mo Di's smile grew more sinister and vicious, his eyes filled with greed and cruelty.

After leaving Su Liyan and the other companions, Lu Yuan, under the alias Feng Yi, arrived at the southern gate of Huafang City.

He proceeded toward a designated point, which was a false trail Su Liyan had deliberately laid to mislead the enemy.

When Lu Yuan reached the destination, he found himself standing before a tranquil valley covered in dense woods.

This valley concealed the entrance to an ancient cave abode, which looked extremely mysterious.

The rosy light filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell upon the ground, cloaking the entire valley in an illusory beauty.

Lu Yuan followed Su Liyan's directions and searched for the entrance in this secluded valley.

Finally, beside a towering tree, he discovered a rock wall that appeared ordinary but had a faint reddish hue.

To an ordinary person, it was merely an unremarkable rock wall, but in Lu Yuan's eyes it flashed with an unusual light.

He took out a special token and, following the method, deployed the Detection Technique.

Instantly, a stream of red runic light appeared on the rock wall, swirling around the cave entrance.

The cave entrance slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

At the cave entrance, a complex protective formation was densely laid within, flickering with a few strands of purple light.

This was something Lu Yuan had anticipated before entering; he knew that precious treasures might lie deep within the cave, so he had to strive to break through this formation.

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath and poured his last lingering trace of spiritual power into the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

Thick smoke immediately rose from the blade, as if it were about to burst forth with endless energy.

He gripped the hilt and loudly chanted an immortal incantation.

"Five elements rise, heavenly thunder moves!"

A golden divine light burst from the sword, tracing a beautiful yet dangerous arc in the air.

As that force was about to touch the edge of the formation, a tremendous surge of electricity suddenly emanated from within the formation.

The defensive power quickly strengthened, sealing off the cave entrance.

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly; he had not expected the other side to come prepared.

But he had no intention of retreating; instead, it stirred his deep-seated fighting spirit. (End of chapter)
