667. Chapter 665: Only by uniting together can we defeat the enemy.

They hurried into the main hall, only to see a middle-aged man in black robes seated on the elevated platform, his gaze cold and profound.

"True Lord Po Tian, I am Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan bowed respectfully, "I hope we can cooperate to oppose Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince."

True Lord Po Tian gave a faint smile: "Lu Yuan."

"Since you have such strength, let us cooperate."

As one of the top sects, the Black Flame Sect possesses vast influence and formidable strength in the cultivation world.

Gaining their support is an important and crucial advantage for Lu Yuan and his companions.

Meanwhile, in the palace of the Youhun Sect, the Sect Leader Hongxue Yemo awaited Lu Yuan's arrival.

Lu Yuan's group rushed into the Youhun Sect, Su Liyan tightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"Lu Yuan, you have finally arrived."

Hongxue Yemo calmly said, "True Lord Po Tian told me your abilities are outstanding, and it is worthy for our Youhun Sect to cooperate."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Sect Leader, you overpraise me."

"As long as we can oppose Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince, I am willing to pay any price."

Thus, with the support of the Black Flame Sect and the Youhun Sect, Lu Yuan's group secretly devised a detailed plan.

They will split into two routes: one will head to Magic Dragon Manor to seek traces of Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince;

the other will remain in Heavenly Wind City to gather intelligence and provide protection.

Lu Yuan entered a hidden pavilion in Huafang City; various secret passages, mechanisms, and formations constituted its protective layer.

He gathered Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and True Lord Po Tian together, furrowing his brow.

A rich fragrance permeated the hidden pavilion, emanating from the incense burner used to empower immortal arts.

The spirit pearl hanging high from the ceiling glittered with dazzling light.

"Assistants, our situation is extremely perilous now," Lu Yuan said slowly.

Su Liyan listened quietly, elegantly holding the Ice Crystal Long Whip, understanding that now was the time to exert her role as an auxiliary cultivator.

"We have already obtained tokens of support from the two major forces, the Netherworld Sect and the Burning Shadow Sect."

Lu Yuan's expression grave, "They will be important allies in our opposition to Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince."

Zi Xi'er sat quietly beside him, her gaze deep as she looked at Lu Yuan, "So what should we do next?"

Lu Yuan glanced at everyone, pondered a moment, then said, "My connection with Mo Di is profound; he should know my every move."

"Therefore, I intend to go to Magic Dragon Manor with Su Liyan to seek traces of Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince."

Su Liyan nodded, "I will protect Lu Yuan and ensure his safety."

"Good."

Zi Xi'er stood up, "You two go to Magic Dragon Manor; I will stay in Heavenly Wind City and maintain contact with the intelligence network of Huafang City, providing you support."

Everyone nodded silently.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan came to a hidden chamber within the Tiangang Academy, closed the door, and began their confidential discussion.

"Mo Di possesses formidable Dragon Clan power; he will show no mercy against us."

A solemn hue appeared on Lu Yuan's face, "We cannot be careless."

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, brows slightly furrowed, "We must be extra cautious in our actions."

"Yes, no matter what, we must not disperse our forces."

Lu Yuan pondered a moment, "Only by uniting together can we defeat the enemy."

"I have decided to use the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation that I command to resist their attack."

A flash of inspiration crossed Su Liyan's mind: "If we set a trap, ambushing many fire-system cultivators outside the formation, we could annihilate him in one strike when Mo Di enters the formation."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, "Great idea!"

"If we succeed in luring the enemy into the formation and defeating him, it would be a tremendous victory for us."

After the two had settled their discussion, Lu Yuan began to set up the Detection Technique.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, his fingers turning into five rays of light as he inserted talismans capable of monitoring enemy movements at key locations throughout the academy.

Su Liyan let out a soft sigh, "Senior Brother, Mo Di and the Dragon Clan prince now wield vast power; with our own strength alone we may hardly be able to resist."

Lu Yuan gazed deeply at Su Liyan, his eyes filled with resolve, "We cannot retreat."

"We have Zi Xi'er's intelligence support; she will provide us with valuable information."

"Yes."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement, "This time, we must succeed."

In the underground secret chamber of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan displayed his extraordinary talisman-crafting ability.

His fingers agile, talismans fluttered, and a delicate, crystalline pill quietly appeared in his hand.

This pill radiated a golden glow, like a small sun, brilliant and dazzling.

Su Liyan stared unblinking at the "Nine-turn Golden Body Pill," her shock beyond words.

She understood the marvel of this spiritual medicine—it could help cultivators swiftly recover from injuries and strengthen their physical bodies.

For the Mo Di and Dragon Clan prince they were about to face, this was undoubtedly an extremely important asset.

Lu Yuan smiled as he handed the Nine-turn Golden Body Pill to Su Liyan, "This is a spiritual medicine I have meticulously developed in recent years; in the upcoming battle, it will play a crucial role."

Su Liyan received the Nine-turn Golden Body Pill, feeling its rich spiritual energy, her heart filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"With this pill, our combat power will greatly increase."

Lu Yuan's expression solemn as he nodded, "We must be fully prepared, leaving no loopholes."

"Yes." Su Liyan replied solemnly.

After Lu Yuan had arranged Su Liyan's pill-refining affairs at Lei Huo Dan Ge, he hastily left the underground secret room and returned to Fengyun Manor.

After returning to the manor, Lu Yuan saw that envoys sent by the Burning Shadow Sect and the Netherworld Sect were waiting for his audience.

The Burning Shadow Sect is a major power in the cultivation world, renowned for its mastery of flame power, while the Netherworld Sect excels in the Yin-Yang Dao and is skilled in netherworld arts.

Both sects have close ties with Lu Yuan, and they share mutual interests in cooperation and mutual benefit.

"Daoist Friend Lu Yuan, may I ask if you are the person in charge of Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

An envoy of the Burning Shadow Sect inquired respectfully.

"Not bad."

Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "What brings the two of you to see me?"

Envoy Yan Wuchang of the Burning Shadow Sect stepped forward, his expression solemn, and said: "We have both received a notice from the Central Immortal Sect, learning that Mo Di is heading to Heavenly Wind City."

"As fellow orthodox sects, we are of course willing to offer assistance."

"That's right."

Accompanying them, Gui Wuchang added, "The Netherworld Sect is also willing to provide intelligence support; the intelligence sources we control are the most extensive and well-informed in the cultivation world." (End of chapter)
