674. Chapter 672: Exploring the Dark Forest

This pair of treasures was specially prepared for her by Zi Xi'er, and they can enhance her power.

Lu Yuan looked at the treasure in Su Liyan's hand and felt an incredible energy surge into his body.

This energy made him feel more exhilarated, as if it could help him perform better in battle.

After finishing today's work in the Lei Huo Dan Ge alchemy chamber, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan ventured into the dark forest under the cover of night.

This forest was shrouded in heavy darkness, the ground covered with thick layers of fallen leaves and rotting branches.

Lu Yuan looked up at the dense canopy, where only faint starlight filtered through the night.

He lightly tapped an ancient giant tree nearby with his finger, as if he could hear a mysterious echo from the surroundings.

"Su Liyan, demonic cultivator underlings have sent news about the Nether Shade Fruit."

Lu Yuan said softly.

"Nether Shade Fruit?"

Su Liyan furrowed her brows, "What is this?"

Lu Yuan explained, "It is said that the Nether Shade Fruit has special properties, alleviating the rejection of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy and aiding in cultivation advancement."

Su Liyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "This is a major discovery for demonic cultivators."

She continued, "How did that demonic cultivator obtain this information?"

"He successfully gathered some clues and confirmed the existence of the Nether Shade Fruit."

Lu Yuan continued, "This is a huge opportunity for demonic cultivators."

Su Liyan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why didn't he go look for the Nether Shade Fruit himself?"

Lu Yuan sighed, "This dark forest is full of dangers; only we have the ability and wisdom to cope with its various trials."

"Moreover, the demonic cultivator's subordinates worry that if he himself went to seek the Nether Shade Fruit, it would likely draw attention from others, even the Blood Moon Sect."

Su Liyan nodded in understanding.

She understood that the Nether Shade Fruit would attract great attention.

"We must find the Nether Shade Fruit as soon as possible and send it back to Lei Huo Dan Ge," Lu Yuan said.

"Increasing the quality and quantity of pills will be our greatest advantage against the Blood Moon Sect."

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, "Don't worry, Lu Yuan."

"As long as you lead us forward, I will give you my full support."

Meanwhile, the long-inactive Blood Moon Sect began to seethe.

Xueying excitedly issued an order: "We must seize the Nether Shade Fruit! Restore our former glory!"

With his slogan, the evil cultivators below also began to shout.

They all hoped to rely on this to become stronger.

At the summit of Floating Cloud Peak, sect masters and senior disciples from various schools gathered to discuss a joint plan to resist the demonic cultivator forces.

Floating Cloud Peak was suffused with rich immortal energy, and dazzling rosy light showered down on everyone, making them feel light and holy.

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Zi Xi'er, among others, stood with the Profound Yellow Sect, listening to other sects' proposals and suggestions for the plan of action.

Even though some sects were dissatisfied with the Profound Yellow Sect's high-handed attitude, at this moment they all chose to set aside their prejudices and jointly resist the enemy.

Profound Yellow Sect Sect Master Zi Cui Ling rose solemnly and announced loudly, "Based on everyone's suggestions and opinions, I have decided to set an ambush in Rosy Light Valley near the Artifact Crafting Sect."

"We will mobilize several Nascent Soul Stage experts to participate in this operation and open it to all cultivators willing to join the battle."

Before her voice even faded, the scene erupted in cheers.

Every cultivator knows this is a rare opportunity; if they perform outstandingly, they may gain recognition and rewards from the Ziyun Clan.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly as a doubt arose in his heart.

He knew that Rosy Light Valley was a mysterious and perilous place, hiding various unknown dangers.

But he also understood that in this operation, one must pay the corresponding price to gain victory.

"Lu Yuan, do you think we should participate in this operation?"

Su Liyan's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the woman before him.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This is a difficult decision, but we have a duty to protect Lei Huo Dan Ge and Heavenly Wind City."

"If we can obtain the Nether Shade Fruit in the operation and enhance our cultivation, that will be our greatest advantage against the demonic cultivator forces."

Su Liyan nodded, "You're right."

Zi Xi'er lightly patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, "If so, let us join without hesitation."

"Only by personally experiencing life-and-death trials can one truly grasp the courage and wisdom needed on the path of cultivation."

Lu Yuan looked at the two women before him, his heart filled with gratitude and determination.

He knew he was fighting not only to cultivate his own strength, but also for the safety of Lei Huo Dan Ge and Heavenly Wind City.

Soon after the meeting on Floating Cloud Peak ended, the Profound Yellow Sect issued an expedition notice, attracting cultivators to join the battle and promising generous rewards to boost morale.

Several days later, in the mist-shrouded Rosy Light Valley, dozens of Nascent Soul Stage experts and a large number of cultivators gathered together.

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and others stood alongside the other sect masters at the forefront, ready to launch this decisive battle.

"Begin!" Zi Xi'er transmitted to Lu Yuan and the others, "We must find the Nether Shade Fruit as quickly as possible and send it back to Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan nodded, his right hand gripping the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword imbued with powerful immortal energy, ready to face the upcoming challenges.

In the central district of Azure Cloud City, Yun Fei was preparing the upcoming mission inside the hall of the Profound Yellow Sect.

He sorted magical implements and elixirs while pondering how to achieve a breakthrough in this operation.

At that moment, footsteps and low voices came from outside the door.

Yun Fei lifted his head and saw a beautiful, charming woman walk into the hall.

"Su Liyan?"

Yunfei blinked slightly, and a hint of confusion rose in his heart.

Su Liyan smiled as she walked toward him, "You are the genius Yunfei of the Profound Yellow Sect, right?"

"I've heard of you; I'm very happy to meet you."

"Sect Master Su, what brings you here?"

Yunfei asked, somewhat confused.

Su Liyan smiled, "Actually, there's nothing special; I just wanted to see this astonishing talent."

Afterwards, Lu Yuan, who had been standing behind Su Liyan, also entered the main hall.

He held a small medicine bottle, inside which dazzling lightning light flickered.

"This is prepared for you."

Lu Yuan handed the medicine bottle to Yunfei, "Inside is the Thunderbolt Battle Pill I recently refined; it should help you."

Yunfei took the Thunderbolt Battle Pill, his heart stirred.

He knew the Thunderbolt Battle Pill was an extremely precious immortal pill, possessing extraordinary power.

Being able to receive the recognition and help of an expert like Lu Yuan was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him. (End of chapter)
