692. Chapter 690: Is this the Lei Huo Dan Ge?

A moment later, he took out a can of gleaming golden 'Thunderbolt Clear Qi Pill' and, satisfied, handed it to Han Han Yue.

"Please accept my thanks, Pavilion Master."

Han Han Yue bowed slightly and said gratefully.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "No need for courtesy."

"The Lei Huo Dan Ge exists to meet cultivators demand for high-quality pills. I hope your master can use this pill to raise his cultivation."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to say goodbye to Han Han Yue, two mysterious cultivators suddenly appeared at the door.

The two were dressed in black robes, their faces shrouded in a layer of dim black mist, exuding a strong demonic aura.

Their appearance made Lu Yuan's heart stir: "Could they be the two who just came to take the reserved pills?"

Lu Yuan gestured to Han Han Yue, indicating she should first hide inside the shop, and gave the same signal to the other staff.

He opened the door and went to meet the two mysterious cultivators head-on.

One of the black-robed cultivators muttered softly, "Is this the Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

"It looks quite good."

The other black-robed cultivator snorted, "No more talk—we just came to take those pills."

Lu Yuan felt a bit uneasy, but he did his best to stay calm and smiled, saying, "Sorry, you're late."

"I already handed it over to another customer just now."

The black-robed cultivator's face twisted, "Bullshit!"

"We had reserved them long ago—there couldn't be anyone else!"

Lu Yuan feigned surprise and said, "Really?"

"Too bad I clearly remember you never reserved any pills in advance."

The black-robed cultivator angrily drew his magic staff from his waist, pointing it threateningly at Lu Yuan: "Kid! You're asking for death!"

"Hand over those pills!"

Lu Yuan's expression grew solemn; he sensed the black-robed cultivator's body filled with dark power.

"These two cultivators are not simple; they resemble the two mysterious cultivators from earlier." Lu Yuan felt alert.

Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er sensed something amiss and quietly peered from inside the shop at the situation at the door.

The two exchanged a glance and, in tacit understanding, stepped out.

Su Liyan held the Ice Crystal Long Whip, its cold light flashing.

Zi Xi'er unfolded a pair of wings, pure immortal aura spreading.

Seeing the situation tense, Lu Yuan on the spot formed a stark opposition.

The black-robed cultivator sneered, "You young people are too arrogant!"

"Get lost!"

Zi Xi'er gave a cold smile, "We will not retreat."

"If you want trouble, don't blame us for fighting back."

Su Liyan raised her Ice Crystal Long Whip, "Let me show you what thunderous force means!"

The powers of fire and ice collided above the Lei Huo Dan Ge, and a fierce battle erupted.

In the secret chamber of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng sat facing each other.

The secret chamber was filled with a mysterious and tense atmosphere.

Feng Tianfeng wore a black robe, her eyes sharp and cold; she was a strong-willed female cultivator skilled in interrogation.

Facing the two black-robed demonic cultivators, Feng Tianfeng asked, "Why did you come to steal the pills of the Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

"Where does the demonic aura emanating from you come from?"

The black-robed demonic cultivators' faces were twisted, yet they remained silent.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, realizing that if the matter were not handled properly, endless trouble would follow.

He walked to Feng Tianfeng's side, "If they are willing to transform their demonic aura into the spiritual power of orthodox cultivators and cooperate with us, I think we can exempt them from punishment."

Feng Tianfeng furrowed her brows, "You mean they can use the Lei Huo Dan Ge's unique profound arts and immortal methods?"

Lu Yuan nodded with a smile, "Exactly."

Although somewhat risky, Lu Yuan believed that only through cooperation could they unravel the mystery of their hidden demonic aura and also guide their power onto the righteous path.

Feng Tianfeng glanced at the black-robed demonic cultivators and said softly, "Consider this: transform your demonic aura into the spiritual power of orthodox cultivators, cooperate with the Lei Huo Dan Ge, and you can be exempt from all punishment."

Her tone icy, "Otherwise..."

One of the black-robed demonic cultivators showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but ultimately nodded.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; this was a compromise solution.

Perhaps, through cooperation they could find a way to resist the demonic aura and help these black-robed demonic cultivators return to the righteous path.

"Then, please provide us with the relevant information we need."

Lu Yuan asked that black-robed demonic cultivator.

After some conversation, the black-robed demonic cultivator told them the general background of themselves and their companions.

Originally, they were cultivators who had lost their homeland in war and become displaced.

Unable to compare with orthodox cultivators, they turned to dark power.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a hint of sympathy.

Perhaps, after cooperation, they could return to the right path and eliminate the demonic aura on themselves.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan entered a quiet conference hall, where Xu Jing and Xiao Ning were discussing how to place the beautiful woman rescued from the auction.

Xiao Ning lightly tapped the table and proposed, "Let's first let her regain consciousness and find a safe place to temporarily settle her."

"After all, we still aren't sure what her identity and purpose are."

"You're right."

Xu Jing nodded, "Only by figuring out her situation can we better protect her and decide what to do next."

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, knowing that his identity as a demon lord might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

He must act carefully, otherwise not only will it implicate himself, but it could also endanger the entire Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's solemn expression and softly comforted, "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to protect ourselves and Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, "I know you're all smart, I believe we will definitely get through this difficulty."

Just as they were discussing how to place that beautiful woman, a disciple of Lei Huo Dan Ge rushed in, panic-stricken.

"What's wrong?" Miss Xiao Ning asked immediately.

The disciple gasped, "Someone has broken into Lei Huo Dan Ge!"

"Moreover, their strength is formidable."

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expressions instantly turned solemn.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, two cold glances flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"We need to go check it out right away!" Lu Yuan said resolutely.

Xu Jing nodded, "Yes, if we don't go investigate the situation now, there will definitely be trouble."

They quickly left the council hall, leading the many disciples as they rushed swiftly toward the main hall of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw a scene of utter chaos.

The neatly arranged elixirs and treasures were scattered all over the floor.

Just as Lu Yuan and the others were stunned, a powerful aura suddenly surged in from outside the hall.

They hurriedly looked up, only to see a figure flashing past at lightning speed, making it hard for the eye to catch. (End of chapter)
