718. Chapter 716: There may be more secrets hidden here.

To solve this problem, the formation masters and artifact refiners of Lei Huo Dan Ge cooperated and upgraded a set of fifth-level formations.

However, the control hub is relatively obvious, making it easy for the enemy to discover.

Lu Yuan acted cautiously, avoiding direct confrontation with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Youhun Sect and focusing on protecting himself and his companions.

He knew that at this critical juncture, only by protecting himself and his companions could he ensure the matter would be resolved smoothly.

Just as the core formation came under attack, Hong Lietian finally decided to come in person to provide support.

However, after considering the importance of the core formation, he ultimately chose to stay at Lei Huo Dan Ge to ensure safety.

Hong Lietian understood that if the core formation were destroyed, the entire spirit mine would fall into crisis.

At the same time, Zi Cui Ling hurried back to Lei Huo Dan Ge, but upon arrival she was astonished to discover that the fifth-level formation had failed, and the entire spirit mine had sunk into chaos and panic.

She deeply felt the weight of her responsibility, and the current situation posed an unprecedented challenge for Lei Huo Dan Ge as a whole.

Lu Yuan closely monitored the situation, quickly made a decision to lead the wounded in retreat, and received Hong Lietian's withdrawal order.

But Lu Yuan calmly analyzed the situation, seeking the safest exit.

He anxiously looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, saying, "You two are the last hope."

Lu Yuan's heart sank; he knew the predicament facing Lei Huo Dan Ge as a whole.

Soon after, Hong Lietian also rushed back.

He realized that as long as a suitable opportunity could be found, it might be possible to break through the encirclement.

Zi Xi'er anxiously looked toward Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, exclaiming, "You're back! The core formation has been destroyed!"

The retreat process was extremely difficult, as the Youhun Sect cultivators seemed to have dispatched large forces to block their escape route.

Inside the inn of the hidden town, Lu Yuan lay on a simple bed while Su Liyan busily bandaged his wounds, her brows furrowed.

"The core formation has failed; we must find a new solution."

At this moment, he felt a wave of weakness and fatigue, even somewhat drowsy.

However, at this moment he had no choice but to exert all his strength to protect himself and his companions, hoping to find a new way out.

He immediately seized this opportunity, leading the wounded to break through the encirclement and successfully escape the pursuit of the Youhun Sect cultivators.

Not long afterward, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan led the wounded back to Lei Huo Dan Ge.

A flash of determination crossed Lu Yuan's eyes as he said, "Please rest assured, we will certainly not let Lei Huo Dan Ge suffer defeat!"

Finally, after a fierce battle, Lu Yuan spotted an opportunity that the Youhun Sect cultivators had lightly regarded and overlooked.

He knew that now was not the time to confront the Youhun Sect cultivators head-on, but rather to quickly bring himself and his companions out of this dangerous area.

Lu Yuan employed his divine sense attack technique and thunder-attribute talisman to counter the enemy's offense, while Su Liyan used ice immortal technique and cold jade ice shards, hoping to provide stronger protection for herself and her companions.

Lu Yuan suffered severe injuries, exhausting a large amount of his spiritual power in battle.

"You should rest well; wait until your strength recovers before making plans," Su Liyan comforted softly.

The entire pavilion was in chaos, with people frantically manipulating the formations to put up full resistance.

During the retreat, they encountered fierce Youhun Sect cultivators and continually engaged in small-scale battles.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, taking a deep breath.

He knew that now was not the time to relax.

The Youhun Sect cultivators could not catch up to them for the moment, but only temporarily.

"We must seek external aid or return to Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan pondered and said, "Even if we cannot resolve this crisis, we must promptly contact allies such as the Ziyun Clan and the Black Flame Sect."

Su Liyan gently grasped Lu Yuan's hand, saying, "You will surely find a way," and she firmly believed it.

A rustling sound came from outside the inn, and under Su Liyan's vigilant gaze, a figure approached stealthily.

"You are cultivators who have escaped from the spirit mine, right?"

"It looks like you've all suffered serious injuries."

The newcomer forced a smile, yet a hint of mockery showed through.

Su Liyan's brows furrowed as a chill emanated from her body, distorting the surrounding air.

She displayed her formidable strength, intimidating that person.

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, raising the Ice Crystal Long Whip, saying, "We've already gotten into enough trouble; one more won't matter."

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the newcomer hastily turned and left.

Su Liyan scanned the surroundings, and only after confirming there were no other potential enemies did she let out a breath of relief.

As his wounds gradually healed, Lu Yuan felt relieved.

However, during his stay in this town to recuperate, he faced an important decision—how to contact the outside world for aid or return to Lei Huo Dan Ge?

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's thoughtful expression and softly said, "We had better first inquire about news from allies such as the Ziyun Clan and the Black Flame Sect."

"They might have a way to deal with the Youhun Sect, and perhaps could offer assistance."

Lu Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, besides that, there is another important target that needs investigation."

"I hinted at it before; on the way to meet the allies, we can conveniently visit your family's residence."

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan with puzzlement, not knowing what important target he had referred to.

But she believed he certainly had his plans, so she did not ask further.

When they returned to Su Clan Village, the villagers showed them great attention and curiosity.

Everyone expressed respect and gratitude to Lu Yuan, while Su Liyan felt somewhat uneasy.

However, upon entering his own home, Lu Yuan discovered an unfamiliar baby in his room.

This adorable little life was sleeping quietly.

This is...

Lu Yuan looked in surprise at the baby on the bed, "Could it be my younger brother or sister?"

Su Liyan stepped closer to look, and she also froze, "How did a child suddenly appear? Could it be some strange sorcery?"

Lu Yuan gently picked up the baby, and his divine sense entered it, confirming that the child was indeed related to him by blood.

"We can't just leave like that."

Lu Yuan said, "At least we need to figure out where this child came from."

"I think there might be more secrets hidden here."

Lu Yuan returned to his hometown with a heavy heart, the spirit ore near Lei Huo Dan Ge.

【68> He unexpectedly learned that his family had been attacked by an unknown force, filling him with guilt and worry.

He unexpectedly learned that his family had been attacked by an unknown force, his heart filled with guilt and worry.

He decided to temporarily leave the front lines and return to his hometown to visit his parents.

When he stepped through the door, his parents were anxiously awaiting his return.

Seeing Lu Yuan return safely, his father's eyes showed excitement and affection: "Child, as long as you're safe and sound, that's enough." (End of chapter)
