737. Chapter 735: Decided to make good use of this opportunity

Upon entering the core building complex, nearly everyone was breathing heavily.

Everyone realized this attack might be the Blood Moon Sect's final chance to wipe them out.

Su Liyan quietly walked up to Lu Yuan, looking slightly worried, and asked: "Mr. Lu, what should we do now?"

Lu Yuan's eyes were firm and cold: "The current emergency exceeds our expectations; we need to be even more cautious."

"I will warn everyone not to act rashly; we must stay vigilant."

While everyone waited for the next action plan, the Blood Moon Sect Nascent Soul expert lifted the veil of internal chaos and outwardly claimed that breaking through Lei Huo Dan Ge would take time.

In reality, they secretly plotted how to quickly annihilate the remaining resistance.

Meanwhile, inside the core building complex, Lu Yuan and his fellow disciples actively responded to the changing situation.

They laid out meticulous plans and used various resources to prepare for the enemy's arrival.

In the silence, only a tense atmosphere remained in the main hall.

Several hours passed, yet outside there was still no sign of the enemy.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, beginning to suspect there might be some hidden plan.

At that moment, a figure swept past the main hall entrance.

"Who goes there?" Lu Yuan shouted immediately.

The passing figure halted, revealing a familiar silhouette.

It was the teenage Zhiqiang who had once worked at Lei Huo Dan Ge.

"Zhiqiang, how did you end up here?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows.

The teenager stammered: "Not long ago I went on patrol outside, was captured by the enemy, and they forced me to guide them here."

Lu Yuan tightened his frown, seeing the fear and terror on Zhiqiang's face.

"Are the enemies outside?" Lu Yuan asked.

Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, they're waiting for us to leave the main hall."

Lu Yuan gently gripped his Lei Huo Sword, yet had no intention of going out.

He took a deep breath, deciding to make good use of this opportunity.

"Good! I understand."

Lu Yuan said firmly: "We must not act rashly; hold this place for now, and only move when everyone is ready."

Although everyone felt doubtful and puzzled about this decision, they still trusted Lu Yuan.

After all, he had always been their leader and supporter.

As the Blood Moon Sect army swiftly advanced, the mountain gate of Lei Huo Dan Ge fell into desperation.

Under the leadership of Lu Yuan, who had been entrusted in crisis, some Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples chose to resist resolutely, but there were also some who, facing desperation, chose to surrender.

This sudden surrender surprised the Blood Moon Sect, yet they did not immediately slaughter those who surrendered; instead, they incorporated them into their ranks and worked to soothe their emotions.

Clearly, the Blood Moon Sect did not reject surrenderers and even saw some utilitarian value in them.

As more and more people gave up resistance, the Blood Moon Sect happily discovered that the situation was developing in their favor.

Even after successive foundation establishment disciples surrendered, the golden core elders began to retreat, resulting in all areas outside the core building complex falling into enemy hands.

On this land stripped of freedom and hope, among the Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples who led the crowd to persist until the last moment, rose up in resistance, and ultimately died on the battlefield, Lu Yuan's heart filled with sorrow and fury.

He knew clearly that only he himself could save this declining sect.

When Lu Yuan returned to the core building complex, the hall's atmosphere fell into silence.

Everyone felt the sudden chill from behind and the growing inevitability of danger.

At dusk, the Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples waited tensely, time ticking by, yet outside there was still no sign of the enemy.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows.

He began to suspect whether this silence was the enemy's ruse.

At that moment, a chill swept from the main hall entrance.

Everyone alertly looked toward that direction, preparing to meet the enemy.

"Who goes there?"

Lu Yuan shouted coldly.

A tall, burly man appeared before them, his body exuding a strong scent of blood.

It was none other than Han Aofeng, one of the Blood Moon Sect's experts.

Han Aofeng coldly swept his gaze over the surroundings, looked at Lu Yuan, and gave a contemptuous smile.

"So you were hiding in here all along!"

"You think this can let you escape the grasp of our Blood Moon Sect?"

Lu Yuan gripped his Lei Huo Sword tightly, eyes firm and resolute: "I never hoped to escape your clutches."

"I just want to see how shameless you really are."

A flash of cold light passed through Han Aofeng's eyes: "Ignorant junior!"

"Since you say that, I'll gladly satisfy you."

As his words fell, Han Aofeng's figure flickered and instantly vanished from the spot.

The next second, he appeared before Lu Yuan, his sword thrusting straight at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's body flickered, skillfully dodging Han Aofeng's attack.

He snorted coldly, and his Lei Huo Sword began to dance swiftly.

Thunderous power condensed on the blade, tearing apart space.

At the same time, the other disciples inside the hall also launched counterattacks.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip carried Su Liyan's figure, tracing a beautiful yet deadly arc in the air.

The cold jade ice shards emitted waves of chill, bolstering her power.

Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling also joined the battle, the sisters cooperating tacitly in using immortal arts and treasures.

Zi Xi'er's Good Water Pearl released a spring, completely blocking the fierce wind Han Aofeng unleashed; while Zi Cui Ling used natural immortal arts to draw heavenly and earthly qi, laying layer upon layer of the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation around them.

The Blood Moon Sect's demonic cultivators were startled by the resistance of Lei Huo Dan Ge's disciples; they had thought this final task of extinguishing the fire seed would be simple, but they did not expect to encounter such a tenacious opponent.

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Do you see? Lei Huo Dan Ge is not to be violated!"

"We will display its power and dignity, forging an immortal legend on this land."

Demonic cultivators surrounded the core building complex of Lei Huo Dan Ge; the masses of dark figures and demonic aura made the whole environment become gloomy and terrifying.

The Lei Huo Dan Ge cultivators trapped inside the core building complex anxiously awaited the enemy's attack.

At this tense moment, Lu Yuan unfurled a specially made scouting immortal talisman to monitor the battlefield situation.

A faint spiritual energy emanated from the talisman, presenting an image for all the cultivators to watch.

They saw the Blood Moon Sect standing confidently outside, mocking Lei Huo Dan Ge.

"Haha! You Lei Huo Dan Ge are truly helpless this time!"

"What else do you have to rely on? The apocalypse has already arrived!"

Despite being in dire straits, Lu Yuan's face showed not a trace of retreat. (End of chapter)
