791. Chapter 789: I have a mission; I'll entrust this to you.

Yuan Yu Gao felt the immense power brought by the sword's gleam, and his expression instantly turned solemn.

He immediately brandished his long sword, displaying the Youhun Sect's specialty in destruction and cunning.

Lu Yuan slightly sidestepped to avoid a sharp sword qi, then silently activated the Heavenly Dipper Formation; the surrounding space instantly became eerie and intangible.

Yuan Yu Gao was highly skilled in offense, but faced with Lu Yuan's exquisite formation, he seemed unable to find an opening.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Yuan Yu Gao roared in anger, and his sword technique grew even more ferocious.

Lu Yuan put away his Thunderfire Sword, a hint of contempt in his voice: "You're nothing but a junior of the Youhun Sect."

As his words fell, he formed hand seals: "Five Elements Escape Technique: Heavenly Soar!"

Instantly, under everyone's astonished gaze, Lu Yuan transformed into a fleeting, almost invisible flower‑like shadow.

He quickly approached Yuan Yu Gao and, before the latter could react, tapped several of his acupoints.

Yuan Yu Gao instantly felt numb all over, his strength completely drained.

Expressions of anger and helplessness intertwined on his face.

"Continuing to fight would just be pointless effort on your part."

Lu Yuan looked at Yuan Yu Gao's limp, dangling hands and said coldly,

He turned and walked away, paying no further heed to Yuan Yu Gao, who could no longer fight.

After Lu Yuan defeated the Youhun Sect's Yuan Yu Gao, he immediately returned to Lei Huo Dan Ge to settle Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan, carefully checking their bodies for any discomfort.

Satisfied that they were unharmed, Lu Yuan reassured them: "Next, we will undertake a crucial cultivation plan; I need you to stay at Lei Huo Dan Ge to manage its affairs."

Hearing Lu Yuan's arrangement, Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan felt a bit reluctant, but they expressed understanding and support.

As Lu Yuan's partners, they deeply understood that cultivation was the most important matter.

Moreover, Lu Yuan immediately passed on some of his operational insights to them.

"Zi Xi'er, Su Liyan, success requires effort and patience."

"During my absence, you two must keep Lei Huo Dan Ge's daily operations running smoothly."

Lu Yuan earnestly told the two, "Furthermore, if you encounter any problems in management, you may consult me at any time."

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan nodded seriously.

They clearly understood that this was a rare opportunity to learn more about management and operations while keeping Lei Huo Dan Ge running normally.

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, where are you going?"

Zi Xi'er couldn't help but ask.

They had always been curious about Lu Yuan's future plans.

Lu Yuan smiled and explained: "I have received a mission to go to the Black Flame Sect and exchange cultivation insights with its sect leader, True Lord Po Tian."

"This is a mission entrusted to me by the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

Su Liyan's eyes flickered with envy: "True Lord Po Tian is a legendary figure in the cultivation world; you're fortunate to be able to exchange with him."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's an excellent opportunity."

"We all know that if this mission is completed successfully, it will be a great boon for me."

"Moreover, it will expand our Lei Huo Dan Ge's network of connections in the cultivation world."

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan both expressed their support and blessings.

Although they will remain at Lei Huo Dan Ge, they understand that only Lu Yuan's growth can better protect Lei Huo Dan Ge and those around him.

During the mission, Lu Yuan noticed that some inner‑door disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect were also participating.

His heart stirred; he realized this might cause concern for the already‑defeated Youhun Sect.

After all, for the Youhun Sect, making an enemy of the Profound Heaven Sect is not a wise choice.

Lu Yuan skillfully used this opportunity; during his exchange with True Lord Po Tian, he mentioned that he once had a close relationship with the Profound Heaven Sect.

True Lord Po Tian immediately became interested and promised to help Lu Yuan resolve any trouble the Youhun Sect might cause.

Thus, before leaving the Black Flame Sect, Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian devised a plan of action.

They decided to defeat the Youhun Sect through this mission, completely resolving the issue and cutting off its threat to Lei Huo Dan Ge at the root.

After returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan secretly discussed the entire plan with Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan.

Upon hearing it, they immediately began the necessary preparations.

The next morning, Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan opened the doors of Lei Huo Dan Ge early, ready to welcome customers.

Today is the reopening day of the Lei Huo Dan Ge branch store.

In no time, people gathered outside, for the branch had been closed for a while and everyone was anxiously waiting.

Now they can finally purchase Qing Dan pills, Qi Refining pellets, and other immortal‑craft materials again.

Lu Yuan led True Lord Po Tian in stealthily infiltrating the Youhun Sect's stronghold.

Skillfully evading the Youhun Sect's guards, they found its leader.

"You're not dead yet?"

The Youhun Sect leader exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "You think defeating me means you've wiped us out?"

"You gravely underestimate the strength of our Lei Huo Dan Ge!"

True Lord Po Tian nodded in agreement: "Exactly!"

"The Youhun Sect thought forcing Lu Yuan to sell Lei Huo Dan Ge would be a blow to us, but in fact it only exposed your own weakness."

His words were full of intimidation, and the Youhun Sect leader instantly felt pressured.

They never expected Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian to be so powerful, and they felt no worry about their earlier threats.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan led the disciples of Lei Huo Dan Ge to demonstrate the business acumen they had learned during this period.

They focused on providing high-quality immortal cultivation materials, offering new cultivation plans, and cooperating with other forces in the cultivation world.

Yang Mei was one of the most important individuals Zi Xi'er had placed within Lei Huo Dan Ge for this plan.

She was the most skilled expert in the Youhun Sect who controlled insect weapon technology.

As the goods she crafted became more numerous and more exquisite, many customers were also attracted over.

They discussed their needs in the shop and selected fine goods.

Lei Huo Dan Ge bustled with people coming and going, and its daily customers flowed in an endless stream.

Lei Huo Dan Ge's sales rose in a straight line, its reputation among the public also rose rapidly, comparable to the days before it closed.

"I never expected that after Lei Huo Dan Ge reopened, it would attract so many cultivators so quickly."

A customer said with feeling.

"Yeah, we had waited a long time before we got the chance to buy their immortal cultivation materials again."

Another customer also let out a sigh.

As more and more people heard this conversation, the reputation of Lei Huo Dan Ge's branch grew day by day.

Under the joint efforts of Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian, the changes within the Youhun Sect were finally fully revealed. (End of chapter)
