853. Chapter 851 They Are Doomed to Destruction

Su Liyan spoke, breaking the silence.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, gave a slight smile: "Don't worry, we have our own plan."

"But True Lord Po Tian and Hong Lietian are powerful; how should we face them?"

Su Liyan furrowed her brows, showing a hint of worry.

Lu Yuan gave her a deep look: "Trust me, we will handle everything."

Just then, a knocking came from outside the door; a figure flashed into the secret room—it was Zi Xi'er, her face showing a trace of anxiety.

"Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, I have something to inform you of." Zi Xi'er's expression was solemn.

"What happened?" Lu Yuan's voice remained calm.

"The situation of the Miao Dan Sect is worsening; senior members are leaving the sect one after another, and the sect is gradually declining." Zi Xi'er said quickly.

After discussion, the three decided to go to the Miao Dan Sect to check the sect's true situation.

When they arrived at the Miao Dan Sect, a scene of devastation met their eyes.

Before the sect gate, dust and smoke billowed; the place was in ruins, and the banners on the high tower swayed, about to fall.

"This is the consequence of the previous plan."

Lu Yuan said lightly.

Su Liyan let out a soft sigh, feeling powerless about her own strength.

Zi Xi'er, however, gave a cold smile; she looked at the cultivators in the chaos, her eyes flashing with a hint of severity and contempt.

"The Miao Dan Sect is now like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—doomed to collapse."

Zi Xi'er's voice carried a trace of coldness.

Lu Yuan met with Venerable Huang and said seriously: "Venerable Huang, before I leave the Southern Continent I still have some things to do; I want to make some preparations for the Southern Continent Branch. What do you think?"

Venerable Huang furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, then said: "Lu Yuan, I understand your plan, but some matters need careful consideration; after all, the situation in the Southern Continent is not optimistic."

Lu Yuan nodded, showing understanding, but he was still unwilling to leave just like that; he felt a sense of responsibility and mission toward the Southern Continent.

Venerable Huang continued: "In some situations, using the Aid Calamity Pill is also beneficial; it can help you get through a crisis, but it may also bring unexpected consequences."

"I will consider this matter further; you go back and make your preparations."

Lu Yuan secretly pondered Venerable Huang's words; he had also heard of the Aid Calamity Pill's use, but he had always been wary.

Returning to the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan summoned Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er to discuss the affairs of the Southern Continent Branch.

Su Liyan flicked her sleeves and laughed lightly: "This mission seems to be another tough adventure, but with the three of us working together, we can surely turn danger into safety."

Zi Xi'er glanced at Lu Yuan lightly and said softly: "Lu Yuan, we are fellow travelers; naturally we should work together, but we must also act cautiously—the situation in the Southern Continent is complex, and any move could trigger a chain reaction."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement; he deeply knew Zi Xi'er's caution and held her in respect.

On the Southern Continent's coastline, a small flying vessel rose slowly; Lu Yuan and Su Liyan stood on the deck, their gazes fixed firmly toward the Central Continent.

During the voyage across the sea, the flying vessel encountered fierce sea beast attacks several times, but thanks to their seamless coordination and great strength, they finally reached the Central Continent safely.

The flying vessel slowly descended at the Central Continent's port; after disembarking, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan immediately felt the differences between this city and the Southern Continent.

The streets of the Central Continent were bustling with people coming and going; various cultivators and merchants passed through, giving them a feeling of hustle and bustle.

Su Liyan reminded Lu Yuan that the powers of the Central Continent were intricately intertwined, lacking the clear rules of the Southern Continent, so they needed to act with extra caution.

Lu Yuan nodded gratefully, at the same time realizing that the challenges ahead would become even more severe.

They moved through the city, seeking their destination—a cultivators' gathering place hidden deep in the alleys.

This was a place where Central Continent cultivators exchanged information and traded resources, and also an important venue for them to contact local cultivators.

Walking down the narrow alley, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan felt the distinctive aura of the Central Continent—different from the freshness and tranquility of the Southern Continent; here it was more noisy and bustling, each cultivator emanating a strong aura that made people instinctively wary.

Lu Yuan gripped the map in his hand, carefully examining the routes and landmarks marked on it; he furrowed his brows, realizing that the road to the Profound Heaven Sect Main Sect would not be smooth.

The Central Continent's environmental regulations are strong, flight speed is noticeably slower than in the Southern Continent, and the conflicts among the major powers are even more headache-inducing.

Su Liyan leaned close to him and said softly: "Lu Yuan, let's first go to the Immortal Cultivation City of Dream Source City; it is an important hub of the Central Continent, and perhaps we can find a solution there."

Lu Yuan nodded, and the two walked toward Dream Source City in unison.

The scene of Dream Source City unfolded before their eyes: tall buildings stood in rows, cultivators shuttled through the streets, and the auras of various immortal arts intertwined in the air, giving them a sense of the city's unique charm.

They entered a small tavern and found a quiet corner to sit.

Lu Yuan looked around, observing the coming and going cultivators, and inwardly stayed on guard.

Su Liyan passed him a cup of clear tea and said softly: "We must act carefully; the situation here is more complicated than we imagined."

"I know."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "If we want to find the Profound Heaven Sect Main Sect, we must first understand the situation here and gather more clues."

Just as they were discussing, a commotion arose; three unfamiliar cultivators hurried into the tavern, their cold gazes fixed on Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

They wore black robes, their aura fierce, obviously prepared for this.

One of them waved a hand, shattering the cups and plates on the table, revealing their intention to wield magical artifacts.

Su Liyan gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, eyeing the opponent warily.

"Kid, I heard you're heading for the Profound Heaven Sect Main Sect?"

"Don't dream; the Central Continent is no place for you Southern Continent cultivators to run wild."

The leader of the cultivators spoke provocatively.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly; he did not want to cause trouble, but he would certainly not show weakness.

"We are merely passing through Dream Source City; we harbor no ill intent."

"You'd better not seek your own death."

The cultivators sneered, completely unmoved by Lu Yuan's threat.

"Bullshit!"

"Today I'll let you taste the might of Zhongzhou cultivators!"

Having said that, they each released powerful immortal technique auras, preparing to deal with Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

A hint of fighting intent flashed in Su Liyan's icy gaze; she knew there was no room to retreat now, she could only give it her all.

She waved the Ice Crystal Long Whip, frost condensing on the whip, to meet the enemy's attack.

At the same time, Lu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, and with agile immortal technique executed the Five Elements Escape Technique, swiftly dodging the enemy's attack. (End of chapter)
