Lu Changsheng rushes to Red Peak Immortal City to aid his family, burning spirit stones for speed. Meanwhile, the enemy's Nine Spirits True Monarch celebrates the capture of Red Peak Immortal City and plans a psychological war against Yue Country and Jiang Country by spreading news of fallen True Monarchs. He cautiously orders Nether Moon Saintess to hold the city, suspecting Xuanjian True Monarch has gone to seek help. In the prisoner of war camp, Li Feiyu, now an Asura Sect steward, encounters Lu Qingxuan.

After all, he was already one hundred and forty-six years old.

If he delayed any longer, it would be impossible to break through to Core Formation.

Moreover, due to cultivating demonic techniques, having fought too much in his early years, and using the Blood Burning Secret Technique, at this age, even the attempt to reach the False Core stage posed great risks.

Reflecting on his hundred years of delay, he ultimately stopped at the False Core stage.

While his old friends had become renowned True Masters of Immortality in both Jiang Country and Yue Country, possessing several Nascent Soul Dao Companions, and many children breaking through to Core Formation, Li Feiyu felt a deep sense of emotion and trance.

He had little memory of the Lu Qingxuan in front of him.

However, through the other’s name and origins, he knew that he must be the Qilin child of his past friend.

But he was merely a False Core cultivator of the Shura Sect, an advanced-level executor.

In front of Lu Qingxuan, he couldn’t be of much help, at most, he could lessen his suffering.

"Alas..."

Seeing the familiar look in the other’s eyebrows and recalling how the other reached Core Formation through immense effort, only to end up like this, Li Feiyu felt great regret.

But persuading him to surrender and preserve his life was something he couldn’t bring himself to say.

After pondering for a moment, Li Feiyu still decided to say a few words of persuasion and then find a way to send a message to the Jinyang Sect.

The Jinyang Sect had another Qilin child of his old friend, Lu Qingshan.

If Lu Qingshan could ask the Jinyang Sect leaders to take action and offer some resources, there might be a chance to redeem Lu Qingxuan.

...

However, at this moment, in the palace of Red Peak Immortal City.

The Nether Moon Saintess erased the prohibitions from the storage rings, storage bags, and storage treasures, allowing her cultivators to clear them out.

"What is this?"

One of the cultivators looked at a luxurious brocade box with a talisman attached inside the storage ring.

From the appearance of the brocade box and the talisman on it, its extraordinary value was evident.

He took the brocade box out of the storage ring, then carefully tore off the talisman and opened it.

In that instant, a surge of scorching, fierce, destructive, and vigorous Thunderfire Extreme Yang Qi burst forth, drawing the attention of several cultivators in the hall to the box in the cultivator’s hand.

Even the Nether Moon Saintess on the main throne of the hall turned her bright eyes toward the brocade box in that cultivator’s hand.

She raised her slender hand.

Inside the brocade box, lined with purple lightning patterns and emitting a golden-red gleam, a thumb-sized piece of Thunderstrike Fosang Wood fell into the hands of the Nether Moon Saintess.

"This is..."

Although the Nether Moon Saintess did not recognize the Thunderstrike Fosang Wood.

As a Nascent Soul True Lord, she could sense the immensely potent Qi mechanism from this small piece of Thunderstrike Fosang Wood.

Realizing this small piece of wood was anything but ordinary, at least a top-level Fourth Rank treasure!

If refined into a thunderfire attribute spiritual treasure, it could greatly enhance the treasure’s power and potential!

"Who did this come from?"

The Nether Moon Saintess’s eyes were cold and deep, licking her crimson lips, wanting to know how an ordinary Core Formation cultivator had such a treasure.

If this person had obtained it from a certain secret realm or ancient cave mansion, she could dispatch someone to search again.

Through the storage ring, the cultivator immediately flipped through the ledgers.

A moment later, the person respectfully reported: "Reporting to True Lord, this item came from Qingxuan True Man’s storage ring."

"This person is a Core Formation cultivator of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family of Jiang Country..."

"Heavenly Talisman Lu Family?" The Nether Moon Saintess leaned back in her chair, habitually crossing her legs.

Her legs, brimming with powerful allure like mutton fat jade, long and beautiful, the cultivators below dared not take a look despite wanting to.

The name Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was familiar to her.

In her early years, she received a piece of information that a family called the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family in Jiang Country had, within less than a century, nurtured a Third Rank Nether Moon Wolf.

For this, she had sent a trusted aide to gather information, who eventually went missing.

Yet due to the Liangyue War and the Nascent Soul matters, she never had time to trouble the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family.

Unexpectedly, in today’s battle, she acquired such a top-level treasure from a Lu Family disciple.

If it were from another Core Formation cultivator’s storage bag, the Nether Moon Saintess would not care much.

But due to the Nine Netherhound and Ying’er incidents, she had delved deeply into the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family.

Knowing this family was far more complex than it appeared.

Now the Thunderstrike Fosang Wood further validated her suspicions!

"Where is this person? I, True Lord, must personally interrogate him!"

The Nether Moon Saintess lowered her long, beautiful legs, her figure tall and fascinating, and patted her spiritual pet, the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf.

Preparing to personally interrogate Lu Qingxuan and probe the secrets of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, to find out where he obtained such a top-level treasure.

"True Lord, please..." Immediately, a cultivator respectfully led the way.

...

Red Peak Mountain Range.

"Now that Red Peak Immortal City has fallen and the Purple Light True Lord has perished, why do you still resist, surrender to my Liang Country!"

"Surrender and you shall not die!"

As the Red Peak Immortal City was breached, the demonic armies of Liang Country and Yuan Country continuously seized control points in the Red Peak Mountain Range.

Although they didn’t know if the news of the Purple Light True Lord’s death was true or false.

But with so many demonic cultivators attacking, the cultivators from Yue Country and Jiang Country sensed something was amiss.

Some struggled fiercely, while others chose to retreat.

Lu Lingxiao, using the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique and Lu Qingxuan’s early warning, was the first to sense the danger.

So, through the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique, seeing the rising ominous and demonic evil qi, he decisively abandoned the stronghold, leading his cultivators away from the Red Peak Mountain Range’s battle lines.

However, these mountain ranges spanned far and wide, even with many flying boats, leading a group of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators to fully retreat was slow-going.

Lu Lingxiao stood on the spirit boat, always looking toward the direction of Red Peak Immortal City, observing the situation through the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique.
