Mount Jiuhua, the eighth mountain, Asura Mountain. Lu Xuan wielded his sword like lightning, killing Flame Demons after Flame Demons. He searched for Asuras born in the mountain, and even Asura Kings.
This was already the third month since Lu Xuan's return from the Central Plains. During this time, the entire Sky Sword Continent was calm and peaceful. In fact, this was the normal state of the Sky Sword Continent. Everyone was busy with their own duties, and there was no major event that could easily shake the world.
Ever since Saul escaped from the Central Plains under the joint efforts of Lu Xuan and the others, he had completely disappeared, as if he had never existed.
In the first month, the Central Plains was still on high alert against the Demonic Beast Wave. The Jiuhua Alliance had sent out a large number of people to search for Saul, but with the strength of the people sent out by the Alliance, it was simply impossible to find Saul. Not to mention them, even if Lu Xuan and the others personally searched for him, as long as Saul wanted to hide, they wouldn't be able to find him easily.
With no other choice, the Jiuhua Alliance could only temporarily suspend their search for Saul. The Central Plains couldn't continue to defend against the Demonic Beast Wave, and had already begun a vigorous rebuilding process.
After two months of idling in the Jiuhua Alliance, Lu Xuan couldn't restrain himself any longer, and went to Mount Jiuhua to cultivate. However, Lu Xuan had already passed the eighth mountain when he was only at the second layer of the Great Void Realm. The eighth mountain was no longer of much use to him.
He was very interested in the last mountain of Mount Jiuhua, the Life and Death Mountain, and had wanted to give it a try more than once. However, he was stopped by Ye Wenyan in the end. The Life and Death Mountain was a place where life and death could be decided with a single thought. This was no joke. Even though Lu Xuan's current strength was quite tyrannical, Ye Wenyan couldn't guarantee that he could pass through it.
Normally, with Lu Xuan's temperament, he would have gone in and given it a try. As he grew up, he had seen all sorts of storms and dangers. It wasn't the first time he had done something like pulling chestnuts out of a fire.
However, things were different now. Although Saul had been chased away by them in the Central Plains, as long as Saul was not completely dead, this matter was not over. No one knew where Saul was hiding or what he was planning. Judging from Saul's previous performance, he was definitely not a brainless person. While recovering his strength, he must be planning the next wave of attacks.
The Beast Tide in the Central Prefecture was, in fact, a brilliant move. Saul knew that he couldn't deal with the entire Sky Sword Continent by himself, so he had set his sights on the Demonic Beasts. In fact, it was just as he had expected. A large number of Demonic Beasts formed a Beast Tide and completely defeated Bei Bo Ruo. If he had more time, the entire Central Prefecture would have become his territory.
The only thing he didn't expect was that he would lose to Lu Xuan and the others again. This was also the most crucial step. His defeat had completely led to the failure of his Beast Tide plan. On the contrary, if he had withstood the attack of Lu Xuan and the others, the current situation would have been different.
Lu Xuan didn't know what Saul was planning, but he was sure that once Saul made his next move, it would definitely be more ferocious than the Beast Tide. If they couldn't stop it, then it wouldn't just be the Central Plains, but the entire Sky Sword Continent.
Before that, the only thing Lu Xuan could do was to increase his strength as much as possible. It would be best if he could use the Taiyi Fusion Technique to break through the Absolute Void Realm and reach the Transcendence Realm in one go. Unfortunately, it was too difficult. If he had entered the Life and Death Mountain, he might have gained something. However, it was obvious that he couldn't be trapped in Mount Jiuhua at such a crucial moment. It was a dead end.
An Asura King waved the sickle in its hand and charged at Lu Xuan. The sword light in Lu Xuan's hand flashed, and he executed the Asura Kill. The sword light instantly poured into the mind of the Asura King, instantly annihilating the Flame Crystal in its mind.
When Lu Xuan first entered the Asura Mountain, the Asura King here could still fight on par with Lu Xuan and even hurt Lu Xuan. But now, it seemed like it couldn't fight back against Lu Xuan anymore, and Lu Xuan gradually lost interest.
A battle without any threat would only bring him limited improvement. Only by pushing Lu Xuan to his limits would he be able to make a breakthrough. Lu Xuan let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly. He sheathed his sword and prepared to leave this place. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well head to the Heavenly Emperor Palace and challenge the War God Temple.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Lu Xuan's ears.
"Saul's trail has been discovered. Return to the Alliance Master's Mansion immediately!"
Lu Xuan's expression turned serious. It was his great-grandfather, Ye Wenyan's voice! Without hesitation, Lu Xuan left the Asura Mountain and used the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain to rush to Jiuhua City.
When Lu Xuan arrived at the Alliance Master's Mansion, all the core members of the Jiuhua Alliance were already there. From Ye Wenyan to Ye Haoran, all the core members of the Ye Family were present. Ling Jin and Bing Ling were also present. In addition, several core elders of the Jiuhua Alliance were also present.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Xuan asked, "What's going on? Saul showed up again? Where did he choose to attack this time? "
"Xuan 'er, don't worry. Sit down first." Ye Wenyan waved his hand, motioning for Lu Xuan to sit on an empty seat beside him. Then he said, "Wuhen, tell us the situation."
Ye Wuhen nodded and stood up. She was the first to hear the news. After reporting it to Ye Wenyan, she gathered everyone here.
"Saul did show up again, but the situation this time seems a little different from what we expected," Ye Wuhen said.
When Lu Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed. "What do you mean by a little different? He didn't show up in Jiuhua Alliance territory? "
Ye Wuhen grunted softly. "This time, not only did Saul not show up in Jiuhua Alliance territory, he didn't cause any trouble. Instead, he was captured."
When they heard this news, the first person who didn't believe it wasn't Lu Xuan, but Ye Wenjun. He said in astonishment, "Captured? How is this possible? Back then, in the Central Plains, we gathered the strength of the seven of us, in addition to Senior Bing Ling's Nirvana Technique. Yet, we were only able to force Saul to flee. Now, which force in the Heavenly Sword Continent could gather such a powerful lineup like ours? "
Lu Xuan's heart jumped. "Is it the Holy Temple of Eight Directions? The Sikong family? "
It was no wonder that he would think of the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. Unlike the Jiuhua Alliance, the Holy Temple of Eight Directions was more of a crooked path. They had many strange tricks up their sleeves. If they could use something to find Saul's weakness and capture him, there was a slight chance that they would be able to do so.
"It's not the Sikong family." Ye Wuhen slowly shook her head and said a name that no one expected. "It's the Illusionary God Clan."
"The Illusionary God Clan?" Everyone looked at each other. Ling Jin, however, was a little confused. Seeing everyone's surprise, she couldn't help but ask Lu Xuan, "Is this clan very powerful?"
Lu Xuan shook his head in confusion. "No. Although we're all fifth-rank clans, the strongest are the Jiuhua Alliance and the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. The Illusionary God Clan is just a new fifth-rank clan. They once relied on the support of the Holy Temple of Eight Directions to rise. They don't have the foundation or the strength. They definitely don't have the ability to capture Saul. There must be something fishy going on! "
