Yi Yong didn't say anything more. He was a member of the Jiuehua Alliance, but he had never seen the emissary before. Naturally, the Fang family wouldn't know him either. As they hurried along, Yi Yong told Lu Xuan everything he'd learned from the Fang family.
"The Fang family values the inheritance of the Nangong family in the Crimson Flame Palace, so they guard it very strictly. However, the Crimson Flame City isn't the Fang family's main base, it's just a dove occupying a magpie's nest, so they didn't send all of their forces here."
Lu Xuan nodded. If this really was the Fang family's base, then it wouldn't be easy for them to succeed. After all, the Fang family was a member of the Octagonal Temple. Even if they didn't have enough resources, they still had several Virtualized Realm pinnacle cultivators. Moreover, it was said that the Sikong family also sent people to help guard the Crimson Flame City against the Nangong family's counterattack.
Yi Yong paused and continued, "In the Crimson Flame City, there are two Virtualized Realm pinnacle cultivators. One is from the Sikong family, and the other is the Fang family's Great Elder. In addition, there is another Virtualized Realm pinnacle cultivator in the Crimson Flame Palace. This is our biggest obstacle."
"Three Virtualized Realm pinnacle cultivators?" Lu Xuan frowned.
Yi Yong smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about the two Peak Virtualized Realm warriors in Red Flame City. Even though the Nangong family has suffered a great loss, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They will naturally send people to restrain them. These people won't have the chance to care about us. In fact, what we need to deal with is the warrior guarding the Red Flame Palace and the warriors of the Fang family guarding the palace."
Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief. That's more like it. They had the advantage of surprise. A Virtualized Realm pinnacle cultivator should be able to handle it. Moreover, the Crimson Flame Palace was the Nangong family's main base. Fighting in the Crimson Flame Palace might be the Nangong family's home ground or the Fang family's home ground.
"Apart from these, the Red Flame Palace usually has three Elders taking turns to guard it. It's my turn tomorrow." Yi Yong continued, "At that time, I will bring you to the Red Flame Palace as a distant nephew of my family. There shouldn't be any problem. But just in case, we still have to talk to each other."
Yi Yong had come prepared. His fake identity with the Fang family was that of a cultivator family in the Jiuhua Alliance. However, due to a conflict of interest, the family had been wiped out. Yi Yong had been lucky enough to escape, and had made his way to the Octagonal Temple. The identity he had arranged for Lu Xuan was that of a long-lost nephew. As the only two survivors of the family, it was reasonable for him to treat Lu Xuan well.
As the two of them discussed the details, they quickly approached Crimson Flame City. With Yi Yong's identity, it was easy for the guards of Crimson Flame City to let them through. Yi Yong brought Lu Xuan to his residence. They would have to wait until tomorrow to act.
In Crimson Flame City, there was an indescribable solemn atmosphere. It was obviously a large city, but it did not give off a flourishing feeling. It was no wonder that the Nangong family would organize people to cause trouble from time to time, causing the Fang family to be incomparably nervous. The security of the city was extremely tight. Many martial artists had already left this troublesome place and headed to other places to develop, not wanting to be involved in this storm.
The entire night was spent in meditation for Lu Xuan. From the moment he entered the city, his cultivation level had been firmly controlled at the seventh level of the Origin Realm. Unless it was the moment to make a move, he would definitely not reveal any aura of the Great Void Realm.
"Let's go." Yi Yong's expression was a little indifferent as he spoke. At this moment, there was no longer any trace of respect on his face towards Lu Xuan. Instead, he put on the airs of a senior and walked straight ahead after finishing his sentence. As the head of the undercover, Yi Yong's acting skills were unquestionable.
Lu Xuan knew that his acting skills were definitely not comparable to Yi Yong's. Hence, he pretended to be a taciturn person and tried to speak as little as possible. He followed behind Yi Yong with a blank expression as they headed towards the Crimson Flame Palace.
Yi Yong's reputation in the Fang family was obviously not low. Lu Xuan and Lu Xuan met a few patrolling martial artists along the way. When they saw Yi Yong, they would respectfully greet him and address him as Elder Zhong. Yi Yong was now naturally called Zhong Yong, and Lu Xuan was also called Zhong Xuan.
Not long after, a magnificent palace appeared in front of Lu Xuan. The towering palace walls were all built with Blazing Flame Stones. Although the Blazing Flame Stones were not as precious as the Fire Leaving Rock, it was still very expensive to build such a thick and tall city wall with pure Blazing Flame Stones.
Due to the Blazing Flame Stones, Lu Xuan could feel the temperature rising before they even got close to the city walls. To a martial artist who cultivated fire attribute cultivation techniques, this feeling was very comfortable. In fact, before the Crimson Flame City was in turmoil, this was the place where countless martial artists who cultivated fire attribute cultivation techniques resided.
As they approached the main entrance of the Crimson Flame Palace, they saw a blazing flame symbol hanging on the door plate with the words "Crimson Flame Palace" written on the side. If Nangong Lie were here, he would probably sigh with emotion. This used to be their territory, but now they had to sneak in. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was not a member of the Nangong family, so he did not feel much.
Yi Yong brought Lu Xuan closer. One of the martial artists who guarded the main entrance of the Crimson Flame Palace walked out and smiled at Yi Yong, "Elder Zhong, you've come to change shifts so early today?"
Yi Yong laughed and said, "Isn't Commander Fang also guarding here? For people like us who cultivate fire attribute cultivation techniques, the Crimson Flame Palace is an excellent place to cultivate. If possible, I would like to be stationed here all the time."
Commander Fang laughed and said, "Elder Zhong, you must be joking. As long as you ask the Patriarch, there won't be any problem."
Yi Yong curled his lips and said, "Come on, there are only a few places with the best effects to cultivate in the Crimson Flame Palace. Everyone is eyeing it eagerly. How can I occupy it all the time? Alright, enough chit-chat. I'll go in first. "
After saying that, Yi Yong waved his hand and wanted to go in. However, he was stopped again. Commander Fang looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Elder Zhong, this little brother … I'm afraid it's not good for him to enter the Crimson Flame Palace, right?"
Lu Xuan looked at him and remained silent, waiting for Yi Yong to deal with it. Yi Yong said, "This is a surviving nephew of the Zhong family that I've found with great difficulty. He's very talented. This time, I brought him to the Crimson Flame Palace to broaden his horizons and absorb the Crimson Flame Force in the Crimson Flame Palace. Commander Fang, you have to give me face, right?"
"This …" Commander Fang seemed to be in a difficult position. Yi Yong sneered in his heart. However, he took out a Fire Leaving Stone of high purity and stuffed it into Commander Fang's hand. For the Fang family, a Fire Leaving Stone of high purity was more popular than a Primordial Stone of high quality.
Commander Fang immediately smiled when he sensed the dense fire energy from the Fire Leaving Stone. He laughed and said, "Since he's Elder Zhong's nephew, I naturally can't stop him. However, Elder Zhong, don't run around with him. After all, Ancestor Yuan Bai is also in the palace. It won't be good if he sees him."
"Of course I know. Thank you, Commander Fang. Xuan 'er, let's go." Yi Yong smiled and cupped his hands. Then, he led Lu Xuan into the Crimson Flame Palace. Stepping into the palace, Lu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. They had passed the first hurdle.
