Stepping into the Scarlet Flame Palace, Lu Xuan's plan was already half successful. This time, he brought a total of 25 experts from the Nangong family. With so many people erupting at the same time, it was enough to cause a huge commotion in the Scarlet Flame Palace.
While walking, Yi Yong transmitted his voice to Lu Xuan, "There are four excellent places for cultivation in the Red Flame Palace. They were formed by the Nangong family using a formation to extract the power of fire from an earth vein and converge it at one point. These four places are the East Palace, the West Palace, the North Palace, and the Nangong Palace. Among them, the Nangong Palace has the strongest power of fire. The expert at the pinnacle of the Taixu Realm who guards the Red Flame Palace lives in the Nangong Palace, and the Nangong Palace is where the inheritance of the Nangong family is stored.
"As for the Eastern Palace, the Western Palace, and the Northern Palace, they are where the three elders are stationed. I am currently stationed in the Eastern Palace. Later, I will make use of this opportunity to stir up trouble and lure out the pinnacle Taixu Stage expert in the Southern Palace. Only then will I have a chance to enter the Southern Palace and obtain the inheritance."
As Yi Yong spoke, Lu Xuan listened quietly. However, at that moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "Stop right there."
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, but he quickly suppressed the waves in his heart. He could clearly feel that the person behind him was exuding a powerful aura, and just a moment ago, a divine mind had already swept over him. However, it should not have been able to reveal any flaws.
Lu Xuan and Yi Yong turned around at the same time. Lu Xuan did not panic, but he pretended to be terrified as he looked at Yi Yong.
Yi Yong, on the other hand, appeared extremely indifferent. He respectfully bowed towards this person and said, "Greetings, Senior Yuan Bai. Xuan 'er, why aren't you bowing to Senior Yuan Bai yet? If you can receive a single word of guidance from Senior Yuan Bai, you'll benefit endlessly from it."
Lu Xuan understood in his heart when he heard this. This person was probably the expert of the Fang Clan that was at the peak of the Grand Void Realm, Fang Yuan Bai. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior Zhong Xuan greets Senior Yuan Bai."
Fang Yuanbai's gaze swept past Yi Yong and then shifted to Lu Xuan. He frowned and asked, "Zhong Yong, who is this? How dare you bring outsiders into the Red Flame Palace? "
Yi Yong cursed in his heart. This old fart shouldn't be meditating in the Southern Palace. Why would he come out and run around? Although he thought this way, he didn't dare to be negligent. He showed a flattering smile and said, "Senior Yuan Bai, you misunderstood. He is a nephew of the Zhong family. Now that he is about to break through, I saw that the Fire Force in the Red Flame Palace is very strong, so I wanted to bring him here to find an opportunity to break through. I really didn't mean to violate the rules."
"Nephew?" Fang Yuanbai was even more suspicious. "As far as I know, wasn't your Zhong Family exterminated? Where did you get your nephew from? "
"Senior Yuan Bai, you may not know this, but because my nephew was in his mother's house, he narrowly escaped. I only found out recently and spent a lot of effort to find him. Now, apart from me, my Zhong Family only has this bloodline left. It's rare that his talent is not bad, so I want to nurture him well." Yi Yong spoke very naturally and without any flaws.
Fang Yuan Bai revealed a slightly enlightened expression and said, "I see. Since he is the only descendant of your Zhong Family, it is reasonable to nurture him well …"
Just as he was speaking, Fang Yuanbai suddenly attacked! In an instant, he attacked rapidly towards Lu Xuan. He bent his fingers into claws and grabbed at Lu Xuan's neck, as though he was going to strangle Lu Xuan to death!
Yi Yong turned pale with fright and couldn't stop it in time. Lu Xuan's senses were extremely sharp and he reacted the moment Fang Yuan Bai made his move. He subconsciously wanted to use the Wind and Thunder Transformation to dodge, but at that crucial moment, he forcefully resisted this impulse. He bet that Fang Yuan Bai was just testing him. A seventh level Origin Realm martial artist would definitely not be able to dodge Fang Yuan Bai's attack. If he dodged, he would completely expose a flaw.
He saw Lu Xuan standing in the same spot in a daze, allowing Fang Yuan Bai to strangle him. It was as though Fang Yuan Bai only needed to release a force and Lu Xuan would instantly perish.
At this moment, Yi Yong finally had the chance to speak. He quickly rushed to Lu Xuan's side and shouted anxiously, "Senior Lu Xuan, what is the meaning of this? I, Zhong Yong, have always been a responsible elder of the Fang Clan. Even if I don't have any merits, I have worked hard. Are you going to eliminate the only bloodline of my Zhong Clan just because I brought Lu Xuan into the Red Flame Palace? "
Seeing Yi Yong's anxiousness and Lu Xuan's panic, Fang Yuan Bai revealed a trace of a smile. He slowly released his hand and said, "Elder Zhong, don't worry. This old one is just testing your nephew's strength. En, not bad. A seventh level Origin Realm martial artist. He can be considered a good talent. Since he is about to breakthrough, then coming to the Red Flame Palace to cultivate isn't a big deal. This old one isn't an unreasonable person. Elder Zhong, I understand your loyalty."
Yi Yong's heart finally calmed down. He had guessed that Fang Yuan Bai was just testing him. Half of his anxiousness was real and the other half was an act. Of course, he was afraid that Fang Yuan Bai would really hurt Lu Xuan. After all, the information from the Nine Eastern Union stated that Lu Xuan's identity wasn't ordinary.
"I see ….." Yi Yong let out a breath of relief and reprimanded Lu Xuan, "Xuan 'er, it's rare for Elder Yuan Bai to personally test your strength. Hurry up and thank Elder Yuan Bai."
Lu Xuan immediately thanked Fang Yuan Bai with fear and trepidation. But it was obvious that he was still in a state of shock. Of course, this was also an act. Lu Xuan might not have dodged Fang Yuan Bai's attack, but with his current body refinement strength, Fang Yuan Bai wouldn't be able to instantly kill him. If Fang Yuan Bai really wanted to kill him, then Lu Xuan would instantly explode with his body refinement strength and the power of his bloodline. Even if he suffered some minor injuries, he wouldn't die instantly.
Fang Yuan Bai accepted Lu Xuan's thanks as if it was a matter of course. Then he smiled faintly and took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Lu Xuan, saying, "This bottle of pills is for you. It will be of great help to your breakthrough. Cultivate well and in the future, you will be able to serve the Fang family like your uncle. The Fang family will definitely not mistreat you."
Was this a slap in the face followed by a carrot? Lu Xuan snickered in his heart, but he still respectfully accepted the pills. Yi Yong also expressed his gratitude to Fang Yuan Bai on Lu Xuan's behalf.
Seeing that Fang Yuan Bai was about to turn around and leave, Lu Xuan and Yi Yong both let out sighs of relief. Although this situation was beyond their expectations, it was still a daunting experience without any mishaps. Otherwise, they wouldn't want to have a direct confrontation with Fang Yuan Bai.
But just as Fang Yuan Bai was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped and turned his head back, saying, "Wait!"
Lu Xuan and Yi Yong's hearts, which had just calmed down, suddenly tensed up again. Could it be that they had exposed some sort of flaw?
