Nangong Lie was a little excited. This familiar Crimson Flame Palace belonged to the Nangong family. It was built with the blood and sweat of the Nangong family's ancestors. As the descendants of the Nangong family, they hadn't been here for a whole year. Just feeling the familiar aura of the Crimson Flame Palace was enough to make Nangong Lie feel relaxed and happy.
Although it was a pity that Nangong Yan decisively led the Nangong family to abandon the Crimson Flame Palace, it wasn't a wrong decision. After all, the Nangong family didn't expect the Sikong family to launch an attack without warning. If they defended the Crimson Flame Palace, it would bring a lot of trouble to the Sikong family. However, once the Sikong family's army arrived, the Nangong family would have to face annihilation.
Although they had lost the Crimson Flame Palace, at least the Nangong family's strength was preserved. They still had a chance to make a comeback.
In the past year, the Nangong family had been fighting hard and harassing the Octagonal Holy Temple. However, in the end, they hadn't caused any serious damage to the Octagonal Holy Temple and the Sikong family. On the contrary, the Nangong family had been living a difficult life. They didn't dare to show their face in public and they didn't have a stable base. As a result, their cultivation resources were scarce and they even lost a part of the Nangong family's inheritance.
Although Nangong Lie had stood his ground and decided to leave the Octagonal Holy Temple and join the Jiuehua Alliance, he didn't want to leave with his tail between his legs. Every member of the Nangong family had a burning rage in their hearts.
Now, Lu Xuan and Yi Yong had brought so many of them to the Crimson Flame Palace. This was undoubtedly a chance for the Nangong family to release their anger. Before they left the land where the Nangong family had been rooted for countless years, they had to show their strength to the Octagonal Holy Temple and the Sikong family that the Nangong family was still alive!
"The most important thing right now is to get the inheritance of the Nangong family. Once we get the inheritance, we can attack or retreat at any time." Lu Xuan was worried that Nangong Lie would be blinded by hatred, so he took the initiative to remind him.
Nangong Lie smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I know how to prioritize things. There's no time to lose, let's go to Nangong now."
Lu Xuan nodded. Just as everyone was about to move, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the Eastern Palace, "Zhong Yong, bring your nephew out!"
Nangong Lie was shocked. He had already recognized the person's voice. He shouted in a low voice, "Fang Yuanbai!"
Lu Xuan's expression also changed slightly. Why was Fang Yuanbai here again? Furthermore, from his tone, he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Could it be that they had exposed themselves?
"Brother Lu, what happened?" Nangong Lie asked.
Lu Xuan shook his head. "I don't know. Fang Yuanbai tried to interrogate us previously, but we managed to get away with it. How did he return so quickly?"
"Fang Yuanbai is a very cautious person. I'm afraid he has already seen through your disguise." Nangong Lie said in a low voice. After a pause, he continued, "Since we are already here, there's no need to trouble Brother Lu to take the risk. Just leave it to us. Although we didn't achieve our perfect plan, to be able to reach this step safely is already beyond my expectations. Everyone from the Nangong clan, listen up!"
Nangong Lie's last sentence was directed at the members of the Nangong clan. The twenty-five people he brought were undoubtedly all Virtualized Realm experts. More than half of them had reached the Middle Virtualized Realm, and five of them had reached the Late Virtualized Realm. Furthermore, there were other experts of the Nangong clan outside the city to attract their attention. For this battle, it could be said that the Nangong clan had mobilized almost all of their forces. If it weren't for the Nangong clan's Peak Virtualized Realm experts dying during the fiercest battle, this battle would have been a sure win.
The members of the Nangong clan immediately stood up straight, took out their weapons, and looked at Nangong Lie with burning eyes. As long as Nangong Lie gave the order, they would completely vent the anger that had accumulated in their hearts for the past year.
"Wait!" Lu Xuan suddenly stopped Nangong Lie. Nangong Lie looked at Lu Xuan in confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Xuan took a step forward and said, "Even if Fang Yuanbai found some clues, he definitely can't be sure that we are spies. Otherwise, he wouldn't be shouting outside the door right now. Instead, he would have rushed in with all the experts of the Fang clan to capture us."
Nangong Lie thought for a moment and felt that what Lu Xuan said made sense. Thus, he continued to listen to Lu Xuan's thoughts.
"Fang Yuanbai is after all a Peak Virtualized Realm expert. Brother Nangong, although you are strong, I'm afraid it's not difficult to resist him. Now that we are in the dark and Fang Yuanbai is out in the open, we should make good use of this advantage."
"What should we do? Brother Lu, feel free to tell us." Nangong Lie decided to listen to Lu Xuan's advice.
…
The tightly shut door of the East Palace was pushed open by Yi Yong. Lu Xuan followed closely behind and saw Lu Xuan standing alone outside the door, looking at Lu Xuan with a hint of suspicion.
The reason why Fang Yuanbai came back was because he felt that something was wrong. Lu Xuan gave him a strange feeling. On the way back, he thought about it and suddenly remembered that when he tested Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan seemed to be very afraid and fearful. This was nothing. Facing an existence of his level, Lu Xuan should indeed be fearful and fearful.
But what made Fang Yuanbai suspicious was that when he pointed out that Lu Xuan didn't have any presence of a fire attribute technique and asked for an explanation from Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan appeared to be very calm and indifferent. It was this contrast that made Fang Yuanbai feel that something was wrong. But he didn't realize it at the time. Now that he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong and immediately turned back.
However, Fang Yuanbai didn't think that Lu Xuan had any ill intentions just because of this little suspicion. Therefore, he turned back to take a look alone. It has to be said that Lu Xuan's strength had given him quite a bit of confusion. After all, Lu Xuan and Yi Yong's strength was obvious. He didn't think that a sixth level Great Void Realm Yi Yong and a seventh level Origin Realm Lu Xuan would be able to cause any trouble for him.
"Senior Yuanbai, why did you come back? I wonder if you have any advice for me? "Yi Yong smiled apologetically as he walked forward.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuanbai didn't even bother with Yi Yong. He pushed him aside and walked towards Lu Xuan. He pointed at Lu Xuan and said, "You are a little strange. I don't think you are a member of the Zhong Clan!"
This time, Lu Xuan didn't deny it. Instead, he revealed a smile and bowed towards Fang Yuanbai, "Senior Yuanbai's eyes are indeed sharp. This junior's little trick can't be hidden from your eyes. To be honest, this junior is indeed not a member of the Zhong Clan."
Yi Yong's expression turned a little ugly. Fang Yuanbai noticed this scene and let out a cold smile. As expected. Trying to play such tricks in front of me? You are still too inexperienced! Fang Yuanbai continued to look at Lu Xuan and waited for Lu Xuan's explanation. Since Lu Xuan dared to admit it publicly, there must be more to it.
As expected, Lu Xuan said, "It is true that this junior is about to breakthrough, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity to do so. I heard that the Red Flame Palace has a strong power of fire. Therefore, I looked for Senior Zhong and paid a price for Senior Zhong to bring this junior here to experience it. I hope Senior Yuanbai can forgive me if I have hidden anything."
Fang Yuanbai smiled coldly. He looked at Yi Yong and said, "Elder Zhong, the Fang Family has treated you well, right? How dare you bring an outsider into such an important place like the Red Flame Palace. I will make you pay for this!"
After saying this, he stared at Lu Xuan and said, "Do you know what kind of place the Red Flame Palace is? If you dare to sneak in, I will deal with you like a spy!"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Yuanbai, please don't be impatient. This junior only wants to use the Red Flame Palace's power of fire to cultivate. In reality, there is no loss for the Fang Clan or Senior Yuanbai. Moreover … Senior Yuanbai has already noticed that the power of fire in my body is purer than that of an ordinary person. To be honest, I have a treasure that can purify the power of fire, which is why I can reach such a level. I am willing to lend this treasure to Senior Yuanbai for a while. What do you think?"
As expected, Fang Yuanbai revealed a trace of a smile. The reason why he didn't directly make a move on Lu Xuan was because he wanted to obtain the method to increase the purity of the power of fire from Lu Xuan. Now that Lu Xuan had obediently offered it to him, as for lending it to him for a period of time, hehe. Once it was in his hands, he would never give Lu Xuan the chance to do so. It was the biggest joke in the world!
At this moment, Lu Xuan took out an item from his storage ring and walked towards Fang Yuanbai. Fang Yuanbai squinted his eyes and looked at it. It seemed to be a small cauldron. He didn't move and placed his hands behind his back, waiting for Lu Xuan to personally deliver the treasure.
"Keke, Senior Yuanbai, this item requires a special method to use. This junior shall demonstrate it to you first." Lu Xuan smiled as he walked in front of Fang Yuanbai and lifted the small cauldron with a single hand. Fang Yuanbai didn't suspect anything. A mere seventh level Origin Realm brat, so what if he was given a heaven-tier artifact?
Under Fang Yuanbai's watchful eyes, Lu Xuan activated the Tai Yi Cauldron's technique. A dazzling white light was released from the small cauldron. The light was extremely beautiful and blinding. Fang Yuanbai subconsciously raised his hand to cover the light and slightly tilted his head.
Right at this moment! Fang Yuanbai suddenly felt countless valiant qi presences surrounding him! All of them were the qi presences of a Great Void Realm expert!
"Die, Fang Yuanbai! Hahaha! "A familiar voice echoed in Fang Yuanbai's ears while laughing.
"Nangong Lie!" Fang Yuanbai gritted his teeth and shouted. At this point, Fang Yuanbai already understood everything.
But he didn't have much time to think because dozens of attacks were flying towards him at the same time. Even though there wasn't enough time and Nangong Lie and the others were hurriedly making their moves, but with 25 Great Void Realm experts attacking at the same time, even if Fang Yuanbai was a peak stage Great Void Realm expert, he couldn't afford to be careless.
