Shenhua Mountain, Demon Sect, and the Seven Ancestors Hall.

Yuan Lu sat cross-legged on a jade platform, and there were six other jade platforms beside him.

This is where the seven elders of the Demon Sect hold meetings. The 'seven ancestors' refer to the seven great elders.

If one day there is another demon cultivator in the true immortal realm, then he will be the 'Eighth Ancestor', and the jade platforms will become eight.

Fang Jianzheng stood beside Yuan Lu in the appearance of Lu Hua, quietly watching the elders who kept entering the hall.

When the first elder arrived and entered the hall, Yuan Lu flew up from the jade platform and landed on the ground.

"Elder Qu." Yuan Lu bowed to the old man in gray robe and white hair who was the first to enter the Seventh Ancestor Hall.

This person was the great elder surnamed Qu, Qu Gongzhao. He also bowed to Yuan Lu and asked, "I wonder if Elder Yuan has summoned us so urgently. Is there something important?"

Yuan Lu said, "Yes, my people have discovered a major incident involving evil spirits in the south, so I have specially summoned all of you fellow Taoists to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing this, Qu Gongzhao's expression grew serious and he nodded, saying, "The other fellow Taoists are already on their way."

After saying that, he flew up and landed on the jade platform that belonged to him.

After sitting down, Qu Gongzhao immediately saw Fang Jian, but he had never seen Lu Hua before, so he didn't care and just thought he was a disciple of Yuan Lu's clan.

After Qu Gongzhao, four more elders entered the hall one after another. They were Ye Jing, the chief elder of the Ye family; Xu Qin, the chief elder of the Xu family; She Xian, the chief elder of the She family; and Yu Taihang, the chief elder of the Yu family.

At this time, Qu Gongzhao also flew down from the Jade Platform and greeted everyone together with Yuan Lu.

At this moment, there are six great elders gathered, and only the last one, that is, the great elder Lu Xuan, whose surname is Lu, has not arrived.

The six great elders did not take their seats at this moment, but stood there waiting for Lu Xuan's arrival.

Lu Xuan did not keep everyone waiting for long and arrived in the hall after only a cup of tea.

The seven great elders gathered together, exchanged greetings, and then took seats on the jade platform. At this time, Fang Jian, the only one standing next to Yuan Lu, stood out because the other great elders did not bring anyone with them.

It was just that Fang Jian only had the aura of the Void Refinement Realm, so no one paid much attention to it. However, after sitting down, Lu Xuan found something wrong.

He took a closer look and suddenly realized that this person was Lu Hua, the eldest son of Lu Ying and his wife. As a member of his own clan, even though Lu Hua was not well-received, Lu Xuan had still met him once.

Before coming here, Lu Xuan had met Lu Ying, who had reported to him the news that Yuan Qing was sheltering Lu Hua.

He originally thought that this was Yuan Qing's own decision, but he didn't expect that Yuan Lu actually brought Lu Hua to the Seventh Ancestor Temple at this moment. It seems that this matter is not simple.

Lu Xuan thought again, the Lu family and the Yuan family were not at odds with each other, and the two families had extensive intermarriage. Yuan Lu brought Lu Hua here not to make things difficult for the Lu family.

But Lu Xuan couldn't figure out why Yuan Lu did this.

Of course he couldn't figure it out, because Yuan Lu brought 'Lu Hua' here to make things difficult for all of them.

So, after the elders took their seats, Yuan Lu said to the demon sect disciples standing on both sides of the hall, "You all go out and close the hall door."

Naturally, these disciples did not dare to disobey the order of a great elder, so they all accepted the order respectfully, then walked out of the hall and closed the door.

The other six elders were very confused and didn't understand what Yuan Lu was doing. Even if you didn't close the palace door, no one in the entire Demon Sect would dare to peek at the seven elders' meeting, right?

However, even though they were confused, the other six people did not say anything.

After the hall door closed, Great Elder Lu Xuan was the first to speak: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, what on earth happened in the south?"

Yu Taihang also asked, "The person you sent to deliver the message didn't explain it clearly at all. He only said that something big had happened in the south involving an evil monster. What exactly was it?"

"Yes, why are you calling us together in such a hurry? Is this matter very serious?" She Xi said.

Yuan Lu laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoists. There is something wrong, but it's not my fault."

'Buzz'

As soon as Yuan Lu finished speaking, the other six elders suddenly felt a buzzing sound above their heads. They looked up hurriedly, only to see lightning flashes winding down from the hall like dragons and snakes rising in the mist, and a light curtain formed by lightning flashes also fell down with a loud bang, directly covering the entire hall.

"What's this?"

“It’s like a magic!”

"It's thunder magic!"

"How could there be thunder magic in Hanxu Realm?!"

The six great elders jumped up in shock, looking at the winding and flickering lightning above their heads, their tone full of shock.

There is no such thing as "thunder" in the Hanxu Realm, but those who have cultivated to the level of True Immortal have some understanding of the Way of Heaven, so they also know that there is the existence of "thunder magic" under the Way of Heaven.

"Hahaha." Just when the six elders were astonished, Yuan Lu suddenly flew down from the jade platform and burst into laughter.

Only then did the six elders react and looked at Yuan Lu.

Ye Jing, the eldest elder surnamed Ye, pointed at Yuan Lu and said, "Yuan Lu, this must be your doing. What are you going to do?"

The great elder Xu Qin said, "Impossible. Yuan Lu is also a demon cultivator. He has never used thunder magic!"

When Xu Qin finished speaking, a young and tall figure slowly walked in front of Yuan Lu, then turned and looked at the six elders.

"Lu Hua!" Lu Xuan's eyes fixed, and he looked at Fang Jian and slowly called out a name.

Upon hearing this name, the other five elders paused at the same time, and then all looked at Fang Jian.

"He is Lu Hua?"

The name Lu Hua has been spread throughout the Demon Sect in the past two days, and the two great elders named Ye and Xu, who are at odds with the Lu family, are preparing to use this matter to attack Lu Xuan.

But unexpectedly, they actually met Lu Hua here? And he was brought here by Yuan Lu. Why? Aren't the Yuan clan friendly with the Lu clan? Could it be that Yuan Lu was also going to attack Lu Xuan?

Just as the six elders were guessing Yuan Lu's intentions and plotting against each other in their heads, a scene that shocked everyone occurred.

Yuan Lu, the Demon Sect's Grand Elder, suddenly knelt before Fang Jian and exclaimed, "Greetings, Lord God!"

"What? This..."

"Yuan Lu! You are the Great Elder of the Demon Sect, what are you doing!"

The elders present were furious and started to rebuke Yuan Lu.

But Lu Xuan, who had been observing Fang Jian, suddenly discovered that Fang Jian's aura had changed. It was not the aura of the Void Refinement Realm at all!

Lu Xuan's pupils shrank, and then he shouted in shock: "He is not Lu Hua! He is a True Immortal cultivator!"

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the entire hall became silent for a moment, but then became noisy in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the six elders including Lu Xuan didn't understand what was happening. They reacted immediately, and used Taoist magic to summon magic weapons, and rushed towards Fang Jian together.
