"You all go down first and set up the defensive formation of our Taisha City. After I finish my seclusion, I will go and help you repel those ungrateful Netherworld people."
"Yes, Commander Lu."
Lin Yue, accompanied by several guards from Taisha City, respectfully withdrew.
Because a Core Formation cultivator like Lu Xuan has a much higher status than her, and other Core Formation cultivators usually don't take Foundation Establishment cultivators seriously.
Lu Xuan's respect made Lin Yue, who was usually cold-hearted, feel a warmth she had never felt before.
"Lord Lu is a good man."
At this moment, Lu Xuan, who was in seclusion, heard Lin Yue's mutterings outside.
He simply gave a casual, faint laugh.
As for his name, Lu Xuan no longer intended to impersonate the Second Prince.
Anyway, the Yan Emperor outside already knows his true identity.
Besides, continuing to impersonate the Second Prince Huangfu Zhan would be pointless.
As for Xu Lingfei...
Lu Xuan will also tell him his true identity. He wants to see if the other party will distance himself from him because he is not the real Second Prince.
If that's the case.
Lu Xuan might just resolve the hidden danger.
After all, he was single-mindedly focused on the path to immortality and would absolutely not allow anyone to hinder his cultivation journey, not even his partner, let alone someone he had only met by chance.
After Lin Yue obeyed and went to carry out the task, Lu Xuan spent three hours completely refining those Netherworld Crystal Cores.
"These are just a few Netherworld Clan crystal cores from the Foundation Establishment stage, and they've already purified my body by one percent. If they were Netherworld Clan crystal cores from the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages, wouldn't they completely purify my body? Once all the impurities in my body are removed, my chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will definitely increase by at least 30%!"
Lu Xuan's muttering to himself also greatly boosted his confidence.
After all, a cultivator at the peak of the late Core Formation stage wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It's not a simple matter. Generally, it's considered good if one out of a hundred Core Formation stage cultivators becomes a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
It seems that the opportunities in this small Netherworld might be the key to his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
When he becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can leave the Lesser Netherworld and return to the Great Yan Immortal Cultivation World, and he won't have to be afraid of the Yan Emperor anymore.
Unless the opponent has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Xuan is confident that he can defeat a mid-Nascent Soul stage being.
It was evening.
Lin Yue and Heishan, along with several other Foundation Establishment commanders, came to Lu Xuan in a panic, anxiously saying:
“Commander Lu, it seems the Netherworld Clan is serious this time. Just now, several Netherworld Clan members at the late Foundation Establishment stage almost broke through our outer castle. If it weren’t for our Foundation Establishment commanders squandering some Sun Stones, we would have barely managed to repel those Netherworld Clan members.”
Lin Yue, who was standing next to him, added:
"However, a Netherworld Clan member at the Core Formation stage has already appeared outside..."
A Netherworld Clan member at the Core Formation stage? Good thing they've come.
Lu Xuan laughed heartily, not taking this Core Formation stage Netherworld Clan member seriously at all. Even if a Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage Netherworld Clan member came, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.
"Lin Yue, Hei Shan, lead the way and let me see what these Netherworld Clan members are up to."
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he led the Foundation Establishment commanders to the top of the tall city wall of the outer castle of Taisha City.
"Look, aren't those a few human cultivators?"
Lin Yue, standing to the side, pointed to a dark path in the wilderness ahead.
Lu Xuan had already discovered this.
It turned out to be Xu Lingfei and the others whom they had parted ways with before.
They seemed to be in big trouble; they appeared to be fleeing for their lives in a panic, with several Netherworld Clan members with late-stage Core Formation auras behind them.
At this moment, Lu Xuan also noticed that the Netherworld Clan members in the Core Formation stage appeared even taller and fiercer, and they also wore black armor.
"I'll go check on it. You all guard the castle well."
Lu Xuan flew directly out of the protective formation of Tai Sha City.
He wanted to take the initiative and deal with the Netherworld Clan members in the late Core Formation stage first.
We obtained the crystal core.
Otherwise, it would be bad if those few pseudo-Nascent Soul stage experts in Taisha City discovered it, and they would take away these crystal cores.
Of course, most importantly, Lu Xuan did not want to reveal his cultivation level now.
"Fellow Daoist, save us!" Xu Lingfei and the others who were fleeing were overjoyed to see Lu Xuan.
Since Lu Xuan has now regained his true appearance, Xu Lingfei and the other cultivators from the Great Yan cultivation world did not recognize him.
"Fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Lingfei noticed that Lu Xuan's aura was somewhat familiar, and asked with a puzzled look:
"Fellow Daoist, we seem to have met somewhere before. I feel that your aura is very similar to that of a friend of mine!"
"Is that so?" Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you really not recognize me?"
"You are, the Second Prince, Huangfu Zhan..."
When Lu Xuan saw that Xu Lingfei had finally recognized him, he recounted how Xu Lingfei had impersonated Huangfu Zhan.
After hearing the truth.
Xu Lingfei, on the contrary, was very frank and even more polite to Lu Xuan.
As for the other Core Formation cultivators from the Great Yan Dynasty, they only wanted to escape and enter Tai Sha City.
Xu Lingfei explained their recent situation to Lu Xuan:
"Here's what happened. Yesterday, a few of us were out searching for treasures when these powerful black monsters suddenly appeared. They've been chasing us relentlessly, and several of our Core Formation stage cultivators have already died at their hands."
“They are from the Netherworld Clan, didn’t you know that?” Lu Xuan said.
The Netherworld Clan? Xu Lingfei shook his head in horror.
