Assembly Order, Seize the Opportunity, Lu Chaochao

Lu Tianhu!

Shen Fan, who was far away in the northern part of Nantian City, saw this scene through his Swift Wind Bird and immediately opened his eyes in anger.

"Cancel the engagement? How dare the Lu family suggest canceling the engagement with me?"

"Back then, to marry Lu Qingzhu to me, they almost knelt before us. Now they dare to suggest canceling the engagement?"

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately got up, preparing to go home.

But at this moment, an urgent whistle sounded, followed by a flurry of footsteps from outside.

Assembly order!

Upon seeing this, Shen Fan immediately opened the door and walked out.

All Disciples assembled and quietly left Nantian City under the cover of night.

The flying boat arrived in the blink of an eye at a mountain hollow three hundred miles outside Nantian City.

Buildings stood in clusters within the mountain hollow, hidden by natural barriers, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this moment, figures moved about in the mountain hollow, fires blazed, and the sounds of fighting echoed throughout the valley.

"Our reinforcements are here!"

Seeing the flying boat approaching rapidly, the Cultivators below immediately cheered excitedly.

Cultivators dressed in white and red robes immediately counterattacked as if injected with a stimulant.

But as the flying boat came into view, one of them noticed something amiss.

"It's not our Ice Fire Sect's reinforcements, it's the Tianxuan Sect!"

"Why is the Tianxuan Sect here? This is our Ice Fire Sect's territory!"

"They're here to steal the ice fire marrow!"

"Quick! Quick! Fire another cloud-piercing arrow, these shameless guys!"

...

...

The flying boat approached rapidly, and before it even landed, hundreds of Disciples leaped off.

The Tianxuan Sect's leading Elder sneered, casually cut down a Blood Refinement Sect Disciple with a sword, and shouted, "Slaying evil demons is the duty of us Cultivators. Ice Fire Sect Disciples, rest assured, with us here, you are safe!"

"Get lost! Our people will be here soon, you won't get our ice fire marrow!"

The Ice Fire Sect immediately sent a team of people to stop the Tianxuan Sect.

But they were only a dozen or so people; how could they stop hundreds?

The Tianxuan Sect Disciples swarmed forward, and the Blood Refinement Sect Disciples, who had previously held an advantage, immediately scattered in disarray.

"Our Tianxuan Sect has issued a Demon Extermination Order to the three Sects. Slaying evil demons is everyone's responsibility; there is no distinction of territory. You all stay here; we will handle things here!"

With a command from the leading Elder, the Tianxuan Sect Disciples directly surrounded these people.

The Ice Fire Sect Disciples were furious but helpless.

The leading Elder entered the cave.

A blend of ice and fire Qi immediately assailed him.

Looking closely, he saw Mortal servants, stripped to the waist, huddled in corners, digging for ice fire marrow for the Blood Refinement Sect Disciples here.

"Haha... We're rich! We're rich!"

Seeing so much ice fire marrow, the leading Elder's eyes gleamed with golden light. When no one was paying attention, he casually put two baskets into his qiankun bag.

Then, he immediately ordered people to control the entire cave and begin counting the excavated ice fire marrow.

This ice fire marrow resembled ice crystals, containing a cluster of burning liquid flames, imbued with powerful ice and fire energy.

It was excellent for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Cultivation Materials.

"Who dares to seize my Ice Fire Sect's Opportunity!"

Just then, a sharp shout came from outside the cave.

Several flying boats approached rapidly, with the Ice Fire Sect's banner fluttering in the wind above.

The Ice Fire Sect Disciples trapped there were overjoyed and waved repeatedly at the people on the flying boats.

"Elder, we're here! They are from the Tianxuan Sect, and they're here to steal our ice fire marrow!"

The flying boats hovered, and Ice Fire Sect Disciples leaped down, forming a encirclement around the Tianxuan Sect's people.

"Who is leading them? Step out now!"

An Ice Fire Sect Elder shouted sternly.

From the crowd, the Tianxuan Sect's leading Elder walked out.

"Oh! Isn't that the old fool?"

The Tianxuan Sect Elder sneered.

"So it's you, Jia Chengxin!"

Immortal Chifeng, an Ice Fire Sect Elder, glared at the other party, "Don't you know this is our Ice Fire Sect's territory?"

"Oh, I know. I was just passing by with my people and saw your people being besieged, so I helped out. You don't need to be grateful; we'll just take some ice fire marrow and leave!"

Jia Chengxin said shamelessly.

"The four Sects have mutual territorial markers, and no one is allowed to trespass and seize resources. You are clearly overstepping. Now, take your people and leave immediately, and I can let bygones be bygones!"

Immortal Chifeng warned coldly.

"Hey? I saved so many of your Disciples, and not only are you not grateful, but you're also chasing us away? Is this how you treat guests?"

Jia Chengxin's expression immediately darkened.

"Besides, our Tianxuan Sect has already issued a Demon Extermination Order to the three Sects. Now, slaying evil demons is everyone's responsibility; there is no distinction of territory. What can you do to me?"

"Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

Immortal Chifeng was clearly on the verge of rage. Seeing that the other party would not listen to persuasion, he waved his hand and roared.

"The Tianxuan Sect has crossed the line to seize resources! Ice Fire Sect Disciples, heed my command, kill them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ice Fire Sect Disciples immediately swarmed forward.

"You really dare to start a war?!"

Jia Chengxin immediately panicked.

He had assumed the Ice Fire Sect wouldn't act, and in the end, they would just share some ice fire marrow and leave, everything would be fine.

He never expected this guy to act out of character and directly start a fight.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The captured Blood Refinement Sect Disciples took advantage of the chaos to escape.

But they were discovered by people from both the Ice Fire Sect and the Tianxuan Sect, who immediately moved to stop them.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

You hit me, I hit him, he hits you.

And at this moment.

In the crowd, as if by fate, four eyes crossed the human tide and met.

Crossing the human tide, the two collided.

They exchanged blows, fighting lively.

"How have you been lately?"

Shen Fan waved the long sword in his hand, asking leisurely, almost holding a handful of melon seeds.

Lu Zhaozhao fought while retreating, moving away from the center of the battle and casually said, "Oh, just the same old!"

Their eyes met, and the two immediately smiled knowingly.

"Sigh!"

Lu Zhaozhao sighed, looking at those people with a compassionate expression, "Tell me, how much offerings do you get a month? Why risk your lives?"

"If you ask me, our Elder Akamine giving you some ice fire marrow is enough. If he monopolizes it, he won't get much anyway; in the end, it will still be handed over to the Sect, won't it?"

Shen Fan gave a continuous thumbs-up: "No wonder you're so clear-headed! When it comes to dealing with people, I still have to look to you!"

"That's right!" Lu Zhaozhao said proudly.

"Oh, right, I left in a hurry last time, and you still haven't told me the locations of your Ice Fire Sect's brothels in various places!"

"Get lost, you really want to go!"

"A man's gotta be curious! I'm mainly interested in studying the Dao of Dual Cultivation!"

Shen Fan suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, wasn't your Ice Fire Sect originally the Joyful Union Sect? Do you have a Dao Companion? Also, after you go to sleep in your Ice Fire Sect at night, is it a constant ebb and flow? Doesn't it bother you to hear it?"
