After Zhou Qing left, Lu Yuan dealt with some military affairs. When he finished, he resumed his cultivation.

These days, with his constant conversion, more than half of the third meridian’s Inner Strength had been transformed into Red Sun Inner Strength.

Based on his current progress, it would only take another day or two to complete the conversion of the last meridian.

At such a crucial moment, Lu Yuan naturally put external distractions aside and focused on his cultivation.

Time flew by.

Two days later, Lu Yuan officially completed the conversion of all his Inner Strength, and all his power had changed into Chi Yang Divine Skill.

Finally, he could start cultivating this top-notch technique.

Moreover, he had received this method more than half a year ago.

During the past half-year, besides constantly working on converting his cultivation, Lu Yuan had also done extensive research on the Chi Yang Divine Skill. Given his experience and realm, it was only natural that he could comprehend the technique without much difficulty.

There would be no problems cultivating the remaining three meridians.

In this case, there was no time to lose.

He directly began taking the Pure Water Profound Pill and started breaking through to the next meridian.

With the help of this pill, he believed that it would take less than half a month for him to break through to the peak of the top-tier level.

By then, Lu Yuan would be invincible, below the Inborn World.

While he was busy cultivating the technique, the besieged Luyang Fu City was still experiencing people escaping.

However, as most of the people who could escape had already done so, the number of runners gradually decreased.

From the peak of five or six hundred people in a single night, it slowly dropped to one or two hundred people and eventually only a few dozen.

The number of defenders in the city also decreased further, from just over four thousand to barely three thousand. And most of the remaining three thousand were city residents with low combat power and morale.

According to disciples like Zhou Qing’s calculations, all that was needed was one attack on Luyang City to capture it completely.

But Lu Yuan rejected this proposal.

The reason was simple: capturing Luyang City might not be difficult, but ensuring that all high-ranking members of the Seven Star Sect—including Sect Leader Qiao Xiuyuan—couldn’t escape during the city’s capture would be very difficult.

After all, they were a group of first and second-tier Martial Arts Experts.

They might not be able to face the army head-on, but if they chose to avoid confrontation and hide, there would be no problem.

Most Martial Arts Experts were agile, and many possessed impressive lightness skills. Catching such people, with an army that was heavily reliant on formation strength, would be very difficult.

So, despite Lu Yuan’s current encirclement of Luyang City, the probability of capturing Qiao Xiuyuan and the others was still not very high, and it was more likely that they wouldn’t be caught at all.

He couldn’t accept this outcome.

Lu Yuan was still hoping to capture Qiao Xiuyuan and other high-ranking members, then force them to reveal the locations of the other two treasures of the Seven Star Sect as well as the whereabouts of the Pure Water Xuan Niu.

Feng Zhijie, who had previously surrendered, was only in charge of one branch of the Seven Star Sect. He only knew about the location of the treasure in this branch, not the treasure locations of the other two branches.

Those guaranteed at least twenty Pure Water Profound Pills and one Pure Water Xuan Niu!

If Lu Yuan could obtain these treasures, he could directly cultivate Zhou Qing into a top-tier expert like himself.

Even his disciples could be cultivated into three or five second-tier experts.

With such great benefits within reach, Lu Yuan couldn’t afford to let Qiao Xiuyuan and the others escape, otherwise it would be as if the cooked duck had flown away.

So, he naturally disagreed with the proposal to attack the city now.

However, this didn’t mean that he wanted to keep waiting in this stalemate.

Lu Yuan planned to wait until he had broken through to the peak of the top-tier level and reached the peak of his current potential before attacking the city.

The power gap between the same top-tier was significant.

Take Fang Tianying, for example. Even when facing the Iron Sword Sect’s MO Baichuan and the chief of the Luling Fu City, who were both top-tier experts, he was still able to seriously injure MO Baichuan and leave gracefully.

MO Baichuan, on the other hand, barely managed to hold on for two years before dying in bed due to illness.

This showed that the power gap between the same top-tier level could be immense.

How strong was Fang Tianying?

Lu Yuan hadn’t met him, so he couldn’t confirm it.

However, he was sure that the Eagle King’s strength was at most at the level of cultivating three or four meridians, and definitely not the peak of cultivating five or six meridians.

Because reaching the peak of the top-tier, already positioned at the pinnacle below the Inborn World in the martial arts world, such a figure couldn’t be manipulated as a chess piece by an Inborn Grandmaster.

So Fang Tianying, who had started the Black Wind Gang rebellion as the martial arts pawn of South Sea Prefecture, could not have been at the peak of the top-tier level.

What about Qiao Xiuyuan’s strength?

According to previous rumors in the Jianghu, he had the strength of cultivating only two bizarre meridians, which placed him in the early stage of the top-tier level.

But now that the rebellion had started, it couldn’t be ruled out that Qiao Xiuyuan would use the treasure of his sect to ingest the Pure Water Profound Pill and forcefully increase his own strength.

However, the limits of the Seven Star Sect’s cultivation techniques were clear, with the highest reaching only the third bizarre meridian.

Even if Qiao Xiuyuan reached the peak level, his power would still be far inferior to that of Lu Yuan, who had successfully cultivated six bizarre meridians.

Saying that Lu Yuan could defeat him with both hands was a bit of an exaggeration.

But using one hand to take him down? Lu Yuan thought it wouldn’t be a big problem.

Because he felt that, with his current strength of cultivating three bizarre meridians, he could easily defeat his past self, who had just cultivated one meridian and had just entered the Innate World.

The further one went in cultivation, the greater the difference.

The difference between cultivating six bizarre meridians and three should be greater than between three and one.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan was naturally in no rush.

At most, it would only take half a month.

Instead of being anxious and attacking the city now, risking the duck flying away, why not wait until everything is fully prepared, then use absolute power to overwhelm them and personally capture these traitors?

Wouldn’t that be even more beautiful?

As long as there were visible and tangible benefits, Lu Yuan’s patience was plentiful.

He didn’t mind waiting a little while before enjoying the feast. The fish trapped in the Seven Star Sect’s net wouldn’t be able to escape..
