After coming to an agreement with Changqing Branch, and seeing that both sides had initially reached a consensus for a peaceful transition, Lu Yuan began the preliminary preparations for taking over Youxin Country.
Recruiting disciples and strengthening the Immortal Sect was only the first step.
After selecting a group of disciples, he had his avatar, Che Shidao, personally take action and head to Stone Man Mountain to prepare for the cleansing of demons there.
Since Taiping Dao had taken City of Yunlan, all the demons and ghosts in Youxin Country saw the tides turning against them and retreated to Stone Man Mountain, watching the situation unfold from this border.
By that time, Lu Yuan already regarded Youxin Country as his own territory to claim and had preliminarily opened up relations with Qing Immortal Sect.
He certainly had no more reservations by this point and would not tolerate these demons wreaking havoc on his own land.
