Chapter 69: Abduct Qin Yan

In the coming days, Lu Chen will spend more of his time practicing the Black Prison Sword Canon.

As time passed, the sword marks on the wall gradually increased.

At one moment, he felt a hint of enlightenment arise in his heart.

This time, while circulating the Black Prison Sword Canon, he felt the consumption speed of the spirit-killing qi in his body increase greatly.

But at the same time, the black qi and dense sword qi produced by the canon became stronger.

"Clang!"

This sword slash cut out, and the depth of the sword mark increased by three times compared to before.

"Whoosh~"

Such high-intensity training made her body feel somewhat fatigued.

Up to now, he still felt for the first time that the spirit-killing qi within his body was on the verge of exhaustion.

However, he did not stop his action, but returned to his original position and continued practicing.

He clearly understood that each swing of his sword now would bring him one step closer to a breakthrough.

If nothing unexpected happens, today will be the day he breaks through the Black Prison Sword Canon to perfection.

"Soon."

He dragged his somewhat heavy body, absorbing as much killing qi from the room as possible and condensing it onto his weapon.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the wall violently trembled, and an extremely deep crack rapidly spread.

"Is this the power of having perfected one's training?"

Just as Lu Chen lowered his hand, another "boom" sounded; the already riddled wall could not withstand this sword qi and shattered into pieces.

Looking at another room's clueless unnamed disciple, Lu Chen gave a hehe laugh.

Unexpectedly, the Black Prison Sword Canon at the perfection stage actually possessed such power.

The joy in his eyes could not be completely concealed.

The disciple in that room seemed to know him; originally, when disturbed by the movement, the other party would have cursed, but upon noticing Lu Chen's figure, they swallowed those words back.

"After perfecting the Black Prison Sword Canon, all that remains is the Soul-Nurturing Pill."

"Su Qian has also broken through; it seems time to leave the sect for a trip."

He quickly left the Hall of Killing Qi and flew swiftly toward his dwelling.

Midway through his flight, his gaze was suddenly drawn to Elder Peak, where Qin Yan resided.

"The day before yesterday she said she wanted to break through; I don't know if she succeeded smoothly now."

He originally intended to return to his dwelling, but the next moment he suddenly changed direction and flew toward Qin Yan's residence.

Arriving before the house, he slightly raised his head; the sky above seemed to have just dispersed some anomaly.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard movement from inside.

The next second, the door opened, and Qin Yan's figure appeared before him.

"Lu Chen, what are you doing here?"

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised by his appearance, after all she had just broken through and hadn't yet had a chance to tell anyone.

"Just a coincidence." Lu Chen gave a light smile, his gaze scanning her up and down.

"Looking at the change in your aura, did you smoothly break through to Cave Heaven?"

"Yes, I broke through. Just now I also happened to erase the memories related to the Heavenly Demon Dissolution Great Law."

Qin Yan concealed nothing.

Ever since she, like Su Qian, came to regard Lu Chen as a reincarnation of some demonic path great power, she has let down her guard against him.

After all, if he truly were a demonic path great power, possessing such extraordinary means, wiping them out would be easy.

"Oh? In other words, you can now leave the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

With Su Qian, a late-stage Condensing Spirit cultivator, as a bodyguard, he already felt secure; if Qin Yan could also join, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways?

Although this idea was wonderful, he immediately dismissed it.

Given his experience, if they acted so recklessly, they would likely attract some old monsters.

"Having left the Heavenly Demon Sect, where do you plan to go?"

Lu Chen asked her.

The reason he asked this was because he had his own selfish motives.

If he could deceive her into coming along, the journey through orthodox faction territory would be a bit safer.

"I don't know." Qin Yan shook her head.

During this period she only thought about how to leave the Heavenly Demon Sect, but had no idea whatsoever about what to do afterward.

"Perhaps, go back to see Qin Lin, then find a place to seclude oneself, and thereafter live as a loose cultivator."

Having the Heavenly Demon Sect as a precedent, Qin Yan has already seen through the deceit and intrigue of the demonic path.

Although she is a demonic cultivator, she has always been interested only in beast taming.

For decades, ninety percent of her time has been spent dealing with beast taming.

Even, she has hardly killed any people.

"What future does being a loose cultivator have?"

Lu Chen looked at Qin Yan, a flash of cunning passing through his eyes.

"Your talent is not ordinary; being a loose cultivator would truly be a waste."

"Moreover, the conflict between the orthodox and demonic paths is intensifying; even if you wanted to hide, you probably couldn't escape."

Qin Yan, upon hearing this, they slightly furrowed their brows.

She, as the lowest elder of the Heaven Demon Sect, indeed understands the orthodox-demonic conflict very well.

It is said that many years ago, the two sides of orthodox and demonic in the Four Continents of Mo Yu were not as clearly divided as they are now.

It is precisely because of a war several thousand years ago that we now see demonic cultivators spread across Zhenzhou and immortal cultivators across Tianzhou.

Such a stalemate has lasted many years, but demonic cultivators have always been greedy; these years they have been secretly infiltrating both areas of Tianzhou.

If nothing unexpected happens, within a century the orthodox and demonic sides will surely have a battle.

"Then, where do you think I should go?" Qin Yan's face showed some confusion.

Seeing her take the bait, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he hurried to strike while the iron was hot.

"Follow me; I plan to go to Tianzhou."

"Although the killing qi there is relatively scarce, its advantage lies in stability."

"Moreover, I know someone there."

What Lu Chen spoke of is that mysterious cultivator who once framed Mo Xuan.

Since that time when Mo Xuan attempted to seize his body, his mind has gradually accumulated many memories of Mo Xuan.

One of them is the memory of that mysterious cultivator.

As time passes, these days memories of her have also surfaced in Lu Chen's mind.

This person is none other than Mo Xuan's dao partner; their specific name remains unknown.

Although her cultivation is only at the Condensing Spirit Stage, because of her status she holds an extremely high position at Xing Ya.

After Mo Xuan's mishap, she was not suspected; instead, she continued on to become a sect elder at Xing Ya.

Lu Chen intends, in return for all that Mo Xuan has given him, to go and help him avenge this.

Of course, exactly how to take revenge still needs careful planning.

"If we take care of that person, we will definitely be able to establish a firm foothold in the orthodox faction."

"Moreover, you need not worry about being recognized."

Saying this, Lu Chen's mind stirred, and he formed a hand seal.

Immediately, a strong surge of righteous qi burst forth from within him.

During this period of cultivation, he has certainly accumulated a lot of this righteous qi.

"With this righteous qi on his person, no one will suspect him."

"How do you still have this on you? This isn't something that should appear on an orthodox cultivator." Qin Yan felt somewhat incredulous.

"How could a cultivator practice demonic arts on one hand and yet possess such strong righteous qi on the other?"

At this moment, she again doubted Lu Chen's identity.

But despite her doubts, after thinking it over repeatedly, she still agreed.

"Alright, I'll go with you."
