Chapter 84: Breaking Through from Within?

From that cultivator's mouth, Lu Chen learned the situation of several high-level figures of Star Cliff.

The most important of these was the situation of Third Elder Mu Hanyu.

"She mainly cultivates the Charm Technique, no wonder she could become Mo Xuan's dao companion."

"However, after Mo Xuan's death she actually got involved with another elder."

"Mo Tiancheng…… this person is actually Mo Xuan's younger clan brother?"

After killing those worthless people, Lu Chen put away the Chaos Heaven Banner and came to the well's edge.

He recalled the previous information and was considering the feasibility of the matter.

"This woman really has exhausted all means."

"However, why did she later take the initiative to clear Mo Xuan's name and help him wash away the charge of betrayal?"

"Could it be because she wants to nominate Mo Tiancheng as sect leader, so as to avoid being affected by Mo Xuan's identity, that she did this?"

Thinking about it, Lu Chen suddenly noticed an important point.

Then Mo Xuan's identity is not what he previously thought—a righteous sect traitor.

On the contrary, due to Mu Hanyu's various methods, he has now become a former sect leader of Star Cliff who died wrongfully under demonic cultivator influence.

"If that's the case, can I make use of this identity?"

Lu Chen stood at the well's mouth, closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the faint memories left by Mo Xuan.

Mu Hanyu's residence seems to have a restriction, but that restriction does not place any limits on Mo Xuan himself.

If he could make use of this, perhaps he could cleverly break into Star Cliff from within.

Just now, from those cultivators he learned that Mu Hanyu's cultivation has not yet reached the Cave Heaven realm; she is only at late Condensing Spirit.

Therefore, his Pulling Technique can be effective.

But having said that, wanting to enter Star Cliff is indeed very difficult.

Because Star Cliff's sect admission examination is extremely strict, trying to sneak through is utterly impossible.

Even if one possesses a Star Cliff disciple token, if the residual soul aura inside does not match, it will be instantly recognized.

Moreover, the Mo Xuan aura on his body might also be recognized.

"Does that mean he can't get in at all?"

Lu Chen very much wants to avenge Mo Xuan as soon as possible.

It's not that he wants to try Mu Hanyu's flavor; the main reason is that if he can handle Mu Hanyu, it would basically amount to indirectly controlling most of Star Cliff.

Just like with Su Qian earlier.

Thinking this, he glanced at Su Qian standing nearby.

During this time, Su Qian always wore cool clothing, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally teasing him.

Just a glance, and he withdrew his gaze and opened his eyes again.

Su Qian originally thought he had some feelings for her, and she even had some anticipation.

As a result, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Perhaps one could enter Star Cliff through the path of recruiting disciples?"

"The Empress over there should also have a technique for concealing one's aura, right? When the time comes I'll ask her for..."

For him, dealing with Mu Hanyu is nothing more than three steps.

One, enter Star Cliff; two, enter Mu Hanyu's bedroom; three, successfully apply the Pulling Technique on her.

Among these three, the hardest is actually the first step.

"It seems the path of recruiting disciples really works."

With his Mid Golden Core cultivation, he doesn't even need to fake his realm; he exactly meets Star Cliff's standard for recruiting disciples.

"Killing them too early; I should ask when Star Cliff's next disciple recruitment is......"

Lu Chen glanced at the well's mouth.

After clearing his thoughts, he quickly ordered Su Qian to go to the outskirts of Star Cliff to inquire about news of disciple recruitment.

During this time, he accompanied Gu Xiangxiang in staying a while at Lingxi Town.

Anyway, with the System in place, as long as he doesn't stop dual cultivation, his realm won't stagnate.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Lu Chen's order, Su Qian agreed without hesitation.

Qin Yan nearby saw this scene and couldn't help but speculate in her heart.

"She seems to never doubt Lu Chen's decisions, as if…… she had been pulled."

As an elder of the Heaven Demon Sect, Qin Yan also knows that the Pulling Technique exists.

Recalling what happened back then in the Heaven Demon Sect, she believes this speculation even more.

"Xiangxiang, Xiaoxiao, you don't need to stay by my side; go wherever you want, just remember to come back before dark."

Lu Chen knew they wanted to go home to see their families, so he let the two of them leave.

"I'm leaving too!" Seeing Gu Xiangxiang and Gu Xiaoxiao leave, Chu Lian couldn't wait to take out her alchemy furnace and find a place to make pills.

On the way here, she saw that many medicinal herbs had grown on the nearby mountains.

If she didn't use them to make pills, it would truly be a waste of heavenly treasures!

"Hmm."

Lu Chen didn't stop her, only leaving Qin Yan by his side.

He had Qin Yan sit beside him and they chatted about beast taming.

Usually Qin Yan speaks little, but as soon as beast taming is mentioned, she quickly opens up and talks at length.

Lu Chen also learned a lot about beast taming from her.

The Crimson Thunder Evil Body is a rare demon beast, possessing an extremely high heavenly demon bloodline; breaking through is not easy.

If one wants it to reach the sixth stage more quickly......

After listening for a while, it grew dark.

Lu Chen found a house with a decent environment to stay in, and the Gu sisters and Chu Lian also returned.

He lay on the bed with the four women, and the Empress watched the fun nearby, not minding the fuss.

It seems I was still too lenient with you; you actually still have the thought of dual cultivating with them.

Four— aren't you afraid of dying from exhausting your essence?" The Empress said this with a teasing tone.

She knew very well that Lu Chen had special means to avoid dying from dual cultivation.

Otherwise, he would not have actively sought these women for dual cultivation.

I'm not afraid, really; I have no choice— in order for Empress Sister to recover her physical body soon, my realm must catch up quickly, right?

Lu Chen sent a Divine Soul Transmission, his tone slightly amused.

Who was it that initially wanted to dissolve the Divine Soul Contract with me?

Back then it was you, younger brother, wasn't it?

Now younger brother understands; it's Empress Sister who treats me well." Lu Chen said with a hint of flattery.

The reason he suddenly acted this way is mainly because he took a fancy to the Empress's technique.

With so many treasures on her, over this time she has coughed out several techniques such as the Myriad Slaughter Devil Classic.

If she could cough out a few more, he wouldn't feel lacking in strength everywhere and be without confidence.

Where did you learn such sweet talk?" The Empress, having lived so many years, has heard all kinds of sweet talk.

But perhaps because she has slept for too many years, Lu Chen's words actually proved somewhat useful to her.

However, the next second, Lu Chen revealed his true purpose.

Want a technique? Then come let the Empress dual cultivate!

The Empress instantly regained her lofty demeanor, her tone carrying displeasure.

Before, she rather enjoyed watching Lu Chen and a few others dual cultivate.

After all, one could learn something from it.

But as time passed, her notions gradually changed.

No dual cultivating with them! Come in and find me at once!

Otherwise, we won't discuss the technique!

Lu Chen heard this and gave a wry smile.

The Empress's personality is completely unlike what she imagined an Empress to be.

But perhaps this is related to her past experiences.

Looking at Qin Yan and the four others fully prepared beside him, he could only shake his head.

For the technique, let's dual cultivate with them again tomorrow!
