You did, after all, offer me a word of advice before you left, so why would I hold a grudge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai waved his hand. \"There is no need for such formality; we can address each other as peers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded with a chuckle and addressed him, \"Fellow Daoist Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this address, Li Canghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to look at the two demon race Great Experts, whose expressions were uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of Cangwu Mountain in the Eastern Wasteland made them quite wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something they had not anticipated earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qing Shuang’s appearance and the Nirvana Holy Fire Luo Chen had revealed all indicated that Cangwu Mountain had a hand in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Li Canghai’s attitude was of great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Emperor Whale said in a muffled voice, \"Li Canghai, you reached a consensus with us; what are you planning now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai sighed helplessly. \"But I also have a partnership with Fellow Daoist Luo Chen. Before this battle concludes, it is only right that I fight alongside him.

Qing Shuang was likely no better; that sword strike from the White Tiger True Monarch, even across two worlds, was not something easily endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two against two, they held a massive advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were three against two...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai was in perfect condition, and he was extremely cunning; if he truly intended to help Luo Chen, the situation would become chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Beili Great Saint coughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whale Emperor, let it be!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" The Sea Emperor Whale looked unwilling, his gaze shifting between the long sword in Luo Chen’s hand and the bone umbrella in Qing Shuang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai took the opportunity to say, \"Fellow Daoist Beili is right. Today has been bloody enough; why stir up more trouble? Besides, the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect is now leaderless and was heavily damaged by Fellow Daoist Luo Chen’s people, like a weak lamb. That was once the world’s number one holy land; are you two not tempted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While mediating, he flicked his palm, and a large seal appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already taken the Lanke Mountain Range; the rest I leave to you two fellow daoists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, the Beili Great Saint and the Sea Emperor Whale were both tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than risking offending Cangwu Mountain to fight a great battle against Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, it was better to easily reap Luo Chen’s fruits of victory and seize the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect as a rich trophy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged a glance and reached a tacit understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have offended you today, farewell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the two departed simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One headed toward the Libei Continent, the other toward the Tiannan Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, Li Canghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and looked at Luo Chen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, those things should have belonged to you; it was I who overstepped and made decisions on your behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly. \"They are merely worldly possessions. Besides, I only sought one thing on this trip; beyond that, I desire nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such magnanimity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai subconsciously glanced at the blood-stained sword the other held, and the golden flames that had not been extinguished from start to finish, and he couldn't help but press his lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The great battle has concluded; I assume you have matters to attend to, so I shall not disturb you further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will keep the memory of our camaraderie in battle today in my heart. If I am fortunate enough to achieve Soul Transformation, I will visit you personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish you success in your Soul Transformation and a prosperous path of immortality!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Canghai cupped his hands and then vanished before Luo Chen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Luo Chen remained standing in place. Qing Shuang appeared once more, her gaze falling on the golden flames that were still being maintained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Camaraderie in battle? I am very curious about what mindset you were in when you said those words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense spread across the sky; only when he sensed that Li Canghai had completely departed did Luo Chen slowly retract the Nirvana Holy Fire. With a shake of his hand, the Wutu Sword also disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clutched his chest and coughed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What other mindset could there be? The other party apologized; could I really hold Li Canghai accountable for fleeing the battle now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering he stepped out to mediate between the two great demons of the North Sea afterward, I will not pursue it too harshly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too harshly? Does that not mean you still intend to demand an explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An explanation? An explanation is needed, but not from Li Canghai—it is from those two fellows in the North Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew that with your personality, you could never tolerate others snatching food from your mouth right in front of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because his mind relaxed after the battle, Qing Shuang’s words were more numerous than usual, though only by a few sentences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze looked into the distance, where streams of light were flying in this direction; at the end of the procession, it seemed the aftermath of the battle had not yet extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demon cultivators of the Duzhen Hall, I will take them away later. As for you...\" Qing Shuang let out a turbid breath, looking at Luo Chen with a complex expression, and handed over the bone umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen subconsciously took the bone umbrella, not understanding why she would show such an expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nonchalantly, \"Do not worry, Fellow Daoist. Once I achieve the Soul Transformation stage, I will personally undo the Life-and-Death Gu between us. We shall meet again then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang shook her head gloomily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be better if we never met again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did she mean by that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Luo Chen was puzzled, Qing Shuang had already leaped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the streams of light returning, Qing Shuang waved her large sleeves amidst a chorus of exclamations, taking the demon experts in one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen held the bone umbrella, watching this scene with a hint of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"Universe in the Sleeve\" technique was truly elegant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Qing Shuang ascended to Soul Transformation, using it made her look like a true immortal; if only he could learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, it shouldn't be too difficult. With my current attainments in spatial restrictions, combined with the spatial talent shared from Qing Shuang, if I pair it with suitable magic robes, perhaps I could create a similar technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen had a sudden inspiration, seemingly gaining some insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was lost in thought, the Eastern Wasteland cultivators had already withdrawn from the Dao Sect Continent and, led by Tianxuan, arrived where Luo Chen was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, Tianxuan has not failed your mission!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she saw Luo Chen, Tianxuan stepped forward excitedly to pay her respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, his gaze falling on the group of people behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first focused on the cultivators of the Luotian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of Luotian Sect cultivators participating in this battle totaled six, plus the two great wild beasts, the Black King and the Mysterious Turtle. Tianxuan acted as a scout, and Di Tu was assigned to the Tiannan Continent to block reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at them now, the lineup remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan was bathed in blood, but his spirit was full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Long’s magic robe was as white as snow, seemingly having suffered no damage from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Fengzi, Haoranzi, and Yu Jiaolong all had somewhat withered auras, especially Yu Jiaolong, whose injuries were completely uncontrollable; she relied entirely on Cang Long’s support to remain standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is good that no one has fallen!\" Luo Chen said with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Long smoothed her hair and sighed, \"Thanks to your intelligence, Master, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the Dongyuan Continent was fewer than we imagined. Although each was very powerful, in situations where we outnumbered them, those who fell accounted for a very small proportion of those who went into battle, and most were on the Lanke Mountain Range battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had also gone to that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bai explained in a low voice, \"The Dao Sect’s foundation is unfathomable. Even with the Kui Ox Ghost God detonating first, they activated Great Expert techniques to forcibly slay it. Afterward, facing the siege of the demon experts and the two top sects of the Eastern Wasteland, they still resisted to the death, leading to many casualties. If Great Expert Li Canghai hadn't forcibly seized the Lanke Mountain Range and used his divine ability to throw everyone out, I fear even more would have died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I still underestimated the Dao Sect’s foundation.\" Luo Chen murmured, his gaze passing over the crowd to look into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of blood-bathed light were withdrawing from the Dongyuan Continent one after another; even with a tsunami before them, there were still Dao Sect experts pursuing them from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Dao Sect experts were not just from the Dongyuan Continent, but also from the other two continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, relying solely on Di Tu and Deng Taiyue could not achieve a perfect interception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen knew what to do and flicked his finger toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wutu Sword obeyed the command, transforming into a massive sword light that crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword strike barely separated the pursuers from those withdrawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Bingtao and the other Dao Sect experts responsible for the pursuit stopped subconsciously, looking at the blood-stained sword in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure descended slowly from the sky, the tips of his feet resting on the hilt of the sword, looking coldly at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all, stop here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die, thief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone charged up in anger, only to be met by a single streak of Red Firmament sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword Qi pierced through the body, piercing the other’s Purple Mansion Nascent Soul in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppression, absolute and total suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, no one dared to pursue further, especially because of the familiar aura emanating from that blood-stained sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the aura of the ancestor Lian Cheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great terror began to spread uncontrollably in everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen looked down calmly at the Dao Sect cultivators. \"My sect has no deep hatred with you all; this battle was merely a last resort.
