Chapter 208

~18 min read 3,453 words

A few days later.

A flying ship flew slowly across the mountains and wilderness.

It was the height of summer, and the mountains that should have been lush with trees appeared bare.

Looking at the jagged rocks and mountains of different heights, Luo Chen, who came out for a walk, couldn't help but shake his head.

This is already the territory of Liuguang Market.

However, the territory of such a large market has no immortal spiritual energy like Dahe Market or Taishan Market.

It seems that the rumor that the Yuding Sword Pavilion dug mines here and destroyed the spiritual vein of Liuguang Market is not false.

Now the ore has been dug out.

The Yuding Sword Pavilion waved its hand and left, not taking away a single cloud.

What was left to the local cultivators was this scarred land.

"No wonder bandits emerge in Liuguang Market!"

"In such a resource-poor place, if you want to survive, if you don't rely on fighting and robbing, do you rely on honest cultivation?"

Sighing, Luo Chen was about to go back, but his gaze stopped in one direction.

"Little Duan, is the Bai family in that direction?"

At this time, the Sky Eagle Flying Ship was being controlled by one of Duan Feng's casting apprentices, so the flight speed was a bit slow.

Duan Feng also took this opportunity to come out and rest.

Hearing the name Bai family, his cold expression immediately collapsed.

A trace of hatred buried deep in his heart surfaced in his eyes.

Nodding, Duan Feng said coldly:

"If the President sees a big mountain with huge cypresses, that must be the Bai family's territory."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

In his line of sight, there was indeed a big mountain covered with green cypresses.

Especially in the center of the mountain, a huge cypress tree rose from the ground, reaching a thousand feet high, straight into the clouds.

Covering the whole mountain, almost no sunlight could be seen.

Cypress, a first-tier spirit wood.

But growing to this extent, it has crossed the first tier and reached the second tier.

Even, faintly reaching the quality of the third tier.

"There is indeed a huge cypress tree."

"Then that's right." Duan Feng said hatefully: "Most of the spiritual veins in Liuguang Market were destroyed, except for the Bai family, which relied on a second-tier cypress to lock the spiritual energy of the earth vein, achieving their two-hundred-year reputation."

"Not only that, the cypress will produce cypress oil, which is extremely suitable for casting."

"Plus Liuguang Market was rich in mineral materials back then, so the Bai family ranked among the casting families."

Luo Chen suddenly realized, and then asked curiously: "So, that's how the cross-market war between your Duan family and the Bai family back then came about?"

"That's right. The cultivators in Liuguang Market have limited consumption power. The Bai family produced too many low-level magic tools and couldn't consume them locally, so they tried to break into the market of Dahe Market. Thus, a war between the two major casting families broke out."

He said it very detailed, almost word for word.

Luo Chen looked at his face with hatred and understood in his heart.

It was also in that great battle that his father sacrificed himself for the family and died at the hands of the Bai family cultivators.

"Don't worry, although I hate them. But I won't ignore the overall situation."

Duan Feng pursed his lips, his voice popping out from between his teeth word by word.

"After I achieve Foundation Establishment, I will avenge this revenge myself!"

Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder.

"Little Duan, don't worry, this time is not far... Eh?"

Luo Chen frowned, moving his body uneasily.

His suspicious gaze looked around.

Just now, he suddenly felt a sense of being spied on.

"I'm going to take over the shift; call me if there's anything."

Duan Feng didn't want to stay outside anymore.

Taking a deep look at the direction of the Bai family, he drilled into the lower cabin.

Luo Chen gave a light "hmm" and still looked around suspiciously.

"Gone?"

"So abrupt, it makes me even more certain that someone was indeed spying on me just now."

"Who is it, and where are they?"

Suddenly!

His eyes were shining with spiritual light, and the Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique erupted, staring fixedly at that huge cypress tree across a thousand miles.

"What a keen perception!"

On the cypress tree, a middle-aged man with a glowing face, even described as greasy, changed his face slightly.

Holding a formation disk in one hand, he whispered.

"Dominating!"

"This person is extraordinary!"

Just now, it was he who spied from afar with the help of the huge cypress tree under his feet.

But he didn't expect to be almost discovered.

No!

It should be said that he had already been detected by that Alchemist Danchenzi.

A ninth-level Qi Refining Bai family cultivator beside him asked curiously: "Clan Leader, we've been discovered, should we still make a move?"

Bai Lun, the Bai family leader, sneered: "So what if we're discovered? Once we reach Liuguang Market, pretending not to know is the most suspicious thing."

"What's more, passing through this road without leaving something behind is not acceptable."

The Bai family cultivator worried: "This Luo Tian Society is not easy to mess with!"

The Luo Tian Society has only been established for a few years.

But its reputation is not weak at all.

Just the point of destroying the Duan family is enough for the Bai family to remember them.

During the cross-market war back then, the Bai family fought the Duan family to the death.

The Duan family once killed their way to the foot of Cypress Mountain.

If it weren't for the cypress tree, setting up a second-tier grand formation and heavily damaging the Duan family.

In that battle, the Bai family would have been removed from the immortal cultivation world.

The Luo Tian Society's ability to destroy the Duan family shows that their strength is extraordinary.

Bai Lun sneered, "I naturally know that the Luo Tian Society is not easy to mess with, so I won't touch them at all; someone will naturally make a move!"

"Then us?"

"The Nangong family is our target!"

Bai Lun showed a fierce look, mixed with a trace of greed.

He knew that Nangong Jin had bid against Wang Haichao for a low-grade magic treasure at the Huo family auction.

If nothing goes wrong!

Nangong Jin must have abundant spirit stone resources.

That defensive magic treasure was booked by someone, but these spirit stone resources will all belong to us when the time comes.

Hearing that they were going to deal with the Nangong family, the Bai family Qi Refining cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.

The Luo Tian Society and the Li family are not easy to mess with.

But a mere Nangong family, their Bai family has no problem.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Bai Lun gave a light "eh."

"Clan Leader, what's wrong?"

Bai Lun raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It seems this Alchemist Danchenzi is still a cautious master; my spying made him alert, and he turned directly."

"Adjust the direction, don't enter Liuguang Market!"

Luo Chen gave an order.

Even though Sima Hui Niang was puzzled, she still followed the order.

Soon, the Sky Eagle Flying Ship turned its bow and slowly bypassed Liuguang Market.

"What's wrong, Luo Chen?"

"Brother Wang, something is not right."

"Hmm?"

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, his pair of spirit eyes scanning all directions sharply.

The spying just now came from the Bai family.

This is not a problem.

Whoever brings a bunch of people into someone else's territory will attract spying.

But after he discovered it, the other party didn't immediately reveal their identity and draw a line.

This is very suspicious!

Whether it's welcoming, warning, or threatening, it shouldn't be so sneaky.

Doing so means the other party has bad intentions.

The journey to Tianlan Immortal City is long, and any danger, as long as it shows signs, must be avoided as much as possible.

Moreover, bypassing Liuguang Market does not mean deviating from the direction.

It just takes a little more time.

The Sky Eagle Flying Ship is easy to turn, but this caught the Nangong family and the Li family behind off guard.

Behind.

"Father, should we continue to follow?"

Nangong Qin asked curiously.

Looking at the direction that was gradually deviating in the distance, Nangong Jin hesitated.

He considered for a long time and shook his head slowly.

"Let's not follow!"

"We are not suitable for traveling too far; although Liuguang Market is barren, it can barely accommodate our family."

This is to settle in Liuguang Market.

"However, the Luo Tian Society suddenly turned, so something must have happened."

"We must not take it lightly; let everyone stop and rest for a while first!"

After he gave the order, the Nangong family began to rest on the spot.

Not long after, the Li family's main force caught up.

Nangong Jin flew out and looked at the Li family's flying ship from afar.

On the slowly flying ship, Li Yixian looked at him.

"It seems that the Li family intends to go with the Luo Tian Society."

Nangong Jin sighed.

In this way, everyone will go their separate ways in the future.

With two fewer Foundation Establishment True Persons from Dahe Market, inexplicably, he only felt that the pressure increased.

Is Liuguang Market really a good place?

No one gave him an answer.

He planned to visit the local snake, the Bai family Foundation Establishment cultivator, early tomorrow morning.

It would be best if he could talk it through, if not...

The sunset glow gradually fell, dyeing the world golden.

Luo Chen looked around, but found no suspicious signs.

"Could it be that I'm overthinking?"

Behind him, Sima Hui Niang walked up.

"President, let's camp at Gaoling Plain tonight!"

"Gaoling Plain?"

"Yes, that area has high terrain, and there are stone pillars everywhere. If we camp there, the concealment will be very strong, which can effectively prevent sudden enemy attacks, and it is also very suitable for patrolling and guarding."

"That's fine." Luo Chen nodded.

The Sky Eagle Flying Ship slowly flew towards a towering plain.

Not long after, one could see jagged rocks and hundreds or thousands of huge stone pillars standing on it.

It looked as if the beams and pillars of a collapsed palace still remained.

However, the closer he got, the more Luo Chen felt something was wrong.

"High terrain... strong concealment... no!"

Suddenly!

Luo Chen stared fixedly at the huge plain under his feet.

At the same time.

Three attacks erupted out of thin air.

They roared towards the Sky Eagle Flying Ship together.

"Damn it!"

"Duan Feng, activate the defensive formation!"

Hum!!!

A humming sound rang out instantly.

A cyan defensive light shield expanded, wrapping the entire huge flying ship.

This is the defensive formation that comes with the Sky Eagle Flying Ship.

It can barely withstand one Foundation Establishment attack.

However, what was coming head-on were three attacks!

Luo Chen didn't hesitate, his sleeves flicked, and surging spiritual power swept out.

Directly facing the most powerful of the three attacks.

The blue dragon that came head-on collapsed inch by inch with a wail under his flick.

Even if there were ripples spreading.

But under Luo Chen's constant flicking of his sleeves, it was just a light breeze and drizzle.

For Luo Chen, it caused no harm.

It's just that this familiar attack method made Luo Chen faintly associate it with someone.

At the same time, a blood-red tornado rushed out from the flying ship, rushing towards a black and red beam of light.

Boom!

The two crossed, and Wang Yuan's expression was slightly condensed.

Several black and red beams of light around him kept flowing back, and finally drilled into Gaoling Plain.

These were just two attacks.

The third attack, without anyone blocking it, was about to fall on the Sky Eagle Flying Ship.

Duan Feng, who was controlling the flying ship, changed his face drastically.

"Foundation Establishment means, pull the defensive formation to the max!"

The cyan light shield kept shaking and became a bit thicker.

Bang!

It was like a mountain collision.

The last earth-yellow stream of light smashed onto the Sky Eagle Flying Ship.

With one smash, the earth-yellow stream of light flew back, and it turned out to be a small seal.

Defended!

However, before Duan Feng and the others could be happy.

The Sky Eagle Flying Ship began to tremble and fall.

"President, the flight formation hub has been destroyed."

"Land, prepare for battle!"

Luo Chen said without looking back.

Standing in the sky.

With a gloomy expression, he looked down at the three people who were gradually revealing their true bodies on the huge stone pillars.

"Huo Hu!"

"Tushan!"

"Wang Haichao!"

When he said the last name, Luo Chen was almost gritting his teeth.

A villain who betrays his trust.

Even if they had parted ways, he was still like a mad dog, disgusting.

As if he couldn't see Luo Chen's disgusted and disdainful gaze, Wang Haichao laughed: "What kind of spell is this flick of yours, that it broke my Water Dragon Twist twice in a row."

Luo Chen glanced at him coldly and didn't answer at all.

His gaze fell on the other two.

"Tushan making a move on me, I can understand, it's just for the Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method."

"But Huo Hu, aren't you afraid of making enemies for the Huo family by doing this?"

As soon as these words came out.

Wang Haichao and Tushan, two of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, changed their expressions slightly.

Generally speaking, family Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely have conflicts with loose cultivator Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same rank.

Because the other party is alone, if they can't be killed, there will be endless trouble.

Those with low moral character.

In the future, they won't look for the Foundation Establishment True Person of that family, but will target the Qi Refining cultivators who go out to kill.

Who can defend against that?

It won't take a hundred years for the whole family to be tossed until their vitality is greatly damaged.

The threat in Luo Chen's words was self-evident!

If Huo Hu was bluffed by him, then the two of them would be embarrassed.

However, Huo Hu's next words.

Instantly made their hanging hearts fall.

Huo Hu twitched his mouth, "If I kill you, won't there be no enemies?"

That makes sense!

"Don't talk nonsense with them, finish the battle quickly, lest there be changes!"

Huo Hu shouted sharply and immediately bumped his fists together.

On his left and right hands, there was a bracer each; when they collided, they emitted black and red attacks that looked like gang energy and evil energy.

And this attack was clearly aimed at Wang Yuan.

Is this circling the opponent?

Wang Yuan didn't look at the incoming attack, but looked at Luo Chen instead.

Only to see Luo Chen nodding at him.

"Don't worry, I'll solve Huo Hu quickly and come to help you!"

Wang Yuan let out a low roar and turned into a blood-red tornado, rushing towards the attack without dodging or evading.

The speed was so fast that it was almost no less than the flight of a Foundation Establishment True Person.

Huo Hu was stunned for a moment; when fighting a body refiner, it's better not to get too close.

While retreating in a hurry, his hands kept colliding.

On the two bracers, beams of black and red light erupted.

Every time a beam of light erupted, Wang Yuan would also swing a punch.

The two chased and fled, and soon killed their way into the depths of the stone forest.

In this way, only Luo Chen, Tushan, and Wang Haichao were left.

Luo Chen didn't care about Wang Haichao's playful gaze, but looked down at the Sky Eagle Flying Ship that had fallen into the stone forest.

Hundreds of Luo Tian Society cultivators had already rushed out.

Greeting them were thousands of loose cultivators from the Great River Gang.

There was even the humming of formations, dragging the stone pillars to start laying out.

"Elder Min Longyu, leave these people to you. If you do well, Young Master Huo will naturally reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Wang Haichao said quietly.

Inside the stone forest, Elder Min Longyu gave a muffled "hmm," but his figure could not be seen.

At the same time, Sima Hui Niang's sharp voice erupted.

"Cultivators of the Luo Tian Society, listen to my orders."

"Sima Xian, Zhou Yuanli, lead the team to charge."

"Gu Caiyi, open a passage out of the stone forest!"

Gu Caiyi is the main attacker?

It sounds unbelievable.

However, after a three-zhang-tall giant bear puppet ran in front of her, everything became logical.

A puppet comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!

The spoils of war from the battle of Xiaohuan Mountain.

Later rewarded by Luo Chen to Gu Caiyi as the treasure of the Golden Hall.

At this moment, under Gu Caiyi's manipulation, wherever it passed, it was invincible.

Sima Xian and Zhou Yuanli, followed by experts from the War Hall and Law Enforcement Hall, constantly bombarded and killed the cultivators nearby.

The first moment of the battle.

Blood sprayed like rain, and wails were everywhere.

The momentum of the Luo Tian Society cultivators was so fierce and their combat power so tough that it was jaw-dropping.

Unfortunately, there were too many enemies, and this impact could not last long.

Moreover, there was Elder Min Longyu, a formation expert, peeking from the side.

Luo Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance, constantly scanning the stone forest, trying to find Elder Min Longyu's location.

"Don't waste your effort."

Wang Haichao smiled: "To ambush you, Young Master Huo borrowed the Huo family's top-grade concealment formation; you can't find Elder Min Longyu."

"What's more, instead of worrying about those subordinates, you should worry about yourself."

Luo Chen raised his head and looked at the two who were slowly flying towards him.

Wang Haichao, a third-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, surrounded by top-grade water-type flying swords.

Having managed a gang for many years, his methods probably wouldn't stop there.

Tushan, a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding that earth-yellow small seal, judging by its grade, it was at least top-grade.

Taking a deep breath.

Just as he was about to speak, a breeze suddenly entered his ears.

Glancing at a certain place without a trace, he stared coldly at the two people in front.

Luo Chen's spiritual power surged, blowing his white robe until it was bulging.

He said coldly: "Are you so confident that you've got me?"

"I know you..."

Whoosh!

As he spoke, the flying sword shot out.

"... have strong combat ability, so I couldn't possibly underestimate you."

Wang Haichao spoke while controlling the top-grade flying sword to attack.

Facing the shooting top-grade flying sword, Luo Chen spat out.

A sword pill flew out of his mouth.

Spinning, it transformed into thousands of golden sword lights, constantly intercepting the flying sword.

And he himself retreated.

Extreme speed!

Suddenly erupted!

"Eh?" Wang Haichao was stunned for a moment, "Is he running?"

Tushan was about to sacrifice the big seal, and seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Just now, he was still looking like he was concerned about his subordinates and wanted to fight to the death with the two of them, so why did he run before the fight even started.

In the distance, a sharp shout rang out.

"Don't let him run, or my Huo family will have no peace!"

It was Huo Hu!

It seems that his battle with Wang Yuan had the upper hand from the beginning.

He still had the energy to pay attention to this battlefield.

Wang Haichao and Tushan looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

"He can't run."

Tushan landed suddenly.

"Although the speed is fast, it is still within the scope of Foundation Establishment, so let's see my Earth Escape Technique."

The next moment, yellow light wrapped around him.

Afterwards, he escaped into the depths of the earth.

A spiritual light chased after Luo Chen at extreme speed.

From Wang Haichao's perspective, it was as if an earth dragon was rushing through the depths of the earth.

"Five Elements Escape Technique..."

Muttering, Wang Haichao also took a step, the flying sword fell under his feet, and he chased after him at extreme speed.
