Chapter 208

Several days later.

A flying boat slowly flew across the wilderness between the mountains.

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

Looking at the craggy rocks and the mountains of varying heights, Luo Chen, who had come out for a walk, couldn't help but shake his head.

This was already the territory of Liuguangfang.

However, the vast market territory lacked the celestial spiritual aura of Dahefang or Taishanfang.

It seems the rumor that the Yuding Sword Sect destroyed the spiritual veins of Liuguangfang by mining here was not false.

Now the ore had been mined out.

The Yuding Sword Sect waved their hands and left, not taking a single cloud with them.

What was left for the local cultivators was this scene of devastation.

"No wonder Liuguangfang produces so many bandit cultivators!"

"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 boat was being controlled by one of Duan Feng's casting apprentices, so the flight speed was a bit slow.

Duan Feng was also taking this opportunity to come out and rest.

Hearing the name "Bai family," his indifferent expression immediately crumbled.

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

Nodding, Duan Feng said coldly:

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

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Within his line of sight, there was indeed a mountain covered with lush cypress trees.

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

It shrouded the entire mountain, almost blocking out the sunlight.

Cypress, a first-grade spiritual wood.

But growing to this extent, it had already crossed the first grade and reached the second grade.

It was even faintly reaching the quality of the third grade.

"There is indeed a huge cypress tree."

"Then that's it," Duan Feng said hatefully: "Most of the spiritual veins in Liuguangfang were destroyed, only the Bai family, relying on a second-grade cypress tree to lock the spiritual energy of the earth veins, achieved their two-hundred-year reputation."

"Not only that, the cypress tree also produces cypress oil, which is extremely suitable for casting."

"Coupled with the fact that Liuguangfang was rich in mineral materials back then, the Bai family became a casting family."

Luo Chen suddenly realized, and then asked curiously: "So, that led to the cross-market war between your Duan family and the Bai family back then?"

"That's right. The cultivators of Liuguangfang 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 Dahefang market. Thus, a war between the two great casting families broke out."

He spoke in great detail, almost word for word.

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

It was also in that great war 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, I won't disregard the big picture."

Duan Feng pursed his lips, and the words popped out from between his teeth one by one.

"After I reach Foundation Establishment, I will avenge this hatred myself!"

Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder.

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

Luo Chen frowned slightly and twisted his body uneasily.

He looked around with suspicious eyes.

He had just suddenly sensed a feeling of being watched.

"I'm going to take over the shift, call me if anything happens."

Duan Feng didn't want to stay outside anymore.

He took a deep look at the direction of the Bai family and then dived into the lower cabin.

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

"Gone?"

"Being so abrupt only makes me more certain that someone was indeed secretly spying on me just now."

"Who is it, and where are they?"

Suddenly!

His eyes shone with spiritual light, and his perfect Spirit Eye Technique suddenly erupted, looking fixedly at the huge cypress tree from a thousand miles away.

"What keen perception!"

On top of the cypress tree, a middle-aged man with a flushed, even greasy face, changed his expression slightly.

Holding the formation disk in his hand, he whispered in his mouth.

"Arrogant!"

"This kid is extraordinary!"

Just now, it was he who spied from afar, using 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 Dan Chenzi.

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

Bai family patriarch Bai Lun sneered: "What if we are discovered? Arriving at Liuguangfang, pretending not to know is the most suspicious thing."

"Besides, passing through this road without leaving something behind is not reasonable."

The Qi Refining cultivator worried: "This Luotian Society is not easy to provoke!"

Although the Luotian Society has only been established for a few years,

its reputation is not weak at all.

Just the fact that they wiped out the Duan family is enough for the Bai family to remember them.

During the cross-market war back then, the Bai family and the Duan family fought earth-shatteringly, with blood flowing like a river.

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

If it weren't for the second-grade formation set up with the help of the cypress tree, which heavily damaged the Duan family,

the Bai family would have been wiped out from the cultivation world in that battle.

The Luotian Society being able to wipe out the Duan family shows their extraordinary strength.

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

"Then us?"

"The Nangong family is our target!"

A fierce look appeared on Bai Lun's face, mixed with a trace of greed.

He knew that at the Huo family auction, Nangong Jin had made a move to compete with Wang Haichao for a low-grade magic treasure.

If nothing goes wrong!

Nangong Jin must have abundant spirit stones on him.

That defensive magic treasure was reserved by someone, but all these spirit stone resources would belong to them by then.

Hearing that they were going to deal with the Nangong family, the Bai family Qi Refining cultivator couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Luotian Society and the Li family are not easy to provoke.

But the Bai family has no problem with a mere Nangong family.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Bai Lun gave a soft "eh."

"Patriarch, what's wrong?"

Bai Lun raised his eyebrows and said softly: "It seems this Dan Chenzi is a cautious one; my spying made him wary, and he turned away directly."

"Adjust the direction, do not enter Liuguangfang!"

Luo Chen gave an order.

Even though Sima Huiniang was puzzled, she still gave the order.

Soon, the Sky Eagle flying boat turned its bow and slowly bypassed Liuguangfang.

"What's wrong, Luo Chen?"

"Brother Wang, something is not right."

"Hmm?"

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

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, and his pair of spirit eyes scanned the surroundings sharply.

The spying just now came from the Bai family.

There is no problem with that.

Whoever enters someone else's territory with a large group of people will attract spying.

But after he discovered it, the other party did not immediately reveal their identity or set down the rules.

This is very suspicious!

Whether it's a welcome, a warning, or a threat, there's no need to be so secretive.

Doing so shows that the other party has ill intentions.

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

Moreover, bypassing Liuguangfang does not mean deviating from the direction.

It just takes a little more time.

The Sky Eagle flying boat turned easily, but this caught the Nangong family and the Li family behind them 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 Liuguangfang is barren, it can barely accommodate our family."

This meant they were going to settle in Liuguangfang.

"However, the Luotian Society suddenly turning must mean something happened."

"We must not lower our guard; let everyone stop and rest for a while!"

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 boat from afar.

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

"It seems the Li family intends to join the Luotian Society."

Nangong Jin sighed.

In this way, everyone will part ways in the future.

Without the two true Foundation Establishment cultivators, Luo Chen and Li Yixian, who both came from Dahefang, he inexplicably felt the pressure increase.

Is Liuguangfang really a good place?

No one told him the answer.

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

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

The twilight of dusk gradually spilled down, dyeing the world golden.

Luo Chen looked around, but never found anything suspicious.

"Could it be that I was overthinking?"

Behind him, Sima Huiniang walked up.

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

"Gaoling Plain?"

"Yes, that area has a high vantage point and is filled with stone pillars. If we camp there, the concealment is extremely strong, which can effectively prevent sudden enemy attacks and is also very suitable for patrolling and guarding."

"That's possible." Luo Chen nodded.

The Sky Eagle flying boat slowly flew toward a towering plain.

Not long after, one could see craggy rocks and hundreds or thousands of huge stone pillars standing there.

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

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

"High vantage point... extremely strong concealment... No!"

Suddenly!

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

At the same time.

Three attacks suddenly erupted from thin air.

They bombarded the Sky Eagle flying boat 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 boat.

This was the defensive formation that came with the Sky Eagle flying boat.

It could barely withstand one Foundation Establishment stage attack.

But what was coming head-on were three attacks!

Luo Chen did not hesitate, his large sleeves shook, and surging spiritual power swept out.

He faced the most powerful of the three attacks head-on.

The blue flood dragon that came head-on collapsed inch by inch with a mournful cry under his sweep.

Even if there were ripples spreading.

But under Luo Chen's continuous sleeve sweeps, it was nothing more than a light breeze and drizzle.

For Luo Chen, it could not cause any harm.

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

At the same time, a blood-colored tornado rushed out from the flying boat, pouncing toward a beam of black and red light.

Boom!

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

Several smaller black and red light beams flowed back and finally drilled into Gaoling Plain.

These were just two attacks.

The third attack, with no one to block it, was about to land on the Sky Eagle flying boat.

Duan Feng, who was controlling the flying boat, changed his expression greatly.

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

The deep cyan light shield shook continuously, becoming a bit thicker.

Bang!

It was like a mountain colliding.

The last beam of earthy yellow light smashed onto the Sky Eagle flying boat.

With one smash, the earthy yellow light flew back; it was actually a small seal.

It blocked it!

However, Duan Feng and the others didn't have time to be happy.

The Sky Eagle flying boat trembled and fell downward.

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

"Land, prepare for battle!"

Luo Chen said without looking back.

He stood in the sky.

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

"Huo Hu!"

"Tu Shan!"

"Wang Haichao!"

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

A treacherous villain.

Even after parting ways, he was still like a vicious dog, disgusting.

As if he couldn't see Luo Chen's disgusted and disdainful gaze, Wang Haichao laughed loudly: "What exactly is this sweeping technique of yours? It broke my Water Dragon Twist twice in a row by striking after it."

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

His gaze fell on the other two.

"Tu Shan 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 were spoken.

Wang Haichao and Tu Shan, among the three great Foundation Establishment cultivators, changed their expressions slightly.

Generally speaking, family Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely have conflicts with rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level.

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

Those with lower moral character.

In the future, they won't look for the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, but will stare at the Qi Refining cultivators who go out and kill them.

Who can defend against that?

It wouldn't take a hundred years for the entire family to be severely 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 let their hanging hearts drop.

Huo Hu twitched his mouth, "If I kill you, won't the enemy-making cease to exist?"

That makes sense!

"No more nonsense with them, quick battle, quick decision, delay will lead to changes!"

Huo Hu shouted sharply and immediately bumped his fists together.

On both his left and right hands, there was a bracer; when they collided, they emitted black and red attacks that resembled 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.

He saw Luo Chen nod at him.

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

Wang Yuan roared, turned into a blood-colored tornado, and rushed toward the attack without dodging or avoiding.

The speed was almost no less than the flight of a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

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

While retreating in a hurry, his hands collided continuously.

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

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

The two chased and fled, quickly killing their way into the depths of the stone forest.

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

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

Hundreds of Luotian Society cultivators had already rushed out.

Greeting them were thousands of rogue cultivators from the Dajiang Gang.

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

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

Wang Haichao said leisurely.

Inside the stone forest, Min Longyu gave a muffled "hmm," but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

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

"Luotian Society cultivators, 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 a bit unbelievable.

However, when a three-zhang-tall giant bear puppet started running in front of her, everything became logical.

A puppet comparable to the perfect Qi Refining stage!

The spoils of war obtained from the battle of Xiaohuan Mountain.

It was later rewarded by Luo Chen to Gu Caiyi as the treasure of the Golden Hall.

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

Sima Xian and Zhou Yuanli, leading the experts of the Battle Hall and Law Enforcement Hall, followed closely behind, continuously bombarding and killing the nearby cultivators.

At the first moment of the battle.

Blood sprayed like rain, and wails were everywhere.

The momentum of the Luotian Society cultivators was fierce, and their combat power was shocking.

Unfortunately, there were too many enemies, and this impact momentum, I'm afraid, would not last long.

Moreover, there was Min Longyu, a formation expert, watching from the sidelines.

Luo Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance, scanning the stone forest continuously, trying to find Min Longyu's position.

"Don't waste your effort."

Wang Haichao laughed: "To ambush you, Young Master Huo borrowed the Huo family's top-grade concealment formation; you won't be able to find Min Longyu."

"Besides, instead of worrying about those subordinates, you'd better worry about yourself."

Luo Chen looked up and looked at the two who were slowly flying toward him.

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

Having managed a gang for many years, I'm afraid his means are not limited to this.

Tu Shan, a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding the earthy yellow small seal in his hand; looking at its grade, it is at least top-grade.

Taking a deep breath.

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

He glanced at a certain place without a trace, and then 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!

While speaking, the flying sword shot out.

"Your combat ability is very strong, it's impossible for me to underestimate you."

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

Facing the top-grade flying sword that shot out, Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat.

A sword pill flew out from his mouth.

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

And he himself retreated.

Extreme speed!

Suddenly erupted!

"Eh?" Wang Haichao was stunned for a moment, "He wants to run?"

Tu Shan was about to sacrifice the big seal, and seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Just a moment ago, he looked like he was concerned about his subordinates and wanted to fight to the death with them, so why did he run before the fight even started?

In the distance, a sharp shout rang out.

"Don't let him run, otherwise my Huo family will never have peace!"

It's 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 Tu Shan looked at each other, then nodded tacitly.

"He can't run."

Tu Shan suddenly landed.

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

The next moment, earthy yellow light wrapped around him.

Then, he escaped into the depths of the earth.

A ray of spiritual light chased toward Luo Chen's direction at high speed.

From Wang Haichao's perspective, it was as if an earth dragon was rushing and crashing deep underground.

"Five Elements Escape Technique..."

Muttering silently, Wang Haichao also took a step, the flying sword fell under his feet, and he chased and killed at high speed.
