Chapter 376

On the ten-thousand-mile flowing sand wasteland.

A huge floating island was quietly rooted here, and no matter how the surrounding quicksand flowed, it could not shake it in the slightest.

This day.

A figure shot over from the distance.

Some four-sect cultivators responsible for patrolling saw this scene and immediately called out to stop the other party.

"Who comes? Do you have a token?"

"Yes!"

A hoarse voice sounded, and a dark wooden plaque flashed and disappeared.

The patrolling cultivator stared at the black-clothed man shrouded in a hood, and his expression instantly became respectful.

"Please enter!"

The black-clothed man nodded and went straight into the Jinsha Floating Island.

Behind him, one of the patrolling cultivators asked suspiciously: "Why didn't the captain check his identity information? Letting him in so easily, what if he's a spy?"

The captain glared at him.

"You blind thing, can't you see that it's a token that only a Jin Dan True Person can possess? This person must be a Jin Dan Elder from our four sects!"

The teammate was stunned for a moment.

Muttering: "But, I can't see that he has the pressure of a Jin Dan cultivator?"

"If you could see it, would he still be a True Person? Idiot, go patrol in another direction!"

The scolding came from behind.

The black-clothed cultivator heard it clearly, but didn't make any move.

"The Ice Castle Elder token given to me by the Ruthless Fairy is quite useful; there's basically no questioning when entering or leaving."

Luo Chen thought silently.

He was alone; Wang Yuan was not there.

In fact, Wang Yuan also wanted to come back together.

But under Luo Chen's persuasion, he gave up this idea and went straight back to the Tianlan side.

Not letting him come back was naturally because the legend of the Blood Demon was related to him.

Even if the real Blood Demon was not Wang Yuan, but someone else.

But if Wang Yuan really came back, he would inevitably be investigated and questioned by the four sects' Jin Dan True Persons, without enough evidence to prove his innocence.

Better to avoid trouble than to add it.

After the war ends, relying on his relationship with the Ice Castle, such baseless rumors can be easily suppressed.

Moreover, Wang Yuan also had a reason to say that he had been hunted down and had no time to commit the crime.

Wang Yuan went back to Tianlan first, and in a few months, Luo Chen would bring the others from the Luotian Association back too.

From then on, this war would have little to do with them.

After entering the island, Luo Chen converged his aura as much as possible.

His whole body was shrouded in a black coat, and he even wore a hood on his head.

Cultivators passing by on the road occasionally looked at him curiously, but didn't care much at all.

This indifferent scene made Luo Chen curious himself.

"Why is everyone not surprised by my attire?"

However, soon!

He knew the reason.

On the streets of Jinsha Floating Island, the number of cultivators far exceeded Luo Chen's imagination!

Among them, there were many who were dressed the same as him, as well as those who hid their heads and showed their tails, wearing masks and bamboo hats.

"Could it be that the rotating cultivators from the Sixth Mountain have returned?"

Such a large number of cultivators surprised Luo Chen greatly.

This number was nearly twice as many as before!

But his keen spiritual sense allowed him to clearly distinguish that when looking at those cultivators who hid their faces, these were not four-sect cultivators at all.

"Rogue cultivators!"

"Basically all rogue cultivators!"

"Few young people, mostly middle-aged or elderly."

"Are they rogue cultivators who came specifically to participate in the war and exchange for Core Formation secret techniques?"

While Luo Chen was thinking silently, his footsteps quickly dived into an alley.

Before long, he walked out wearing a red cloud Daoist robe and a three-leaf Daoist crown.

Unlike the Daoist crown that just tied up his hair, this three-leaf Daoist crown of Luo Chen's had a slightly higher top, and the lower part covered his forehead.

Overall, it looked less dashing and unrestrained, but instead had a bit more stability and maturity.

After slightly adjusting his Daoist crown, Luo Chen entered the Ice Castle station.

When stepping into the area, he frowned.

"There are more people outside, but fewer vassal cultivators of the four sects?"

While he was puzzled, he soon returned to where the Luotian Association was located.

"President!"

The one who greeted him was Xu Huanzhen.

Luo Chen nodded and went straight into the stone house, with Xu Huanzhen following closely behind.

"Tell me the information about the floating island during this period."

Xu Huanzhen didn't delay and immediately told him everything one by one.

Luo Chen also quickly learned what huge changes had taken place on the battlefield in the few days he had been away.

In short, it can be summarized as: the four-sect alliance abandoned defense and launched a counterattack!

No longer guarding the Fifth and Sixth Mountains, but gathering a large number of cultivators, attempting to recapture the lost Seventh Mountain.

And on the Jinsha Floating Island, the news that the four sects had brought out Core Formation secret techniques, and even supreme Core Formation secret techniques, was spread by interested people.

Throughout the Yuding Domain, those Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who had stayed out of the matter rushed over one after another.

In just this short half-month, nearly four or five hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators had been added to the floating island.

Either family cultivators, rogue cultivators, or elders from some first- or second-rate sects.

With the Jin Dan Great Dao in front, everyone was moved!

Moreover, this trend was still expanding!

Finally.

Xu Huanzhen said, "Before long, that batch of puppets from the Luoyun Sect that are not afraid of ordinary thunder will also be delivered to the Nine Mountains of Accumulated Thunder battlefield under the leadership of the sect's elders."

"President, the horn of counterattack has already been blown!"

After hearing this information, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

He originally thought that the civil war between the two great Nascent Soul supreme sects of Yuding would continue to drag on.

But how does it look now that the Luoyun Sect side has a trend of accelerating the process?

Or perhaps, they want to regain the advantage and then continue the tug-of-war?

Reasons of cultivation realm and personal connections limited Luo Chen from thinking about deeper things.

In a situation where he couldn't find the answer, Luo Chen waved his hand.

"You go down first!"

"These few days, don't let anyone disturb me."

Xu Huanzhen looked curiously at the three-leaf Daoist crown on Luo Chen's head, and then left the stone house respectfully.

After he left, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and took off the three-leaf Daoist crown.

A flame mark stood prominently on the top of his head.

Lifelike, as if it were burning.

Rubbing the mark between his eyebrows with his fingers, Luo Chen's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to worry much about this item.

The rubbing fingers suddenly joined together like a sword!

A wisp of bright red blood slowly emerged from his sword fingers, and then carefully landed on the flame mark.

"Sss..."

A burnt smell instantly spread.

Luo Chen gritted his teeth, ignoring the slight pain from the depths of his soul, and continued this action.

After a long time, he slowly loosened his sword fingers and hung them obliquely toward the ground.

Drip!

A drop of bright red blood slowly dripped from his finger onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Wang did not deceive me; this Blood-Transforming Demon Finger of his can be driven by blood energy even without understanding dark force."

On the way back.

Wang Yuan and Luo Chen studied the mark suspected to be a curse that Yan Leizi had applied to Luo Chen before he died.

In the end, the result Wang Yuan reached was that it was similar to the bloodline secret technique mastered by the Withered Toad Huo Quan.

It should also be one of the inheritances of the Yan Alliance's true disciples.

It's just that the one Yan Leizi mastered was more profound.

Regarding this thing, Wang Yuan had studied it countless times in the past few months.

At first, he originally just wanted to cover the retreat and create time for the Luotian Association cultivators to escape.

With his ability, plus the fact that he also mastered the spiritual technique of aura concealment, circling a few times on the battlefield should have been enough to shake off the pursuers.

Then he was surrounded and intercepted several times, almost being stopped.

This made him realize that he might have a related tracking mark on him.

Especially after he faced the Withered Toad head-on and fought several times, the induction from the depths of his bloodline made him even more certain of this guess.

With his personality.

Naturally, he couldn't let this residual poison remain on him.

So at that time, he tried to clear the mark on his body with the bright force and dark force of blood energy changes.

It was precisely in this process of being constantly hunted down that Wang Yuan constantly realized, and finally stepped into the threshold of Transforming Force.

By then, he finally understood who the Withered Toad was, and why he could find his tracks time and time again.

Wang Yuan was naturally not someone who would sit and wait for death!

While using the hastily derived Blood-Transforming Demon Finger to clear the traces of the Huo family bloodline on his body, he changed his position.

Later on, the roles of the two sides were reversed!

From the Withered Toad leading people to hunt him down, it became him alone hunting down the other party.

Either striking and fleeing, or breaking them one by one, finally completely disintegrating the other party's encirclement.

If it weren't for the fact that the Withered Toad had secretly found two helpers.

Wang Yuan could have killed them all by himself!

It is even said that even if Luo Chen didn't come, Wang Yuan had a 30% chance of perishing together with the Withered Toad, Yang Wei, and Yan Leizi!

Digressing.

Back to this flame mark.

"Using essence blood as a primer, soul as a connection, and supplemented by pure spiritual power, only then can it be cast."

Luo Chen looked at the drop of foul-smelling blood on the ground.

He casually burned it away with a Fireball Spell.

"The Blood-Transforming Demon Finger can dissolve this mark, but it requires enough time; after all, my attainment in this technique is far less powerful than Wang Yuan's."

"Time..."

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Under his calm expression, there was a hint of anxiety and urgency.

Yan Leizi's identity was stated clearly before he died.

The biological son of Yan Alliance Elder Di Wanyun.

The small one is beaten, the old one comes; this is an unbreakable truth since ancient times.

Even if a child is bullied in elementary school, the parents will find the school.

Not long ago, the Luotian Association cultivators suffered heavy losses, and Luo Chen, this "old one," also took action personally.

Now, together with Wang Yuan, he killed the Withered Toad, Yan Leizi, and others, which can be considered as avenging Li Yingzhang and the others.

Therefore!

Di Wanyun seeking revenge is an inevitable matter.

This time, Luo Chen naturally couldn't let the Withered Toad Huo Quan incident repeat itself.

However, at present, he didn't have the strength to eliminate future troubles.

Then the top priority is to remove the mark between his eyebrows first, so as not to be found.

"With my attainment, the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger can only remove the essence blood primer, and it must be done slowly."

"However, I have another move!"

With a movement of his mind, for the first time since Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen cast the Cleaning Spell by pinching the spiritual formula!

As a first-tier spell, the Cleaning Spell is widely circulated, and almost every cultivator knows a trick or two.

The difference is just the degree of attainment.

Luo Chen's attainment in this spell has already reached the point of being unprecedented and unrepeatable.

Once cast, it can clear not only dirt and dust but even alien auras.

When he was in the Qi Refining stage, he used this to drive away the pure Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power mark left on him by Mi Shuhua.

He had also casually dispelled spells, ghost energy, and yin energy.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't put this spell down, and would cast it a few times from time to time.

Others just thought he had a cleanliness obsession.

Little did they know, he felt that even if this spell reached perfection, it still had potential to be tapped.

Just like basic spells such as the Fireball Spell, after reaching perfection, they can still be constantly optimized, eventually leading him to research a "Blazing Sun Spell" that can have almost infinitely accumulating power.

It is slower than the original Blazing Sun Spell, but its upper limit far exceeds the original.

His hope for the Cleaning Spell is the same.

Under constant practice, especially removing the evil energy from Li Yingzhang's body a few months ago, Luo Chen vaguely gained something.

"Cleaning everything on the body that is not mine; dirt and dust can be cleaned, spiritual power and evil energy can be cleaned, why can't soul marks be cleaned!"

In his murmurs, Luo Chen recalled the old events of Dahefang.

Mi Shuhua was calculating!

Not only did he leave a spiritual power mark on him, but he also left a spiritual sense mark, which was finally removed by Pang Renxiong.

Then could he do it himself?

He himself had this foundation!

Over the years, he had opened many storage bags, among which there were many existences proficient in soul restrictions.

Isn't a spiritual sense mark a variant of soul restriction?

Under his careful handling.

His hands trembled slightly.

A Cleaning Spell was cast on the flame mark between his eyebrows.

In an instant.

Luo Chen's body jerked!

Within his golden sea of consciousness, ripples suddenly appeared.

In a trance, Luo Chen instantly woke up.

He only felt a sense of relief, as if the shackles on his body had lightened a bit.

Condensing the Water Mirror Spell, Luo Chen looked at his forehead again.

The lifelike flame mark had already faded a bit after the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger was cast.

Now the overall color had dimmed even more!

Seeing this, the corners of Luo Chen's mouth rose slightly.

"It really is feasible!"

"This Cleaning Spell still has great potential to be tapped!"

After confirming that the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger and the Cleaning Spell could eliminate the flame mark, the big stone in Luo Chen's heart finally landed.

According to his estimation, at most a few more days, he could completely solve this hidden danger.

After all, the person who cast this spell was only a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It couldn't be considered a very profound method.

Wang Yuan could solve it with force and blood-path methods, and he, Luo Chen, also had his own methods!

"Next, it's just waiting for the half-year period to arrive, and I can take the team and leave."

Luo Chen muttered.

"Stop!"

"May I ask, is your President Luo Chen here?"

"Who are you?"

"Tiankuizi Chu Kui requests an audience, please report to Fellow Daoist Luo Chen."

The Luotian Association cultivator on duty at the station looked at the sturdy man in front of him and was stunned.

Chu Kui!

Isn't that the most famous and powerful rogue cultivator in their Tianlan Immortal City?

He didn't dare to be slow and immediately went back to report.

Inside the stone house.

Luo Chen, who was casting spells every day to clear the mark, frowned slightly when he heard that Chu Kui had come to visit.

What is he here for?

He knew about Chu Kui's news.

Because the Daoist name Tiankuizi had always been on the merit list of the four-sect alliance.

He joined the four-sect alliance as a rogue cultivator, thereby earning merits on the battlefield.

It's just that the other party was a rogue cultivator, and plus his high realm, he was not strictly restricted in his range of activities by the alliance.

Therefore, in the few months Luo Chen had been on Jinsha Floating Island, he had almost never encountered the other party.

"After the four sects brought out Core Formation secret techniques, Chu Kui must be very tempted. He is not in a hurry to earn merits on the battlefield, but came to find me unhurriedly?"

"Interesting!"

"I'd like to know what he's planning."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and immediately asked his subordinate to invite Chu Kui over.

Before long.

The tall man wearing a bamboo hat came into the stone house.

He took off his bamboo hat.

Before Luo Chen could speak, he went straight to the point.

"President Luo, are you interested in doing something big!"
