Chapter 376: Facing Chu Kui: Luo Chen, any interest in doing something big!

On the ten-thousand-mile quicksand wasteland.

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

This day.

A figure shot over from afar.

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

"Who comes? Any token?"

"Yes!"

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

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

"Please enter!"

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

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

The captain glared at him.

"You have no eye for talent, can't you see that's a token that only a Core Formation master can possess? This person must be a Core Formation Elder from within our four sects!"

The teammate was stunned for a moment.

Muttering: "But, I can't see the pressure of a Core Formation cultivator?"

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

The scolding came from behind.

The black-clothed cultivator heard it clearly but made no move.

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

Luo Chen thought silently.

He was alone, Wang Yuan was not with him.

In reality, Wang Yuan had wanted to come back together.

But under Luo Chen's persuasion, he gave up the idea and returned directly to Tianlan.

Not letting him come back was naturally because the Blood Demon legend 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' Core Formation masters, and without sufficient evidence to prove his innocence.

Better to avoid trouble than to add it.

After the war ended, by relying on his relationship with the Bingbao, this baseless rumor could be easily suppressed.

Moreover, Wang Yuan had a reason to say he had been hunted down and had no time to commit crimes.

Wang Yuan would return to Tianlan first, and in a few months, Luo Chen would bring the others from the Luo Tian Society back.

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

After entering the island, Luo Chen tried his best to restrain his aura.

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 took a curious look at him, but didn't care much.

This indifferent scene made Luo Chen himself curious.

"Why is everyone so unfazed by my outfit?"

However, soon!

He knew the reason.

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

Among them were many dressed like him, as well as those hiding their heads and tails, wearing masks and bamboo hats.

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

Such a large number of cultivators surprised Luo Chen greatly.

This number was nearly double what it was before!

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

"Loose cultivators!"

"Basically all loose cultivators!"

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

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

While Luo Chen was thinking silently, his footsteps were fast as he drilled into an alley.

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

Unlike the usual 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 uninhibited than before, but instead had a bit more stability and maturity.

Adjusting his Daoist crown slightly, Luo Chen entered the Bingbao station.

When stepping into the range, he frowned.

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

He was puzzled, but soon returned to where the Luo Tian Society was located.

"President!"

The one greeting him was Xu Huanzhen.

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

"Tell me the intelligence on the floating island during this period."

Xu Huanzhen did not delay and told him everything one by one.

Luo Chen also quickly learned what huge changes had occurred on the battlefield in the few days he had been out.

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

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

And on the Golden Sand Floating Island, news that the four sects had brought out Core Formation secret techniques, and even superior-method Core Formation secret techniques, had been spread by interested parties.

All the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yuding Domain who had been staying out of the war rushed over.

In just this half a month, there were nearly four or five hundred more Foundation Establishment cultivators on the floating island.

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

With the Core Formation Great Dao in front, everyone was moved!

Moreover, this trend was still constantly expanding!

Finally.

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

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

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

He had originally thought that the civil war between the two Nascent Soul grand sects in the Yuding Domain would continue to drag on.

But how did it look like the Luoyun Sect side was accelerating the process?

Or was it that they wanted to regain the advantage and then continue the tug-of-war?

The reasons of cultivation realm and interpersonal relationships limited Luo Chen from thinking about deeper things.

Unable to find an answer, Luo Chen waved his hand.

"You go down first!"

"During these days, don't let anyone disturb me."

Xu Huanzhen curiously looked at the three-leaf Daoist crown on Luo Chen's head, 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 tall on the top of his head.

Lifelike, as if it were burning.

Rubbing the mark between his brows, Luo Chen's face was calm, seemingly not worried about this thing at all.

His rubbing fingers suddenly formed a sword shape!

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

"Sizzle..."

A burnt smell instantly spread.

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

After a long time, he slowly loosened his sword finger and hung it diagonally toward the ground.

Drip!

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

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 activated with just blood energy even without mastering dark and light energy."

On the way back.

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

In the end, the result Wang Yuan obtained was that it was similar to the bloodline secret technique mastered by Ku Chan Huo Quan.

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

It was just that what Yan Leizi mastered was more profound.

For this thing, Wang Yuan had studied it countless times in these few months.

At first, he had only wanted to cover the retreat and create time for the Luo Tian Society cultivators to escape.

With his ability, coupled with the fact that he had also mastered the Spirit-Restraining Technique, he should have been able to shake off the pursuers by circling a few times on the battlefield.

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

This made him realize that there might be a related tracking mark on him.

Especially when he encountered Ku Chan head-on and fought several times, the sensing from the depths of his bloodline made him even more certain of this guess.

With his personality.

Naturally, he couldn't let such a poisonous legacy remain on him.

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

It was precisely in this process of being constantly hunted that Wang Yuan realized continuously, and finally stepped into the threshold of Transformation Energy.

By then, he finally understood who Ku Chan was, and why he could find his tracks again and 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 Huo family bloodline traces on his body, he changed his position.

Later on, the roles of both sides were reversed!

From Ku Chan leading people to hunt him, it became him hunting the other party instead.

Either fleeing after one strike, or breaking them one by one, finally completely disintegrating the opponent's encirclement.

If Ku Chan hadn't secretly found two helpers.

Wang Yuan could have killed them all by himself!

It was even said that even if Luo Chen hadn't come, Wang Yuan had a thirty percent chance of perishing together with Ku Chan, Yang Wei, and Yan Leizi!

Digressing.

Returning to this flame mark.

"Using essence blood as a lead, soul as a connection, and pure spiritual power as an auxiliary, only then can it be cast."

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

He casually burned it with a Fireball Technique.

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

"Time..."

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Under his calm face, there was a hint of unease and urgency.

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

The son of Flame Alliance Elder Di Wanyun.

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

Even if a child is bullied in elementary school, the parents have to go to the school.

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

Now, together with Wang Yuan, killing Ku Chan, Yan Leizi, and others, could be considered helping Li Yingzhang and others avenge their grudge.

Therefore!

Di Wanyun seeking revenge is an inevitable thing.

This time, Luo Chen naturally wouldn't let the matter of Ku Chan Huo Quan repeat itself.

However, currently, he didn't have the strength to eliminate the root cause.

Then the top priority is to remove the mark between his brows first, so as not to be sought out.

"With my attainments in the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger, I can only remove the essence blood lead, and it must be done slowly."

"However, I have another move!"

With a thought, Luo Chen cast the Cleaning Technique by forming spiritual seals for the first time since Foundation Establishment!

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

The difference is only the degree of attainment.

Luo Chen's attainment in this spell had long reached a level unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed.

After casting the spell, not only dirt and dust, but even foreign auras could be cleared.

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

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

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he did not put this spell down and would cast it a few times casually from time to time.

Others only thought he had a cleanliness obsession.

But they didn't know that he felt that even if this spell reached Great Perfection, it still had potential to be tapped.

Just like basic spells like the Fireball Technique, after Great Perfection, they could still be continuously optimized, eventually allowing him to research a "Blazing Sun Technique" that could accumulate power almost infinitely.

Slower than the original Blazing Sun Technique, but the upper limit far exceeded the original.

His hope for the Cleaning Technique was also like this.

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

"Cleaning everything on the body that is not mine, dirt and dust is fine, spiritual power and evil energy is fine, soul marks might not be impossible!"

In his murmurs, Luo Chen remembered the old events at Dahe Market.

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.

Could he also do this?

He himself had this foundation!

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

A spiritual sense mark, isn't it a variant of a soul restriction?

Under his careful operation.

His hands trembled slightly.

A Cleaning Technique was cast on the flame mark between his brows.

In an instant.

Luo Chen's body paused!

Within his golden sea of consciousness, ripples suddenly arose.

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 Technique, Luo Chen looked at his brow again.

That lifelike flame mark, which had faded a bit after the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger was cast.

Now the overall color had dimmed a bit more!

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

"Sure enough, it's feasible!"

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

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

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

After all, the one 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 waiting for the half-year period to arrive, and I can lead the team away."

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

"Stop!"

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

"Who are you?"

"Facing Chu Kui of Tiankui seeks an audience, please report to Fellow Daoist Luo Chen."

The Luo Tian Society cultivator on duty at the station looked at the sturdy man in front of him and was stunned.

Facing Chu Kui!

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

He dared not be negligent and immediately went back to report.

Inside the stone house.

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

What is he here for?

He knew about Facing Chu Kui's news.

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

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

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

Therefore, Luo Chen had basically not encountered him in the few months he had been on the Golden Sand Floating Island.

"After the four sects brought out the Core Formation secret techniques, Facing Chu Kui must be extremely moved. He is not in a hurry to earn merits on the battlefield, but ran to find me in no hurry?"

"Interesting!"

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

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

Before long.

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

He took off his bamboo hat.

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

"President Luo, any interest in doing something big!"
