Chapter 378: Core Formation Takes Action, War Puppets

The time is ripe!

It was not an empty word.

With the arrival of the Luoyun Sect's magic treasure flying boat, the entire Golden Sand Floating Island seemed to come alive.

True disciples of the Luoyun Sect with imposing auras frequently appeared on the Golden Sand Floating Island.

The elites of the other three sects also began to sharpen their weapons.

The subordinate forces under the four sects, as well as many loose cultivators, were also eager to try, preparing to show their skills in the upcoming great battle.

In the past, the free trading gathering was held only once a month, but now it was being held every day.

For the upcoming counterattack of the four-sect alliance, everyone was trying their best to enrich and improve their combat methods.

And in this situation.

Luo Chen instead became increasingly reclusive.

Chu Kui was very curious about what he was doing, but did not pursue the question.

Since Luo Chen said it was half a month, it was half a month.

Anyway, there were only four or five days left.

Inside the stone house.

As Luo Chen cast the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger and Cleaning Technique once again.

A water drop, thin to the point of being almost non-existent, dripped onto the ground.

That was not a water drop, but the last trace of the source of the flame mark.

Luo Chen did not hesitate, summoned the water mirror.

Looking at it.

The handsome face in the mirror revealed a smile.

Between his brows, there was no longer the lifelike flame mark, it was clean, as if it were the beginning!

Success!

It was just a method cast by a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all.

Combining the wisdom of Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, wanting to solve it was not difficult.

At this moment, the chronic illness was gone.

Next, he could travel light.

His ears vibrated slightly, and Luo Chen casually withdrew the Water Mirror Technique.

Just at this moment, footsteps came from the door.

"President, a Luoyun Sect disciple has come to visit!"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

He thought it was a notification for the Luo Tian Society to prepare for rotation, but he didn't expect it to be someone from the Luoyun Sect.

"Is it Tianxingzi?"

"No."

"Hmm?"

"The visitor calls himself Qin Yuanjiang!"

Luo Chen was stunned, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"Who?"

"He said his name is Qin Yuanjiang, his cultivation is Foundation Establishment stage, and he specifically came to visit you, President."

Hearing this name, Luo Chen was a bit dazed.

Qin Yuanjiang?

Luo Chen carefully sized up the young man in front of him.

His height was similar to his, and a black tight-fitting shirt was extremely form-fitting, making him look very spirited overall.

The long, narrow corners of his eyes and thin lips were very much like his mother, Murong Qinglian.

Such facial contours should have looked feminine.

But instead, he had a high-bridged nose, which instantly brought the overall temperament to another category.

Heroic without losing hardness, lively and spirited.

A pair of eyes revealed curiosity about all things in the world and a vigorous spirit.

It was a fledgling tiger!

No wonder Qin Liangchen gave him the nickname "Qin Qin Xiaohu" back then.

It's just that this realm...

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

While he was sizing up Qin Yuanjiang, Qin Yuanjiang was also sizing him up.

The first impression was—so young!

Is this the master of the Luo Tian Society that Mother mentioned repeatedly in her letters?

Clearly, he didn't look much older than himself, yet he could do so many things, making his parents admire and worship him so much?

It was even said that when he proposed to take his parents to settle in Qianlan Xiancheng, they refused, repeatedly stating that they wanted to follow this person!

What charm does he have, and what ability does he have?

Looking at his cultivation realm, it doesn't seem like much!

About the same as those ordinary senior brothers in the sect, looking like mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Is it just because of his outstanding alchemy technique?

Can such a person really rise among loose cultivators, become famous in the Green Pill Valley, be favored by the Bingbao, be personally recruited by an Elder of the Ailao Mountain, and even be heard of in his Luoyun Sect?

While he was puzzled.

Luo Chen smiled and opened his mouth: "Qin Qin Xiaohu, you have actually established your foundation. If this good news were sent back, your parents would surely be very happy. I don't know what you came to find me for?"

Parents would be happy, that is certain.

Parents have always been proud of him.

However, hearing his nickname from the mouth of a man who looked about the same age as himself, Qin Yuanjiang's face was still unnatural.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed and said: "Fellow Daoist Luo, I heard before that my father came to the battlefield, and even specifically went to the Luoyun Sect side to look for me, so I came to see."

Fellow Daoist Luo?

Luo Chen's face stiffened!

I am brothers with your father, and call your mother "Sister-in-law," and you call me "Fellow Daoist" here?

Not saying "Uncle Luo," at least there should be a "Brother Daoist," or call me by my Daoist name to show respect!

However, on the surface, Luo Chen's demeanor as an elder was still maintained very well.

He smiled: "Your father has already been sent back by me, counting the time, he should have already arrived at Tianlan Xiancheng."

Qin Yuanjiang nodded.

In his eyes, there was both disappointment and joy.

Disappointed not to see his father, happy that the other party was still alive and did not have to participate in the upcoming battle.

Up to here, the purpose of the visit had been stated, and the matter had been clarified.

Next, it seemed there was nothing to say.

According to reason, the two sides had a certain origin.

Especially since Qin Yuanjiang's parents worked under Luo Chen, asking about his parents' situation was human nature.

But there was a very awkward situation: when Luo Chen and the Qin Liangchen couple met, Qin Yuanjiang had already entered the Luoyun Sect mountain gate.

There was no intersection between the two.

If he wanted to ask, it would be asking from the posture of a junior, but the ages of the two were actually not much different.

Foundation Establishment realm, ten or twenty years old, is not a gap at all.

In the awkwardness, Qin Yuanjiang stood up to say goodbye.

Luo Chen looked at him, frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth:

"You just established your foundation not long ago, right?"

Qin Yuanjiang paused, and said with a bit of pride: "Established foundation three months ago!"

At his age of thirty or so, establishing foundation so early, he could indeed be proud.

But!

"Although this realm is not bad, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and mid-stage and late-stage cultivators are everywhere. Your sect actually sent you out, is this not a bit inappropriate?"

Hearing Luo Chen question the sect's decision, Qin Yuanjiang's face sank slightly.

Luo Chen knew that his words were a bit abrupt, and even a bit offensive.

But after all, he was the son of a friend, and letting him say nothing was not his style of doing things.

"Not just me, all of us junior disciples who successfully established foundations have participated in the war!"

Qin Yuanjiang snorted coldly, looking unwilling to be outdone.

"Moreover, doing things for the sect is our due responsibility!"

"If I can make a contribution in this war, I can obtain the status and treatment of a true disciple with the realm of early-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, don't underestimate me!"

In his words, there was a proud tone of "today I am proud of the sect, tomorrow the sect will be proud of me."

He was also quite confident in his own strength.

Luo Chen was helpless.

Maybe this is the arrogance among grand sect disciples!

Of course, you can change the word to cohesion.

Whatever the sect lets them do, they have no doubts, and even do their best.

This also has to do with these cultivators growing up in the sect since childhood; the corresponding interpersonal relationships and the resources needed for cultivation are all within those mountain peaks.

Over time, they twisted into a rope.

It's just that war is ruthless, swords have no eyes, and these things are really of no use to individuals.

He had already reminded him, saying more would be impolite.

Sighing, Luo Chen nodded.

"Wish you an early promotion to true disciple!"

Qin Yuanjiang was a bit unhappy, he heard the contempt for his ability in Luo Chen's words.

He was about to flick his sleeves and leave on the spot.

However, before leaving, his footsteps paused.

"You are right, no one can ensure their own safety on the battlefield. The Bingbao thinks highly of you, so it's better not to participate in the following war."

After speaking, he walked away.

Behind him, Luo Chen laughed dumbly.

This kid!

I don't know if he looks down on him or cares about him, but he said such a thing before leaving.

This personality is a bit twisted.

Neither like Qin Liangchen nor like Murong Qinglian, but it feels like a combination of the parents' personalities.

Walking out of the stone house.

In his ears was Chu Kui's teasing voice.

"Young people nowadays, one by one, their eyes are higher than the top, and they don't even look at us seniors!"

Luo Chen smiled, "After all, they are high disciples of a grand sect, even if the realm is lower, they have their own arrogance."

Chu Kui said "Hmm."

This is why he doesn't want to deal with sect disciples.

One by one, their nostrils are facing the sky, and they look down on everyone.

He would rather sit down with Luo Chen and haggle over every spirit stone.

"When did you come?"

"Just about the same time as that Qin kid, I heard that the Luoyun Sect had come, and thought it was to urge us to go to the Nine Accumulated Thunder Mountains, so I came over to wait for news."

"You are a bit impatient!"

"No way, if I go late, I'm afraid I won't even get porridge."

Luo Chen shook his head.

"Don't worry, people can't be killed off, the most lacking thing in the cultivation world is bottom-level cultivators."

To this statement, Chu Kui deeply agreed!

People, indeed, cannot be killed off!

Above the ten-thousand-mile yellow sand, streaks of light flew toward the Sixth Mountain.

In terms of quantity, it was even double what it was last time!

You must know that this war has been going on for many years.

The number of cultivators participating has not decreased, but has become more and more.

Or rather, more and more people are participating.

Those loose cultivators hiding in corners, family cultivators with little lifespan left waiting to die at home, all couldn't hold back in the face of the huge benefits given by the four-sect alliance.

Just like Luo Chen and Chu Kui, they are one of them.

Among the crowd, Luo Chen looked up, and four figures were high above, clearly in sight.

Yin Yue of the Bingbao, Ju'an Master of Ailao Mountain, Elder Long of the Green Pill Valley, and Linghu Jie, the Core Formation master leading the Luoyun Sect this time!

These four are all masters of one side presiding over the affairs of each sect on the Golden Sand Floating Island.

Now they have taken action collectively.

It can be seen that they are determined to win this battle.

Looking at Elder Linghu of the Luoyun Sect, Luo Chen's eyelids jumped.

He felt a sense of familiarity from this person.

But he had never seen the other party, why would he have this feeling?

"The Core Formation master who designed the ambush and killing of Pang Renxiong at Dahe Market?"

Inexplicably, a figure shrouded in a black robe jumped into his mind.

The more he looked, the more it looked like!

Especially, Tianxingzi was following closely behind him.

It further confirmed that he was likely the culprit of the Dahe Ghost City.

"Luo Chen, what do we do next?" Chu Kui asked beside him.

Luo Chen said lightly: "Don't rush, I'll settle these people of the Luo Tian Society first."

"Hmm, I'll listen to you."

Although he said so.

But when Chu Kui saw Luo Chen leave Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng behind the Sixth Mountain, a thick look of confusion appeared on his face.

"In this battle, you aren't bringing these two helpers?"

"The two of us are enough, having them doesn't add much, and without them, it doesn't hinder anything." Luo Chen settled everyone down, turned his head, and said calmly: "Moreover, if they can't keep up with our battle rhythm, having a few more people is more likely to become a burden, don't you think!"

Chu Kui was speechless for a moment.

The logic is indeed like this.

But it seems a bit different from what he had envisioned before.

Shouldn't he use the power of all the cultivators of the Luo Tian Society to hunt down as many enemies of the Sword Sect alliance as possible?

Looking at Luo Chen's earnest appearance of instructing Xu Huanzhen.

Chu Kui secretly thought: "A bit of womanly benevolence."

However, soon, when he saw Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng desperately applying to fight with Luo Chen, he shook his head.

Isn't this "womanly benevolence" of his what he was looking for when he sought Luo Chen for cooperation!

The horn of the four-sect alliance's counterattack had already been blown half a month ago.

It's just

The Luoyun Sect can use a fourth-tier grand formation to exert the effect of a third-tier one.

The Sword Sect Alliance side can naturally do the same.

It can even be said that they have deployed a complete, large-scale third-tier defensive formation on the Seventh Mountain!

Although it is not fourth-tier, it can fully exert the effect of a third-tier defensive formation.

Unless a Core Formation cultivator makes a move, it is extremely difficult to break.

With the help of the terrain and the formation, ordinary Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators simply cannot break the Seventh Mountain's defense.

Therefore.

Over the past half-month, the several Core Formation cultivators of the Four Sects stationed at the Sixth Mountain began to make moves one after another.

It took half a month to finally shake that defensive grand formation.

This rotation of troops, in fact, was not a rotation at all.

The cultivators who came from the Golden Sand Floating Island merged with the original cultivators of the Sixth Mountain, forming an army of over thirty thousand cultivators.

Most of them were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

The core main force, however, was that group of over two thousand true Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Under the dark, gloomy night sky.

Seven rays of light suddenly appeared outside the Seventh Mountain.

Some were chillingly icy, some were towering seals, others were flying swords crisscrossing, or flower baskets unfurling...

Almost the moment the seven rays of light appeared, four vast surges of magic power erupted from the Seventh Mountain.

A sharp shout even exploded in the air.

"You all have gone too far!"

Regarding these words, the Four Sects Alliance side turned a deaf ear.

The behemoth, a hundred zhang long, was awe-inspiring to look at.

"A magic treasure-level flying boat!"

"This is a great figure from the Luoyun Sect personally taking action, only then would there be such a formation!"

Amidst the discussions, Chu Kui had quietly stood by Luo Chen's side.

"On this magic treasure flying boat, there must be battle puppets with magnificent might."

"Luo Chen, the time is ripe!"

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 378 =====

It was also at this moment that Linghu Jie of the Luoyun Sect stepped out from the crowd.

"Disciples of my sect, prepare!"

As soon as the words fell, war puppets, pitch-black in color and exuding a threatening aura, appeared behind him.

Cold and ferocious.

Behind each puppet stood a true Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Luoyun Sect, their expressions filled with excitement.

They controlled their own puppets, and bright white rays of light emanated from the puppets' wide-open mouths.

"Fire!"

Linghu Jie waved his large sleeve.

The next moment, behind him, hundreds of beams of light lit up instantly, roaring like thunder as they shot toward the Seventh Mountain.

In an instant, the night sky was directly illuminated.

This offensive was actually no less powerful than the previous move by the seven Core Formation cultivators.

The air tore apart, and angry thunder roared.

When that vast attack descended, it reflected the panicked and fearful faces of countless cultivators on the Seventh Mountain.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless explosions rang out simultaneously.

In just a flash, it disrupted the combat formation that the Sword Sect Alliance had gained by using the defensive formation to stall for time.

Wails, shouts, and sounds of panicked running echoed throughout the Seventh Mountain.

Linghu Jie watched this scene with satisfaction, then waved his hand again.

"Everyone, kill!"
