Chapter 389: Returning to the Tianlan Xiancheng

Above the ten thousand miles of yellow sand.

A figure walked alone.

Carrying an iron sword on his back, his face was old.

If someone familiar saw him, they would definitely think he was Zuo Song, the Sect Master of the Iron Sword Hall in Tianlan Xiancheng.

Only the Netherworld Two Fiends and the Four Elders of Liancang might know that Zuo Song had long since died inside the Soul Transformation ruins.

Luo Chen didn't know yet that after he left, the Luoyun Sect had already planned to seal the Soul Transformation ruins.

At this moment, he was recalling the battle that had just happened, and had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

A movement speed far exceeding that of early-stage Core Formation cultivators, a body powerful enough to resist ordinary attacks from magic treasures, and thick blood Qi.

With the blessing of these three, it provided him with extremely terrifying high burst power for close-quarters combat!

The so-called strongest False Core cultivator in Foundation Establishment, he could also kill easily!

As for facing Core Formation cultivators, he still didn't have much confidence.

But thinking about it, perhaps he could struggle to fight?

"Such a powerful physique must be utilized well. And I don't know many killing moves for body-refining, only the very low-level Mountain-Splitting Monument-Breaking Palm and the Heaven-Peng Divine Claw recorded in the 'Heaven-Peng Transformation'."

"After going back, I must discuss it thoroughly with Wang Yuan; he will definitely be able to provide me with enough suggestions."

In the battle just now, he tried using the Heaven-Peng Divine Claw.

Under high burst, it was indeed very strong.

It could even pull defensive magic treasures.

But ultimately, the distance was too close.

Unless Luo Chen changed his body shape, turning into a demon-like transformation, making his body huge and expanding his attack range.

But if that happened, it would inevitably increase the enemy's attack range.

There were pros and cons, and he couldn't choose for now.

"Han Zheng shouldn't be dead; their Han family has Substitute Puppets, I saw one at the Dahe Market back then."

On the Dahe Market's Dao-Discussion Platform, two gangs fought a bloody battle.

Gao Tingyuan of the Dajiang Gang once had a Substitute Puppet, but unfortunately, it was wasted on the Dao-Discussion Platform.

That thing was truly a good item.

But in the entire Yuding Region, only the Han family of the Luoyun Sect could refine them.

Thinking of the Dahe Market, Luo Chen thought of Xu Ji, and the humanoid puppet in his storage bag.

At this moment, a trace of pleasure appeared on Luo Chen's face!

If Tian Xingzi hadn't unintentionally revealed the past events, he would have almost been deceived by Xu Ji.

Tian Xingzi really hadn't broken his promise back then!

He had really collected three Foundation Establishment Pills for him!

However, Xu Ji, who went to the appointment, only gave him two Foundation Establishment Pills, secretly withholding one himself!

If he hadn't refined three portions of Emperor Flowing Liquid, he would have failed to establish his Foundation and fallen short of success.

This was the hatred of blocking the Dao.

If there was a chance before, he would definitely repay the other party well.

As for whether the fake-dead Han Zheng would discover it or report it, he didn't care at all.

When he attacked, he hid his face, and his means weren't the fire techniques he was most proficient in.

It could be said that he didn't leave any traces at all.

The only thing that might expose him was the Fierce Cloud Wings.

But this object was an illusory thing derived from a magic tool, and he was driving it with blood Qi at the time.

Han Zheng, who was feigning death with his eyes closed, couldn't have noticed.

The Blood Demon knew his identity, but unfortunately, he was already dead.

However, Luo Chen was truly incomparably surprised by the Blood Demon's true identity.

After he killed the other party, his pair of spiritual eyes saw through the other party's disguise, and it was actually Xuan Yu of Taoshan, which was truly somewhat unexpected.

Although the other party's status couldn't be considered noble, he at least relied on the Peach Blossom Ancestor, and he himself was a False Core cultivator, with a Taoshan money-making cave to collect wealth for him, why would he do these demonic acts?

And he didn't see any signs of Xuan Yu's sanity being abnormal?

"These things have nothing to do with me."

"Go back to Tianlan Xiancheng first, recover spiritual power, and then make plans!"

Luo Chen made a decision quickly.

However, when he passed within a thousand miles of the Golden Sand Floating Island, his heart suddenly moved.

He took out several jade slips, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

They were all sound transmissions!

There were from Duan Feng, Xu Huanzhen, and Chu Kui.

Strangely, there were even sound transmissions from Wang Yuan and Min Longyu.

The first three sound transmissions weren't strange; when he entered the Soul Transformation ruins, they were still on the battlefield.

It was normal for them to worry about him and send sound transmissions.

But the latter two should be on the side of Tianlan Xiancheng, right?

He opened the jade slips, and sound transmissions entered his ears one by one.

After listening, a warm current couldn't help but surge in his heart, and a bit of faint emotion flowed in his heart.

"Actually rushed over from thousands of miles away to rescue me."

"Forget it, let's make an appointment to meet first!"

Immediately, he sent sound transmissions to Wang, Chu, and Min.

Outside the ten thousand miles of yellow sand, in a lush green forest.

Three figures tore through the sky, rushing over like lightning.

As soon as they landed, the three of them spread their spiritual sense.

But before they could find the target, a white figure stepped out leisurely from a large tree.

"Gentlemen, long time no see!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his cold and thin cheeks showing a bit more softness.

"President, you are indeed still alive!"

Min Longyu rushed over excitedly.

Seeing him so excited, looking like he wanted to hug, Luo Chen reached out his hand hurriedly.

"Stop, if Caiyi were here, I wouldn't mind a hug."

Min Longyu stopped his steps and couldn't help but smile sheepishly.

Luo Chen patted his shoulder, "That formation of yours is great!"

Min Longyu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "I have a better formation now, President, do you want it?"

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, "Set up a concealment formation first, so as not to be discovered by passersby."

"Right away!"

Min Longyu immediately took out an incomparably complete formation disk and got busy around them.

That magic treasure formation disk, if there were no accidents, was the treasure of Yang Wei who once set up the Thunder Prison Great Formation trying to suppress Wang Yuan!

He let Wang Yuan take it back, and in over a year, Min Longyu seemed to have mastered a part of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to boast just now.

"I knew you kid wouldn't die!"

Chu Kui laughed.

Luo Chen bowed to him, "Back then, Brother Chu covered my retreat, resisting Core Formation cultivators with a Foundation Establishment body; I will keep this kindness in my heart!"

Chu Kui waved his large hand!

"Why say these things!"

"I am a person who definitely does things after taking money, but if I give a promise, even if there is no money, I will do it correctly!"

Luo Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

These things, just keep them in mind.

Finally, Wang Yuan walked to Luo Chen and punched him heavily in the chest.

"This battle, you fought it for me!"

A simple sentence, everything that followed was left unsaid.

Indeed, if it weren't to rescue Wang Yuan, Luo Chen wouldn't have killed Yan Leizi and offended Di Wanyun.

One drink and one peck, it is determined by heaven.

Although Luo Chen suffered a big loss, he also gained a little in the ruins, so he didn't lose anything.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Wang Yuan looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

He subconsciously stretched out his finger, actually wanting to touch Luo Chen's body.

"Don't!"

Luo Chen pushed his hand away, "Brother, don't, your eyes, your gestures, it's a bit mushy!"

Wang Yuan shook his head, staring at Luo Chen in incomparable amazement.

"Your body..."

"Let's talk about it after going back!"

Luo Chen interrupted his words, and then taking advantage of the concealment formation being deployed, he shook out the ownerless magic tools and magic treasures from his storage bag one by one.

Only Chu Kui understood his meaning with such strange actions.

"Actually, there is no need to take these to register for merit; the matter of you killing Di Wanyun is known to the Four Sects Alliance, and there is already a merit value of ten thousand on the merit list."

"Enough for us to exchange for the Upper Method Core Formation Secret Technique."

Killing a Core Formation, only ten thousand?

Truly cheap!

Luo Chen opened his mouth, "Ten thousand is not enough, I need to exchange for the Lower Method Core Formation Secret Techniques of Ailao Mountain and Qingdan Valley as well."

"But this still exceeds it, right!" Chu Kui was puzzled, "I joined hands with you to kill eight or nine thousand merit values back then, and exchanging those two Core Formation Secret Techniques only required four thousand merit."

Luo Chen nodded, changed the subject and said: "Lower Method Secret Techniques mostly require external objects. For example, the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation requires Dragon-Transformation Pills and Ice-Phoenix Pills as assistance. The other two sects are probably not much different. Use the extra merit values to exchange for corresponding auxiliary external objects. If there are none, then exchange them all for Foundation Establishment Pills, and cultivation resources needed for late-stage Foundation Establishment."

Speaking of this, he laughed heartily.

"Don't waste it if you don't use it!"

"This war, because of the opening of the Soul Transformation ruins, is afraid it's going to end."

"Let's make one last profit, this trip won't be in vain."

Chu Kui suddenly realized!

He really forgot about this.

And, exchanging for Foundation Establishment Pills and such things, in his opinion, was completely unnecessary.

But Luo Chen, standing at the height of the Master of the Luotian Society, would definitely not let it go.

Chu Kui's merit had already been registered, and at this moment, counting Luo Chen's side, after a rough calculation, the merit values of the two sides combined had already reached nine thousand.

For this number, Chu Kui sighed endlessly.

"If Di Wanyun hadn't intervened, the two of us could have gathered the required merit values back then."

"Don't sigh, go quickly and return quickly, we are waiting for you here!"

"Then I'll go first!"

"Remember to be low-key, don't be ostentatious." Luo Chen was not very reassured and specifically exhorted.

"I know, after all, three Core Formation Secret Techniques are always easy to attract covetousness!"

Chu Kui smiled slightly, collected the pile of vouchers needed for merit statistics, and then leaped away.

After he left.

Luo Chen simply asked about the situation of the Luotian Society.

Learning that the Luotian Society was safe and sound made him feel relieved.

However, the fact that Fairy Jueqing personally entered the Soul Transformation ruins to look for him back then was truly somewhat beyond Luo Chen's expectations.

That woman, in her fickle mood, really valued him quite a bit.

Vaguely remembering, when he triggered the Violent Thunder Raging Waves Great Formation, she rushed to the scene from thousands of miles away.

"After going back, I'm afraid I have to meet her."

For dealing with Core Formation cultivators, Luo Chen had no fear now.

Previously, he relied on the status and position brought by alchemy, so his words were a bit empty.

But now, with his strength surging, he had a bit more confidence, and naturally, he could be more composed.

Finally, Luo Chen brought up the matter of the Blood Demon.

"Taoshan Xuan Yu?" Wang Yuan was somewhat stunned.

Luo Chen nodded, "It is indeed him, I also don't know why he would do these things."

Wang Yuan frowned, "Maybe it's to practice some evil technique, that's why he collected so much essence blood from Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

Luo Chen said "En".

He also had this guess, which was the same principle as when Wang Yuan secretly collected a large amount of essence blood from Qi Refining cultivators in the Core Formation ruins of the Guyuan Mountain Range back then.

It was definitely not a personal preference.

There must be a purpose, and evil technique alchemy was the best explanation.

"It's a pity, I got a defensive magic treasure from him, but now it's not easy to display it in front of the world at will."

Xuan Yu—the favorite of the Peach Blossom Ancestor!

Precious things like defensive magic treasures, unless refined by an alchemist himself, generally Foundation Establishment True Persons really couldn't possess them.

Even Chu Kui used only a broken defensive magic treasure before.

It was destroyed under Di Wanyun.

The origin of this red silk defensive magic treasure was very likely personally bestowed by the Peach Blossom Ancestor.

The time Xuan Yu got it definitely wouldn't be very long either.

Otherwise, when fighting at that time, it wouldn't have been easily pulled open by Luo Chen with giant force to reveal a flaw.

This situation could only be explained by the degree of refinement being insufficient.

Wang Yuan comforted: "It's just a magic treasure. In this battle, the magic treasures you and Chu Kui collected are in the dozens! Among them, there is no lack of excellent and fine ones, why worry about this single one."

Very true!

In this war in the Nine Mountains of Accumulated Thunder, Luo Chen only suffered a big loss with Di Wanyun.

But if you look at the overall situation, he ultimately made a huge profit!

So many legacies of Foundation Establishment True Persons, among which there was no lack of savings of late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivators.

Now they were all gathered on him, whether he used them himself or distributed them to the Luotian Society cultivators, it was more than enough.

Even, many first-class forces were estimated to be unable to gather so many magic treasures!

"Wait for Chu Kui to exchange for Core Formation Secret Techniques and a large amount of Foundation Establishment Pills, plus these massive resources. The prosperity of the Luotian Society is already a matter of days!"

Rarely, Wang Yuan looked forward to the future of the Luotian Society.

The rise and fall of a force involves many aspects.

Overall, it is internal talent and the external environment.

Internally, the foundation of the Luotian Society is still okay.

And the current external environment, under the baptism of war, has created a huge vacuum of mid-level forces in the Yuding Region.

It is precisely the opportunity for the Luotian Society to rise!

While chatting about this, Min Longyu, who was presiding over the formation, suddenly spoke.

"Elder Chu is back!"

This fast?

Or was it that the Four Sects Alliance had long been prepared for the Luotian Society cultivators to go and exchange for resources?

Luo Chen raised his head, and across hundreds of miles, he saw Chu Kui's figure.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.

High in the sky, Chu Kui was making a special gesture, grabbing and releasing, clenching into a fist, repeating three times like this.

This gesture, Luo Chen was not unfamiliar with.

Before, when he joined hands with Chu Kui, there were some agreed-upon gestures.

Now this set of actions meant that there was someone pursuing behind, preparing to counterattack.

"It seems someone really has their eyes on him!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and transmitted his voice to Wang Yuan in curiosity.

Before long, Chu Kui crossed hundreds of miles and flew above the forest.

Arriving above the concealment formation, he didn't stop at all and continued to fly forward.

Ten miles behind him, faint spiritual energy fluctuations flickered.

That spiritual energy fluctuation, when it was about to cross above the dense forest, suddenly paused, as if it had received some invisible attack.

Three figures were broken and revealed.

"Be careful!"

A sharp female voice was issued.

Opposite it was a faint sound of killing.

"Too late!"

The next moment, four giant earth-yellow walls rose from the ground with a rumble, completely surrounding all four directions.

Two figures soared into the sky, one with white light flickering like lightning, one with vigorous blood Qi like an angry dragon.

The faces of the three people following changed drastically, and they all flew toward the sky together.

However, I don't know when, Chu Kui had already returned.

A giant stick shadow that covered the sky and the sun smashed down with a boom.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Just one exchange, and the offense and defense changed.

A middle-aged man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, unwilling to die; his heart was held in the center of Luo Chen's white claws.

And another old man had two holes in his body, almost piercing his heart.

The last beautiful and gorgeous woman was the most disheveled, with disheveled hair and vomiting blood; she had forcibly taken a blow from Chu Kui.

Not dead, it could be considered she had quite a few means.

However, in the blink of an eye, one died and two were seriously injured, still making those two like frightened birds, incomparably panicked.

They were three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators joining hands!

Even on the battlefield back then, they had never suffered such a big loss.

That white light, one flash killed the strongest big man among them; this was something no one expected.

For a time, everyone's gaze fell on Luo Chen.

Chirp!

A burst of fire appeared, burning the heart held in his hand to ashes.

Luo Chen smiled and looked at the two people.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, long time no see, how did you fall to the point of doing such lowly things as being a robbery cultivator?"

Persist! Work hard! Try to ensure no interruption in updates!

Brothers who have monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, you can vote.

I didn't have a stockpile before, so I didn't have the confidence to beg for votes, fearing that I would stop updating one day. I've gotten used to it these past few days, and my skin has become slightly thicker, so I'm begging a little bit.
