Chapter 407: The Matter Here is Finished, Luo Chen Has No Regrets

"Fellow Daoist Kang, it has been many years since we last met, your style is even better than before!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Luo, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation. I knew you were not a thing in a pond; Dahefang couldn't trap you, and neither could this Tianlan Xiancheng!"

In the main hall of Luo Tian, two men were talking happily.

"This time, I troubled you." Luo Chen thanked him sincerely.

The situation the Luo Tian Society faced at that time was not just the threat from the Yan Alliance's vassals and Qin Tairan.

Those countless loose cultivators watching were seemingly just onlookers eating melons and watching the show.

But if the Luo Tian Society had really collapsed, they would have been vultures rushing over crazily.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it; there is nothing more like this!

Kang Dongyue's small operations outside seemed irrelevant to the overall situation, but they could save the Luo Tian Society a lot of trouble.

Regarding this, Kang Dongyue did not claim credit.

"Just some small tricks of verbal bewitchment, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

He smiled and mentioned the time Luo Chen auctioned a life-saving spirit medicine for him back then.

Luo Chen naturally smiled back.

Afterward, Kang Dongyue stated his true purpose for staying here.

After listening, Luo Chen's expression was calm.

"Liuguang Workshop?"

Kang Dongyue said melancholically, "Yes, that Liuguang Workshop has been famous for its many robber cultivators for many years. Over the years, the Bai family of Liuguang Workshop doesn't know where they got a secret technique, and they completely upgraded that piece of spirit land to the Second Tier. A second Foundation Establishment cultivator appeared in the clan, and they recruited another Foundation Establishment guest cultivator from outside. Now, they are the absolute overlords of Liuguang Workshop."

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

Kang Dongyue continued, "If it were just the prosperity of the family, that would be fine, but they blocked the business route of my Kang family to Tianlan."

"You are vassals of the Sword Sect, do they dare to have designs on your caravan?" Luo Chen was puzzled.

Kang Dongyue shook his head, "It's too far, the Sword Sect is too far from our Taishanfang. The Bai family's robber nature hasn't changed; after changing their appearance, even if they did robbery, we have no evidence."

Luo Chen understood the other party's thoughts, "So, you want to borrow the hand of my Luo Tian Society to deal with the Bai family?"

"Yes!"

Kang Dongyue did not mince words and said directly.

Luo Chen pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly, "We can help with this matter, but..."

Speaking of this, he sighed.

"I think you also know the current situation of my Luo Tian Society. The wounded are everywhere, and the Foundation Establishment True Persons are also injured; I'm afraid it's not suitable for combat outside in the short term."

Kang Dongyue nodded repeatedly, "I know this, I can afford to wait!"

Can afford to wait?

Luo Chen sized up the other party for a while and understood the other party's thoughts.

I'm afraid it's not just wanting to maintain the Kang family's business route, but also eyeing that complete Second-Tier spirit land of the Bai family!

In the past, the Bai family's Second-Tier spirit land was just a pseudo-Second-Tier spirit land barely formed by relying on that huge Yubai tree.

Now, it is the real deal.

The Kang family once shared a Second-Tier spirit land with the Huo family.

But the Three-Foot Swallowing River Toad destroyed the Huo family back then, which also caused the Second-Tier spirit land of Taishanfang to be destroyed.

They are planning to change their family residence!

This kind of thing is nothing for the current Luo Tian Society, just two or three Foundation Establishment True Persons.

But for the Kang family, it is a top priority involving the rise and fall of a clan.

No wonder the other party stayed in Danxia for a long time and insisted on seeing him.

Luo Chen also remembered that six or seven years ago, the Kang family invited the Luo Tian Society many times to establish a branch in Taishanfang to target the Bai family.

Now it seems that this matter was planned long ago, not suddenly thought of!

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Wait a few years, after the Luo Tian Society recovers its strength here in Tianlan, I will send someone to make a trip. By then, they will cooperate with your Kang family."

Speaking of this, Luo Chen suddenly asked, "What about the Yu family?"

Kang Dongyue was stunned, not knowing what Luo Chen meant by mentioning the Yu family.

However, since the other party wanted to ask, he could naturally talk about it.

After learning about the recent situation of the Yu family from Kang Dongyue, Luo Chen nodded slightly.

He had never forgotten which parties participated in the Battle of Gaoling Plain back then.

The Huo family, the Bai family, the Dajiang Gang, the loose cultivator Tushan, and that Yu Rou who drove spirit beasts!

Now the Huo family is gone, the Dajiang Gang is scattered, and Tushan is probably reincarnated.

But for the remaining two enemies, if there is a chance, they must definitely avenge the hatred of that year!

"Talking happily with Fellow Daoist tonight, looking forward to visiting Taishanfang next time."

"Definitely, definitely!"

Kang Dongyue left with a smile.

He had already set the time to leave Tianlan tomorrow and return to his family.

Some people left, but some people wanted to stay!

Not long after, Luo Chen reached a consensus with Xing Zonghan.

The former head of the Xing family of Tiandao Peak, Luo Chen had saved his life and also helped him destroy his enemy, the Ying family of Tianying Peak.

In that battle, Xing Zonghan killed quite happily.

In order to avoid dragging down the Luo Tian Society, he left quietly.

Over the years, he had been searching for a place to practice in seclusion, and even the Jilei Mountain battlefield had not participated.

This time, hearing that the Luo Tian Society was being attacked, he came specifically to help.

After the war ended, he immediately proposed to join the Luo Tian Society!

Regarding this matter, Sima Hui Niang could not decide.

Although the personnel of the Luo Tian Society were all managed by her.

But involving the level of Foundation Establishment True Person, it had to be decided by Luo Chen.

"Fellow Daoist is willing to join my Luo Tian Society and plot the Great Dao together; I naturally welcome it!"

Xing Zonghan smiled, "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you more in the future, President!"

Luo Chen was also full of smiles.

After this battle, the Luo Tian Society suffered heavy losses.

But under the huge losses, there were also huge gains.

Status!

The Luo Tian Society gained status!

It did not come because of him alone, but also because of the strong strength displayed by the Luo Tian Society in this battle.

Because of this status, it could naturally attract many cultivators to join.

The Luo Tian Society of the past could at most attract some Qi Refining cultivators among loose cultivators.

But this time, there was Master Sun of the Sun Medical Hall in front, and Xing Zonghan behind.

And this was just the beginning.

After the Luo Tian Society recovers its full strength, the forces willing to get close to them will only become more and more.

This kind of general trend cannot be formed just by farming and developing, or running businesses.

One must fight a few battles with real swords and guns to leave a deep impression on people, thereby attracting others to join.

Tonight.

The people Luo Chen wanted to see were not just these two.

Qiu Liangyue, representing the lineage of Master Bo Shuang of the Ice Fortress, also helped in the previous battle.

This was the advance goodwill of that mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Yue Chong, the head of the Yue family of Shaohua Mountain.

But it was not friendship, but interest.

Luo Chen handed over a jade slip he obtained from the storage bag of a late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivator of the Sword Sect on the Jilei Mountain battlefield as a reward to the other party.

"Although it is a side-door sword scripture, it can also bring a huge improvement to my Yue family."

"President Luo, thank you for this matter!"

Having obtained that sword scripture, Yue Chong left satisfied.

By this time, the people Luo Chen wanted to see had almost finished.

The sky was gradually brightening.

Luo Chen sat alone in the main hall, his expression tired, closing his eyes for a nap.

For these days, he hadn't rested at all.

Multiple battles, planning and plotting, wandering among Core Formation Masters, treating the wounded, exchanging interests...

If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago.

But he relied on his strong willpower to hold on.

With this rest, the huge fatigue struck like a tide.

When he woke up.

The outside world was once again bright stars and sparse moon.

He looked at the thin blanket draped over him, and his heart felt a little warm.

It had Hui Niang's scent on it.

The other party had come once halfway through, he could feel it.

Lifting the thin blanket, Luo Chen stood up and stretched.

The sound of bones trembling like thunder drums rang out.

The powerful physique once again gave him infinite energy.

Stepping out of the main hall of Luo Tian, a beautiful figure was walking over in a hurry.

"President, you're awake!"

"Hui Niang, walk with me!"

"Mm."

A man and a woman, facing the cool night breeze in the mountains, strolled on the Danxia walkway.

The faint breeze blew away the war and bloodiness that had lingered for many days.

It also smoothed out the agitation in Luo Chen's heart.

The two talked a lot, but it was very brief.

"Is Min Longyu awake?"

"Awake."

"What about Li Yingzhang?"

"Still receiving treatment, but Master Sun said his foundation is very solid, and he will recover quickly."

"As for Murong Qinglian..."

"I know, I will send more people to take care of her."

"Her current state is not very suitable for doing things; arrange a long vacation!"

"The Merit Hall cannot be without a master for a day; I intend to let Wenjie act as the Hall Master."

"Mm, you can handle these personnel appointments in the future. By the way, the ten-year period agreed upon by Xu Huanzhen back then, is it up?"

"It has long passed."

"He didn't mention leaving?"

"He didn't mention it; I think he has already gotten used to the Luo Tian Society."

"Give him an extra 10% of the Spirit Beast Hall's revenue."

"Isn't that too much?"

"Over the years, Xu Huanzhen has been dutiful, and he also lost a white crane for the Luo Tian Society; now the Gold-Crowned Predatory Eagle that was painstakingly cultivated has also died, so we should compensate him."

"Mm, I listen to you."

"Is the spirit stone reserve in the hall bottoming out now?"

"Yes. But you don't have to worry, I have talked to them all. Some channel merchants' payments are owed first, and the downstream payments are settled in advance, so it won't be a problem for a while."

"How long to recover?"

"One year to recover vitality, three years to return to the former peak, give me ten years and the Luo Tian Society will become the richest force in Tianlan Xiancheng!"

"After dealing with the matters here, I might need to practice in seclusion for a while. The time might be one year, or three to five years, it's hard to say."

"Go ahead, I'm here for the matters in the society."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"You're saying this again!"

The footsteps stopped on a cliff.

Luo Chen overlooked the black mountain bottom behind the mountain.

Here is the burial place of the cultivators who died in the Luo Tian Society.

Green hills bury the bones, Luo Tian hero tomb.

Before long, new graves will be added here.

Three days later.

Danxia closed the mountain, not seeing outside guests.

White banners hung high, yellow paper filled the sky.

The sound of suona and gongs, mixed with bursts of crying, appeared quite sad and heavy.

The funeral lasted for a full seven days.

After stopping the coffin for seven days, it was buried on an auspicious day.

Where Danxia back mountain is located, a huge crowd gathered together.

Under Luo Chen's leadership, one coffin after another was buried, and one tombstone after another was erected.

Wang Yuan stood beside a new grave, Zeng Yilong, who had achieved success in body refining, knelt on the ground, calling out in a low voice, "Mother, Mother..."

Zhou Yuanli, who had been busy for a long time, hurried over.

For his good friend Liu Qiang, he poured three cups of wine, inserted a stick of incense, and made a promise.

In the future, he would let one of his sons change his surname to Liu to inherit Liu Qiang's incense.

Su Xiaolin was a loner; dying seemed to have no one's attention.

But in front of his grave, there were quite a few fruits and candles.

Those were all Luo Wang cultivators, silently inserting them.

And for many days, Murong Qinglian, who had been dull and stunned, suddenly burst into tears, holding Qin Liangchen's tombstone and crying endlessly.

The former Merit Hall Master, the so-called demeanor and style, vanished at this moment.

But now, no one mocked.

Because this place was full of such scenes.

Luo Chen had retreated behind the crowd, his face tense, his lips bitten white.

Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi stood on his sides, vaguely able to perceive his body trembling.

Gu Caiyi said softly with concern, "President, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Chen shook his head, still pursing his lips and not speaking.

He suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Regretting whether he should have spared Yan Leizi's life back then, so he wouldn't have provoked Di Wanyun.

Regretting whether he shouldn't have hidden in the dark, and come out earlier to face the pressure of the Yan Alliance's Core Formation.

Regretting whether he was too rash in confirming his relationship with Hui Niang and Caiyi; otherwise, many years later, perhaps the one kneeling and crying in front of the tomb would be himself, or wondering if it was them.

Regretting...

For a long time!

Luo Chen shook his head abruptly.

"How can there be so many regrets!"

"Life is unsatisfactory, eight or nine out of ten."

"In the end, it's all because I'm not strong enough!"

"If I were strong enough, how would the petty dare to invade? If I were strong enough, one person achieves the Dao, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! If I were strong enough, the one kneeling and crying now should be the enemy!"

Crack!

The joints sounded, and then the wide palm let go.

Luo Chen left quietly.

The matter here is finished, the future is still long.

He cannot stop his forward steps.

Not only for himself, but also for those who have placed their lives and families on him.
