Chapter 417

The breeze is gentle, and the white clouds are ethereal.

A flying boat crossed the long sky, starting from Tianlan Xiancheng, and flew rapidly toward the Green Pill Valley.

Crossing the thousand-mile bamboo sea, flying over the Green Pill Market, one mountain peak after another of varying heights came into view.

Luo Chen, in white clothes, stood on the flying boat, letting the clear wind on both sides slap his face, blowing his white clothes and black hair until they hunted and rattled.

Looking at the many small mountains with broken walls and ruins under his feet, he had a few more points of certainty in his heart.

Especially when he arrived outside the Green Pill Valley and looked at that Yuanhua Mountain, which he remembered deeply, and now only half remained, he was even more determined in his heart.

Yuanhua Mountain.

The location of the Green Pill Valley's portal!

Not only is it a place where third-tier spiritual veins gather, but it is also a key peak of the five-peak valley-covering pattern.

But now!

The three-thousand-foot-high peak was cut off at the waist by a sword.

The mountainside became the mountaintop.

At the break, the slanted plane was as smooth as a mirror.

On it, there was still terrifying sword energy remaining.

One can imagine what kind of brilliant and stunning sword strike that True Person Yaoguang slashed out!

Even Luo Chen suspected that it was not the means of a Golden Core True Person at all.

Golden Core True Persons can destroy mountains and break mountains, cut rivers and intercept seas. Even Luo Chen, he has the confidence to rely on his physical strength to forcibly destroy a thousand-foot-high mountain.

But the premise of all this is that the target of the attack is an ownerless object.

Important places like Yuanhua Mountain must be shrouded in large arrays, and there must be Golden Core cultivators of the same tier guarding them.

How could an ordinary Golden Core sword strike easily cut it off?

The only explanation is that True Person Yaoguang, who was in the late Golden Core stage, used the means bestowed by True Person Yuding of the Sword Sect.

Otherwise, with the Green Pill Valley's long-prepared precautions.

As long as True Person Yuding didn't take action personally, even if the Sword Sect mobilized its entire nest, they could hold on for decades.

"Who comes?"

While Luo Chen was observing, Green Pill Valley cultivators had already greeted him.

From far away, they shouted loudly.

Luo Chen took out a token and threw it over.

"Tao Family Guest Elder, Luo Chen!"

That person took the token and looked at Luo Chen with half-belief.

But suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

Approaching, he said hesitantly: "Could it be Senior Alchemist Danchenzi?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, "It is exactly me."

After confirming his identity, this person's expression became somewhat respectful.

"Senior, are you here to visit the Tao family? If so, detour to the south for a while, and you will reach the Little South Mountain where the Tao family is located."

Luo Chen waved his hand with a smile, "That's not it; I have the intention to seek an audience with your sect's Daoist Tao Wan, I wonder if she is free now?"

Seeking an audience with Daoist Tao Wan?

The disciple was startled.

Although Tao Wan is from the Tao family, her main identity is currently the Daoist of the Green Pill Valley.

Luo Chen revealed the other party's identity, so the purpose of seeking the other party might not be related to the Tao family, but to the Green Pill Valley.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "My status is low, and I don't know if the Daoist is free now. I have to ask the Senior to wait a moment, allow me to report."

"That is natural!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

Then, under the guidance of the other party, he descended from the air and went to the foot of Dragon Head Peak.

"Sorry, originally the place to receive guests was the Guest Hall of Yuanhua Mountain. But that side is currently under repair, so I had to temporarily change it to Dragon Head Peak."

"No matter, I don't care about these."

That disciple immediately arranged for someone to send tea and snacks to Luo Chen, and then left Dragon Head Peak, flying toward Qingyun Peak where the Sect Master and Daoist resided.

After he left, Luo Chen's mind stirred.

Walking out of the main hall, he looked into the distance.

With his excellent eyesight, the scene dozens of miles away could be completely taken into his eyes.

On Yuanhua Mountain, countless Green Pill Valley cultivators were busy transporting materials and repairing the foundation.

There were even powerful Foundation Establishment true cultivators personally transporting cut giant stones and filling them into Yuanhua Mountain.

Although they were busy with fire and enthusiasm, many of them had an uncontrollable look of panic on their faces.

Although Luo Chen was not at the scene at the time, he knew what they had experienced back then through many pieces of intelligence.

That stunning sword strike not only cut off Yuanhua Mountain but also the pride of Green Pill Valley cultivators for hundreds of years.

So what if they are great sect disciples?

The enemy is a Nascent Soul upper sect!

In contrast, no matter how rich the Green Pill Valley is, as long as the other party has the intention, they are nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Under these circumstances.

The Green Pill Valley disciples, who were usually arrogant, had their arrogance torn off and became even more panicked and confused than rogue cultivators.

Looking at these Green Pill Valley cultivators with uncertain minds, Luo Chen had some calculations in his heart.

Even when the Luo Tian Society was at its most difficult, there would be people coming forward to control the minds of the people below.

But now, these low-tier Green Pill Valley cultivators are so confused.

It can be seen that the minds of the upper-level figures are not on them.

In other words, there is a greater contradiction accumulating internally.

Did I come just at the right time?

His heart stirred, and he turned his head to look above Dragon Head Peak.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

Just now, a spiritual sense swept over him without much concealment.

It was more like observation and warning.

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

Dragon Head Peak is where the most battle-hardened cultivators of the Green Pill Valley live.

Not arranging guests in Yuanhua Mountain can be justified by the fact that Yuanhua Mountain is under repair.

But they should also be arranged in Qingyun Peak, which has many miscellaneous affairs!

But they arranged him on Dragon Head Peak, where there are the most battle cultivators.

It is not aimed at Luo Chen alone, but at all the guests visiting the Green Pill Valley recently.

"This Green Pill Valley now is just like a frightened bird!"

Unknowingly, the corners of Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly.

……

Qingyun Peak, Qingyun Hall.

Except for a few who were in seclusion, all the Golden Core True Persons of the Green Pill Valley gathered in the hall.

The masters of the five peaks, Qing Danzi, Qing Yunzi, Dragon Head True Person, Bai Su True Person, and Yuan Zhen True Person, each occupied the main seat.

There were also True Person Chi Ding, True Person Xing Yun, Long Quan, and a group of other Green Pill Valley Golden Core cultivators.

Here, the only Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator was the Daoist Tao Wan of this generation.

She stood respectfully behind the Sect Master Qing Yunzi, listening to the arguments of the sect elders in the hall; although her expression was calm, her heart was quite irritable.

Argue, argue, argue!

Since the Sword Sect besieged the mountain, these elders have been arguing endlessly.

Until now, they haven't come up with a solution.

Some said to hand over the Nascent Soul Formation pill formula, but were rejected by Qing Danzi on the grounds of the restrictions of the alliance with the Luo Yun Sect.

Some said to ask the Luo Yun Sect to come forward, but the Sect Master Qing Yunzi said directly that the situation is sensitive now, and if they completely lean toward the other party, it is highly likely to provoke the Sword Sect to kill their way to the door again.

Some mentioned the sect's vassals, whose hearts were unstable and restless, but Dragon Head Peak True Person said directly, "Do they dare?"

Some also said to seek an explanation from the Yuding Sword Sect based on the five-hundred-year alliance.

But among the many Golden Cores in the hall, not one dared to go to Yuhuang Mountain.

Only the proposal to repair Yuanhua Mountain and rebuild the five-peak valley-covering pattern was recognized by everyone.

But the terrifying sword intent remaining on Yuanhua Mountain became a major obstacle to repairing the spiritual mountain.

Unless they invited a Nascent Soul true cultivator of the same level, they wouldn't be able to remove that strand of terrifying sword intent within a hundred years.

In this way, the five-peak valley-covering pattern would never be able to recover within a hundred years.

And after a hundred years, the inner valley pattern would be fixed, and I'm afraid it would never be able to advance to a fourth-tier spiritual land in this life.

Just when Tao Wan felt annoyed, her heart suddenly stirred.

A jade pendant fell into her hand, flashing with light.

"Sect Master Uncle, there is an urgent matter outside seeking me."

Qing Yunzi glanced at her and nodded indifferently.

Tao Wan stepped on her toes and quietly went out from the back of the Qingyun Hall.

After exiting this Sect Master Main Hall, facing the mountain breeze, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

No matter how busy or busy the affairs were in the past, she had never felt this way.

Hesitating and indecisive.

The entire sect was like a donkey without a rein, not knowing where to go.

Although it was still spinning in place, it actually did nothing.

This feeling... is very uncomfortable!

Shaking her head, she activated the jade pendant.

"Daoist, Senior Alchemist Danchenzi has an urgent matter seeking you, and the disciple has already arranged him in the Guest Hall at the foot of Dragon Head Peak."

Tao Wan frowned, "Luo Chen?"

Why is the other party looking for her at this time?

Shouldn't he be in Tianlan Xiancheng, properly reorganizing his Luo Tian Society?

Thinking of the Luo Tian Society, Tao Wan felt envious of Luo Chen.

Although it is just a small force.

But small has the benefits of small!

Luo Chen is the founder, and the Luo Tian Society is his one-man show.

Whatever he wants to do, he does.

Unlike the Green Pill Valley, which is large and has many constraints.

She is a dignified Daoist, glorious in front of people, but behind people, she is working like a cow and a horse, so hard.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have fought for this labor-intensive Daoist position."

"Tired like a cow and a horse, far less free and easy than Senior Brother."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, and then rode the clouds down the mountain, heading straight for Dragon Head Peak.

……

Before long, she arrived at her destination.

Before entering the hall, she laughed loudly: "Daoist Luo, have you been well!"

When she stepped into the hall, Luo Chen looked at her with a smile.

"I have been safe and sound, but I don't know if your Daoist position, Daoist Tao, is still sitting securely?"

The smile gradually faded.

Tao Wan looked at him coldly, "What does the Daoist mean by this?"

Luo Chen also faded his smile, his expression solemn.

"It's not what I mean, but that the Green Pill Valley is facing a disaster; if the nest is overturned, there will be no whole eggs, Daoist, as the Daoist of the Green Pill Valley, can you be safe?"

"Alarmist!"

"If I were alarmist, why did you prepare early before?"

"That preparation was for the Luo Yun Sect, and I haven't seen the Luo Yun Sect target my Green Pill Valley."

"Hehe, is there any difference between the Luo Yun Sect taking action and the Yuding Sword Sect taking action?" Luo Chen's expression became fierce, "It's just borrowing a knife to kill someone!"

The woman was startled.

Surging emotions stirred in her heart, making her unable to be calm for a long time.

Borrowing a knife to kill someone!

For many days, there have been endless arguments in the Qingyun Hall, constantly exploring and arguing about the past and the future.

Some of the viewpoints, added to these four words "borrowing a knife to kill someone" at this moment, seemed to have found a backbone, and everything became reasonable.

The Luo Yun Sect started the war, relying not just on Han Zhan's promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.

A newly promoted Nascent Soul, a Golden Core great sect, why do they dare to challenge the Yuding Sword Sect, which has dominated the Yuding Domain for three hundred years?

What they rely on is the Lin Tianfan City pushing the waves behind them!

A Nascent Soul upper sect that possesses three Nascent Soul True Persons, a hundred Golden Cores, ten thousand Foundation Establishments, and dominates a domain!

Lin Tianfan City is a famous casting great sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

Not only do they often make natal magic treasures for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators in other domains, but the magic tools and magic treasures developed and cast by their sect are even more popular in the thirty-six domains of the Eastern Wasteland.

In front of Lin Tianfan City, there is no distinction between enemies; there are only those who buy their magic tools and those who don't.

If there must be enemies.

Then some sects that are also famous for casting can be considered their enemies.

The Luo Yun Sect, for no reason, didn't explore the Soul Transformation ruins, didn't attack the Yuding Sword Sect, but suddenly went to attack the Flame Alliance, which is famous for casting.

In this, there might be the meaning of Lin Tianfan City.

And according to Luo Chen's guess two years ago, the Yuding Sword Sect itself also has the intention of clearing up the major sects in the Yuding Domain.

So, this can explain why the Flame Alliance was attacked, and the Sword Sect could save them but didn't, instead doing that fake strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao.

The Sword Sect is also borrowing a knife to kill someone!

If you change the angle.

The Sword Sect threatening the Green Pill Valley, can it be seen as the Luo Yun Sect borrowing the Sword Sect's hand to try to plot for this spiritual land that has the potential to reach a fourth-tier spiritual vein?

However, it doesn't make sense.

If the Luo Yun Sect borrowed the Sword Sect's hand to try to plot for the Inner Pill Valley, why did the Sword Sect cut off Yuanhua Mountain and destroy the Inner Pill Valley's spiritual vein upgrade pattern?

Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?

Going back on their word?

Changing their mind halfway?

Then what about the future? Caught between the two great upper sects, how should the Green Pill Valley handle itself?

Looking at the confused Tao Wan, Luo Chen didn't know how many groundless associations his few simple words had caused her to have.

After the other party regained her senses slightly, he continued to talk eloquently.

"The current situation of the Green Pill Valley, although an ally of the Luo Yun Sect, is just a conflict of interests, with no solid explanation, and it is more like skinning a tiger to ask for its skin."

"I don't know if your sect really has a Nascent Soul Formation pill formula. But I know that a mere Yuding Domain can never accommodate a third Nascent Soul upper sect!"

"Today breaking Yuanhua, destroying the Inner Pill Valley's upgrade opportunity, tomorrow is plotting the Nascent Soul Formation pill formula, breaking your path forward. One day, the two great upper sects will directly pounce on the Green Pill Valley, eating your meat and sucking your blood!"

"Daoist Tao, I say the Green Pill Valley is facing a disaster, am I wrong?"

Tao Wan opened her mouth to speak, but stopped.

For a time, she couldn't find any words to refute Luo Chen.

The Yuding Domain is large, but that's only for Foundation Establishment and Golden Core sects.

Involving the level of Nascent Soul upper sects, it seems too small.

Looking at the thirty-six domains of the Eastern Wasteland, like Lin Tianfan City and the Medicine King Sect, which one is not dominating a domain?

Even so, those upper sects still dislike that their own territory is not enough, and once extended their tentacles to other great domains.

Now, the Medicine Pavilion, God Talisman Pavilion, and Ten Thousand Treasure Building spread throughout the Yuding Domain are all industries of upper sects from other domains.

Even though the Yuding civil war has been fought for more than twenty years, they are still living well, and their days are even more nourishing than before.

Under these circumstances.

How could the Yuding Domain accommodate a third Nascent Soul sect?

The Supreme Elders, usually extremely wise, why can't they see through such simple and clear things?

Tao Wan smiled bitterly.

But she didn't know that with the opportunity of Nascent Soul Formation in front and the shortage of lifespan behind, Qing Danzi and others had no time to care about these things.

Only Nascent Soul Formation is what they care about most.

Shaking her head, Tao Wan smiled bitterly at Luo Chen.

"The Daoist's analysis is so incisive, do you have any method to save the sect?"

Luo Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am just a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator; whether it is vision, pattern, or cultivation realm, I am far inferior to your great sects, what method do I have to save the Green Pill Valley? Daoist, you look too highly on me."

Tao Wan's anger rose on her face.

You have no method, yet you ran here to talk about major events.

What?

Want to see a joke!

But under the anger, she stared at Luo Chen, vaguely seeing the calmness in the other party's eyes.

Tao Wan took a deep breath and bowed to Luo Chen.

"From what Wanwan sees, the Daoist seems to have never done anything without certainty. Coming here today, you must have had a plan long ago."

"Between you and me, why do we need to go around in circles."

"Might as well tell me directly!"

Luo Chen looked at her in surprise and pursed his lips.

He wanted to continue going around in circles, and by the way, exert more pressure, so that the other party could help him achieve his goal.

But looking at it now, the other party has already lowered her status; if he took out those words again, it would be annoying.

He paused and said frankly:

"Well, you and I can be considered friends; going around in circles like this is indeed not a thing."

"I have three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, which may solve your sect's current predicament."

Three strategies, upper, middle, and lower?

You, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, still say your vision and pattern are not enough!

Teasing me for fun?

Tao Wan didn't know whether to be angry or happy, and bowed to Luo Chen again.

"Please teach me, Daoist!"
