"Qi Qi Shixiong Xu, is this the future mountain gate of our Luo Tian Sect?"

"Yes! That most majestic high mountain in the center is the Luo Tian Sect mountain gate. Right now, fellow Daoists from Mount Ailao Mountain are building palaces and pavilions on it; in the future, it will surely be a scene of an immortal sect. By the way, those small mountains guarding the vicinity were moved here by the Grand Elder and others last year with great magic power, and they will also belong to our Luo Tian Sect in the future."

"Has the mountain name been decided?"

"That hasn't been decided yet. However, I accidentally heard the Grand Elder mention it once; he plans to change the name of Snow Wolf Terrace to Snow Moon Mountain after things settle down in the future."

Xu Xu Huanzhen said so.

The two women behind him looked at each other, one of them showing curiosity.

Not called Luo Tian Mountain, but Snow Moon Mountain?

Yuan Xiaoyue thought thoughtfully: "The Grand Elder is a nostalgic person; I guess taking the character 'Moon' is to commemorate the Slanting Moon Valley at the beginning of the Luo Tian Sect's founding!"

She could be considered one of the first batch of people to follow Luo Chen.

Therefore, she vaguely guessed Luo Chen's thoughts.

Moreover, this "Moon" character could also be considered following the customs of the place, borrowing from the name of the Roaring Moon Mountain Range.

Yao Yao Mingyue, who had a great chance of inheriting the position of Sect Master in the future, showed a pleased smile upon hearing this.

"Speaking of which, I was also born in Slanting Moon Valley. Snow Moon Mountain... Xiaoyue, your name and mine also have the character 'Moon'."

Between the lines, there was a slight hint of provocation.

Yao Yao Mingyue's mentor was President Sima Hui Niang, and although Yuan Xiaoyue had no clear mentor, Gu Gu Caiyi was an existence who was both a mentor and a friend to her.

Because of the discord between the elders, the two female disciples under them were also somewhat at odds.

Not to mention that the position of future Sect Master had not been completely decided, and Yuan Xiaoyue also had a great chance of competing for it.

Xu Xu Huanzhen, who was listening to these words on the side, couldn't help but shake his head.

He couldn't stand "women fighting," so he immediately greeted them.

"Junior Brother and Junior Sister, fellow nephews, don't stay here anymore; follow me into the mountain!"

Behind Yao and Yuan, there was also a batch of Luo Tian Sect disciples.

Three Foundation Establishment true cultivators, nearly a hundred Qi Refining stage cultivators.

They were all sent over to support the construction of the sect's station.

Moreover, recently Wang Yuan and Chu Kui had successively gone into seclusion, and Luo Chen had been keeping a low profile due to cultivation, while the previous people in charge, Mei Mei Ruoqi and Zeng Ceng Yilong, had gone to the battlefield.

In the end, the ones in charge became Fu Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu.

Those two weren't good at handling trivial matters either.

Therefore, there was a group of cultivators sent over from the Mount Danxia Peak side of Mount Tianlan who were proficient in administrative affairs.

In reality, this was also a signal.

It represented that the focus of the Luo Tian Sect had begun to gradually shift.

A group of a hundred people sat on a top-grade flying boat and flew slowly toward the busy Snow Wolf Terrace.

Along the way, many Alliance cultivators cast curious glances.

Especially when they saw the two young female cultivators on the bow of the boat, who were not lacking in appearance and each had their own merits, they couldn't help but look a few more times.

Many people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

This Luo Tian Sect is truly full of talents!

Not to mention the strong of the older generation, among the younger generation, various talents were emerging one after another.

Compared to the miserable Wanxiang Sect, the Cen family focusing on improving strength, and the Wind and Rain Shanzhuang with no one in charge, the entire Alliance showed a thriving atmosphere, like a major immortal sect.

Just when the Luo Tian Sect's flying boat stopped on a lawn at the foot of the mountain.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators suddenly looked up at the distant sky.

A huge dragon boat, like a fire dragon, came through the clouds and mist.

Seeing this scene, Yao Yao Mingyue gave a light exclamation: "It's the Grand Elder's Red Flame Dragon Boat; is he on it?"

Regarding this question, Xu Xu Huanzhen frowned.

That's not right!

The Grand Elder was currently in bitter cultivation in his cave dwelling.

That dragon boat, it was said, was lent to Jiang Yu.

Three years for a rotation, it had only been two years; why did the flying boat come back?

Just when he was suspicious, three figures soared into the sky from three directions.

Wind and Rain Shanzhuang Master Di Di Wuqi, Cen family head Cen Cen Qiusheng, Luo Tian Sect Elder Fu Fu Jiusheng!

At the same time, a figure flew out from the dragon boat and headed straight for Snow Wolf Terrace.

Looking closely, it was Zeng Ceng Yilong!

Not only that, but he was also holding a woman who was unconscious in his arms.

Yuan Xiaoyue had always been on good terms with Zeng Ceng Yilong; when she was young, she had personally taken care of Zeng Ceng Yilong when he was a child.

Seeing this scene, she hurriedly flew over.

"Along, what happened?"

Zeng Ceng Yilong, whose face was full of anxiety, saw her and was stunned for a moment, "Senior Sister Xiaoyue, why are you here?"

But before she could answer, he said urgently: "Master Jiang Yu has died in battle, and his remains are on the dragon boat. The Alliance cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and Mei Ruoqi was attacked by cold ice monster energy and is in critical condition. Please ask Qi Qi Shixiong Xu to notify the Grand Elder and ask him to come out and preside over the overall situation!"

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked.

On the mountain peaks, with the three major superiors rising into the sky, large numbers of cultivator figures began to appear at this time.

"Grand Elder!"

"You are Wang Yuan's disciple; just call me Uncle-Master."

"Uncle-Master, you must save Junior Sister Mei Ruoqi; she was injured while blocking the combat shockwave of a third-tier monster king for me."

In the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen, shrouded in a dark black Daoist robe, looked at the woman lying on the ground and Zeng Ceng Yilong kneeling on the ground.

After a while, he withdrew his spiritual sense.

"The problem is not big; I can treat her, and I can save her."

Hearing these words, Zeng Ceng Yilong showed a look of joy.

Even the scar on his face became less ferocious.

Luo Chen pinched a spell with both hands, and when he pinched halfway, he couldn't help but groan.

"Hmph!"

Zeng Ceng Yilong was stunned, "Uncle-Master, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Chen shook his head, and his face under the hood could not be seen clearly.

"It's nothing; I will treat Mei Mei Ruoqi while you tell me about the battlefield."

Zeng Ceng Yilong nodded repeatedly.

After organizing his language slightly, he recounted the most terrifying scene in the depths of his memory.

"The Nine Sects' Sword-Wielding Hall is just as you said before; there are no major events in ordinary times, and the main tasks are law enforcement, supervising battles, and temporary rescue."

"In more than two years, we carried out a total of four missions."

"Executing a late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator; that person was blinded by greed and took the opportunity to sneak attack a true disciple of a major sect while they were attacking a third-tier spirit vein. The Sword-Wielding Hall was furious and sent us to pursue and kill him for thousands of miles."

"There was another mission to coordinate a major battle that almost broke out between two major Core Formation sects; they were arguing endlessly over a third-tier spirit vein they had conquered, and their tempers were very high, almost fighting with real swords and guns..."

"The last mission was in a top-grade third-tier spirit vein battle ten thousand miles away from the Roaring Moon Wolf Court."

"At that time, the five sects joined forces to attack this place, determined to win."

"No one expected that besides the strong garrison forces, the Roaring Moon Wolf Court also sent a monster king to support them. After learning the news, the Sword-Wielding Hall dispatched all its troops, determined to intercept this batch of reinforcements and ensure the success of the battle."

"That was a blocking battle that I will never forget in my life!"

Treating Mei Mei Ruoqi might have been somewhat difficult for Luo Chen in the past.

The Great Perfection Cleaning Art could at most clear second-tier evil energy.

But involving the monster energy of a third-tier monster, this kind of energy comparable to a cultivator's Core Formation magic power, it was completely insufficient.

But fortunately, Luo Chen learned the "Dragon-Slaying Art."

This fourth-tier spell belonged to the kind that was easy to learn but hard to master.

He had talent, so he entered the door very early and even reached the proficiency level.

Moreover, the monster energy on Mei Mei Ruoqi was just a shockwave from a third-tier Frost Wolf King, so it wasn't very difficult for him to clear it.

The only thing that made Luo Chen uncomfortable was probably the Hidden Array on his body acting up!

Engraving a third-tier array into the body, before completely adapting to it, the operation of the array would affect the flow of magic power in his body.

This was also the reason why he had been keeping a low profile and almost never showing his face recently.

At this time, he was a bit weak.

The Dragon-Slaying Art was released time and time again.

The cold ice monster energy on Mei Mei Ruoqi was constantly cut away.

In this process, Luo Chen occasionally cast those Great Perfection medical arts to protect the other party's heart pulse.

After spending three hours, when signs of redness appeared on Mei Mei Ruoqi's pale skin, Luo Chen also learned the ins and outs of the battlefield from Zeng Ceng Yilong.

"It's about the same as the intelligence sent back by Min Longyu."

"The monsters in the Roaring Moon Mountain Range now are different from the traditional monster tribes that occupy a place, claim to be kings, do not help each other, and have a strong sense of territory."

"Under the command of that alternative Roaring Moon Wolf Emperor, the wolf tribes in the Roaring Moon Mountain Range have been twisted into a rope."

"Perhaps at the beginning, they were defeated by a thousand miles and were not the opponents of the cultivator army at all."

"But the deeper they went into the Wolf Court, the stronger the resistance became, and they even had the strategies of human warfare."

"Using the top-grade third-tier spirit vein as bait, luring the enemy deep, and then severely damaging the cultivator coalition."

"The five major Core Formation sects were defeated and returned."

"The Nine Sects' Sword-Wielding Hall saw three Core Formation True Persons die on the spot, and several other Core Formation cultivators were injured, and hundreds of Foundation Establishment true disciples of the sects were killed or injured."

"This battle is definitely the one with the greatest losses for human cultivators since the Opening War!"

After clarifying all this intelligence.

Luo Chen sent Mei Mei Ruoqi, who was sleeping soundly, to Zeng Ceng Yilong with his magic power.

"I know about this matter; you take her back, follow the prescription I gave to prepare, and let her insist on taking it for three months, and she should be able to recover as before."

Zeng Ceng Yilong nodded repeatedly, and the worried look on his face completely dissipated.

Seeing him holding the woman and about to leave, Luo Chen shook his head.

"You come here!"

"Huh?"

Zeng Ceng Yilong was puzzled, but still approached Luo Chen.

Then he saw Luo Chen stretch out a hand covered with black lines and stroke his face.

A tingling feeling made Zeng Ceng Yilong's toes tighten in his shoes.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his hand, and the magic power shockwave rippled on his fingertips.

"The new generation of young talents of my Luo Tian Sect cannot leave such ugly scars."

"Alright, go back!"

Zeng Ceng Yilong touched his face, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered that the black lines on Luo Chen's hands were so strange; could it be that the Uncle-Master was practicing some divine skill secret art?

After he left.

Luo Chen sat in the cave dwelling for a long time, and finally stood up slowly.

"They should be anxious waiting for me."

"Forget it!"

"This body wanting to completely adapt to the Hidden Array is not a matter of a moment; it's better to take time to see them!"

Shrouded in a black robe, Luo Chen walked quietly.

Before long, he came to the huge manor on Iron Qingshan.

Before entering, he heard a sound of crying and howling.

His spiritual sense spread out without any concealment.

Luo Chen saw Jiang He standing in the middle of the sad crowd, his lips pursed and his expression firm.

He was Jiang Yu's biological son, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, and because he had the weak third-tier spirit land specially arranged by his father before he left, his cultivation was not far from the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Yu, who had been shielding the Jiang family from the wind and rain, was gone.

I wonder how he feels now?

"If I were to die suddenly one day, what would the Luo Tian Sect cultivators be like?"

Just as he was muttering in his heart, Cen Cen Qiusheng's aged voice came over.

"Since the Fellow Daoist has arrived, why not come in for a chat?"

"Luo is coming now."

He replied with a spiritual sense transmission and went straight into the Wind and Rain Shanzhuang.

He didn't conceal his figure much, but no one discovered him along the way.

This Great Perfection Hidden Array, which had not yet been adapted to, was already enough to openly deceive Foundation Establishment true cultivators.

Once completely adapted, the spiritual sense of Core Formation cultivators would probably not be able to see it clearly either.

And if it were completely activated...

Di Di Wuqi, Cen Cen Qiusheng, Fu Fu Jiusheng, and Luo Chen gathered together again.

Less Jiang Yu.

Never again would they see the grand scene of the five major Core Formation cultivators laughing and talking.

And it was very clear that there might be changes next.

Because the Nine Sects' Sword-Wielding Hall had suffered heavy losses and would inevitably mobilize the strong from major sects to replenish their vital strength.

The Luo Tian Alliance could not escape either.

This was already limited in the alliance treaty when they joined the Opening War years ago; major Core Formation sects had to obey the dispatch of the Nascent Soul upper sects hosting the war.

As long as it was a reasonable dispatch order, they had to go!

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it to the upper sects, and even if it made a big scene, the Mingyuan Sect of the Soul Transformation holy land would only support the Nascent Soul upper sects that occupied justice.

"Speak!"

Di Di Wuqi raised his eyelids and broke the silent atmosphere.

Fu Fu Jiusheng looked at Luo Chen and then laughed, "According to our previous agreement, this time it's Fellow Daoist Cen's turn."

He was straightforward and not afraid of offending anyone.

Cen Cen Qiusheng smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang was so powerful, yet he didn't last three years. If I go, I'm afraid it will be ten deaths and no life!"

"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be so pessimistic..."

"It's not that I'm pessimistic. This time, eleven people went out, one Core Formation cultivator died in battle, three Foundation Establishment true cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect fell, one Luo Tian Sect cultivator was slightly injured, and one was seriously injured. My Cen family's two people returned safe and sound, but they were also quite frightened. Everyone already knows about the Roaring Moon Wolf Court, so there's no need to cover it up."

Cen Cen Qiusheng said with a bitter smile.

The others fell into silence again.

This Opening War was completely different from the dozens of times before.

It was the largest in scale, covering nine major upper sects, eighteen major Core Formation sects, and a million cultivators!

But monsters, it's no longer accurate to say that; they should be called the Monster Race!

The resistance of the Monster Race this time was also completely different from before.

That Roaring Moon Wolf Emperor, worthy of being a generation of Monster Race talents, actually integrated an entire major domain.

It was even discovered that many powerful wolf tribes in the Wolf Court were rare wolf tribe tribes from other places in the depths of the wild million mountains.

In other words, he also received support from the depths of the wild mountains.

Therefore, the cultivator army that had been sailing smoothly was blocked outside the Roaring Moon Wolf Court.

The thunderous conquest strategy that was supposed to sweep everything away stopped abruptly after only four years.

Moreover, those with slightly far-reaching vision could foresee the future.

This Opening War would likely be like before, falling into a war quagmire, and it was unknown how many years it would take to completely conquer it.

Yes!

Even under these circumstances, high-level human cultivators still held a certain optimistic attitude.

It's hard to fight, but it can definitely be conquered!

Cen Cen Qiusheng's gaze swept over everyone, especially lingering for a long time on the figure shrouded in the black robe.

He said indignantly: "Since it's agreed, I won't push it anymore."

"But I can go, but for the Cen family, whether I can come back alive or not, you must treat them well!"

Hearing these words, Di Di Wuqi showed a smile.

As long as he agreed.

He laughed: "This is only right; even if the Fellow Daoist didn't mention it, we would do the same."

Cen Cen Qiusheng shook his head, "Not enough, I need a promise!"

Fu Fu Jiusheng received Luo Chen's transmission and immediately said: "My Luo Tian Sect is willing to give this promise."

Di Di Wuqi pondered for a while and said leisurely: "If the Fellow Daoist can take away the two remaining Foundation Establishment late-stage great cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect when you leave, I am also willing to give this promise."

Cen Cen Qiusheng frowned, not knowing why the other party kept targeting the Wanxiang Sect.

When Di Di Wuqi ambushed the Wanxiang Sect's Core Formation cultivator on Iron Qingshan, he was not present, so he didn't know the reason.

But the Wanxiang Sect had nothing to do with him, so there was nothing to hesitate about for such a small matter.

After agreeing, Cen Cen Qiusheng suddenly looked at Luo Chen.

"Fire Spirit Lord, I have a request, and I hope you will agree."

Under the black hood, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, "Speak."

"Cen Cen Guangyi is at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment under my guidance, and the time for core formation should be in these few years. If I go, I hope you will be his guardian and protect him from any disturbance when he forms his core. Fellow Daoist, I entrust this to you!"

Luo Chen pursed his lips.

No wonder he didn't call him Fellow Daoist Luo or Alchemy Master Alchemist Danchenzi at this time, but instead called him by the title of Fire Spirit Lord.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I agree to this matter."

"In that case, I have no more worries." Cen Cen Qiusheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a sincere smile appeared on his aged face.

He chose to believe in Luo Chen's reputation as a gentleman.

It was just that Di Di Wuqi's mouth twitched, not expecting this to happen.

Time passed quickly.

In the Luo Tian Alliance.

Before they could feel sad about the death of Jiang Yu, Cen family Core Formation superior Cen Cen Qiusheng had to rush to the battlefield.

And on the Wanxiang Sect side, after their senior brother Zeng Ceng Yilong died in battle, they had to mobilize the only two remaining Foundation Establishment late-stage great cultivators, and they made a scene.

But under Cen Cen Qiusheng's suppression, they had to send those two out.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, the Red Flame Dragon Boat set sail again.

There was no high-spiritedness of the first time; this time the atmosphere was very heavy.

In this heavy atmosphere, Luo Chen personally saw off the two Luo Tian Sect Foundation Establishment true cultivators who were going to the battlefield, and then his escape light flashed and he left the Alliance spirit land.

According to the regulations, it would be his turn to go to the front line next time.

Some things could not continue in such a step-by-step, unhurried manner.

The progress must be accelerated!
