Chapter 491

"Senior Brother Xu, is this the future mountain gate of our Luo Tian Sect?"

"That's right! The most magnificent high mountain in the center is the Luo Tian Sect mountain gate. Now, fellow Daoists from Mount Ailao are building palaces and buildings on it; in the future, it will surely be a scene of an immortal family. By the way, those small mountains nearby that guard it were moved here by the Supreme Elders 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?"

"Not yet. But I accidentally heard the Supreme Elder mention it once, intending to change the name of Snow Wolf Flat to Snow Moon Mountain after things settle down in the future."

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

She was among 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 local customs, borrowing from the name of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range.

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

"Speaking of which, I was also born in Slanting Moon Valley. Snow Moon Mountain... Xiaoyue, you and I also have the 'Moon' character in our names."

Vaguely, there was a hint of provocation.

Yao Mingyue's master was Sima Huiniang, and although Yuan Xiaoyue did not have a clear master, Gu Caiyi was someone she considered both a teacher and a friend.

Due to the discord between their elders, the two women under them were also somewhat at odds.

Moreover, the future position of Sect Master had not been completely decided, and Yuan Xiaoyue also had a great chance to compete for it.

Xu Huanzhen, who was on the side, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard these words.

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

"Junior brothers and sisters, fellow junior nephews, don't stay here, follow me into the mountain!"

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

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators and nearly a hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

They were all transferred here to support the construction of the sect's base.

Moreover, recently Wang Yuan and Chu Kui had successively gone into seclusion, Luo Chen was living in seclusion due to cultivation, and Mei Ruoqi and Ceng Yilong, who were in charge before, had gone to the battlefield.

After some back and forth, those in charge became Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu.

Those two were also not good at handling trivial matters.

Therefore, this was why a group of cultivators proficient in administrative affairs were sent over from Tianlan Danxia Peak.

In fact, this was also a signal.

Representing that the focus of the Luo Tian Sect was beginning to gradually shift.

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

Along the way, many alliance cultivators cast curious gazes.

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

Many people were secretly sighing in their hearts.

This Luo Tian Sect truly has a succession of talents!

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

Compared to the miserable Myriad Phenomena Sect, the Cen family focusing on improving strength, and the Wind and Rain Villa with no one in charge, the Luo Tian Sect was the only one in the entire alliance that showed a thriving atmosphere of a great immortal sect.

Just as the Luo Tian Sect's flying boat docked 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 Mingyue gave a soft cry: "It's the Supreme Elder's Scarlet Flame Dragon Boat; is he on it?"

Regarding this question, Xu Huanzhen frowned.

That's not right!

The Supreme Elder is currently in seclusion in his cave dwelling.

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

A rotation every three years; only two years have passed, so why is the flying boat back?

Just as he was surprised and uncertain, three figures rose into the sky from three directions.

Di Wuqi, the Villa Master of Wind and Rain Villa, Cen Qiusheng, the head of the Cen family, and Fu Jiusheng, an elder of the Luo Tian Sect!

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

Looking closely, it was 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 Ceng Yilong; when he was a child, she had personally taken care of him.

Seeing this scene, she hurriedly flew over.

"A-Long, what happened?"

Ceng Yilong, with a face full of anxiety, was stunned for a moment when he saw her, "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 have suffered heavy losses, and Ruoqi has been attacked by cold ice demon energy and is in critical condition. Please, Senior Brother Xu, notify the Supreme Elder and ask him to come out to preside over the overall situation!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

On various mountain peaks, as the three masters rose into the sky, large numbers of cultivator figures began to appear at this time.

"Supreme Elder!"

"You are Wang Yuan's disciple, just call me Junior Martial Uncle."

"Junior Martial Uncle, you must save Junior Sister Ruoqi; she was injured while blocking the aftermath of a third-tier demon king's battle for me."

Inside the cave dwelling.

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

After a long while, he withdrew his spiritual sense.

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

Hearing this, Ceng Yilong couldn't help but show a look of pleasant surprise.

Even the scar on his face became less hideous.

Luo Chen pinched a spell with both hands, and halfway through, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Hmph!"

Ceng Yilong was stunned, "Junior Martial Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Chen shook his head, his face under the hood not clearly visible.

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

Ceng Yilong nodded hurriedly.

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

"The Sword-Holding Hall of the Nine Sects is just as you said before; there are usually no major events, and the main tasks are law enforcement, supervising battles, and temporary rescue."

"In over two years, we have carried out a total of four missions."

"Killing a late-stage Foundation Establishment robber; that person was blinded by greed and took the opportunity to ambush a disciple of a great sect while attacking a third-tier spiritual vein. The Sword-Holding Hall was furious and sent us to pursue and kill him for thousands of miles."

"There was another mission to coordinate a great war that almost broke out between two Jin Dan great sects; they were arguing endlessly over a third-tier spiritual vein that had been taken down, and their tempers were very high, almost coming to real blades and guns..."

"The last mission was in a battle for a top-grade third-tier spiritual vein thousands of miles away from the Proud Howling 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 Proud Howling Wolf Court also sent demon kings to support. After learning the news, the Sword-Holding Hall mobilized its entire army, determined to intercept this batch of support to ensure the success of the battle."

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

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

A Great Perfection Cleansing Spell can at most clear second-tier evil energy.

But when it involves the demon power of a third-tier demon beast, this energy comparable to a cultivator's Jin Dan magic power is completely insufficient.

But fortunately, Luo Chen learned the "Dragon Slashing Technique."

This fourth-tier spell belongs to the kind that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

He had talent, so he entered it very early, and even reached the proficient level.

Moreover, the demon power on Mei Ruoqi was just a ripple from a third-tier Frost Wolf King, so it was not very difficult for him to clear it.

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

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

This is also the reason why he has been living in seclusion and rarely appearing recently.

At this time, he was a bit weak.

The Dragon Slashing Technique was released again and again.

The cold ice demon power on Mei Ruoqi was constantly slashed away.

In this process, Luo Chen occasionally cast those accomplished medical techniques to protect her heart pulse.

When it took three hours and a ruddy sign appeared on Mei Ruoqi's pale skin, Luo Chen also learned the cause and effect of the matter from Ceng Yilong.

"It's about the same as the intelligence sent back by Xing Zonghan."

"Now the demon beasts in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range are no longer the same as the demon race in the traditional sense that occupies a place, claims to be king, does not help each other, and has a strong sense of territory."

"Under the leadership of that unconventional Proud Howling Wolf Emperor, the wolf race in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range has been twisted into a rope."

"Perhaps at the beginning, they were defeated by thousands of 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 strategies for human warfare."

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

"The five major Jin Dan sects returned in a miserable defeat."

"The Sword-Holding Hall of the Nine Sects had three Jin Dan True Persons killed on the spot, several other Jin Dan cultivators were injured, and hundreds of Foundation Establishment 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 used his magic power to carry the soundly sleeping Mei Ruoqi and sent her to Ceng Yilong.

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

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?"

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 sensation made Ceng Yilong curl his toes into his soles.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his hand, the aftermath of magic power rippling on his fingertips.

"How can the young talent of our Luo Tian Sect leave such an ugly scar."

"Alright, go back!"

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

He bowed in a salute.

"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle!"

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

After he left.

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

"They must be in a hurry waiting for me."

"Forget it!"

"It's not a matter of a moment for this body to completely adapt to the Hidden-Being Array; I'd better take the time to see them!"

Shrouded in a black robe, Luo Chen walked quietly.

Before long, he arrived at the huge manor on Iron Green Mountain.

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

His spiritual sense spread out without the slightest concealment.

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

He was Jiang Yu's own son, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment; because he had the weak third-tier spiritual land that his father had specially arranged before leaving, his cultivation was now not far from the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Now Jiang Yu, who had sheltered the Jiang family from 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?"

As he murmured in his heart, Cen Qiusheng's aged voice came over.

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

"Luo Mou is coming right now."

After replying with a spiritual sense transmission, Luo Chen went straight into the Wind and Rain Villa.

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

This Great Perfection Hidden-Being Array, which had not yet been adapted to, was already enough to deceive Foundation Establishment True Persons openly.

Once completely adapted, I'm afraid even the spiritual sense of Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't be able to see clearly.

And if it were completely activated...

Di Wuqi, Cen Qiusheng, Fu Jiusheng, and Luo Chen, the four of them gathered together again.

Missing Jiang Yu.

Never again to see the grand scene of the five great Jin Dan cultivators chatting and laughing.

And it was obvious that there might be changes next.

Because the Sword-Holding Hall of the Nine Sects had suffered heavy losses and would inevitably need to mobilize strong cultivators from major sects to replenish their vital forces.

The Luo Tian Alliance could not escape either.

This was already stipulated in the alliance treaty when they joined the opening war; major Jin Dan sects must obey the dispatch of the Nascent Soul superior sect that presided over the war.

As long as it is a reasonable dispatch order, they must go!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to account for it to the superior sect, and even if it made a big fuss, the Mingyuan Sect, the Soul Transformation holy land, would only support the Nascent Soul superior sect that occupied justice.

"Speak!"

Di Wuqi raised his eyelids, breaking the silent atmosphere.

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

He was blunt and not afraid of offending people.

Cen Qiusheng gave a bitter smile, "Fellow Daoist Jiang was so powerful, yet he didn't even last three years. If I go, I'm afraid it's 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 Jin Dan died in battle, three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Myriad Phenomena Sect fell, the Luo Tian Sect had one lightly injured and one heavily injured. My Cen family's two people returned unscathed, but they were also quite frightened. Three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Wind and Rain Villa, two returned, one died. Everyone knows about the Proud Howling Wolf Court, no need to cover it up."

Cen Qiusheng said with a bitter smile.

The others fell into silence again.

This opening war is completely different from the dozens of previous ones.

The largest scale, covering nine major superior sects, eighteen Jin Dan great sects, with over a million cultivators!

But demon beasts, that's not accurate anymore; they should be called the demon race!

The resistance of the demon race is also completely different from before.

That Proud Howling Wolf Emperor is worthy of being a genius of the demon race for a generation, actually integrating an entire great domain.

It was even discovered that many powerful wolf races in the Wolf Court were rare wolf tribes from other places deep in the million mountains of the wilderness.

In other words, he also received support from deep in the wilderness mountains.

Therefore, this caused the smooth-sailing cultivator army to be blocked outside the Proud Howling Wolf Court.

The promised thunderous sweeping momentum came to an abrupt end in just four years.

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

This opening war is very likely to fall into a quagmire of war like before, and it is unknown how many years it will take to completely take it down.

Yes!

Even in this situation, high-level human cultivators still hold a certain optimistic attitude.

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

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

He said generously: "Since it's agreed, then I won't refuse again."

"But I can go, as for the Cen family, whether I can return alive or not, you must treat them preferentially!"

Hearing this, Di Wuqi smiled.

As long as he agrees.

He smiled: "This is what should be done; even if you didn't mention it, we would do the same."

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

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

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

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

He was not present when Di Wuqi ambushed the Myriad Phenomena Sect's Jin Dan on Iron Green Mountain, so he didn't know the reason.

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

After agreeing, Cen Qiusheng suddenly looked at Luo Chen.

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

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

"Cen Guangyi is already 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 protector, protecting him from any disturbance during his Core Formation. Fellow Daoist, Cen Mou, I entrust this to you!"

Luo Chen pursed his lips.

No wonder he didn't call him Fellow Daoist Luo at this time, nor did he call him Dan Chenzi, 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 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 Wuqi's mouth twitched, not expecting this turn of events.

Time passed quickly.

In the Luo Tian Alliance.

Before they had time to feel sad about the fall of Master Jiang Yu, the Cen family's Jin Dan master Cen Qiusheng was about to rush to the battlefield.

And over at the Myriad Phenomena Sect, after Senior Brother Zong Jiulang died in battle, they were about to be transferred the only two remaining late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivators, and they started to make a fuss.

But under Cen Qiusheng's suppression, they had no choice but to send those two people.

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

Without the high spirits of the first time, the atmosphere this time was very heavy.

In this heavy atmosphere, Luo Chen personally saw off the two Luo Tian Sect Foundation Establishment True Persons who were about to rush to the battlefield, and then his escape light flashed, and he left the alliance's spiritual land.

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

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

Must speed up the progress!
