Chapter 496: Arriving at the Front Line, Ghostly Tricks

"Boom!"

In a luxurious quiet room on the Red Flame Dragon Boat, Luo Chen woke up abruptly from his meditation.

The sound echoed in his ears, like thunder but not thunder, like a drum but not a drum, not coming from the sky, but as if it originated from the ground.

His mind stirred, and he stepped out of the quiet room.

"Heaven Drum Plain, have we arrived?"

Xing Zonghan, who was familiar with his style, was already waiting outside.

He lowered his head and replied: "We are almost there. That sound just now, I think it was another Jin Dan True Person fighting with a demonic king-level existence of the same rank, causing a slight ground tremor."

Luo Chen nodded slightly.

The Proud Roar Wolf Court is located in the very center of the Proud Roar Mountain Range.

The fourth-tier spirit vein it occupies is extremely vast, covering an area of ten thousand miles.

Within it, high mountains stand like a forest, and lakes are scattered like stars, with countless heavenly treasures growing here.

Besides this, the most famous is that vast and boundless huge plain.

This plain looks unremarkable at first glance, but if you rise to a very high place and look down, you will find that the altitude of this plain is particularly higher than other locations, like a giant drum protruding from the depths of a big mountain.

If a powerful person fights here, the agitation of magic power will trigger ground resonance.

That kind of ground resonance sound is like thunder but not thunder, like a drum but not a drum, as if a god is beating a drum in the heavenly realm, shaking the three worlds.

Therefore, this plain is named Heaven Drum Plain, truly a place of creation!

According to many people's estimates, the final decisive battle will most likely unfold on Heaven Drum Plain, so the current situation is that the Luoyun Sect, which has the advantage, and the Proud Roar Wolf Court, which guards one place, are arraying troops on both sides of Heaven Drum Plain.

Especially on the human side, they are constantly mobilizing strong people from the rear to continuously clear out the outer demonic beast strongholds, thereby forming huge pressure on the Proud Roar Wolf Court.

As of now, there is already a faint pattern of surrounding three sides and leaving one open.

The reason it is faint is mainly because the top-grade third-tier spirit vein that led to the failure of the five sects back then has not been taken yet.

That spirit vein can be counted as one of the gateways to the Proud Roar Wolf Court.

If it is not taken, then during the final great battle, it is very easy to have sudden trouble.

"Heaven Drum Plain is too dangerous, with strong people of the wolf clan patrolling it day and night, so the base camp of the Luoyun Sect is established on a large third-tier spirit vein outside Heaven Drum Plain."

"Supreme Elder, we will be there in at most a few dozen breaths."

Xing Zonghan said.

Luo Chen said "um," didn't go back into the quiet room, but stood outside, his spiritual eyes constantly scanning in all directions.

On the flying boat, the cultivators of the other three families also came out one after another and gathered together.

Luo Chen took a look and sneered inwardly.

It seems that their families are still very stingy, afraid that their family strong people will be wasted on the battlefield, so the ones sent out are all small characters in the early and mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.

Only the Wanxiang Sect and the Luo Tian Sect are different.

On the Wanxiang Sect side, two great cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage looked quite nervous.

They cannot afford to lose.

Once they die on the battlefield, the Wanxiang Sect will really have no future.

And the Luo Tian Sect, Ceng Yilong, who stepped onto the battlefield again, was in an eager-to-try state.

Such a place is extremely suitable for body refiners to hone their strength.

Last time, after experiencing several battles, he had already fully mastered the Ming Jin and had a faint glimpse of the An Jin path.

It sounds like his strength is not as good as Wang Yuan's when he first arrived at Heavenly Lan Immortal City.

But in reality, it is not calculated that way.

Wang Yuan's body refining path back then was quite tortuous, and his cultivation was not systematic.

First realized the changes in blood and qi, then went back to complete the foundation.

In contrast, Ceng Yilong had a particularly good foundation since childhood. After promoting to the second realm of body refining, the Blood River Realm, he walked step by step from marrow cleansing and organ refining to meridian opening. Until the opening of the orifices was completed, he accumulated infinite blood and qi in his own orifices.

It can be said that he was realizing the changes in blood and qi as a matter of course under the condition that his foundation was as solid as it could be.

This is the truth of the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade.

Today's Ceng Yilong, as long as his combat experience keeps up, his strength is definitely ten times that of Wang Yuan when he first arrived at Heavenly Lan. Fighting a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage is not impossible!

Especially, this time returning to the front line.

He has barely mastered the third-tier flying spell "Ninety Thousand Miles" taught by Luo Chen.

Between moving and shifting, his lethality has increased!

It can be said that as long as Ceng Yilong can survive this opening war, he will definitely occupy a place among the strong people at the Foundation Establishment level.

"Wang Yuan said he doesn't care about the sect, doesn't consider inheritance, and feels these things will drag down his cultivation."

"In reality, the resources and effort poured into this little apprentice over the years are massive."

"Since so, let me, this martial uncle, sharpen this heavy sword!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

He knows deeply that top strong people are never saved, nor are they cultivated by closing the door to build a car.

Only by combining theory, cultivation, and practice can true top strong people be born.

In the Luo Tian Sect, there are many cultivators with higher realms than Ceng Yilong.

Such as Gu Caiyi, Sima Wenjie, and others.

But Luo Chen never thinks they are strong people, but defines them as administrative talents.

Only people like him and Wang Yuan, who constantly polish their fighting methods in life-and-death battles, can be called strong people, and even more so, the so-called cross-rank killing incidents occur from time to time.

Ceng Yilong, the path he wants to take is this one!

"Supreme, we are here!"

With a whisper from Xing Zonghan, Luo Chen raised his hand.

The huge Red Flame Dragon Boat landed slowly in an empty valley.

Beside it, disciples of the Luoyun Sect came up to hand over with Xing Zonghan.

Recording the roster, arranging for cultivators from Heavenly Sail City to come and check and repair the flying boat, a fee will be charged in the process.

These are all expected, and Xing Zonghan will handle them.

It can be seen that they are all familiar with these processes.

Even for the arrival of a Jin Dan True Person like Luo Chen, there was no curious look, looking as if they were used to it.

Ceng Yilong approached and pointed to a tall spirit mountain next to the valley: "That is Chiba Peak, Uncle Master, you go there to register and indicate that our Luo Tian Alliance has changed the person in charge at the Sword Hall."

Luo Chen nodded and looked at them: "And you?"

Xing Zonghan had already handed over and immediately took over the conversation: "I will arrange it."

Luo Chen said "um," mobilized his magic power, and floated onto Chiba Peak.

The Luoyun Sect disciples who had received the notification immediately came out to greet him.

Seeing the person, Luo Chen laughed out loud.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, long time no see, have you been well?"

Qu Xibai walked and laughed: "How can I be as free and easy in the rear as Fellow Daoist Luo? I, however, cannot be idle for a moment. Come, please come in!"

He spread his right hand and made an invitation gesture.

"Oh, your sect has many talents, are you that busy?"

Luo Chen followed by his side and walked side by side with him.

Qu Xibai sighed: "You don't know how worrying it is to preside over the opening war. Outsiders only think that we are a newly promoted Nascent Soul upper sect, commanding the heroes, no one dares not to obey, very glorious, right? In reality, the worries and troubles inside are countless!"

"Formulating strategies, coordinating the Jin Dan great sects under our command, negotiating with the eight great upper sects, and the most important hunting of demonic beasts..."

"Tsk tsk, I hope that one day, Fellow Daoist Luo, you can also enjoy this kind of pain!"

Luo Chen was stunned, then smiled and bowed his hands, "Then I will accept your auspicious words!"

Qu Xibai waved his hand and talked about the current situation.

Nowadays, the nine great upper sects and eighteen great sects all take the Luoyun Sect as the leader.

On the Luoyun Sect side, the one presiding over the overall situation is True Person Cheng Yan in the late Jin Dan stage.

Qu Xibai, the current Sect Master of Luoyun Sect, Ruan Jing, and another Jin Dan True Person, serve by his side and are at his disposal.

These three Jin Dan also have subdivided tasks.

Qu Xibai is responsible for welcoming and sending off, and coordinating the friction and contradictions between the sects.

Sect Master Ruan Jing is responsible for logistics, the scheduling of all strategic resources, etc.

The specific duties of the other Jin Dan True Person were not mentioned, but Luo Chen had heard from Xing Zonghan before that the other party is responsible for information-related collection work.

And this is just the base camp side.

Responsible for commanding the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples of the Luoyun Sect, several Jin Dan True Persons were also assigned.

In addition, on the Nine Sects Sword Hall side, Linghu Jie in the mid-stage of Jin Dan was arranged as the sword wielder.

Now what Luo Chen has to do is to report to True Person Cheng Yan first, and then go to see Linghu Jie.

The process is a bit cumbersome.

But after a set of processes, he basically had a rough understanding of the situation on the front line.

In the back hall of the main hall, Luo Chen saw True Person Cheng Yan for the second time.

The last time was during the Jin Dan exchange meeting at Moon-Breaking Immortal City.

Meeting this time, the other party looked at Luo Chen seriously and carefully, and then took out an identity token.

Holding the iron token with a handle, Luo Chen was a bit surprised, a top-grade magic tool!

"Leave your magic power mark, and you can temporarily recognize this treasure as master."

"This token can not only indicate your identity, but also alert the base camp after being activated."

"Of course, there is also a defensive spell on it, but it doesn't have much effect on us."

Luo Chen nodded, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Cheng, for your guidance."

Cheng Yan performed very kindly, he smiled: "You are also here to help, why thank me. If there is thanks, I should be the one to say it."

Luo Chen was humble for a few words, and then flew to another mountain peak where the Nine Sects Sword Hall was stationed under the guidance of Qu Xibai.

After he left.

Cheng Yan restrained his smile and looked up.

A sound transmission fell.

He nodded slightly, "It's good that he is not a spy of the demon clan."

After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Junior Brother, the timing is ripe, when will the general attack be launched?"

In the void, a gentle voice came: "Wait a little longer."

Cheng Yan frowned. Nowadays, all sects have joined forces to take down all the territories that can be fought.

That spirit land that the five sects did not take down back then is also within reach.

Clearly, the strong people on the Proud Roar Wolf Court side are still constantly increasing.

In this situation, are you still not launching a general attack?

What are you doing by dragging it out?

"Waiting for someone!"

Luo Chen, who came out of the Chiba Main Hall, subconsciously looked back at the peak.

There, there was an aura that, even if suppressed to the extreme, still made people awe, revealing itself from time to time.

If there is no accident, it should be the newly promoted Nascent Soul True Person Han Zhan of the Luoyun Sect.

It is rumored that this person is not old, less than four hundred years of age!

Even within the Luoyun Sect, he is definitely not an old person.

Like True Person Cheng Yan and Linghu Jie that Luo Chen saw before, they are actually Han Zhan True Person's senior brothers.

Of course!

After the other party formed an infant, the seniority was naturally redefined.

It was only True Person Cheng Yan, who was nearing the end of his life, and in his early years was like a teacher and father to True Person Han Zhan, so he still maintained the title between senior and junior brothers.

Such an existence, sitting in the base camp at all times, I think it is also to prevent high-level demonic beasts from the Proud Roar Wolf Court from carrying out decapitation operations!

Seeing his gaze, Qu Xibai on the side smiled and didn't speak, just leading the way in front.

After a while.

The two landed on another mountain peak.

As soon as they landed, several spiritual senses probed over.

Luo Chen's face changed slightly.

Qu Xibai smiled: "They are all strong people in the sect, no need to care. It is mainly because your Luo Tian Alliance changes one person every three years, which is a bit frequent, so fellow daoists are also curious about who the newcomer is."

Luo Chen understood and nodded gently.

Those spiritual senses also touched and retracted, friendly and retracted.

Several spiritual senses seemed to hesitate, lingered for a while, and then retracted.

Seeing this, Qu Xibai stroked his beard, "Fellow Daoist once participated in refining the Infant-Forming Elixir, and the reputation of being able to refine third-tier Starry Elixirs has already spread among us. Now that you are here, I estimate that many fellow daoists will take the initiative to visit you."

"Just a thin name, you are over-praising." Luo Chen said humbly.

While the two were talking, they had already entered a bright red main hall, as if poured with fresh blood.

A sinister old man stood quietly inside, as if waiting for a while.

Seeing the other party, Qu Xibai bowed his hands.

"Senior Brother Linghu, I have sent the person to you, Junior Brother will say goodbye now."

Linghu Jie nodded, "Junior Brother, go be busy!"

After Qu Xibai left, Linghu Jie then looked at Luo Chen seriously.

Luo Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, also looking at the other party.

The first meeting was at Dahe Market.

At that time, he recognized the other party, and the other party probably didn't recognize him.

A black robe, unsealing the market, controlling three great ghost kings to besiege Pang Renxiong, can be described as arrogant.

Although the killing aura is getting stronger now, the demeanor is clearly more steady.

It can be seen that the other party's cultivation has improved again over the years, I am afraid it is only one step away from the late Jin Dan stage!

To this, Luo Chen can only sigh, worthy of being a newly promoted upper sect!

Even if the older generation is about to wither, the backbone generation can also make up for it, and even the blue comes out of the blue, and there are countless geniuses in the younger generation.

As long as the Luoyun Sect takes down the Roaring Moon Mountain Range and gets the fourth-tier spirit land, it will surely soar into the sky.

In contrast, the Jade Tripod Sword Sect, which launched the opening war previously, has much less potential.

Fighting power is dominant, only showing temporary ferocity.

Operating with methods, only then can it be continuous.

In this cultivation world in the Eastern Wasteland that can be considered "orderly," being able to fight is the foundation of settling down, but to develop well, you still need some skills.

Luo Chen wants to take the Luo Tian Sect out of the Jade Tripod Domain, actually also hiding this thought.

His alchemy, although it can create great benefits, but the Jade Tripod Domain already has a great alchemy sect, Green Elixir Valley, and the Jade Tripod Sword Sect also has the heart to dabble in this way, and the Medicine King Sect has laid out for hundreds of years.

That is a red sea with fierce competition, only the new domain is the blue sea.

Just like the hidden meaning of Qu Xibai's words.

Hundreds of years later, there might be a grand scene of the Luo Tian Sect launching an opening war under Luo Chen's leadership!

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Suddenly.

Linghu Jie nodded and said: "Following the guidance of the identity token, you can enter the cave to settle down, and in the future, work together to overcome the demon clan!"

A simple sentence made Luo Chen raise his eyebrows.

He thought the other party had some high theory, but he held it for a long time and just said this?

However, he still asked seriously.

"I don't know about the tasks of my sect?"

"The tasks of the Nine Sects Sword Hall are generally divided into three types: patrol, fire fighting, and law enforcement. The routine patrol task was already done before Fellow Daoist Cen of your sect left, and there is still more than a month until the next one. Before there is an emergency task, you can do whatever you want."

So, very good!

The other party is unwilling to say more, Luo Chen naturally will not ask incessantly.

A month or so is enough for him to get familiar with and adapt to life on the front line.

After Luo Chen left, Linghu Jie thought for a while and sent a sound transmission to call someone.

As soon as that person entered the hall, he saluted Linghu Jie: "Han Zheng, I have seen Uncle Master Linghu."

Han Zheng, the grandson of True Person Han Zhan, but the master he worshiped was True Person Cheng Yan.

Therefore, facing Linghu Jie, who was older than his own grandfather, the title was Uncle Master.

Seeing the other party, Linghu Jie showed a kind smile on his sinister face.

"Calling you here is to ask about your understanding of Dan Chenzi, the Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect."

Han Zheng was stunned, "He is here?"

But soon, he reacted and immediately explained: "This person is very strong. When he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, his combat power was outstanding. Even if the nephew is already at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and can control a third-tier puppet. But if he faced him back then, I am afraid the victory or defeat would only be three to seven. I am three, he is seven!"

"He has formed a Jin Dan for more than ten years, I am afraid his strength and means are even more extraordinary."

"Nephew, it is not easy to estimate."

Linghu Jie didn't get an accurate answer, and didn't get angry, but ordered Han Zheng to go to his master, True Person Cheng Yan, to get information about Luo Chen.

For this situation, Han Zheng seems to be very familiar with it.

Taught by his grandfather since childhood, some things, although his realm is low, he sees deeper than many people.

The Nine Sects Sword Hall is nominally a team composed of the nine great Nascent Soul upper sects.

But in reality, it is mixed with many strong people from Jin Dan great sects.

Especially inside, there are some sects that have planned to settle in the Roaring Moon Mountain Range and take root and develop in the future.

Such sects are now arm strength, and in the future, after the Luoyun Sect develops to the limit, they are very likely to become resistance.

To be honest, no upper sect is willing to see another Nascent Soul sect appear on its own territory.

Especially, there are the lessons of the Jade Tripod Sword Sect and the Luoyun Sect.

Therefore, many things were already being done during the opening war.

For example, consciously weakening the potential strength of some sects!

As for how to weaken?

For the Luoyun Sect, which is the leading party, it is very simple, just the difficulty of arranging some tasks.

Just like the Luo Tian Alliance, Jiang Yu's fall and Cen Qiusheng's safety, who knows if there is any trick in it?

You must know that Jiang Yu's strength was even stronger than Cen Qiusheng's!

Now, Uncle Master Linghu wants to deeply understand Luo Chen's strength, I think it is also to prescribe the right medicine later, so that suitable arrangements can be made!

Han Zheng hurried out of the mountain peak where the Sword Hall was located, and got information about Luo Chen from his master, Cheng Yan.

When he was about to go back, he hesitated slightly.

Luo Chen had a life-saving grace for him, if possible, he still wanted to take care of him a little.

But although he has the name of the True Person's grandson, at this juncture, he is also humble and low-spoken. Even more so, he cannot speak rashly and ruin his grandfather's prestige.

"Perhaps, can I ask Uncle Master Mu to make a trip?"

With a thought, he went to the Sect Master's side first.

"Sect Master Uncle Master, is Junior Brother Qin there?"
