Chapter 671

"Brother Bi, what did that strange fellow Daoist want with you just now? Was it the Demon Luo Stream thieves looking for trouble?"

Bi Dan waved his hand, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

"That's not it. That person calls himself Jinghe, and he was a neutral rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm before. Because of the righteous-demonic war, he didn't want to get involved, so he hid in a small place to cultivate. Recently, he successfully formed his Core, and hearing that the righteous and demonic sides had stopped the war, he came back."

"Jinghe?" His companion recited the name, feeling very unfamiliar, almost unable to find anyone to match it with.

Bi Dan smiled: "What he is called doesn't matter; rogue cultivators are all like this, hiding their heads and showing their tails. However, this person has a good friend who was once a disciple of the Gu Feiyun Stream, and he heard that the Gu Feiyun Stream was destroyed, so he specifically came to ask me for details. Truth be told, we can be considered to be sharing a common hatred."

"So that's it!"

His companion suddenly realized, then sighed.

"Who could have thought that the famous Gu Feiyun Stream would be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

Bi Dan also sighed with emotion.

If it weren't for the fact that the master of the Gu Feiyun Stream, True Person Gu Feiyun, had disappeared for decades and there was no one to preside over such a large force, a Nascent Soul sect would not have fallen into such a state.

It's just a pity for my sister...

……

"True Person, I have found out everything clearly."

Sang Jinghe stood respectfully behind Luo Chen, recounting the news he had gathered one by one.

"In order to resolve the internal strife among the human race as quickly as possible, the Canghai Alliance began a massive counterattack thirty years ago, and the Demon Luo Stream, which lost the support of the Penglai Immortal Sect, retreated steadily..."

This matches.

Luo Chen remembered that when he crossed the human territory to go to Purple Spirit Island, he saw that the Canghai Alliance's offensive was extremely fierce.

To deal with the Crack Heaven Stream Master, they even dispatched three Nascent Soul True Persons in one go!

This shows the determination of the Canghai Alliance.

"The Demon Luo Stream cultivators, unwilling to accept defeat, looted wildly before retreating. It just so happened that news of the Fallen Demon Land leaked out, and Gu Feiyun was..."

Speaking of this, Sang Jinghe looked at Luo Chen with awe.

"Continue!"

"Because of the fall of Gu Feiyun, the Gu Feiyun Stream, a Nascent Soul sect force without a master, became the biggest target. Several Core Formation forces led their men to kill their way into the Gu Feiyun Stream, seizing its inheritance, robbing its resources, and to prevent the snake from not dying and suffering retaliation, they were even more insane, slaughtering all three thousand disciples."

"Did no one survive?" Luo Chen asked.

"Naturally there were, but they were all insignificant little people who luckily escaped a disaster."

"What about the Gu siblings I asked you to inquire about?"

Sang Jinghe's spirit lifted, and he said carefully: "I made inquiries as if unintentionally, and in that battle, I didn't see the Gu siblings from beginning to end. Even after the event, there was no trace of them. To ensure the news, I even went to inquire among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the situation was much the same."

"Much the same? How was it different?"

Sang Jinghe was startled, then said: "Someone mentioned the Gu siblings, but it was only a suspicion. It is said that a woman suspected to be Gu Xiaolian appeared at the ruins of the Gu Feiyun Stream, but she disappeared very quickly."

"You may go!"

"Jinghe takes his leave."

On the high building, Luo Chen stroked the railing, tapping lightly, his expression calm.

In his mind, he was recalling the final scene in Ming Zhaotian.

The furious Moon Wanderer, the near-mad Blood Wanderer, and those two gazes that were completely different at the palace gate.

One was a young girl covering her mouth with tears in her eyes, the other was a young man with monstrous killing intent.

He remembered those two; they had met once when hunting the Ring-Necked Turtle in the Xuan Yan Sea area. One was called Gu Shaoshang, and the other was called Gu Xiaolian.

They were siblings.

Their father was Gu Feiyun!

If it were at an ordinary time, Luo Chen naturally wouldn't care; he even killed Gu Feiyun, let alone two Core Formation juniors.

But he remembered very clearly that the siblings walked out of the Light and Dark Halls respectively!

What does this mean?

The answer is beyond doubt.

Especially the golden crown on Gu Xiaolian's head, which undoubtedly matched the True Yang Crown, a demonic monarch's treasure mentioned by the artifact spirit of the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

That was a powerful weapon listed alongside the Refining Heaven Cauldron and the Black Demon Jar as a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.

Gu Xiaolian being recognized by the True Yang Crown in the Light Hall meant she had obtained the inheritance of the Light Hall.

Gu Shaoshang walking out of the Dark Hall meant he had likely obtained the corresponding inheritance.

In this way, their future potential is limitless!

He killed their father right in front of them, and this deep blood feud is an obstacle that can never be crossed.

If he could wipe them out before they grew up, that would be once and for all.

But if he didn't act in advance...

"I originally wanted to make a trip to the Gu Feiyun Stream to find the siblings, but now that the Gu Feiyun Stream has been destroyed, I have no target."

Luo Chen sighed, feeling a lump in his throat.

This feeling of being watched by someone in the dark is never good.

The only slightly better news is that since he came to the North Sea, he has always used an alias, and even his Daoist name is Qingyang Demon Monarch.

The other party does not know his true identity.

After coming out of Long Yuan Island, Luo Chen restored his original name and walked outside under the name of the Desolate Wanderer.

As for his appearance, he had made natural adjustments through his own body-refining technique.

It would be difficult for anyone to connect him with the famous Qingyang Demon Monarch.

"Perhaps, should I continue to show my face under the name of Qingyang Demon Monarch to lure the siblings to come and seek revenge?"

Luo Chen's mind subconsciously flashed this thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

Compared to the threat of these siblings, the name Qingyang Demon Monarch is more likely to attract the Moon Wanderer, and Luo Chen does not want another great escape across the North Sea.

"Forget it, as long as I cultivate well and stay ahead of them forever, they can't do anything to me."

"It's fine if I don't show my face; if I do, I naturally won't be lenient."

……

The rain did not stop.

The massive rain curtain filled the heaven and earth, as if to wash away the blood of the hundred-year righteous-demonic war.

Luo Chen, dressed in white, and True Person Langya walked on the bluestone path, walking step by step toward a side hall in the Mola Court.

The gathering of True Persons in the afternoon would be held there, and True Person Langya had already introduced Luo Chen and obtained his qualification to participate.

At this time, True Person Langya was introducing the backgrounds of the experts who might attend to Luo Chen.

"The number of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Canghai Alliance attending this assembly is not small, as many as seven or eight, but because the leader is the mid-stage Nascent Soul Mu Lan Gaoxiong, the realms of these seven or eight people are not high, at most equivalent to Mu Lan Gaoxiong."

"Don't look at their realms as not high, but basically they are all masters of a region and famous figures in the North Sea cultivation world."

"Like that Four Seas True Person, whose name is Shang Sihai, he has the Four Seas Merchant Alliance under his command, and his power is quite large. Within the merchant alliance, there are two more early-stage Nascent Soul guest elders. It can be said that the Four Seas Merchant Alliance itself is an extremely powerful force within the Canghai Alliance. This time, he is the one pulling the strings for the Canghai Alliance."

"You should have heard the name Old Ghost Nanqi."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Is that the old monster who was once refined into a Soul-Refining Banner by a Yuan Demon Sect cultivator, and then counter-attacked his master and stole his cultivation?"

"Correct! Fellow Daoist is indeed knowledgeable, not an ordinary rogue cultivator."

True Person Langya smiled, then his expression became solemn. "The true background of this person is very likely from the Southern Border, and he is good at using Gu insects. After all, how could an ordinary cultivator be refined into a Soul Banner and not only be unharmed but also have his cultivation greatly improved?"

Old Ghost Nanqi, a Southern Border cultivator?

Luo Chen nodded slightly, noted the description of this person's appearance, and decided not to have much contact with him in the future.

"Lady Mi comes from..."

"Mu Lan Gaoxiong should not come to participate in this gathering, his side..."

"The elder of the Heaven Origin Merchant Alliance has not shown his face much recently, but it is said that he is very keen on making friends with fellow Daoists, and he may show his face this time."

As he spoke, True Person Langya changed the subject and introduced those from the Demon Luo Stream who might arrive.

"The Nether Fire Stream Master will definitely appear! He is the Stream Master who was seriously injured at the hands of the furious Mu Lan Gaoxiong years ago. This gathering of True Persons is also initiated by him, and his purpose should be to seek resources to resolve his injuries."

"This person originally had extremely strong combat power, and at his peak, he was on par with Mu Lan Gaoxiong. After that battle, not only was he seriously injured, but his prestige within the Demon Luo Stream also plummeted, and his own power shrank significantly."

"There is another woman named Du Feiyan, and you must also be careful with her, Wanderer; she is the only woman among the twelve Stream Masters of the Demon Luo Stream. Being able to rank among the demons, her ability must not be underestimated."

"I don't need to say much about the Crack Heaven Stream Master; he was the most prominent person in the hundred-year righteous-demonic war. Although his realm is only at the third level of the Nascent Soul, his wind-attribute cultivation technique is fierce and unparalleled. He comes without a trace and goes without a shadow, and his fighting ability is absolutely not inferior to those at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. To deal with him, the Canghai Alliance once dispatched three Nascent Soul True Persons in one go, but still could not take him down."

"Most importantly, he is one of the few people within the Demon Luo Stream who is very close to Blood Nightmare Demon Luo. Now that Blood Nightmare Demon Luo has become a stray dog, his days within the Demon Luo Stream are very difficult. Logically speaking, he should be biding his time, but I don't know why he would take the initiative to participate in this gathering."

One after another, names that were like thunder in the North Sea cultivation world fell into Luo Chen's ears, making his heart feel cold.

In the past, these figures were like stars in the sky.

Now they are about to appear in front of him one by one, and for a moment, he felt a little excited.

But soon, Luo Chen calmed down.

He can participate in this meeting, which means he is the same kind of existence.

He naturally will not look at these people with an upward gaze.

Especially, Nascent Soul True Persons?

He has fought them, and even killed them!

There is no need to be overly cautious!

While the two were whispering and walking leisurely, the bluestone path had already been walked.

A spacious red jade square instantly came into view.

Under the dim rain curtain, this red jade square became quite oppressive.

At this moment, lights of escape were coming from all directions, sweeping across the red jade square and flying into that palace.

Guiyuan Palace!

It is said that in the past, this palace was used by Blood Nightmare Demon Luo to house those remnants of the Yuan Demon Sect who defected to him.

No one expected that Blood Nightmare Demon Luo would personally refine these younger disciples into Blood Gods.

It is as if the red color of this square was stained by the blood of those Yuan Demon sect members.

"Let's go in too; everyone should be arriving soon."

True Person Langya said, and was about to move.

But he found that Luo Chen was motionless, staring calmly at the sky.

True Person Langya followed his gaze and looked in that direction.

Two figures were standing in the rainy sky, staring this way.

"That is... Crack Heaven Stream Master!"

Immediately, True Person Langya's expression changed slightly. "Why is he walking with Old Ghost Nanqi?"

Just then.

Crack Heaven Stream Master stepped forward, looking down at the two from above, his gaze fixed on Luo Chen.

His eyes were contemptuous, and the corners of his mouth were thin and sharp.

"Nowadays, all kinds of cats and dogs are popping up, and even a nobody dares to dream of sitting at the same table as us."

True Person Langya frowned. "Crack Heaven, you have gone too far. The Desolate Wanderer is my friend, and his participation in this gathering was agreed upon by Four Seas True Person."

"Shang Sihai? This is not his Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and it is not up to him to decide. Mei Yiqi, your good-natured personality, do you want to stand up for him?"

"You!"

True Person Langya's expression was ugly, and he raised his finger.

Before the words could come out, he was pressed down by Luo Chen behind him.

Luo Chen stepped forward and looked calmly at the gloomy man in the sky.

This targeting was too unprovoked!

He said lightly: "Crack Heaven, what do you intend to do?"

Crack Heaven Stream Master pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "In the vast North Sea, I have only heard of the Blood Wanderer, the Moon Wanderer, and the Mad Wanderer; I have never heard of any Desolate Wanderer. What ability do you have to dream of being ranked with them?"

"What ability do I, the Wanderer, have? Do you want to see it?"

"I do!"

Before the word "do" could fall, the rain curtain between heaven and earth stopped suddenly, and a sharp, unparalleled momentum tore through heaven and earth!

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his white shirt fluttering in the violent wind, and a fierce and domineering momentum rose like a raging fire.

True Person Langya retreated a few steps, his expression worried.

In the Guiyuan Palace, the Nascent Soul True Persons who had already arrived naturally sensed the sudden eruption of the two auras.

They all extended their spiritual sense to look.

Seeing that it was Crack Heaven Stream Master causing trouble, they were all speechless.

This person's perverse temperament is rare even among Nascent Soul cultivators.

It is no wonder he could get close to fellows like Blood Nightmare Demon Luo.

However, venting the anger accumulated during these days of negotiation onto a newly promoted Nascent Soul rogue cultivator is truly going too far.

"That guy named Luo Chen is going to be unlucky."

"He deserves to be unlucky. Now that the Blood Wanderer is hunting his friend Blood Nightmare Demon Luo all over the world, Crack Heaven Stream Master doesn't dare to provoke the Blood Wanderer, but taking his anger out on this so-called Desolate Wanderer is always fine."

"Why take such a name? He has the confidence to be ranked with the three great wanderers. I saw the Moon Wanderer once years ago and was amazed; now she has achieved the late Nascent Soul stage, one step away from Soul Transformation..."

Ignoring the people in the hall who were looking down on him.

One of the two initiators of this gathering, Four Seas True Person, had an ugly expression.

He looked at the sickly red-haired old man opposite him and said coldly: "Nether Fire, are your people going a bit too far?"

The sickly red-haired old man raised his eyelids and said casually: "Crack Heaven, you cannot fight at the assembly to end the conflict; don't make everyone unhappy."

The words were light, but they spread like thunder.

This was his way of defining the matter; as long as they didn't fight, it was fine.

And if that Desolate Wanderer performed too poorly, he would naturally have no face to continue participating in this gathering.

He knew Crack Heaven Stream Master's thoughts well.

Old Ghost Nanqi looked at Crack Heaven Stream Master opening his Nascent Soul domain with a smile, roughly guessing the other party's thoughts.

In the hundred-year righteous-demonic war, Crack Heaven Stream Master made many enemies.

His friend Blood Nightmare Demon Luo became a stray dog.

It can be said that he was isolated both on the Demon Luo Stream side and the Canghai Alliance side.

Especially in the negotiations of the assembly to end the conflict, there were several agreements targeting him, making him pay compensation.

Under these circumstances, Crack Heaven Stream Master had to show his toughness to facilitate bargaining in subsequent negotiations.

Targeting the Desolate Wanderer was not venting anger, but killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

So be it!

If he wanted to get that thing, he had to rely on Crack Heaven; if anyone blamed Crack Heaven later, he would just say a few good words.

And at this time, Crack Heaven Stream Master, as the person involved, felt that strange feeling again.

His dislike for Luo Chen was definitely not without reason.

Perhaps because of the rogue cultivator name, or because he wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but the real reason he decided to target Luo Chen was the familiar feeling in his heart.

"I have definitely seen him somewhere!"

"Since you want to use a fake name to hide yourself, then I will force you to reveal your true self and see who you really are!"

With his mind set, his Nascent Soul opened its eyes, and his magic power surged, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a violent Nascent Soul domain.

Countless wind-attribute spiritual energy gathered from all directions, pressing down on the white-clothed cultivator.

He was very confident that under the suppression of his Nascent Soul domain, Luo Chen, who was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul, would absolutely not be able to resist.

If he still wanted to participate in this gathering, he would have to reveal some clues.

But the next moment, Crack Heaven Stream Master's eyes widened!

A large amount of spiritual energy gathered, forming two major Nascent Soul domains, one blue and one red.

The originally powerful blue Nascent Soul domain not only failed to suppress the red domain, but instead retreated steadily as the other side continued to rise.

Not only that, Crack Heaven Stream Master could even feel that the wind-attribute spiritual energy he was controlling was being melted and collapsing.

Even if he mobilized his magic power again and again, this collapse could not be stopped at all.

The originally paused heavy rain curtain fell again amidst the collision of the blue and red domains.

However, each raindrop, due to the high temperature, turned into boiling, terrifying steam, sweeping toward Crack Heaven Stream Master.

"How bold!"

Crack Heaven Stream Master waved his sleeve, fanning away the scorching steam, and a flying sword appeared in his hand.

"Crack Heaven."

Nether Fire's listless voice came again.

Crack Heaven Stream Master took a deep breath and had to put away his flying sword.

On the red jade square, Luo Chen smiled slightly, and the Forest Fire Prison flashed and disappeared.

"I concede!"

"Hmph, Desolate Wanderer, is it? I'll remember you!"

Crack Heaven glared at Luo Chen and flicked his sleeve into the hall.

Old Ghost Nanqi looked at Luo Chen deeply before entering, quite surprised.

Not only them, but even the Nascent Soul True Persons in the hall were unbelievable.

Crack Heaven Stream Master, at the third level of the Nascent Soul, had lost to Luo Chen, at the first level, in a domain collision.

In the silent hall, a light sigh came.

"From now on, there will be a legend of the four great wanderers in the North Sea."
