Chapter 730: The heart to plot against me never dies!
The sunlight outside the house was scorching, and the figures in the hall were sparse.
But although the number of people was small, the momentum emitted by each other was like a vast ocean, making it difficult to breathe.
Luo Chen just swept a glance, revealed a smile, and walked in generously.
Facing that surging momentum, he had no feeling at all.
Because he was also a Nascent Soul True Person, no longer a junior who had to be trembling in front of Nascent Soul cultivators for fear of saying the wrong word.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, please take your seat!"
City Lord Lingtian pointed his hand, making an invitation gesture.
And the position he pointed to was precisely the first seat on the left in the hall, only below him.
Such importance made people look sideways.
But no one questioned it; just the hand Luo Chen had shown earlier in refining Old Ghost Motian's life-bound True Treasure in an instant was enough to be worthy of this seat.
Luo Chen sat down calmly.
The atmosphere in the hall eased slightly after he sat down, and with a loud laugh from City Lord Lingtian, it relaxed even more.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you have returned to the Eastern Wasteland not long ago; I think you are relatively unfamiliar with the people and things here. If you don't mind, let this City Lord introduce them to you!"
Luo Chen had already learned from True Person Xianhe that this City Lord Lingtian was a hero-like figure with a warm temperament and wide friendships.
It was precisely because of this personality that the Mingyuan Sect let him serve as the City Lord of Lingtian Pass to command the heroes.
At this moment, as the host, he had the intention to introduce him, so Luo Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Troubling the City Lord."
"Haha!"
City Lord Lingtian laughed heartily, and then his right hand pointed to an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
"This is Old Man Fu, the Old Ancestor of the Divine Talisman Sect; you should have heard his great name."
Was it the master of the Divine Talisman Domain of the Extreme East Six Domains back then?
Luo Chen cupped his fists. "Old Man Fu's great name was already resounding in my ears when I was still a rogue cultivator."
Old Man Fu had been staring at Luo Chen with curiosity, and now hearing Luo Chen's praise, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile lightly.
"I have just lived a few hundred years more. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Luo... you became famous less than a hundred years ago; at that time, you were only at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. "Old Man Fu has heard my story?"
"The number one Foundation Establishment person in the Yuding Domain, I have heard a little. Now it seems that seeing is better than hearing. Achieving the Nascent Soul realm at the age of two hundred, your genius is rarely seen in the world!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone in the hall changed color.
Gazes couldn't help but fall on Luo Chen's extremely young face.
Yes!
Although Luo Chen's eyes were deep and his temperament was weathered, he was no different from them, but that overly young face and sharp momentum were still out of place with everyone in the hall.
Such demeanor can only be possessed by the peerless genius in the rumors!
Luo Chen welcomed everyone's gaze generously.
From the moment he planned to return to the Eastern Wasteland, he had already made preparations in all aspects.
He could have used an old face to cover up some things.
But there was no need!
As long as those with intentions dig, they will always know the years he achieved the Nascent Soul Great Dao; covering up would instead seem petty.
On the contrary, the more outstanding he appeared, the more it would make certain petty people lurking in the shadows feel constrained.
"Just surviving a great disaster and having great fortune, that's all!"
Luo Chen said this, both humble and implicitly pointing out something.
Sure enough!
Old Ghost Motian, who was pale, asked impatiently: "How did you survive from Cangwu Mountain and escape?"
Luo Chen glanced at him without explaining.
Everyone just thought he was annoyed by Old Ghost Motian's secret move against Wang Yuan earlier, so he didn't want to answer.
City Lord Lingtian introduced others at the right time.
"Great Palace Master of Fenghua Palace, Fairy of Fenghua!"
The real name of the Fairy of Fenghua had long been forgotten by the world; after she became the Supreme Elder of Fenghua Palace, she inherited this Daoist title.
At this moment, looking at the gaze Luo Chen cast over, she was about to say something, but saw Luo Chen stand up first and bow solemnly to her.
"True Person Luo, this is..."
"Luo thanks the Fairy for taking care of the Luo Tian Sect cultivators while I was away."
Hatred is hatred, and grace is grace; Luo Chen has always distinguished them clearly.
Even under the gaze of everyone, bowing to thank someone didn't make him feel inferior.
Everyone also discovered that under the sharp and ruthless heart, this Luo Chen was not unreasonable.
Seeing this, City Lord Lingtian was even happier.
"On the Lingtian Pass side, there are five Nascent Soul True Persons stationed all year round. When encountering an enemy attack, they can summon fellow Daoists from the five domains; sometimes it can even reach more than ten people. It's a pity that many fellow Daoists are not here today, otherwise I would definitely introduce them all to you."
"This one, like you, Fellow Daoist Luo, is a rare cultivation genius in the Eastern Wasteland. Now, at less than three hundred years of age, he has condensed the Nascent Soul and stepped into the Supreme Sword Dao."
Just as City Lord Lingtian pointed to a middle-aged man who looked gloomy, as if he were a dust-covered treasure sword, Luo Chen laughed.
Although his temperament had changed greatly, his appearance still had a few familiar shadows.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, have you been well?"
Lin Qingxuan, the number one Foundation Establishment person in the Yuding Domain before Luo Chen, often hung at the top of the Yuding Genius List in the Foundation Establishment stage.
After Luo Chen achieved Core Formation, the two met during the opening war.
It's just that as Luo Chen went to the Great Snow Mountain side, the two hadn't seen each other at all.
A hundred years later, the Yuding Domain was lost, and the Yuding Sword Sect was torn apart.
Lin Qingxuan followed the remaining sect members to wander and survive with difficulty.
Perhaps it was because he saw too many people around him die, his sword heart became clearer, and his sword Dao progress was even faster.
As of now, he had fought out the name "Sword Realm Lone Goose" in countless battles between the demon race and the human race!
Facing Luo Chen's greeting, his expression was complex, and there was also a bit of curiosity.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, a hundred years have passed, but you are truly impressive!"
Luo Chen smiled. "The name 'Sword Realm Lone Goose' reached my ears when I arrived at the Bai He Domain. Fellow Daoist Lin, you are no less impressive."
Bai He Domain!
Lin Qingxuan's expression changed slightly, and he took a deep breath. He looked straight at Luo Chen.
"Regarding the battle at the Great Snow Mountain back then, what exactly happened? Please, Fellow Daoist, clear up my confusion!"
The only Nascent Soul cultivator of his Sword Sect—True Person Yuding, was chased by the Demon Emperor Master Qing Shuang from the Great Snow Mountain for eighty thousand miles, and finally beheaded under Jilei Nine Mountains.
It was also from that time that the Yuding Sword Sect began to fall into an irredeemable decline.
Facing this question, Luo Chen lifted his robes and sat down directly.
"The events of that year were like a ball of tangled hemp; it couldn't be cleared, and it couldn't be explained. Although I have some knowledge, due to my realm at that time, what I know is only the tip of the iceberg, so how can I clear up your confusion?"
Lin Qingxuan frowned; he heard Luo Chen's perfunctory meaning.
Does he really not know?
Or is it because he previously sent his sect member Hong Ling to participate in the Luo Tian Sect internal strife, and he was unhappy, so he deliberately didn't say it?
But now, whether to say it or not is not up to Luo Chen.
He looked at City Lord Lingtian.
City Lord Lingtian didn't seem to notice his gaze at this time, but asked Luo Chen: "The remaining two fellow Daoists, I think there is no need to introduce them, right?"
The remaining two were True Person Shenhuo and Old Ghost Motian.
Luo Chen nodded.
He didn't need an introduction, but clearly those two wouldn't let it go.
Old Ghost Motian said hatefully: "Today, Luo Chen ignored the rules and forcefully broke into the dueling platform. Not only did he ruin the Ten Decisive Duels, but he also killed Yin Sixiang and destroyed the life-bound True Treasure that I have refined for hundreds of years. For this matter, I ask City Lord Lingtian to make the decision and let Luo Chen give an explanation!"
"I haven't pursued you for bewitching people and messing up my sect, yet you are accusing me first." Luo Chen's eyes were full of evil, staring at the old guy. "What's more, the ones who broke the rules first were you!"
Old Ghost Motian slapped the table directly. "Full of sophistry, glib-tongued! Your Luo Tian disciples received the grace of the Five Elements Divine Sect and were protected for thirty years. Later, they were ungrateful and turned to Fenghua Palace. Put this kind of thing anywhere, and you can't say a reasonable word!"
Luo Chen didn't give in. "Then what does it have to do with your Motian Cliff?"
"You!"
Old Ghost Motian pointed at Luo Chen with his right hand, almost unable to control his trembling, his lips trembling, and his beard shaking.
He looked at the red-robed old man beside him with red eyes.
"Shenhuo, say something!"
Being so out of control, he is unworthy of being a True Person of a generation!
But everyone thought that his life-bound True Treasure was destroyed and his heart and mind were damaged, so they couldn't despise him for being unable to control his emotions in anger.
Moreover, the main purpose of this small gathering at the City Lord's Mansion today, apart from Old Man Fu, the Great Palace Master, and others wanting to take the opportunity to get to know Luo Chen, was to solve the matter of the "Ten Decisive Duels."
Facing the angry words of his ally, True Person Shenhuo, who was angry because his favorite disciple had died, was surprisingly calm at this moment.
"Sixiang's defeat is due to his bad luck."
"Luo Tian's reversal is just a case of each flying away when disaster strikes."
"But all of this has caused my Divine Sect to lose all face. This grievance, Shenhuo cannot decide, but my sect's Old Ancestor will definitely personally find Fellow Daoist Luo to ask for an explanation!"
When True Person Shenhuo spoke, Old Ghost Motian was even more incredulous.
But after the last sentence was spoken, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
The others were even more solemn.
Five Elements Divine Sect, Old Ancestor Shenyuan, that is a Great Cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage!
If he comes forward personally, no matter how arrogant and domineering Luo Chen performed earlier, in the huge gap of realm, he is just a clown.
Regarding this.
Luo Chen stood up laughing.
"Haha, Luo is waiting for your Old Ancestor to find me! Now I have something to do, so I won't chat with you guys."
After saying that, he bowed to City Lord Lingtian, Old Man Fu, and others, and walked toward the door.
During this process, no one stopped him.
Especially City Lord Lingtian, who had a look of appreciation.
When the man walked to the door, he suddenly turned around.
"After I clear up the trivial matters in the sect, I will set up a banquet. At that time, I ask everyone to give me some face and come over for a cup of water wine."
*Creak... *
The door opened, and the sunlight spilled in again.
The man returned to the daylight, walking calmly and openly.
Only the people in the hall looked at each other.
City Lord Lingtian smiled and replied.
"I will definitely attend the banquet!"
At the West City Gate behind Lingtian Pass, a cloud chariot flew into the sky after passing the inspection.
"Longyu, I'll leave the control to you."
"Hmm, hmm, I haven't seen most of the formations on this cloud chariot; it doesn't seem to be the style of the Eastern Wasteland!"
Min Longyu was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but explore the unfamiliar formations on the Six-Imperial Flying Cloud Chariot.
Although he was more surprised by Luo Chen's return, he understood that it was not his turn to reminisce, so he had to divert his attention.
Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly called him.
"You this..."
He pointed to his head.
Min Longyu subconsciously touched his hair, silver-white, withered and dry.
For cultivators who are not old, this is extremely rare.
Min Longyu is not very old, over two hundred and sixty years old, at the early stage of Core Formation.
The key is that the Luo Tian Sect has always had a tradition of refining Beauty-Fixing Pills, so he shouldn't be this old.
Min Longyu smiled freely. "I was obsessed with researching formations and accidentally became like this; it's nothing serious."
After speaking, he went on his own.
Looking at his back, Luo Chen opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.
What kind of mental effort would it take to make a cultivator who has taken a Beauty-Fixing Pill have white hair and a withered appearance!
Sighing, Luo Chen paced to the railing, his eyes looking at the scenery passing by below, his heart rising and falling.
"According to the news from Zhaowu, the eldest disciple of the Bai He Sect, most of it is fragmented words, but from those fragmented pieces of information, I also know what kind of effort Wang Yuan spent to keep the Luo Tian Sect."
"Sword Realm Lone Goose is not the main enemy!"
"Old Ghost Motian's True Treasure was destroyed, and he is bound to hold a grudge against me. But he was originally an enemy on the surface; since I offended him, I offended him to death, and I don't regret destroying his True Treasure with the Withered-Prosperous True Fire. Instead, he should be glad that I didn't kill him!"
"The Five Elements Divine Sect actually willing to protect the Luo Tian Sect for decades?"
"Just now, that guy Shenhuo deliberately didn't pursue my arrogance; there must be a plan."
"Combined with what Youquan, the Deputy Palace Master of the Duozhen Hall of Cangwu Mountain, said back then, after she searched the soul of Jin Buque, she learned that the old guy from the Five Elements Divine Sect was trying to use my five-spirit-root constitution to reverse-refine the Yuan-Embryo Dao Body, so as to advance to the Soul Transformation stage."
"Now it seems that the heart to plot against my constitution never dies!"
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
If returning to the Eastern Wasteland is the thing that worries him most, there are only two things.
One is the accountability of the holy land Mingyuan Sect of the Eastern Wasteland, and the other is the old immortal at the late Nascent Soul stage of the Five Elements Divine Sect.
The former, he has already made preparations, waiting for the holy land to send people at any time.
And the latter...
He once plotted against him back then, and later formed a lineup of three major Nascent Soul cultivators to attack Cangwu Mountain, and even after he disappeared, he wanted to control the Luo Tian Sect and wait for him to take the initiative to join.
Now, True Person Shenhuo's ambiguous attitude explains everything.
"Perhaps the current me is still not a match for a Great Cultivator. But as long as the preparations are in place, he won't dare to make a move on me on the surface."
"And if he attacks secretly... then I also want to try, is the Divine Sect secret technique powerful, or is my Withered-Prosperous Divine Fire even better!"
Suddenly, Luo Chen's narrowed eyes opened, revealing a bit of tenderness.
A beautiful figure walked out from inside the cloud chariot.
"Don't you want to see him?"
"No, take him back and let Sima Hui Niang deal with him!"
"Sima Hui Niang she..." The woman sighed and leaned gently on Luo Chen's shoulder. "These hundred years, have you been well?"
Luo Chen rubbed the woman's head, and the faint fragrance between the woman's hair entered his nostrils.
"I have returned; naturally, everything is well."
The cloud chariot rode the clouds and crossed the mist, passing through thousands of mountains and rivers.
Two figures stood on it, leaning against each other, just as intimate as they were back then. ===== CHAPTER 731 =====
