Chapter 856: Sovereign Qixia, Yanfu Mountain Falls

"Concerns me?"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment; how could a distinguished guest of the Mingyuan Sect have anything to do with him?

With strong curiosity, Luo Chen stayed on Yanfu Mountain.

Tan Sheng walked out of the Heavenly Nether Palace and came to Luo Chen's side.

"Wait a moment, those guests are still far away, and it will take a while for them to arrive."

Luo Chen was curious: "May I ask who is coming?"

Tan Sheng smiled, "When you see them, you will naturally know."

Alright, keeping secrets even at this time.

Luo Chen was speechless and changed direction to complain.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, your realm is not ordinary, why bother welcoming and sending off guests on this Yanfu Mountain? With your ability, whether you are cultivating in seclusion or sitting in charge of one side, you wouldn't be buried."

Tan Sheng shrugged, helplessly: "I naturally don't want to be like this. But now Yanfu Mountain is in a state of martial law, and all the disciples on the mountain have been sent down; there must be one or two disciples that the ancestors trust and use smoothly to stay by their side."

The words were helpless, but the tone was quite proud.

In the vast Mingyuan Sect, the three ancestors trusted him alone; looking at it, it was a unique honor, but why wasn't it an exclusive honor?

Under the ancestor's grace, perhaps he was the next Chongming, the next Lei Daozi!

This Tan Sheng was relatively simple among the Nascent Soul cultivators Luo Chen had seen.

Not the old Nascent Soul monsters who had experienced many storms in the North Sea or Eastern Wasteland, but instead similar to the batch of newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

All grew up in a greenhouse, lacking tempering.

The so-called competition was mostly within the rules, unlike their fights which were always unscrupulous.

Luo Chen only showed a little goodwill, and Tan Sheng's arrogant attitude disappeared without a trace, becoming much closer.

Using this to pry for information was even simpler.

"Why martial law?" Luo Chen asked with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Tan Sheng hesitated for a moment and whispered: "You should know about the Qinghe Immortal matter, right?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, his heart shaking violently!

Sure enough!

From the powerful pressure released from time to time on the steps of the Heavenly Nether Palace, to the violent waves rolling in the black water pool inside the palace, all were explaining that there was a powerful existence other than the three ancestors.

Now that he had obtained Tan Sheng's confirmation, Luo Chen could finally be sure that the one being suppressed was one of the three ancient demons of the Eastern Wasteland, the Qinghe Immortal!

"A dignified Soul Transformation ancient demon, the end is so miserable. If I hadn't agreed to join the Mingyuan Sect back then, would I have ended up like this?"

Luo Chen asked himself, and soon gave the answer.

Naturally, he wouldn't!

Because with his strength, he didn't need the three ancestors to spend such effort.

Just wipe him out with a flip of their hands!

Thinking about it this way, Ancestor Hei Ze's impolite behavior toward him was already considered relatively restrained?

Just as the two were talking in detail, three streaks of escaping light came from afar.

Tan Sheng went out of the mountain to welcome them, bringing the three through heavy arrays and stepping onto Yanfu.

And Luo Chen, relying on his good eyesight, had already recognized the visitors.

It was indeed related to himself.

They were all acquaintances!

One of the nineteen elders of the Star Gate, True Person Qideng, the head of the Fu family, Fu Chaosheng, and the head of the four elders of the Eastern Wasteland Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, Gu Zuokai.

The three followed Tan Sheng and walked all the way up.

When they stood, they happened to meet the gaze cast down from the mountain, as well as that white-robed figure.

When they stood, True Person Qideng sneered.

"Luo Chen, long time no see!"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, only a bitter smile remained.

"In the Eastern Wasteland, I cannot help myself, please forgive me, Elder."

"Hmph!"

True Person Qideng snorted coldly, waved his hand, and walked straight past Luo Chen, and under Tan Sheng's guidance, stepped onto those high steps and headed toward the Heavenly Nether Palace.

It was Fu Chaosheng and Gu Zuokai, who were getting older, who stayed behind.

The three faced each other, quite awkward.

Gu Zuokai spread his hands, looking like "I said it would be like this."

Luo Chen shook his head lightly, facing Fu Chaosheng's complex gaze.

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see."

Fu Chaosheng said with a complex tone: "It's been a long time, I still remember your heroic spirit when you defeated all the geniuses of the Dao Sect on Heavenly Peak, who could have imagined that in just a few decades, you would be standing on Yanfu Mountain."

Heavenly Peak, Yanfu Mountain, both were the peaks of this world.

The same Luo Chen, the same heroic spirit.

But the camp had already changed!

Luo Chen was still that same sentence, "I cannot help myself, it is not my wish."

"It is understandable, but!" Fu Chaosheng whispered: "You were ultimately the first to enter Heavenly Peak, and you were a person of the Tianyuan Dao Sect first!"

Luo Chen smiled bitterly helplessly.

The identity of a guest of the Star Gate of the Tianyuan Dao Sect was useful everywhere, but it was not useful here in the Mingyuan Sect.

First, the Dao Sect abducted the Pill Saint Chu Yan of the Mingyuan Sect, and now the Mingyuan Sect used the same method to recruit the Pill Sect Luo Chen into their sect; how was this not "you do the first, I do the fifteenth"?

But the Mingyuan Sect could endure it back then, but the Tianyuan Dao Sect might not be able to swallow this breath!

Even if they didn't care about a nameless person like Luo Chen.

"Why is it you three who came today, instead of Dao Sect disciples?"

"Are we not Dao Sect disciples?" Gu Zuokai joked on the side.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "That's not what I meant, just curious why True Person Qideng is the leader, is it because I am a guest of the Star Gate?"

Fu Chaosheng nodded: "Correct, if a representative of the Dao Sect came directly to negotiate, it would be too direct. True Person Qideng's identity is just right; he is one of the nineteen elders of the Star Gate, and his relationship with you back then was considered okay. The purpose of this trip is first to show an attitude that the Star Gate's face must not be damaged, and second, to see if we can bring you back."

"That is naturally impossible." Luo Chen didn't even need to think and gave the answer directly.

If the three Soul Transformation ancestors would hand over a person just because a mere Nascent Soul great cultivator came to ask for someone, wouldn't that become the biggest joke in the Eastern Wasteland?

Not to mention that Luo Chen had already been appointed as the Pill Saint Hall Master in front of everyone earlier!

Now handing Luo Chen over would be repeating the Pill Saint matter.

The Pill Saint was her own choice, but Luo Chen was not.

No one in the Mingyuan Sect would swallow this breath.

"If negotiation fails, then it's courtesy first, then soldiers." Fu Chaosheng said lightly.

In the calm words, there were surging waves.

Luo Chen's expression tightened, "Does the Tianyuan Dao Sect really dare?"

Gu Zuokai on the side said confidently: "There is nothing we dare not do; our Tianyuan Dao Sect is the most powerful force in the entire Mountain and Sea World, and we do not allow any loss of face!"

Luo Chen frowned: "But as far as I know, the Dao Sect is currently attacking the North Sea, and even the Southern Border and Western Desert have dispatched people to move. Do you really dare to make enemies on all sides?"

Fu Chaosheng explained: "We didn't invest much force in the Western Desert, and we only dispatched one Soul Transformation ancestor to the Southern Border. And the North Sea side has already reached cooperation with the great powerhouse Li Canghai; as long as he helps us repel the North Sea Demon Alliance, our Tianyuan Dao Sect promises to give him the Arctic Night Demon Heaven as a cultivation dojo."

Gu Zuokai echoed: "It won't be long before our Tianyuan Dao Sect can free up our hands. If the Mingyuan Sect remains stubborn, I believe the Sect Master doesn't mind starting a war again!"

Luo Chen hissed and took a cold breath.

He really didn't expect the Tianyuan Dao Sect to act so quickly and have such great spirit.

But thinking about it, was it just because of a small person like him?

I'm afraid it's just a name to be famous!

The other party probably has been interested in the Eastern Wasteland for a long time.

If the Tianyuan Dao Sect really succeeds, wouldn't it be a feat of swallowing the Mountain and Sea World?

Fu Chaosheng advised: "Luo Chen, listen to me, it's not too late to turn back now. You can just imitate the old matter of Dragon Abyss True Person joining the Wan Xian Society; it's just a temporary stay, and we will give the Mingyuan Sect a step down."

Dragon Abyss True Person joining the Wan Xian Society was just for training, and it couldn't be considered as switching sides.

If it were this reason, both sides could barely save face. But it was too reluctant!

One side is afraid of coveting the Eastern Wasteland for a long time.

The other side will never allow face to be lost again, even if it is just a little bit of a stain!

Luo Chen exhaled a turbid breath, "Forget it, I can't make the decision here, you two fellow Daoists should stop persuading me. Tell me about your granddaughter, how is Qinglan doing now?"

Seeing that Luo Chen no longer mentioned this matter, Fu Chaosheng was also quite helpless.

If it weren't for his deep relationship with Luo Chen, he wouldn't have made this trip.

However, in the face of the general trend, personal friendship is indeed difficult to pry anything.

He said somewhat gratified: "With your help, Qinglan won the top spot in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven competition, and now she has entered Lanke Mountain for cultivation. She was accepted as a disciple by Ancestor Chun Yuan of Zuo Wang Peak, received the true scripture, and was taught supernatural powers, and her realm is almost at the middle stage of Nascent Soul. After she leaves seclusion, she should go to the outside world for training; when the time comes, if you have a chance, you can meet her."

"Almost at the middle stage of Nascent Soul? This cultivation speed is really a bit fast!"

Luo Chen was also quite gratified; that woman living so well now meant his efforts back then were not in vain.

Fu Chaosheng explained: "Nascent Soul cultivators who have comprehended the true meaning of laws in advance have a cultivation speed far exceeding ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Because they can use the true meaning of laws to pry open heaven and earth spiritual energy, and absorb and refine the spiritual energy most suitable for themselves from it, their cultivation efficiency is thousands of miles a day."

A simple sentence, but it exhausted the doubts Luo Chen had about his cultivation for decades.

Is this the foundation of the number one force in the Mountain and Sea World?

Luo Chen naturally understood this principle now.

If he had also comprehended the fire-attribute true meaning of laws back then, his cultivation efficiency would only be faster than Fu Qinglan's.

But unfortunately, he took a wrong path, which led to him having a vast foundation but walking very staggeringly.

"How about the others?" Luo Chen asked about the past.

He left Zhongzhou quite hastily back then and didn't know the final situation of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven competition.

The information he received over the years was also intermittent because of the Dao Sect's use of troops; one letter from True Person Tianshan was sent after a long time, which was a glimpse.

"The successful ones in the Cave Heaven competition, besides Qinglan, are only Mingyan, Guyuan, and Shiju."

"Mingyan goes without saying; she is the representative of the master-disciple lineage, and Dragon Abyss True Person ultimately made a wedding dress for her."

"The situation of Guyuan, you should have chatted with Fellow Daoist Gu?"

"As for Shiju..." Fu Chaosheng paused and reminded: "You must be careful of this child; he is quite vengeful. You destroyed his thunder clone, this grudge is not easily revealed, especially the Shi family who loves this junior the most."

Luo Chen smiled dumbly, "Then according to what you said, I dare not return to the Tianyuan Dao Sect even more."

Just as they were talking, two figures had already appeared above the Heavenly Nether Palace.

The three stopped talking.

Not long after, True Person Qideng walked down hurriedly.

He was pale, as if he had been frightened, but his overall aura was not much affected.

Even in war, one does not behead the messenger.

Earlier, Chongming of the Mingyuan Sect went to the Tianyuan Dao Sect to observe the ceremony, and he was also unharmed.

Now that True Person Qideng made this trip, naturally there was no danger.

But this pale complexion, it seemed he had faced a great powerhouse and had been severely reprimanded.

True Person Qideng looked at Luo Chen with hatred.

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will meet again, farewell!"

Before the words fell, he had already left in anger and shock.

Fu Chaosheng looked at Luo Chen, his tone complex: "Luo Chen, take care."

Luo Chen opened his mouth, and finally only had one sentence: "Fellow Daoist, take care!"

Tan Sheng looked at this scene with a smile, and when the three were blocked by the array, he said to Luo Chen: "I'll go send them off, Pill Saint Hall Master, just go yourself, and treat the Mingyuan Sect as your own home."

Luo Chen smiled helplessly.

He had another home!

With a complex mood, Luo Chen also left Yanfu Mountain and flew toward the Pill Saint Hall.

One south and one north, two streaks of escaping light, going in opposite directions.

That Heavenly Peak, he ultimately could not go back.

Suddenly!

On Yanfu Mountain, there was an angry shout that exploded across the sky.

"Coming uninvited is being a wicked guest!"

Luo Chen turned around abruptly, thinking it was True Person Qideng and the others who had done something to make the Mingyuan ancestor angry.

But the next moment, a stunning golden fire phoenix soared into the sky!

That golden fire phoenix occupied everything in his field of vision.

Its speed was swift, like a thunderbolt.

Its momentum was violent, like an angry wave.

Wherever it passed, the void exploded inch by inch, permeating thousands of feet of pitch-black cracks.

The strictly defended array of Yanfu Mountain, under this impact, disintegrated in an instant.

Three auras like the power of heaven and earth rose simultaneously, each issuing an attack toward the golden fire phoenix.

Boom!

Only a deafening collision sound was heard, echoing for thousands of miles.

Luo Chen felt that he couldn't hear anything, blood spilled from his ears, his five senses were extremely ferocious, and his strong physical body was torn apart by the impact of the terrifying origin Qi.

In his blurred vision, Tan Sheng, Fu Chaosheng, Gu Zuokai, and even the late-stage Nascent Soul True Person Qideng, who hadn't gone far and were blocking the way, all turned into powder and vanished in an instant!

His brain was filled with alarms, Luo Chen forcibly stabilized his physical body and fled in a panic like a madman.

And in his heart, there was only one answer.

"Sovereign Qixia is here!"

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Amidst the uncomfortable sounds, void cracks danced wildly like black snakes, and vast origin Qi swept in all directions.

And that Yanfu Mountain, which had stood in the nine heavens for three thousand years without falling, crashed down!

Three figures rushed out of Yanfu Mountain like arrows from a bow, blocking in front of a stunning woman in shock and anger.

"Master of Cangwu Mountain!"

"Ancient Demon Phoenix!"

"Sovereign Qixia!"

Facing the sharp questioning, the woman remained unmoved.

In red robes, standing in the sky, her eyes seemed to be contemptuous, or perhaps ignoring.

Unlike the lazy state of waking up that Luo Chen saw on Cangwu Mountain back then, at this moment, Sovereign Qixia was permeated with an overbearing aura that could not be disobeyed.

Her sword eyebrows slanted into her temples, and her eye tails were decorated with three gilded dark-patterned phoenix feathers. When her phoenix eyes were half-closed, they were like an ancient pool reflecting the moon, and when she suddenly opened them, they revealed amber vertical pupils, flashing with needle-like sharpness.

She didn't care about the three of them at all, just cast her gaze onto the falling Yanfu Mountain, and a faint reproach came from her pleasant voice.

"I told you early on not to get involved in Emperor Tian's affairs, otherwise how could you have ended up like this."

Black waves surged on Yanfu Mountain, and a wisp of green light gradually rose.

A weak voice came from inside.

"Qinghe had no intention of competing for hegemony between the two clans, but always had to carve out a place for the Qinghe Spirit clan to rest."

"Overestimating yourself!"

Sovereign Qixia snorted coldly, rolled her large sleeve, and the green light entered her sleeve without any resistance.

Subsequently, on her bright and atmospheric cheeks, her willow eyebrows stood up.

"Now, it's time for this Sovereign to talk to you about the hatred of repeatedly provoking my Cangwu Mountain!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 857 =====
