Chapter 160: The Great River Ghost City, the Fall of Many Cultivators
Chapter 160: The Great River Ghost City, the Fall of Many Cultivators
It was definitely not something to take lightly.
Luo Chen mused a joke to ease the tension, but it didn’t alleviate the pressure he felt.
He could clearly sense that Wang Yuan, who had always been calm and composed, was now under immense pressure after the great battle at the great River Workshop.
WangYuan had always given theImpression of being calm and steady, but the successive Golden Core battles atTheGreatRiver Workshop were putting him under great pressure.
A Spirit Essence Pill wasn’t much, but it could provide significant Support toWangYuan.
He had a substantial foundation and could Cultivate to QiGreatPerfection.
With this Spirit Essence Pill, he could perhaps speed up his Cult ivation significantly.
Luo Chen still had four bottles left, and although they weren’t as potent asWangYuan, they could still be absorbed directly.
But with the Elemental technique, he could also break down and absorb the essence.
After chatting for a while, they made various conjectures and contingency plans for the battle at theGreat river workshop.
But everything was theoretical.
That was a battle that surpassed their capabilities.
So, they could only wait and see the results.
LuoChen foundWang Yuan.
“Can’t just wait. If the result comes out unfavorably, we are sitting ducks!”
Luo Chen nodded, finally agreeing.
“What do you think?”
“I’ll goObserve the surroundings. If there’s a chance to escape, I’ll make the decision.”
“Then… Let’s go!”
WangYuan shook his head, “You mustn’t go.”
“Don’t underestimate me. Fighting isn’t an option, and escaping is still a move.”
Luo chensmiled and moved.
His sudden speed was enough to startle WangYuan.
After all, this was the place whereLuo Chen and Luo Tianhong could sense the speed ofIn the midst of a chaotic cemetery,, ghostly qi, two figures approached with the wind.
WangYuan could sense the profound spirit qi and ghostly Aura.
With his Spirit Eyes, he could faintly discern various shadows.
“Is the battle position disadvantageous?”
Moreover, from these Ghostly Spirits, LuoChen could sense a Flourishing Vitality.
Following this realization, WangYuan understood Why Luo chen came here.
What was the battle about, he was too far away to see clearly.
But with the Changes at the chaotic graveyard, he could glimpse the battle’s shift, which was indeed a favorable Means.
.
Luo Chen sighed and came toWYuan’s side, overlooking the Great river workshop.
The Spirit Eyes perfected could make him see farther and clearer.
With the Moonlit Aura, even from a distance, he could faintly discern some blurry scenes.
“This is the place, a home advantage where the battle prowess is first!”
He was desperately trying!
Almost simultaneously, Luo Chen Wang Yuan made the same judgment.
The next moment, Wang Yuan and Luo Chen both turned around.
The ghost kings who were originally flourishing in the inner city seemed to be swept away by a powerful wind, all at once.
Then, the lush Ghost qi suddenly vanished, leaving behind a significant amount.
What does this mean? Everyone knew.
The three ghost Kings are gone!
Wang Yuan shouted in a low voice, "PangRexing managed to succeed!"
"No, not yet!"
Luo Chen looked into the Great River Workshop.
His face was shocked, and he wore an expression of confusion.
Because the same amount of fiery qi surged into the sword qi, pouring down like a great tripod.
"Sword cultivator!"
"How is there still a sword cultivator!"
"And not helping PangRexing?"
In his shock, that overwhelming sword qi suddenly fell.
With a roar of intense anger, it spread in all directions as the sword qi landed.
"It's you!"
After the roar, it was dead silent.
LuoChen and WangYuan looked at each other, at a loss for words for a moment.
...
A month and a half had passed since the Golden Core Battle in the inner city.
Such a long time was enough to wash away most of the fear in the hearts of the cultivators.
After the great battle in the inner city, the remaining treasures were quickly swept away by greed.
ly.
LuoChen led the group of Cultivators from the Luo Chen Sect, standing in the distance, gazing at the ghost qi-dense City Pool.
"The Golden Core cultivators have come and gone, leaving behind only a ghost city!" he sighed, witnessing the three Late-stage QiCondensation cultivators entering the inner city.
"This is the seventeenth batch entering the inner city?"
"Where are the previous sixteen batches?" Luo Chen asked.
Zhou Yuanli shook his head, "No news."
He frowned, a sense of une creeping forming in his heart.
The three Ghost Kings, indeed, were killed by PangRexing before their very eyes.
But after their death, they were filled with essence ghost qi, almost all remaining in the inner city.
This is three Ghost kings comparable to the Golden Core! Normally, just one would be enough to wipe out the great river workshop and the city pool.
Now, with the essence of the three kings, they would transform this place into a ghostly realm.
Now, it’s like a living person must not enter.
"Wang Brother, it’s said to perfect a ghost-repelling technique to enter the the is to enter the the the the city have the city."
."
"You to the LuoTian Assembly, without high-end cultivation pressure, it’s a bit awkward."
.
LuoChen swept his gaze over the surroundings, occasionally pausing on a few cultivators.
They were all subordinates of major foundation establishments.
The inner City is now in a perilous state, with the City Pool of the Great River Workshop unknown and the Luo Chen Sect in the distance, the ghost qi has spread outward, making progress difficult.
The great river workshop and city pool outside are now in a dangerous state.
The LuoChen Sect is also in trouble, afraid of becoming a Target for Everyone.
The ghost qi outward spread, afraid of the same foundation establishments retaliating, also afraid theNew Cultivators from the Yuanding sword sect coming and wiping out the scattered cultivators.
But LuoChen knew, such peace wouldn’t last forever.
He was also unwilling to leave the Great River Workshop, going to the Yuanding Sword Sect to report his thoughts.
PangRexing was dead, what was he doing here, wasting time and unable to ensure entry into the Yuanding sword sect?
Wasting time on the journey and unable to ensure entry, at least he had sufficient personal freedom.
Most importantly, this was a choice from the heart!
Just as LuoChen was immersed in thought, a loud noise suddenly came from ahead.
He looked up, Seeing the same sword light, turned into a stream of Light Heading toward the Sky.
At the same time, the rest of the Great River Workshop, the Outer Regions, Several Beams of Light Flew Out, chasing after the LuoChen Sect.
The leaders of the major foundation establishments, including the LuoChen Sect, had dispatched several cultivators to investigate the inner city situation.
Li Wanchun said with a sense of injustice, "I only know that at the time, there were no customers in the store, and a powerful pressure swept down, causing me to lose consciousness. When I woke up, the array formation of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had already been activated, and we persisted for half a month before Elder Chu brought us out."
"You all?" Luo Chen's heart stirred.
"Right, a few disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, plus a few local independent cultivators, all came out alive."
"Without any injuries at all?"
After a series of questions, Li Wanchun's spirit had stabilized significantly.
He nodded quickly, "Indeed, there was no major harm. The tower was filled with treasures, and it was protected by a great array formation. Plus, Elder Chu was experienced and took good care of us. We truly did not suffer any injuries. However..."
"Hmm?"
He smiled bitterly, "Elder Chu said that the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower in the Great River Market would likely not be able to restart for a while, so he dismissed us."
Luo Chen frowned, thinking it was some important information.
Just as he was feeling disheartened, the sound of commotion came from ahead.
Looking up, he saw four graceful figures slowly advancing through the ghostly and eerie atmosphere.
"More people came out?"
Luo Chen perked up, hoping to gather some information from this group.
However, the result was disappointing.
The four graceful figures vanished into spiritual light as soon as they left the city.
Only one figure, exuding an overbearing aura, remained.
He did not even glance at the numerous cultivators outside, coldly snorted, and then disappeared into the sky on a colorful cloud.
After he left, the oppressive atmosphere gradually became lively again.
"Is that Senior Hua from the Heavenly Fragrance Tower?"
"It should be him, yes."
"Why didn't we see the other female cultivators from the Heavenly Fragrance Tower?"
"Right, why didn't we see any of them?"
"Hiss, could they all have died inside?"
The last sentence, mixed in with the numerous discussions, was quickly pushed to the center of the conversation.
Everyone had to admit that the once bustling Golden Nest of the Great River Market had likely suffered a complete loss, save for that Foundation Establishment true cultivator.
The four alluring and charming figures that came out were not real people but seemed to be magical treasures or magic artifacts.
The only one who came out was the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Hua.
Thinking of so many charming and lovely female cultivators dying in the ghost city sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"Isn't this senior a bit too..."
"Be careful with your words!"
"A Foundation Establishment true cultivator is not someone we can discuss."
Even though the discussion was quieter, the sorrow and sympathy on everyone's faces could not be hidden.
Especially when the cultivators from the Divine Talisman Pavilion, Spirit Source Hall, Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and Hundred Herbs Hall all came out one by one, everyone had to accept the near-complete loss of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
Even the Spirit Source Hall, which was known for being harsh to its own cultivators, had taken out two local independent cultivators on the side.
This made it clear how cold-hearted the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Hua from the Heavenly Fragrance Tower was.
There was no reason why other major sect shops could protect their workers, but the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, belonging to the Joyful Union Sect, could not.
Not to mention local independent cultivators, there was even a female inner disciple from the Joyful Union Sect who came with the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Hua, but her whereabouts were unknown.
In the crowd, Luo Chen respectfully approached an elder.
"Senior Liu, hello!"
"It's Little Luo. I still prefer you to call me Shopkeeper." Liu Hecai stroked his beard and smiled.
Luo Chen nodded, "Shopkeeper Liu, I want to ask about Bai..."
"Sorry, she is from the Hundred Herbs Hall, and I was at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion at the time. And the Hundred Herbs Hall..."
Following Liu Hecai's regretful gaze, Luo Chen turned his head.
Beside the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hundred Herbs Hall, there was not a single person.
The newly arrived Foundation Establishment cultivator was just as cold-hearted as the one from the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, not protecting a single person from the Hundred Herbs Hall.
He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to say.
A sense of emptiness filled his heart.
"Alas..."
"Perhaps we'll meet again someday!"
Liu Hecai patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, called a few disciples of the Medicine King Sect, and left the Great River Market on a flying boat.
After he left, Luo Chen looked at the ghostly, eerie city in front of him.
A sense of sorrow appeared in his eyes.
In times of great disaster, one cannot rely on others.
He understood this, as did many others.
But the loss of a friend in the ghost city was hard to accept, even for someone like him who was mentally prepared.
Zhou Yuanli was unaware of the relationship between Bai Meiling and Luo Chen.
He walked up and whispered, "Li Wanchun has agreed to join the Sky Ascension assembly. The Spirit Medicine Pavilion and the Hundred Herbs Hall have also left a few local independent cultivators. Do you want to recruit them?"
"You decide!"
Luo Chen waved his hand listlessly.
In his mind, he recalled every time he visited the Hundred Herbs Hall.
That chirpy, lively, and adorable female cultivator was gone.
Although sometimes, like other female cultivators working in major sect shops, she would carry an inexplicable pride.
But after getting to know her, her true heart was good.
Whenever he bought herbs, she would always find the best for him.
Last time, when Qin Liang Chen was reattaching his severed limb, Bai Meiling had done her best to select the best herbs for each one.
For this, she was even punished.
This was something Feng Xia had told him quietly later.
Luo Chen had always felt guilty and wanted to find time to treat Bai Meiling to a good meal to show his gratitude.
But now, there was no chance.
"Brother Li Wanchun, since you are skilled in magical artifact forging, why not join my Duan family and showcase your talents?"
A bold and straightforward voice sounded in his ear.
Luo Chen suddenly turned around!
