Chapter 426: Petty Rascals, How Dare They Cause Trouble in Yan Meng!

Tian Xingzi's visit was unexpected.

However, Luo Chen didn't seem surprised.

It wasn't that he had anticipated Tian Xingzi's arrival, but even if it wasn't Tian Xingzi, it would still be a Falling Cloud Sect cultivator from the Treasure Bazaar.

What gave him such confidence was naturally the Century Lightning Essence that he was going to auction.

This rare material was a deadly temptation for Core Formation Cultivators!

If he had to say, he still didn't understand it well enough before.

But seeing Feng Ming from Ailao Mountain, disregarding status and seniority, and even wanting to associate with Luo Chen just to buy more Century Lightning Essence, it was evident.

It could even be said that it wasn't just Core Formation Cultivators!

Even Nascent Soul Masters, if they encountered it, would likely not let go of such a treasure.

And Tian Xingzi's arrival was clearly for the Century Lightning Essence.

"Your sect wants it and plans to buy it in advance?"

Tian Xingzi spoke frankly, not intending to beat around the bush.

"Our Treasure Bazaar, aside from exchanging resources and earning Spirit Stones and intelligence, is mainly for the high-ranking members of the sect to collect corresponding resources."

"The Century Lightning Essence is very good!"

"You set a price!"

However, Luo Chen shook his head with a smile.

"Sorry, I plan to sell this Lightning Essence, but it must be sold through an auction."

Tian Xingzi's eyebrows furrowed.

An auction, they were confident they could win.

But that way, it would not only cost more, but also easily lead to unexpected twists and turns.

So, he privately visited Luo Chen, wanting to intercept it in advance.

But Luo Chen insisted on auctioning the Lightning Essence.

This...

"Not only that, but it must also be marked that this Century Lightning Essence came from Yan Meng! And furthermore, spread the news that Yan Meng has more Century Lightning Essence."

Tian Xingzi's face showed bewilderment.

He looked at Luo Chen with suspicion and suddenly asked, "Do you want to cause trouble for Yan Meng?"

"Don't you?" Luo Chen countered, "If you don't kill the snake, you'll suffer its harm. You've caused them so much harm, do you think Yan Meng will let it go so easily?"

Tian Xingzi coldly snorted, "Yan Meng is not a traditional sect, it's just an alliance formed by loose cultivators, with no cohesion. If we slaughter them, so be it. Moreover, my Falling Cloud Sect is an Upper Sect of Nascent Soul, do they dare to talk about revenge?"

"Hehe..."

Luo Chen chuckled, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, who's to say Yan Meng won't produce a brilliant and outstanding person in the future, like your Falling Cloud Sect's Han Zhen True Person. Shouldn't such a danger be eradicated in its infancy?"

In the cultivation world, there were always strange tales of revenge and sect revival.

Looking at the recent rise of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and the Falling Cloud Sect, it was all because of talented individuals or a generation of geniuses.

If one were to take it to the extreme, what Luo Chen was doing now, wasn't it a backlash for Yan Meng not taking decisive action against the Luo Tian Association in the past?

Tian Xingzi hesitated.

He spoke with hesitation, "This kind of matter isn't for me to worry about. Moreover..."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Moreover, our sect's sudden move has already made the other sects in the Jade Cauldron Domain like startled birds. Even if we want to target Yan Meng subsequently, we can't resort to force."

"You can't, but I can!"

Luo Chen suddenly spoke with a high-spirited tone, "This junior is unworthy, and I have a deep grudge with Yan Meng. Why not let me be your sword and uproot Yan Meng!"

"You?" Tian Xingzi looked at Luo Chen with suspicion.

Luo Chen nodded firmly, "Yes, me! I've even taken out something as good as the Century Lightning Essence to enhance Soulbound Magical Treasures, which shows my determination for revenge."

Tian Xingzi looked at him with a thoughtful gaze.

He knew a lot about Luo Chen's grudge with Yan Meng.

It was already considered an irreconcilable grudge!

Luo Chen was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet Yan Meng had repeatedly sent two Golden Core Masters to try to kill him.

In the vast Jade Cauldron Domain, perhaps only Luo Chen received such treatment.

But they still hadn't succeeded in killing him.

Luo Chen, of course, held a deep grudge.

For Yan Meng, Luo Chen's survival was a great humiliation.

Luo Chen now used the Century Lightning Essence as a lure, enticing Core Formation Cultivators from outside the domain to target Yan Meng, which was entirely reasonable.

Suddenly,

Tian Xingzi laughed to himself.

"Your words are indeed powerful, and I almost fell for them."

"My visit this time is for the Century Lightning Essence, not to discuss a plan to eradicate Yan Meng with you."

Amidst his smile, he felt a chill.

Luo Chen's schemes were becoming deeper and deeper.

Even he almost fell into Luo Chen's trap.

Perhaps, his visit this time was already within Luo Chen's expectations.

After all, the one who gave Luo Chen the Treasure Bazaar token, the embroidered ball, was him operating in the Grand Market. The other party deliberately used the ball as a lure, clearly intending to entice members of the Falling Cloud Sect.

As he felt a chill, a camellia flower with silver flecks appeared in Luo Chen's hand.

"What is this?"

Tian Xingzi exclaimed in surprise, "You still have a Century Lightning Essence?"

Luo Chen smiled smugly, "I didn't say I only had one! After all, I was the first to explore the Soul Transformation Relic, and although I didn't obtain other things, I did manage to get a few Century Lightning Essences."

Just as he said, the Century Lightning Essences in his hands were indeed numerous.

There were only eighteen Century Lightning Essences in existence.

But the number of Century Lightning Essences and ordinary Lightning Essences was indeed substantial.

Of course, one should not flaunt their wealth.

Luo Chen tried to downplay it, "I don't have many Century Lightning Essences left. I've already given some to the Ice Fortress and Ailao Mountain. These two were originally meant for my Core Formation and the preparation of my Soulbound Magical Treasure. But to deal with Yan Meng, I can't afford to be stingy."

Tian Xingzi nodded, "Do you plan to sell this one directly?"

"Yes!"

"At what price?"

"Barter!"

"As expected, tell me what you want, and I'll see if I can gather it."

Luo Chen didn't hesitate at all. He had already prepared for this.

"I want the insights and experiences of Core Formation Cultivators using the Lock Pearl Curtain Secret Art."

"I want the specific intelligence from your recent attack on Yan Meng."

"Lastly, I want the Treasure Bazaar to release a message during the auction of the Century Lightning Essence. A month later, a powerful enemy will seek revenge on Incense Fragrance Valley!"

Tian Xingzi frowned, "You're asking for too much!"

Luo Chen shook his head and said calmly, "It's not too much. A Century Lightning Essence is worth this price. If you don't believe me, you can ask your sect's True Person."

Tian Xingzi fell silent.

After a while, he reluctantly glanced at the Century Lightning Essence.

"Wait for my news!"

"I'll await your good news!"

Luo Chen flipped his wrist, and the pale silver Century Lightning Essence flower entered his storage pouch.

...

In a guest house in the Immortal City.

After seeing Tian Xingzi off, Luo Chen welcomed three distinguished guests.

Qiu Daopure and Che Xiang.

Both Elders were at the early Golden Core stage and held the position of Grand Elders in cultivation families. They were also vassals of Green Cauldron Valley!

Luo Chen had heard of these two.

Especially Che Xiang, who had recently achieved Core Formation. It seemed that he had formed his core after Luo Chen participated in the Dao Seed competition. When Tao Wan was still a Daoist, he had personally attended Che Xiang's Core Formation ceremony.

However, the third person was somewhat unexpected for Luo Chen.

Danyangzi! If Tao Wan had come, he wouldn't have been surprised.

After all, for such a major matter as dealing with Yan Meng, Green Cauldron Valley had entrusted Tao Wan with the responsibility.

But the one who came was this generation's Senior Brother, Danyangzi, which was beyond Luo Chen's expectations.

Without explaining his doubts, Danyangzi directly asked about Luo Chen's progress.

Luo Chen replied confidently, "Everything is going according to plan. I've already contacted the Ice Fortress and Falling Cloud Sect, and I've gathered a group of powerful loose cultivators. We're just waiting for the moment to crush Incense Fragrance Valley and annihilate Yan Meng!"

Danyangzi asked in confusion, "Why didn't you contact Ailao Mountain? They are the true enemies of Yan Meng."

"If you've already said this, why should I take the initiative to contact Ailao Mountain?" Luo Chen countered.

Danyangzi suddenly understood.

Looking at Luo Chen's confident and composed demeanor, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, then we'll wait for your call to arms."

After saying this, he left with the two Elders.

As he watched their departing figures, Luo Chen blinked.

This Danyangzi, his cultivation speed was impressive.

It had only been ten years since the Dao Seed competition, and he had already reached Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection.

Although he had been at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment for a long time, his cultivation speed seemed to surpass even Tao Wan's.

It was unclear whether it was due to his exceptional talents or if Green Cauldron Valley had provided special resources for him.

"But this is good news for me. With one more expert, our chances of victory will be even greater."

"Next, I just need to wait for a reply from the Ice Fortress, the Treasure Bazaar auction, and a response from Falling Cloud Sect."

"I hope everything goes smoothly!"

...

On the streets of Heaven Fire Immortal City.

Despite the great calamity that Yan Meng had suffered, the nearest Immortal City not only didn't decline but became even more bustling.

The new faces indicated that those who had flocked to Heaven Fire Immortal City were not locals.

The cunning and vicious gazes made the locals aware that these newcomers were not friendly.

Danyangzi and the two vassals of Green Cauldron Valley, both at the Golden Core stage, walked down the street.

A soundproof barrier enveloped the three of them. Unless a higher-level cultivator intentionally probed, there was no need to worry about anyone overhearing the soundproof spell cast by the two Golden Core Elders.

Che Xiang curiously observed the local customs and manners.

This was his first time out since achieving Core Formation.

However, this was something he couldn't refuse.

Previously, he had used the excuse of consolidating his realm, avoiding the battlefield at Jilei Mountain in Qingdangu, but this time, he should contribute in some way.

In his ears, Qiu Daopure and Danyangzi were conversing.

"You didn't even need to come. Little Ming's grudge, I will personally avenge him."

"Little Ming is my younger brother. He died at the hands of a Yan Meng cultivator, and I can't let anyone else take care of his vengeance."

"Sigh..."

Qiu Daopure sighed as he looked at this distant relative.

Despite having a promising future, he had lost his position as a Daoist due to his younger brother.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do to infuriate Qingdangu and have your Daoist position stripped from you? I heard that you gave a cultivation method that only a Daoist could practice to Little Ming?"

Facing this question, Danyangzi evaded the answer.

Qiu Daopure didn't press further.

As the atmosphere turned awkward, Che Xiang, who was beside them, brought up a topic.

"I've been in seclusion for many years, and I didn't expect Jade Cauldron Domain to be brimming with talents. Just strolling through Heavenly Fire Immortal City, I've seen numerous Late Foundation Establishment juniors. Tsk tsk, isn't it said that a civil war would destroy decades of talent in Jade Cauldron Domain?"

Qiu Daopure was unconvinced, "The strong survive, and those who died were merely insignificant. Moreover, many of the cultivators currently in Heavenly Fire Immortal City are from outer realms, not from our Jade Cauldron."

"Is that so?" Che Xiang exclaimed.

But soon after, he shook his head.

"As you said, the strong survive, and those who remain are geniuses. In my opinion, Luo Chen is truly extraordinary. To unite various parties with his own strength, he indeed has a grand ambition."

Qiu Daopure hummed, "Luo Chen has done so many significant things, and his current confidence and ambition are only natural."

"Indeed!" Che Xiang sighed, "He's so young, and his future is so bright. If he succeeds in Core Formation, he might even have a chance to glimpse the Nascent Soul stage."

"I don't see it that way."

Che Xiang looked at Qiu Daopure with confusion.

Danyangzi was also puzzled.

Although he had a regular relationship with Luo Chen, he still had some admiration for this peer who was slightly better than him in alchemy.

He believed that without any restrictions, his alchemy skills were no less than Luo Chen's.

But in the end, he had lost.

In his opinion, with the assistance of the Ice Fortress, Luo Chen still had a high chance of succeeding in Core Formation.

Facing the doubts of the two, Qiu Daopure said indifferently, "Success comes from confidence, and failure also comes from confidence. Doing so many things that don't match his realm at such a young age, he's already become a bit arrogant."

Che Xiang disagreed, "Arrogant? I don't think so. If I were at his age, renowned in Jade Cauldron, and had slain Golden Core cultivators, I'd probably be even more conceited than him. From my brief observation just now, he still has some restraint."

Danyangzi also spoke up, "I often hear about his deeds within the sect. The elders in the sect praise him, unlike what you're saying, Uncle Qiu."

Facing their differing opinions, Qiu Daopure didn't want to argue.

In the end, he only said,

"I think he's in a dangerous situation now, so it's best not to get too involved."

...

Ten days later!

Luo Chen received a piece of good news.

Tian Xingzi, representing Falling Cloud Sect, had reached a cooperation agreement with Luo Chen.

In exchange for his personal Core Formation insights on the Upper Method Core Formation Secret Art, "Lock Pearl Curtain," and intelligence, he obtained a Century Lightning Essence from them.

At the same time, Heartless Immortal personally came to Heavenly Fire Immortal City and agreed to help him. She even stayed nearby to provide protection.

Additionally, Luo Chen received relevant information about Ailao Mountain from Xing Zonghan.

They had indeed started to target Yan Meng from various aspects.

Especially in the Blackwater Swamp area, Yan Meng had completely retreated, willingly giving up the resource-rich land that produced rare materials like Black Devil Mud Swamp and Mud Trace to Ailao Mountain.

"I knew it, when a whale falls, all things thrive. Yan Meng's decline is evident, and the other major sects won't remain indifferent."

Luo Chen was thrilled.

Holding the intelligence from Falling Cloud Sect, he gazed into the depths of Heavenly Fire Immortal City with distant eyes.

"The black market auction is taking place tonight, right?"

"This auction will be the final straw that breaks Yan Meng."

"Qin Taoran, how you treated me back then, it won't be long before I repay you in the same way."

"I wonder how you feel now, can you still remain calm and composed?"

Just as he muttered to himself,

In his eyes, a burst of fireworks blossomed.

Boom! A mighty force exploded in the depths of the Immortal City.

"Petty rascals, how dare you cause trouble in Yan Meng!"
