Chapter 649: Three True Cultivators Reunite, War Resumes
Chapter 649: Three True Cultivators Reunite, War Resumes
"Faster!"
"Even faster!"
"Just a little faster!"
His heart urged him on, and his wings trembled with all his might.
A giant figure, nine zhang long, sped along the boundary between the Sinking Sea and the Autumn Yang Sea, where the clear and turbid waters met. Occasionally, a booming sound would tear through the sky, and the next time he appeared, he would be a hundred zhang away.
From time to time, the scattered cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly would look up at this sight, initially thinking that a powerful Demon King was approaching. However, the dense fluctuations of spiritual power confirmed that it was a human cultivator.
They couldn't understand why this person was flying so fast, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye and already several li away.
As they stared in a daze, he was already thousands of li away.
Relying on the Heavenly Peng True Body's ability to cover ninety thousand li and occasionally using the Explosive Sky Step, Luo Chen finally put some distance between himself and Three Pillars Canyon.
Boom! A strong wind blew, and the peng bird directly crashed into a solitary peak in the sea.
After the smoke and dust settled, Luo Chen emerged from the damaged peak, his face slightly pale, not due to depleted spiritual power, but from being startled.
Suddenly, why would the Demon Emperor appear in the Sinking Sea, and from the most unlikely direction of the human territory?
"The most unlikely direction!"
Suddenly, Luo Chen's expression changed drastically.
Along the horizon, he gazed into the distance at a particular location.
There, according to rumors, was the North Sea Forbidden Land - the Arctic Nightmara Heaven!
"How is this possible?"
"Aren't the two great formations there said to be able to suppress high-level monsters for thousands of years?"
Muttering to himself, Luo Chen seemed reluctant to believe it.
But the scene he witnessed just before leaving Three Pillars Canyon left him no choice but to believe.
A handsome and demonic man had just descended, silently killing over a thousand scattered cultivators, and then with a single palm, he ruthlessly sank three towering peaks that reached the heavens.
Even Dao Lan, as seen from the corner of Luo Chen's eye, was struck down into the Sinking Sea by him.
Luo Chen recognized this ability as the power of the Heaven and Earth Domain, which both cultivators and monsters would master upon advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!
That man must be a Nascent Soul demon cultivator!
"I can't stay in the Sinking Sea any longer!"
Without further hesitation, Luo Chen, after catching his breath, took a deep look at the direction of Three Pillars Canyon and then waved his Broken Moon Wings, flying towards Taiping Fortress.
...
That night.
Luo Chen and Shen Tu stood outside a grand hall.
Both of them had solemn expressions, discussing in low voices.
"Are you sure?"
"Luo Chen would never lie. You can verify the details when the others return."
There were survivors from Three Pillars Canyon besides Luo Chen.
Besides him, there were also Chang Fengzi and two others.
Not only that, but because he had used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to hunt monsters and clear the area, he had also allowed some scattered cultivators to leave Three Pillars Canyon early.
The commotion at Three Pillars Canyon was so great that those scattered cultivators who had left early should have noticed something. They just weren't as fast as Luo Chen in returning to Taiping Fortress.
The First Defense Line's Golden Core cultivator, Shen Tu, stared intently at Luo Chen, finally nodding slowly.
"This is a top priority for the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly. I'm sure the Demon Lord isn't joking. Since that's the case, we are now in a wartime state. Please proceed, Demon Lord!"
Luo Chen's heart relaxed, and he cupped his fists in a salute to Shen Tu.
"Luo Chen will take his leave first. Take care, fellow cultivator!"
Shen Tu gave a wry smile, returning the salute, "Demon Lord, please go ahead. Remember to report the situation to the Demon Hunting Bureau, and I'll inform the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly."
Luo Chen acknowledged with a sound, then flung his sleeves and strode into the grand hall before him.
Inside, he presented his Five-Star Monster Hunter identity token, voluntarily demonstrating his spiritual power and divine soul to prove his identity.
Then, holding the token, he stood on the high platform in the hall, under the watchful eyes of the formation masters.
As the light shone brightly, Luo Chen's figure twisted within it.
When the light faded, the intricate platform was empty, with no trace of the Daoist.
Outside the hall.
The massive Taiping Fortress seemed to awaken from its slumber, emitting a rumbling vibration.
One by one, the formidable cannon barrels extended from the fortress's cannon ports.
Not only that.
In the Autumn Yang Sea, a strong wind blew, and the waves rose to the sky.
A super formation was ready to unleash its power!
Under the night sky, Taiping Fortress stood tall amidst the raging winds and waves, silently awaiting the arrival of its enemies.
...
In Dragon Abyss Immortal City's Demon Hunting Bureau, seven cultivators sat cross-legged on a high platform in a heavily guarded hall, boredom evident on their faces.
"Is this the fifth month? How much longer until the next rotation?"
"It's been five months. We're on a six-month assignment."
"Why the hurry, Xu Daoyou? Although guarding the teleportation formation is a tough task, this place has second-tier, high-quality spiritual energy concentration, an ideal environment for our cultivation. Why rush to end the assignment?"
Guarding the teleportation formation was a difficult task in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, requiring the stationed cultivators to remain immobile for months on end.
However, it was also a rewarding task, as they could enjoy high-quality cultivation resources without any cost.
This type of mission is usually inaccessible to ordinary people, as it requires a certain level of expertise in array formations and passing an assessment to qualify.
Even before taking on the task, one must receive specialized training in the corresponding array formation knowledge.
The Xu-surname cultivator sighed, "This little black room, I can't stand being cooped up here for so long. Other than during my Foundation Establishment, I've never secluded myself for such a long period in my entire life. And you don't know, a new shop has opened in Dragon Abyss Immortal City, tsk tsk, that shop..."
As he spoke of the new shop, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Inside, there are top-grade beauties trained by Warm Jade Pavilion! Do you know Warm Jade Pavilion? It used to be a Golden Core-stage major sect that cultivated high-quality furnace cauldrons for the Yuan Demon Sect."
"Besides beauties, they also have fine wines from the Southern Frontier. Oh, and there's a top-class spirit chef who can cook all kinds of delicacies. The ingredients they use are either spiritual plants from the Tusang Sect or black golden dragon carps from Penghu. They even manage to procure some ingredients from the Canghai Alliance and the Mo Luo Sect."
"Ah, this transmission hall, I, Xu, don't want to stay here for another day!"
Just as he let out a long, loud cry, expressing his frustration, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the high platform in front of him.
The other six people were startled for a moment.
"At this late hour, who's still using the transmission array?"
Despite their confusion, they acted swiftly.
Each of them held a small array plate, infusing it with their spiritual power to activate it.
Seven-colored light, like silk, flew out from the array plates and landed on the high platform.
In an instant, the entire hall, including the high platform, merged into one, enveloped by a powerful aura.
Luo Chen, who had just emerged from the high platform, frowned at this sight.
Before the others could ask any questions, he raised his hand and presented his identity token.
Among the seven people, the leading Foundation Establishment-stage senior cultivator took out a diagram.
Comparing the two, the information immediately appeared.
【Five-Star Demon Hunter - Luo Hai】
Who is Luo Hai?
Is there such a person in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly? The seven people looked at each other in confusion.
On the high platform, Luo Chen let out a light snort, "I, Qing Yangzi, won't let you pass?"
As soon as the name Qing Yangzi was mentioned, the seven people trembled and quickly dispersed the array formation.
After the pressure enveloping them completely dissipated, Luo Chen calmly stepped down from the high platform and directly left the transmission hall.
Once the main gate closed again, the seven guard cultivators began to chatter.
"That's right, I did hear that Qing Yangzi's surname is Luo. I didn't expect his real name to be Luo Hai. I almost offended him just now."
"How do you know his real name is Luo Hai? In the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, most wandering cultivators use aliases, and they often introduce themselves by their Daoist names. It's possible that Luo Hai is also a pseudonym."
"That's true, but according to rumors, the Master of Penghu is indeed wealthy. He even uses the transmission array for travel. This thing, even for a short-distance transmission, costs a million spirit stones for a one-way trip!"
"That's why he's the Master of Penghu, renowned among the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly!"
"My focus is different. Didn't you notice that when Qing Yangzi stepped out of the array, his expression was as calm as ever, with almost no change at all! You should know that when we occasionally receive Golden Core-stage elders for transmission, most of them stumble, and a few even feel nauseous and vomit, unable to control their spiritual power."
"Sigh, you're right about that."
"The Master of Penghu is truly unfathomable he is!"
...
While they were still discussing Qing Yangzi, those outside who had seen Luo Chen were already filled with awe, addressing him as "Demon King."
Over the past year, Luo Chen's deeds on the Sinking Sea battlefield had gradually spread, especially among the wandering cultivators who worked in the Demon Hunting Bureau for a long time and had a deeper understanding.
As Luo Chen walked forward, he sensed that the atmosphere within the Demon Hunting Bureau was still peaceful.
"Could it be that the news from Taiping Fortress hasn't returned yet?"
As he hesitated, he saw three senior cultivators with solemn expressions.
Old Fisherman, Purple Empress, and Ghost Spirit Child!
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, apart from Dao Lan, there were three Eight-Star Demon Hunters.
Upon seeing Luo Chen, Old Fisherman spoke first.
"We'll wait for the three True Persons to arrive before explaining the details."
So they had already been notified!
Luo Chen nodded and found a chair to sit down.
It wasn't long before a gust of wind was heard from outside.
The three of them followed the sound and looked outside, only to see a flash of blood light that landed on the middle chair among the three above.
"Old Fisherman pays respects to the True Person!"
"Purple Empress pays respects to the True Person!"
"Ghost Spirit Child pays respects to the True Person!"
Luo Chen stood up abruptly and bowed respectfully, "Luo Hai, pays respects to the True Person!"
"Hmm, you may rise."
A deep voice came from above.
Luo Chen straightened up and subconsciously looked up.
A tall and robust figure sat there.
His features were resolute, with a full beard, and his eyes shone with vigor.
Wearing a blood-red robe without any other colors, his burly body exuded boundless power.
An aura of wild and domineering arrogance emanated from him.
His eyes, filled with disdain, glanced at the crowd, seemingly looking down upon them yet also ignoring them.
This was none other than the Blood Scatterer, one of the three renowned hermits of the Northern Sea. Was it really Pang Bu Jue?
Luo Chen's heart trembled, and his expression became even more respectful.
The Blood Scatterer glanced at him and spoke directly.
"So, Qingyangzi, tell us about the situation in the Sinking Sea!"
Luo Chen was startled, thinking that they would wait for the other two to arrive before discussing the matter. He didn't expect the Blood Scatterer to be so impatient.
He quickly recounted the details without any delay.
When he mentioned the demonically beautiful man with an otherworldly aura, the Blood Scatterer's firm face showed a thoughtful expression.
"Is it him?"
Before the Blood Scatterer could ask further, the wind blew outside the door again.
The crowd instinctively turned their heads, and they saw a young Daoist with a topknot walking towards them.
"Hermit, it's been a long time."
The Blood Scatterer looked at him and nodded slightly, "Dragon Abyss, please take a seat!"
It turned out to be the Dragon Abyss True Man, who had just emerged from his seclusion. This was his first appearance in front of the world after ending his seclusion.
With the arrival of Dragon Abyss, the last person...
Under the moonlight, a woman walked gracefully, and the cool moonlight shone on her simple and rustic moon-white Daoist robe, making her seem like an immortal descending from the moon palace.
Her face was exquisite, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her eyes shone like stars.
The slight trembling of her eyelashes revealed a sense of detachment from the mortal world.
However, the two bulging objects on her chest, which were as round as melons, completely shattered the cool and detached atmosphere, making her appearance passionate and enchanting.
Further down, her slender waist and long, plump thighs were so captivating that just a glance would make anyone's mouth water, regardless of gender.
The combination of coolness and passion, detachment and allure, created a unique charm.
Two completely different auras merged into one person.
Perhaps, in the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, or even the entire Northern Sea, there was only one person with such grace.
The Moon Scatterer!
Luo Chen dared not look at her too much and quickly lowered his head, greeting the newcomer together with the crowd.
"Pay respects to the Moon True Man!"
The Moon Scatterer didn't even look at them, and she barely glanced at the Dragon Abyss True Man. Instead, her gaze fell directly on the sturdy man in the center.
"Pang Bu Jue, you're finally back?"
The Blood Scatterer snorted coldly, "This Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly was founded by me. I can come and go as I please."
The Moon Scatterer chuckled softly, her laughter carrying a hint of allure. It seemed to stir the souls of those who heard it.
"You couldn't hold it in any longer, could you!"
Her words were filled with a playful smile. She gracefully took her seat.
The Blood Scatterer didn't pay attention to the mockery in her words and directly informed the Moon Scatterer and the Dragon Abyss True Man of the situation that Luo Chen had just reported.
After absorbing the information, the Moon Scatterer glanced at Luo Chen and then slowly nodded at the Blood Scatterer.
"If Qingyangzi is right, then he should be the Flow Lord."
The Blood Scatterer nodded, "Among the Incarnated Demon Cultivators in the Northern Sea, the one with such outstanding appearance, as far as I know, is only him."
The Flow Lord, the royal member of the Mermaid Clan!
The Moon Scatterer spoke softly, "This person is not a problem. Either of us can handle him. However, the trouble lies in the Nightmara Heaven."
The Blood Scatterer was unconcerned, "We are both lone wanderers, roaming the four seas. Even if the seal of the Nightmara Heaven is truly broken, we can simply leave. What's the trouble?"
The Moon Scatterer smiled lightly and glanced at the person beside her, "I'm afraid Dragon Abyss won't agree with that."
After taking his seat, the Dragon Abyss True Man, who had been silent all this time, remained calm and composed, which didn't match his youthful appearance at all.
"Do our best, and don't force it."
The Moon Scatterer pouted, not arguing with him.
"Let's discuss how to handle the situation in the Sinking Sea first! In my opinion, we should inform the three families of Wuzhong Valley, as well as the righteous and demonic sides, and even the Spirit Origin City, about the corresponding situation."
"These matters have nothing to do with me!"
The Blood Scatterer waved his hand and stood up from his seat.
"The Flow Lord, the royal member of the Mermaid Clan, destroyed the Three Pillar Canyon, obviously intending to use the power of the Sinking Sea to break the formation in the Nightmara Heaven. This process may be long, or it may be short, but we must not let him ruin my plan."
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Sinking Sea and slay the Flow Lord!"
"Old Fisherman, you three choose people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, then hurry to the Sinking Sea and slaughter all those beasts!"
The Moon Scatterer watched this scene and smiled, agreeing, "Then I'll lend a hand as well. The three families of Wuzhong Valley have been at ease for so many years; it's time for them to take action."
The Blood Scatterer turned around, took a deep look at the woman, and finally nodded slowly.
"Agreed!"
With these words, the four Golden Core Cultivators below realized something.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly had officially entered a state of war!
