Chapter 855: The Battle Ceases, and She Disappears (Thanks to the generous silver alliance reward from Elder Gu Jiuxing!)
Great Green Mountain.
At the Luo Tian Grand Hall square.
Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing towards the direction of Heaven Ascending Pass.
Ling Fengzi and Emperor Butcher stood on either side of him.
Li Yingzhang, Wang Yuan, and the other Golden Core cultivators stood behind them.
Following Luo Chen's gaze, the group also looked towards Heaven Ascending Pass, but their faces were filled with bewilderment.
What had happened?
They didn't know, so they could only wait for Luo Chen to speak.
After staring for a long time, Luo Chen finally spoke slowly.
"Hei Wang, did you sense anything?"
As a wild beast, Hei Wang had the innate ability to absorb spiritual energy from the heavens and earth while in a deep slumber.
Over time, he became sensitive to the energy of the primordial Qi, which was a higher level of spiritual energy.
When the old demon, Shen Yuan, came to Bai Li Qing Chuan and spied on Great Green Mountain, it was Hei Wang who discovered it first!
When asked by Luo Chen, Hei Wang replied with some fear, "Yes, I did sense something. Just now, the primordial Qi of the entire Windflower Region became turbulent. Even the spiritual energy of Bai Li Qing Chuan was greatly depleted."
To be able to control the primordial Qi of an entire region from such a great distance, this kind of ability could only be achieved by a Nascent Soul cultivator!
For a Nascent Soul cultivator to use such means, the opponent must be of the same cultivation level!
Have the Nascent Soul cultivators at Heaven Ascending Pass started fighting?
Hei Wang was a bit curious. Although the master was strong, he didn't have such a keen perception of the primordial Qi.
Especially after the great battle that took place here, the spiritual energy was extremely turbulent, and others were oblivious to it due to the environment.
But the master had almost simultaneously sensed the disturbance in the primordial Qi.
Luo Chen didn't explain this point.
Even he himself had only vaguely grasped this perception ability three days ago.
However, he didn't need to explain anything to Hei Wang. Instead, he asked without turning his head, "Emperor Butcher, you looked strange just now. It seems like you've discovered something. Why don't you tell everyone about it?"
Emperor Butcher was startled and didn't want to speak.
But facing Luo Chen's back, which was unguarded yet as tall as a mountain, he hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
"It should be my father who made a move."
Luo Chen nodded. As someone close to the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian, Emperor Butcher's words were likely to be accurate.
So his own senses and speculations were probably correct.
The others were still in the dark, and when they heard that the Supreme Elder's new spiritual pet's father was the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian, they were all shocked.
They might not know the honorific titles of the three ancestors of the Abyss Sect, but who in the Eastern Wilderness didn't know the name of the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian?
He was an existence comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator!
He was the evil culprit who plunged the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world into war!
It was because of this demon that the once prosperous Luo Tian Sect had to leave their homeland and fall into such a state!
Now that such an existence had personally made a move, what would happen at Heaven Ascending Pass...
Ling Fengzi's face showed relief. It was fortunate that he had joined the Luo Tian Sect and didn't stay in that great battlefield.
When such an existence made a move, even the aftermath would be beyond what they, as Nascent Soul cultivators, could handle!
"The battle has stopped!"
"Huh?"
Luo Chen repeated without turning his head, "The Mountain Peace Lord has stopped!"
Hei Wang also nodded on Luo Chen's shoulder, "Yes, it has indeed stopped. The primordial Qi in the Windflower Region is no longer turbulent, indicating that they didn't really start fighting over there."
Ling Fengzi hesitated and asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?"
Luo Chen waved his sleeves, "Do nothing, and don't send anyone to interfere at Heaven Ascending Pass. Just guard the mountain gate. Emperor Butcher, come with me!"
After Luo Chen left with a gloomy-faced Emperor Butcher, the others seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, some people still didn't understand Luo Chen's decision.
S
Li Yingzhang spoke in a low voice, "It's not that we don't trust the Supreme Elder, but the Luo Tian Sect is too small. If we don't obtain frontline intelligence in advance, it will be difficult to make a decision on whether to fight or flee. Is doing nothing really the best option?"
S
Li Yingzhang hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Send one or two disciples to Heaven Ascending Pass to investigate. Even if there's a risk to their lives, it will be a contribution to the sect."
"
Li Yingzhang opened his mouth but instinctively looked at Ling Fengzi.
This person had just announced his decision to join the Luo Tian Sect.
Moreover, the Supreme Elder had given him great treatment, allowing him to set up a separate hall to continue the Piao Hua Sect's legacy.
The others also instinctively looked over.
Facing everyone's gazes, even those with lower cultivation levels than himself, Ling Fengzi's expression became unnatural.
"Ahem!"
"Don't look at me. I was able to survive in the hands of the Seven Rhino Demon Emperor, but I've exhausted my spiritual power, and it hasn't recovered yet."
"But don't worry, I still have familiar friends at Heaven Ascending Pass. I'll ask them later!"
S
"Then we'll wait for the good news from the Second Elder!"
Ling Fengzi twitched his mouth, feeling helpless inside.
Previously, he had praised the cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect as exceptional, but now, these exceptional individuals were harmonizing their moves against him.
Oh well!
Since he had joined the Luo Tian Sect, it was time to do something meaningful.
...
Inside the grand hall.
Luo Chen looked down at Di Tu, who stood below.
"Do you know about Lord Ping Shan's plan to take action?"
"Yes."
"Is it because of the Devouring Beast that transformed into a Chang?"
"Yes."
"Does Lord Ping Shan truly value a Chang that much?"
"Gao Chang is different from ordinary Chang. It's a beast, and a rare ancient species. It seems to be specifically designed to target Qi Condensation cultivators, with an extreme appetite for devouring cultivators' Dao fruits. My father once said that this realm doesn't favor our demonic and human cultivators' excessive pursuit, so it gave birth to such beings, intending to destroy everything. If he can promote this Chang to the Nascent Soul stage, it might be able to dominate the five continents and unify the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
Luo Chen showed a moment of dismay.
He had heard a similar theory from Lei Daozi, but the latter had always concealed something.
At this moment, as Di Tu narrated, Luo Chen finally understood the terrifying background of the Chang named Gao Chang.
His eyes blazed as he stared at Di Tu, and within his spiritual sea, a massive divine soul pressed down on a strand of soul blood.
Under Luo Chen's gaze, Di Tu's body trembled slightly, as if life and death were in the other's hands.
"Master, I didn't lie at all!"
Luo Chen slowly released the suppression, deep in thought.
Di Tu, feeling relieved, heaved a sigh, only to realize that his back was soaked in cold sweat.
The feeling of having one's life controlled by others was truly terrifying.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the hall.
"If Lord Ping Shan knew you were enslaved by me, would he come to kill me?"
"He would, father is..."
"You're lying!" Luo Chen said in a low voice.
With a thought, Di Tu felt his brain shake, followed by intense pain.
He couldn't control himself and fell to the ground, clutching his head.
Golden fur appeared on his body, as if he was about to lose control and reveal his true form.
Luo Chen stared coldly at this scene. Although he had seemingly released the soul suppression, he had been observing Di Tu's reactions.
After asking that question, Di Tu hesitated for a moment. Then, after his soul violently fluctuated, he gave an answer.
This wasn't an instinctive reaction!
So, he was lying!
After a moment, Di Tu, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, knelt on the ground.
"Master, he probably won't come to save me."
"How so?" Luo Chen asked, then added, "I hope you won't deceive me again. That soul flag standing on Baili Qingchuan, you must have seen it too. Our sect has some expertise in tormenting souls."
Di Tu swallowed, feeling it.
"I dare not, I won't dare again!"
"Then explain it."
Di Tu sighed and slowly narrated the past.
"My father's true form is a white tiger with an extreme killing intent. Since childhood, he has been fighting in the Eastern Wilderness' million mountains..."
The Ancient Demon Emperor Tian's true form was a white tiger, with an extreme killing intent.
Without any help, he slowly carved out a realm in the Eastern Wilderness' million mountains, achieving the status of an ancient demon.
During this process, his killing intent gradually subsided due to the threat from the human race, and he shifted towards a more strategic and ambitious path, eventually unifying the Eastern Wilderness' demon race.
During this time, he had three children.
The eldest was Huang Man, one of the nine overlords.
This demon had mixed bloodlines and didn't inherit Emperor Tian's talents, but he did inherit Emperor Tian's early killing intent, earning Emperor Tian's favor.
Emperor Tian even said in front of many powerful demons, "This child is like me!"
The third child was born after Emperor Tian reached the Nascent Soul stage and was the son of his favorite concubine, Jin Xiu Xian.
She was a "female"!
Di Tu referred to her as his "sister."
This demon was born with extraordinary signs, possessing pure white tiger blood and a pair of wings on her back, marking her as extraordinary from birth!
Emperor Tian adored her and protected her, even keeping her hidden from outsiders, secretly raising her in a secluded paradise.
In comparison, Di Tu wasn't as fortunate.
As the second child, he neither received his father's attention nor his favor. Moreover, due to being born later, he was suppressed by his older brother and couldn't establish his own power base.
Of course, with the backing of "my ancient demon father," Di Tu still had a decent life among the demons, and few dared to provoke him.
Unfortunately, that was in the demon realm.
In this human-demon war, he had wanted to make a name for himself and volunteered to capture Luo Chen.
But who would have thought he'd encounter such a formidable opponent!
After hearing these stories, Luo Chen finally understood why the son of the ancient demon was so weak in battle.
Unlike the eldest son who was valued, and unlike the youngest daughter who was favored, he had a powerful and influential father who shielded him from the wind and rain. Perhaps his cultivation could be advanced with the abundant resources provided by his father, but his character had fallen far behind.
As for strength?
With such a weak character, how much strength could he exhibit, even with a higher cultivation?
Moreover, Luo Chen had never feared anyone in a battle of equals]. We must persist, no matter what.
"Father, stop. It's probably a mighty cultivator from the Abyss Sect. With the war stalled, he must be busy and won't care about me, an unaccomplished son."
Di Tu knelt on the ground, looking aggrieved.
"He probably won't come to save me."
Luo Chen showed a thoughtful expression.
After a while, Luo Chen said, "You guard this Great Green Mountain for me!"
Di Tu was stunned, not understanding his intention.
...
The next day.
Outside the Windflower Palace's mountain gate, stained with blood, a large group of visitors arrived.
Before the disciples guarding the mountain could react, they saw a familiar face.
"Meng Shijie, you're back!" Meng Qin'er saw the guardian disciple and couldn't help but reveal a radiant smile, grabbing the other's hand.
"Xiao Ke, you're safe and sound, and Shijie is relieved."
Xiao Ke Shimei nodded excitedly, "I'm glad you're still alive too."
After a brief reunion, Xiao Ke Shimei looked at the group of people outside the mountain with confusion.
"They're from Luo Tian Sect, why are they all here?"
Meng Qin'er's face turned solemn, "The spiritual veins in Baili Qingchuan have been destroyed, causing spiritual energy fluctuations. It's not suitable for habitation for a while. So, they want to borrow Windflower Palace for a temporary stay."
"This..." Xiao Ke Shimei's face showed a look of difficulty.
Meng Qin'er patted her hand, which had a claw mark, "Don't worry, you can't make this decision. I'll report it to Shizu, and she'll make the final call."
Only then did Xiao Ke Shimei relax.
"Then Shijie will go up the mountain first. I'll take care of the Luo Tian Sect's Shixiong."
Meng Qin'er hummed in agreement and rode her escape light, entering the mountain gate.
Before long, the figure of the Windflower Fairy appeared at the mountain gate.
A personal welcome!
From a distance, Luo Chen sent a gift.
Thud!
A huge headless deer corpse fell to the ground.
"Luo Tian Sect's cultivators wish to borrow your precious land for a temporary stay. This small gift is a token of our sincerity."
The Windflower Fairy's eyebrows rose, "Luo Xiong, you're being too polite!"
Luo Chen smiled, "We are indeed imposing on your hospitality. Moreover, my sect has borrowed Baili Qingchuan for so many years, and now a demon king's corpse is really nothing."
"I truly can't accept this gift!" The Windflower Fairy's face turned solemn, "Previously, Luo Xiong lent us two great spiritual pets to help me calm the Windflower disaster. This favor far surpasses my small gestures."
Seeing that Luo Chen still insisted on giving the gift, the Windflower Fairy waved her hand.
"Xiao Ke, Qin'er, why are you still standing there? Quickly welcome the Luo Tian Sect's Shixiong into the palace!"
This meant agreement!
Then, she looked at Luo Chen and gracefully extended her hand as an invitation.
"Luo Xiong, please come in!"
Luo Chen was startled but no longer insisted, and they entered the treasure land of the Windflower Palace's mountain gate.
Wherever they passed, although it was also in ruins, female cultivators could be seen everywhere, tidying up. It seemed that it wouldn't take long for the place to regain its vitality.
This is the advantage of a major sect!
The spiritual land is vast, and the number of disciples is numerous.
Even after experiencing several calamities, the foundation remains.
Luo Chen had also considered seeking help from the Windflower Palace.
After multiple battles, the Windflower Palace's spiritual veins may have collapsed, but the main vein is still intact, and the number of disciples has also significantly decreased.
Clearing a space for the two hundred or so members of the Luo Tian Sect is not a problem! As long as Li Yingzhang can control his disciples and not disturb the Windflower Palace's female cultivators too much.
A man and a woman walked along the rugged mountain, heading towards a well-preserved peak.
"This great war is finally coming to an end!"
With the mountain breeze blowing, the woman's voice was heavy yet carried a hint of relief.
"Oh, it seems like Fellow Daoist knows about the situation at Ling Tian Pass?" The man asked curiously.
"I don't know the specifics, but I know that after nine days and nights of fighting, the beast tide gradually retreated. I sent a few disciples to investigate the situation there. We'll have a clearer picture once they return. Speaking of which, where is Fellow Daoist Ling Fengzi?"
"He went to the outskirts of Ling Tian Pass to connect with friends and gather intelligence."
"I heard that Ling Fengzi joined your sect. His escape techniques are exquisite, even surpassing mine. Luo Tian Sect has gained a powerful member!"
"Haha, it's just a mutual benefit."
The Windflower Fairy looked at Luo Chen seriously, and their steps slowed down at the peak.
"This is Qingping Mountain, once the cultivation site of my Shimei. There's a fourth-grade lower-grade spiritual vein within, suitable for Fellow Daoist's cultivation, and ensure the current number of disciples. This will improve the efficiency of resource utilization and business development.
7. Evaluate the potential for outsourcing or collaborations.
The second palace master's cultivation site?
Luo Chen vaguely remembered that the second palace master's Daoist name was Qingping Fairy.
This Daoist name originated from her refining a large amount of Qingping Youfeng, making her as elusive as a floating leaf during battles.
Unfortunately, when Jinxiu Xian brought a group of demon kings to attack, the second palace master was held back by the sect, unable to fully utilize her strength, ultimately meeting her demise.
Of course, even if the second palace master had no attachments at that time, she would still not be a match for Jinxiu Xian and the other demon kings.
"Luo Xiong, are you satisfied with this place?"
"I'm satisfied, and it should also be suitable for Ling Fengzi's cultivation. He will be content." Luo Chen nodded.
A smile appeared on the Windflower Fairy's face, but she quickly realized something.
"You're not staying here?"
"I have my own plans. During my absence, I hope you can take care of a few of my sect's disciples. If there's specific intelligence from Ling Tian Pass, please send a message to me."
Luo Chen presented a transmission jade talisman he personally refined.
This was a product of his combination of the North Sea Lu Shan Lord's ten-thousand-mile sound transmission talisman technique with his own formation principles, refined through his alchemy skills.
It contained a strand of his severed divine sense. Once the information was recorded, Luo Chen could instantly receive it.
However, this item is one-time use.
Moreover, Luo Chen didn't dare to give it to others easily. If someone used that strand of divine sense to secretly harm Luo Chen through mysterious methods, it would be a loss.
The Windflower Fairy, who had fought side by side with Luo Chen, was someone Luo Chen trusted.
The Windflower Fairy was a bit puzzled but still accepted the jade talisman.
After the Luo Tian Sect's cultivators entered Qingping Mountain, Luo Chen smiled slightly, bowed to the Windflower Fairy, and then left gracefully.
The Windflower Fairy watched his carefree figure, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling that he seemed to be guarding against something.
What could the Dan Sect, which had defeated great cultivators, be afraid of?
"Safe travels!"
