Chapter 306: Chapter 156 – Battle of the Golden Core, Rewarding Magic Items (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2
Translator: 549690339
Miao Wen’s puzzled voice resounded once again.
“Why are we so sure that this Golden Core Ascendant Master in the black robe will covet these magic items?”
“This is Elder Pang’s speculation.”
Luo Tianhong spoke indifferently, “Fei Bowen was attacked. According to Elder Pang’s judgment, the opponent was likely targeting that defense magic item from Ailao Mountain—the Solid Enclosure.”
“But the Solid Enclosure works both ways. Fei Bowen activated it before his death, so the enemy had to retreat fruitlessly.”
“Later on, Elder Pang managed to take away most of the resources from the relics of the late Supreme Elder in Ghost God Valley, leaving behind only the Lan Ke Black and White Chess Piece and the Monster-Locking Tower. Those two items have defense attributes and would naturally attract the greedy hand of the rat.”
Miao Wen finally understood. He had not been privy to these secrets. After all, he was just an External Sect Steward, but Luo Tianhong was different. The latter was a Foundation Establishment True Disciple from within the Sect and held a high regard.
Elder Pang Renxiong, who held such a high-ranking position, also favored him highly and naturally would not hide such insignificant matters from him.
“It now seems that it was this Golden Core Ascendant Master in the black robe who killed Fei Bowen and then attempted to frame it on our Yu Ding Sword
Sect.”
Miao Wen sneered, “It’s pathetic that even at his death’s door, he still stubbornly denies it.”
Luo Tianhong shook his head, “Of course he’d still deny it. The consequences of admitting would be more than he could bear. However, in front of our Yu Ding Sword Sect, whether he admits it or not isn’t important anymore.”
It was not important anymore.
Luo Chen could clearly see that Pang Renxiong was getting impatient and he was using the Sword Pills more violently.
The divided sword lights were now more than tens of thousands, even too numerous to count.
Under these attacks, the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel was on the brink of collapse. No matter how many flying discs it manifested, they were all instantly destroyed.
The sword light that couldn’t avoid hitting him caused the two black and white chess pieces to spin wildly.
“Is this the Sword Cultivator that is said to shatter ten thousand techniques with one sword?”
“Except for a single Sword Pill, he didn’t use any other tactics, yet he managed to put a Golden Core Ascendant Master of the same Order in dire straits.” Luo Chen was full of admiration. Specializing in one sword, it’s no wonder that Sword Cultivators are known to have the strongest combat ability at the same
Order.
However, if he dared to challenge a Yu Ding Sword Cultivator, he should have more tricks up his sleeve, right?
While Luo Chen was guessing, a terrified roar resounded across the shores of
the Lancang River.
” Sect Cultivators have gone too far in bullying me!”
The next moment, a small tower flew out from the hands of the black-robed Cultivator.
The small tower exuded an aura of antiquity. It was clearly an old magic item with a long history.
As he poured his Qi Power into it, the small tower began to grow rapidly against the wind.
It quickly reached ten meters!
Twenty meters!
In the blink of an eye, it had exceeded the maximum height of thirty meters that Mi Shuhua had struggled to achieve.
And it was still growing.
Forty meters!
Fifty meters!
A hundred meters!
The towering structure literally hung over the river like the Pillar of Heaven. The Golden Core Ascendant Master in the black robe took a deep breath, recalled the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel, and then threw out his hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tens of thick black chains emerged from the tower like water snakes or pythons.
Wherever they passed, the sword light collapsed immediately. Their momentum was absolutely unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the area within a five-mile radius of where Pang Renxiong was.
An aura of profound sealing filled the sky above the area.
Pang Renxiong’s face changed slightly. The Sword Pill circling around him divided into countless sword lights, attempting to sever the black chains one by one.
However, the situation was still deteriorating rapidly.
Breaking one black chain would consume hundreds of sword lights. With the support of the magic tower, those black chains seemed to be endless. Seeing this, the Golden Core Ascendant Master in the black robe burst out laughing.
“This is one of the three treasures held by Ghost God Valley.”
“It embodies eighteen terrestrial fiends and fixes nine Arrays-surely the epitome of Ascendant Grade Magic Items!
“Having locked countless monsters in the past, today this old man will exterminate a Yu Ding Sword Cultivator with it!
Miles away, Luo Chen understood.
This magic item should be the Monster-Locking Tower Magic Item spoken of by Miao Wen on their way here.
Its power was indeed overwhelming.
Even the renowned sharpness of the Sword Pill couldn’t resist the black chains seal.
No wonder he was confident enough to challenge Pang Renxiong. Thinking about it this way, Mi Shuhua had really been calculated to an embarrassing extent.
The Yu Ding Sword Sect had him send out a large amount of manpower and resources from the Broken Mountain Gang to search for Golden Core ruins, used him as bait, and didn’t bother rescuing him in the end. They barely regarded him as a human being.
“No, considering Mi Shuhua’s character, he must also be clear about this. “But with the treasure at stake, he definitely wanted to take a gamble. Furthermore, he indeed grabbed the most resources from the ruins.” “Perhaps there was also an opportunity related to Core Formation within.” “He just didn’t expect that he would be attacked covertly by a Golden Core Ascendant Master while being besieged by five Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
Upon understanding the reason, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness.
He was sorrowful for Mi Shuhua as well as for himself.
Just like Mi Shuhua was made a pawn by the Golden Core Ascendant Master, he himself was always being manipulated by Foundation Establishment Cultivators as well.
Sect Cultivators truly looked down on Rogue Cultivators from the bottom of their hearts!
While feeling dejected, Luo Chen watched the battle unfolding ahead, his mood turning gloomy.
This Golden Core Ascendant Master in the black robe claimed to be a mere Rogue Cultivator.
But now that he has reached the Golden Core Period, how could he be rootless and insignificant?
Without saying anything else, coordinating with the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators shows that he must have a background.
The most likely possibility is the Lianyun Business Union.
This power had branches in dozens of market places. There were already twenty to thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators within it.
It was taken as a natural thing that there would be Golden Core Cultivators sitting in high positions there.
Even if not in the higher ranks, he was at least a persona of giving tribute. “Perhaps the Monster-Locking Tower is not even his trump card! While Luo Chen was guessing, Miao and Luo, who were about a few tens of miles away, were also conversing.
