One could hardly imagine the aftermath in The Great River District if they lose.
No, perhaps the tip of the iceberg has already shown.
Luo Chen’s eyes struggled to shift from the center of the battle, falling onto the devastated and eerie Great River District.
He didn’t know how many cultivators from Inner City had died there.
Hearing that the Ghost King was here, Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang, even though they were prepared, turned pale.
The legendary being was actually standing in front of them now.
They were merely Qi Refinement cultivators, and they could not help but feel utterly powerless.
Seeing them lost in thought, Luo Chen cursed inwardly.
In this battle, his team could not get involved.
“We can’t stay here for long, let’s quickly return to Crescent Valley!”
The Crescent Valley was hundreds of miles away from the Inner City area of The Great River District and will not be affected by the battle of Golden Core cultivators for the time being.
Moreover, the valley had been under operation for some time and a Five Elements Array had been set up there.
Only by returning there and defending the base could they ensure some safety.
Most importantly, they needed to inform the members of the Luo Tian Creed about what was happening in Inner City.
The three of them did not hesitate and broke out at full speed, cutting through the Outer City area.
In mid-flight, Luo Chen’s thoughts were spinning. In the end, there was only a complicated bitter smile.
He had been prepared to leave The Great River District, yet abruptly, things had changed.
Indeed, plans could never keep up with changes!
He wondered what expressions his friends who had said their goodbyes to him would have when they saw him return.
Suddenly, Luo Chen’s figure slightly halted.
His gaze fell to the ground.
“Chairman, what’s wrong?”
Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang stopped immediately and followed his gaze to the ground.
Ten cultivators, shrouded in black robes, were advancing rather than retreating, rushing towards Inner City among the fleeing Glints.
And what’s more, it was not the only place where similar teams could be found.
Seemingly noticing the stares, the leader of one of the teams looked up and made eye contact with Luo Chen.
“It’s him!”
Looking at the familiar Golden Jiaolong Mask, Luo Chen was taken aback.
He forced himself to maintain eye contact, clasping his fists in a salute towards the cultivator.
Then, without hesitation, he led his two subordinates and flew away.
On the ground!
“Lord, what happened?”
Tian Xingzi withdrew his gaze, and lightly smiled.
“Nothing, I just spotted an interesting kid.”
“Don’t delay our big plan. Let’s quickly go support Elder Linghu. We’ll miss out on our share of the accomplishments if we’ re late.”
Tian Xingzi!
The master of Zhenlong Black Market at The Great River District, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!
That Golden Jiaolong Mask was his most distinctive symbol.
“Their advance instead of retreat indicates their intention to provide support.”
“But they are cultivators of the Zhenlong Black Market, and they have no connection with the Yu Ding Sword Sect.”
“That is to say, they are supporting the grey-robed Golden Core cultivator who appeared out of nowhere!”
Luo Chen felt as if he was faced with an intricate and vast invisible net that had been woven for a long time and was only gathered up today.
He was nearly trapped in it.
However, he had never guessed that the Zhenlong Black Market could also be the culprits behind the scenes.
Luo Chen thought back to the time when the black market cultivator gave him the embroidered ball and mentioned some things casually.
With that Embroidered Ball Magic Tool, he could know the opening time of the black market every month.
Even if it went to other markets, it would still be effective.
At that time, he was thinking that there must be a force behind the Zhenlong
Black Market that is no less powerful than the Lianyun Business Union.
But now it looks like his thinking was too simple.
The force that dares to release the repressed Ghost King and besieges the Yu Ding Golden Core is definitely not something the Lianyun Business Union can compare to.
Moreover, judging from the organization’s strength and the powerful execution.
It’s also not a level that ordinary rogue cultivators could reach.
“I’m afraid that behind Zhenlong Black Market and the golden core in the gray robe, there is a great sect that dares to contend with Yu Ding Sword Sect!” “Which one could it be?”
As Luo Chen was flying, he was racking his brains thinking.
Yu Ding Sword Sect is an ascendant sect that has a Nascent Soul True Master!
Within the scope of Yu Ding Realm, there doesn’t exist any ascendant sect that dares to contend with them.
The more famous sects, such as Ailao Mountain, Luo Yun Sect, Ice Castle, and Hundred Flowers Palace, are nothing more than Golden Core Great Sects.
They may quarrel with Yu Ding Sword Sect over some interests.
But when it comes to starting a war privately, they definitely dare not.
Don’t you see, when Ailao Mountain lost a late-stage foundation establishment disciple, the supreme elder of the sect went to ask Yu Ding Sword Sect personally for justice.
The emphasis is on the word “personally”.
Seemingly aggressive, but isn’t it actually playing the “victim”?
An elder from a sect went to someone else’s home to lodge a complaint, exposing himself to danger. This is essentially an act of weakness.
“So, could it be an outside power?”
Just as Luo Chen was thinking, a group of people came flying towards them.
From afar, someone started yelling at them.
Seeing the people coming, Luo Chen took a sigh of relief.
It is the group of cultivators from Luo Tian Creed. The one leading was his big brother Wang Yuan.
” Let’ s return to Crescent Valley first!”
“Let’s talk as we go.”
When they arrived at Crescent Valley, Luo Chen had already explained what had happened in The Great River District clearly.
Everyone was shocked!
How could a mere district like The Great River District upset so many Golden Core Cultivators?
After the shock, there was panic.
Because there are many cultivators who live in the Inner City, let alone some left-behind property, just the relatives that are still in the Inner City make them worry endlessly.
Like Yuan Xiaoyue, she was crying her eyes out and wanted to return to the Inner City at one point.
Because her grandfather is still in the Inner City.
Feng Xia held her tightly, advising her not to get brash.
But even Feng Xia couldn’t hide her worries.
Her best friend Bai Meiling, was still in the Inner City!
There are quite a few people like them.
Even more, Qu Lingjun was crying and shouting about wanting to go back and save his parents.
Thanks to Luo Chen’s value on Qu Hancheng, he increased his salary multiple times.
With more money in his purse, naturally he would want to change his family’s living situation, especially providing Qu Lingjun a place filled with Spirit Qi to live.
So their whole family also moved into the Inner City a month ago.
But now, with the exception of an old and young one, all the mortals in the family are still in the Inner City.
Seeing the sorrowful atmosphere of Luo Tian Creed, Luo Chen felt helpless.
After a few failed attempts to comfort them, he left the Bright Moon Hall with Wang Yuan.
“As you said, Elder Pang Renxiong of Yu Ding, who is currently being besieged by four cultivators of the same order, it’s more likely that things will end badly.”
“Yes.”
“Can you still go to Yu Ding Sword Sect?”
Luo Chen scratched his head, revealing an uncommonly childish demeanor.
Sure enough, he knew that if he turned back now, it would be an embarrassing situation.
It turns out that all the expressions he had made last night and this morning had been wasted!
“Although it’s untimely, I want to ask, Brother Wang, can you give back the bottle of Spirit Pills you took from me?”
