The terrifying feeling towards the giant made them want to turn and run.
Yet, amidst the giant’s movement like a primeval ancestor crossing mountains and rivers, they couldn’t help but want to kneel down and worship.
Chu Zhaonan groaned inwardly, nearly showing a frenzied expression on his face.
"What exactly is Lord Luo Chen?"
"Do Lord Xiao and the others even know what kind of existence they provoked before?"
...
While Luo Chen was making grand earth-shattering moves, Yixian City was also thrown into endless busyness with the return of that squad leader.
A list personally written by Luo Chen made the entire Yixian City operate like a machine.
The list of timbers, ores, beast blood—anything Yixian City had, Jing Lan spared no effort in gathering them.
If it was a scarce item owned by a wealthy family, they would hand it over; otherwise, the consequence was the ruin of their family.
For specialties from other districts, Jing Lan sent Xiang Fei, either to exchange benefits or to seize them forcefully.
As for the "humanoid materials" specifically mentioned on the list, Jing Lan also began preparations, just waiting for the day to deliver them pletely.
Time quickly flew by amid such busyness.
Day by day, month by month, even year by year.
After ten years, the big movements of Yixian City had deeply affected all the surrounding large cities of the same tier.
This included the seven large cities that had previously offended Luo Chen, as well as the other dozen cities that had business dealings with Yixian City before.
It was even heard that there was a reaction from Wuyou City.
Fortunately, after ten years, Yixian City’s activities came to a halt, as if nothing had ever happened.
But for people like Chu Zhaonan, facing the familiar yet unfamiliar terrain before them, how could they pretend nothing had ever happened?
Red Leaf Ridge was still Red Leaf Ridge.
But the emerald green lake, the canals where qi and evil qi flowed simultaneously, and the five towering surrounding peaks, where could one find any trace of the former Red Leaf Ridge?
This kind of earth-shattering great divine power, he had never seen in his life, only heard in the tales of storytellers at most.
But Luo Chen truly demonstrated it right in front of him.
"Before ing to the Great Destruction Realm, the Lord must have been a mighty existence capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon!"
In such speculation, a solitary figure emerged from the mountain path leading to Red Leaf Ridge.
With a casual wave of its hand, the surrounding rocks seemed to be controlled, flying up in unison, then blocking the only mountain path in and out of Red Leaf Ridge tightly.
"Lord, is it over?"
When Luo Chen approached, Chu Zhaonan asked cautiously.
"Over?"
Luo Chen shook his head with a smile; how could array formations end so easily when done with such primitive means?
He had merely laid down the rudiments of three formations inside.
These three formations were the self-created Blood Evil Demon Cloud Formation, the Dream Bubble Array learned from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s book "Stone Chamber Immortal Mechanism," and a Five Ghosts Lock God Array self-created based on his own condition.
The next step was to let them grow naturally.
Relying on the power of time, they accumulate bit by bit to form a plete structure, thus having the chance to achieve Luo Chen’s plan to unlock the Divine Soul Seal.
"Let’s go, who knows when we will e next time."
Luo Chen waved his hand and boarded the carriage that had long been prepared.
Chu Zhaonan was a bit worried about someone ing to destroy the arrangements here, planning to leave someone to watch over, but Luo Chen refused.
The Feng Shui layout of this place had changed, making it an undeniably ominous place!
Ordinary martial artists are simply not suitable to guard here.
Moreover, he left Qi Blood Restrictions at several critical points; if anyone dared to destroy the arrangements here, Luo Chen could quickly detect it.
The most important thing is, such an ominous place, any martial artist with some knowledge wouldn’t dare to rush in.
As for ordinary people?
Luo Chen smiled and closed the carriage curtain.
The Xuan Armor Army opened the way in front, followed by thousands of craftsmen who had been dispatched here over the years, marching majestically toward Yixian City.
Behind the convoy were the five peaks surrounding and the emerald lake reflecting the sky in Red Leaf Valley.
In the valley, an Illusion Dream Tree with crimson leaves was swaying its branches as if it had e to life.
...
Another year’s end arrived.
In the deep mansion, the fragrance of food drifted, and the aroma of wine was intoxicating.
To celebrate Luo Chen’s safe return, Jing Lan personally cooked up a table of good dishes.
In attendance, aside from Luo Chen, there was only Xiang Fei.
However, pared to Luo Chen and Xiang Fei, who appeared young but were actually quite old monsters, Jing Lan, who was originally the youngest, seemed increasingly aged.
She was already over fifty years old.
In this Great Destruction Realm where resources and technology were not well-developed, it was already considered a high age among mortals.
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
Luo Chen raised his glass with respect, rarely showing genuine emotion.
Having held the position of City Lord for many years, Jing Lan was already no longer reserved, but even she found it a bit unfortable with Luo Chen’s gesture to raise his glass with respect.
"Brother Luo, it’s what I should do, there’s no need for such formality."
Luo Chen sighed slightly, still drinking the wine in his cup.
Seeing this, Jing Lan had no choice but to drink Luo Chen’s toasted wine.
She puzzled over why Luo Chen sighed; was this trip unsuccessful?
Luo Chen, however, did not explain much.
The soft sigh was not for himself, but for Jing Lan.
Even though he pushed the blood through her acupoints, healing with qi-blood, and supplemented with precious herbs, Jing Lan’s physical condition continued its irreversible decline.
