Lu Chen landed empty-handed, and not far from him was Nangong Yue, with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear stabbed into her lower abdon.
Inside the Abyss, it was as silent as death.
Save for the intermittent erald glow atop the wards that indicated the distant demonic beasts and the invading Nascent Soul from another domain had not given up, still bombarding the barrier.
"My fellow cultivator’s strength is truly admirable."
After a while, soone suddenly spoke up. Lu Chen looked carefully and saw a "Gui" character embroidered on the left chest of the man’s Path-protecting Clothes.
Clearly, he was from the Guiyuan Sect.
"What should I call my fellow cultivator? With such strength, I fear we would be left in the dust within the sa rank!"
This ti, it was soone from the Haoran Sect who spoke.
"What sa rank?" Another person landed and said, "If we are to compare, we should compare at the sa age! I see my fellow cultivator’s constitution is barely over twenty, such a comparison would leave us ashad!"
Hearing these flatteries, the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth traced an arc.
It was not because of these people’s sycophancy.
But from another perspective, it could be seen that these people were grudgingly respectful towards him.
"All of you are seniors of the Eastern Domain, I am but a junior, it’s purely good luck!"
Lu Chen humbly put in a few words before saying, "But to speak of it, this is a ti of great peril for the Eastern Domain. Not only are there ancient demonic beasts wreaking havoc, but also invading cultivators from other domains with sinister plots! Might all of you have any plans? It wouldn’t hurt to sit down and share our views."
Lu Chen looked leisurely and spoke politely, but there was no politeness to be heard in his tone.
All the Nascent Souls present had lived for a thousand years and were experienced old demons; how could they not understand Lu Chen’s aning?
To point it out would be to risk tearing face and inciting ard conflict!
So they just laughed it off and each landed, sitting on the ground to show their attitude by retracting their Spiritual Sense.
In doing so, they had put themselves at a disadvantage.
Lu Chen’s static pupils had long been focused on the Nascent Souls, and night vision had almost beco his instinct.
These Nascent Souls didn’t use Spiritual Sense to exhibit their attitude, but they hadn’t expected that Lu Chen could see their expressions completely.
He slightly smiled and said, "Junior Lu Chen, I’ve seen all you seniors!"
"We are fellow cultivators of the sa stage, there’s no need for Lu Daoyou to dean yourself. I am the Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect, Gui Wuwang!"
"I am the Great Elder of Haoran Sect, Sun Tianqi!"
"I am the Sect Master of Haotian Sect, Hao Moran!"
"I am... an elder of the Spirit Sound Sect... in charge of the Rhythm Pavilion, Beiming Qing!"
Lu Chen had forgotten that, apart from Nangong Yue, there were two others from the Spirit Sound Sect.
The other sects had but two or three mbers.
He turned to look at Beiming Qing and realized she was only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, which made him look at her once more.
Noticing Lu Chen’s gaze, a flash of panic crossed Beiming Qing’s face, her speech stuttering, "Lu... Lu Daoyou... I, I... will prioritize the greater good!"
She was naturally afraid of death. With even Sect Master Nangong Yue slain by Lu Chen, in her panic, she couldn’t speak clearly and finished with those four barely coherent words.
Lu Chen clearly understood and chuckled heartily, "Beiming Fairy speaks truly, we must indeed prioritize the greater good! I, Lu Chen, have been an enemy of Kong Wu in the Haotian Secret Realm but now bear no grudges against Sect Master Hao, right?"
"Hisss..."
The crowd suddenly drew a sharp breath.
"Lu Daoyou has been to the Haotian Secret Realm?"
"Of course," Lu Chen smiled faintly, intentionally revealing this information, "I went on behalf of the Casting Gear Pavilion at the ti, unaware that each major sect had sches afoot. Fortunately, I, Lu Chen, encountered an opportunity within and thus made a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage!"
His words were a mix of truth and fiction, firstly to show that he was not petty, and secondly to indicate that the information he knew was actually much more.
Thus, to make these people sincerely submit to him!
No matter the reason!
"Lu Daoyou, Kong Wu possessed a natural Taintless Body and was sowhat arrogant. If there was any offense, I, Hao, would like to apologize first!"
Hao Moran hastily said.
"Sect Master Hao is too kind, Kong Wu is dead, and with his death, all debts are settled!"
Lu Chen laughed heartily.
It pained Hao Moran’s heart, but he dared not express his anger.
Little did he know, this was actually Lu Chen testing him.
After laughing, Lu Chen turned to look at Gui Wuwang, the Sect Master of the Guiyuan Sect.
"Sect Master Gui, do you have anything to say?"
As he finished speaking, a burst of Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the air. Lu Chen’s expression beca stern as he quickly turned to look at the body of Nangong Yue.
"Damn, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear didn’t hit her Nascent Soul?"
He saw Nangong Yue’s body tear open from her lower abdon, and imdiately a snowy-white infant figure soared into the sky and vanished into the darkness!
It was Nangong Yue’s Nascent Soul escaping!
"Trying to flee? Do you think you can escape?"
Lu Chen’s expression turned fierce, and he abruptly threw his hand up!
"Earth Fire!"
