Chapter 2127: Chapter 781: Their Scheming Hearts Never Die!


Even now, in countless battles with the Demon Clan and the Human Clan, he has forged the title of "Sword Realm Lone Swan"!


Facing Luo Chen’s greeting, his expression was complex, with a hint of curiosity.


"Friend Luo, after a century apart, you truly are someone who demands a second glance!"


Luo Chen smiled, "The name Sword Realm Lone Swan reached my ears as soon as I arrived in the White Crane Domain. Daoist Lin, you’re not far behind."


White Crane Domain! This content belongs to novelꜰ


Lin Qingxuan’s expression changed slightly, taking a deep breath, he stared directly at Luo Chen.


"Regarding the battle on the Great Snow Mountain years ago, what really happened, please enlighten me, Friend Dao."


The only Nascent Soul cultivator of his Sword Sect—True Master Yu Ding, was chased for eighty thousand miles and finally slain under the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain by Demon Emperor Qing Shuang.


From then on, the Yu Ding Sword Sect began an unstoppable decline.


Facing this question, Luo Chen adjusted his robe and sat down directly.


"The events of that year are like a tangled mess, impossible to untangle or explain. I, Luo Chen, have some knowledge, but limited by my realm at the time, what I know is merely the tip of the iceberg, how could I clear up the confusion for you, Friend Dao?"


Lin Qingxuan’s brow furrowed tightly, he heard the perfunctory tone in Luo Chen’s words.


Does he truly not know?


Or is it because his sect had a disciple, Hong Ling, who was involved in the Luotian Sect’s internal strife, causing him displeasure and thus unwilling to speak?


But now, whether to speak or not is not necessarily Luo Chen’s decision.


He looked at the Lingtian City Lord.


The Lingtian City Lord, however, seemed oblivious to his gaze, instead asking Luo Chen, "The remaining two friends need no introduction, right?"


The remaining two, True Master Shenhuo and Old Ghost Mo Tian.


Luo Chen nodded.


No introduction was needed, but it was clear those two would not let things rest.


Old Ghost Mo Tian spoke in a hateful voice, "Today Luo Chen disregarded rules, broke into the Battle Platform. Not only did he disrupt the Ten Duels, but he also killed Yin Sixiang and destroyed my Lifebound Magic Artifact that I had refined for hundreds of years. City Lord Lingtian, please adjudicate this matter and have Luo Chen account for his actions!"


"I have not held you accountable for sowing discord and causing chaos within our sect, yet you villainously complain first." Luo Chen’s expression was fierce as he stared at the old man, "Moreover, it was you who broke the rules first!"


Old Ghost Mo Tian slammed the table, "Full of sophistry and deceitful words! Your Luotian Sect received the Five Elements Divine Sect’s protection for thirty years. Later, you were ungrateful and defected to Fenghua Palace. Such actions are unjustifiable anywhere!"


Luo Chen did not back down, "And what does that have to do with your Mount Sky Cliff?"


"You!"


Old Ghost Mo Tian pointed at Luo Chen with trembling hands, his lips quivering and beard twitching uncontrollably.


He turned, eyes slightly red, to the old man in red beside him.


"Shenhuo, say something!"


Such a loss of composure, unworthy of a True Master!


But considering his Lifebound Magic Artifact was destroyed and his Divine Soul injured, unable to control his emotions in anger, none could despise him.


Moreover, the main purpose of today’s small gathering at the City Lord Mansion, outside of Elder Fu and the Great Palace Master wanting to meet Luo Chen, was to resolve the issue of the "Ten Duels."


Faced with the angry words of an ally, True Master Shenhuo, who had previously been enraged over his disciple’s death, was now surprisingly calm.


"The defeat of Sixiang was due to his unluckiness."


"Luotian’s inconsistency, merely a matter of every man for himself when disaster looms."


"However, such incidents have left the reputation of our Divine Sect tarnished. This feud, Shenhuo cannot resolve, but our sect’s ancestor will certainly seek out Friend Luo for an explanation!"


As True Master Shenhuo spoke, Old Ghost Mo Tian grew more incredulous as he listened.


But upon hearing the last sentence, his face filled with ecstatic joy.


The expressions of others grew serious.


The Five Elements Divine Sect, Shenyuan Ancestor, is a Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!


If he intervenes personally, no matter how arrogant and domineering Luo Chen was before, given the vast gap in their realms, he would be nothing more than a mere clown.


In response.


Luo Chen laughed heartily as he stood up.


"Haha, I, Luo Chen, await your ancestor’s visit! I have matters to attend to, so I will not idle chat with you any longer."


Having said that, he bowed to the Lingtian City Lord, Elder Fu, and others, then strode towards the door.


No one stopped him during this process.


Especially Lingtian City Lord, who watched him leave with a hint of admiration.


The man paused at the doorway, then turned back.


"Once I clear up internal sect affairs, I will host a banquet. By then, I hope you all will honor me with the pleasure of having a glass of water wine with me."


Crunch crunch...


The gate opened, sunlight once again spilled inside.


The man returned to broad daylight, walking openly and candidly.


Only the people inside the hall were left looking at each other in confusion.


The Lingtian City Lord wore a smile and replied.


"I’ll certainly attend the banquet!"


...


Behind Lingtian Pass at the west city gate, a cloud chariot floated into the sky after passing inspection.


"Long Yu, I’ll leave the control to you."


"Okay, okay, most of these arrays on the cloud chariot, I’ve never seen. It doesn’t seem like the style of the Eastern Wasteland!"


Min Longyu was thrilled by the discovery and couldn’t resist exploring the unfamiliar arrays on the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot.


Though even more excited about Luo Chen’s return, he understood that now wasn’t the time to reminisce, so he had to divert his attention.


Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly called out to him.


"This..."


He pointed at his own head.


Min Longyu instinctively touched his hair, silver white, dry and withering.


For cultivators of a young age, this was extremely rare.


Min Longyu wasn’t particularly old, over two hundred and sixty years, at the Early Golden Core Stage.


The key point was, there had always been a tradition in Luotian Sect of refining the Color-fixing Pill, he shouldn’t appear so aged.


Min Longyu smiled freely, "Got too engrossed in researching arrays, accidentally ended up like this, nothing to worry about."


Having said that, he left on his own.


Watching his departing figure, Luo Chen opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopped.


What kind of strain would it take to make a cultivator who took the Color-fixing Pill, hair and beard turn white, with a face showing aged appearance!


Sighing, Luo Chen walked to the railing, his gaze lingering on the landscape rushing beneath, with his emotions in turmoil.


"According to Zhaowu of the White Crane Sect, Lin Qingxuan received assistance from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, attempting to seize control of the White Crane Domain. But due to Yu Ding Sword Sect’s own weakness, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was reluctant to openly support them, so they linked up with the Five Elements Divine Sect, both being from the Six Realms. As an exchange, Sword Sect cultivators participated in the Ten Decisive Battles."


"Sword Realm Lone Swan isn’t the main enemy!"


"Old Ghost Mo Tian’s True Device was destroyed, he’s bound to bear a grudge against me. But he was already an open enemy, since offending him, I decided to offend to the utmost, I don’t regret using Prosperity and Decline True Fire to destroy his true device. Instead, he should be grateful I didn’t strike him down!"


"The Five Elements Divine Sect actually agreed to shelter Luotian Sect for decades?"


"Earlier, Shenhuo deliberately didn’t pursue my reckless actions, he must have ulterior motives."


"Combining the words of Deputy Hall Master Youquan of the Transmitting Truth Hall back in Cangwu Mountain, after Soul Searching Jin Buque, she learned that the old guy from the Five Elements Divine Sect attempted to reverse refine my Five Spiritual Roots Constitution into a Nascent Embryo Body, to advance to the Divine Transformation Stage."


"Now it seems, the desire to gain my constitution remains alive!"


Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.


If there are two things he’s most worried about upon returning to the Eastern Wasteland, it’s these.


First, the accountability from the East Desolate Holy Land Dark Abyss Sect, second is that late-stage Nascent Soul old immortal from the Five Elements Divine Sect.


For the former, he’s already prepared, ready for the Holy Land’s arrival at any time.


As for the latter...


Back then, an attempt was made against him, later formed a lineup of three post-Nascent cultivators to attack Cangwu Mountain, even after his disappearance, they controlled Luotian Sect waiting for his return.


Now, True Master Shenhuo’s ambiguous attitude explains everything.


"Perhaps at this moment, I’m still not a match for a Great Cultivator. But as long as the preparation is sufficient, he wouldn’t dare openly attack me."


"And if there’s a secret attack... then I’d like to see whether the Divine Sect Secret Technique is strong, or my Prosperity and Decline Divine Fire is more formidable!"


Suddenly, Luo Chen’s narrowed eyes relaxed, showing a hint of gentleness.


A graceful figure emerged from within the carriage.


"Won’t you go see him?"


"No, take it back and leave it to Hui Niang to handle!"


"Hui Niang...," the woman sighed, lightly leaning against Luo Chen’s shoulder, "How have you been these hundred years?"


Luo Chen gently rubbed the woman’s head, his nostrils catching the subtle fragrance from her hair.


"I’m back, all is well naturally."


The cloud chariot rode clouds across mists, traversing through thousands of mountains and rivers.


The two silhouettes stood atop it, leaning against each other, just as closely as in those days.
