Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 842: Eastern Wilderness Righteousness, Gao Chan Follows

"Luo Chen!"

Cold eyes, indifferent voice.

But mixed with it is a lot of anger!

The visitor was none other than the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Divine Sect—Zhenren Shenyuan!
Luo Chen looked calm as he met that gaze.

"Shen Yuan, what can I teach you?"

Shen Yuan's face could not be seen under the black hat, only a hint of coldness was faintly visible at the corners of his mouth. The other party directly extended his hand towards Luo Chen.

"Return the body of Zong Jinling to me!"

Luo Chen shook his head and said innocently, "Everyone knows that Daoist Fellow Jin Ling died in the battle to help Tiandu Sect. His body and soul were destroyed. Where is his body? He did have a life, the Golden Wing, but it was taken away by the Thousand Suo Demon King. You should go find Thousand Suo, not me."

Master Shen Yuan laughed out of anger, "What a well-known fact, do you really think I am..."

His words came to an abrupt end with a loud cough.

"Cough cough!"

A pale and haggard old man slowly walked into the hall.

He said in a heavy tone: "Fellow Daoist Shen Yuan, I also know that you are bearing the pain of the death of your fellow disciples, but this matter has nothing to do with Danzong, so why take your anger out on him."

"Tian Duzi, you say that so easily. Jin Ling died while trying to relieve the siege of Tian Du!"

Zhenren Shenyuan turned around and stared at the old man.

Tian Duzi sighed, "I will remember this favor in my heart, but the elders in the sect have sent a message that Jin Ling's body is indeed missing, so please stop making trouble."

Making trouble?
Zhenren Shenyuan seemed to have heard something very unexpected, and he was completely unable to react.

Then, Tianduzi walked up to Luo Chen and started chatting with his lips moving.

He understood in an instant what this scene meant.

Luo Chen watched him out of the corner of his eye and felt a little relieved.

Rushing to the aid of Tiandu Sect is a mission. Even if he has done a favor, his gratitude is no less than Jin Ling's.

How can the value of a dead person be compared with that of a living person?

Especially, he is the Danzong!

Now, only two of the five Nascent Souls of Tiandu Sect are left, and its strength has declined sharply.

Under such circumstances, Tianduzi made the most correct choice and risked offending Shenyuan to save him.

It can even be said that it’s not just Tianduzi!

As early as when Shen Yuan intended to attack, Jiuling Yuanjun, Deng Taiyue, Ling Fengzi and others around Luo Chen subconsciously stood on Luo Chen's side.

This is what has become a trend!
"I am sorry for your loss!"

"Although three of your sect's elders died, at least the Tiandu Sect's mountain gate and sacred land were saved, and most of the disciples at or below the Jindan level also survived."

"After the war stops, we can rest for a hundred years and recover our strength."

Luo Chen said so comfortingly.

Tian Duzi forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your good words. I hope so!"

In return for the favor, Luo Chen immediately agreed generously.

"After the war, if you need any medicine, just come to me. I will do my best to help you!"

Tian Duzi looked at Luo Chen deeply. He knew that his previous statement was indeed recognized by Luo Chen.

The two people, who originally had not had a very close relationship, formed an alliance at this moment.

That's how things are in this world.

Since you have done a favor to my Tiandu Sect, I will help you cover up the matter of hiding Jin Ling's body. As a result, we have developed a so-called friendship.

only……

"After the war, I'm afraid it's still a long way off!"

Tian Duzi sighed and walked upwards.

There, unlike usual, there were five chairs placed there.

Tianduzi occupies one of them.

After giving Luo Chen a sinister look, Zhenren Shenyuan also sat on a chair.

As expected, the remaining three chairs were reserved for the three great monks of the Mingyuan Sect.

as predicted!

When most people arrived, the strong men of Mingyuan Sect also began to show up.

Thirteen people in total!

Except for the most familiar City Lord Lingtian, the other twelve people are very unfamiliar.

But the powerful aura emanating from each of them is not to be underestimated.

Some were in the early stage of Nascent Soul, while others were in the middle stage, and all of them had an air of pride and arrogance on their faces.

This is Mingyuan Zhixiu, a disciple of the Holy Land!
Luo Chen sat in a relatively forward position, with Jiuling Yuanjun right next to him. This showed that Luo Chen's current status in the Eastern Wilderness was almost the same as that of Jiuling Yuanjun, a powerful figure comparable to ordinary great cultivators.

If we consider the name of "Dan Zong", I'm afraid his status would be even higher.

However, when Luo Chen examined those strange cultivators from Mingyuan Sect, doubts arose in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Perhaps seeing the confusion on Luo Chen's face, Jiuling Yuanjun took the initiative to ask.

Luo Chen casually threw down a soundproof shield and said to the other party: "The number is wrong!"

"quantity?"

"Yes, I heard earlier that there are more than ten Mingyuan masters in Lingtian Pass alone. And there are eleven in Tiandu Sect behind. I think the number of Mingyuan masters in the other two groups is not small either!"

"Yes, I have six Mingyuan masters helping me, including a great cultivator."

"That's right. There should be quite a few Mingyuan Zhenren on Shouyang Mountain's route. But why haven't these people reached Lingtian Pass yet?"

"It seems they have other missions."

"Ok?"

Luo Chen was puzzled. Now the situation had been eased with the involvement of the Mingyuan Sect.

Shouldn't we all gather at Lingtian Pass, regroup, and launch a counterattack against the demon clan?
What kind of mission is it that has prevented a powerful man like Lei Daozi from showing up until now?

Hunt down those demon kings?

Doubts arose spontaneously. Looking at the situation in the hall where many familiar faces were missing, Luo Chen could not cheer up.

However, Deng Taiyue next to him was quite interested in talking and kept asking if Luo Chen was injured.

He was probably worried that if something happened to Luo Chen, no one would help him research the recipe for the Dihu Pill!

"Speaking of which, where is the man from Shouyang Mountain?" Luo Chen was quite curious. He had not heard any news of the other party's death, but he had not seen him either.

Deng Taiyue shook his head. "When he and I fought in the Xuhuang Sect, his body was destroyed. Only a Nascent Soul survived by chance. I'm afraid he has returned to Dongyang Sect now. Didn't you notice that the one who came here today to represent Dongyang Sect is another Nascent Soul elder?"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

I still remember that when we left Lingtian Pass, the people of Shouyang Mountain still hoped that everyone would return safely, and then gather in Shouyang Mountain to continue communicating and discussing.

But now, nine people went, four returned, two were seriously injured, and three died!
Those three are not unknown people!

Jin Ling, Hua Tianshi, Li Pavilion Master...

Just as Luo Chen was sighing, the people above seemed to have reached a consensus.

At the sound of City Lord Lingtian knocking on the table, the bustling hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused together.

"Cough cough!"

"First of all, this city lord would like to express his condolences and apologies to all the Taoist friends who died in this battle."

The Lord of Lingtian City stood up and bowed deeply in front of everyone.

Such a scene is indeed somewhat surprising.

Ling Tian City Lord is at such a high level and with such an identity, yet he has to act like this. The new representative of Dongyang Sect said immediately: "Lord City Lord, you don't have to blame yourself. Our life and death are determined by fate, so you can't be blamed."

Ling Tian City Lord apologized: "It was my negligence that led to this big mistake."

He spoke sincerely and from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone seemed somewhat moved.

But what exactly is in everyone's mind is unknown.

"Secondly, Lingtian Pass has been breached, and reconstruction must be put on the agenda immediately to prevent the demon army from attacking again!"

After remembering the past, the most important thing is the present.

This was within everyone's expectations.

The Lord of Lingtian City said righteously: "All the resources for rebuilding Lingtian Pass this time will be provided by Mingyuan! Fellow Taoists, you don't need to spend a single spirit stone."

After hearing this, Luo Chen and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Is there such a good thing?

But then they realized that this was what was supposed to happen!
When Lingtian Pass was built, the resources used were all the savings of various sects, and even the land was divided out from the five areas of Fenghua Palace and Mu Mansion.

In name, the city of Lingtian Pass belongs to all the forces in Eastern Wilderness.

The reason why it was named "Lingtian" at that time was simply to give face to the Mingyuan Sect, and the other party provided a complete city-building plan and a city defense formation.

But now, Mingyuan has sent funds to rebuild Lingtian Pass and add the original name. So what will be the ownership of Lingtian Pass in the future?
Should it belong to all the forces in Donghuang, or to Mingyuan Sect?
Luo Chen was shocked, "Has it already started?"

City Lord Lingtian continued speaking.

"Of course, although each company does not need to provide materials or resources, they still need to help with manpower."

"in addition!"

Suddenly, his tone raised!
"Judging from the demon clan's conspiracy to attack our rear, what they are after is definitely not just a city or a region, but the entire Eastern Wasteland, which is the soil for the survival of our race!"

"If we cannot completely defeat the demon army and retake our old land, then we will no longer have a place to stand. Your clans and families will not be able to continue their inheritance for thousands of years."

"Therefore, this city lord hereby proposes that all the sects in the rear send their personnel to reinforce Lingtian Pass and the five nearby regions. At the same time, all the Jindan sects with complete structures are recruited to participate in the next war!"

"This battle is not just a matter for one family or one clan, but a matter of life and death for the entire Eastern Wilderness human race!"

……

For the first time, Luo Chen felt that the generous and magnanimous City Lord Lingtian was so hypocritical.

Those words might have come from the heart of City Lord Lingtian.

But how many sect interests are mixed in it? All of them, who have lived for hundreds of years, know it clearly!
But under the pretext of high-sounding words, it is the general trend, no one can go against it. It is the righteousness that is pressing people, no one can refute it.

Even after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Chen still felt a bit suffocated and depressed.

This is the first time since he achieved the Nascent Soul stage!
"For the rise and fall of the human race in the Eastern Wasteland?"

"hehe!"

“I’m afraid that after the demons are driven away, all the major sects will wither and decline. After a major reshuffle, the most powerful Mingyuan Holy Land can learn from the Tianyuan Dao Sect and completely control the Eastern Wasteland in its own hands.”

Recalling the content of the meeting, Luo Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.

In order to relieve his depressed emotions, after the meeting, he took the initiative to visit the seriously injured Mr. Fu accompanied by Ye Lan.

……

The content of the meeting at the City Lord's Mansion was spread by someone with ulterior motives and soon reached everyone's ears.

There is not only justice and interests involved, but also various incidental benefits.

Rebuild Lingtian Pass, regroup, exhaust the strength of the human race in the Eastern Wilderness, and launch a counterattack.

After defeating the demon clan, those ownerless spiritual lands will be the best rewards!

This alone is enough to attract many people.

In addition to the previous lesson of the Demon King's massive invasion of the rear, the forces in the sixteen regions in the rear that had been sitting on the sidelines could no longer sit still.

The number of cultivators at Lingtian Pass, after a sharp decline, began to be replenished in large numbers.

Not only that, the number of powerful people in the nearby Lingtian Five Regions is also increasing.

Luo Chen had been paying attention to all this, but he did not take it too seriously. Instead, he closed the door and refused visitors, saying that he was injured in a previous battle.

He didn't open the door to welcome guests until a friend returned.

"Gao, did you catch him?"

Luo Chen asked this the first time he saw Fairy Fenghua.

"no!"

Fairy Fenghua shook her head decisively, and then said solemnly: "That guy is not simple!"

Luo Chen was not surprised, "Of course it's not simple. Although this monster has many ways of attacking, the threat it poses to our Nascent Soul is rare in the world, so its presence must be unusual."

“It’s not just that!”

Fairy Fenghua took a deep breath and told the story of what she had encountered before.

"After leaving Tiandu Territory, I followed the cultivators of Mingyuan Sect to hunt down Jinxiuxian and other demon kings."

"During this process, I have always had the upper hand. With the help of the monks from Mingyuan Sect, I even destroyed Huang Fengke's physical body."

"Lei Daozi also demonstrated his supreme strength despite his fame. Even someone as strong as Jin Xiuxian could not compete with him. But..."

When she said this, there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

"But when faced with the completely restrained Gao Chan, he kept chasing him but didn't kill him."

"At first I thought he was hesitant, but later when the other commander-level demon kings came to rescue him, it seemed to confirm my thoughts."

“But it wasn’t until Gao Chan, under siege, released a powerful killing move that was definitely not something that a Yuanying level cultivator could master that I realized something was wrong.”

"With just that one move, he killed five Yuanying Zhenren of Mingyuan Sect!"

Luo Chen's expression changed drastically!

Gao Chan has such means that he can kill five Yuanying Zhenren instantly?

And he is a Nascent Soul expert from the holy land?
"At that time, I began to back out and was not prepared to continue participating in this hunt. I thought the monks of Mingyuan Sect would do the same, but..."

Fairy Fenghua said word by word: "But despite such tragic casualties, Lei Daozi still did not give up, and even summoned more Yuanying strongmen to surround and kill Gao Chan."

"I realized that they were determined to capture Gao Chan, and they kept testing him, chasing him but not killing him, and piling up human lives, as if they were trying to lure someone out."

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "Surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements?"

"Yes, I do feel that way." Fairy Fenghua nodded, but there was a look of doubt in her eyes, "But Gao Chang's threat is already big enough, and he has attracted powerful demon kings such as Huang Man and Niu Gui, but they don't seem to be Lei Daozi's main target. Who else could it be?"

There are indeed some monsters in the Eastern Wilderness that are stronger than Huang Man and Niu Gui.

Like arrogance and deceit, like blue frost!
But intuitively, Luo Chen and Fairy Fenghua denied this possibility.

"You said that Gao Chan once used a killing move that was absolutely beyond the control of a Yuanying cultivator at a critical moment of life and death? Doesn't that mean that it was a divine power, a great magical power?"

In response to Luo Chen's question, Fairy Fenghua nodded subconsciously, and then her eyes widened.

"Do you suspect that Lei Daozi and his men want to use Gao Chang to lure out the ancient demon emperor Tian?"

Luo Chen hummed, took a deep breath and said, "It is rumored that the ancient demon emperor Tian is the Eastern Wilderness White Tiger who has attained the Tao, so he pacified millions of mountains and commanded all the demons, and was called Pingshan Jun. Under his command, he has a favorite concubine Jinxiuxian, a general Huang Man, and even old-generation strongmen like Ao Ku were subdued by him. That Gao Chan might also be someone he values, otherwise it is impossible to explain why he has the means to become a god."

"You may not know that in order to break through Lingtian Pass, Huang Man also used the method of transformation into a spirit!"

"The fact that Gao Chan can be treated like Huang Man shows how important he is."

"The actions of the Mingyuan monks, led by Lei Daozi, have made their intentions clear!"

Fairy Fenghua was puzzled: "Even if the ancient demon Emperor Tian is brought out, what can be done?"

"If we kill him, wouldn't that solve the current dilemma in East Wilderness?" Luo Chen asked back.

Fairy Fenghua shook her head. "Ancient demons and the Divine Incarnation are at the same level, so how can they be killed so easily? Besides, isn't it rumored that the Divine Incarnation cannot fight?"

Can’t fight?

Luo Chen seemed to recall some scenes and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
