"In such situation, strategic goods such as Foundation Establishnt Pill and Blood Ignition Pill are of high importance."
"Master managed to secure my position as an inner disciple because of his achievents in The Great River District."
"Speaking of it, you had a part to play in this as well!"
Enlightennt dawned upon Luo Chen.
No wonder Tian Xingzi left in such a hurry.
Even though the Yu Ding Sword Sect commands few core disciples, it still controls a region as a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.
The Luo Yun Sect was just a Golden Core Great Sect before.
As Luo Chen guessed, Supre Elder Han Zhan had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
But the overall power of the sect was still constrained to its previous state.
The likes of Tian Xingzi with Foundation Establishnt strength certainly wouldn’t be left to fend for themselves.
At present, the situation is just tense, with minor skirmishes...
Perhaps, full-scale warfare is not too far away!
Luo Chen was reflecting on the words spoken by Tian Xingzi prior to his departure.
There was a hint of regret in them.
Perhaps it was because the Foundation Establishnt Puppet, referring to Mi Shuhua, was not yet ready.
Now, the ssenger sent over arrived exactly two years later.
Apart from fulfilling the agreent, the mission was also to retrieve the puppet.
Luo Chen did not default and quickly handed over the ten thousand Spirit Stones prepared beforehand to Xu Ji.
That’s it, the transaction was cleared.
However, after completing the transaction, Xu Ji did not take his leave.
Looking at Luo Chen, he asked, "Do you know the location of The Great River District’s Duan Family?"
Luo Chen was taken aback, and instinctively asked, "Do you have a past connection with the Duan Family, Friend Xu?"
Xu Ji gave a faint smile.
"There is no past association per se. Just that one of the Duan Family mbers nearly beca a disciple of Master Tian Xingzi. Unfortunately, he failed in Foundation Establishnt, and thus the connection wasn’t made."
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.
He rembered Duan Feng’s father, who was once a disciple of Luo Yun Sect.
Perhaps, that’s the connection!
"Before Master left, he made a contract with the Duan Family’s Ancestor. I’m here to fulfil that."
A contract!
A sudden heaviness filled Luo Chen’s heart. He was not aware of any contract between Duan Qiankun and Tian Xingzi.
Leaving so many loose ends before leaving, Tian Xingzi...
Now that Duan Qiankun is dead, what about the deal...
Without any hesitation, Luo Chen imdiately said,
"I, of course, know where the Duan Family’s land is located, but it has long since been rebranded and renad. I fear you will return disappointed."
"Hmm?"
"The Duan Family is gone, and Duan Qiankun was blown up to pieces. Only a magic item called Ze Guo Kui Map was left and was taken away by another Foundation Establishnt practitioner nad Nangong Jin."
Xu Ji was stunned.
"Dead?"
Without any concealnt, Luo Chen imdiately shared the information about Luo Tian Creed’s attack on Xiao Huan Mountain with Xu Ji in detail.
Especially emphasizing Duan Qiankun’s annihilation.
After that, Luo Chen took his leave on the flying boat.
After he left, Xu Ji stayed in the sa spot, his expression shifting.
...
In the sky above.
Luo Chen stood on the flying boat, his expression equally shifting.
"To think there was such a connection, and even an unfinished transaction."
"What Tian Xingzi sought must have been of high value."
"But according to the battle gains counted by Sima Huiniang, although there were valuable items, they certainly were not what Tian Xingzi desired."
"In other words, the desired object is likely in the storage bag left by Duan Qiankun."
The storage bag left by Duan Qiankun was currently with Luo Chen.
He was certainly unwilling to hand it over directly.
The spoils included his portion, Wang Yuan’s portion, and Duan Feng’s portion.
If he handed it over, the benefits of the attack on Xiao Huan Mountain would be considerably reduced.
Luo Chen had made plans long ago.
After the Foundation Establishnt, he planned to use his Spirit Consciousness to gradually erase the mark left by Duan Qiankun on the Storage Bag.
But now, sobody was eyeing it.
Luo Chen withdrew the flying boat, his lips pursed.
The Cloud-Stepping Boots and the Carefree Wind Control were simultaneously activated.
In a blink of an eye, he transford into a flash of light and disappeared into the horizon.
...
At the foot of Xiao Huan Mountain.
Youthful-looking Xu Ji was looking at the renovated Xiao Huan Mountain in awe.
There were giant trees transplanted, a small lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and there was a hint of pavilions and towers on the mountainside.
"Luo Tian Creed?"
He heard of this power from Elder Tian Xingzi.
It is the power of a group led by a Pill Refiner, which possesses a Pill Refiner with the achievent of Ninth Level Qi Refinent.
Their proficiency in pill refinent is quite impressive.
Elder Tian Xingzi once suspected that the Blood Ignition pill ca from this force.
However, when he found out that there was a Second Order Pill Refiner behind Murong Yuan, he dismissed this suspicion.
"Can such a Qi Refinent power overturn a Foundation Establishnt Clan?"
Xu Ji felt quite dejected.
This is a sudden complication, isn’t it?
He doesn’t know whether to say the Duan Family was too weak or that several local powers tead up to secretly strike against it.
If it were the latter, he may have co for nothing.
"However, I have a Foundation Establishnt puppet on hand, maybe I can negotiate with them?"
Just as he was about to step forward, the patrolling team guarding the mountain had already detected him.
"Who goes there?"
"Xu Ji of Luo Yun Sect, paying a visit!"
The clear voice, through the Foundation Establishnt puppet of Mi Shuhua, echoed out in an instant.
The sound resonated even to the high skies above.
...
...
"Sword Sheath? A Magic Tool?"
Inside the Universe Hall, Sima Huiniang wore a puzzled face.
"Friend Xu, are you sure it’s not a Flying Sword Magic Tool?"
Xu Ji said with certainty, "It is a sword sheath."
Sima Huiniang was perplexed.
"The Duan Family, famous in The Great River District for tool casting, was well known for forging dium Grade Flying Swords. As is well known, Flying Sword Magic Tools rarely co with sheaths."
