Divine Intent Takes Form

Snow was falling heavily.

The true energy on the golden scale blade roared out.

Wherever it went, the ice layer shattered in mid-air like snowflakes, turning into frost that fluttered down.

The distinctive figure of the Taoist priest in front of him was reduced to nothingness before he could even react to the incoming true energy.

Golden scales are sheathed.

Luo Chen walked step by step to the Demon Suppressor's body, which stood frozen into an ice sculpture in the wind and snow.

He gave a signal to the front and waited in place for a moment.

Amidst the hazy snow, Wang Yue and the others quickly arrived.

"Boss?"

As Wang Yue approached and stepped inside, he discovered that the surrounding ice was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by some sharp instrument.

Then my gaze fell upon the ice sculpture in front of me.

After seeing his appearance clearly, he fell silent.

"Let's take him back with us."

Luo Chen patted Wang Yue on the shoulder, indicating his presence.

"clear."

Wang Yue agreed and called over a Demon Suppressor who had free hands to help.

The two of them worked together to lift the ice sculpture.

On the way back afterwards.

Luo Chen encountered two more groups of demon blood warriors, but they were not strong and he easily dealt with them.

The prompt indicating the increase in lifespan flashed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Luo Chen was too lazy to even look at it.

"These demon blood warriors have not reached the Divine Intent Realm in terms of strength, and their lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people. Furthermore, by fusing with such violent demonic power, their lifespan is severely shortened, and they are all short-lived ghosts."

In Luo Chen's view.

Such demon blood warriors are merely expendable resources.

It is estimated that as long as there is enough demon blood or other special items, it can be mass-produced.

These demon blood warriors scattered around the Bailong River were probably not targeting him.

Because the other party couldn't possibly kill him with that kind of strength.

It's possible that I just happened to encounter a swindler lurking in the Bailong River.

But this also sent a signal to myself.

That means his and Li Changsheng's previous speculation was correct.

There really was a faction of demon blood warriors secretly eyeing this place.

The group returned to the main camp.

Wang Yue and his men carried the corpses of their comrades and the spoils of war to report back.

Luo Chen then made his way to the central tent.

The demon-suppressing envoy guarding the gate went to report.

A moment later, Luo Chen received a signal and pushed open the door.

They entered the tent.

A wave of warmth washed over him, and even though Luo Chen's body was not affected by the cold, he felt extremely comfortable in the tent.

At this time, many demon-suppressing captains were already in the camp discussing and reporting.

Zhuge Xing remained languid, a smile on his face, as if he took everything in stride.

Luo Chen walked in.

He smiled at Luo Chen and silently pointed to the chair next to him.

Among the group of demon-suppressing captains, some of whom were acquaintances, they greeted each other in hushed tones.

Luo Chen nodded to the people around him, sat down in a chair, and listened to their discussion.

"Commander-in-Chief, after a two-week search of Area A-1, dozens of demon blood warriors have been spotted and captured."

"We also have traces of demon-blooded warriors in our Area A, Zone 9, and one of our Demon Suppression Envoys is seriously injured!"

One of the demon-suppressing captains slammed his fist on the chair and said angrily.

Clearly, he had suffered a loss at the hands of the demon blood warrior.

Luo Chen listened carefully and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

The forces behind these demonic blood warriors were not targeting him.

Or perhaps he simply didn't remember his existence.

These demons are now appearing throughout the entire Bailong River, both upstream and downstream, which has brought considerable trouble to the mission of the Demon Suppression Division.

Luo Chen also gave a brief report on the situation in the area he was patrolling.

Because he didn't have many men under his command, the area he patrolled was only the C-level area.

After the group of demon-suppressing captains finished their report.

Zhuge Xing, who was at the head of the table, then spoke in a low voice.

"According to the intelligence bureau of the Demon Suppression Division, the force behind this demon blood warrior is a demonic sect called the Blood Refining Sect."

When he said this,

Zhuge Xing even glanced in Luo Chen's direction.

His previous speculation that the Heavenly Demon Sect was the mastermind behind Zhuge Yucheng was clearly wrong.

But Luo Chen kept his eyes straight ahead, his face expressionless.

Zhuge Xing coughed lightly and then continued.

"The Blood Refining Sect is a sect that specializes in using the essence of demons and monsters as a catalyst to replace their own bloodline, thereby refining demonic martial arts."

Eighty years ago, the Prince of Zhenbei saw that this sect was mostly vicious and cruel, so he took action to suppress and kill them.

I just didn't expect that the Blood Refining Sect would still have any descendants left.

As Zhuge Xing finished speaking.

The group of demon-suppressing captains below immediately began to discuss among themselves.

a long time.

A demon-suppressing captain stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said solemnly.

"My lord, the situation is currently a three-way battle. When should we begin our attack on the underwater Dragon Palace?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, such extreme cold is unprecedented in my life. Those who are not at a high level will find it difficult to sustain the consumption of qi and blood for such a long time."

As someone spoke up.

The others also expressed their concerns.

Zhuge Xing glanced at the sky outside and simply said something in a low voice.

"Just wait."

"The villages and towns along the Bailong River have long been destroyed by that giant wave."

"Since there's no need for special protection along the coast, you can reduce the frequency of your patrols from now on."

"The commanders of the other five cities summoned me for discussions today, so let's conclude here."

After Zhuge Xing finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the tent.

Luo Chen and the other Demon Suppression Captains followed closely behind.

The group exchanged glances, watching Zhuge Xing transform into a streak of light and disappear into the snowstorm.

The demon-suppressing captains dispersed in twos and threes.

Xiao Xiuzhu and Yue Wuchang came to Luo Chen's side.

Luo Chen was surprised to see Yue Wuchang after not seeing him for many days, and clasped his hands in congratulations.

"Congratulations, Uncle Yue, on your further advancement in strength and breakthrough to the Profound Aperture Realm."

Yue Wuchang was radiant lately, and upon hearing Luo Chen's congratulations, he could no longer suppress his smile.

"Haha, I'm in a good mood lately, let's go for a drink."

After saying that, he pulled Luo Chen and Xiao Xiuzhu back to his own tent.

Luo Chen felt somewhat helpless.

But he couldn't refuse the kindness of his elders who took such good care of him.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Luo Chen returned to his tent, reeking of alcohol.

Sitting upright in front of the stove, as my blood and energy circulated, my eyes instantly became clear.

I glanced at my progress on the panel.

[Realm: Divine Intent (Divine Intent Condensed 10%)]

In the second stage of the Divine Realm, spiritual power surges like a tidal wave, and divine sense can detect objects within a radius of ten miles.

You can touch the supernatural phenomena in the visualization diagram to resonate with the heavens and earth.

It is also possible to manipulate objects and fly by using immense spiritual power!

Martial artists who reach this level are core members and pillars of strength, regardless of the faction they belong to.

Moreover, Luo Chen is only 18 years old this year.

His talent has already surpassed that of all the prodigies in the North.

However, Luo Chen became even more careful to conceal his cultivation level.

Aside from his unwavering dedication to cultivating for a year's worth of life every day, he only uses profound techniques in the outside world.

Even so, his rate of progress still seemed terrifyingly monstrous to outsiders.

Some time ago, Wang Yue also brought the latest Northern Hidden Dragon List.

Luo Chen's name was prominently displayed, ranking 11th on the potential list.

With all ten of the top ten being martial artists at the Divine Intent Realm, the significance of his 11th place ranking at the age of 18 is self-evident.

Because of his track record, but even more so because of his age.

This update to the Hidden Dragon Ranking has made Luo Chen's name resound throughout the twelve cities of the Northern Territory!

Meanwhile, the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion also tried to win them over!
