Chapter 54
The Blood Refining Sect makes its move, and a great battle breaks out.
The next day.
Inside the camp.
Luo Chen stood respectfully to one side.
Opposite to him.
Sitting upright, her graceful figure and stunning beauty, even in a pure white fox fur coat, were undeniable. Her demeanor was both aloof and lively.
Luo Chen glanced at Shangguan Changyue beside him, then at the woman opposite him.
That's right,
Luo Chen didn't expect to meet his former boss again so soon.
I never expected that.
Princess Leng Ruxue of Zhenbei will personally come to win him over.
"Your Highness, the conditions in the camp are rather basic..."
"It's alright."
Leng Ruxue looked at Luo Chen with a smile, her natural demeanor contrasting sharply with her cold expression.
"I've heard about you from Changyue before, but unfortunately, I left in a hurry last time and didn't get to meet this young genius from the Northern Territory sooner."
The sound was like the echoing of a clear spring, melodious and pleasant to the ear.
"Your Highness flatters me." Luo Chen's eyes remained calm, showing no excessive emotion despite the princess's praise.
He harbored neither goodwill nor malice towards the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.
Of course, this is assuming that the dragon was out of control some time ago and the Prince of Zhenbei did not take action.
His mindset upon meeting the people from the Prince's residence is questionable.
"I'm not exaggerating. In the major cities of the Northern Territory, who among the powerful families and clans doesn't know your name, Luo Chen!"
Leng Ruxue smiled warmly.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a jade book.
"You are a genius of my Northern Demon Suppression Division, and of course we cannot bury your talent. This is a cultivation technique that can open 360 acupoints. You can take a look."
Leng Ruxue's eyes flickered as she looked at the young man opposite her.
She was aware of Luo Chen's achievements when she arrived, including his slaying of a demon at the peak of the Profound Aperture realm.
However, according to Shangguan Changyue's account...
Luo Chen only has one copy of the "Great Sun Divine Spring Secret Manual" that she gave him, which can open 260 profound apertures.
Even setting aside the speed of Luo Chen's progress.
How to kill a demon with perfected profound acupoints using 260 acupoints?
It sounded like a fantasy at first.
The retainers of the Prince's mansion speculated that Luo Chen also possessed other opportunities and inheritances.
So now she's giving away a martial arts manual that can open 360 acupoints.
It was both an attempt to win them over and a test.
Under the gaze of two stunningly beautiful women.
Luo Chen accepted the jade book with both hands and said respectfully.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."
Luo Chen accepted it.
Leng Ruxue's smile remained unchanged, but she merely raised an eyebrow.
He remained silent as he looked at Luo Chen, who, according to his divine perception, only possessed the cultivation level of the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm.
She simply couldn't believe that Luo Chen didn't have a powerful backing force behind him, given his ability to conceal himself.
Although nothing was found out.
However, as long as Luo Chen accepts his gifts, his objective will be achieved.
Leng Ruxue finally asked Luo Chen a few words of concern.
He then got up and left.
The Princess Consort of Zhenbei's trip is not simply to win over Luo Chen.
Shangguan Changyue and Luo Chen followed closely behind, walking out of the tent.
Watching the princess's carriage disappear into the wind and snow.
Shangguan Changyue whispered her instructions.
"Strive to cultivate diligently, for in the future, when the world is in turmoil, even the Demon Suppression Division will not be able to remain unaffected."
The Demon Suppression Division is composed entirely of martial artists.
This is a force that cannot be ignored.
If a major war breaks out in the future, the Demon Suppression Division will inevitably go to war with the army.
"Changyue, you must be careful too."
Luo Chen nodded and asked softly with concern.
Shangguan Changyue smiled and then gracefully disappeared.
Luo Chen turned and went back into his tent.
He examined the jade book in his hand.
Nine Swords Azure Lotus Secret Manual!
It is a technique that can cultivate the 360 acupoints of the Mysterious Aperture.
He casually flipped through it a few times before putting it into his storage space.
"The princess didn't say whether it could be taught to others, so it should be... possible!"
Luo Chen muttered to himself.
This secret manual was useless to him.
It's worth keeping for Yao Yao's cultivation!
As for the attempts by the Prince of Zhenbei to win him over, he remained unmoved.
Being located in the Northern Demon Suppression Division, they naturally bear the label of the Northern Prince's Mansion.
It made little difference to him.
If you dare to give me benefits, I dare to accept them.
As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?
If it weren't for not wanting to reveal his divine intent cultivation level...
He even dared to directly ask for cultivation resources for the Divine Realm.
…………
One month from now.
Luo Chen underestimated the boost that being ranked 11th on the Hidden Dragon List would give him.
Many of the Demon Suppression Captains who had never met before came to befriend him.
Luo Chen didn't put on airs.
He seemed very approachable.
Now, in the camp, I can chat with anyone for a while.
"Boss, the snow has stopped!"
A gasp echoed through the camp.
Wang Yue rushed in, his voice filled with barely concealed panic.
Rumble!
Just as Luo Chen looked up.
Above the sky, thunder roared and echoed throughout the heavens and earth, accompanied by a sea of purple lightning.
Luo Chen lifted the tent flap and frowned as he looked at the distant horizon.
Within the purple sea of lightning, a hundred-foot-long dragon coiled and weaved through the thunderclouds, its roars echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
Four crimson pillars of light shot into the sky from the four directions of the sea of thunder, and chains covered with inscriptions and mottled bloodstains weaved through the void, binding the sea of thunder.
"You bastard!"
In the central camp.
Zhuge Xing's eyes were sharp, and as he flipped his folding fan, a white jade longsword still appeared in his palm.
"We've finally waited for you."
"Blood Refining Sect!"
As he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.
"All demon-suppressing captains, guard the four directions, and do not let a single demon escape!"
Luo Chen withdrew his gaze and led the group of demon-suppressing envoys toward the area they were guarding.
He was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Suppression Division had been waiting for the Blood Refining Sect to make the first move.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.
After all, an enemy that has been hiding in the shadows is too dangerous.
The Demon Suppression Division can afford to wait, but the Blood Refining Sect might not.
"That dragon Ao Sheng is at the Dharma Aspect Realm. The fact that the Blood Refining Sect dared to attack it right under the nose of the Demon Suppression Division shows that its strength is extraordinary."
Luo Chen sighed, realizing that although he was considered quite good among young people.
However, it still falls short in the face of such a situation.
It was as if he had thought of something.
While traveling, Luo Chen used telepathy to awaken the sleeping Li Changsheng.
"Senior, this dragon is about to be ganged up on. What do you think?"
Li Changsheng groggily awoke, sensing the battle taking place in a distant land, and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.
"What does it have to do with me? It's not my offspring."
"But you guys are really daring!"
"This is the only dragon in the Dragon Palace!"
"That old dragon isn't dead yet!"
In the sea of thunder.
Ancient, mottled soul-refining chains came and bound around Ao Sheng's massive body.
His cold, vertical pupils were filled with boiling killing intent.
Just as Li Changsheng said.
Even though he was surrounded by the Demon Suppression Division for months, Ao Sheng did not believe that they would dare to kill him.
But this bewilderment only lasted a short while.
The enormous dragon's body crashed down, and ancient inscriptions flickered on the refining chains that bound it, while flames burning its soul continuously eroded its sea of consciousness.
The dragon raised its head and crashed into the center of the formation, writhing in endless soul-devouring pain.
"You...you're asking for it!"
