Huangdao Mountain!

Lifeng City.

A small town on the northern frontier.

Because Luo Chen needed to go into seclusion, he allowed Wang Yue and the other Demon Suppression Envoys to rest and recuperate here.

They had been traveling around for a year and a half and hadn't had a proper rest.

Upon exiting the pass, Luo Chen received a message from Wang Yue and had already arrived.

In a secluded courtyard in the city.

Because it is unknown how long Luo Chen will need to go into seclusion.

Wang Yue and his group then rented a courtyard house.

At this moment, in the courtyard.

All the demon-suppressing envoys gathered together.

The group discussed amongst themselves. After more than a year of dealing with demons, even Wei Yang, Yu Shi, and the others had matured considerably, and their actions were decisive and efficient.

Luo Chen pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

His aura didn't leak out at all, and he looked just like an ordinary person.

"Boss!"

Everyone stood up to greet them, speaking respectfully.

"Hmm." Luo Chen nodded to everyone and reached out to take the demon-slaying jade book that Wang Yue handed over.

He was afraid that he would miss the orders issued from above while in seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, Luo Chen entrusted the Demon Exorcism Jade Book to Wang Yue for safekeeping.

Upon opening the latest message in the jade book, Luo Chen was puzzled.

"What major developments have occurred in the outside world during my seclusion?"

The above statement is very concise.

The message was simply that Luo Chen should head to Huangdao Mountain as soon as possible; there was no other information provided.

In response to Luo Chen's question.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yue and the others told him what they had heard recently.

"A sect that had been hidden in the ancient Sword Abyss has emerged with great momentum and joined our Northern Frontier camp."

"Ten days ago, a giant, savage tortoise carrying a mountain on its back appeared in the upper reaches of the Bailong River, but it disappeared in just a moment."

"Also, the northern forces have all gathered at Huangdao Mountain, and I don't know what they're up to."

Luo Chen pondered carefully in his mind, tapping the jade book in his hand with his fingertips.

Giant Turtle of Bailong River!

This should be Li Changsheng, who has almost fully recovered.

I just didn't expect it to stay in Bailongjiang.

Open the geomantic map and check the location of Qihuangdao Mountain.

It happens to be located in the central region of the North.

"You haven't been home for over a year. I'm going to Huangdao Mountain; you should go back to Qingyuan City first!"

At this time, they were located on the northern border.

It would take Luo Chen quite a while to go to Huangdao Mountain and back, so it would be better to meet up in Qingyuan City later.

"Boss, take care on your journey."

He bid farewell to everyone.

Luo Chen's figure soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with longing.

……

three days later.

Luo Chen traveled along the way, stopping frequently to gather information whenever he encountered a city.

After leaving the northern border city, the information became significantly more accurate.

"At this time, the Imperial Road Mountain has gathered the vast majority of forces in the Northern Territory."

"There's been no word out about what the Prince of Zhenbei is planning."

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Three more days passed.

Luo Chen is very close to Huangdao Mountain.

He deliberately slowed down his pace.

As they approached Huangdao Mountain, the various forces that had gathered there met one another, all because of the order from the Prince of Zhenbei.

Luo Chen landed on an official road and chose to keep a low profile.

To avoid trouble, he changed into the robes of a demon-suppressing captain, and indeed, he encountered far fewer problems while walking on the road.

Looking into the distance, there is that majestic mountain.

At that moment, a sunset shone on the mountaintop, its golden light dazzling and sacred.

When he arrived at the foot of Huangdao Mountain, he saw the Demon Suppression Division's camp.

The demon-suppressing captains chatted idly in the camp.

Luo Chen stroked his chin, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, and felt much more relaxed.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it seemed like a harmonious scene.

Luo Chen's arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Even if you've never met Luo Chen, as long as you've read the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you'll naturally recognize him.

Luo Chen greeted everyone with a smile.

Some of the captains of the Demon Division of Qingyuan Town were also present.

Get to know everyone.

Xiao Xiuzhu, who had arrived ahead of time, pulled him into the camp of the Demon Division in Qingyuan Town.

"My friend, it's been over a year, but you're still as dashing as ever!"

Xiao Xiuzhu sighed. At this moment, his chin was unshaven, and his demeanor was no longer as sharp as it used to be.

When Xiao Xiuzhu saw Luo Chen again and saw that he hadn't changed much from before, he was filled with emotion.

Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder, without asking what he had been through.

If you want to say it, you will say it.

Upon entering the camp of the Demon Division in Qingyuan Town, one finds familiar colleagues all inside, leading to a great deal of conversation among them.

Luo Chen casually found a chair to sit down and asked.

"Gentlemen, why has the General summoned us this time?"

Since everyone was already at Huangdao Mountain and they were all colleagues, there was naturally nothing they couldn't say.

A burly man spoke up, his voice rough.

"I've heard that a peerless divine weapon is being forged atop Huangdao Mountain."

"This ceremony has attracted representatives from numerous forces in the Northern Territory!"

"Among us in the Demon Suppression Division, only Demon Suppression Captains at the Profound Aperture Realm or above are allowed to come here."

"Weren't you sent here by the Demon Exorcism Jade Scroll?" Luo Chen took out the jade scroll from his bosom and asked, puzzled.

The order of the Demon Suppression Division Commander is clearly visible above.

For a moment, silence fell over the tent.

Xiao Xiuzhu shook his head with a wry smile, "We are not among the top talents on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

Luo Chen silently put away the Demon Exorcism Jade Book.

What does "General" mean?

Luo Chen was puzzled; there must be some hidden secrets about Huangdao Mountain that no one else knew.

Just as the camp was bustling again.

Outside the camp.

A young man's voice rang out.

"Luo Chen is among the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

"Zhou Hui from Fengmai Mountain, here comes the challenge!"

"Do you dare accept the challenge!"

Inside the camp.

Everyone turned to look at Luo Chen, who sat calmly and composed.

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is conflict.

Moreover, Huangdao Mountain is currently a gathering place for people from various major forces in the Northern Territory.

When many exceptionally talented and outstanding young people meet, they will naturally compare and learn from each other.

"Brother, you're currently ranked 10th on the Hidden Dragon List this week, so you'd better be careful."

Xiao Xiuzhu couldn't help but remind him.

Luo Chen nodded upon hearing this, his expression unusually solemn.

They looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Of course, he was faking it.

He lifted the tent flap and went outside, followed closely by the others. Such a battle among the prodigies of the Hidden Dragon Ranking was a rare sight.

This week's meeting caused a stir throughout the entire Demon Suppression Division camp.

The group of demon-suppressing captains looked on with amusement, and some even immediately notified their friends in other camps on Huangdao Mountain to come and watch the spectacle.

Outside the camp.

A large, muscular young man with a bronze complexion and angular features stood at the door, arms crossed, waiting quietly.

At his feet lay a giant bronze axe, its blade carved with the head of a taotie, looking ferocious and domineering.

[Weekly Meeting (Divine Will Condensation): 27/670.]

Luo Chen's eyes flashed, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other party.

He was thinking about how long the sparring should last and how many rounds he should let him have.

With a prodigy coming to challenge him, he couldn't possibly refuse under the watchful eyes of everyone.

If someone ranked higher than him, he would have a reason to refuse.

Now that he has a higher ranking and is on his own territory in the Demon Suppression Division's camp, it's inevitable that some strange discussions will arise if he avoids battle.

Luo Chen still had some pride.
