After sinking more than a hundred feet, his thoughts passed through a barrier.

This barrier, which is essentially a prohibition, explains why the Feng family built their house on top of it without noticing.

Fortunately, the spiritual senses probing the Burial Heaven Pavilion can penetrate any barrier without causing any disturbance.

"...Earth Spirit Essence?"

Luo Chen couldn't help but feel excited, which surprised him somewhat.

This is the Great Wilderness City of the Northern Region, how could it contain such pure spiritual essence?

A single drop of spiritual essence is comparable to a thousand top-grade spirit stones.

This earth spirit marrow covers an area of ​​hundreds of feet and is of unknown depth; it is an extremely vast cultivation resource.

The only problem now is that the spiritual essence is located beneath the Feng family's residence.

He had no grudge against the Feng family, so he couldn't just kill them all, could he?

Although he has the current strength to do it, he won't do it.

Even the strongest person has their limits.

Not killing indiscriminately is his bottom line.

After a moment's thought, a thought flashed in his eyes, and he had an idea.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the Spirit Essence Pool, he switched his view mode and explored Feng Wanyi's house.

A very pretty woman, dressed in a pure white gauze dress, was meditating with her eyes closed.

Her figure was graceful and elegant, rising from the mud unsullied, like a white lotus bud about to bloom.

They're quite diligent, but their skills are lacking?

Luo Chen withdrew his consciousness from the Burial Heaven Pavilion, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the paper.

Before long, a topographical map appeared on the paper, marking thirty spiritual treasure points of varying sizes.

These were all selected by him through his spiritual vision mode; their quality was neither too high nor too low, just right for his current use.

As for the Earth Spirit Essence beneath the Feng family's tomb, he hasn't touched it yet.

It's not that we're inactive, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

"Zhao Meng, Fang Hai, come in."

He called out towards the door.

The two men entered in response, bowing and clasping their hands in greeting: "What are your orders, Master?"

Luo Chen handed over the topographic map.

"These are the thirty spirit treasure locations I've marked. Take a few trusted brothers and go retrieve the items according to the map. Be careful, some places may be inhabited by demonic beasts."

Zhao Meng took the blueprints, his hands trembling.

Thirty spiritual treasure sites?

This is a huge secret!

The head of the family is just handed over to me like this?

"Master, this...this is too precious, I'm afraid I'll mess it up..." Zhao Meng was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

Luo Chen glanced at him.

"If you're worried about messing it up, then do it well. Once you get the goods back, you'll definitely get your share of the profits. But if you get greedy..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone could hear the chill in his voice.

Zhao Meng knelt down with a thud, and Fang Hai followed suit.

"Rest assured, Master! If I dare to harbor any disloyalty, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

"Alright, get up. I only entrusted this to you because I trust you. Go now."

The two stood up, and Zhao Meng carefully tucked the blueprints into his pocket, his eyes reddening.

He served the Zhu family for ten years, but the Zhu family never gave him a second glance.

Now the head of the family not only spared them, but also entrusted them with such a secret. What great trust this shows!

"Master, I will risk my life to bring those things back!"

Zhao Meng gritted his teeth, turned around and left with Fang Hai.

After leaving the Luo residence, Fang Hai hurried a few steps to get close to Zhao Meng.

"Brother Zhao, do you think this map the patriarch is real? Thirty spiritual treasures! The Zhu family hasn't discovered them in all these years, how did the patriarch know?"

Zhao Meng glared at him.

"Why do you care how you know? We just need to get things done."

Fang Hai scratched his head.

"It just feels too far-fetched. You know, the head of the family used to be bullied by the Zhu family all the time, how come he suddenly seems like a completely different person?"

Zhao Meng sighed and spoke as he walked.

"Don't overthink it. Let me tell you, some people aren't incompetent, they just haven't had the chance to show their skills yet. The Zhu family and their ilk were blind to talent, mistaking a real dragon for a mudfish, and they deserved their fate."

Fang Hai nodded.

"That's true, then we'd better do a good job and not let the master down."

Zhao Meng patted him on the shoulder.

"That's right. If we succeed this time, we brothers will have gained a foothold in front of the master. Need I say more about the benefits that will follow?"

Fang Hai chuckled.

"Brother Zhao, I'll listen to you."

Zhao Meng touched the blueprints in his arms, feeling inexplicably nervous and emotional.

The patriarch has just taken over the position and entrusted me with such a big secret. What a great trust that is!

Even if it costs me my life, I will get things done.

......

Main hall.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, slowly circulating the Tai Xu Hun Tian Gong.

The bottleneck at the peak of the Grandmaster level has loosened.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window at the courtyard.

Based on the timeline, the messenger Julie sent to inform Wu Qingzong should have arrived by now.

Given Wu Qingzong Gao Yang's personality, he would definitely not let the matter rest once he learned that Julie was in trouble.

After all, a furnace for a water-elemental root is not as common as cabbage.

A slight smirk appeared on his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Come on, let's settle the score then.

Luo Chen closed his eyes and continued to absorb spirit stones to cultivate.

The stronger you are, the more confident you become.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and he continued his cultivation.

He had refined most of the Zhu family's resources.

Suddenly, fluctuations emanated from the Burial Pavilion within the sea of ​​consciousness.

With the view mode activated, more than a dozen figures with extraordinary presence appeared within the perception range.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, his aura deep and unfathomable.

Twelve disciples in green robes followed behind him, each with a steady gait and concealed inner strength.

People from Wu Qingzong have arrived.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Luo Chen's lips.

Soon the group arrived at the door, and one of them raised his hand and slammed it against the door.

boom!

With a loud bang, the gate was blasted into pieces.

The guards were so frightened that they scrambled inside to report the news.

"Master! Something terrible has happened! A group of powerful men have broken in!"

Luo Chen stood up, straightened his robes, and nodded calmly.

"Understood, you may leave."

The guard stepped aside, his legs still trembling, somewhat surprised.

In the past, when someone attacked, the Zhu family would send them forward to defend against it, but this new master is telling them to retreat?

At this moment, the dozen or so men had already stormed into the front yard.

The leading elder in black robes, Li Wanfeng, scanned the surroundings with a sinister gaze.

The twelve disciples in green robes stood on either side, each with an unfriendly gaze.

"Luo Chen, get out here!"

A disciple in blue robes shouted at the top of his lungs.

Luo Chen walked out of the main hall unhurriedly, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked indifferent.

"Who dares to bark like a dog in my Luo residence?"

The disciple in blue immediately sneered.

"The Luo family? Have you no shame? I, Wu Qingzong, only know this as the Zhu family. You, a son-in-law, have usurped the family's place and dare to call yourself the Luo family? You really don't know what's good for you."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"The Martial Azure Sect? People from major sects are indeed different from ordinary people. They broke down the door, barked at the door, and acted all smug. I've learned something new."

"you--"

The disciple in blue robes turned ashen-faced and was about to lash out.

The other disciples in blue robes nearby also erupted in anger.

"This kid's asking for it!"

"How dare you speak to us like that?"

"Elder, let me deal with him!"

Li Wanfeng raised his hand to stop the crowd, squinting at Luo Chen.

"Young man, the strong have their own way of doing things. If you can't stand it, just get used to it eventually."

He paused, his voice growing colder.

"Now that you know we are from the Wuqing Sect, you must know our purpose. Hand over Miss Zhu to us immediately. If anything happens to her, I will not let you off easily."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow dismissively.

"Miss Zhu will certainly be safe; it's just that you're too late."

Li Wanfeng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Luo Chen: "She's already gone."

"Gone? Where did they go?" Li Wanfeng asked, puzzled.

Luo Chen replied calmly, "The Underworld."

Li Wanfeng's expression changed drastically: "The underworld? You killed her?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow: "You guessed right. If your young master has a fetish for rotting corpses, I can tell you where to dump them."

Li Wanfeng flew into a rage, took a step forward, and unleashed his inner energy.

"How dare you! I bet you don't have the guts to kill her. You're just trying to keep her for yourself, aren't you? How dare you touch Miss Zhu? Hand her over right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Luo Chen shook his head, his smile full of mockery.

"I just said you were smart, but now you're confused again. If you don't believe me, go and ask around. The entire Zhu family has been slaughtered by me. Everyone in Dahuang City knows this."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Wuqing Sect changed color.

A disciple in blue robes leaned close to Li Wanfeng's ear.

"Elder, I think I heard someone mention this on the way here. I thought it was fake..."

Li Wanfeng's face was ashen as he stared intently at Luo Chen.

"You wretched creature, how dare you kill my young sect leader's men! You have a death wish!"

Luo Chen sneered.

"What a joke! Your young master's woman? She's my wife. Is your young master such a filthy slut who covets other people's women?"

"How dare you! You insult my young master!"

A disciple in green robes burst into the air and struck Luo Chen with a palm.

This person is a ninth-level Grandmaster, which is considered peak combat power in the Great Wilderness City. He doesn't take Luo Chen seriously at all. Under my palm strike, this arrogant fellow will definitely be severely injured.

Li Wanfeng watched with his arms crossed, while the other disciples watched with schadenfreude.

We're just waiting to see how Luo Chen gets knocked down and begs for mercy.
