Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

Yao Han nodded, beaming.

"Very well, with your talent, it's only a matter of time before you reach the Foundation Establishment stage. I wish you a speedy Foundation Establishment."

Gao Yang stood up to return the greeting, his posture remaining humble and polite.

He turned and walked out of the hall, and the elders who accompanied him quickly followed, all of them with rather unpleasant expressions.

After leaving the palace gate, we arrived at the mountain gate.

Gao Yang turned around and looked at the majestic mountain gate of the Fierce Blade Sect, his smile disappearing.

Ferocious, violent, and ashamed.

Yao Ruobai's refusal to see him at least aroused his suspicion.

And all of this is because of Luo Chen.

That shameless son-in-law who slaughtered his entire family, that scum who stole his woman, killed his cauldron, and ruined his reputation.

If it weren't for Luo Chen, the Zhu family wouldn't have fallen, and Julie wouldn't have died.

His plan wouldn't fall through, and Yao Ruobai wouldn't suspect him.

As long as Luo Chen is alive, his anger will not subside, and his heart will be even more uneasy.

"Young Master."

An elder stepped forward from behind. "Are we... returning to our sect?"

Gao Yang slowly turned his head, his eyes swirling with sinister intent.

"Don't go back to the sect yet, come with me to Great Wilderness City."

The elders exchanged glances, their expressions changing slightly.

Great Wilderness City—that's Luo Chen's territory.

Last time, You Cheng led six disciples there, and two of them were killed on the spot. The remaining four crawled back with injuries.

Even though he himself was only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, he was knocked back by a single palm strike from a mere Grandmaster.

This matter has spread throughout the Martial Green Sect. When the elders talk about it in private, they all feel that Luo Chen is very strange.

But would those four late-stage Foundation Establishment experts be afraid?

"Yes, young master."

Gao Yang stared in the direction of the Great Wilderness City.

"I can't sleep soundly until Luo Chen dies."

"I will definitely settle this score when I go to Great Wilderness City."

Dahuang City, Feng Family Courtyard.

The spiritual mist from the Earth Spirit Marrow was so thick it couldn't be dispersed, a vast expanse of white billowing through the courtyard.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, continuously circulating the Tai Xu Hun Tian Gong.

The spiritual energy was drawn from the earth's spiritual marrow and poured into his body through the spirit-guiding array. The true energy in his meridians was like a rushing river, washing over every inch of his bones and muscles.

In just a few days, he had already reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

This speed is terrifying.

For an ordinary martial arts practitioner to climb from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level, it would take at least several years of hard work.

Even those geniuses who are cherished by the major sects cannot reach the threshold of the fourth level in less than a year or two.

And he did it in less than ten days.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, feeling the true energy in his dantian that was several times more concentrated than before, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Feng Wanyi sat cross-legged beside him, her body radiating spiritual light.

She had just finished her practice and opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

Grandmaster Level 5.

She looked down at her hands, still somewhat dazed.

It took him a day to go from Martial Master to Grandmaster, and a few days to go from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster. Now he has directly reached the fifth level of Great Grandmaster.

This speed was something she never even dared to dream of before.

In just a few days, he has already left his grandfather and father behind.

She tugged at Luo Chen's sleeve, her voice filled with barely suppressed panic.

"My lord, won't our rapid advancement arouse suspicion?"

She wasn't ignorant; she knew exactly what the fifth level of a Grandmaster meant.

In the entire Great Wilderness City, you could count the number of people who have reached this level on one hand.

She's a newlywed who's only been married for a few days, and suddenly she's risen to this level. How could outsiders not have any suspicions?

Seeing her nervous expression, Luo Chen patted the back of her hand.

"It's alright. Even if someone has doubts, as long as they enter here, I will remove the great formation, and the spiritual energy will no longer flow out. This courtyard will be no different from usual."

"So go ahead and cultivate, don't worry. Even if something happens, your husband will take care of it."

Seeing his calm demeanor, Feng Wanyi nodded and felt reassured again.

With her husband by her side, what did she have to fear? Even if the sky were to fall, he would be the first to hold it up.

"Luo Chen, come out for a moment."

Suddenly, Feng Kun's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Feng Wanyi's heart jumped.

She had instructed her family not to disturb her unless there was something important to discuss.

My father suddenly came to call me; he must have something important to say.

"Has something happened?"

She looked at Luo Chen nervously.

"I'm going out to take a look."

Luo Chen stood up, slowly put on his robe, pushed open the courtyard gate, and walked out.

In the hall, Zhao Meng was standing next to Feng Kun.

Upon seeing Luo Chen, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Your subordinate greets the master."

Luo Chen nodded: "No need for formalities, just say what's on your mind."

He first bowed to Feng Kun as a greeting.

Feng Kun smiled and waved his hand. Judging from Zhao Meng's posture, he knew that something had happened at the manor.

"Then you two, master and servant, can chat. I'll go back to my cultivation now."

"Thank you for your hard work, Father-in-law." Luo Chen cupped his hands in thanks again.

Feng Kun laughed and said, "It's alright." He then turned and walked towards his own courtyard.

Zhao Meng waited until Feng Kun was far away before lowering his voice to speak.

"Master, the Luo family has arrived. They are currently waiting at the manor."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

Are people from the Luo family here?

The Luo family of Baiqingcheng!

Since he married into the Zhu family, not a single member of the Luo family has come to visit him.

When he was treated like a dog in the Zhu family, the Luo family didn't utter a single word.

Why did the Luo family suddenly think of him at this moment?

"Who is coming? Do you know their name?"

Zhao Meng thought for a moment and said, "The man who came called himself Luo Ming, and he looked slightly younger than the patriarch. He was accompanied by three Grandmaster-level guest elders, who seemed to be young masters from your main family."

Luo Chen's lips curled into a smile.

Luo Ming? His third uncle's son, his nominal cousin.

When he was with the Luo family, this kid bullied him a lot because his third uncle was the clan's manager.

Serving tea and water, washing clothes and sweeping the floor—all the chores that servants used to do were dumped on him back then.

"So it was him."

Luo Chen smiled, a smile that held a hint of something that others couldn't quite decipher.

"Let's go back and take a look."

The two continued walking and soon returned to the Luo residence.

Lei Zheng was squatting by the door with a pipe in his mouth when he saw Luo Chen return. He stood up and went to greet him.

"Patriarch, the person inside is from your clan, so I didn't stop them and let them in."

He spoke with a tone that carried a hint of explanation.

Back when he first arrived, he wouldn't have bothered to explain.

Why would a peak Foundation Establishment Stage 9 expert need to report to you if he lets a few people into his courtyard?

But ever since he acquired the Shattering Star Hammer Technique, he has developed a great deal of awe and respect for Luo Chen.

Luo Chen spoke calmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"From now on, anyone who comes besides my wife and me, keep them out."

Lei Zheng pulled the pipe out of his mouth and nodded solemnly: "Okay."

He understood what Luo Chen meant.

No matter if they are members of the Luo family or anyone else, they are not allowed to enter unless the head of the family and his wife personally give their approval.

Once the rules are established, he will simply follow them from now on.

"Zhao Meng, you can go ahead and do your work. You don't need to follow me."

Luo Chen gave Zhao Meng an instruction and then walked directly towards the main hall.

The lobby door was open.

Before Luo Chen even entered the room, he heard a lazy yawn coming from inside.

Then came a young man, who drew out his voice.

"My legs are aching from walking. You there—lower yourself down, bend your back, yes, like that."
