Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

The reason why Su Chen has not shown up yet.

They only used the Fire Lotus to restrain the two.

The reason is also very simple.

Let's fight head-on for a few rounds.

With his early Nascent Soul cultivation level, and without knowing the opponent's trump cards...

It's true that you're likely to suffer losses.

Moreover, his greatest trump card lies in the ancient cultivator's techniques.

That incredibly powerful narrow slit in the sky.

But that move absolutely cannot miss.

Now Su Chen is using the Fire Lotus to restrain the opponent, preventing them from moving freely.

Furthermore, they were operating in the shadows while the other side was in the open.

They were absolutely certain that these two would not be able to dodge this attack.

While the two were still trapped.

"call out!"

An extremely fine stream of spiritual energy shot out from the blind spot in their line of sight the next moment.

But this spiritual energy was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Even if the two are mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

At this moment, they didn't even have time to use their natal magic weapon, and they already knew it was too late.

In a single instant, it pierced through both of them.

They weren't given any time to react at all.

Two figures were seen falling downwards from the sky.

The twelve fiery lotuses instantly surrounded it.

A scream.

Immediately afterwards, the two cultivators were reduced to dust!

Wang Mei was stunned.

I felt like I was sweating profusely just now.

Even now, when I think back to that moment, my hands are still trembling slightly.

It's not because of anything else.

Su Chen's two moves were both incredibly powerful.

If those twelve strange fire lotuses were a means to crush opponents even when they were beyond one's cultivation level.

That move, which pierced through the spiritual power of two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, was truly terrifying.

Wang Mei saw it all clearly in that instant.

That's terrifyingly powerful penetrating force generated by spiritual energy under extreme compression.

In that instant, it seemed as if the surrounding mountains and rivers trembled slightly.

The space-time around that spiritual energy seemed to distort for a moment.

It is comparable to the spatial laws of the Nascent Soul realm.

Can...

This true disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect is just a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage!

Wang Mei has now realized something.

That is because he had never thought highly of Su Chen before.

He always felt that with his Nascent Soul cultivator cultivation level, he was more than capable of crushing Su Chen.

Moreover, he made things difficult for Su Chen during their several meetings.

If Su Chen really wanted to kill him.

I fear that I am now utterly unable to escape.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"What are you spacing out for?"

While Wang Mei was distracted, Su Chen had already slipped to her side.

The sudden appearance startled Wang Mei.

After confirming that Su Chen had no intention of attacking her, Wang Mei finally withdrew her shocked expression.

"You little brat..."

"I underestimated you."

Wang Mei's lips twitched at that moment.

"Yo!"

"To receive praise from a mean woman like you."

"You know what, right?"

"It actually makes me feel quite good."

Su Chen said jokingly.

"Feeling good?"

"hehe..."

"You've got a way with words, kid."

Wang Mei glanced at Su Chen with her almond-shaped eyes, and then stepped into the air to get closer to him.

He looked her up and down.

"Don't try that on me, you woman."

"I already have two Daoist partners, and I do have two of them."

"There's no room for any other woman in my heart anymore."

Su Chen made a joke with a smile.

"You're overthinking it!"

"Even if you really do have some skill."

"I would never have any other feelings for you, kid."

"As my senior sister, I will avenge my junior brother one day."

As soon as Wang Mei said this...

Su Chen looked at her as if she were an idiot.

This woman, is she really suffering from a serious illness?

Got it!

I'm too lazy to explain; this woman doesn't understand, and she's not smart enough.

"Alright!"

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you!"

"Don't forget our promise."

"Now that the matter is settled, I'm leaving!"

Su Chen turned around and waved to Wang Mei.

Wang Mei didn't linger at that moment, and didn't even say a word.

He rode the shield of light and sped away into the distance...

Time flies.

Speaking of which...

The city gate of Luoyan City was the most magnificent city gate Su Chen had ever seen in his life.

It's not for any other reason than that the city wall is ridiculously high.

Standing on the ground in front of the city gate.

Just looking up at this city wall for a long time will make your neck ache.

I don't know what kind of special stones were used to build that wall.

Surprisingly, it has not suffered any damage despite thousands of years of wind and sand.

But that's what makes it interesting.

Upon entering the city, the contrast between the city and the outside world was striking.

The city was already in ruins.

They were all dilapidated wooden houses and buildings, worn out over the years.

The wood was all corroded and turned black.

It was a dark, oppressive mass, like a dead city.

There are many cultivators in the city.

Although most of them were Golden Core cultivators.

However, such a large number of cultivators were like refugees in a mortal city.

They were everywhere, the whole city was teeming with them.

"Here you go!"

"arrive!"

At this moment, Li Tianqi moved closer to Su Chen and pointed towards the city.

I haven't seen her for ten days, and she's still dressed so simply.

Su Chen now understood why the girl was dressed so shabbily.

Despite being incredibly wealthy, they dressed so simply.

There's only one explanation: they've lived in Luoyan City for many years and gotten used to it...

From the very first moment they met, this girl seemed unusually familiar with me.

It's as if we've known each other for a thousand years.

Without any hesitation, she held onto his arm the entire time.

Now, walking through the city, Li Tianqi has finally opened up and started talking.

She's probably just as good as her own talkative saintess!

"Hello!"

"I'm telling you!"

"This Luoyan City is unlike any other sect or city!"

"It is neither under the jurisdiction of any sect nor affiliated with any major cultivation city."

"Moreover, the cultivator who is stationed here is a great cultivator at the Refinement of Void Realm."

"Even in the Xuanhuang Continent, there are only three to five cultivators at the Refinement stage."

At this moment, Li Tianqi became more and more excited as he spoke.

Su Chen's expression turned cold.

Master Hongfu once said that.

Behind the city of Luoyan lies an ancient monster with a lifespan of ten thousand years.

A lifespan of ten thousand years—that's practically the Refinement of Emptiness realm!

"There are still quite a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the city."

"But you don't need to worry, the cultivators in this city are all independent cultivators."

"Dealing with independent cultivators is the easiest thing to do."

"Rogue cultivators dislike the path of conquest; they are much better at trading."

"Because as long as there is no conflict of interest."

"This city is still absolutely safe."

Li Tianqi kept saying this.

Su Chen then realized that he had chosen the right woman.

Their familiarity with the city is extraordinary.

He must have lived in this city since childhood.

They've probably lived here for a hundred years...

Then, looking at the girl again, she stuck her tongue out at Su Chen.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he strolled leisurely ahead of himself.

It was as casual as introducing his own home to Su Chen.
