Sensing the energy gathering around Wang Lin, Teng Huayuan, Lin Yi, and the others could not help but rise to their feet. After all, baleful energy was extraordinarily powerful; if unleashed, its future potential would be limitless.
Immediately afterward, a streak of inky light carrying Wang Lin's parents' souls shot out, piercing the surrounding curtain of blood and flying into the passage to the Outer Realm Battlefield.
With a wave of Luo Chuan's right hand, Liu Mei and A-Dai were instantly sent to the Outer Realm Battlefield. After all, if they missed this chance, even with their tokens, Liu Mei and the others would have no way of entering.
Seeing this, Lin Yi's hands trembled with excitement as he immediately flew toward the passage to the Outer Realm Battlefield. "It's that bead!"
However, with Lin Yi's strength, he simply could not enter the Outer Realm Battlefield. He was stopped by its barrier, and even his own body was struck by that force, sending him flying backward.
Chi Xiong, an expert of the Giant Devil Race, grabbed Lin Yi and viciously slammed him to the ground. Then he roared, "Lin Yi, this bead is mine! If you dare fight me for it, do you believe I'll kill you?!"
Before Lin Yi could react, Chi Xiong transformed back into his original form and entered the passage to the Outer Realm Battlefield. As he entered, the Outer Realm Battlefield completely closed.
Staring at the now completely sealed passage to the Outer Realm Battlefield, Lin Yi's expression turned exceptionally ugly. That was a Yingbian Realm magical treasure, yet it had escaped right before his eyes.
Lin Yi clenched his fists and subconsciously looked toward Luo Chuan. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo Chuan, did you know that this boy possessed that bead?"
For some reason, Lin Yi always felt that Luo Chuan seemed to know something, though he could not put that feeling into words.
Luo Chuan did not answer Lin Yi. Instead, he gazed at the azure sky, blue as the sea, and said calmly, "This battle in the Outer Realm Battlefield will take several decades. I only hope they return safely."
Seeing Luo Chuan ignore him, Lin Yi's brows furrowed. He could only turn away in displeasure and glare angrily at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within Zhao Kingdom.
"The passage into the Outer Realm Battlefield has closed. Only disciples of my Hengyue Sect entered from Zhao Kingdom. You juniors, leave at once!"
Lin Yi angrily flung his sleeve. With a flash, he returned to the pagoda he had originally occupied and vanished from the area.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Zhao Kingdom looked at one another before turning and leaving. Only Teng Huayuan, who had previously pursued Wang Lin, remained kneeling on the ground, his fists clenched in rage.
"I never expected... this bastard to still be able to exhaust every last trace of energy to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield. Could it be that my Teng Clan truly faces such a calamity?!"
Teng Huayuan gritted his teeth and subconsciously looked toward Luo Chuan. "Senior, may I ask if there is any way for my Teng Clan to break this enemy? So long as you can resolve the Teng Clan's calamity, I, Teng Huayuan, am willing to serve you like an ox or horse."
Luo Chuan turned gracefully, his white robe fluttering in the wind. Nodding, he said, "Teng Huayuan, I already warned you. You simply did not know how to cherish the opportunity."
"Go back and prepare in advance. In several hundred years, the Teng Clan will surely perish."
Before Teng Huayuan could speak, Luo Chuan had already left, leaving only the bewildered Teng Huayuan kneeling on the ground, utterly at a loss.
Was the Teng Clan truly destined to perish?!
Back at the Hengyue Sect, Huang Long and the others revealed excited expressions upon learning that Hengyue Sect disciples had entered the Outer Realm Battlefield.
As long as the sect's disciples could enter, when the passage to the Outer Realm Battlefield reopened a hundred years later, the magical treasures they brought back would greatly benefit the sect.
Back then, the Corpse Yin Sect had used the magical treasures within the Outer Realm Battlefield to become the number one sect in Zhao Kingdom. Even the Corpse Puppets they had contracted would see their cultivation soar after absorbing the spiritual energy of the Outer Realm Battlefield.
True Person Huanglong cupped his hands toward Luo Chuan and said flatteringly, "Ancestor, the Mystic Dao Sect has now been brought under our Hengyue Sect's command. A disciple claiming to be from the Luohe Sect has come, hoping to request some medicinal herbs for refining pills."
"The Luohe Sect... could it be from Huofen Kingdom, a Level 3 Cultivation Country?"
Hearing the name of this familiar cultivation sect, Luo Chuan could not help recalling a woman whose presence was enough to make the entire cultivation world tremble.
The original story had once mentioned that the Hengyue Sect and Mystic Dao Sect had always shared a close relationship. However, after all the Hengyue Sect's Progenitors fell, Pu Nanzi seized the opportunity to completely take over the Hengyue Sect.
A great sect with a thousand-year legacy was destroyed in an instant, demonstrating the cruelty and indifference of the cultivation world.
Now that the Ancestor had suddenly returned, not only had this problem been resolved, but the Mystic Dao Sect had also been brought under his control. Its precious medicinal herbs and magical treasures naturally ended up on Hengyue Peak.
True Person Huanglong turned toward the main hall and said softly, "You two young friends may enter now."
The Luohe Sect had a Nascent Soul Realm Progenitor. Although True Person Huanglong was in the Core Formation Stage, he still had to show these two Foundation Establishment Stage juniors some respect.
After all, Nascent Soul Realm experts were not comparable to Core Formation Stage cultivators. A single misstep could lead to one's soul being scattered and destroyed.
Luo Chuan swirled the teacup in his hand and glanced sideways at the man and woman in different attire some distance away, unconsciously pausing his movements.
The woman had willow-leaf brows like mist and a radiance like spring blossoms. She resembled a lotus fairy, graceful and ethereal, sacred and elegant.
Her curled hair shone as brilliantly as the stars, gleaming with silvery moonlight and sparkling like countless stars in the night.
"The two of them come from the Luohe Sect in the distant Huofen Kingdom. They have come to our Hengyue Sect to seek Daoyuan Fruit for refining pills."
Li Qiqing stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Luo Chuan. "This junior is Li Qiqing, an elite disciple of the Luohe Sect. Greetings, Senior."
"This is my younger sister, Li Muwan, also a disciple of the Luohe Sect."
Upon hearing the name "Li Muwan," Luo Chuan's gaze subconsciously settled on the stunning woman. So it really was her.
As the female lead of Renegade Immortal, Li Muwan's talent might not have been the strongest, but her aptitude for alchemy was extraordinarily exceptional.
Had she not depleted her own lifespan to help Wang Lin refine pills, her future achievements would surely have surpassed everyone on Vermilion Bird Planet.
"How is your Luohe Sect's Progenitor Lan Ruo?"
Li Qiqing stepped forward and cupped his hands as he replied, "In reply to Senior, Progenitor Lan Ruo is well. She also asked me to convey her greetings to you."
Luo Chuan nodded with a faint smile and did not respond further, instead looking at Li Muwan behind Li Qiqing.
Li Muwan pursed her thin lips lightly and cupped her hands toward Luo Chuan in greeting.
Yet when she saw that face, so handsome it could nearly leave all women breathless, Li Muwan's pretty face could not help flushing slightly.
PS: Compared to the esteemed viewers behind the screen, he still fell somewhat short.
