For Luo Chuan, keeping his promise and sparing the entire Daluo Sword Sect was the greatest favor he could receive.
After performing the ceremony, Marquis Lingtian slowly straightened up, his face no longer showing any concern or regret.
He calmly looked at Luo Chuan, nodded slightly as a final farewell, then said nothing more, slowly closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged in the center of the hall.
The Immortal Essence around him gradually calmed down and subsided, and his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Jingnie Realm slowly dissipated without any struggle or resentment.
This Sword Venerable of the Daluo Sword Sect, who had wielded the sword his entire life and dominated the world, sat upright on the ground, his breath gradually weakening until it finally dissipated completely, passing away peacefully and completing his life's journey.
The candlelight inside the hall still flickered, and the aroma of tea gradually faded. Luo Chuan looked at the deceased Marquis Lingtian with a calm and undisturbed expression.
He rose and stood in the hall, without lingering any longer. With a flash, he disappeared from the palace of the Daluo Sword Sect like a gentle breeze, keeping his promise and not harming the sect in the slightest.
The Tianyun Star, within the palace.
As Tian Yunzi at the Four Decays of the Heavenly Human Realm and Man realm, Tian Yunzi sat upright in his chair, looking at the broken jade slip in his hand, and knew that Sword Venerable Marquis Lingtian had already died and disappeared.
Tianmozi's face was also ashen. He was the culprit who had hunted down Luo Chuan back then. Now that Sword Venerable Marquis Lingtian had been killed, it meant that Luo Chuan's next targets were him and Tian Yunzi.
Tian Yunzi gripped the shattered jade slip tightly in his fingers, his knuckles turning white from the force. The powerful aura of the Four Decays of the Heavenly Human Realm surged slightly within the hall, and his face was as dark as a night sky covered with dark clouds.
Now that Luo Chuan has made a powerful return, even Ling Marquis Lingtian, who is in the mid-stage of the Jingnie Realm, is powerless to resist. His heart is already filled with fear, and his voice is filled with undisguised panic as he keeps asking questions.
" Tian Yunzi, now that Marquis Lingtian is dead, Luo Chuan's next target will definitely be the two of us. We are no match for him at all. What should we do next?"
Tian Yunzi slowly closed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness and determination flashing in them. After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his eyes, his voice icy and chilling, carrying a desperate, resolute tone:
"What's the panic! No matter how strong Luo Chuan is, he's not invincible. I've already prepared a Heavenly Fate Absolute Killing Array. This formation borrows the fortune of heaven and earth and draws on the power of the stars. Its power is boundless and enough to completely kill him and eliminate any future troubles."
Tianmozi's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, " The Heavenly Fate Absolute Killing Array? Can this formation really kill Luo Chuan? But how can we lure him into the formation?"
"This formation requires an extremely yin location to activate, and a massive number of living beings must be sacrificed to unleash its full power."
Tian Yunzi's lips curled into a cruel smile as he said, word by word, "I've chosen Blood Star. It's filled with resentment and dense Yin energy, making it the perfect place to set up an array."
"Simply set a trap to lure Luo Chuan to Blood Star, then sacrifice all the living beings on Blood Star, activate the ultimate killing formation, and he will have no chance of escape."
Upon hearing this, Tianmozi frowned instantly, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face, and he couldn't help but retort.
"Sacrifice all the living beings of the Blood Star?"
"Wouldn't that be too cruel? Besides, Blood Star was once the dojo of Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai. Yao Xinghai was a powerful figure in his time, and even though he has fallen, his remaining influence and the foundation of the star domain still exist. Taking action rashly might cause trouble."
Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai was a veteran powerhouse in the star field with unfathomable cultivation. Even though he had fallen many years ago, Blood Star still benefited from his legacy. Most of the cultivators living there had connections with him. To rashly slaughter the entire star was truly heinous.
Upon hearing this, Tian Yunzi's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with impatience and ruthlessness. He sternly rebuked, "What time is it? Why are you still worrying about these things!"
"Now that Yao Xinghai is long dead and gone, the Blood Star is nothing but a group of leaderless juniors who are not worth fearing at all."
"What does it matter if we sacrifice a Blood Star to get rid of Luo Chuan? Do as I say, prepare immediately, or things will change!"
Tian Yunzi's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. In order to protect himself, he had long since disregarded the suffering of countless lives.
Seeing Tian Yunzi's resolute expression, Tianmozi felt a pang of pity, but having no other choice, he could only grit his teeth and nod, agreeing to this cruel plan.
Without further delay, the two set off immediately, leaving Tianyun Star silently and heading straight for the distant Blood Star. Upon arrival, they hid in the shadows of Blood Star, quietly setting up the Heavenly Fate Absolute Killing Array, and waiting for Luo Chuan to walk right into their trap.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Daluo Sword Sect, Luo Chuan spread his divine sense across the entire Cultivation Alliance Star Domain and quickly detected the auras of Tian Yunzi and Tianmozi.
Following that faint aura, they searched all the way and finally arrived at a star field shrouded in blood-red clouds.
The stars before me were a dark, blood-red color, appearing as if they were soaked in blood from afar. A faint smell of blood and a strong sense of resentment lingered in the air.
This is Blood Star, the former training ground of Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai, and also the former hometown of Luo Chuan's lover Yao Xixue.
Luo Chuan stood in the void, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar Blood Star before him. His eyes flickered slightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and his thoughts drifted back to the distant past.
He murmured softly, a hint of melancholy in his voice. " Xue'er, if you were still alive, would you also miss your hometown?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Chuan composed himself, moved swiftly, and stepped directly into the crimson clouds, landing on the Blood Star.
Upon entering Blood Star, a heavy stench of blood and decay assaults the senses. The earth takes on a dark red hue, and even the vegetation is stained with a faint crimson hue.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth also carried a chilling aura. The distant mountains stretched out in a continuous line, all in a crimson hue, while the sky remained perpetually gray, exuding a sense of oppression.
The once-prosperous Blood Star has long lost its former glory after the fall of the Blood Ancestor, and is now filled with desolation and sorrow.
Luo Chuan did not immediately search for the hidden Tian Yunzi and Tianmozi, but instead followed a hunch in his heart and slowly walked towards the interior of the Blood Star.
After passing through several crimson mountain ranges, a magnificent city came into view, with the three blood-red characters "Blood God City" engraved above the city gate.
This is the core city of Blood Star, and now the gathering place for Blood Star cultivators.
The city's streets crisscrossed, and the cultivators who came and went were mostly dressed in blood-red robes, exuding a soft and yin aura, and walked in an orderly manner. Although it was not as prosperous as the top star fields, it was still peaceful and tranquil.
Luo Chuan strolled along the street, deliberately concealing his aura and hiding his cultivation level at the early stage of Spirit Severing, appearing no different from an ordinary cultivator.
Just as Luo Chuan was walking, a cold gaze suddenly fell upon him.
Not far away, beneath a pavilion, stood a woman in a long purple dress. She had a beautiful face and a cold, elegant demeanor. She exuded a profound cultivation level of the mid-stage of Spirit Severing Realm, and her eyes held a hint of haughty arrogance.
