Zi Xin looked at Luo Chuan, her eyes widening in surprise at first, then she recognized him. Her face instantly turned frosty, and her tone became cold and contemptuous.
"I never expected to run into you here, Luo Chuan. So many years have passed, and you've only just broken through to the Spirit Severing Realm despite all your efforts. You're truly trash."
Zi Xin looked at the unremarkable Luo Chuan in front of her, her heart filled with disdain.
Back on Vermilion Bird Planet, Luo Chuan passed the position of Vermilion Bird Child to Li Muwan, which she had always resented. Now, seeing him again and noticing his mediocre cultivation, she made no attempt to hide her contempt.
Luo Chuan raised his eyes, saw the woman before him clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he spoke calmly, " Zi Xin, I didn't expect to run into an old friend. You're quite lucky."
He paid no heed to Zi Xin's mockery and disdain, but calmly looked at this old acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years, his thoughts drifting back to his time on Vermilion Bird Planet.
The grudges of the past on Vermilion Bird Planet have long since faded away, but he still harbors lingering attachments and old hatreds. He finds Zi Xin's petty and calculating attitude utterly boring.
Luo Chuan turned to leave, intending to find Tian Yunzi and Tianmozi to settle the old scores.
But his concession was seen as fear and cowardice by Zi Xin.
Seeing that Luo Chuan ignored her, Zi Xin's anger intensified, and the resentment and humiliation she felt on Vermilion Bird Planet back then surged into her heart.
She believed herself to be exceptionally talented and had the opportunity to inherit the position of the Vermilion Bird Child and wield great power over the Vermilion Bird Planet. However, Luo Chuan casually gave the position to Li Muwan, making her the laughingstock of the entire Vermilion Bird Planet.
Over the years, she has relied on the Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai and painstakingly climbed the ranks. She finally secured her position as the ruler of the Blood Star. Now that she has met Luo Chuan, how could she let him go so easily?
"Stop!"
Zi Xin sharply stopped Luo Chuan, her figure flashing as she blocked his path. Her face was sinister as she said, " Luo Chuan, you humiliated me on Vermilion Bird Planet back then, causing me to lose face. Now that we've met again, it's time to settle this score!"
"If it weren't for you, I, Zi Xin, would have already become the Vermilion Bird Child of Vermilion Bird Planet!"
Luo Chuan paused, his brows furrowing slightly, but his tone remained calm. "Why bring up the past? I don't want to make things difficult for you."
"Don't want to make things difficult? Too late!"
Zi Xin sneered, raised her hand and cast a spell, her clear voice echoing throughout the street. " Blood Star warriors, heed my command! Capture this man and kill him on the spot!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a large number of Blood Star cultivators surged out from all around the street, each clad in blood-red armor, wielding sharp blades, and exuding a fierce aura.
Among them were elders at the early stage of Spirit Severing, as well as many experts at the Sunie Realm. Dozens of people surrounded Luo Chuan, their spiritual energy surging and their killing intent fully revealed.
Upon seeing this, the passersby and cultivators around quickly moved aside and watched from a distance, all believing that Luo Chuan was doomed to die today.
After all, Zi Xin is now the ruler of Blood Star, with many powerful subordinates. Dealing with a cultivator who only seems to Spirit Severing is a piece of cake for her.
Zi Xin stood at the back of the crowd, arms crossed, her face full of smugness and ruthlessness, coldly staring at Luo Chuan: " Luo Chuan, today I'll show you the consequences of offending me. Kill him!"
With a command, numerous Blood Star experts attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of sword flashes, magical energy, and other powerful attacks towards Luo Chuan.
A violent surge of spiritual energy swept through the street, instantly shattering the ground with terrifying force.
Luo Chuan looked at the swarming cultivators before him, shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with indifference.
In his eyes, these people's cultivation levels were like ants, utterly insignificant.
He didn't even summon the Luo God Sword, nor did he circulate any excess Immortal Essence; he simply raised a finger slowly.
A faint light flashed at his fingertips, and an invisible yet extremely powerful force instantly spread out.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
A series of muffled thuds rang out, and those Blood Star experts who charged at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before their bodies instantly shattered and their souls were annihilated.
The subsequent cultivators were also affected by this force, falling to the ground like grass being cut down. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of powerful figures who had been so aggressive just moments before were all lying in pools of blood, none of them surviving.
The entire street fell into a deathly silence instantly, the wind whipping up debris from the ground, creating a chilling atmosphere.
Zi Xin's smug smile froze instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, and she stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her face filled with disbelief.
She trembled all over, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, her face ashen, her lips quivering, her voice filled with utter terror. "You... you actually..."
Zi Xin could clearly sense that Luo Chuan's attack just now contained power far beyond her comprehension; it was a pressure that only those at the Heavenly Human Realm could possess.
Recalling Luo Chuan's previous calm and composed demeanor, she finally realized that Luo Chuan was not at the Spirit Severing at all, but had been hiding his true strength all along!
" The First Decay of Heaven and Man... You are actually a powerhouse at the First Decay of Heaven and Man!"
A storm raged through Zi Xin's heart; fear instantly overwhelmed her.
I never imagined that Luo Chuan, who was just an ordinary person on Vermilion Bird Planet back then, would grow to such an extent.
He had just spouted nonsense and wanted to kill him; he was simply courting death.
Luo Chuan withdrew his finger, his gaze calmly fixed on Zi Xin, who was slumped on the ground. His tone was indifferent, devoid of any killing intent.
"Considering that you were once a cultivator from Vermilion Bird Planet, and that you were once the concubine of Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai, I will spare your life today."
Luo Chuan paused, gazing into the distance, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes. "The old friends are long gone, past grievances need not be clung to. Take care of yourself, protect the last peace of this Blood Star, and do not cause any more trouble."
After saying that, Luo Chuan didn't look at Zi Xin again, turned around and walked away, disappearing at the end of the street.
Zi Xin sat there, drenched in cold sweat, unable to recover for a long time, her heart filled with endless fear and shock.
She looked in the direction Luo Chuan had left, her heart filled with complex emotions. There was no longer any hatred in her heart, only deep awe.
After leaving Blood God City, Luo Chuan planned to follow the aura to find Tian Yunzi and Tianmozi and settle their grudges.
But at that moment, a sudden thought struck him: an incredibly familiar aura, etched into his very soul, emanated from a village on the edge of Blood Star.
The scent was soft and pure, carrying a warmth that made his heart flutter, instantly striking the softest spot in his heart.
Luo Chuan trembled, no longer caring about Tian Yunzi and the others, and followed the aura, quickly heading towards the village.
In less than half an incense stick's time, a tranquil little village appeared before our eyes.
The village is situated in a rare patch of green on Blood Star, a stark contrast to the crimson desolation elsewhere. Here, the vegetation is lush, smoke curls from chimneys, and the village is filled with the warmth of human life.
As Luo Chuan reached the village entrance, he heard a burst of clear, cheerful laughter from children.
