Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Killing the Qingyun Sword Cultivator, Discovered by the Spirit Sound Female Cultivator!

"Trouble? What trouble could there be?"

Lu Chen was puzzled and looked around. There were quite some cultivators flying overhead, but he didn’t pay much attention to the fluctuations of spiritual power raised by their full-speed flight.

"Brother Lu Dao is unaware," Mo Buwen stopped in his tracks, his eyes turning grave, "Brother He... the very brother you killed, told us on the giant sword that he was going to seek out someone from the Qingyun Sect!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chen also knew from their previous conversation that the Qingyun Sect had a portrait of him.

Although he didn’t know where the portrait came from, it had made Lu Chen cautious. One of the reasons he was in disguise was to avoid the danger from the Qingyun Sect.

"Brother He knew some disciples from the Qingyun Sect. So as soon as he descended from the flying sword, he disappeared. He must have gone to find someone from the Qingyun Sect! At that time, we waited in the valley for many hours, enough time for him to find the Qingyun Sect’s people!"

Lu Chen said, "But the people of the Qingyun Sect don’t know that I killed him. This isn’t trouble."

Mo Buwen gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Lu Dao, Brother He was cunning and had many tricks up his sleeve. This Pill Furnace in your hand is much stronger than those of your peers. Do you know why? It is because he forcefully cut open a wound in his lower abdomen, and then stuffed the Pill Furnace inside, as close to the Dantian as possible, in order to nourish it!"

"He was indeed a ruthless man!"

Lu Chen’s face also went through several changes, feeling fortunate that he had killed this person.

He nodded and then asked, "You mean, he most likely did find someone from the Qingyun Sect, and therefore, the Qingyun Sect’s people recognize this robe I’m wearing?"

"No," said Mo Buwen in a stern voice, "they may recognize this Pill Furnace, and even track down this Pill Furnace!"

The Pill Furnace was an important magic artifact prop for Lu Chen’s disguise as a disciple of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. If he hid the Pill Furnace, his fake identity would be full of holes.

The most important point was, as Mo Buwen mentioned, the possibility that the Qingyun Sect’s people might find him!

He touched his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

First, it was the Spirit Sound Sect who came looking through the small bell.

Then it was the Qingyun Sect!

"Given that, I should change my clothes..."

With a bitter smile, Lu Chen stuffed the Pill Furnace into his storage bag.

Just when he was about to find a place to change, a blue Sword Qi descended from the sky and pierced straight into the ground!

The sword hilt vibrated, with a person standing on it!

"The Qingyun Sect’s!"

The Sword Qi was blue, the robe was blue, and on the person’s left chest, there was an embroidered green character!

"He... Eh? You’re not!"

The newcomer thought he had found Brother He that Mo Buwen spoke of, but upon seeing Lu Chen, his expression changed, and he instantly knew something had gone wrong.

"To dare kill someone under the Qingyun Sect’s protection, you’re quite bold!"

He caught a glimpse of Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing from the corner of his eye, recognized them as menial workers of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, the burden Brother He had mentioned, and instinctively thought that these two had colluded with Lu Chen to commit murder and rob!

"Die!"

With the intent to kill rising, the figure leapt three meters high, while the sword flew out of the ground, spinning half a turn with the tip striking towards Lu Chen!

"Scram!"

Lu Chen was surprised by how quickly the opponent attacked.

But against only one person of the same realm, he was not afraid at all!

With one command, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear startlingly appeared in his hand!

"Just a mere Sword Cultivator!"

As his words fell, Lu Chen thrusted forward with vigor!

Immortal Guides the Way!

The spearhead was directly aimed at the tip of the sword, needle against wheat stalk!

Atop the spear, the Five Elements Spiritual Power burst out, and the immense force of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear surged through!

Crack!

This was a spear that had been tempered by the earth’s core flames, personally forged by the Core Formation Elder Zhu Chongjiu!

The Qingyun Sect was but a second-rate sect, not primarily focused on the sword dao, how could it withstand Lu Chen’s spear!

At the collision of the two tips, the flying sword snapped into several segments!

The Qingyun cultivator in the air spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground!

Lu Chen’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, striding forward, the spear slanted upward!

Thrust!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear pierced straight through the chest, and the Qingyun cultivator didn’t last even one round!

But Lu Chen overlooked one crucial matter!

He had used the Five Elements Spiritual Power!

The unique grey and white color, in that move, spread faintly towards the sky, just in time to be spotted by a female cultivator from the Spirit Sound Sect!

"Could it be... over there? It looks like he’s fighting with someone!"

Watching from a distance, the female cultivator saw only a few figures. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to quietly approach and see for herself!
