Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Lu Chen Guesses the Nascent Soul, Li Yan Abandons the Demon to Chase the Human!

A crisis had emerged in the secret realm.

Originally, as per the plans of the leading sects in the Eastern Domain, the Haotian Sect would use a unique secret technique to immediately trap those who entered the secret realm in a specific location.

Then, the remnants of the unique aura left by Ancestor Hao Ri would attract all the disciples from the various sects!

However, due to Lu Chen’s interference, their secret technique had lost some of its effectiveness.

A group of Nascent Soul cultivators had indeed been trapped there.

And their power had been suppressed to that of the Core Formation Stage.

They also awaited the Core Formation disciples from the Haotian Sect who arrived later.

But the problem was that the secret technique of Ancestor Hao Ri had been disrupted by the secret realm, allowing these Nascent Soul elders to employ various methods to flee far away!

In the end, Ancestor Hao Ri’s plan not only failed with his plot exposed, but he also didn’t manage to eliminate any of them!

In a state of helplessness, he then ordered the Core Formation disciples to search for Nascent Soul cultivators from the other major domains within the secret realm, while they themselves exited the realm and stood guard at the entrance!

As long as any Nascent Soul cultivators emerged, the more than ten of them at the Nascent Soul Stage would be able to kill the escapees on the spot, ensuring that no news would spread beyond the Eastern Domain!

Unless, that is, these Nascent Soul cultivators could regroup within the secret realm and find an exit to break out of it together!

...

Li Yan was one of those who had escaped, originally having said he would travel together with another Nascent Soul from the Southern Li State.

But at that moment of life-and-death, being even a step slower could have resulted in being slain on the spot by a group of Core Formation cultivators.

Thus, he made a decisive move, using the Li Fire Sect’s secret technique to escape to this place, only to encounter this beast right after his arrival!

His Spiritual Power had been damaged, and having just materialized, he naturally needed time to adapt slowly.

Lu Chen initially hadn’t noticed anything amiss, but after seeing the Li Fire Curse being used by the other party, he sharply realized that someone from the Li Fire Sect might have come searching!

"The Li Fire Sect surely must have some secret technique that can detect Li Mo’s death. Luckily I didn’t directly kill Li Mo, and now I can possibly get some information from him,"

A bold thought sprang up in Lu Chen’s mind. If a person from the Li Fire Sect had come to this place, what about the Xuanyun Sect?

Would they come looking for Chu Zhongtian?

He had talked with Chu Zhongtian before. Regardless of the relationships among the major domains, they usually wouldn’t openly confront one another.

The Nascent Soul was already the highest realm they could cultivate to in the Mortal Realm.

Unless it was a major event, they generally wouldn’t get involved in the turmoil and instead would focus on finding news about entrances to the Spirit World.

As it stood now, the widely accepted belief was that only by finding an entrance to the Spirit World and going to a place with even more abundant Spiritual Energy was there a chance for breakthrough.

Although the hope was exceedingly slim, it was still significantly better compared to introspectively meditating on the elusive Great Dao.

After all, compared to them, Lu Chen knew much more and since his parents’ safety was at stake, he would naturally be even more cautious.

Seeing that the beast was already at its last gasp, Lu Chen began to pay more attention to Li Yan.

Upon closer observation, he made an unexpected discovery.

"He’s actually keeping an eye on my direction. Could it be... he has detected my presence?"

Lu Chen squinted, suddenly feeling alarmed.

He himself had already reached Core Formation, not only had he concealed his aura, but even from several miles away, he had only been able to see the other party by using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

However, the other’s actions clearly indicated that he had been discovered!

Could it be...

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Lu Chen’s forehead, the other party might be at the Nascent Soul Stage!

He wasn’t certain whether the Nascent Soul Stage would be suppressed.

But evidently, dealing with the other was akin to negotiating with a tiger for its skin, dancing on the edge of a knife, where any slight misstep could lead to his demise!

Lu Chen made a swift decision, not wishing to linger any further, and turned to leave.

Moreover, he opted to take a detour as much as possible, so that if the person were to chase after him, he wouldn’t bring danger toward Qin Yaotiao!

And while leaving, Lu Chen also keenly observed the expression on the other’s face once more.

"He wants to chase after me!"

Noticing the intent within the other’s look, Lu Chen dared not delay any longer. He focused his Spiritual Power throughout his body and dashed away at the fastest speed!

"You want to leave? It seems you’re a Core Formation disciple of the Haotian Sect, probably unaware that I have already memorized your aura,"

Li Yan hurled the beast in front of him away with a palm strike, paying no heed to whether it lived or died, and then hurriedly pursued in Lu Chen’s direction!

Even though the realm was suppressed,

Whether in the understanding of the Great Dao, the use of Spiritual Power, or the speed of flight,

He was still at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Lu Chen had no chance of escape!
