Chapter 665: Chapter 665: An Elder of the Spirit Sound Sect, Junior Yu Zhibai!

Within the Haotian Secret Realm, the situation was unclear, so Lu Chen dared not be careless; he strove to handle the matter at hand in a single journey.

Aside from seeking Chu Zhongtian in the icy lands and finding a suitable breakthrough location for Yu Qingqing and Qing Qing, Lu Chen had one more critical task.

That was the Ice Spirit Pearl!

Li Yanran had said the Ice Spirit Pearl needed to be nurtured.

It required blood essence, as well as Ice Spiritual Power!

Lu Chen was in no short supply of either.

But the catch was, if he were to nurture it with Ice Spiritual Power, using the ice fan as his magic artifact would be too conspicuous.

In dangerous times, it could make others wary.

The key issue was, once he nurtured the pearl with Ice Spiritual Power, it would become inconvenient for Lu Chen to transform it into other types of spiritual power.

Therefore, he chose to fly with his Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

At this moment, he transformed all the spiritual power in his Dantian into Ice Spiritual Power, then swallowed the Ice Spirit Pearl and transferred the Ice Spiritual Power to it through the Nine Meridians.

Just moments later, the Ice Spirit Pearl responded; the cracks began to slowly close, followed by a gentle glow emanating from the bead.

This indicated the Spiritual Pearl was good at retaining its spirit nature.

Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief, allowing his body to naturally circulate spiritual power, while he focused intently on his surroundings.

Using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique as he flew, Lu Chen passed many places with traces of battle.

The more he saw, the more alarmed he became.

"It looks like many sects have Nascent Soul cultivators who’ve entered this time,"

The extent of the destruction was too great for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to have caused.

There was only one possibility, the Nascent Soul Stage!

After flying for a while, Lu Chen noticed two cultivators entangled in a fight ahead in the sky, an intense back and forth engagement.

Spells shone brightly, magic artifacts flew rapidly; the surge of spiritual power was felt even five miles away.

Lu Chen quickly descended, and upon closer inspection, his face suddenly changed.

The combatants were a man and a woman.

The woman was playing a jade flute, clearly a member of the Spirit Sound Sect.

As for the other person, Lu Chen saw that his body was enveloped in a fiery light, but he could not identify him immediately.

"I’m not sure if it’s from Li Fire Sect or some other fire-controlling sect!" Lu Chen murmured to himself, but then the voice of Spiritual Fire suddenly rang out in his mind!

"Master, that is another Earth Fire!"

"Earth Fire?"

Lu Chen was stunned; this was his second encounter with Earth Fire!

Could it be that Earth Fire was so worthless?

While he was puzzled, Spiritual Fire added, "It seems to originate from the same source as the Ice-Strange Fire. Master, if you can snatch this Earth Fire, perhaps it will awaken the Ice-Strange Fire!"

Lu Chen’s heart tightened!

The power of the Ice-Strange Fire was undeniable, and when attached to the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, it could unleash extremely formidable strength.

He could even slay Li Yan from the Nascent Soul Stage; how could he not be tempted?

But...

On one side was a female cultivator from the Spirit Sound Sect of the Eastern Domain.

Clearly, she was colluding with Haotian Sect and thus an enemy of his.

He should be helping the other person!

Wait a minute!

Lu Chen’s heart suddenly jolted!

The Earth Fire of the Ice-Strange Fire had come from Ji Mingze of the Western Region Extreme Pill Sect.

Could this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator also be from the Extreme Dan Sect?

He had slain disciples from both sects.

Lu Chen weighed the pros and cons, inclined to leave but slightly tempted.

There was risk, indeed, but capturing the Earth Fire would not only potentially strengthen the Ice-Strange Fire but would also ensure, once recovered, he would again possess the power to easily slay Nascent Soul cultivators!

No matter how it was calculated, he was assured a win!

Moreover, compared to the two major sects, it was uncertain whether the Spirit Sound Sect would have left any trace on those few female disciples to find out it was he who had killed them!

The most important point.

Lu Chen took out the ice fan, a smile curling on his lips.

The Spirit Sound Sect was colluding with Ning Changzhong from the Casting Gear Pavilion, and he was not obliged to show his true identity to others!

With this thought, Lu Chen had made his plan.

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would be aware of the situation within five miles.

Lu Chen had personally experienced this when he had encountered Li Yan.

"If I wait too long, he might become suspicious, better to approach directly!"

Lu Chen’s gaze sharpened, he recalled the Heavenly Inquiry Spear into his palm, reserving it as his final trump card, not to be revealed until he was about to defeat the Fire Pill child.

He was saving it for the Nascent Soul of the Spirit Sound Sect!

Lu Chen did not conceal his stage of cultivation, brandished the ice fan, and rose into the sky, speeding through the air!

"Senior from the Spirit Sound Sect, junior Yu Zhibai from Ji Pavilion has come to assist you!"

Yu Zhibai would probably never understand.

He was to take the fall for Lu Chen until his dying breath!

Lu Chen’s guess was correct; both Fire Pill child and Lin Miaoyin noticed his arrival!

Although the two were evenly matched and cautious of the restrictions within the secret realm, hence they both had reservations.

But Lu Chen, unscrupulously releasing his Core Formation Stage presence, tipped the balance between the two in an instant!
