Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Lu Chen Pays Attention to Wen Tian’s Spear!

"Wen Tian, what just happened to you?"

Lu Chen cautiously asked.

"Nothing happened, why?"

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear’s spirit was very puzzled.

Lu Chen immediately fell silent; since the spear’s spirit itself was unaware of what had occurred, it seemed the issue was indeed serious.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen then asked, "Does the spear still contain the long spear Dao platform from before?"

The spear’s spirit answered strangely, "The long spear Dao platform from before has been merged by me, Master, you are now at the Nascent Soul Stage, why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing much, just suddenly remembered and asked."

Seeing that the spear’s spirit was unaware, Lu Chen decided to keep the matter to himself for the time being, thinking internally, "It seems that I must be more cautious when using the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to kill ancient monsters in the future. I’m afraid if the demonic power within them becomes too strong, I won’t be able to control it!"

There was still one doubt; whether it had anything to do with the spear techniques, he had rarely used the Triple Spear Summit, and such an effect had appeared.

Of course, it might also be related to the Demon Pupil.

In any case, everything was confusing, and there were no more beast trials available.

Lu Chen kept a careful watch in his mind, casting aside all other stray thoughts, and then walked toward Qing Nan’s direction.

Qing Nan had been burned to ashes, but the storage ring and life-bound magic sword were left behind.

"Good and evil lie in a thought, life and death also hang by a thought! I could have saved you, but you have..."

Lu Chen’s face was expressionless as he put the ring into his pocket, while leaving the sword by his side, hanging it behind his waist.

He didn’t know if the Heavenly Inquiry Spear would have any issues, so he needed to be prepared just in case.

The lifebound magic artifact of someone at the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn’t be too bad even if it wasn’t right for him; it was better than nothing, to be used in case of emergency.

He didn’t check what was inside the ring, instead following the original path back, quickly returning to the location of Qingyun Sect.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that there were still several surviving cultivators within Qingyun Sect, mostly those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Presumably, when the formation broke, those at the Core Formation Stage who could escape had escaped.

And these Foundation Establishment cultivators, who could only flee by artifact control, probably lacked the confidence to escape the chase of the beasts, so they hid instead.

"You all, come out!"

Lu Chen imbued his voice with spiritual power; it was not loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone.

Inside the Qingyun Sect, slowly, people started to show themselves; no longer hearing the beast roars and not feeling the pressure of the demon Qi, they spotted Lu Chen floating midair.

"Senior, those demonic beasts..."

A Foundation Establishment sword cultivator mustered his courage to shout.

"Dead."

Lu Chen said indifferently, with no emotion in his voice, "However, your three ancestors are also dead."

"The ancestors are dead!"

At this revelation, all of the Foundation Establishment cultivators peeked out from their hiding places, faces showing disbelief as they exclaimed in shock.

Those were Nascent Soul beings; How could they be dead?

"Yes, they’re all dead," Lu Chen did not explain, to avoid unnecessary trouble, and simply stated, "However, there are no longer ancient demonic beasts in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, you may do as you wish."

"You may stay here, leave Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, or cross it to go to other domains."

Ten Thousand Demon Mountain bordered the Northern Domain; crossing it would lead to that domain.

After saying this, Lu Chen turned and left without another word.

Not annihilating Qingyun Sect was already the greatest mercy he could afford.

...

"Chu Immortal Master, Lu... Lu Immortal Master wouldn’t be in danger, would he?"

In the Lu Family, some elders cautiously inquired of Chu Zhongtian, seeing that in just over three years, Lu Chen had undergone earth-changing transformations.

They sought information from Chu Zhongtian’s lips, eager to learn Lu Chen’s attitude toward the Lu Family.

But Chu Zhongtian was not from the Eastern Domain, and he was even less aware of the gratitude and grudges between Lu Chen and the Lu Family in Yuzhou City back in the day.

He did not reveal any useful information, merely stating indifferently, "Brother Lu Dao has unparalleled talent and extraordinary intelligence, he will be fine."

"Chu Immortal Master," the currently most senior person in the Lu Family, Lu Tianyi, Lu Tianren’s cousin, was also a martial artist in the Marrow Refinement Realm. However, compared to others, his talent was not high and being from a non-principal lineage, he naturally had no power within the Lu Family.

Now that the principal lineage of the Lu Family had died, he had no choice but to step forward reluctantly.

Whether for the sake of the Lu Family or his own life, it had to be so.

With utmost respect, Lu Tianyi said, "We just want to know... whether our next step is toward death or life!"

A hint of a peculiar expression flitted across Chu Zhongtian’s eyes. Lu Chen was resolute in his killing but followed principles strictly; it was unlikely that he would do such a thing.

And if he had wanted to kill, he would have done so already; why wait until now?

At the Nascent Soul Stage, dealing with mortals was simply a matter of moving a finger.

Seeing how the Lu Family members were as quiet as cicadas in winter, and the atmosphere was very tense, Chu Zhongtian’s heart softened, and he said, "If you haven’t done anything to betray Brother Lu Dao, you have nothing to worry about."

No sooner had his words fallen than a shuddering tremor rippled through Yuzhou City!

Then, a thunderous roar resounded from outside the city, high-pitched and piercing, shocking everyone’s soul!

"A demonic beast!"

Chu Zhongtian’s face changed, and he flew out into the sky!
