Luo Mingchuan's eyes almost popped out because Lu Chen was not seriously injured as expected, but looked calm and calm.
With his full sword strike and self-destruction of the magic weapon, Lu Chen actually didn't do anything. Not only was he not injured, it was as if he had never participated in the battle, as if the explosion that shook the whole place just now was just a fart.
In fact, the power of the explosion just now was definitely powerful enough. If Lu Chen took it hard, he would definitely be injured. However, when he took action, he had already felt the surging power in the sword. When the magic weapon exploded, he converted all the power of the previous attack.
To resist, retreat at the same time.
This is when Zhou Tian Shen Jue takes advantage of it. Zhou Tian Shen Jue can directly perform any move in an instant according to his thoughts. With just one thought, the surrounding wind will suddenly rise, and the next thought will cause thunder.
Of course, this requires the caster to have strong enough mental power, as well as the ability to unite heaven and man and communicate with heaven and earth, otherwise it would be impossible to do it so casually.
Since Lu Chen practiced in the valley for a month a month ago, his mental power has been greatly improved, and Zhoutian Divine Technique has also made great progress. It is not difficult to use such a trick.
Between advance and retreat, it is just a thought.
Lu Chen was enveloped by a cloud of Xun wind, and flew fifty or sixty meters away in almost the blink of an eye, and then suddenly approached in the blink of an eye.
Going back and forth does not require any physical skills or footwork at all. You can easily do it by using the wind power of the Zhoutian Divine Technique.
Seeing Lu Chen's weird ability, Luo Mingchuan turned pale, lowered his head and said, "We lost."
Although Luo Yuhan was unwilling to do so, she had to admit defeat.
This battle ends here.
Lu Chen's strength has shocked the entire audience.
Even many senior elders could not see through the strength shown in this battle. Sun Pinghua was no match for Lu Chen. Even the three of them fought together and were beaten by Lu Chen without the ability to fight back. If there was anything else to say,
To be able to fight Lu Chen, it would require at least a person of the sixth level of Dongxuan or above to take action personally.
Even the inner sect elders of the sixth level of Dongxuan were not sure of defeating Lu Chen after they saw Lu Chen's strength. In their opinion, only masters of the seventh level of Dongxuan could possibly defeat Lu Chen.
The seventh level of Dongxuan is already the strength of the late Dongxuan realm.
Although there are many experts in the field, there are actually not many above the seventh level of Dongxuan. Apart from Huang Zhengqi, there is an elder of the eighth level of Dongxuan from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect, and there is also an inner sect elder of the seventh level of Dongxuan from Xuanji Sect.
None of the others have this kind of strength.
Huang Zhengqi was surprised by Lu Chen's strength.
But he is naturally very happy. The stronger Lu Chen is, the more advantageous he will be in the next situation.
Not many of the inner sect elders present could defeat Lu Chen, let alone the ordinary core disciples. After Lu Chen's battle, almost all sects chose to admit defeat. Although the Xuanji Sect had a core disciple of the fourth level of Dongxuan.
, but even he didn’t have the confidence to fight against Lu Chen.
Lu Chen naturally won all the games today.
There is no doubt that Nebula Sect successfully won first place in the competition.
Everyone cheered and cheered. The Nebula Sect was able to win the first place. This was something that inspired the entire sect. It meant more than just winning a black iron mine.
Now the major sects have to re-estimate the strength and potential of the Nebula Sect.
"Lu Chen, now the seventh mining area belongs to us. According to my estimation, one or two thousand kilograms of dark iron essence can be mined from the seventh mining area alone."
Huang Zhengqi smiled and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.
"One or two thousand kilograms of black iron essence?
Calculating this, it’s at least four to five billion crystal stones.”
Lu Chen was also surprised. This number was extremely astonishing.
You must know that the Nebula Sect's income in a year is generally only more than a billion crystal stones.
Huang Zhengqi smiled and said: "Exactly, you have done a great job this time. I plan to go back to the sect immediately to ask for credit for you. Now the Council of Elders should have nothing to say. You can definitely pass the qualifications for cultivating star energy. Nangong Lingxiao
It can’t be stopped.”
"But I have something to do soon. Isn't Elder Huang stationed here?"
Lu Chen asked.
"What's the matter with you?
I'm temporarily guarding the mining area. I heard that the arrangements here are pretty good. Others can't control that kid Liu Qi. Liu Qi is from the Nangong family, as you know."
Huang Zhengqi said.
"Elder Liu Huang, do you know that that boy Liu Qi is greedy for the essence of black black iron?"
Lu Chen asked.
"Is there such a thing?"
Huang Zhengqi's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Do you have any evidence?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Qi who was not far away.
Lu Chen said: "No."
If the Echo Stone is not in hand, there is naturally no evidence. That boy Tian Jian has already disappeared without a trace. How dare he come to see Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen then thought of a way. He said to Huang Zhengqi: "It is not difficult to prove that Liu Qi is greedy for black iron essence. Have you seen the accounting books of the mining area? Not much of the black iron essence is mined at all. In fact, it must be all
Corrupted by Liu Qi."
"Do you have any way to prove that he is corrupt?
That would be easy to handle, and we can take the opportunity to attack the Nangong family."
Huang Zhengqi said,
Lu Chen said: "I'm afraid we can't attack the Nangong family. Liu Qi's greed for black iron essence may be the instruction of Nangong Lingxiao, but it's not difficult to find a reason to suppress Liu Qi."
"What method?
Come and listen?"
Huang Zhengqi asked.
Lu Chen looked around and saw that there were still many people, so he said, "Find a quiet place to talk first."
Huang Zhengqi nodded and said to everyone in the Nebula Sect: "You all should go back to the mining area. The specific matters will be handled by Lu Chen. Now I will discuss something with Lu Chen and will come over later."
All the inner and outer disciples returned to the mining area.
Lu Chen and Huang Zhengqi walked to a quiet and deserted place. Lu Chen took out a gray storage bag and said, "This thing should be able to bring down Liu Qi."
Huang Zhengqi asked: "Whose is this storage bag?"
"It came from a person named Long Mu from Beiliu Sect."
Lu Chen said.
"Long Mu?
I’ve never heard of this guy.”
Huang Zhengqi shook his head and said.
Lu Chen said: "Because he came to chase me, but I killed him in return. I haven't shown up this month because of this person."
In fact, the reason why Lu Chen disappeared for a month was mainly because he was practicing in the valley, rather than being chased by Long Mu. Of course, the ambush of Long Mu was also true.
Huang Zhengqi was surprised: "Why is this person chasing you?"
Lu Chen told what happened, including what the Blood Demon and the Echo Stone heard in detail.
The more Huang Zhengqi listened, the uglier his face became, and he said, "So, that old guy Nangong Lingxiao colluded with the Beiliu Sect, and also used Longmu to assassinate Jiang Tie?"
Lu Chen nodded and said: "That's the fact, otherwise how could Jiang Tie be hunted down for no reason?
But it’s impossible to say that the Nangong family is colluding with the Beiliu Sect. They are just making deals with the Beiliu Sect. The people Nangong Lingxiao is really colluding with are people from the Nine Nether Demon Sect, and they are the powerful characters behind the scenes."
Huang Zhengqi's face was stern. He also felt that what Lu Chen said was true. From the series of incidents where Lu Chen was hunted down, it can be seen that most of them were controlled by someone behind the scenes. If Lu Chen's strength was not superior to others,
It is estimated that with Lu Chen's vigilance strong enough, it may be difficult to escape the Nangong family's plot.
Lu Chen said: "Since Liu Qi is very familiar with Long Mu, we might as well make an appointment with him under the guise of Long Mu."
"This is a good idea, but how to use Long Mu's name?"
Huang Zhengqi's face lit up and he asked quickly.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Longmu's storage bag is in my hand. There is still a lot of black iron essence in it. This is definitely not something Longmu can mine alone. It is obviously Liu Qi who is doing this deal with Longmu.
, we just need to find out where Liu Qi and Long Mu usually meet."
"How do you ask about this?
It must be very secretive for them to meet."
Huang Zhengqi frowned.
"Leave this to me."
Lu Chen said.
Lu Chen didn't say the specific method, but in fact the matter was not difficult to handle. Liu Qi's identity was relatively conspicuous. He wanted to make deals and discuss things with Long Mu. Generally, he could not come forward in person. He had to send his confidants to discuss with Long Mu, otherwise
It will inevitably attract the attention of others.
As for Liu Qi's confidants, it was not difficult to find out. Lu Chen went directly to Wang Xi and asked Liu Qi carefully about Liu Qi's affairs.
"Senior Brother Lu, Liu Qi had two direct disciples. One of them was killed by Tian Jian, and the other was named Wu Yuan. I have been keeping an eye on Liu Qi's manpower secretly and found that the man named Wu Yuan often went to nearby towns.
, and entered a restaurant called Zhang Yuan Inn for dinner. I felt strange at the time. The most famous restaurant in the whole town is Zishan Restaurant. Wu Yuan goes to Zhang Yuan Inn every time. This Zhang Yuan Inn is just a small inn.
There were very few guests and they were not noticeable, which meant that he must be seeing someone. However, I kept observing him for more than half a month and found that Wu Yuan's face didn't look very good every time he came out of the inn, and he seemed to be very disappointed."
Wang Xi said.
"Okay, very good. This is important news. You didn't attract their attention, right?"
Lu Chen asked.
Wang Xi said: "Brother Lu, don't worry. I'm also very careful. When my senior brother told me to keep an eye on Liu Qi's people carefully, I didn't dare to be negligent at all. I didn't even ask the inn clerk, for fear of alerting the enemy.
.”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "This is the best."
He thought for a moment and suddenly came up with a detailed plan.
First, of course, we went to Zhangyuan Inn with Huang Zhengqi to see what was going on.
The matter is not complicated. Just ask the store clerk and you will have everything figured out.
Lu Chen further speculated from the information he received and knew that Zhang Yuan Inn must be the meeting place between Liu Qi and Long Mu.
Lu Chen took out dozens of crystal stones and asked the store clerk to convey the news directly to Liu Qi, asking Liu Qi to come here in person. Lu Chen and Huang Zhengqi swaggered to eat in the inn, ordered a table full of wine and food, and waited for Liu Qi to come.
"Do you think Liu Qi will come in person?"
Huang Zhengqi asked.
"We haven't seen him for a month. Elder Huang thinks he won't come over?
I think Liu Qi should also be very anxious, but he doesn’t know that Long Mu is dead, and no matter how anxious he is, he won’t be able to see anyone.”
