Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Arrival at Haotian Sect!

"If you are not afraid, then once we arrive at the place, you will follow me,"

Seeing this, Lu Chen sat down again.

Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing were both surprised and delighted.

They had thought that after their last farewell, it would be like they were forever separated by heaven and earth, never to meet again.

But to their surprise, upon seeing them again, Lu Chen showed no sign of looking down upon them.

Especially Yu Qingqing.

She had always thought that by helping them enter the Heavenly Pill Pavilion and thus embark on the Immortal Path, Lu Chen had repaid his debt of gratitude, and they would be like strangers upon their next meeting.

What she was witnessing now only confirmed in her heart that Lu Chen was a person who valued relationships and righteousness. How could she not be overjoyed?

Mo Buwen felt the same. After exchanging glances, they resolved to stick closely to Lu Chen this time. Perhaps that would offer them a sliver of hope for survival!

From the intelligence they’d gathered, it was very likely that the Haotian Secret Realm was a deathtrap and they could end up as pawns of a first-rate sect.

...

Their movements naturally caught the attention of the owner of the giant sword.

His name was Wan Jianren, the current leader of Mount Thousand Swords, and his power had even reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul!

He, like Danyang Zi, could face heavenly tribulation at any time.

But his cultivation had stagnated, seeking another breakthrough meant relying on external aids.

Like a magic artifact!

That is why he intended to meet with Danyang Zi again after returning from the Haotian Sect, to have him forge an unparalleled sword for himself!

There are certainly high-level Artifact Refiners in the Mortal Realm.

But someone of Danyang Zi’s caliber was rare indeed!

Perhaps a first-rate sect would have them, but how could they possibly forge a magic sword for a second-rate sect like Mount Thousand Swords?

Wan Jianren knew this well and would never go to humiliate himself by asking.

"Who would have thought that disciples of the Casting Gear Pavilion would be acquainted with a menial servant of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion? That’s quite interesting!"

He was familiar with Danyang Zi and knew what kind of person he was.

Dispatching these three, namely Lu Chen, clearly indicated their great importance to him.

But why would such valued disciples be so amiable with two Qi Cultivators?

This piqued his curiosity, and perhaps upon his return, he could have a discussion with Danyang Zi about it.

Wan Jianren did not interrupt their exchange of thoughts. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly deliver these disciples, complete his task, and then return to the Ji Pavilion.

The flying sword traveled at very high speed, but it still took more than ten days to finally reach the Haotian Sect!

"Should we have flown thousands of miles away?"

As the flying sword landed steadily, Mo Buwen stood beside Lu Chen and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

"Not just thousands of miles," said Yu Qingqing, a female cultivator with a relatively meticulous mind. "It’s almost twenty thousand miles!"

"That far!"

Mo Buwen was astonished, and even Lu Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Yu Qingqing, I have no idea how far we’ve flown. How can you be so sure?"

Yu Qingqing chuckled and said, "Brother Lu Dao, it’s over a thousand miles from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion to the Casting Gear Pavilion. I noted the approximate time, and that’s how I made the calculation."

During these ten-plus days of waiting, Lu Chen had also told the two not to call him senior anymore, and just call him Dao-brother instead.

"I see," Lu Chen suddenly realized, unexpectedly discovering that Yu Qingqing was so detail-oriented, which might be of great help in the Haotian Secret Realm!

"Brother Lu, who are these two...?"

At that moment, Li Yanran came over and asked with a curious expression. She was somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Chen would associate so closely with two Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.

Even if they were old acquaintances, wasn’t the difference in their realms a bit too vast?

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yu Zhibai appeared behind Li Yanran with a smile on his face, "Sister Li, the sect leader said we should follow Brother Lu’s arrangements. There must be a reason behind his actions."

Li Yanran turned to look at Yu Zhibai and stopped talking.

Lu Chen frowned slightly; he detected the underlying meaning in Yu Zhibai’s words, it was a reminder to Li Yanran that Lu Chen was not suitable to lead, pulling even random people to his side!

Fortunately, Lu Chen had always been wary of Yu Zhibai. The only uncertainty was Li Yanran’s attitude.

Yet, based on Li Yanran’s reaction, he didn’t glean any useful information.

Pretending not to catch the implied meaning, Lu Chen explained, "Junior Brother Yu, Sister Li, these two are friends from my time as a Loose Cultivator. Though their realms are low, having them join us means that in the Haotian Secret Realm, our Ji Pavilion will at least not be at a numerical disadvantage!"

"Brother Lu’s arrangements are final, no need to explain to us."

Yu Zhibai smiled broadly but spoke these words to Li Yanran.

It was as if he was persuading Li Yanran to agree!

As expected, Li Yanran’s indifferent expression finally showed a frown.
