Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Muskets Surround Over a Hundred Cultivators!

Qin Yaotiao and Lu Chen engaged in dual cultivation mainly to restore Lu Chen, naturally focusing on his needs.

Not only did she use the spiritual power within her body for Lu Chen’s recovery, but she inadvertently also transferred over her Daoist essence, which was the main reason for Lu Chen’s rapid recovery.

Naturally, she wasn’t in a good state at the moment, so Lu Chen didn’t plan on taking her with him.

Leaving Li Yanran behind was entirely to look after Qin Yaotiao.

"Qin... sister," Li Yanran changed her way of addressing Qin Yaotiao and said, "Brother Lu... He..."

Although it was just a change in the form of address, Qin Yaotiao was greatly pleased, seeing it as recognition of her status.

She suddenly felt much more at ease in her heart. With a beautiful smile, she said, "He’s recovered, I can feel that he is doing very well."

Having said this, her face suddenly flushed red.

The word "feel" seemed to carry an ambiguity.

Li Yanran hadn’t connected it that way, taking Qin Yaotiao by the hand and walking towards the cave, "Then sister, you should also rest well. Otherwise, when Brother Lu returns, he will be worried!"

"Mhm."

Qin Yaotiao, with her gentle nature, went back inside the cave, and the two women stayed there, discussing Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing.

If it weren’t for the fear that Lu Chen might return and not find them, the two women would have loved to go searching for them right then.

Meanwhile.

Lu Chen was moving at high speed.

He could clearly sense a difference in himself.

His realm hadn’t changed; all he had done was swap his Heavenly Inquiry Spear for a Pupil Bead.

The spiritual power was still just as it was.

But the circulation of Imperial Command within his nine meridians seemed more robust.

"When I have time, I’ll thoroughly investigate it," he thought.

The Hateful Heaven Totem had said that Lu Chen could only enter the Hateful Heaven ancestral land once he reached the Core Formation Stage. Currently, in the Haotian Secret Realm, he had seen the dangers within the realm, mostly from the hearts of people. Therefore, his next steps required careful planning, emphasizing stability.

Following the shouting that had ceased, no other sounds came, but Lu Chen remembered the direction and naturally wouldn’t go astray.

He kept moving forward, completely unaware of the magic artifact beneath his feet, which had actually come from Kong Wu.

Suddenly.

He saw in the sky above, over a hundred cultivators surrounding a faint firelight, all casting spells and techniques.

Spells, spell formulas, magic artifacts.

Talismans, treasured amulets, spiritual methods.

In plentiful supply.

"It’s strange, these cultivators clearly don’t all belong to the same region, so why would they unite in battle?"

Lu Chen had a feeling something was wrong and used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to carefully observe the situation.

Fortunately, he had mastered the Heart’s Eye early on, so the absence of Pupil Beads in his eyes was not an issue.

Nevertheless, this made Lu Chen remember the empty sockets of his eyes. He casually tore off a strip of cloth from his sleeve and blindfolded himself, like he did in the past, resembling a one-eyed dragon.

Here, Lu Chen quickly pinpointed the problem.

He inhaled sharply, whispering in shock, "It’s not that they are surrounding my Heavenly Inquiry Spear, but rather they are trapped by it! They are attacking jointly to escape!"

Only about a li away, some cultivators had already noticed him.

Fearing entanglement, Lu Chen swiftly descended towards the ground!

"Would this Haotian Sect friend be willing to help?"

At that moment, a delicate voice reached him, and Lu Chen paused, puzzled. Haotian Sect?

How did she mistake me for someone from Haotian Sect?

He had just landed, retracting his magic artifact, when he noticed that he was holding a standard short stick magic artifact of the Haotian Sect.

He chuckled bitterly, realizing his carelessness.

Looking in the direction from where the woman’s voice had originated, Lu Chen saw the lady, her face as fresh as a blooming peach. Even amidst danger, she was all smiles, seemingly unconcerned.

If Lu Chen hadn’t seen the problem for himself, he would have thought the female cultivator was inviting him to join her in a treasure hunt!

"Fairy, you have plenty of people, and you don’t need one more. It’s better if I just watch from here!"

Having said that, he headed towards the pit on his own.

If he remembered correctly, his Heavenly Inquiry Spear was beneath the pit.

The Qi Cyclone he had caused earlier had scattered above the pit, burying it securely, and Lu Chen had his own plans.

One reason was that the Heavenly Inquiry Spear was his source of confidence.

And another was to let these cultivators deplete the power of the fire spear as much as possible.

The best plan at the moment was to wait and take advantage of the situation later.

But unexpectedly.

Just as Lu Chen neared the edge of the pit, the firelight from the fire spear in the sky intensified, breaking free from the encirclement. It turned sharply downwards toward Lu Chen like an arrow released from its bow and shot towards him!

"Whoosh—"

With the flash of light, everyone was momentarily blinded, and the fire spear was already above Lu Chen’s head!
