Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Might Be Related to the Parents!

When Chu Zhongtian knocked on the ice house, the sound startled Lu Chen.

Though the sound was faint, mixed with the whistle of the wind, it stood out as distinctly different.

Lu Chen didn’t know how to comfort Qin Yaotiao, nor could he spare any attention for Li Yanran. Clutching the Ice Spirit Pearl in his hand, he moved closer to the direction the sound had come from.

Listening closely, he could make out the conversation between two people.

Hearing that they intended to create an entrance there to temporarily take shelter from the blizzard, Lu Chen decided to kill them.

After all, they would never imagine that he was hiding in this place!

He could certainly take them by surprise and triumph.

The last time he was in the icy terrain, he was constantly at a disadvantage.

But now, with control over Ice Spiritual Power, the odds were against them. For Lu Chen, facing two was hardly a problem!

What he didn’t expect was to overhear them mention Tianyuan.

One was a cultivator from the Central Domain, and the other from the Southern Domain!

Though both bordered the Eastern Domain, they were tens of thousands of miles apart!

How could there be such serious events happening in Tianyuan?

Lu Chen pricked up his ears, not daring to let out even a breath.

The sound of Chu Zhongtian’s voice, along with the noise of the pickaxe chipping away, reached Lu Chen’s ears!

"Years ago, it was rumored that a strange treasure had appeared deep within Tianyuan!"

Li Mo nodded, saying, "I’ve heard about it, but at that time, I was in closed-door cultivation, so I don’t know the details."

Chu Zhongtian laughed, "At first, I thought the same, that Tianyuan was just like some of the cultivation sites in our Central Domain, or in your Southern Domain. Our sect leader sent me and several fellow disciples to sneak into the Eastern Domain secretly to explore the depths of Tianyuan!"

"You know, it’s forbidden to enter realms without permission. We took Concealing Breath Pills and disguised as ordinary martial artists, making our way to Tianyuan. Our final stop was a place called Heavenly Book Academy!"

"That Heavenly Book Academy is merely a third-rate sect that recruits potential cultivators from martial artists, with mortals making up the majority. We found the dean and planned to hide among them until the restrictions in the depths of Tianyuan were lifted, and then explore further!"

"But who would have thought, our identities were exposed!"

Li Mo was surprised, "You were cultivators and had taken Concealing Breath Pills. How were you discovered?"

He knew a little about the incident. It was said that later on, with the Haotian Sect at the forefront, several major sects were furious. The Xuanyun Sect was in the wrong and had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

The Li Fire Sect also sent disciples.

However, the matter with the Xuanyun Sect occurred earlier, and the disciples of the Li Fire Sect did not penetrate deep into the Eastern Domain before they retreated.

"Actually, we were not discovered at the academy," Chu Zhongtian said with a wry smile, "but rather in Tianyuan itself!"

"How on earth were you discovered out of the blue?"

Li Mo was even more astonished, as it seemed completely illogical.

"The blame lies in our ignorance of the rules the Eastern Domain set for Tianyuan! Only cultivators at Foundation Establishment are allowed inside Tianyuan, otherwise heavy penalties are imposed! If others wish to enter, they must have permission from at least a second-tier sect."

"The Eastern Domain is indeed united as one," Li Mo couldn’t help but praise, only to draw Chu Zhongtian’s rebuttal.

"You’re thinking too simply," Chu Zhongtian shook his head. "If it was as united as you say, we wouldn’t have suffered a loss. Did you know the kind of crisis we encountered in Tianyuan?"

"What, even with Core Formation Stage cultivators, you faced danger?"

Li Mo’s interest was piqued.

"We had Core Formation Stage cultivators, but they... also had Core Formation Stage cultivators! Moreover, there were two of them!"

Chu Zhongtian’s words sent a shiver through Lu Chen, his mind racing with thoughts of his parents, Lu Tianren and Li Qingyao!

Could it be that his father was trapped there by the Xuanyun Sect?

"Didn’t you say Core Formation Stage cultivators from the Eastern Domain can’t enter Tianyuan? And since you infiltrated stealthily, even if they reported it level by level and dispatched Core Formation Stage cultivators, would there be enough time?"

Li Mo was even more surprised.

"It’s precisely because there’s also open and covert conflict in the Eastern Domain. They actually discovered us sneaking in early on, but allowed us to enter Tianyuan to solidify evidence against us, so our Xuanyun Sect would have to compensate! The domains were arguing over how to divide the compensation, which is why it happened like this."

Chu Zhongtian’s face showed bitterness, completely oblivious to the shocked expression on Lu Chen’s face inside the ice house!

His parents were actually connected to Chu Zhongtian?

It seemed he would have to kill Li Mo first and then leave Chu Zhongtian alive!

Then he could interrogate him about the past events. Perhaps he could break those chains without needing the Art of Refinement!
