Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Chu Zhongtian’s Friendly Gesture

Lu Chen had another conversation with Chu Zhongtian about the top sects from various domains. When Chu Zhongtian’s breath finally stabilized, and his wounds had fully recovered, Lu Chen then asked, "So, have your sects had no exchanges with the Eastern Domain? This is, after all, related to the great path of ascension!"

"How could there be no exchanges?"

Chu Zhongtian looked at Li Yanran, then at Qin Yaotiao before saying, "Fellow Daoist and the two immortal maidens, you aren’t disciples from a top sect, are you?"

Lu Chen neither confirmed nor denied.

Chu Zhongtian smiled and said, "Generally speaking, disciples from top sects are all aware of this matter, be it the Haotian Sect, the Spirit Sound Sect, or any other sects. Fellow Daoist, you have asked so many questions that have already proved a point."

Lu Chen laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, we are only from a small, inconsequential sect."

"Fellow Daoist should not belittle yourself. Let alone your own skills, these two immortal maidens also possess extraordinary strength. It seems that all three of you would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond, huh!"

With a sigh, Chu Zhongtian continued, "Unlike us, being in a top sect means being monitored by elders during cultivation, and dealing with ordinary siblings who covet your resources. Difficult, it’s truly very difficult!"

"Oh?"

Lu Chen understood but pretended to be ignorant, asking with feigned surprise, "Then, Fellow Daoist Chu, did you have a falling out with the fellow disciples who entered this Haotian Secret Realm with you?"

"Not exactly," Chu Zhongtian said with a wry smile, "We were separated upon entering, and we were already at odds within the sect, so it was impossible to stick together. And even if we found treasures, how would we share them? It’s better to form alliances with others. If we disagree, we can kill them without any psychological burden."

"You are quite forthright."

Lu Chen gazed at Chu Zhongtian with a meaningful look.

"What else can I do? I also find myself quite helpless," Chu Zhongtian sighed deeply and said, "Each of the major top sects has its own methods. For instance, our Xuanyun Sect hid a mysterious Sword Qi from an elder when we entered. If one of us dies, the Sword Qi will be activated, and the elder will then be able to sense the killer’s aura. Whether they can identify who did it, I’m not sure, but if a disciple from our Xuanyun Sect does it, they will be recognized."

Lu Chen exclaimed in shock, "There is such an ability?"

Lu Chen reflected on the top sect disciples who had died by his hand, which now included Kong Wu and his group of five, as well as more than ten people from the Spirit Sound Sect, including Ao Yu and Ji Mingze.

If he encountered Li Mo again, he would certainly take action!

If these sects all had similar methods, then wouldn’t that mean...

Not to mention that the Western Domain is far from here, just the Haotian Sect alone would be too much for him to handle!

"It seems that, inside Haotian Secret Realm, that substitute wooden puppet really cannot be used anymore!"

Lu Chen was inwardly alarmed, but he still managed to maintain a calm demeanor, saying with a face full of fear, "Luckily I did not kill Fellow Daoist Chu, otherwise, if I were to go to the Central Domain later, I would have the Xuanyun Sect on my back."

The corner of Chu Zhongtian’s mouth twitched; he had no way to respond to that.

Little did he know, when it came time to act, Lu Chen wouldn’t hesitate for a second!

However, he then remembered something.

Kong Wu’s letter!

In Kong Wu’s letter, the instruction was to trap and kill all the top sect disciples from outside the Eastern Domain!

It seemed that the Haotian Sect also had its concerns, which is why they wanted Kong Wu to lead them to the forbidden areas of the Haotian Secret Realm!

At that time, if they died in the forbidden areas, the Haotian Sect could cleanly wash their hands of all responsibility!

This was indeed a clever strategy!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel alarmed as well. It seemed this Haotian Secret Realm was not about treasure hunting, but instead about slaughtering the geniuses of the other domains!

After decades or a hundred years, how could the talents of the other domains possibly compete with those from the Eastern Domain?

However, he had, unintentionally, ruined most of the Eastern Domain’s plans.

Did this mean he had completely offended the Haotian Sect?

It looked like he wouldn’t be able to return to Casting Gear Pavilion...

Could he only return to Tianyuan now?

Lu Chen’s gaze flickered as he casually glanced back at Li Yanran.

Yu Zhibai of Casting Gear Pavilion, had also been killed by him!

He wondered how Junior Sister Li would explain herself when she returned!

Seeing Lu Chen occasionally looking towards Li Yanran, Chu Zhongtian thought Lu Chen was concerned about her injuries. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, I have brought a piece of Spiritual Medicine with me that can heal a hundred types of injuries. Why not let this immortal maiden try it?"
