Chapter 572: Chapter 572: What a Vicious Mind!

For Lu Chen, this was entirely an unexpected gain. He glanced at Chu Zhongtian and still proceeded to store the jade boxes one after another.

"At worst, I’ll let you live a bit longer!"

Lu Chen would no longer reveal any other storage bags on his person. Chu Zhongtian’s experiences were far more extensive than his, and if by any chance, Chu recognized that Lu Chen had killed Ji Mingze and it raised his guard, that would be troublesome.

"Thank you, Brother Chu, it’s just a pity that I didn’t seize the Earth Fire,"

Lu Chen intentionally sighed.

"Brother, you didn’t get the Earth Fire?"

Chu Zhongtian was taken aback; he saw Lu Chen sensing the alchemy medicines and previously attempting to snatch the Earth Fire Magic Artifact, which was why he took out these Spiritual Medicines to curry favor with Lu Chen again.

If he could get him to perform alchemy...

Perhaps he could even turn the tables and kill Lu Chen!

As for Li Yanran and Qin Yaotiao, earlier outside the valley, he indeed had evaluated the strength of these two women. Apart from surprise attacks, they were not entirely unimpressive.

No matter how pure the Wood Spirit Power, at most it could only trap people.

For him, the Wood Element Spells he had seen were mostly for healing and saving others.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken out the pill that could save Li Yanran as a gesture of goodwill.

"Yeah," Lu Chen, seeing that Chu Zhongtian had taken the bait, pretended to regret, "The three of us struggled bitterly against Ao Yu, but who would have thought that the opponent possessed an Ice Control Taoist Body? In this land of ice, we were at a great disadvantage, which is why my junior sister was injured and fell unconscious."

"So, did Ao Yu take away the Earth Fire?"

Chu Zhongtian squinted his eyes; he had always assumed that Lu Chen had dealt with Ao Yu and his companion.

"Not at all," Lu Chen sighed, "We encountered five people. They were clearly from a top-tier sect, and it seemed the leader’s last name was Kong!"

"The Kong family... Kong Wu!"

Chu Zhongtian inhaled sharply, quickly pondering the credibility of Lu Chen’s statement.

Kong Wu, with his Immaculate Dao Body, was immune not only to Ice Spiritual Power but also unaffected by demonic power and Magic Power!

And there were five of them; it really was a possibility!

"You’ve seen that I too am skilled in Ice Control, and I could have fought Ao Yu, but who would have thought we’d be ambushed by Brother Kong and his group? Junior Sister Li sacrificed herself to save the two of us..."

Since Kong Wu was already dead, his ashes dispersed by the wind, Lu Chen freely fabricated the story, secure in the knowledge that the dead can’t refute.

"That’s really a shame," Chu Zhongtian said, "With Kong Wu taking advantage of being the host of the Eastern Domain, he could indeed gather five people as soon as he entered. Moreover, with his natural Immaculate Body, we all can’t help but envy and resent him!"

Lu Chen exclaimed, "It’s probably good luck too. The Earth Fire is gone, but that’s not a big issue; we can always look for it later. But if our lives were gone, then everything would really be over."

"Indeed, Brother Lu has a far-sighted view," Chu Zhongtian agreed sincerely. After all, wasn’t everything he was doing now also just to survive?

"Is Kong Wu still in this ice domain?"

"I’m not sure about that," Lu Chen replied, "After they took the Earth Fire, they were in a hurry to leave, saying they needed to go to some forbidden area. Brother Chu, do you know of any forbidden areas in the Haotian Secret Realm?"

Chu Zhongtian spoke with a grave voice, "Forbidden area? I’ve never heard the elders mention it. They only said that they accepted the invitation from the Haotian Sect to explore this secret realm. The treasures we find, Haotian Sect will not take any share, allowing us to take them away! But hearing what you just said, there must be a reason behind it!"

A thought flashed through Lu Chen’s mind... perhaps...

He could direct the attention of Haotian Sect towards Chu Zhongtian!

As long as he didn’t kill him inside the secret realm, once they left, he would have an extra opportunity!

"Brother Chu, alas, I shall not conceal anything from you anymore. Look at this letter, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from a storage bag, which he had gotten from Kong Wu, and handed it over.

Meanwhile, he turned around and placed a pill into Li Yanran’s mouth.

While the power of the medicine was being assimilated, Chu Zhongtian could see everything written on the letter, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Such a vicious plot!"

After a while, he managed to utter those words, his face filled with fear.

It was only when he noticed Lu Chen looking at him again that he gave him a complicated look. "Brother Lu, your Eastern Domain... really goes all out, even planning to wipe out all the other major domains in one fell swoop!"

He too was a favored son of heaven, and the letter had nothing too cryptic. With a bit of careful thought, one could understand the details inside.
