Chapter 598: Chapter 598 North Dragon Sect Informed!

If there were heavenly treasures or supreme wonders of the earth, Lu Chen naturally wanted them.

However, at the moment, finding Qin Yaotiao was more important.

His reason for not inquiring about the ultimate treasures was that he feared they were too valuable and might arouse his own greed, thereby delaying his search for Qin Yaotiao and Li Yanran!

Lu Chen’s emphasis left Ao Rong speechless.

After a long while, he slowly recounted how he had come to this forbidden area.

The cause was simple.

After they entered the Haotian Secret Realm, they contacted their fellow sect disciples immediately.

Apart from Ao Yu, the other four gathered together, intending to find Ao Yu and regroup.

But unexpectedly, on their way, they encountered several cultivators from the Eastern Domain.

"We met a disciple from the Guiyuan Sect, one of the top-tier sects, and with our numbers, we weren’t afraid they would harm us. But little did we know, he lured us here..."

"Guiyuan Sect?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, this sect was unfamiliar to him.

That made sense.

Before arriving at the Haotian Secret Realm, when had he ever been in contact with top-tier sects?

At most, he had heard of some second-tier sects, like the Hehuan Sect and Qingyun Sect!

But one thing was certain.

The purpose of this secret realm was exactly as stated in the letter found on Kong Wu.

The top-tier sects of the Eastern Domain had joined forces to annihilate the disciples of top-tier sects from other domains—and leave no evidence of their deaths!

Just...

Having already killed Ao Yu, followed by three others from the North Dragon Sect, if their sects had any secret techniques, it was likely that he was already marked.

One more or one less Ao Rong did not make a difference.

So be it.

Kill, then.

After all, wasn’t the aim of the Eastern Domain to harm their sects as well?

If the North Dragon Sect wanted to seek retribution, they would first have to come to the Eastern Domain, wouldn’t they?

And when they arrived, they would face the Haotian Sect!

This was good, too; he had essentially muddied the waters of the Eastern Domain.

Perhaps he could take advantage of the chaos...

After all, disciples from the Spirit Sound Sect and the Haotian Sect had died by his hand.

Lu Chen was a man of his word, taking up his spear, he thrust it directly into Ao Rong’s heart.

By now.

All five disciples from the North Dragon Sect had perished at the hands of Lu Chen!

"Next, I need to find Yaotiao. It’s indeed hard to search in this forbidden area!"

Lu Chen sighed, withdrew the Heavenly Inquiry Spear into his hand, then holding the Ice Spirit Pearl and stepping on the ice fan, he flew swiftly in the direction Ao Rong had indicated earlier!

...

The Northern Domain.

North Dragon Sect.

"Great Elder, it’s terrible! The soul lamps of all five disciples from our North Dragon Sect who went to the Haotian Secret Realm have been extinguished!"

The soul lamp was unique to the North Dragon Sect.

Made with Ice Spiritual Power to form the lamp, and a strand of one’s soul as the wick.

Of course, the wick was not actually set aflame.

To say the soul lamp was extinguished meant that the strand of soul had dissipated.

Only the lamp vessel remained.

"What?"

The Great Elder had been sitting in the hall, meditating. At his level of cultivation, further training yielded little benefit. Instead, he was better off contemplating how to find an entrance to the Spirit World.

The Mortal Realm could no longer advance his cultivation.

But the news of the annihilation of five of their most promising disciples naturally shocked him.

They were the future pillars of the North Dragon Sect!

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

The Great Elder rose, looking at the Core Formation administrator before him.

His frosty gaze caused the other’s Golden Core to tremble uncontrollably.

It was due to fear, as well as the cold.

For as the Great Elder stood, the temperature in the entire hall plummeted, coating everything with frost!

Nascent Soul Stage!

"No... No!"

The administrator was so frightened that tears formed, but the tears turned to ice and clung to the edges of his eyes due to the low temperature.

"Do we know if they died at the hands of others or from accidents?"

The Great Elder’s expression grew even darker.

If their death was accidental, it meant that their destiny had ended and their lifespan was over.

But the simultaneous death of all five...

He absolutely didn’t believe it was a accident.

Before the five disciples set off, they had made sufficient preparations.

Apart from measures that could identify their killers, they were given luminous ice talismans and miraculous healing medicines.

Since the North Dragon Sect was farthest from the Eastern Domain, if something happened, there would be significant delays in reaching there.

Yet, it was shortly after their departure that the news of their deaths arrived!

"According to the marks that appeared on the five ice soul lamps, it should be the work of the same person! However, Ao Yu died earlier, a few hours before. Ao Rong was the last to die, and the other three died around the same time!"

"It’s definitely the work of a person..."

The Great Elder’s pupils constricted and the temperature dropped sharply again!

"Bei Zhou, head to... Haotian Sect!"
