Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Chu Zhongtian’s Request!

Qin Yaotiao had no experience, so the three naturally huddled together, following Mo Buwen’s suggestion.

Yu Qingqing said, "Brother Mo is right, the Eastern Domain is in turmoil now, and no one knows what will happen next. Brother Lu Dao is blessed by the heavens, he surely won’t encounter any trouble."

Qin Yaotiao nodded, looking somewhat distressed as she gazed outside.

It wasn’t just the Eastern Domain that was in turmoil; even the Casting Gear Pavilion might not hold out for long.

According to Li Yanran, there might be ancient beasts that have discovered this place, lurking outside the sect.

And with only Danyang Zi at the Nascent Soul Stage, it was uncertain whether he could sustain the Mountain Protection Array.

If the array were to break...

I’m afraid it would be a calamity for all living beings!

Qin Yaotiao touched the pendant on her chest but ultimately didn’t release her ancient beast.

She had some selfish reasons.

If the Casting Gear Pavilion truly faced disaster, she would rely on that ancient beast to protect herself and Yu Qingqing, to flee into the Abyss!

...

"Chu Daoist, was it you who brought me here?"

In the mines of the Xuanyun Sect, Lu Chen finally awaited Chu Zhongtian’s return.

What puzzled him was why Chu Zhongtian was being punished again.

"Brother Lu Dao, you’re awake? That’s really great!"

Chu Zhongtian was overjoyed, as Lu Chen’s level of cultivation was higher than his own, he naturally felt awkward calling him Daoist anymore, but calling him senior didn’t feel right either, so he settled for calling him Brother Dao.

Lu Chen didn’t mind what he was called, and nodded, asking, "What has happened in the meantime?"

He only remembered being injured by Lin Miaoyin, but what happened after that was completely unknown to him.

"Brother Lu Dao, it’s a long story..."

Chu Zhongtian sighed and recounted what had transpired, becoming startled upon learning that Ancestor Xuanjian was missing too.

Hearing that Chu Zhongtian was condemned to mine for four years because of him, Lu Chen was also greatly shocked.

"Chu Daoist, you could have completely abandoned me."

Lu Chen spoke with an inexplicable expression, as his initial choice to not kill Chu Zhongtian was actually with the intent of infiltrating the Xuanyun Sect.

However, he had not expected that his presence would involve Chu Zhongtian.

"It’s fine," Chu Zhongtian said indifferently, with a wry smile, "If I have to mine, so be it, it’s peaceful. If Ancestor Xuanjian doesn’t come back, we’ll just stay here comfortably. Brother Lu Dao, how is your recovery? If you have recovered... it’s up to you to decide whether to stay or go."

Lu Chen heard the implication in his words, but since he was completely unaware of the outside situation, he hesitated for a moment and then replied with a wry smile, "You haven’t abandoned me, so how can I abandon you? You also said it’s peaceful here, so maybe I should just stay and focus on my cultivation!"

Continuing his cultivation wasn’t a problem; he only needed to keep practicing the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method. If he found it monotonous, he could also study the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique or the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

Beyond that, he had several storage rings on him and a few cultivation techniques as well.

He could even practice alchemy!

"That’s good," Chu Zhongtian said cheerfully, "Since you don’t have mining duties and this place is deep within the mines where no one will come, Brother Lu Dao, just focus on your cultivation!"

At this point, he paused, and then with a pleading look, he said, "Brother Lu Dao, I have a favor to ask... if it’s not too much trouble for you..."

"What’s the trouble? Just tell me about it."

Lu Chen feigned anger. After all that Chu Zhongtian had done, he had long lost the desire to kill him.

Indeed.

Back in the secret realm, everyone was chasing after treasures, and Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to turn against him.

As long as Chu Zhongtian’s request wasn’t excessive, Lu Chen was willing to agree.

"It’s like this," Chu Zhongtian, relieved by Lu Chen’s lack of refusal, said, "Brother Lu Dao, if you can reach the Nascent Soul Stage here and Ancestor Xuanjian hasn’t returned to protect me... I hope you can take me away from the Xuanyun Sect and head to the Eastern Domain!"

Lu Chen was stunned, then curiously asked, "You, the pride of the Xuanyun Sect, why would you want to go to the Eastern Domain? Besides, haven’t you heard the news that those beasts have all gone to the Eastern Domain?"

Chu Zhongtian gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Lu Dao, which sect’s pride would be punished to mine for violating the sect’s rules? The last time I won’t mention, but this time... four years!"

Lu Chen fell silent.

From Chu Zhongtian’s words, he realized that this pride of the sect was perhaps unhappy in the Xuanyun Sect.

And it seemed Ancestor Xuanjian was his support.

But that support’s fate was uncertain now.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen nodded, "Alright, if that’s the case, I will take you to the Eastern Domain! But can you tell me, what is it that you want to do in the Eastern Domain?"

Chu Zhongtian glanced towards the direction outside the mine, then lowered his voice.

"The gateway to the Spirit World!"
