Chapter 1464: Chapter 1423: Accident

It was night.

Thick clouds covered the pale afterglow, making Little Frost Peak seem particularly cold and deathly silent.

Though it was always like this, today Lu Chuan felt something was not quite right.

The air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood.

“Strange… why haven’t I seen Shadow?”

Every night, Shadow would guard the foot of Little Frost Peak, why was there no sign of him today?

Lu Chuan was deeply puzzled and extended his perception ability, indeed not detecting Shadow’s aura nearby. However, Lu Chuan discovered several spiritual energy fluctuations that had never appeared before at the top of Little Frost Peak, which made him feel uneasy.

“Impossible?”

In this Penglai Immortal Domain, is there really someone daring to attack Kong Zhaozhao?

As the daughter of the Sect Master, Kong Zhaozhao held a transcendent status within the Immortal Sect, and ordinary people were not even allowed to approach Little Frost Peak. Now there were so many strange auras, something abnormal must be happening!

With this thought, Lu Chuan immediately quickened his pace, ascending the steps along the ridge towards Little Frost Peak. As he burst through the bamboo forest, the scene before him chilled his heart!

But what he saw was that the Lake Heart Pavilion was already surrounded by approximately a dozen people, some at the Golden Core, others at the Nascent Soul, leaving Kong Zhaozhao alone fighting bitterly like a trapped beast. As for Shadow, he was long gone!

But Kong Zhaozhao, afflicted with Frost Poison, was unable to easily use her spiritual power. Additionally, facing such a large number of people, she quickly fell into a disadvantage!

Seeing this, Lu Chuan did not hesitate for a moment. With a thought, the Golden Luster Stick materialized out of thin air. Lu Chuan attacked from behind, delivering a powerful strike that easily knocked one person down!

“Damn it, Kong Zhaozhao, where’s Shadow?”

Lu Chuan rushed over the water, the Divine Fire of the Sun igniting on the Golden Luster Stick, turning the entire rod blisteringly hot, burning and lethal to the touch!

“Qin Tao, why are you here! Hurry and leave!”

“Stop talking nonsense, tell me where Shadow is!”

Lu Chuan protected Kong Zhaozhao behind him, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

These people were not a problem for Lu Chuan, but the issue was that he was present in front of Kong Zhaozhao as Qin Tao. If he exposed his power, it would be even more troublesome to explain later on!

“Shadow… Shadow was lured away by someone. I don’t know where he is!”

“That fool! How did he get lured away? Among everyone on Little Frost Peak, your life is the most precious, and he didn’t protect you properly. What was he thinking running off?”

“Shadow… Shadow went to the secret realm. He sensed someone forcefully trying to breach the secret realm, so he had to leave, Qin Tao, you should go too!”

“Me leave? If I leave, what will happen to you? Will you survive?”

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, watching more and more people rushing up from the foot of the mountain, all at the Nascent Soul Realm. In total, almost sixty people, this number disparity, if Lu Chuan continued to conceal his identity, Kong Zhaozhao would surely perish!

With this thought, Lu Chuan let out a long sigh, then turned to Kong Zhaozhao and said in a deep voice: “Um… could you do me a favor and faint?”

Kong Zhaozhao: “?”

“I… I don’t quite understand.”

“You don’t need to understand, just faint, any method will do.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I need to get you out of here, but my identity… cannot be revealed.”

At this point, either continuing to pretend to be Qin Tao, ensuring Kong Zhaozhao’s death, or exposing his identity, if discovered, Lu Chuan’s fate would not be much better.

“Who… who are you really?”

“I’m sorry.”

As the words fell, Lu Chuan flashed to the front of Kong Zhaozhao, transformed his palm into a blade, and struck heavily onto Kong Zhaozhao’s neck. She felt her vision darken, her consciousness drifting as she collapsed into Lu Chuan’s arms.

“Rest assured, I’m holding back. You should be fine after a few hours of sleep.”

Lu Chuan gently cradled Kong Zhaozhao, unfastened his long robe to cushion her, then turned back to face the crowd.

“So many of you, who have you offended that they want you dead?

Fine, I’ll save you one more time today.”

With that, arms appeared behind Lu Chuan, clapped heavily, and a crisp sound echoed from the mountaintop, reaching everyone’s ears.

“This place, no spiritual power allowed!”

“Quickly finish him! Don’t forget our purpose!”

The leading masked man lowered his voice, saying solemnly, “Our time is running out!”

“Indeed, your time is running out.”

Lu Chuan smirked, Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna flew out backward and voluntarily placed himself into Lu Chuan’s arms. Lu Chuan, like a bulldozer, charged into the crowd, the light of blades flashing, stick shadows like dragons!

Unable to use spiritual power, these people in front of Lu Chuan were no different from lambs awaiting slaughter. Against Lu Chuan’s body, comparable to the Saint Realm, they were like eggshells, shattering at a touch!

However, even though Lu Chuan had already killed nearly thirty people, more continued to emerge from the foot of the mountain, their numbers increasing.

Spiritual power rapidly depleting, Precepts support couldn’t last long, so Lu Chuan decided to lift the restrictions and finish quickly!

“Ignite!”

Boom!

Intense flames burst forth, spreading over the top of Little Frost Peak like a flood dragon, engulfing everything around. The flames extended, turning nearly all of Little Frost Peak into a sea of fire. Amid the unending cries of agony, Lu Chuan remained calm, showing no signs of turmoil.

Though unclear about the identity and purpose of these people, what Kong Zhaozhao mentioned about the secret realm certainly caught Lu Chuan’s attention.

Could this secret realm be the place where the Heavenly Pendant is hidden?

If that’s the case, everything makes sense: why Lu Chuan could sense the aura of the Heavenly Pendant but not pinpoint its location, and why so many people suddenly appeared to harm Kong Zhaozhao. It’s likely that she holds the knowledge to open the secret realm.

With this thought, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the gradually dying flames, and approached someone who still had a trace of life, heavily stomping on his chest.

“I’ll ask, and you answer. I’ll give you a quick death.”

“Who… who are you really?”

“I’m the one asking, not you.”

Lu Chuan took out an elixir pill and stuffed it into the man’s mouth. The body, reduced to charcoal, slowly regained life, and the scorched flesh fell away, revealing the original, intact skin.

However, before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Chuan stomped heavily on his shoulder, grinding the flesh and blood into pieces, the sharp pain almost driving him to collapse!

“Answer me, who sent you?”

“Kill… kill me! Even if you kill me, I won’t tell you anything!”

“Alright, you have guts! I’ll set you free now!”

“Wait, wait! Don’t do it!”

Seeing Lu Chuan about to raise the Golden Luster Stick, the man panicked immediately.
