494: Chapter 461 Thief’s Gourd_1 494: Chapter 461 Thief’s Gourd_1 These dozens of figures each had an immensely powerful aura, evidently, they all had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
The crowd arrived inside the great hall, where an elder in a white robe with white hair and beard, an aura of an immortal, and an inward breath, exuding a sense of gentleness, was already waiting.
Next to the elder was a table, on which were placed three soul lamps that had been extinguished.
The crowd glanced at the three extinguished soul lamps on the table, and someone stepped forward, cupping his hands towards the old man in white, and asked, “Vice Sect Leader, may I ask why you have summoned us here?”
The old man in white indifferently said, “Just now, Taoist Priest Danyang’s soul lamp has been extinguished; we can confirm that he died out there.
And based on the last vision he sent back before his death, we can determine that the one who killed him was this person.”
With a wave of his hand, a light and shadow appeared above the soul lamp representing Taoist Priest Danyang, showing the last scene Danyang saw before his death.
The person in the vision was none other than Lu Chuan!
The crowd immediately burst into discussion.
“Taoist Priest Danyang was considered above average in our Penglai Immortal Domain.
This young man actually managed to kill him, he seems quite extraordinary.”
“This young man looks very young.
Logically, even the most top-notch Martial Path prodigy couldn’t possibly grow powerful enough to kill Taoist Priest Danyang at such an age.
And now, in the End of Sects and Magic Era, it’s incredibly rare for new Cultivators to emerge in the secular world.
This sort of monstrous character should not exist, how did he manage to kill Danyang?”
“Those from the martial arts world can only match us once they’ve reached the Martial King Realm, and according to the intelligence we have, there is no such young man among those in the martial arts world who have reached the Martial King Realm.
Besides, reaching the Martial King Realm requires not just talent but years of tempering.
This kid clearly cannot be a Martial King expert, so if he killed Danyang, I can’t think of any other possibility except that he is a Cultivator like us.”
“A new Cultivator appearing…
Could it be that the Earth’s environment has started to change?”
The old man in white listened to the discussions, then pointed to the other two soul lamps and said, “These two soul lamps belong to Tu Youming and the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest.
They, too, died in the secular world not long ago, and the one who killed them both was also this Lu Chuan.”
He waved his hand again, and the last scenes witnessed by Tu Youming and the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest before their deaths also appeared above their soul lamps.
In both visions was the figure of Lu Chuan.
The experts of the Penglai Immortal Domain were all astonished now.
“This kid actually killed three of our Penglai Immortal Domain’s Cultivators; could he hold a grudge against our domain?”
“With the sparse Spiritual Energy in the world nowadays, it is very difficult for new Cultivators to emerge.
Our Penglai Immortal Domain’s Cultivators are dwindling—one less with each death.
This kid actually killed three of our members, it’s utterly malicious.
We cannot let him off easily!”
The old man in white gestured for everyone to be quiet and said flatly, “Although it is unclear why this person has killed three of our Penglai Immortal Domain’s Cultivators, regardless, the loss of three members is a great detriment to our domain.
This matter cannot be overlooked, and the child must not be easily forgiven.
Otherwise, people in the secular world will no longer revere our Penglai Immortal Domain, and anyone will dare to provoke us in the future.”
“Furthermore, this individual has mastered the power to kill a Cultivator of Danyang’s caliber at such a young age.
He must possess a great secret.
I have gathered you here today to discuss capturing him alive and bringing him back to our Penglai Immortal Domain.
While making him pay the price, we shall also probe the secrets he holds.”
“The youth is formidable, and capturing him alive will not be easy; so I intend to dispatch three Grade 7 Nascent Soul Realm experts to the secular world to apprehend this youngster.
Does anyone wish to volunteer?”
Several Cultivators who had reached the Grade 7 Nascent Soul Realm immediately volunteered, eager to capture this ignorant youth.
The old man in white glanced at them, then announced, “Seven Kills, Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, you three have a deep relationship with Taoist Priest Danyang, and your strengths are outstanding within the Grade 7 Nascent Soul Realm.
Together, you have the power to traverse the entire secular world.
The task of capturing this youngster will be entrusted to you three.”
Seven Kills, Voracious Wolf, and Army Destroyer immediately cupped their hands towards the old man in white, saying in unison, “Yes!”
In a city near the mountain range in Lingnan.
Lu Chuan, accompanied by Lu Qingshuang, arrived at a five-star hotel and opened a presidential suite.
Having just experienced a brush with death, they were both somewhat exhausted physically and mentally and needed a good rest.
The first thing Lu Qingshuang, who had survived the ordeal and left Worries Forgetting Valley, wanted to do was to drink several cups of milk tea and take a hot bath.
Before coming to the hotel, they had already stopped by a milk tea shop and brought back five cups of milk tea.
Lu Qingshuang drank three cups in a row before heading for a bath.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, examining the purple gourd he had obtained from Taoist Priest Danyang.
His gains from the trip to the Worries Forgetting Valley were substantial; not only did he acquire one of the ten Origin Divine Fires, the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, but he also obtained a four-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine, which could be directly used to refine a Meridian Protecting Pill.
All he needed now was the Extreme Yin Water, and then he could attempt to consume the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.
By then, he would not only control two kinds of Origin Divine Fire, but his realm would also surely greatly advance from absorbing the Divine Fire.
