Chapter 2172: Chapter 797: Five Sects Beyond the Heavens, Nourishing Spirit Veins (Part 2)
Like a snake or a python, towering head and horns!
The Chi Dragon Sword at his waist buzzed, emanating an instinctive dread.
This Chi Dragon Sword is different from common magic items, made by a rather unconventional method of incorporating a demon spirit, wielding considerable power.
The only reason the sword spirit of the Chi Dragon Sword is so wary is because the other party is likely from the dragon species, and an even higher existence!
What does that imply?
A Fourth-Order Dragon Species Demon Emperor!
And a powerful Demon Emperor who can walk openly in the Fenghua District!
Li Yingzhang’s expression was serious, "May I ask, the four of you seek the Supreme Elder of our sect for what purpose?"
Tian Xuan avoided answering.
A year ago, when Luo Chen left alone, he specifically reminded them to be cautious!
Even now that they had arrived at the Luo Tian Sect, until seeing Luo Chen’s true body, she still adhered to a policy of speaking and acting sparingly.
Unless someone or something worthy of her trust appears.
Seeing these people not speaking, Li Yingzhang frowned deeply.
Footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Little Black, perched on Zhang Jingqing’s shoulder, suddenly raised its head.
"It’s the master!"
"No, wait!"
At the hall entrance, Sima Huiniang hurried inside under Zeng Yilong’s guidance.
With just one glance, her eyes landed on Tian Xuan.
"Such a proud person!"
Sima Huiniang silently praised in her heart, then spoke gracefully, "I am the Dao Companion Cultivator of the Supreme Elder of Luo Tian Sect. My husband is currently in closed-door pill refinement and is not available to meet outsiders. If you have matters, you may tell me."
Tian Xuan examined her carefully, uncertain, and looked towards Little Black.
Little Black nodded solemnly, "She carries a very strong master’s scent, almost identical to the source blood master used to save me back then."
Having received confirmation, Tian Xuan hesitated no longer.
As the others were in shock, she bowed in respect.
"Tian Xuan, greets Mistress!"
Not only her, Little Black also leapt down to the ground with a whoosh, revealing its true form before the stunned crowd.
A black giant dragon coiling into a small mountain, nodding and bowing ingratiatingly to Sima Huiniang.
"Little Black greets Mistress!"
Sang Jinghe and Zhang Jingqing also expressed their greetings afterward, but no one noticed.
Indeed, Little Black’s massive size nearly filled the entire hall, making it extremely startling.
Sima Huiniang was caught off guard.
Her husband had never mentioned such matters!
She initially thought it might be some romantic entanglement of her husband’s come knocking.
But looking now, a figure nearing the late Golden Core stage, a Fourth-Order Demon Emperor, both called her husband "master."
It truly was a bit unbelievable.
What exactly had her husband experienced in his hundred years outside?
While everyone was still in shock, a voice of admonishment was heard.
"Show-off, retract your true form."
Little Black’s eyes brightened, and as the clouds trembled, it quickly shrank and turned into a stream of light rushing outside the hall.
Everyone turned to see, Luo Chen stepping in.
"Master!"
"Supreme Elder!"
"Husband!"
Luo Chen nodded, allowing Little Black to coil around his right arm, his eyes looking at Tian Xuan and the others.
"How did you come so quickly, weren’t you supposed to take about two years?"
Tian Xuan stood up and respectfully said, "It was Senior Gu, the Tianyuan Business Alliance intends to settle in Lingtian Pass. He personally came to negotiate and brought us along en route."
Luo Chen’s eyes flickered.
Gu Zuokai?
With the speed of a Nascent Soul True Master, bringing a few people along leisurely would be ample to reach Fenghua District in a year.
"Where is he now?"
"He left us in Fenghua District, went to Lingtian Pass to meet the Lingtian City Lord. He said when he has time, he will pay a visit to you, the master."
Luo Chen nodded.
As the Great Elder of the Tianyuan Merchant in the Eastern Wasteland, Gu Zuokai certainly wouldn’t be content to remain in the East Sun Domain.
The Lingtian Pass now stands at the forefront of the demon clan’s offensive against the Eastern Wasteland, the risks are greatest, but the interests are certainly large, he will naturally take this route.
Beside him, Sima Huiniang curiously asked, "Husband, who are they?"
Luo Chen smiled and introduced them to Huiniang and Li Yingzhang.
"Tian Xuan, whose true form is the demon beast Tianxuan Fighting Bird."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two were visibly changed.
Transforming Demon Emperor!
Tian Xuan realized their thoughts, and quickly waved her hands.
"I am not that formidable, just transformed early with the master’s help, that’s all."
So that’s how it is.
But even so, Sima Huiniang and the other two were repeatedly amazed.
The husband/Supreme Elder actually had such heaven-reaching means, able to transform a Third Order Demon Beast early.
Luo Chen did not explain much, and continued, "In those years at the North Sea, Tian Xuan was always by my side, handling various affairs for me, possessing rich experience. Yingzhang!"
"Present!"
"I entrust Tian Xuan to you, guide her to become familiar with the situation of Luo Tian Sect and the Five Domains of Lingtian. Thereafter, she will assist you in managing Luo Tian Sect, and for specific arrangements, you decide."
Li Yingzhang looked at Tian Xuan.
The latter smiled gracefully, "I’ll be in your care, Sect Leader Li."
Luo Chen continued to introduce, "Sang Jinghe, Zhang Jingqing, descendants of old acquaintances. Jinghe is proficient in spirit plant cultivation, Yingzhang, arrange it well."
Li Yingzhang’s eyes lit up, a Golden Core period Spirit Plant Cultivator!
"As for Xiaoqing..." Luo Chen thought for a moment, looking at the young woman, "Would you join my Luo Tian Sect?"
Zhang Jingqing did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down.
"I shall adhere to the True Master’s command!"
Sima Huiniang stood quietly observing this scene from the side, her face full of relief.
Since her husband’s return, the Luo Tian Sect had become increasingly prosperous.
Not only were the hearts within the sect stable, but external relations were also widely expanded, now even adding a few more generals.
Even Zhang Jingqing, who seemed unremarkable, possessed a sense of steadiness, far from being a delicate weak girl.
