Not far away, Nangong Jin let out a surprised exclamation.
Luo Chen ignored him and looked down at Ke Yuelin.
“A Second Order Blast Ape cub, where did it come from?”
“It was purchased from a Rogue Cultivator in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range. The Nangong Family has a tradition of raising Demon Beast cubs, hoping to domesticate them into Spirit Beasts.”
“The Rogue Cultivator, who is he?”
“I don’t know, all I know is that his surname is… Li, and he’s at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement.”
Luo Chen furrowed his brows, surname Li?
Has such a high cultivation level.
Could it be a cultivator from the Li Family of the Great River District?
He continued to ask, “Why only sell it to Liu Qiang? As far as I know, he never has the habit of asking clan cultivators to buy demon beasts. Was it you who contacted him first?”
“Someone told me that the Luo Tian Creed has been buying First Order Demon Beasts in large quantities, and they want them alive. So, I went for the highest price…”
“Who told you that?”
Ke Yuelin, who was lying on the ground, struggled for a moment.
He opened his mouth, but what he spat out was a deflection.
“What merits and abilities does Luo Chen have? Both revered by Mi Shuhua and favored by the Yu Ding Foundation Establishment… I can’t accept it. He’s just a lucky kid, and everyone is trying to flatter him.”
“What Luo Tian Creed’s master? Clearly, they’re just a bunch of homeless dogs huddling together for warmth.”
“Whimper…”
“I’m the homeless dog. I’m despised by everyone.”
“The Nangong Family, a group of wolves in sheep’s clothing. I manage the Beast Field for them, yet they stole my Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine.”
“If I get a chance, I will certainly…”
Luo Chen’s face darkened.
Without even turning his head, he could see, from the corner of his eye, Nangong Jin’s sullen face not far away.
He didn’t want to hear any more of this nonsense.
Green light surged in Luo Chen’s eyes again.
It seemed as if a faint phantom was appearing and disappearing above Ke Yuelin’shead.
Controlled the intensity of the Divine Intimidation Technique, only using it for intimidation.
Luo Chen asked in a deep voice, “Tell me, who exactly told you that the Luo Tian Creed is buying demon beasts?”
“It was… Duan… Puke!”
A mouthful of fresh blood was spewed out in front of him.
Ke Yuelin’s pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes almost popped out.
A vein bulged on his forehead, and his mouth was wide open.
Both of his hands tightly covered his neck, falling silent.
Avoiding the fresh blood, Luo Chen rose with a gloomy face.
Ke Yuelin, was dead!
“Friend, what a skill!”
From young friend to friend?
Luo Chen pulled the corners of his mouth, “It’s nothing mote than a tiny utilization of the Divine Soul. It’s not enough to be seriously regarded.”
Indeed, it is just a tiny utilization.
Nowadays, Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment far surpasses that of a rogue cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage, and is comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.
The Soul Absorption Technique itself has the effect of intimidating the enemy.
Utilizing the Spirit Vision Technique Finalization as a vehicle to release it, Ke Yuelin was in a completely defenseless state.
Thus, everything went according to his will.
Unfortunately, the other party’s Divine Soul was suddenly obliterated in the end, preventing him from obtaining more information.
Nangong Jin strode over and looked down at Ke Yuelin, whose eyes were wide open in death.
“He must have been manipulated by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. He could not reveal the truth, otherwise he would die on the spot from his Divine Soul exploding.”
“There are not many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Great River District!”
Nangong Jin paused and looked up.
He saw Luo Chen looking at him with a half-smile.
He let out a relaxed laugh, “Since I dared to bring him to meet you, I am naturally clear of conscience. Besides, you have just interrogated him. You should have some clue, right?”
“The Li family? Or the Duan family?”
Those were the only two surnames that Ke Yuelin had mentioned earlier.
Nangong Jin put away his smile and said seriously, “If it’s the Li Family, then it’s aimed at my Nangong Family. Our two families have feuds, as well as irreconcilable conflicts of interest.”
“Whether they use the Nangong Family to kill you or offend you, when the Yu Ding Sword Sect returns, it will not be good for my Nangong Family.”
“If it’s from the Duan family…”
Nangong Jin frowned, unable to think of any conflict between the Duan family and them for the moment.
After all, there had been a time when they were almost in-laws.
“There are one Duan family heir in our creed who bears grudges against the Duan family.” Luo Chen said faintly.
Nangong Jin hesitated, “So, are you saying that they are framing us? Using others to do their dirty work?”
Having said that, he shook his head again.
“But to do so would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Do true cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage use such methods to kill?”
“I still have the protective measures left by Elder Pang Renxiong. If I use a method that’s too conspicuous, it will draw criticism.”
Upon hearing these words, Nangong Jin pursed his lips subtly.
Looking at Ke Yuelin’s corpse, Luo Chen said to himself, “So the key question is who placed the Divine Soul Restriction on him…”
“Divine Soul Restriction is a profound technique. To my knowledge, the Duan Family is skilled at forging magic tools and proficient in array prohibition. The female cultivator from Li Family, who practices the Huayin Mantra, is also familiar with this technique.”
The truth was once again at a standstill.
Luo Chen and Nangong Jin looked at each other, and then they both burst into an understanding smile as if they were on the same wavelength.
“It doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”
“Right, what’s most important is that we abandon our previous grudges and cooperate sincerely.”
“What about the supply of Jade Marrow Pills?”
“As usual, I’ve brought fifty bottles.”
“Good! Good! Good!”
Having delivered the elixir, Luo Chen didn’t give a second glance at Ke Yuelin’s corpse and flew away on the spot.
After he left, a figure swiftly advanced from under the stone platform.
“Father, why do you have to be so polite to him?”
Nangong Qin was confused.
He admitted that Luo Chen indeed had extraordinary abilities, hence he had long since stopped looking down on him.
But as a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage, there was no need for his father to be so approachable, was there?
However, Nangong Jin, on the other hand, was cautiously staring off into the distance.
“Civility is, of course, due to strength.”
“Strength?”
Nangong Qin was puzzled.
He was incapable of releasing his spirit consciousness, hence he was unable to perceive the surrounding circumstances.
But Nangong Jin could easily sense that, a few miles away, there was a presence that wasn’t hiding the release of its own aura.
This aura in no way paled in comparison to a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage.
It must be one of the master hands of Luo Tian Creed’s Battle Hall.
“And also…”
Nangong Jin handed the storage bag to Nangong Qin.
“If we want to restore the Nangong family to its glorious heights, we can’t be short of elixirs. With these Jade Marrow Pills, those youngsters struggling at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement should be able to break through.”
Nangong Qin agreed rather readily, nodding his head.
The elixirs in The Great River District are becoming more and more difficult to purchase of late.
In the past, they could rely on the Lianyun Business Union and the Zhenlong Black Market.
But for some reason, the prices of elixirs from the Lianyun Business Union have been getting higher and higher recently.
The quantity of elixirs coming out of the Zhenlong Black Market is also getting smaller and smaller.
Not too long ago, the Luo Tian Creed stopped providing Jade Marrow Pills to the various Foundation Establishment forces.
This completely choked the Nangong clan.
In order to restore the supply of elixirs, father and son had to come out together this time.
“And this person?” Nangong Qin looked at Ke Yuelin’s corpse.
“He’s just a rogue cultivator who dared to hold a grudge against our Nangong family. His death was too easy.”
Nangong Jin laughed scornfully, casting a Fireball Technique.
The raging fire burned the remains. The once master of the Beast Hall for the Broken Mountain Gang, just like that, turned to ashes.
Brushing away the light ash, the patriarch of the Nangong family walked to the edge of the stone platform, his gaze far-reaching, watching the figure that vanished into the horizon.
“No wonder you said before that the pressure he gave you was no less than a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage.”
“This youngster’s inherent Divine Soul is so strong that, if he can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say his Spirit Consciousness can extend as far as five miles!”
“And his courage is impressive. Despite being in front of me, he still dared to argue. He indeed has qualities that are worth being regarded highly by the Golden Core Ascendant Master.”
A typical cultivator that establishes the Foundation, when first releasing Spirit Consciousness, covers roughly two miles.
Five miles is already twice as much as ordinary people.
Is Luo Chen’s inherent Divine Soul really so powerful?
Upon hearing the final high praise, Nangong Qin was even more startled.
The fact that Luo Chen was valued by the Golden Core Ascendant Master of the Yu Ding Sword Sect and given a token, was a well-known fact among the major forces of The Great River District.
It seems that it’s not a false rumor at all.
“Qin’er, in the future, you should spend more time with this person.”
“But father, we and that Qin Liangchen…”
“Some things, if you can take it, should also be put down. He killed many of our clan cultivators, but didn’t he also pay a price?”
Nangong Qin sighed, “We need allies, anally who’snot so strong, but valuable enough!”
“But didn’t you say, create a diversion and mislead the enemy?”
“Hehe, that would depend on whether they can prove their worth.”
