364: The Wrath of Jindan Zhenren

Under the shroud of that large expanse of pale blue light, Shangguan Qianxue did not notice a white figure flash past Zhou Luo's side.

She only saw Qi Chuan suddenly freeze in place, and then he was easily killed.

Although this scene was peculiar, since the other party had revealed so many methods, she was somewhat accustomed to it.

After successfully killing Qi Chuan, Zhou Luo came before the corpse, raised his hand, and pocketed the storage ring on his body, showing no intention of giving any part to Shangguan Qianxue.

This action made Shangguan Qianxue slightly displeased. She stepped forward, retrieved her spiritual beast, and said in a deep voice, "Are you not going to show any indication?"

She had taken such a great risk to help the other party, yet they didn't want to give anything in return. How could this not make one angry?

"Need an indication?" Zhou Luo counter-questioned.

He turned to look at her, his calm face showing no emotion.

"What do you mean?" Shangguan Qianxue frowned slightly.

"When you were being pursued by the Joyful Union Sect back then, have you forgotten who helped you escape? This is just repaying the debt from back then," Zhou Luo said leisurely, then calmly and composedly walked towards the sole entrance.

The formation here had already been completely annihilated and rendered ineffective by the terrifying aftermath of the battle just now.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue striking Shangguan Qianxue.

She froze in place, her beautiful eyes bewildered, gazing at that tall and straight figure, a storm raging in her heart.

That Array Master who saved her back then was him?

In an instant, Shangguan Qianxue's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and she was lost in thought for a long time.

Back then, after she left those three islands, she was ambushed by others and only managed to escape with great difficulty after expending immense effort.

She didn't expect to encounter an Evil Cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect later.

In despair, if not for an Array Master suddenly appearing to block the opponent for her, she would have likely died in that Magic Forest.

However, she never expected that the Array Master from back then was Zhou Luo.

Isn't he an Alchemist?

At this moment, Shangguan Qianxue suddenly recalled the rumor that had spread widely ten years ago.

It said that Zhou Luo possessed great fortune and received help from at least a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, obtaining an Immortal destiny, which was why he successfully established Foundation Establishment with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root and became a Second-Order Alchemist.

Looking at it now, perhaps when he entered the Magic Forest back then, he had already met that Senior and gained some abilities.

Shangguan Qianxue could only think this way.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the other party was both an Alchemist and an Array Master.

In the vast world, there is nothing strange.

No matter what happens, there will always be an explanation.

Zhou Luo thought the same way, so he chose to reveal this matter, which also conveniently settled some Karma with the other party.

Moreover, with this layer of restraint, if the other party wanted to take advantage of the situation, they would have to weigh whether they could pass their own conscience test.

He knew very well that Shangguan Qianxue cultivated the Righteous Path of light. Since it was the Righteous Path, she would absolutely not do anything to harm her savior.

Because doing so would plant a demonic obstacle in her heart.

When she broke through in the future, it would bring a huge hidden danger.

What Immortals fear most is going against their original intention and doing things that create demonic obstacles within themselves.

Those Immortals who fell from the Righteous Path to become Evil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivator were basically forced into it.

However, those who were born as Evil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivator would not be affected.

...

Crimson Light Sect.

Inside a magnificent and resplendent palace.

An Old Man with an aged face, white hair, but vigorous spirit suddenly opened his eyes. Feeling something, he flipped his right hand.

A life-bound jade token appeared in his wrinkled palm.

As soon as the jade token appeared, it suddenly cracked with a ' Snap' sound and completely shattered, splitting into two halves.

"Chuan'er!"

He fiercely clenched his right hand, and the jade token turned into dust. With disbelief in his eyes, he let out a mournful roar.

"Who, who killed my grandson!"

The Old Man's aura erupted, and the terrifying power of a Golden Core True Person raged wildly. The entire palace shook violently because of this.

The servants attending in the palace immediately fell to their knees with a ' thump' sound, trembling.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body shot out, transforming into a long rainbow, heading straight towards the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

The Old Man's speed was extremely fast, and as a Golden Core True Person, with his overwhelming might, he left the Crimson Light Sect in the blink of an eye.

...

Zhou Luo was still unaware of the situation outside. At this moment, after passing through the passage, he descended into a narrower Space and encountered the ambush methods that the Golden Core True Person had prepared long ago.

Having just gone through a battle, he retreated to the side.

Shangguan Qianxue understood tacitly, stepped forward, and cleared the obstacles for him.

A quarter of an hour later, the dangers in this Space were successfully cleared.

"Although you saved me back then, this Karma is now over."

Shangguan Qianxue put away her treasured sword and looked at Zhou Luo's deep eyes, saying seriously.

"Killing Qi Chuan wasn't me asking you to do it, was it?" Zhou Luo said pointedly.

Although he didn't know why the other party chose to help him at that time, the matter itself had nothing to do with the fact that he had saved the other party before.

So, from a certain perspective, the other party still hadn't repaid his life-saving grace.

Shangguan Qianxue's beautiful eyes darkened, and she lowered her voice, "What else do you want?"

"I just went through a major battle, so the dangers ahead will all have to be handled by you," Zhou Luo stated his purpose.

Shangguan Qianxue gave him a deep look, said nothing, and simply walked towards the passage.

On the other side, Song Zhan and Long Yunshuang also sensed something unusual.

After all, the fluctuations generated by that battle were too great.

"I'm going over there," Song Zhan said coldly.

The strong power fluctuations were coming from the direction where his Senior Sister was, and he was worried that she might have encountered something bad.

Long Yunshuang's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at the passage ahead, saying very forcefully, "No, since there's no message from their side, we must continue forward."

Currently, they were not far apart, and since the other party hadn't sent out a request for help, they should be fine.

The top priority now was to find the Spiritual Artifact, and as she went deeper, she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the Golden Core True Person's true tomb, so she didn't intend to give up.

Hearing this, Song Zhan frowned.

He said coldly, "I am from the Azure Origin Sect, you should listen to me."

All along the way, the other party had maintained an arrogant posture, which had already made him quite unhappy.

After all, he was also a Disciple of an Immortal Sect, and was even about to become a Sect Elder, yet he was ignored by the other party, which was simply unreasonable.

He was extremely assertive, looking at the other party with a posture that indicated he would leave immediately if she didn't agree.

Facing this situation, Long Yunshuang said faintly, "Is the Azure Origin Sect very powerful? Do you know my name?"

"I don't care what your name is," Song Zhan shouted sharply.

"My surname is Long!"

But the next second, when Long Yunshuang calmly spoke this surname, Song Zhan suddenly froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
