SWNOVELXO Chapter 1297: Why Aren't You Running Anymore?
Lu Chen looked at the two women and said, "It seems we've been targeted by the Blood Eagle Hall."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women instantly released their Immortal Aura, becoming alert.
Lu Chen said, "Sisters, don't be nervous. They just scouted the City Lord's Mansion, probably to confirm whether I've left Sky Wolf City or not."
"Sky Wolf City is too close to the Chiyan Sect; they wouldn't dare make a move here."
Xiao Xueying said worriedly, "Then what should we do now? The other side has probably already set up a Formation, and we can't send messages out."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Let's take the initiative to leave Sky Wolf City and lure them out."
Upon hearing this, the two women were taken aback. Cao Shiyun quickly said, "Junior Brother, you can't. We don't know their strength. If they're very powerful, and we leave Sky Wolf City, no one can save us. Wouldn't we be doomed?"
Given they don't even dare to act in Sky Wolf City, it proves the opponent is very strong. Once they act, they might be detected by the experts of the Chiyan Sect.
Cao Shiyun guessed that their strength was at least above a Golden Immortal, as the Golden Immortal that attempted to assassinate Lu Chen last time failed. They wouldn't send someone weaker than a Golden Immortal.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Sister, have you forgotten the Life-saving Treasure left by my Honored Master?"
This...
Cao Shiyun realized, right, Chen Lu is the Hall Master's Direct Disciple. Last time, he easily killed that Golden Immortal in Black Stone Valley. Sourced directly from MV6LEMP6YR.
The means left by the Hall Master for Chen Lu should be able to resist an Immortal King level expert. However, why would an Immortal King personally target Chen Lu?
An existence like an Immortal King, even revealing a trace of aura, would be detected by the Hall Master who is in seclusion.
Since it wasn't an Immortal King coming, and Lu Chen had the means to resist an Immortal King's attack, there was indeed nothing to worry about.
Cao Shiyun then recalled what Xiao Xueying had said earlier, that Chen Lu might be the future Young Hall Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Considering how much the Hall Master valued Chen Lu, it's likely that he possesses more than one Life-saving Treasure.
Thinking of this, Cao Shiyun said, "Alright then, we'll do as you say, Junior Brother."
Lu Chen then said, "Alright, let's head to Black Stone Valley again."
To others, Black Stone Valley was a good place for killing, and the same applied to Lu Chen. Just as well, he still had one use of the Immortal King's Remain Curse left.
Lu Chen immediately left Sky Wolf City with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun. After Lu Chen left Sky Wolf City, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao smirked inwardly, thinking that it seemed the opponent discovered his presence and intended to flee.
Fools!
If they stayed in Sky Wolf City, he couldn't make a move. If he did, it would attract the people of the Chiyan Sect, but if they left Sky Wolf City, he had nothing to worry about.
Immortal Monarch Tianxiao wasted no time, directly pursuing the direction Lu Chen and the others went.
Lu Chen controlled the Immortal Ship and headed toward Black Stone Valley at the fastest speed.
Seeing the speed of Lu Chen's Immortal Ship, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao was even more convinced of his suspicion, believing that Lu Chen and his companions discovered him and wanted to flee back to the Mysterious Moon Palace.
However, he was an Immortal Monarch; no matter how fast their Immortal Ship was, it couldn't be as fast as him.
After a day, Lu Chen's Immortal Ship stopped over Black Stone Valley.
Immortal Monarch Tianxiao released his Divine Thought. Now that he left Sky Wolf City, his courage grew.
When Immortal Monarch Tianxiao saw Lu Chen's Immortal Ship stop, he was puzzled. Why weren't these three running?
This made Immortal Monarch Tianxiao wary, so he carefully probed Black Stone Valley with his Divine Thought and found a Formation below. Laughing coldly, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao realized they wanted to use the Formation against him.
At this moment, Cao Shiyun, seeing Lu Chen setting up the Formation, confusedly asked, "Junior Brother, can your Formation trap that guy?"
The Formation Lu Chen was setting up was just a low-tier Formation that couldn't even trap a Golden Immortal, let alone a Heavenly Immortal.
Lu Chen said, "I'm doing this to make him let down his guard."
If they kept running and did nothing, the opponent might suspect there was some conspiracy.
He's deliberately setting up a Formation so when the opponent detects he's setting up a Formation, they'll think to use it to trap him, thus letting their guard down.
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the three of them sensed a terrifying aura approaching not far away, and Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying's expressions changed drastically.
This aura...
At least at Immortal Monarch level!
However, when they remembered Lu Chen had the Life-saving Treasure from the Hall Master, they relaxed a bit.
The next moment, a red-haired man in a Blood Robe, revealing his chest, appeared overhead in Black Stone Valley, coldly smiling at Lu Chen and saying, "Why aren't you running?"
Without hesitation, Lu Chen shouted, "Formation, rise!"
The next moment, a blue Array Barrier enveloped Immortal Monarch Tianxiao. Seeing this Formation, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao laughed heartily, "Do you really think this Formation can stop me?"
Tianxiao thought Lu Chen was trying to use the Formation to stall him for time to escape, not realizing Lu Chen activated it casually, with no intention to invest much time in him.
Lu Chen's lips curled slightly upward; he had no intention of wasting time on Immortal Monarch Tianxiao.
He activated the Immortal King's Remain Curse, and immediately, a force at the Immortal King level surged into Lu Chen's body.
The skies turned overcast, and Thunderbolt flashed within the clouds, as Lu Chen's body released an immense pressure.
Feeling the aura from Lu Chen, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao's smile froze instantly.
"Im... Immortal King!!!"
Realizing he had been tricked, yet feeling that Lu Chen did not own this Immortal King's Power, he regained composure and said, "Even if you possess this power, so what? Let's see how capable the Hall Master's Direct Disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace really is!"
Speaking, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao directly deployed his Evil Cultivation, blood Qi scattering around him.
Although earlier he was startled by the Immortal King presence from Lu Chen, after regaining his senses, he presumed that even if a real Immortal King showed up, he had a fighting chance given his Evil Cultivation.
Moreover, the Immortal King's Power wasn't stable or inherent to Lu Chen, so what was there to fear?
With this thought, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao immediately activated his Evil Cultivation.
Netherworld Demon Killing Palm!!!
Immortal Monarch Tianxiao struck, and a gigantic hand formed from Demonic Qi descended from the sky toward Lu Chen and the others.
Seeing this, Lu Chen decisively employed the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture. Since his opponent was using Evil Cultivation, the scripture was perfect for suppressing him.
