SWNOVELXO Chapter 595: Unsolvable, Luo Changfeng Appears
Outside Qingshi City, amidst a dense forest.
A figure quietly appeared in this place—it was Luo Feng, who had previously left Qingshi City.
He stood in the forest, his gaze fixed on the abandoned ancient temple shrouded in black mist.
"That ancient temple is indeed strange," Luo Feng muttered to himself.
He could sense the black mist emanating from the temple, filled with an intensely potent death energy.
This death energy had a highly corrosive effect on the Qi-Blood Force of cultivators.
If measures weren't taken promptly, the entire Qingshi City would likely be engulfed by this death energy, leaving no one unharmed.
"It seems I must quickly find a way to break the formation," Luo Feng thought to himself.
He was well aware that this formation was no ordinary construct.
Breaking it would undoubtedly require some special means.
Just then, a figure suddenly approached from not far away.
Luo Feng immediately became vigilant, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.
The man was dressed entirely in black, his face stern, and his piercing gaze like lightning.
He stopped before Luo Feng and asked in a deep voice: "You must be Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng raised his brows slightly and replied, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Instead of answering, the man said directly, "I'm here to inform you: the formation in the temple was created by the people of Qingmu Divine State."
"The people of Qingmu Divine State?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise.
He hadn't expected the sinister formation to be connected to Qingmu Divine State.
"That's right." The man nodded and continued, "They intend to use the formation to devour Qingshi City's life force and strengthen their own power."
Anger surged in Luo Feng's heart upon hearing this.
The people of Qingmu Divine State were so ruthless, willing to sacrifice the lives of all in Qingshi City just to enhance their strength.
"Why would they do this?" Luo Feng asked solemnly.
In a low voice, the man replied, "Most likely to weaken the strength of your Luo Family in Qingshi City."
"Weaken the strength of my Luo Family?" Luo Feng's brows furrowed deeply, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
He knew the enemy they faced this time was far from ordinary.
If they didn't prepare carefully, the entirety of Qingshi City would likely face utter destruction.
"Thank you for sharing this information," Luo Feng clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "I will find a way to break the formation as soon as possible."
The man nodded without further words, turned, and left.
Luo Feng watched the figure's departure, his mind racing for strategies.
He understood that caution was paramount this time.
If Qingmu Divine State's scheme succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
...
Qingshi City's Luo Family, meeting hall.
Luo Ping was discussing countermeasures with several elders.
Suddenly, a clansman rushed in hurriedly, panting heavily as he reported, "Family Head, something terrible has happened—someone... someone has broken in!"
"What?" Luo Ping was taken aback by the news.
He hadn't expected anyone to dare trespass into the Luo Family at such a time.
"Quick, let's see what's going on!" Luo Ping immediately stood and led the elders out of the meeting hall.
Soon, they arrived in the outer courtyard of the Luo Family.
There, they saw a young man dressed in black standing, his icy gaze sweeping over the surrounding Luo Family members.
"Who are you to dare trespass into the ancestral land of my Luo Family?" Luo Ping demanded sternly.
The black-clad youth heard this, turned around, and looked at Luo Ping and the others.
His eyes carried a sharp intensity, as if piercing through all illusions.
"I am from Qingmu Divine State, here to collect Qingshi City's life force," the black-clad youth said indifferently.
"Qingmu Divine State?" Luo Ping's heart sank at the revelation.
He hadn't expected the mysterious intruder to come from Qingmu Divine State.
Qingmu Divine State was situated on the borders of the Northern Desolate Divine Continent, a powerful land whose strength far exceeded that of Qingshi City's Luo Family.
"You dare to set such a wicked formation in Qingshi City, devouring its life force—you deserve death!" Luo Ping roared in fury.
The black-clad youth sneered contemptuously at this remark.
"Foolish ants like you think you can lecture Qingmu Divine State about justice and punishment? Let me be honest—this formation is merely a part of our plan. Once Qingshi City's life force is completely consumed, we will turn this place into a barren deadland, ensuring everyone here pays the ultimate price!"
Luo Ping was overcome with anger upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected the people of Qingmu Divine State to be this ruthless—not only consuming Qingshi City's life force but intending to turn it into a desolate wasteland.
"You vile Qingmu Divine State scoundrels—you have no conscience!" Luo Ping shouted furiously, "The Luo Family will never stand idly by; we will fight you to the death!"
"Fight to the death?" The black-clad youth sneered, "Do you insignificant insects think you can contend with Qingmu Divine State? What a ridiculous joke!"
With a wave of his hand, a powerful aura instantly erupted from him.
Luo Ping and the elders felt an immense pressure envelop them, as if a colossal mountain weighed upon their chests.
"This is bad—his strength is too overwhelming. We're no match for him!" an elder exclaimed in panic.
Luo Ping's expression turned grim as he gazed at the black-clad youth, realizing that the Luo Family was in grave danger this time.
