Chapter 103 News of Lu Chen's Death
Chapter 103 News of Lu Chen's Death
It was unknown how long it had been before Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he felt a pain in his body and it felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.
Thinking of the powerful true energy released by the phantom before, Lu Chen still feels a lingering fear.
"Hehe...at least you're not dead, at least you're not dead... cough... cough cough..." Lu Chen murmured. Because of his emotional fluctuations, his injured lungs were affected and he coughed up blood several times in succession.
The Sky Blade Mantis had already sensed it when Lu Chen opened his eyes. It looked at Lu Chen with surprise and made strange noises from its mouth, as if cheering.
After recovering, Lu Chen tried his spiritual sense and saw that he could still use it. He quickly covered the body of the Sky Blade Mantis with his spiritual sense. The next second, the man and the beast disappeared on the spot.
After returning to the Golden Pearl World, Lu Chen felt full of security. However, because his injuries were too serious, Lu Chen still lay flat on the ground.
"Quack...quack..." The gold-eating toad flashed forward, with a fly-sized ancient mythical beast Pixiu lying on its head. Seeing the miserable appearance of their master, the two beasts' eyes were filled with worry.
Lu Chen checked himself with his spiritual sense and was shocked to see his body full of cracks. If it weren't for the body refining spiritual realm, his body would not be able to withstand such a powerful true energy. He once again sighed in his heart at the power of the body refining technique.
Lu Chen's mind moved, and he appeared directly under the bitter bamboo in the next second. The Chaos Dao Sheng Jue in his body started to operate and he began to recover from his injuries.
Time always passes by inadvertently, and the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue once again demonstrated its power. After a day of recovery, although he had not fully recovered, the cracked wounds on the surface had healed.
During this period, Lu Chen also went out specially to take the storage bags of Lei Gongzi and Tian Wei back to the Golden Pearl World.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After Lu Chen buried 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones under the bitter bamboo, he became a pauper again.
My injuries haven't fully recovered yet. If I don't absorb spirit stones, I don't know when I can recover to my best condition.
The two fusion-stage cultivators from the Central Plains did not disappoint Lu Chen. The total amount of things in their storage bags were about 70,000 to 80,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
Then Lu Chen sat cross-legged under the bitter bamboo again and began to recover from his injuries.
Outside Zhongba City, although the Endless Forest Trial was still a few days away from ending, at this time, there were already cultivators coming out of the Endless Forest from time to time, some displaying their skills, and some flying on swords.
This kind of thing is not surprising. Just like in any large-scale exam, there will always be people who hand in their papers early and leave the exam room.
If they are disciples of the seven major sects, they will go directly back to their own camps. There will naturally be special monks in the camps to receive them and do the work of handing over the resources.
If they are independent cultivators or children of aristocratic families, they will come to the temporary purchasing points set up by various chambers of commerce, large and small, and choose their favorite chamber of commerce to sell their resources.
The monks who came back alive all had one thing in common: everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.
A few more days passed, and there were only three days left before the formation signal tower was shut down. During these days, more and more monks returned.
Among them, there was a small team that used their skills to quickly appear at the edge of the endless forest. When their feet stepped firmly on the grassland, several people stopped, smiled with joy, and stopped to look back at the boundless forest.
This team was Yang Yunfei and others. In order to take care of Zhong Tao and Gu Feng in the team, they gave up flying with swords.
"Seniors! Thank you for saving our lives, otherwise we would never be able to come back." Gu Feng bowed respectfully.
"Yes! I am also very grateful to the seniors for their help, otherwise Gu Feng and I would be really finished." Zhong Tao also said respectfully.
When they saw the vast grasslands of Western Tibet Prefecture, Zhong Tao and Gu Feng's hearts finally settled down. They expressed gratitude to Yang Yunfei and others for their help. Without their guidance, they would definitely not be able to get out of the endless forest.
"Haha... I've already said that we are all friends, why do you have to be so polite?" Yang Yunfei smiled faintly, and others began to agree.
Because of Lu Chen, Yang Yunfei and the others did not act like seniors along the way and were quite caring towards the two of them.
"Haha... let's not talk about this anymore. I decided to wait for Lu Chen to come back. We must give him a good meal." Qi Yutang said with a smile.
"This is a good idea, I agree. Zhong Tao, Gu Feng, you should follow us to Zhongba City, so that you can meet up with Lu Chen." Zhao Chengzhi said.
"Yes! I guess Lu Chen would be very surprised and surprised if he saw you." Yang Yunfei said.
"Well...we both have to go back to the sect to report first. If the elders agree, I will come to find you then!" Gu Feng hesitated for a moment, his face a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Zhong Tao meaningfully.
Gu Feng thought that he and Zhong Tao had not seen Lu Chen for many years. Now Lu Chen is already a senior in the middle stage of foundation building. He didn't know whether he would still recognize him and Zhong Tao. Even if he didn't, it was human nature.
"Yes! As a disciple of the Seventh Sect, the sect does have a rule that returning disciples must report back to the sect camp, so we have to go back to the sect first. I hope the seniors will understand." Zhong Tao naturally understood what Gu Feng meant. He is not stupid, he just has a carefree personality.
Both of them are veterans in the world of cultivation. They are used to seeing the fickleness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world, so they can naturally understand these things.
"Okay then! We are at the Food Immortal in Dongcheng District. If your elders allow, please come here to find us. Lu Chen will also go there to meet us then." Yang Yunfei said with a smile.
Zhong Tao and Gu Feng agreed with a smile. After they parted ways with Yang Yunfei and others, they looked at each other and revealed bitter smiles.
Three days passed in a flash. As the formation signal tower hummed again, the faint light on the top of the tower dissipated, indicating that the formation signal tower had stopped working.
It also means that this Endless Forest Trial has come to a successful conclusion.
The monks who can come back will basically plan their time to come back on time. For the monks who have not returned yet, it can only be regretted that they have died.
The most important follow-up task for the seven major sects is to publish the list of fallen monks through the formation.
This data will be hung in the square at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongba City for three days so that family members or friends participating in the trial can get accurate information.
In a private room on the third floor of Shiweixian Restaurant in Dongcheng District, Zhao Chengzhi and Qi Yutang hurriedly ran back from the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Everyone! An unfortunate thing has happened. Lu Chen... Lu Chen should have died." Zhao Chengzhi said with a gloomy expression.
"What? How is it possible?" Wang Jingxuan screamed. The other people were also surprised when they heard it. The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The Endless Forest Trial has ended. Yang Yunfei and others had originally agreed with Lu Chen to meet up at the Food Immortal in East City District, but Lu Chen has not returned for a long time, and several people have vague guesses in their hearts.
So Zhao Chengzhi took the initiative to check the published list of fallen monks, and sure enough, Lu Chen's name was on the list.
