Chapter 1076: The Approaching Crisis
Chapter 1076: The Approaching Crisis
Li Yue just took a look at the 'Qian Kun Yu Ji Plate' in Lu Chen's hand, and suddenly felt a bit amused.
You know, the difficulty of repairing a top-grade immortal weapon can be imagined.
Not to mention that the materials needed are rare and expensive, the refiner who can repair the best immortal weapon must be at least a Taoist weapon refiner.
Such people are often the top figures in major sects or hidden families, and they will not show up easily.
Not to mention being willing to help a little-known monk.
However, Liyue did not state these difficulties directly in order not to dampen Lu Chen's enthusiasm.
She knew Lu Chen's personality very well. The more difficult the task was, the more likely he would face it head-on.
So she just laughed softly:
"Lu Chen, you are asking for trouble. However, since you have already bought it, just leave it alone.
If we come across the right refining materials, we might have a chance to repair it."
Lu Chen smiled slightly when he heard this. He naturally understood what Li Yue meant.
However, he did not say that he was also an equipment refiner. With the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, repairing top-grade immortal equipment was no problem at all.
After that, the three of them strolled around for a while before heading to the Void Pier of Planxian City together...
What Lu Chen didn’t know was that in the distant Zixiao realm, in the Zixiao Palace.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn and depressing. Tao Ke was looking terrified and trembling slightly as he stood in front of a man in a luxurious purple robe, carefully reporting the relevant situation to him.
The man was tall and straight, with a handsome face and an aura of majesty that came from his intimidating presence. He was the lord of the famous Zixiao Realm - Murong Xiao.
At this time, Tao Ke's voice trembled slightly, and he seemed a little panicked:
“Your Excellency, although I and others strictly followed your orders, not only did we issue a wanted order for Lu Chen, but we also mobilized the Shadow Pavilion to hunt him down.
But unfortunately, we have not been able to capture Lu Chen so far. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Tao Ke fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to raise his head to look directly at Murong Xiao.
After hearing this, Murong Xiao's originally relaxed brows instantly frowned, forming two deep grooves, and a barely perceptible murderous intent quickly flashed in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly:
"Lu Chen? Humph, this boy is now making me feel more and more interesting. He is just a small cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but he was able to avoid your pursuit and successfully escape capture. It is really unbelievable!"
After saying this, Murong Xiao paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then continued:
"However, it seems that our methods are not harsh enough. Just now, a spy reported that Lu Chen's traces were found in Pulanxian City in Huoyun Tianyu."
Tao Ke was shocked when he heard this and immediately knelt down: "Palace Master, I am incompetent. Please punish me."
Murong Xiao waved his hand, signaling Tao Ke to stand up:
“Get up, Tao Ke, I won’t blame you for this failure.
But I need you to complete the next task in person. Bring the most elite forces of Zixiao Palace and bring Lu Chen back to me. Remember, I want him alive."
"Yes, Your Honor!"
Tao Ke responded respectfully upon hearing this, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
He knew that this mission was by no means easy. Lu Chen was obviously not an ordinary person, and he was accompanied by powerful monsters from the demon clan.
At this time, Murong Xiao stood up, slowly walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and said with unquestionable firmness in his tone:
"After this period of investigation, I have basically confirmed that Lu Chen is the person I am looking for. The secret hidden in him is of vital importance to me. No matter what, you must bring him back to Zixiao Palace."
Tao Ke felt the determination in Murong Xiao's words, and his heart became heavier.
He understood that this time, no matter what the cost, the mission must be completed.
Otherwise, what awaits him is not only the wrath of His Majesty, but also the pursuit of the entire Zixiao Palace...
As for Zhao Chengzhi, because he failed to catch up with Lu Chen and the others, he was about to approach the gathering place of human cultivators.
They were outnumbered and dared not go any further, so they had no choice but to order a retreat.
At the same time, Lu Chen and his party had arrived at the Void Wharf of Planxian City.
However, they were completely unaware that the people from Zixiao Palace had quietly locked their eyes on them.
Just as Lu Chen and the other two were approaching the door of the ticket hall at the Void Pier.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came:
"Brother Lu Chen, haha, I said you looked like me, I didn't expect it to be you!"
This sudden shout made Lu Chen shudder all over. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
They saw a tall and straight middle-aged monk in a dark red robe walking hurriedly towards them with big strides.
After seeing the face of the person coming, Lu Chen instantly smiled with joy, and then he took two steps at a time and walked forward, saying:
"Brother Xia, what a coincidence. By the way, why are you here?"
It turned out that the man called Brother Xia was none other than Xia Chengan, who had a deep friendship with Lu Chen.
When Lu Chen and Yun Xi boarded the void ship and came to the Zixiao Realm from the Qingyun Realm.
In order to earn immortal crystals, Lu Chen set up a stall in the middle cabin. He got acquainted with Xia Chengan because of the Blood Condensing Pill, and later they became close friends regardless of age difference.
However, when getting off the boat, Lu Chen was trapped in the "Mountain and River Universe Bag" by Pei.
So I didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye to Xia Chengan and his two friends.
At this time, Xia Chengan had come close, patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"My dear friend Lu Chen, what happened at the Void Wharf in Yungang that caused the people from Zixiao Palace to come and arrest you?
At that time, Brother Ye and Brother Han were all very worried about your safety, but fortunately you are fine.
It's a rare opportunity for us to meet today. You must come to my Xia's house and have a visit. I will then invite Brother Ye and Brother Han along. They will definitely be very happy."
When Lu Chen heard this, his heart moved. He didn't expect Xia Chengan to be so enthusiastic.
I was thinking of finding an excuse to decline, but for a moment I didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, I was eager to leave.
So, Lu Chen turned his gaze to Li Yue and Yan Feiyu standing beside him.
Seeing this, Xia Chengan immediately understood Lu Chen's thoughts and immediately added:
"Friend Lu Chen, I guess you are here to buy tickets for the void ship,
I advise you not to go, because the wanted order of Zixiao Palace has not been cancelled.
If you go now, you will undoubtedly be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. It is better for you to stay at my Xia family for a while and then make a long-term plan."
Lu Chen's heart trembled. The wanted order from Zixiao Palace was indeed a thorny problem.
Li Yue, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this, and even Yan Feiyu's expression became solemn.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and realized that what Xia Chengan said made sense. It would be very dangerous to rashly go and buy tickets for the void ship.
So, he raised his head and said seriously, "Brother Xia, if that's the case, then we will bother the Xia family."
Xia Chengan was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. It is an honor for my Xia family that Mr. Lu Chen can come."
However, just as they were about to go to the Xia family, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out, saying, "It's you, Lu Chen. I really searched everywhere for you, but I didn't expect you to escape to this Fire Cloud Realm."
When Lu Chen heard this, his expression suddenly changed...
