Chapter 432: Shocking Conspiracy
Chapter 432: Shocking Conspiracy
"Brother Lu!" Seeing Lu Chen staring at the grave in a daze, Song Wanting called out worriedly, her tone full of concern.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Song Wanting gratefully and said:
"I'm fine. The Tianyin Mountain Secret Realm will soon be closed. I plan to find a random place to consolidate my cultivation. What about you?
Will you continue searching for resources, or will you come with me?"
"Of course I'll go with you, Brother Lu. Anyway, we don't have much time, and I don't want to take any more risks."
Song Wanting laughed, obviously frightened by the old man before.
After hearing this, Xiahou Sheng expressed his gratitude to Lu Chen again, and then said that he had something else to do and had to leave first. He would invite Lu Chen to have a drink when there was a chance in the future.
However, Lu Chen stopped Xiahou Sheng at the right time and said that he had something important to tell him.
In this way, Lu Chen took Xiahou Sheng and Song Wanting, found a random mountain, and opened up a cave the size of a living room on the mountainside, and the three of them sat cross-legged.
On the surface, Song Wanting was concentrating on practicing with her eyes closed, but in fact, she was absent-minded.
After all, being in the same room with two grown men, she felt a little nervous and secretly looked at Lu Chen from time to time.
However, seeing that Lu Chen had a serious expression on his face, she thought that Lu Chen was really practicing, and she didn't want to disturb him, so she could only watch Lu Chen and let his thoughts run wild.
In fact, Lu Chen was not practicing either. He was using his spiritual sense to communicate secretly with Xiahou Sheng.
When initially asked about his purpose of coming to the Central Plains, Xiahou Sheng stammered and made up a good reason.
Lu Chen was too lazy to waste time talking to him, so he just pointed out the truth and said that he had the information he wanted.
Xiahou Sheng then confessed that his real purpose for coming to the Central Plains was basically the same as Elder Qiu's.
They are all people who are lurking to gather information, but Elder Qiu is responsible for transmitting information.
So Lu Chen told Xiahou Sheng all the information he knew.
"Lu Chen! Are you serious? This is a serious matter. How did you get this news?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Sheng was also shocked and asked through telepathy.
After hearing this, Lu Chen briefly explained the matter of Elder Qiu and handed the information jade slip to Xiahou Sheng.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Xiahou Sheng immediately angrily transmitted his spiritual consciousness:
"Damn Tianyuan Pavilion, damn the ten nine-star sects in the Central Plains, Lu Chen! Thank you so much for your trust,
You actually gave me such important information. I must hurry back to Southern Xinjiang and bring back the news without delay."
After saying this, Xiahou Sheng was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Chen.
Only then did Xiahou Sheng realize that they were still in the secret realm of Tianyin Mountain.
The reason why Xiahou Sheng was so anxious was that according to the investigation of Elder Qiu and others, they discovered a shocking conspiracy.
And this shocking conspiracy is related to the Wuwang Sea Trial hosted by the ten nine-star sects in the Central Plains.
It not only involves the ten nine-star sects in the Central Plains, but also is related to countless noble families and the number one underworld organization, Tianyuan Pavilion.
Previously, the Yahang was rampant in southern Xinjiang, but was later wiped out by the joint efforts of the seven major sects.
But this does not mean that the Yahang will be eliminated in the Central Plains and the Northern Territory.
It’s just that because of the incident in southern Xinjiang, the pawnbrokers learned a lesson and are no longer as rampant as before.
So what does Yahang have to do with the Hopeless Sea Trial?
According to Elder Qiu's jade slip, the Southern Border and Northern Territory delegations suffered the heaviest casualties during the Hopeless Sea Trial.
This is because the Tianyuan Pavilion is behind the scenes, using various means to bring the trial monks to the territory of sea beasts in exchange for huge amounts of resources.
As we all know, the Hopeless Sea is not only mysterious and vast, but also a natural treasure trove of resources. The deep sea bottom is rich in spiritual stone veins, spiritual herbs, rare refining materials and other resources.
However, human monks dare not easily set foot in the Hopeless Sea, because not only is the environment of the Hopeless Sea harsh, but the seabed is also full of unknown terrifying forces. Human monks cannot even reach the bottom of the sea, let alone explore for resources.
In addition, there are powerful sea beasts in the sea, some of which have even transformed into human form and can speak human language.
Legend has it that if there are still living beings in the world who are at the level of distraction or above, they must exist in the deep sea.
Besides, sea beasts are not vegetarians. In their eyes, human monks are also delicious delicacies.
Based on these reasons and more, if human monks want to explore the Hopeless Sea and leave Beichen Continent, they must organize a large number of people into teams, which is relatively safer. This is why the Hopeless Sea Trial came into being.
But who would have thought that the project, which was originally intended to explore ways out of Beichen Continent and benefit cultivators all over the world, would actually become a means for some people to make huge profits, and Tianyuan Pavilion Yahang was the instigator.
These people used the lives of countless monks who participated in the Hopeless Sea Trial to trade with the sea beasts in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources, and then distributed the resources to the ten nine-star sects and related families.
Although there is no conclusive evidence for this news, there is no smoke without fire. If it gets out, it will definitely cause conflicts among the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Territory.
It is even likely to cause a large-scale war between the three parties, which will surely result in countless casualties.
Lu Chen is not an angry young man. If it weren't for Elder Qiu, he would not bother to care about these things.
The reason why I told Xiahou Sheng the news was to help Elder Qiu fulfill his last wish and to seek psychological comfort.
Next, Lu Chen planned to go to Zhutian City. After all, he had collected a lot of wings of the Shadowless Sculpture, which could be used to upgrade the level of the flying sword "Qinghong".
In addition to the mysterious purple knife blank, if you need to upgrade it, you will also need to use the method of refining equipment.
However, he did not know how to refine weapons, and Zhutian City was home to the world's most famous weapon refiners, and its status in Beichen Continent was similar to that of Dan City.
That's why Lu Chen planned to wait until the Tianyin Mountain Secret Realm was over, and then help Sister Su solve her marriage issue, and then go to Zhutian City to learn how to refine weapons.
At the same time, try to find out the news about Brahma Pure Land.
Since the Tianyin Mountain Secret Realm is coming to an end, many cultivators, like Lu Chen, find a hidden place and wait to be teleported out to avoid any trouble.
The Tianyin Mountains and the area around Longtan Lake are still bustling with people and laughter, and it is very lively.
This included many specialized personnel sent by chambers of commerce to come here and offer various attractive acquisition conditions.
The hope is to attract monks coming out of the secret realm so that they can sell the resources they obtain to the chamber of commerce to which they belong.
There are also some elders who came with them from various sects and families, as well as some idle monks who came to watch the fun, so Longtan Lake is so lively.
Among these people, there was a middle-aged cultivator who sat cross-legged right above the portal. As soon as Lu Chen came out, he would be the first to see him.
And this person is Lei Aotian…………………………
