Chapter 1458 Revenge on the Holy Sound Pavilion
Chapter 1458 Revenge on the Holy Sound Pavilion
Lu Chen sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "You think you can keep me here? You're really overestimating yourselves."
After saying that, he suddenly unleashed an aura comparable to that of the Transformation Realm, instantly enveloping the five people.
The terrifying pressure immediately caused the five people's expressions to change drastically, and their original confident expressions were replaced by shock and unease.
Seeing this, the young man in black, though afraid of Lu Chen's strength, was emboldened by the sect leader's orders and the generous rewards, and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Let's join forces. As long as we can hold him off for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the sect leader will arrive with his men. At that time, that mid-grade divine vein will be ours."
According to the orders above, whoever discovers Lu Chen's whereabouts and cooperates to capture him will receive a mid-grade divine spirit vein.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, so the young man in black robes prepared to take the risk.
Upon hearing this, the other four had a resolute look in their eyes. They all summoned their magic weapons, preparing to fight Lu Chen to the death and hold him off for half an incense stick's time.
However, at this tense moment, Lu Chen suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
This sudden turn of events startled the five people, their eyes filled with doubt and wariness.
A sly smile flashed across Lu Chen's face as he slowly said, "Before you make a move, I advise you to look behind you first."
Out of instinct, the five people turned around upon hearing this, but what they saw terrified them.
Yun Fengyuan was standing not far away, looking at them with a half-smile. The powerful pressure of the Transformation Realm was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe, as if they were being crushed by a heavy object and unable to move.
"The Transformation Realm..." the black-robed youth thought in horror.
Lu Chen already possessed strength comparable to the Transformation Realm, and now another Transformation Realm expert had arrived. The group's faces turned ashen instantly, and their previous courage vanished.
They knew in their hearts that any resistance would be futile in the face of such a disparity in strength.
Just then, Lu Chen's divine sense detected that a group of cultivators were rapidly approaching from more than ten kilometers away, and based on their speed, he judged that they would arrive in just a dozen breaths.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not delay any longer. After instructing Yun Fengyuan to do things according to the old rules, he directly used his divine sense to cover the group and then sent them into the Golden Pearl World.
After doing all this, Lu Chen quickly took out a talisman from his storage ring. This talisman looked extraordinary, with complex patterns and symbols engraved on it, faintly exuding a mysterious aura.
The surface of the talisman shimmered with a faint light, as if it contained profound power waiting to be released.
Lu Chen stared at the talisman containing his external avatar in his hand, a sly glint in his eyes. He then poured his divine essence into it, and the talisman instantly emitted a dazzling light.
The light quickly receded, and an avatar identical to Lu Chen appeared before him.
This avatar not only looked exactly like the original, but even its aura was almost identical. The avatar's eyes were bright and piercing, and its demeanor exuded a calm and confident air.
Unless you witness the process firsthand, it's impossible to tell which is real and which is fake.
Without pausing, Lu Chen immediately formed a series of complex hand seals and issued commands to his avatar.
Every gesture was precise and contained profound meaning and power. In this way, Lu Chen transmitted his will to his avatar, ensuring that it would act according to the predetermined plan.
Then, Lu Chen's avatar lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his entire body shot into the sky like an arrow, flying through the air and speeding southward.
It was incredibly fast, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint trail of light and shadow.
At the same time, Lu Chen himself vanished from his original spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of miles away. All these actions were fluid, swift, and stealthy.
Because Lu Chen's mind was connected with his avatar, he knew everything that the avatar experienced.
At this moment, Lu Chen saw that his avatar was being surrounded and intercepted by a group of cultivators, successfully attracting their attention.
However, under Lu Chen's command, that avatar was desperately teleporting regardless of the consequences, and its speed was comparable to that of a Dao Transformation Realm expert, making it difficult to capture in a short time.
"Sacred Sound Pavilion, is it? Let my avatar have some fun with you. I wonder what kind of expression you'll have when you come back and find your sect's lair destroyed."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately teleported away from where he stood.
Lu Chen had already found out the approximate locations of the five great sects during his conversation with Yun Kebo. The Sacred Sound Pavilion was located in the Sacred Sound Mountain Range, north of the Southern Barbarian Prefecture.
It is said that the area is surrounded by towering peaks and misty clouds, dense forests and steep mountains, with a strong spiritual aura and a relatively stable surrounding environment.
Such an environment is rare in Nanman County, which explains why the Holy Sound Pavilion is one of the five great holy sects.
Lu Chen's purpose in this trip was to completely destroy the heartland of the Holy Sound Pavilion, thus cutting off its supply lines.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, under the search of Lu Chen's powerful divine sense, he silently arrived above the Sacred Sound Pavilion and used the power of the Great Dao Origin, "I am water," to transform his figure into nothingness and hide in a cloud.
Looking down at the earth, one can see that the Sacred Sound Pavilion is nestled among the rolling mountains, surrounded by peaks, and filled with divine energy, like a fairyland.
The sect was built against the mountain, and the entire sect complex was arranged in a staggered manner, with the layout combining the Great Dao and formations.
The main hall is magnificent and stands in the center, surrounded by various buildings with different functions: training rooms, libraries, alchemy rooms, and medicine gardens.
In front of the main hall is a wide square paved with bluestone, which was probably used for major festivals or celebrations so that disciples could gather here.
On one side of the square was the entrance to the back mountain, where Lu Chen could vaguely see a powerful figure guarding the area, whose cultivation level should be at the Transformation Realm.
After getting a general idea of the layout, Lu Chen turned his attention to the back mountain.
That place is the most mysterious place in the entire Holy Sound Pavilion, where the sect's most important resource is the herb garden.
The herb garden is located in a secluded valley, surrounded by towering peaks that form a natural barrier, and is also protected by array formations.
To avoid revealing himself, Lu Chen first set his sights on this place. After all, compared to directly barging into a crowded and conspicuous area, the defenses here were relatively weak.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's mind stirred, and in an instant, the surrounding white clouds, under the control of the power of the Great Dao Law "I am water," quickly turned into dark clouds, and a torrential rain began to fall.
At the same time, Lu Chen, who had vanished into nothingness, was hidden in one of the raindrops, rapidly falling towards the herb garden...
