Chapter 903: Lu Chen, the Darkhearted
"You are nothing but this, old man. Go to hell!"
At this time, Lu Chen sneered.
He didn't intend to let the old man go easily, and was ready to attack again.
The old man was shocked when he heard this. He clearly felt that he had been firmly locked by Lu Chen's consciousness.
His face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The old man knew that he had no way out, so he could only beg for mercy: "Stop, stop now, I am from the Cao family of Qingyun Immortal City, you can't kill me, otherwise you will die without a burial place."
After hearing the sound, Lu Chen's mind turned into a lot of thoughts, and he hurriedly took back all the immortal energy into his body. The strange scene in the sky suddenly returned to tranquility.
Then, he flashed to the old man's side, pretending to be frightened and said:
"Oh my, oh my...what is this? I'm sorry, senior. I'm really sorry.
I really didn't know you were from the Cao family just now. I am from the Zhang family. Don't you think this is a misunderstanding? I apologize for any offense I caused you. "
When the old man heard what Lu Chen said, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He realized that he might still have a chance of survival. So he immediately responded:
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Since you are from the Zhang family, there should be no hatred between us.
As long as you let me live today, I promise that after returning to Qingyun Fairy City, I will never mention what happened today to the Cao family.
I can even help you out in the Immortal City.”
When Lu Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be eager to get the old man's help. Then he smiled and said:
"Don't worry, senior. Since it was just a misunderstanding, how could I offend you again?"
After hearing this, the old man finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he hurriedly took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation.
However, just when the old man relaxed his vigilance, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Then, Lu Chen suddenly attacked without any warning, his movements were as fast as lightning, leaving the old man no time to react.
With a muffled "puff" sound, the long knife in Lu Chen's hand ruthlessly pierced the old man's abdomen, and bright red blood spurted out like a fountain in an instant.
"You...how dare you..."
The old man looked down at the big knife inserted into his abdomen, then widened his eyes and stared at Lu Chen closely, his eyes full of disbelief and astonishment. He could never have imagined that Lu Chen would launch a sneak attack on him at this critical moment.
However, Lu Chen did not care about the old man's shocked expression, but decisively pulled out the long sword.
Then, he quickly activated the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, placed a hand on the old man's forehead, and began to perform the soul-searching technique.
In fact, the reason why he had been pretending to obey the old man just now was to prevent the old man from fighting desperately at the last moment, thus interfering with his successful performance of the soul-searching technique.
As the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue was put into operation, a powerful mental force suddenly surged into the old man's sea of consciousness and began to search his memory.
At this moment, the old man's face was distorted and hideous, his hands were tightly grasping the ground, his nails were deeply embedded in the ground, but his body was unable to move at all due to severe injuries, and he could only struggle in vain, trying to resist this powerful force.
At the same time, Lu Chen's consciousness turned into an invisible net, quickly covering the old man's sea of consciousness.
In this vast spiritual world, countless memory fragments streak across like meteors. Lu Chen uses his unique abilities to cleverly capture these fragments one by one.
As time went by, the old man's expression gradually changed from pain to despair, and finally, under Lu Chen's gaze, it turned into a hint of relief.
At this moment, Lu Chen successfully obtained a lot of crucial information from the old man's mind.
First of all, the old man was originally from the Cao family of Qingyun Fairy City. As a relative of the Cao family, his name was Cao Yuan.
Secondly, Lu Chen learned the detailed situation within the Cao family, including various defensive arrangements, as well as the complex relationship between the family and other forces.
In addition, there is one most important piece of information - Zhang Xuemei had mentioned before about the remains of the immortal Bi Wuhen.
When the last trace of soul information was completely extracted, the old man's eyes quickly dimmed, as if he had lost his vitality.
Then, his body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Lu Chen stood up and looked at the lifeless body in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by becoming stronger could he protect everything he cared about.
After taking away Cao Yuan's storage ring, Lu Chen summoned the Heavenly Fire Mist Lotus Heart Fire and turned his body into ashes. Then he simply sorted out his thoughts.
Decided to use the information just obtained to make a more detailed plan for my next actions.
After a few breaths, Lu Chen's mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. He gently patted the dust off his body, with a confident look in his eyes.
Then he quickly looked around to make sure there were no other monks nearby.
After making sure it was safe, he immediately used the Chaos Disguise Technique.
As a mysterious light flashed, his body began to change. His originally young face gradually became old, wrinkles appeared on his face, and his hair turned white.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen had completely transformed into the old man named Cao Yuan.
This secret technique originated from the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue he mastered. It can not only change a person's appearance, but even simulate their breath and expression vividly.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked exactly like Cao Yuan, as if they were the same person.
This disguise is flawless. It would be impossible to detect it unless you encounter a powerful person at the level of a celestial being.
After all, there were only a few celestial beings in the entire Qingyun Immortal City. And this was the Qingyun Fairyland, so it was even more difficult to encounter a celestial being.
After completing the transformation, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this disguise was crucial for the next action. Only by successfully hiding it from other people could he implement his plan smoothly.
Then, Lu Chen set out towards the ruins according to the clues he obtained from Cao Yuan’s memory.
Along the way, he remained vigilant and kept an eye on the surroundings to prevent any danger.
On the way, Lu Chen discovered many precious magical herbs and medicines. These were rare treasures. If they were put up for auction, they would definitely sell for a good price.
So, he put them in his pocket without hesitation to reserve resources for his own cultivation.
At the same time, whenever he encountered a cultivator with lower cultivation than himself, Lu Chen would use his identity as "Cao Yuan" and the pressure from the Cao family of Qingyun Immortal City to force the other party to hand over the immortal crystals and other treasures they carried with them.
In this way, Lu Chen collected resources while approaching his destination.
Every successful robbery made him feel extremely excited and satisfied.
Although the harvest is not much each time, but accumulated little by little, it can always bring you unexpected benefits.
As time went by, the wealth he accumulated became more and more abundant.
Although most of them are ordinary cultivators and do not have many immortal crystals on them, for Lu Chen, this is enough for him to use in his subsequent cultivation.
Of course, this amount of fairy crystal cannot meet Lu Chen’s needs.
However, Lu Chen did not give up this practice, but continued to rob those cultivators whose cultivation was lower than his own.
Anyway, those people who were robbed by him will only hate the Cao family in the end, and it has nothing to do with him, Lu Chen.
And according to Cao Yuan's memory, Lu Chen also learned an important secret.
That is the Cao family, who are Murong Xiao's lackeys and have done many shameful things.
From this point of view, Lu Chen has no psychological burden at all...
