Chapter 603 The Biggest Problem
Chapter 603 The Biggest Problem
Just when Lu Chen thought that the battle with Zhao Chengzhi today was inevitable.
Zhao Chengzhi did not get angry because of Lu Chen's refusal. Instead, he sent a message through his spiritual consciousness to order people to release Yu Zhantian and others.
At the same time, materials worth tens of millions of high-quality spirit stones and the flying ships of the material suppliers were also returned in full.
However, those materials were taken out of the storage bag and neatly stacked on the flying ship, requiring Lu Chen and others to pick them up again.
This made Lu Chen confused. Could it be that the other party went to such great lengths just to say a few words to him?
After confirming that Grandpa Yu Zhantian and others were safe and sound, Lu Chen left with everyone else in doubt, and Zhao Chengzhi had no intention of stopping them.
Seeing this, Lu Chen decided not to bother with it any more. However, he always felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't tell why.
On the way back, Lu Chen also specifically asked Yu Zhantian about what exactly happened to them on Longwei Mountain to see if he could find any clues.
Yu Zhantian only said that after they were captured, they were imprisoned in a cave.
There was also a powerful being in the out-of-body stage who was responsible for watching their every move, and then he was released to meet Lu Chen.
After asking without any results, Lu Chen had no choice but to give up.
However, what Lu Chen didn't know was that when he left Yu Zhantian's room and prepared to go to the deck of the flying ship to get some fresh air.
Yu Zhantian in the room raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a ghostly smile.
Just when Lu Chen rushed back to Tianmen Territory, Zhao Chengzhi gave an order.
The former members of the Demonic Sect who had been gathered together earlier, all advanced towards the Dihuang Mountain in Zhongzhou.
Because Dihuang Mountain is a large spiritual stone mine under the alliance of cultivators, the purpose of this trip is to capture Dihuang Mountain and plunder the spiritual stone resources.
At the same time, Zhao Chengzhi also sent people to secretly spread rumors, saying that Lu Chen had reached a consensus with the Demon Sect and received funding from the Demon Sect.
A video clip of a memory crystal ball was also circulated, which happened to show a conversation between Lu Chen and Zhao Chengzhi, as well as the construction materials piled on the flying ship.
Because the sound was deliberately erased from the picture, the first impression given by the picture alone is that it really looks like Lu Chen has accepted Zhao Chengzhi's funding.
Once this news spread, it undoubtedly caused another stir.
Especially with the promotion of some people with ulterior motives, and Zhao Chengzhi's swift and decisive robbery of Dihuang Mountain, he announced to the world the strong return of his Tianmo Sect.
The matter became more and more serious, and Lu Chen was successfully labeled as colluding with the evil sect.
Lu Chen only learned about these things from Jiang Jingyun after he returned to Tianmen Domain. He was so angry that he cursed on the spot.
However, after calming down, Lu Chen decided to ignore the rumors for the time being.
Because he knew very well that some things would only get worse if they were explained more, and ignoring them was the best policy.
After learning that An Lushan was waiting for him at his mansion, Lu Chen happily went to meet the big boss.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, An Lushan asked Lu Chen indirectly where he learned the art of formation.
After learning that Lu Chen had actually taught himself the art of formation with just a jade slip.
As expected by Lu Chen, An Lushan once again proposed to accept Lu Chen as his disciple.
This time Lu Chen did not refuse, but agreed happily.
Because being able to get close to An Lushan would definitely be a hundred benefits for Lu Chen.
Then, after a simple three bows and nine kowtows and offering tea, Lu Chen had another master.
Including Xuanyuan Zhen who cannot be made public yet, and Elder Nangong Miao of the Fanyin Pavilion, Lu Chen now has three masters.
In the following period of time, An Lushan sorted out Lu Chen's existing knowledge of formations, and then taught him all he had learned in his life.
This retreat lasted for more than two months.
It has to be said that as a master of formations, An Lushan put a lot of effort into ensuring that the art of formations could be passed down.
Of course, the most important reason is that with the help of the Chaos Daosheng Jue, Lu Chen's talent in formation appears to be exceptionally amazing.
After nearly three months of construction, the entire Tianmen area has been completed.
Hundreds of thousands of monks in charge of city construction have also evacuated one after another.
Of course, there were also about tens of thousands of cultivators who had not yet settled down and applied to Jiang Jingyun to stay and prepare to settle down in the Tianmen Region.
Now everyone is waiting for Lu Chen to come out of seclusion so that the ceremony of receiving the title of nominee can be held.
That day, when Lu Chen came out of retreat and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, quite a few people had already gathered in the front hall.
Among them are Yu Qian, Ling Manyu, Yu Tongwei, Yan Zixia, as well as Zhong Tao, Gu Feng, Lu Zhishen, Lin Tian and others who have been in seclusion for several months.
It is worth mentioning that this short retreat allowed Lin Tian, Hu Lanying, Wang Juntang and others to make breakthroughs in their cultivation.
When Lu Chen entered the hall, everyone greeted him with joy. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
When Lu Chen saw everyone, he was filled with emotion. Now that the city has been built, he has friends like family around him, and a beautiful lady by his side.
To put it in modern terms, if you have achieved success in both love and career, it is not in vain for you to come to this world of cultivation.
When everyone had finished their greetings, Jiang Jingyun said at the right time:
"Lu Chen! Today, the urban area of Tianmen Domain has been completed, but except for the cultivators in charge of the city construction, more than 50,000 people are left behind.
Because of the "epidemic", and the rumors from the outside world that you are colluding with the demon monks, as well as the relationship with the Cultivators' Alliance.
There are simply no cultivators willing to come to Tianmen Territory. If this continues, Tianmen Territory will become a dead city, which is not conducive to the development of the city."
Jiang Jingyun's words successfully made everyone's faces become solemn.
After hearing this, Zhong Tao thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said proudly:
"Hasn't the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce already settled in the Tianmen Region? It has many industries and good business.
As long as we publicize it widely, it will definitely attract many monks.
We can also issue an announcement that as long as the cultivators are willing to settle down in Tianmen Territory, we will directly provide them with housing.
This will definitely attract a large number of independent cultivators. What do you think of my method?"
You know what, Zhong Tao's method really sounds like the truth.
After hearing this, many people present praised his method as feasible.
Seeing this, Zhong Tao's smile became even brighter.
However, Yu Tongwei, Wang Juntang, Jiang Jingyun and others frowned slightly, obviously having different opinions.
Lu Chen smiled at everyone and said:
"Everyone! Huaxia City will be everyone's Huaxia City. As long as everyone's thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
Everyone please express your opinions and let us work together to build our harmonious home."
