AWB Chapter 592: The Peak
Chapter 592: The Peak
In a room inside a convenient tower, Lu Chen raised his hand and set up a soundproof formation.
Jiang Jingyun saw Lu Chen's gloomy face and knew that the matter was serious, so he asked tentatively:
"Lu Chen! Did something happen?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen pointed to the coffee table in the room and said:
"Sit down first! I do have a lot of things I want to ask you. Let's see if we can find some clues.
I will make the mastermind behind this incident in Tianmen Territory pay a heavy price no matter what."
After the two of them sat down, Lu Chen continued:
"First, tell me what happened during the days I was away. Did anything strange happen, or did any strange people appear?
Also, I didn't find Yu Zhantian, Yu Nanshan and others. Where did they go? Did something happen to them?
Oh, right! Such a big thing happened. Before I left, didn’t I leave you a jade slip? Did you crush it? "
Facing the question raised by Lu Chen, Jiang Jingyun didn't even think about it and said unhappily:
"How dare you talk about that jade slip? According to your instructions, such a big thing happened, of course I crushed the jade slip.
I thought some expert would show up, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
You are not just taking a piece of broken jade slip to comfort me, are you? "
As he spoke, Jiang Jingyun took out some fragments of the jade slips and slapped them on the table to prove that what he said was true.
Seeing this, Lu Chen also smiled awkwardly:
"How could I lie to you? Something must have happened. I'll explain it to you once I figure it out.
Calm down first and tell me what happened these days and the situation of Yu Zhantian and others!"
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't seem to be lying to him, Jiang Jingyun simply told him what had happened in the past few days.
Old man Yu Zhantian and others, who failed to enter the Zangguan formation to break through their cultivation, assisted Jiang Jingyun in the city construction work.
Before the incident, because a batch of construction materials needed to be imported, Yu Zhantian personally took people to select them, and has not returned since.
Before the incident, nothing unusual happened, and the monks who were poisoned first suddenly fell down strangely.
Then, in less than a cup of tea, hundreds of thousands of monks in charge of city construction in Xicheng District were poisoned.
Jiang Jingyun couldn't explain it either. He himself was poisoned for unknown reasons. Just thinking about the painful feeling made him shudder.
After listening to this, Lu Chen frowned slightly when he saw that he couldn't get any valuable information from Jiang Jingyun.
"Lu Chen! Do you think this matter was possibly the work of the Cultivator Alliance?"
Jiang Jingyun guessed while stroking his beard.
Hearing this, Lu Chen touched his chin subconsciously, and then said:
"It shouldn't be. From what I know, the Cultivator Alliance wants to wait until we are done, and then attack us directly and forcefully, just like the mantis stalking the cicada."
"Ah? What should we do then? Wouldn't everything you do then be like making wedding clothes for others?"
Jiang Jingyun's face changed drastically when he heard that.
In his opinion, if that was the case, with Lu Chen's strength, it would be impossible for him to compete with the Cultivator Alliance.
Seeing this, Lu Chen raised his mouth slightly and said:
"Don't worry about this matter for now, just focus on completing the construction of Tianmen Domain as soon as possible.
If the Cultivator Alliance dares to come, I will prepare a great gift for them in advance."
Seeing that Lu Chen looked so confident, Jiang Jingyun didn't say anything more.
Then, Lu Chen told Jiang Jingyun that after these monks recovered, there would definitely be many monks who would not want to stay and work.
He was asked to think of countermeasures in advance and not let the progress of the project be delayed because of this incident.
After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lu Chen left with an excuse.
Xicheng District covers an area of approximately 25 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a small county town.
In addition to the main urban areas, there are some man-made mountains in the outlying areas.
At this moment, it was already late at night and with the faint moonlight, Lu Chen flew on his sword to a mountain west of Xicheng District.
Then, with a thought, a jade slip appeared in his palm.
"Click..."
As Lu Chen exerted a little force, the jade slip in his palm made a "crack" sound and broke into several pieces.
After doing all this, Lu Chen stood on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the starry sky in the distance, as if he had merged himself into the night.
Not long after, when Lu Chen felt something strange coming from behind him, he did not turn around, but directly said to the air in a questioning tone:
"Such a big thing happened in Tianmen Territory, why don't you show up?"
However, a disdainful voice came from behind Lu Chen:
"Please pay attention to your tone of voice, or I might be rude to you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly turned around, put on a traitorous look, and smiled awkwardly:
"Hahaha... I was just kidding, you took it seriously. But Old Carp King wants you to fully cooperate with my actions.
This Tianmen Territory is my property. How can you stand by and watch someone die? At the very least, you should stop the person who poisoned me.
With your cultivation level, can't you find the trace of the person who poisoned me?"
However, as soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he felt a powerful force pulling his body. Then he felt his body instantly lose balance and then flew backwards.
In an instant, there was a dull "bang" sound, and Lu Chen fell face first to the ground with his limbs spread out, and was hit hard on the ground, being knocked unconscious.
At this moment, the man's voice rang in my ears again:
"Hmph! I'm warning you not to yell anymore. I'm not some old man."
After saying that, he didn't forget to step on Lu Chen's back a few times, causing him to beg for mercy in pain:
"Stop stepping on it! Stop stepping on it! If you step on it again, someone will die. Can't I just say I was wrong?"
Hearing this, the man stomped a few more times before stopping and said in a cold voice:
"Hmph! Send me back to your cave magic weapon quickly. If you dare to let me do this kind of housekeeping work for you again, I will beat you up."
At this time, Lu Chen climbed up covered in dust and was about to make a few excuses, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The faint moonlight sprinkled gray on the person's face. That person had sparkling eyes, red lips and white teeth, skin like jade, a waist as slender as a willow, and beige gauze outlined a beautiful curve. There was an indescribable sense of charm revealed in her dignified manner.
Especially under the moonlight, it has a unique flavor.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned by the other person's beauty. This was the first time he looked at the other person at such a close distance.
For a moment, I couldn’t help but fall into reverie…
