Chapter 813: Attack Instead of Defense, Yuan Tu Sword Spirit

Because of the short distance, Luo Chen should be the first to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.

But when he stepped into the hall, his hair stood on end.

He looked up and saw that City Lord Lingtian was still sitting in the first seat with a smile, and an old man on a chair next to the City Lord was looking at him with interest.

"Is this the famous Dan Zong recently?"

Luo Chen recognized who the old man was at a glance.

It was the strong man who had set up the formation that made Qingming dark before at Lingtian Pass.

And the other party's identity was self-evident after the previous preparation.

"I am Tianduzi, and I am honored to meet you."

Luo Chen bowed, "Luotian Zong, Luo Chen!"

Then, at the signal of City Lord Lingtian, he found a chair and sat down at random.

As soon as he sat down, Tianduzi asked curiously: "It is rumored that Brother Luo is very good at making pills, and is said to be able to make any pill, and is the best in the East Desert pill world?"

Luo Chen opened his mouth. When did the rumor become so outrageous?

Although he wanted to make a name for himself, he didn't use such an exaggerated advertising slogan!

No, what he said at that time was [Refine a hundred pills, master everything], which seemed to be no different from the other party's words.

Before he could answer, the Lord of Lingtian City said with a smile: "Tianduzi, this is not a rumor. In my opinion, there is almost no one in the vast East Desert Alchemy World who can be compared with Fellow Daoist Luo. Even some senior alchemists of my Mingyuan Sect are slightly inferior. Perhaps only when the Alchemy Saint was here could he compete with Fellow Daoist Luo."

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva, "You are too flattering, too flattering!"

Tianduzi praised: "Young and promising! I have spent my whole life to perfect the formation, but I still cannot enter the Dao with the formation. Fellow Daoist Luo is so young, and he has such attainments in the Dao of Alchemy. I am afraid that his achievements in the future will not be less than those of the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan."

The Alchemy Saint Chu Yan entered the Dao with the elixir and was promoted to the God of Transformation.

He even ascended to the upper realm under the attention of the public.

These news, even across the ocean, are clear to the top people in the world like Tianduzi.

Comparing Luo Chen with her, it can be seen how much Tianduzi praised Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that he had only made a few pills for others, but his reputation had been raised to this level.

Not wanting the other party to discuss him again, Luo Chen hurriedly asked about the previous abnormality.

In response, Lingtian City Lord evaded the question and said that he would talk about it after everyone was gathered.

Luo Chen naturally stopped asking.

Soon, Yuanying Zhenren came from all directions of Lingtian Pass and gathered in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the sight, old acquaintances, casual acquaintances, and even people like Jin Ling and Motian Laogui who glared at each other appeared one after another.

Luo Chen was calm and just waited for Lingtian City Lord to speak.

The only thing that surprised him was that at some point, Lingfengzi also returned to Lingtian Pass safely.

When he came in, he nodded to Luo Chen.

Everyone is here!

The Lord of Lingtian City knocked on the table and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Tianduzi, I believe everyone is familiar with it!"

Everyone nodded.

"Next, the Lingtian Pass defensive formation, the Xuanwu Square Formation, will be taken over by Tianduzi himself."

"Not only that, all the formations in the city, big or small, as long as they are level three or above, will be in charge of the disciples of Tiandu Sect. All Daoists who perform fixed patrol tasks should send people to check the formations in their respective urban areas as soon as possible, and tell the disciples of Tiandu Sect about the degree of damage and completeness, so that they can arrange repairs and completions, and even cooperate with the changes."

This is also what should be expected, as expected by everyone.

Professional matters should be handed over to professionals, and the most taboo is to pretend to know something when you don't.

As a well-known formation sect in the East Wilderness, Tiandu Sect, from the Supreme Elder to the entry-level disciples, has a deep understanding of formations.

It is most appropriate for them to be in charge of the Lingtian Pass formation.

After saying a few words, the Lord of Lingtian City handed it over to Tianduzi.

The old man smiled slightly, "I only have two things to say!"

"First, after I take over the Xuanwu Four-sided Formation, its power will be greatly enhanced, and the attack range of the Four-sided Black Sword will no longer be limited to the city."

When these words came out, everyone was refreshed.

Especially Qin Baixiang, Luo Chen and others.

They knew the power of the Four-sided Black Sword better than anyone else.

A cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul would die if he touched it.

A strong man in the middle stage would also find it difficult to resist.

Only a great cultivator could resist it, but it would also cost a lot.

The only drawback is that the attack range is only within Lingtian Pass, so that the demon king outside the pass can threaten the city defense of Lingtian Pass from time to time.

If the Four-sided Black Sword can attack outside the city, even if it costs a lot to activate it once, the demon clan will at least not dare to be so presumptuous.

"The second thing is that the Zhoutian Xingdou formation that you fellow Taoists had arranged with me before has taken effect. The Qingming Land above Lingtian Pass is under control. There will no longer be a group of evildoers descending from the sky to attack Lingtian Pass!"

Zhoutian Xingdou formation!

One of the three most famous fifth-level formations in the Tiandu Sect's heritage.

I didn't expect that Tianduzi would be willing to arrange it in Lingtian Pass, and everyone thanked him.

Luo Chen suddenly realized that the magic compass he had activated before was indeed part of the formation.

And this Zhoutian Xingdou formation was arranged by Tianduzi himself, and more than a dozen Yuanying cultivators assisted at the same time. Its magic can be imagined.

In this way, the internal troubles were solved.

The four-sided black sword that can attack outside can also solve some external troubles.

"Sure enough, a powerful formation master can completely influence the direction of a war."

"Compared to that, the level of my fourth-level formation master is far inferior to that of Tianduzi."

Luo Chen sighed.

He admitted the gap between himself and Tianduzi, but he did not belittle himself.

The other party specializes in formations, while he has only dabbled in it a little. It is natural that he has some shortcomings.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed a lot after Tianduzi finished talking about two things.

The next time, the Lord of Lingtian City left it to everyone to get to know each other so that it would be convenient for the next coordinated battle.

At least, you have to recognize each other's faces!

The originally serious wartime meeting became more like a normal gathering between Yuanying cultivators.

And in this environment, Luo Chen unexpectedly became the focus of everyone again.

One by one, the Yuanying cultivators took the initiative to come forward to make friends with him.

Even the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion, who originally stood with Lin Qingxuan and Motian Laogui, walked towards Luo Chen under the frowning eyes of the two.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, did you receive the visiting card I sent you before?"

"Oh?" Luo Chen blinked, as if he suddenly remembered something, and laughed, saying, "I saw it, but I was busy with patrol missions before, and the Demon King attacked, so I was delayed for a while."

Pavilion Master Li vaguely heard Luo Chen's evasion, but he was not discouraged and continued to chat with Luo Chen.

...

Time passed little by little.

In the evening, the Yuanying cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion gradually dispersed.

And in Luo Chen's cave, a private meeting with only five people was taking place.

The participants were all old acquaintances.

Jiuling Yuanjun, Lingfengzi, Fu Lao, Xianhe Zhenren.

These four people all received Luo Chen's help in refining pills, so they frequently visited each other in their spare time.

After the meeting at the City Lord's Mansion today, Luo Chen took the initiative to invite them to come over for a gathering.

Looking at the four people who were in high spirits, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little proud.

After returning to the East Wilderness for only a few years, he has made a large number of connections, and they are all Yuanying masters that were out of reach before.

Now, they all take him as the center, surround him, and advance and retreat together.

And outside, there are more people who want to squeeze into this circle.

I have to say that the previous decision to become famous through alchemy is the right one!

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I have to thank you for the elixir you sent last time, which helped me to detoxify the lightless beast." Xianhe Zhenren suddenly said.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's just a little effort. The elixir I sent is not completely suitable for the disease. You still have the skills to recuperate yourself."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the other three also became curious.

After Xianhe Zhenren told the story, the three couldn't help but admire Luo Chen's nobleness.

However, they also felt more deeply about the danger of fighting the Demon King.

"These demon king-level beings may not have the same means as us human Yuanying, but each of them has a hidden magic. If you are not careful, it will be very troublesome."

"That's right. I was besieged by the three demon kings under Niu Gui. I thought my magic power was strong, no less than that of the late Yuanying great monks, but I didn't expect that one of the demons had the strange means of absorbing the monks' magic power. If it weren't for my strong magic power, I would have died in it if I hadn't fought my way out."

"Jiu Ling Yuan Jun, you are so powerful, but you almost died. What should we do if we meet such an opponent?"

...

Unlike the meeting in the city lord's mansion during the day, Luo Chen was not very optimistic about the next battle in private.

When it comes to the various methods of the demon kings they met, they are also very afraid.

Like the demon king that Jiu Ling Yuan Jun mentioned, there has never been a record in the classics. It is suspected that he is a new species that appeared in the Million Mountains.

And that was just one of the members of the Niugui Commander.

The nine demon leaders are all powerful.

As far as everyone knows, there are Qixi, Huangman, Niugui, Baizu, Aojuu... and the Qingshuang Demon King who makes people shudder.

No ordinary Yuanying cultivator wants to run into them.

The only advantage is that they can defend the city without leaving Lingtian Pass and being exposed to these great demon kings!

However, Lingfengzi's words cast a thick shadow on everyone's hearts.

"Don't be too optimistic. Maybe it won't be long before we have to go out of the city to fight."

Xianhe Zhenren was surprised and said, "No way. Now the demon clan is so powerful that it's difficult for us to hold on. How can we take the initiative to attack?"

Ling Fengzi sighed, "Do you know what my previous mission was?"

In the confusion of everyone, he said faintly, "Lingtian City Lord gave me a complete map of the human cultivation world in the East Wilderness, and specially circled the three regions of Ba Dao, Bi Kong, and Huo Ling, and asked me to focus on investigating the distribution of the demon clan's troops. If it wasn't for preparing for an active attack, I can't think of what the meaning of his doing this is?"

Xianhe Zhenren hesitated and said, "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle?"

"Why do you need to explore again when the enemy is at the gate?" Ling Fengzi sneered, "After the army is approaching, isn't the enemy's strength clear at a glance? Moreover, the days when he asked me to stay outside were not just to investigate these, but also to let me find out the route of the rest of the demon clan army."

Xianhe Zhenren opened his mouth and was speechless.

Luo Chen had experienced the first defensive battle of Lingtian Pass and had some experience.

Thinking, he said slowly: "If we allow the demon army to gather and encircle the four sides with a huge number, cutting off the support of Lingtian's five regions and even the sixteen regions in the rear, Lingtian Pass will be an isolated city. At that time, tens of millions of demon beasts will attack Lingtian Pass at the same time. Even if it is the most powerful city in the East Wilderness, I am afraid it will not be able to defend it."

Jiu Ling Yuan Jun also nodded, "When my Jiu Ling Sect was broken, it was also due to the number. It can even be said that not only Jiu Ling Sect, but also Taihu Palace, Ba Dao Sect, and even the Blue Sky Sect, these big forces were killed by the demon sea tactics."

Sometimes when the number is up, no matter how sophisticated the means are, they are just fancy.

"So!" Luo Chen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "As long as the Lord of Lingtian City is not a pedantic person, he will not sit idly by and watch Lingtian Pass being surrounded. On the contrary, attacking as defense, taking advantage of the nine commanders not yet gathered, and achieving a local victory, can allow Lingtian Pass to be defended longer. And those three regions are the most suitable strategic buffer zone!"

This remark caused everyone to nod frequently.

Although there is a large plain area outside Lingtian Pass, if this place is used as a battlefield, it will almost cut off the road to Lingtian Pass's support.

But if the three front-line regions are conquered and the battlefield is placed in these three places, the space for maneuvering will be larger.

At that time, whether it is fighting or retreating, or waiting for the sixteen regions in the rear to rush to help, there will be ample space.

From a strategic point of view, this is the best way.

Lingtian City Lord is definitely not a pedantic person, and his idea is likely to be the same.

But for Luo Chen, Ling Fengzi and other parties who have to fight in person, the dangers in this matter are difficult to estimate.

Old Fu, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment.

"No wonder Tianduzi specifically said today that the attack range of the Four-sided Black Sword is no longer limited to Lingtian Pass."

Everyone suddenly realized!

Tianduzi's words were not just a prelude to the future counterattack, but also to dispel the doubts of ordinary Yuanying cultivators.

"So, when will that battle come?" Someone said faintly.

...

The small gathering in the cave ended at three o'clock in the morning.

In addition to deepening relationships and chatting about major events, everyone also exchanged some cultivation experiences later.

Jiuling Yuanjun changed his mentality of sweeping away and cherishing himself, and took out a lot of Yuanying mid-stage cultivation experience to share with everyone.

And in his occasional demonstrations, the occasional breath revealed was like a deep sea, which made people look sideways.

"With the help of Jiuli Dan, he should have successfully differentiated nine spirit infants and started to master the secret methods of the sect. I wonder how strong Jiuling Yuanjun is now?"

After everyone dispersed, Luo Chen thought about it casually.

But he was not afraid. Jiuling Yuanjun was his ally. The stronger he was, the more benefits he would get.

Moreover, his progress was not much behind!

In the realm column, he was getting closer and closer to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

And once he broke through and his main soul transformed, he might be able to differentiate a third soul!

At that time, he could also try to learn a defensive soul technique recorded in "Soul Splitting Skill".

In terms of offensive means, Luo Chen was confident that he was not inferior to any existence of the same level, even if he challenged him across levels, he would have some confidence.

But the situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, and only defense was the basis for self-protection!

Luo Chen took out a pill recipe from the storage ring.

It was sent by the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion when the meeting was over today. He wanted Luo Chen to refine a large amount of this pill and was willing to pay enough for it.

And Luo Chen was quite familiar with the things made by this pill formula.

It was the advanced pill of the Jade Ding Sword Sect's Transparent Liquid back then - Jade Emperor Qingtong Liquid!

For sword cultivators, it is of great help.

"It should be the pill formula that Wanjian Pavilion asked for from the Jade Ding Sword Sect!"

Luo Chen glanced at it and was not interested.

The difficulty of refining this pill was not too big for him, and he could refine it at will.

But at the moment, refining the pill did not improve his strength too much.

It is better to focus on other things.

Putting away the pill formula, Luo Chen took out the Yuan Tu Sword again.

In the refining of sword energy again and again, even though the proficiency of the sword scripture was not improved to a high level and the sword energy stored was not much, he found that his control over the Yuan Tu Sword was getting stronger and stronger.

Faintly, he seemed to be building a close connection with the Yuantu sword spirit sealed in the third layer.

"The Qianxiao sword energy is really difficult to master quickly. It can only be accumulated bit by bit over time."

"But if I can communicate with the sword spirit, I can completely master this killing sword comparable to a spiritual treasure. For me at the moment, it is undoubtedly the biggest improvement!"

With beautiful hopes, Luo Chen closed his eyes and mobilized the unrefined Chixiao Qi in his body, breathing it in and out again.

Strands of sword energy containing his magic power flowed on the Yuantu sword.

In a trance, the man and the sword actually had some inexplicable fit.
