Chapter 1300: It’s... It’s You—How Can You Still Be Alive?!
Lu Chen couldn't be bothered to talk to these mortals, so he waved his hand, and a surge of immortal power blew all the soldiers away. Then he directly walked towards Shangsha City.
The outer city of Shangsha City was very desolate, with almost no one around, only a few scattered people could be seen.
Lu Chen went straight to the inner city, and just then, a team of soldiers suddenly appeared ahead.
In a moment, these soldiers surrounded Lu Chen and the other two, "Who dares to trespass into Shangsha City!"
Lu Chen assessed the strength of these soldiers; they were all in the Mahayana Realm, with their leader in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
They were all mere mortals, and Lu Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words on them. He directly unleashed the pressure of an Immortal, and in the next moment, all the soldiers present were lying on the ground, unable to move.
Lu Chen took a step forward, and the next instant his figure appeared before the cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, directly using the Soul Searching Technique to see what they had been through.
After Lu Chen read the memory of that Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator, he murmured, "So it's like this, no wonder these people aren't afraid of death at all."
Cao Shiyun came to Lu Chen and asked, "Junior Brother Chen, what did you discover?"
Lu Chen said, "The City Lord of Shangsha City is using the essence blood of cultivators for cultivation and is threatening the major families of Shangsha City, saying that if anyone dares to leak this, their entire family will be massacred."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, both Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying were stunned. Using cultivators' essence blood for cultivation, could it be the Evil Immortal from Blood Eagle Hall?
Thinking of this, the two women immediately took out Spirit Swords from their Space Rings, instantly becoming on guard.
Lu Chen then said to the soldiers present, "Do you really think that by keeping this secret for that Evil Immortal, the matter won't get out?"
"It's truly laughable!"
"Others are treating you as nothing but reserve food, yet you still want to protect him."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, one of the soldiers said unwillingly, "What can we do? We can't leave Shangsha City at all; that Immortal's power is so strong, we simply cannot handle it."
Lu Chen laughed disdainfully, unwilling to waste words with these people. They had already lost the spirit to resist, even if they had a chance to save themselves, they wouldn't seize it.
Lu Chen then spread his aura and used Divine Sense to search for the City Lord of Shangsha City. Just then, Lu Chen's Divine Sense suddenly sensed something, and he flew into the air, then slashed out with a sword.
A surge of mighty Sword Qi directly rushed towards a certain place in the City Lord's Mansion. Sensing the threat of Sword Qi, a voice came from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Shangsha City isn't a place for you to be!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen sneered and said, "Shangsha City is the city of Mysterious Moon Palace, when did it become yours, you Evil Immortal!"
Perhaps stimulated by the words "Evil Immortal," a red, violent Spiritual Energy formed a tornado and flew out from the City Lord's Mansion, heading straight for Lu Chen.
The tornado collided with Lu Chen's Sword Qi, exploding in the air.
Neither of them used full strength, it was just a probing move.
Both were Immortals; if they went all out, the entire Shangsha City would be destroyed. Shangsha City no longer had any formation, even an attack by a Mortal Immortal would be too much for it to withstand.
At this moment, a red figure flew out from the City Lord's Mansion, heading towards the vast Desert Sea far from Shangsha City. My Virtual Library Empire (M-VLEMPYR)
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen chased after him, and Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying quickly followed upon seeing the situation.
Soon, Lu Chen caught up with the red figure.
The opponent never intended to run, it seemed he deliberately led Lu Chen into the Desert Sea to avoid damaging Shangsha City when they fought.
At this moment, the fleeing Immortal was floating in the air, looking back at Lu Chen.
The man was wearing a red robe and a ghost mask.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, the man was stunned, "It's you..."
"No... impossible, how can you still be alive..."
Even as the man spoke, his body trembled; although the mask hid his expression, the fear in his voice and trembling body was evident.
Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback, does this person know him?
No way, it's been billions of years since he last returned, and he runs into so many people who know him as soon as he returns. Looks like he'll have to start using Disguise Skills in the future.
Although those with higher cultivation states can see through his Disguise Skills, it's still necessary to use them to guard against those with lower cultivation states.
But from what this person said, he seems to be an enemy of mine, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid of me.
Lu Chen coldly glanced at the man across from him.
As they spoke, Lu Chen probed the man's aura and found that he was just a Mortal Immortal.
A Mortal Immortal shouldn't know me, right?
Those who know me should at least have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm by now, otherwise they would have long since reached their limit.
Then Lu Chen used the system to identify him.
[Name: Yang Yan]
[Identity: Former subordinate of Chen King, City Lord of Shangsha City]
[Strength: Mortal Immortal]
[Loyalty: 0]
Seeing this information, Lu Chen instantly realized, no wonder this person knows me, it turns out he's a traitor.
Lu Chen sneered, then said, "Isn't this Great General Yang? How did you end up in such a state?"
Back then, Yang Yan did not immediately betray him when several major forces besieged him. Instead, he stayed by his side, providing information on his whereabouts to the other forces.
If it weren't for Yang Yan, he might have been able to hide in the Tianyan Immortal Domain. Ultimately, he was forced to flee to White Feather City, with nowhere else to go. He could only take his wives and concubines into the Chaotic Sea.
If Yang Yan had chosen to leave right at the start, Lu Chen wouldn't have minded. At the time, with so many top forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain attacking him, an Immortal King like him had no chance at all.
But Yang Yan didn't leave immediately; instead, he stayed and secretly provided intelligence to the major forces. The maid buried outside of Shangsha City was killed because of Yang Yan's informant work.
Feeling the Death Qi emanating from Yang Yan, Lu Chen found it ironic that a dignified Immortal Monarch had ended up in such a state.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yang Yan immediately gathered the Immortal Aura on his body, and then struck a palm towards Lu Chen, "I ended up like this because of you!!!"
In the next moment, Yang Yan's palm transformed into countless Yin Souls.
These Yin Souls were all the Yin Souls of Immortals. As soon as the Yin Souls appeared, the skies above the Desert Sea immediately shrouded in dark clouds, and the surroundings darkened instantly.
Yang Yan could naturally sense that Lu Chen's cultivation was higher than his, but hatred had already driven him to irrationality.
