Chapter 3332: Chapter 1258: Nine Yang Sword Lord, Sharing the Same Fate (Part 2)

The overall head responsible for interrogating the disciples from various sects this time is the Nine Yang Sword Lord.

Because he possesses the divine power of Sword Heart Bright, he can easily discern the truth or falsehood of others’ words.

However, due to the Nine Yang Sword Lord’s laziness, he delegated these tasks to other disciples, and Yu Jiajia was one of them.

The Nine Yang Sword Lord was initially not very concerned about this matter, but upon hearing the word "friend," his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who might this be?"

...

"Nine Yang Sword Lord, might I ask who this person is?"

In the Pill Room, Luo Chen asked with great interest.

Chu Yan pursed her lips, her expression seemingly of some annoyance.

Yes!

Just like this.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh; he found Chu Yan quite interesting in matters outside of the Dao of Alchemy, as her expressions changed without any concealment.

"Someone like us, yet also unlike you and me."

"Uh..."

At this, Luo Chen was truly surprised.

Chu Yan snorted lightly, "The reason he’s like us is that he also ascended from the Mountain Sea Realm."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He remembered, indeed, he had heard this name from others’ mouths.

It seemed the person was truly from the Mountain Sea Realm.

"In what way is he different?"

"The difference is that both you and I are natives of the Mountain Sea, you’re a rogue cultivator, and I come from the Dark Abyss Sect, whereas he is from a legit lineage of the Daoist Sect. Not only was he heavily nurtured in the Mountain Sea Realm, but in the main sect of the Mystic Realm, his He Family is also one of the giant houses."

Luo Chen almost forgot.

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect does not primarily follow the master-apprentice tradition but rather maintains through family bloodlines.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, there was already a saying of twelve giant houses and thirty-six noble families, so here in the Mystic Realm, the scale is probably even larger.

Luo Chen made a sound of realization, then said, "It seems Daoist Chu doesn’t quite like these noble families’ spoiled scions, huh?"

Chu Yan waved her hand, "It’s not like that; though he comes from a noble family, he is not an ordinary spoiled brat. On the contrary, this person is extraordinarily talented, cultivates diligently, and is rare within the Daoist Sect. Moreover, he once improved a crippled sword scripture left by an unknown strong person in the Mountain Sea Realm, using it to cultivate the Nine Heavens Sword Qi, proving the Dao of Divine Transformation..."

Crippled sword scripture, Nine Heavens Sword Qi.

Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be that the other party also cultivates the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture"?

Luo Chen remembered another matter.

He once released a suppressed Kui Ox Ghost God on the Tian Nan Continent split off from Zhongzhou.

At that time, the Kui Ox Ghost God was suppressed by the avatar of a powerful cultivator from the Daoist Sect in the Mystic Realm using crude methods, but the sword marks that divided it into nine were all terrifying.

Now it seems, perhaps it was the handiwork of that person too.

"The reason I dislike this person is not because of his personal nature, but simply because he comes from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect."

Chu Yan said with a quiet tone, the excitement from their previous Dao discussion had unknowingly faded away.

This expression was noticed by Luo Chen, and for some reason, a sense of pity arose.

No!

It’s not pity, but shared pain!

Luo Chen had a similar experience; back then, his Life Soul was controlled by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, forcing him to personally destroy Mountain Sea Tianyuan with people.

Now Chu Yan’s state resembles his past situation.

The only difference may be that Luo Chen had a chance for a desperate fight, but Chu Yan faces the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, a giant entity that extinguishes any thoughts of resistance.

Moreover, such rumors also have speculations in the Su Ling Sect over there.

"You..." Luo Chen hesitated in speaking, after much consideration, he finally said softly, "Could it be that you’re being controlled?"

Chu Yan glanced at Luo Chen, "You guessed it?"

Luo Chen sighed, "It’s not that I guessed it, but I’ve had a similar experience too."

Chu Yan was puzzled, "You didn’t join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect back then, only became an External Affairs Guest Elder, right? No, did you enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven?"

Luo Chen regrettably nodded.

"No wonder, I wondered why later you ended up attacking the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. They said you became possessed, but now it seems you were more courageous than me."

Chu Yan now also felt a sense of shared pain, her gaze at Luo Chen carrying more admiration.

But then she shifted her tone, pointing at her palm-sized little face.

"But I am different from you. It’s not because my Life Soul was taken, but my Primordial Spirit being controlled."

Luo Chen understood; cultivators who have achieved Divinity Transformation and Void Refining surely have a complete Primordial Spirit and could not lack a Life Soul.

The only possibility is that someone set up a prohibition on Chu Yan.

And capable of doing this in the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, there is only one person.

"Venerable Tianyuan?"

Chu Yan gently nodded, "Yes, my life and death are at his whim. Just with a mere thought, my Primordial Spirit will collapse; a thousand years of painstaking cultivation, life, and Divine Soul, ruined in an instant."

Well!

Previously it was a fellowship of enthusiasts, now it’s a gathering of "suffering companions."

As the two were resonating in such feelings, a knock came at the door.

"Reporting to the Elder, the materials you requested have been brought by the disciples."

The door automatically opened.

Yu Jiajia stood bowing before the two of them.

Chu Yan gestured, and a storage bag fell into her hand.

"You go... wait, did you encounter anyone upon entering the mountain?"

Yu Jiajia hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I encountered Sword Lord; he casually asked some questions."

"What kind of questions?"

"Whether the Elder is refining pills, and..." Yu Jiajia’s gaze fell upon the Pill Furnace, on that Yu Shulin Feng, handsome young man.

Chu Yan frowned, "Alright, off you go!"

Before leaving, Yu Jiajia supplemented: "When I fetched herbs at the Alchemy Saint Hall, the steward in the hall asked me a question about how to allocate the proportion of elixirs to reward the sect’s cultivators below. Also, there is a shortage of elixirs suitable for Divine Transformation Great Powers, estimated to require Elder to refine another batch."

With that, she respectfully retreated.

After she left, Chu Yan sighed in distress, "Luo Chen, now you’re likely to be remembered by the Nine Yang Sword Lord."

Luo Chen chuckled, "A dignified Void Refining True Monarch’s reputation shouldn’t be so petty as to be envious of a mere Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, right?"

The word envy was spoken with some subtlety.

Chu Yan gave him a sidelong glance, speaking frankly, "I hail from the Dark Abyss Sect, once faced a bottleneck in Pill Refinement Technique, then joined the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Now, the Dark Abyss Sect still exists in the Mystic Realm and is one of the Nine Great Saint Sects. The Tianyuan forced me and laid prohibition techniques, yet it is ultimately not righteous. Thus, they’ve always wanted me to fully join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect; the Nine Yang Sword Lord received the Sect Master’s intention, actively pursuing me, hoping for me to become a Dao Companion Cultivator with him. Anyone obstructing this will face attacks from him, and even from the He Family behind him, and the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Would you say, they’d be generous in this matter?"

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly; the Daoist Sect not only desires Chu Yan’s body but wants her heart as well!

He and Chu Yan are too close, especially with his incredibly handsome appearance, it truly easily incites doubt.

But he doesn’t mind much.

"No worries, once this is over, I’ll probably leave."

"You’re leaving? To where?" Chu Yan’s eyes lit up, clearly revealing a longing for freedom.

Luo Chen gazed at those doe-like eyes, his heart softened, almost blurting out the offer to take her with him.

But he knew that was impossible.

Not to mention figuring out how to take Chu Yan away from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, the Integration Restriction on Chu Yan alone was beyond his current capability to resolve.

If he truly angers the Daoist Sect, that Venerable Tianyuan, in one thought, could cause Chu Yan’s Primordial Spirit to collapse, her body perish, and her Dao vanish.

"Haven’t decided yet, probably the nearest Blood Rain Continent..."

As he spoke, Luo Chen suddenly developed an idea.

Primordial Spirit collapse?

Maybe he does have a way to resolve it!
