Chapter 518 - 194 Luo Alliance Leader, Xuanhe List!

Chapter 518: Chapter 194 Luo Alliance Leader, Xuanhe List!

Several hours later, Luo Cheng returned to the Xuanyuan Sect.

Just as he entered the mountain gate, four Outer Disciples walked toward him, all young girls about fifteen or sixteen years old, each brimming with youthful energy.

“Eh! Senior Brother Luo Cheng! You’re back!”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Luo Cheng! I am Su Ying, a member of the Luo Alliance!”

Two Outer Disciples who were familiar with Luo Cheng eagerly stepped forward to greet him, their expressions respectful, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Luo Cheng was momentarily startled, then smiled bitterly at the thought of Chen Lingyu’s words back then.

A new force had emerged within the sect, apart from the Crown Prince Hall.

The Luo Alliance!

And he was the leader of the Luo Alliance.

Whether he admitted it or not, it seemed like this was already an established fact!

“I’ve just returned from training. Since fate has brought us together, here are four bottles of Elixir Pills that should help with your cultivation.”

Since they were members of the Luo Alliance, nominally under his wing, Luo Cheng did not hesitate to retrieve four bottles of Three-star Elixir Pills and flick them with his fingers, sending them flying into the hands of the four Outer Disciples.

These low-level pills were not particularly valuable, worth merely a million taels, which to Luo Cheng now was hardly worth mentioning.

“Thank you for your generosity, Senior Brother Luo Cheng!”

While Three-star Spirit Pills were insignificant to Luo Cheng, they were rare treasures for ordinary Outer Disciples.

The faces of two of the girls lit up with uncontrollable joy.

The round-faced girl called Su Ying urged the two others behind her, “Hurry up and thank Senior Brother.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”

The two Outer Disciples finally snapped out of their daze and quickly stepped forward to express their gratitude.

“Cultivate well, strive to break through to the Awakening Vein Realm soon, and enter the Inner Sect,” Luo Cheng said encouragingly. Then, his figure shot up, heading directly toward the Inner Sect.

Su Ying turned her gaze to the two female disciples behind her, smiling playfully, “See, didn’t I say Senior Brother Luo Cheng is a good person? He’s the only one who dares to defy the Crown Prince Hall and stand up for people like us who come from humble backgrounds with average talent. Don’t you think you should consider joining the Luo Alliance?”

One of the girls hesitated, “Joining the Luo Alliance… won’t we be targeted for revenge by the Crown Prince Hall?”

Su Ying pouted, her tone indignant, “It’s not like the Crown Prince Hall hasn’t oppressed us before! All the good things are always theirs, and when we’re provoked, we have no choice but to swallow our grievances. Senior Brother Luo Cheng made me realize: so what if we come from humble backgrounds or have average talent? We are not any less than them!”

“Senior Sister Su, I want to join the Luo Alliance!”

Luo Cheng, with his keen perception, heard Su Ying’s words clearly and felt the pressure and frustration that weighed on the hearts of the sect’s lower-ranked disciples.

Thinking back, hadn’t he once been the same?

The only difference was that he had Yun Mengli to rely on back then.

“Luo Alliance…”

Initially conflicted about being the leader of the Luo Alliance, Luo Cheng now felt at ease accepting the role, and a sense of urgency welled up in his heart.

From this day forward, he was no longer alone, yet his current strength was still insufficient to bear the responsibilities that came with this position.

Unless, one day, he could truly stand equal to the Crown Prince Hall leader, Nangong Jue.

Exhaling deeply, Luo Cheng headed toward the Inner Sect.

Inner Sect Square.

Inner Sect disciples were usually busy with cultivation, either secluding themselves or training outside, so the square was rarely crowded during typical times. However, at this moment, it was bustling with activity.

Disciples swooped through the air from time to time; some bore bloodstains and radiated lingering Killing Aura, clearly fresh from battle.

“What’s going on?”

Feeling curious, Luo Cheng landed in the middle of the square.

“Eh, Luo Cheng!”

A crisp voice sounded from nearby.

Luo Cheng turned his head and noticed a tall figure with an aura as graceful as a secluded orchid approaching from the crowd—it was Core Disciple Zhu Lingmei.

“Senior Sister Zhu!”

Zhu Lingmei was an Eighth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert, and a Core Disciple. During cultivation at the Washing Body Pond, she had stepped in to resolve a conflict for him. Owing her a debt of gratitude, Luo Cheng naturally addressed her respectfully as Senior Sister.

Zhu Lingmei nodded slightly, “Haven’t seen you in the sect recently.”

“I was away training for a while.”

“Oh?” Zhu Lingmei studied Luo Cheng closely, her eyes bright and perceptive.

Due to the Primordial Breath Technique, Zhu Lingmei couldn’t discern Luo Cheng’s cultivation level, but as a swordsman who had grasped a Sword Intent Prototype, her discerning gaze inferred that a significant transformation had occurred within Luo Cheng.

Yet, she still couldn’t tell exactly what had changed.

Luo Cheng, looking at the bustling crowd, asked, “What’s happening? Why is it this lively?”

Recovering her focus, Zhu Lingmei replied, “You must have heard about the Blood Nether Sect’s extermination massacre in Wuyan City recently, right?”

Luo Cheng nodded lightly.

Perhaps no one knew of it better than him.

Zhu Lingmei continued, “That event shook the entire Three Great Sects. A short while ago, Fierce Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect Great Elder, Ren Kui, was also reportedly killed by the Blood Nether Sect near Bixiu City.”

“This enraged the higher-ups of Fierce Cloud Sect. Fear and uncertainty have permeated all the sects, as no one knows what schemes the Blood Nether Sect is planning.”

“To swiftly locate the Blood Nether Sect’s hidden stronghold in the Black Cloud Mountain Range and crush their influence in the Great Yue Dynasty, Fierce Cloud Sect has united with the major sects to issue missions, directing Inner Sect disciples into the Black Cloud Mountain Range!”

“For these missions, the sects have spared no expense. Every Blood Nether Sect disciple killed will earn generous rewards, including Contribution Points, Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Pills, Treasure, Cultivation Techniques, and more.”

“Anyone who discovers the Blood Nether Sect’s stronghold will receive three thousand sect Contribution Points and two Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pills!”

“Additionally, Fierce Cloud Sect will award a chance to enter their cultivation secret place, Crack Fire Valley, for training!”

As she spoke of the rewards for locating the Blood Nether Sect’s base, Zhu Lingmei’s eyes burned with enthusiasm, and her breathing quickened.

One sect Contribution Point was worth the equivalent of a million taels or a hundred Essence Energy Pills!

Three thousand Contribution Points were valued at over thirty billion taels!

Such wealth would tempt not just Awakening Vein Realm experts, but even Great Powers in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

The Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill was likewise extraordinary!

This pill, crafted from over a hundred rare Spiritual Medicines, required at least a Six-star Pharmacist to refine, with an exceptionally low success rate! Each pill could greatly strengthen one’s blood vitality foundation, aiding the transition into the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Every pill was a priceless treasure worth a fortune.

As for Fierce Cloud Sect’s Crack Fire Valley, its cultivating effects exceeded Xuanyuan Sect’s Washing Body Pond and Luoxia Sect’s Seven-Colored Spring.

This prominence was one of the reasons for Crack Fire Valley’s enduring reputation!

Luo Cheng had not anticipated such dramatic repercussions from his inadvertent actions. Smiling, he remarked:

“Fierce Cloud Sect is indeed generous, using the Crack Fire Valley training slots as a reward.”

Zhu Lingmei sneered coldly, “They have no choice. Fierce Cloud Sect has always prided itself as the leader among the Three Great Sects, but this blatant provocation with their elder being massacred has left them little choice but to respond. Otherwise, where would their authority lie?”

She added mockingly with a self-deprecating chuckle, “Then again, while the rewards are enticing, they are far from easy to obtain.”

“Blood Nether Sect disciples cultivate with Blood Pills, making their strength exceptional while their cruelty and deceptive tactics render them lethal adversaries. One moment of carelessness could lead to being slaughtered instead!”

Luo Cheng nodded. The Blood Nether Sect disciples he had encountered were formidable predators, relentless and filled with sinister means, far more horrifying than ordinary foes!

“On top of that, the substantial rewards have stirred intense competition among Inner Sect disciples from all major sects. With Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pills being offered, I expect even the top-ranked experts on the Xuanhe List from our Xuanyuan Sect will join the fray.”

Luo Cheng’s brow lifted, “Xuanhe List?”

Having recently joined the Inner Sect and focused on training, he knew little about many things.

Perhaps because of the bond formed while cultivating together at the Washing Body Pond, Zhu Lingmei was patient as she pointed to a massive jade pillar in the southeast corner of the square and explained:

“That’s the Xuanhe List!”

“The Xuanhe List showcases the top five hundred Inner Sect Core Disciples with the greatest strength. Each of them has reached the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm, possessed extraordinary talent, and far surpassed other cultivators of the same rank in combat prowess! Especially the top ten on the list, known as the ’Seed Disciples,’ they are the ones most likely to enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm and ascend to become True Disciples.”

She glanced at Luo Cheng meaningfully before adding, “The Eighth Prince, Jin Min, is one of the ten Seed Disciples, ranked third on the Xuanhe List!”
