Chapter 723: Turns Out He's Just a Loose Cultivator
As Lu Chen severely injured Chu Qingli, he simultaneously attempted to control the puppets of the Ziyang World. The movement of the puppets was not greatly affected, although as the distance increased, their strength seemed to diminish slightly.
Chu Qingli clearly felt that Lu Chen was not fully focused; he would act sporadically, stirring things up before pausing, ostensibly lost in thought.
It was obvious that he had approached her with intentions to be intimate, but even then, he had not been earnest, his mind wandering to other matters while they were supposed to be serious; this left Chu Qingli quite dissatisfied.
Then, Chu Qingli activated her Mysterious Female Technique. Just as Lu Chen was distracted, she felt a surge of oppressive force, and he immediately snapped back to reality, looking down intently at Chu Qingli's delicate face.
Seeing the resentment in her eyes, Lu Chen gave a slight smile and then focused his attention on Chu Qingli.
Before long, Chu Qingli began begging for mercy. Although she had not wanted Lu Chen to divert his attention elsewhere, as soon as he concentrated, she immediately couldn't handle it.
Soon, evening approached in the Ziyang World.
After sensing a surge in the Demonic Qi from the sealed area, Lu Chen's physical self stopped what he was doing and didn't continue.
Lu Chen turned over while holding Chu Qingli, letting her rest on his chest, then said, "I have something to attend to, if you still want more, you can come to me."
Hearing this, Chu Qingli snorted lightly. What nonsense! Her mind was still in a complete haze.
Chu Qingli then lifted her arm and embraced Lu Chen's robust waist, quietly lying on his chest without moving.
This was quite nice too, maintaining that close contact allowed them to feel each other without overwhelming sensations.
However, Chu Qingli was curious. Lu Chen said he had something to do; what could that be?
If he had something to do, what was he still doing here?
He had already been absent-minded.
Although curious, Chu Qingli did not ask further. Simply being one with him like this was quite nice.
Meanwhile.
In Ziyang World, Black Moon City.
Lu Chen's puppet had still not left the room when a maid stepped up to the door and said, "Sir, the Demonic Tide is approaching, the City Lord asks you to come to the city tower."
Hearing this, Lu Chen responded immediately, "Alright, I'm on my way."
Then, Lu Chen controlled the puppet to head towards the city tower of Black Moon City.
When Lu Chen arrived next to Ji Qiuyu, he saw a man in golden armor standing by her side, displaying a sycophantic smile.
"Qiuyu, I heard there was trouble at the sealed demon area, so I brought people over immediately. Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems."
Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced again at Ji Qiuyu's expression and saw her look of impatience, instantly grasping the situation.
It seemed this man was one of Ji Qiuyu's suitors.
Then, Lu Chen approached Ji Qiuyu and said, "Lord Ji, I'm here."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Bai Wenbin, looking displeased, said, "Can't you see I'm discussing how to handle the Demonic Tide with Lord Ji? What are you interrupting for!"
As he finished speaking, Bai Wenbin turned and glared at Lu Chen, but when he sensed the aura emanating from Lu Chen, he furrowed his brow.
He realized this person also possessed the strength of the Creation Realm. He had thought it was some tactless soldier interrupting them, only to discover it was actually a Creation Realm Cultivator.
This realization instantly unsettled Bai Wenbin.
The most important thing was that he had apparently never seen this man before?
Bai Wenbin asked with a dark expression, "Who are you?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "My name is Lu Chen, and I am a Loose Cultivator who came to Black Moon City to investigate the situation at the Sealed Demon Grounds."
Hearing Lu Chen's response, Bai Wenbin sighed with relief, realizing it was just a Loose Cultivator, so there was nothing to fear.
Just a mere Loose Cultivator, not even capable of competing with him for a woman.
After all, he was a General of the Great Chu Dynasty, commanding over a hundred thousand soldiers in Qinshui County.
At that moment, Ji Qiuyu turned around, glanced at Lu Chen, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I trouble you for tonight."
Hearing Ji Qiuyu's words, Bai Wenbin immediately became unhappy; he had brought tens of thousands of troops to help Black Moon City withstand the Demonic Tide, yet Ji Qiuyu was indifferent toward him, but now she was thanking a Loose Cultivator.
Bai Wenbin then said, "Qiuyu, he's just a Loose Cultivator, what role can he possibly play?"
Ji Qiuyu replied indifferently, "One more Creation Realm adds one more strength."
"Alright, I'm going to conduct a patrol."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qiuyu flew away, leaving Bai Wenbin and Lu Chen standing there, with Bai Wenbin looking at Lu Chen with a look full of disdain.
However, he didn't say much to Lu Chen since he didn't see any ill intentions from Lu Chen, nor did he regard this Loose Cultivator as a competitor; it was just that he had been disturbed by Lu Chen just now, and he harbored a strong resentment towards him.
Bai Wenbin snorted coldly and then immediately followed Ji Qiuyu.
Seeing Bai Wenbin following behind Ji Qiuyu, Lu Chen chuckled. Ji Qiuyu was the first woman he had met in the Ziyang World with a score over ninety; she was destined to be his woman, and no amount of fawning from Bai Wenbin would help.
However, his true form was still in Tianchen World, so turning Ji Qiuyu into his woman would take some time.
At that moment, Lu Chen turned his head toward the Sealed Demon Grounds; the Demon Qi soared into the sky, and within the forest, black figures were slowly moving towards Black Moon City.
Lu Chen carefully investigated and discovered that those black figures were various animals, leading him to wonder if the lack of living creatures in the mountain was because these animals had been demonized?
Demonic creatures causing the surge, so it's called a Demonic Tide, right? Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
Lu Chen noticed that the soldiers' weapons seemed unusual, all black in color, with black arrowheads that seemed to emit black Qi.
Lu Chen then asked a soldier, "Young man, what material are your weapons made of?"
The soldier looked puzzled, not understanding why someone wouldn't know what material these weapons were made of, but he answered honestly, "Sir, our weapons are made from black gold."
Lu Chen curiously asked, "Black gold? What is it used for?"
The soldier answered, "Black gold can suppress Demonic Qi, like this..."
Before the soldier could finish, Lu Chen interrupted, "Oh, I see, I understand now."
Speaking of suppressing Demonic Qi, Lu Chen understood what it was about; he then took an arrow from the soldier's quiver and closely examined the black gold material on the arrowhead.
Such a material didn't exist in Tianchen World. When the two worlds merged, he would definitely arrange for the Daxia Army to also be equipped with weapons made from this black gold metal, like adding black gold fragments to bombs or bullets so that when encountering Demon Cultivators, the Daxia Army needn't fear.
As Lu Chen was thinking about the black gold material, a loud drum sound suddenly erupted from the city walls.
The commanding officer then shouted loudly,
"The Demonic Tide has arrived! Prepare for attack!"
