Chapter 1761: Chapter 1451: Are You Willing to Take Me as Your Master?
After Liu Cai came to her senses, she quickly said, “What is the Master talking about, Sky Eagle Peak? This humble servant was sent from the main peak, I just admire the Master, which is why I did what I did today.”
At this point, she certainly couldn’t admit she was from Sky Eagle Peak. She suspected Chen Lu must have sensed something during the last assassination attempt and thus doubted she came from Sky Eagle Peak. This was just a test. Perhaps Chen Lu wasn’t sure she was indeed from Sky Eagle Peak.
If she admitted it now, she would be falling into Chen Lu’s trap.
Seeing that Liu Cai did not admit her origin, Lu Chen became even more suspicious that the person who tried to assassinate him last time was sent by Sky Eagle Peak. However, he shouldn’t have any grudges with the disciples of Sky Eagle Peak, so why would they send an assassin to kill him? Could they want him to die on Heavenly Language Peak and then sow discord between Xu Jingshu and Heavenly Language Peak?
Lu Chen then directly said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I will let the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate perform a Soul Search on you.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Cai was stunned.
Soul Search? No way!
Although she wasn’t sure how her identity was exposed, she couldn’t simply sit and wait to die now.
If soft tactics didn’t work, then she might as well take immediate action. At this close distance, if she struck with all her might, there might be a chance to kill Chen Lu.
Thinking of this, Liu Cai unhesitatingly took out an Immortal Sword from her Space Ring and stabbed directly at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had long anticipated Liu Cai would strike. The next moment, a yin-yang pattern appeared at Lu Chen’s feet.
Taichu Infinite Scripture!!!
Just as Liu Cai’s sword was about to land on Lu Chen, an invisible barrier appeared in front of him, and Liu Cai’s sword was unable to advance any further.
However, the Sword Qi emanating from this strike destroyed Lu Chen’s house, and the noise inside the room immediately caught the attention of the maidservants outside.
Liu Cai knew she had to end the fight quickly. Not to mention the maidservants outside might come in to stop her, if she couldn’t kill Chen Lu immediately, once the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate noticed, she wouldn’t have another chance.
Green Fall Yellow Spring Sword!!!
In an instant, the scene inside the room changed to one of a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, with skeletal remains everywhere. Next to Lu Chen, a river of blood flowed, with constant bubbles rising.
Immediately, countless Blood Swords flew out from the blood river next to Lu Chen, rushing straight at him, yet Lu Chen stood unmoved.
The Blood Swords halted a mere ten feet from Lu Chen, unable to advance further. Seeing this, Liu Cai’s brows furrowed.
How could this be?
As a Golden Immortal making a full-force attack against a Heavenly Immortal, how could she not even wound him?
Did he have a Life-saving Treasure from the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate on him?
Upon considering this possibility, Liu Cai’s expression became even darker, realizing that if he had such a treasure from an Immortal Venerate, it would be difficult to kill him.
Liu Cai then gripped her Longsword tighter and swung it again.
Yellow Spring Sword Intent!!!
In an instant, countless Sword Intents rushed towards Lu Chen. Although Liu Cai’s Sword Intent contained destructive energy, Lu Chen remained unmoved, continuing to use the Taichu Infinite Scripture to absorb Liu Cai’s attacks.
The next moment, the Sword Intent that Liu Cai had just unleashed vanished without a trace, like stones sinking into the sea. Sensing that her Sword Intent still hadn’t harmed Lu Chen, Liu Cai was even more certain that Lu Chen had a treasure left by the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate.
She knew the commotion here had surely drawn the attention of the maidservants outside, and it wouldn’t be long before the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate noticed as well. Since the mission failed, there was no need to stay here any longer.
With this in mind, Liu Cai prepared to flee, but unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn and leave Heavenly Language Peak, she suddenly sensed a terrifying Sword Intent behind her.
Liu Cai’s mind went blank; she quickly turned back to look, only to see countless Blood Swords charging back at her, along with the Yellow Spring Sword Intent she had just unleashed.
Liu Cai was momentarily stunned. Wasn’t that her move? How could Chen Lu use it?
With no time for further thought, Liu Cai quickly swung her sword to defend herself. However, Lu Chen had transformed the previous attacks into a single strike, which was stronger than Liu Cai’s individual attacks. She was instantly blown away, causing a violent explosion in Lu Chen’s entire courtyard, and his room was blown apart.
Lu Chen’s maidservants flew into the air, and when they saw the scene inside the room, they were all momentarily stunned.
At this point, Liu Cai was badly injured and half-kneeling in the courtyard, her eyes fixed intently on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen asked coldly, “Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?”
Liu Cai didn’t reply; she only let out a cold laugh and took out a Space Transmission Talisman, disappearing on the spot the next moment.
Seeing Liu Cai vanish, the other maidservants descended from the sky, though none dared to approach Lu Chen. They assumed Lu Chen had discovered the main peak’s purpose in sending them, which led him to fight one of the girls.
Lu Chen glanced at his wrecked room and then said to the maidservants, “The repairs will be your responsibility.”
The maidservants quickly responded, “Yes, Master!”
Once they spoke, the maidservants swiftly set about repairing the courtyard. Then, suddenly, a terrifying force rushed towards Lu Chen. Before he could respond, everything went black before his eyes.
When light returned, Lu Chen found himself in the bedchamber of the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate. Seeing the Immortal Venerate in front of him, he paused, then asked, “I wonder why the Immortal Venerate is seeking me?”
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate studied Lu Chen with an impassive expression, not answering his question, but with a hint of confusion on her face.
After a while, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate finally spoke, “Would you be willing to take me as your master?”
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate typically did not take disciples casually, especially male ones. Her previous Direct Disciples were all qualified to become a Saintess, but now she was considering taking a male disciple.
Initially, she felt Lu Chen was not worthy of Xu Jingshu, since Xu Jingshu was her Direct Disciple and the mother of the Saintess, enjoying considerable status in the Mysterious Moon Palace.
However, after the previous assassination attempt, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate’s impression of Lu Chen changed slightly. A Heavenly Immortal capable of withstanding attacks from several Golden Immortals and even convincing them to admit their wrongdoing here indicated Lu Chen had some capabilities and resourcefulness.
This time, after Liu Cai clashed with Lu Chen, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate watched the whole event. Because of the previous incident, she worried there would be another assassination attempt on Lu Chen, so she had a Split Soul keeping an eye on him.
Having watched the battle between Lu Chen and Liu Cai, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerate deemed his potential immense, so she directly brought him to the Mysterious Moon Palace to thoroughly examine his Qi Fortune.
