Chapter 1664: Chapter 1354: Could She Also Meet the System’s Requirements?

Feeling that Lu Chen’s aura was already extremely weak and seemingly on the verge of collapse, Tan Cang laughed loudly and said, “It seems I’ve guessed right; there’s actually no Protector following this kid!”

Seeing that Lu Chen was already heavily injured and still no Protector appeared, Zou Jingtong couldn’t help but wonder, could it really be that, as Tan Cang suspected, Chen Lu truly had no Protector behind him?

But how is that possible?

Chen Lu is, after all, the direct disciple of the Hall Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace. The Hall Master would not leave her direct disciple without a Protector; is this the treatment a direct disciple should receive?

Or did the Hall Master never consider Chen Lu as her direct disciple from the start? After all, the Mysterious Moon Palace only recruits female disciples, and taking in Chen Lu, a male disciple, is a first.

Perhaps the Hall Master only valued something on Chen Lu, and thus pretended to recruit him as a direct disciple, not caring about his life or death?

Thinking of this, Zou Jingtong suddenly became more interested in Lu Chen, so he immediately said to Tan Cang, “Elder Tan, keep his Divine Soul!”

Tan Cang said, “No need to worry, I know what to do.”

After all, this person is the direct disciple of the Hall Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, and before an all-out war breaks out between the Mysterious Moon Palace and Blood Eagle Hall, this person might still be of some use.

Thinking of this, Tan Cang prepared to make a move again, but at this moment, Lu Chen calmly asked, “You came to Snow Peak City so quickly; the Purple Illusion Sect must not be far from Snow Peak City, right?”

Although Lu Chen had waited in Snow Peak City for a few days before they arrived, in a few days’ journey for a True Immortal, an Immortal King could reach here in a mere blink.

He didn’t want to waste the power of the Immortal King’s Remain Curse for nothing. Since it was going to be used, he wanted to unleash its full power. Using it once only to kill a few True Immortals felt like a waste to him.

The last time he used the Immortal King’s Remain Curse in the Land of Chaos to kill a True Immortal felt like such a waste to him, but there was nothing he could do, his Realm was too low, and with his strength, he couldn’t kill a True Immortal.

If he’s going to use it, he needs to use this power well, not waste it as before.

If he used it now and then had to use it again when the rest of the Purple Illusion Sect arrived, it would just be another wasted opportunity.

Once he uses the Immortal King’s Remain Curse, it would transmit a certain amount of Immortal King’s Power to Lu Chen, and whether or not Lu Chen fully utilized it, it would dissipate after a certain time.

Seeing Lu Chen’s unchanging expression, even asking about the distance between the Purple Illusion Sect and Snow Peak City, Zou Jingtong and the others instantly felt something was wrong.

By logic, at this point, this person should be very scared. He wasn’t afraid at all; instead, he was interested in the distance between the Purple Illusion Sect and Snow Peak City?

Tan Cang sneered and said, “You’re a dying man; there’s no need for you to know so much!”

As he spoke, Tan Cang swung a hammer down on Lu Chen again, though with much less force this time. Though he said Lu Chen was a dying man, he still hoped to capture Lu Chen’s Divine Soul.

Currently, Chen Lu’s Divine Soul held great value for Blood Eagle Hall. If he could bring back Chen Lu’s Divine Soul to the special envoy of Blood Eagle Hall, it would be a big achievement; perhaps the envoy would reward them with High Tier Evil Techniques.

This time, Lu Chen didn’t swing his sword or dodge; he just quietly watched the giant hammer descending toward him from the sky.

Seeing this, Zou Jingtong suddenly felt a twinge of unease.

Too calm…

Chen Lu appeared too calm; not at all what you’d expect from someone at death’s door.

Something’s wrong…

Even when the hammer fell, creating a dust storm that rose for ten thousand meters, there was nothing unusual underneath, making Zou Jingtong wonder, was he just overthinking?

Did Chen Lu realize he couldn’t escape and thus gave up resisting?

Tan Cang, seeing Lu Chen put up no resistance and got hit by his hammer, couldn’t help but worry, “This kid’s Divine Soul… did I destroy it too?”

As Tan Cang finished speaking, suddenly, an overwhelming pressure burst forth from within the ten-thousand-meter-tall dust storm, causing Zou Jingtong and others to plummet from the sky.

Feeling this terrifying pressure, Zou Jingtong and the others’ faces changed drastically. Pressed down on the ground, Zou Jingtong muttered, “Protector… it must be his Protector!!!”

Another Immortal, with a pale face, said, “It’s over, Chen Lu actually has a Protector…”

At this time, it was Tan Cang, who had struck, whose face looked the most unpleasant. Half-kneeling on the ground, he tried to find an opportunity to escape. In the next moment, the overwhelming power swept away the dust, revealing Lu Chen’s figure in the air.

At this moment, Lu Chen’s clothes had repaired themselves, and the blood stains and wounds on his body had vanished.

Zou Jingtong and others looked up at Lu Chen in the sky, each bewildered.

Chen Lu…

This aura was emitted by Chen Lu?

How is this possible?

How could Chen Lu have such strength?

This pressure could only be released by at least an Immortal Monarch.

Zou Jingtong said, “You are not Chen Lu… Who are you!”

In Zou Jingtong and the others’ view, they likely mistook him for someone else, and he was merely pretending to acknowledge Chen Lu’s identity to toy with them.

Lu Chen said indifferently, “You don’t need to know. Alright, it’s time to send you on your way!”

As he spoke, Lu Chen waved his hand, and a giant palm descended from the sky, crushing the earth.

As the dust settled, Lu Chen instantly appeared on the ground. Zou Jingtong wasn’t entirely dead, with only a wisp of his Divine Soul remaining. Sensing Lu Chen’s aura, the wisp attempted to flee into the distance.

Lu Chen raised his hand, and a terrifying suction emerged from his palm. Without hesitation, Lu Chen used the Soul Searching Technique on Zou Jingtong.

When Lu Chen saw the red-haired woman within Zou Jingtong’s Divine Soul, he was slightly lost in thought.

She wore a form-fitting red dress, exuding a mature and cold allure. She was charming yet not excessively alluring, her charms were subtle and unassuming.

As for her beauty, it was stunning to the extent of being Celestial.

Lu Chen murmured, “Is the special envoy of Blood Eagle Hall really that beautiful? Could she meet the system’s criteria?”

He could only perceive Xu Jingshu’s presence through Zou Jingtong’s Divine Soul, so the system hadn’t reacted. To know if she met the system’s criteria, he would have to visit the Purple Illusion Sect personally.

Of course, even if she didn’t meet the criteria, Lu Chen would still go to the Purple Illusion Sect.
