Chapter 461: Chapter 137: News About Luo Yao, Leader of the Luo Alliance!

Luo Cheng slept soundly and only woke up the next day when the sun was high in the sky.

“My spirit has finally recovered. This is the first time I’ve felt so exhausted.”

Sitting up from the bed, Luo Cheng pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Tempering the sharpness of his sword intent with the Sword King’s Will was indeed a shortcut.

But it was extremely exhausting and placed a tremendous burden on the mind and spirit.

Even with Luo Cheng’s soul power intensity, he couldn’t sustain it for long periods.

“It seems I’ll have to purchase more elixirs to restore my essence, qi, and spirit; otherwise, I won’t be able to support the cultivation of my sword intent.”

Luo Cheng murmured to himself.

Right now, he was running low on Awakening God Pills.

After hastily washing up, Luo Cheng stepped out of the great hall. He paused for a moment to admire the tidal waves of the cloud sea and silently hoped: May the Martial Storage Hall have swordsmanship suitable for my cultivation!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng turned and headed down the mountain.

Buzz!

Just as he descended Mengli Peak, the Lingxiao Jade Token at his waist suddenly began to tremble. Faint profound light flickered across the pavilion engraved on the token.

“Hmm?”

Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised and probed the Lingxiao Jade Token with his soul power.

Immediately, a line of text appeared within the space of the token.

“The fragmented copy of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique has been found, currently in Linjiang City.”

“The Heavenly Fall Sword Technique has been located!”

Luo Cheng’s mind was shaken; he hadn’t expected Luo Yao to bring him such tremendous news!

Although he had decided to switch to cultivating other sword techniques, he still felt deep regret in his heart.

With the first four moves of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique as a foundation, cultivating the subsequent sword skills would undoubtedly yield twice the results with half the effort.

Furthermore, judging by the first four moves, the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique was extraordinary!

Luo Cheng estimated that the complete thirteen styles of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique might very well reach the Nine-star Level—perhaps even surpass it!

“This news couldn’t be more timely!”

Excited, Luo Cheng decided to set off for Linjiang City immediately.

However, he didn’t leave right away.

Luo Cheng turned toward the Outer Sect’s Beast Taming Peak.

With his current cultivation, he was capable of flying thousands of miles in a single day.

He no longer required the Flame Jade Lion for travel.

However, just because it was useless to him didn’t mean it was useless to others.

With his grandfather’s birthday approaching, Luo Cheng planned to bring the Flame Jade Lion back to the Luo Family as a gift for his grandfather.

Along the mountain path, Inner Sect disciples occasionally passed by.

In the past, these Inner Sect disciples wouldn’t even spare Luo Cheng a glance.

Today, however, things were slightly different.

Several Inner Sect disciples enthusiastically greeted Luo Cheng as he walked by.

Even the disciples of the Crown Prince Hall wore somewhat inexplicable expressions.

Luo Cheng found this strange but didn’t dwell on it.

His thoughts were already directed toward Linjiang City.

But as he entered the Outer Sect, the situation became even more surprising.

“Senior Brother Luo Cheng!”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Luo Cheng!”

Upon seeing Luo Cheng, Outer Sect disciples greeted him; some even bowed deeply, displaying utmost respect.

Luo Cheng nodded in acknowledgment but felt greatly puzzled in his heart.

Given his enmity with the Crown Prince Hall, people used to avoid him at all costs.

When had he suddenly become so popular?

Their expressions of reverence even reminded Luo Cheng of the time when Jin Min, the Eighth Prince, had appeared in the Outer Sect.

At that moment, Luo Cheng spotted Chen Lingyu among the crowd. He hurried over and led her onto a small path.

Seeing through Luo Cheng’s thoughts, Chen Lingyu smiled charmingly, “How does it feel to be revered by everyone?”

Luo Cheng waved his hand dismissively and said, “What’s going on here?”

Chen Lingyu chuckled and explained, “Isn’t it all because of the astonishing feats you’ve accomplished? Publicly killing an Outer Elder and escaping unscathed, defeating Hua Jingyang in combat, stirring up waves in the Inner Sect, and then, with a single strike, beating Yuan Qianyu, the younger brother of Yuan Qingying.”

“Which one of these events isn’t earth-shattering? Even the elders praise you as an exceptional Sword Dao genius. Now, many Outer Sect disciples regard you as their idol.”

Luo Cheng frowned, “It can’t be just that, though!”

“Indeed, it isn’t.”

Chen Lingyu dropped her playful tone and said, “You know that within the sect, the Crown Prince Hall has always wielded immense influence. Many disciples with ordinary backgrounds and talent are often suppressed and hold grievances.”

Your emergence has been like a flame, igniting their spirits. Furthermore, with Yun Mengli officially competing with Nangong Jue for the Sect Master position, these disciples have spontaneously banded together. Now, besides the Crown Prince Hall, a new force has risen within the sect.

Luo Cheng nodded in understanding.

The Crown Prince Hall exclusively recruited disciples with noble statuses and extraordinary talent.

This left ordinary disciples squeezed out and resentful—though they dared not voice their discontent until now.

Chen Lingyu blinked her eyes mischievously, “Do you know what this new force is called?”

“What is it called?”

“Luo Alliance!”

“Luo Alliance?”

Luo Cheng was stunned and hesitantly pointed to himself, “I’m not the leader of this Luo Alliance, am I?”

At this, Chen Lingyu rolled her eyes, “What do you think? Who else in Xuanyuan Sect would dare openly oppose the Crown Prince Hall?”

Luo Cheng suddenly understood; no wonder the Outer Sect disciples were looking at him that way.

This situation had placed him squarely in the heart of the storm.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’m also a member of the Luo Alliance now!” Chen Lingyu said, laughing.

“Why are you jumping on this bandwagon?”

“This isn’t just a random bandwagon.”

Chen Lingyu shook her head, her expression serious. “I’ve never liked the lofty, condescending attitude of the Crown Prince Hall. To be honest, I’ve long admired your bravery. Despite your cultivation being subpar initially, you dared to defy the Crown Prince Hall and refused to yield. That decisiveness and boldness—something I don’t possess—make you the rightful leader of the Luo Alliance. Everyone follows you wholeheartedly.”

Luo Cheng smiled wryly.

If he were the leader of the Luo Alliance and Nangong Jue led the Crown Prince Hall, wouldn’t their enmity be fated?

Still, he had already crossed Nangong Jue. At some point, they would have to determine who stood higher. With this additional identity, it made little difference.

“The name Luo Alliance doesn’t sound intimidating. They call themselves the Crown Prince Hall; we should aim higher than them.”

Luo Cheng shook his head, saying, “Hmm, it should be called the Emperor Alliance.”

Chen Lingyu burst into laughter:

“The Emperor Alliance? How bold of you to propose that. The title ’Emperor’ is not something to be used lightly; rumors say it invites calamity.”

Luo Cheng grinned, “I’m just joking.”

“Are you planning to leave the sect?”

“That’s right. I’m planning to visit home.”

Chen Lingyu nodded, “You should head home. During the two months you went missing, the Luo Family from Qishan City came to inquire about your whereabouts three times.”

“Really?”

Luo Cheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Alright, I’ll be off to cultivate.”

Chen Lingyu bid farewell.

She had been in seclusion recently, and her cultivation had reached a bottleneck. She planned to take the Meridian Opening Pill Luo Cheng had gifted her to break through to the Awakening Vein Realm!

Watching Chen Lingyu’s figure disappear into the distance, Luo Cheng exhaled deeply:

“Luo Alliance… Looks like I need to quickly strengthen myself.”

With his current strength, he wasn’t qualified to contend openly with the Crown Prince Hall.

Heading to the Beast Taming Peak, Luo Cheng retrieved the Flame Jade Lion.

“Hyah!”

At the mountain gate, Luo Cheng lightly tapped the lion’s flank with his legs and sped away through the dust.

As soon as Luo Cheng left, an Outer Sect disciple from the Xuanyuan Sect quietly ran to a hidden corner. He carefully pulled out a small bird with three pairs of fiery red wings from his chest.

Swoosh!

The bird flapped its wings once, fast as lightning, disappearing instantly into the clouds.
