Chapter 1984

The Luo family was once the overlord of the Third Mainland. It was also an ancient family with a long history. Although it could not be compared to the Heavenly Assassins Alliance, it had experienced several invasions without declining.

Such a huge force naturally had its own city. However, the Luo family had suffered a great loss in this invasion. Now, all the Luo family cultivators had retreated back to the Luo family's main city.

The Luo family's main city was called Luo Bu City. It was named after the Luo family's first Saint, Luo Bu.

Zi Chen's target this time was Luo Bu City. He wanted to go there to ask for an explanation.

Looking at the Luo family's main city from afar, Zi Chen was slightly startled. He saw that such a huge city was shrouded in a misty light.

The misty light was a kind of energy. It supported the city, causing it to float between reality and illusion. It was like a mirage that could disappear at any time.

Seeing the almost completely illusory city in front of him, Black Tiger shook his head and said, "It seems that they already guessed that you would come. The entire city has been sealed by a great array."

Narrowing his eyes, Zi Chen could not help but sneer. Even if it was a self-sealing city, the Luo family still had to give an explanation.

Looking at the floating city in front of him, Zi Chen stepped forward. Golden light began to flow around his body.

The golden light flowed through his body like water. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Zi Chen's body.

Zi Chen's body shone with golden light. His powerful aura filled the world. At this moment, his figure became incomparably tall, like the ruler of heaven and earth.

His expression was cold. He took a step forward. The world trembled, the space constantly distorted, and the terrifying aura continued to wreak havoc.

The huge city between reality and illusion became more and more blurry as the world trembled.

Hum.

Golden energy gushed out from Zi Chen's body. It turned into a true dragon in front of him and rushed toward the illusory city.

The golden true dragon moved forward. The space distorted. It entered the space and touched the array, causing the entire city to tremble.

"It's a true dragon. A true dragon has come."

"That's Zi Chen. He's here. He was the one who summoned the True Dragon."

"Why did he summon a true dragon? Is he going to attack the city?"

The golden dragon tore through space and appeared outside the formation. Its cold and emotionless eyes stared at the cultivators on the city wall through the formation.

The guards on the city wall were shocked to see the True Dragon suddenly appear. At the same time, they saw Zi Chen in the outside world through the space and the array formation.

When they saw Zi Chen, they immediately recognized Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's reputation was like the sun in the sky, and he was almost recognized as the strongest Heaven Defying Cultivator. His portrait had already spread throughout the Zhan Wu Continent, and it could be said that he was a household name.

Zi Chen's appearance in the outside world immediately caused a small commotion. Many cultivators on the city walls were shocked as they looked at the golden dragon warily. At the same time, there were other cultivators who hurried to report the news.

"What's there to panic about? Isn't it just Zi Chen? He can't come here to kill us. Even if he has the guts to come in, with this great array, I guarantee that he won't be able to return."

On the city wall, a captain of the False Heaven squad looked at the panicked crowd and said coldly.

At the same time, he ignored the golden dragon and stared directly at Zi Chen in the outside world with a provocative look.

"Bang."

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind. With unstoppable power, it fell on the head of the False Heaven squad leader. Powerful energy surged, and the False Heaven squad leader's body exploded.

"Who's stealing … My lord … Why is it you?"

When his body was reassembled, the Fake Heaven Squad Leader's face was filled with shock and anger. However, when he turned around and saw the middle-aged man standing behind him, his expression immediately changed. The anger on his face instantly turned into a flattering smile.

The middle-aged man had the strength of the Heaven Realm. He stared indifferently at the squad leader and said coldly, "If you want to die, get out of here yourself. Don't implicate the Luo family."

"Ah!"

Hearing such a cold tone, the False Heaven squad leader was startled and hurriedly said, "My lord, I just can't stand Zi Chen's behavior and said a few words casually. This Zi Chen can't kill his way in because of this, and besides …"

The False Heaven squad leader originally wanted to say that there was a great array, but when he saw his lord's increasingly indifferent and even murderous expression, he abruptly choked back his words.

Ignoring the False Heaven squad leader, the middle-aged man glanced at the golden dragon outside the array with a touch of fear in his eyes. In fact, the golden dragon wasn't that scary. As long as he activated the great array, he could crush it. What really frightened him was Zi Chen outside.

As a member of the upper echelon of the family, he naturally knew the purpose of Zi Chen's visit and also knew that Zi Chen had broken the family's legend.

At this moment, on the city wall, he didn't dare to look Zi Chen in the eye for fear that Zi Chen would see through him. He could only wait quietly for the patriarch to appear.

… …

… …

Zi Chen's appearance was followed by cries of alarm, and the news quickly spread throughout Luobu City.

The Luo family members who had retreated didn't know why the city had been completely sealed. Now that they had reconciled with the other races and the entire Luo family was cooperating in the search for Zi Chen, they shouldn't have been so cautious.

But as news of Zi Chen's arrival spread, these people seemed to understand the reason for the city's lockdown.

It was ironic that a powerful family that had existed for eons had chosen to seal themselves off completely after going up against Zi Chen.

But at the same time, one could see how powerful Zi Chen was.

… …

… …

Ever since Luo Yao returned from the First Mainland and informed them of the results of the negotiations, the entire Luobu City had chosen to be completely sealed.

At this moment, the highest standard meeting hall of the Luo family was already filled with people, but strangely, no one spoke. The atmosphere was very stifling.

After a long silence, the patriarch, Luo Meng, spoke up. "Everyone, Luo Yao has returned in defeat. Based on Zi Chen's personality, this matter will not be easily resolved. What has everyone encountered?"

Luo Yao wasn't just a powerhouse in the family, his bloodline was also perfectly compatible with the family's forging. It was said that he was the most likely existence to reach the height of the Luo Bu Ancestor. He was the Luo family's hope and was also the legend of the Luo family's forging arts. He was destined to go down in history.

But in the battle with Zi Chen, two Heaven-grade weapons had exploded, and Luo Yao, who had luckily escaped, returned with heavy injuries. The Luo family's hope had been extinguished, and the legend of the forging arts had been shattered.

The group of Heaven Realm elders looked at each other in dismay. This battle had really been a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. While suffering heavy losses, they still had to worry about Zi Chen coming to cause trouble.

Logically speaking, as an ancient aristocratic family with a long history of inheritance, everyone in the family should be proud and arrogant. However, their opponent this time was Zi Chen, who was known as the strongest Heaven-Defying Cultivator. They could not be arrogant at all.

If it wasn't for the great temptation offered by Ji Wei, they wouldn't have dared to provoke Zi Chen.

Moreover, as a former overlord, the Luo family naturally knew that after Luo Yao's defeat, the Heavenly Assassins Alliance had also made a move and suffered heavy losses.

"If Zi Chen really comes, we might be able to try the Ultimate Killing Formation," a young elder said in the silent atmosphere.

As soon as he said this, the other elders looked up at him with astonishment.

"Luo Chui, are you crazy? Activating the Ultimate Killing Formation would mean completely falling out with Zi Chen." Luo Meng was also a little dumbfounded.

"Isn't it recorded in the ancient books that our family's formation can trap a Saint?"

"That's just a record, but it's never been proven. If we do this, we'll be sacrificing the lives of all the Luo family to test the power of this formation."

"Of course there's a risk, but I believe in the power of this formation. If it really traps Zi Chen, we'll have profited greatly."

"If it can't trap him, the Luo family will be completely finished."

Looking at Luo Chui, Luo Meng said snappily, "Don't expect the other forces to help. Let me tell you, when the time comes, it'll be good if they don't help Zi Chen destroy us."

Naturally, no one agreed with this question. All the elders shook their heads. Putting aside the benefits, it was obviously not worth it to sacrifice an ancient family just to test the power of the formation.

Although Zi Chen wasn't a Saint, he wasn't an ordinary Heaven Realm expert either.

"If Zi Chen really comes, then let's do as we originally said. Although it's a loss of reputation, it's still better than losing the entire family," an elder said.

"I'm just afraid that Zi Chen won't leave so easily."

Just as everyone was discussing, a voice came from outside.

Zi Chen had arrived.

The expressions of the Heaven Realm elders all changed. While they were still discussing, the other side had already arrived. As expected, it was very fast.

"Let's go."

Since the main character had arrived, there was no point in discussing further. Luo Meng led a group of elders out of the hall.

Arriving at the city wall, Luo Meng saw the golden dragon outside the formation and Zi Chen outside.

Looking at the cold expression of Zi Chen, Luo Meng couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them could be considered old acquaintances. Back then, for the Universal Origin Cauldron, he had led the Heaven Realm experts to hunt down Zi Chen. Midway, he had almost fallen out with the Five Elements Family because of a stinky monk.

That was when Luo Meng, and also when the Luo family had been the closest to the Universal Origin Cauldron in history.

Unfortunately, Saint Rosefinch had protected Zi Chen at the crucial moment.

Things had changed with the passage of time. The small fake Heaven Realm expert they had chased back then was now a threat to the entire Luo family.

The Luo family had even sealed the city because of him.

"Zi Chen, the other races are looking for you. Why aren't you hiding? What are you doing here?" Luo Meng asked as his gaze fell on Zi Chen outside.

"You should know why I'm here," said the golden dragon outside the formation.

Zi Chen didn't come in. His voice couldn't penetrate the formation space, so he could only use the dragon's voice.

Luo Meng looked confused. "Zi Chen, what do you mean by this?"

A trace of impatience flashed in the dragon's eyes. Zi Chen said, "Cut the crap. If you want to protect Luobu City, hand over Luo Yao."

"Luo Yao? Why are you looking for Luo Yao? He hasn't returned from the First Continent."

Luo Meng's face showed a trace of astonishment.

The golden dragon's cold dragon eyes revealed a trace of disdain. Zi Chen's mocking voice rang out. "I didn't expect that the head of an aristocratic family of inheritance would learn to play the fool. If your ancestors knew, they would be very pleased."
