Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
Chapter 438: Secret Development
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 89%, do you want to read it?'
The damage was quite high. But the previous fight was a life-and-death battle. Facing a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, he would be the one who was slower. So when he attacked, he didn't think about it at all. He just killed him as quickly as possible.
Gray air flowed in along his arms, and two obsessions flashed by.
Chen Luo just glanced at it and skipped over it. They were all family-related scenes and were of no value to Chen Luo.
Surface.
The pale-faced man has disappeared.
This guy was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. When he saw that the situation was not right, he chose to run away.
Cutting the grass must remove the roots.
If we let this person get away, wouldn't we have no peace of mind if we invite the likes of Xingzhe Sun and Xingzhe Sun?
Chen Luo stood on the water, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the place where the pale-faced male cultivator had stood before, and a wisp of light blue air was taken out from the void. His brain, which was good at tracking, quickly became active, and from the remaining breath in the air, he determined the direction in which the pale-faced man escaped.
"Southwest, Blood Escape Technique."
"Using the Jiaolong Movement Technique, we can catch up in half a quarter of an hour."
The figure flashed and disappeared.
After a moment, another violent fluctuation of magical power was heard, and then there was no movement.
After killing the people, Chen Luo searched around and made sure that no one was missed before returning to the seventh city.
When they returned to the yard, Zhao Qian and Wang Kuan had both died. Under the control of the soul-parasitic insect, they both died peacefully.
After the death of these two people, Chen Luo couldn't live a leisurely life for a long time.
This result also made Chen Luo think about training his own subordinates. In the past, they were all attached to the sect and accepted some disciples. Most of the subordinates belonged to the sect. Although they listened to him, they had big problems with loyalty. Everyone had their own little calculations. When necessary, they would even make the same decision as Wang Kuan and the others to harm him as the "master".
In addition to things inside the door, you should also pay attention to things outside the door.
The woman in the red skirt and the pale-faced male cultivator are obviously affiliated with another force, and the influence of this force may be quite large.
Two Yuanyings were killed, especially the girl in the red dress.
From his previous conversation with the pale-faced woman, it can be seen that the identity and status of the red-dressed woman are not ordinary. The death of such a person will definitely cause a huge impact. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to bring disaster upon oneself and be forced into some trouble.
Fortunately, Chen Luo handled the aftermath. Since he became rich, he only made a mistake in his aftermath once, but after he made up for it, there have been no problems since then.
"The sect must be very sad to have lost so many Heart Demon Stones. When Uncle Hei comes back, I will report this to him and ask him to report it to the sect leader."
Chen Luo touched the Dongtian Gourd, his face filled with grief.
All the Heart Demon Stones were stolen by the pale-faced monk!
What he has here are the confiscated stolen goods, which are not the same as the stolen items in the gate.
Time passed, and half a month passed in a flash.
The impact of the red skirt woman's death began to spread, and the Heart Demon Sect was in turmoil. Some people of unknown origin entered the Heart Demon Realm. This incident alarmed the Heart Demon Sect Master, and the elusive Emperor Sect Master came out for a rare visit.
The theft of the Heart Demon Stone reported by Chen Luo also caused a huge impact. The sect specially sent a Nascent Soul elder to investigate. Unfortunately, the investigation process was not smooth. The Seventh City was the power of the third generation of the old sect master. The investigating elder was rejected as soon as he came in, and many subsequent actions could not be carried out.
He only met Chen Luo, the person involved, once.
Through the black paper records provided by Chen Luo, the investigating elders tracked down the great elder. From this step on, the case of the theft of the Heart Demon Stone changed its nature and inexplicably became a contest between three forces.
Chen Luo didn't care about the above matters, and he returned to his peaceful life.
Taking advantage of this free time, he promoted two of his subordinates again and gave them two soul-hosting Gu. One of them was named Hu Shan and the other was named Hu Si, both of whom were old men in Wenxiang Pavilion.
Many of the things that Zhao Qian and Wang Kuan handled were also handled by them. When they were promoted, they were still in the foundation building stage. With Chen Luo's reward, their cultivation broke through the bottleneck and condensed the blood pill. Now they are devoted to Chen Luo, and their loyalty is higher than that of the Heart Demon Sect.
"Master."
Hu Si walked in from outside.
“Among the casual cultivators around here, there are only three of them who have a relatively clean foundation and are above the Jindan stage.” Hu Si put down the jade book in his hand. He has been helping Chen Luo collect information on casual cultivators recently.
Chen Luo, who decided to create a force, naturally set his sights on the independent cultivators.
Cultivating it from scratch would be too slow, so he decided to take a shortcut.
With the Soul Parasite Gu, there was no need to worry about loyalty. Chen Luo thought people from other forces could also join the group if necessary. However, in the initial stage, he planned to keep a low profile.
"Have you been in contact with it?"
Chen Luo took a glance and threw the jade book aside.
"Two people agreed to join us, but they both put forward their requirements. The remaining one said he would think about it." Hu Si repeated the requests of several people.
"That makes sense. Have they taken the 'Evergreen Pill'?"
Changqingdan is a fake medicine made by Chen Luo. It has no effect. Its only function is to help him send the soul-parasitic Gu into the opponent's body. This is also the premise of his "recruiting talents".
"I ate them all."
"They are our own people. Go and help them deal with it. If you can't solve it, come back to me."
"yes."
After making simple arrangements, Hu Si hurried out.
Not long after, Hu Shan also walked in. Like Hu Si, Hu Shan also had a jade book in his hand. The difference was that it recorded the recent news from the upper realm.
"The First Elder and the Seventh Elder fought? When did it happen?"
"That's what happened this morning."
The seventh elder is the one in black robe, and he is also Chen Luo’s backer in the Heart Demon Sect.
During the time he was dormant, the Heart Demon Sect had already become a mess, the source of which was the large number of Heart Demon Stones that were lost. The resources suddenly decreased by 90%, and the cultivation of many people was affected. This kind of contradiction naturally broke out after accumulating to a certain extent.
The Great Elders wanted to put the blame on the Seventh City and Chen Luo, the "person in charge". But the old guys like Heipao were not pushovers. They seized on the Great Elders' "random assignments" and put all the blame on them for "colluding with the thieves" and "embezzlement". After a lot of arguments, no one came to question Chen Luo, the person in charge.
The two sides fought fiercely in the imperial city.
Afterwards, no one got the upper hand. The leader of the Heart Demon Sect was overwhelmed by the incident, and the enemies that kept pouring into the Heart Demon Realm made him feel like he had no idea where to start. The enemies in the open were not scary. The most difficult ones were the poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, because you didn't know when they would attack and where they would attack from.
"Keep an eye on it."
"yes."
Hu Shan nodded and immediately took note of this matter.
Turning to the second page, Chen Luo saw some more news, many of which were about recent events in the Heart Demon Realm, and the people and events involved were recorded in great detail.
"Yellow Springs Ferry?"
When he saw a name, Chen Luo paused for a moment.
He recalled the news he had read when he was in the Shadow Eater Sect. The Shadow Eater Sect and Wanxian Island were being eroded by a force called "Naihe Bridge". At that time, he used the authority of the Great Elder Luying to check a lot of information. He knew that Naihe Bridge was a ghost cultivation force, and it was not an ordinary ghost cultivation force.
Now a "Yellow Springs Ferry" has appeared on the side of the Heart Demon Sect, which makes it difficult for Chen Luo not to associate the two together.
"The reason why the Sect Master came out of retreat was because of the visit of the Green-robed Ghost King from Huangquan Ferry."
The Ghost King is a fifth-level ghost cultivator!
Representing the combat power of the God Transformation Realm, it is no wonder that the leader of the Heart Demon Sect would personally come out to deal with this person. Apart from him, no one else in the entire Heart Demon Sect is qualified to receive the Green-robed Ghost King.
"Yellow Springs Ferry should be the force behind the red skirt lady. They have given up their covert activities and moved to the open. Is the time almost right?"
Looking at the 'life, death, and underworld' pattern on the information, several thoughts flashed through Chen Luo's mind.
But he was soon abandoned. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. With the sect master and a group of elders around, it is not his turn to worry about such a big thing. He is now just a leader in the seventh city of the Heart Demon Sect. The black robe did not report Chen Luo's true realm. His current identity in the Heart Demon Sect is just a "stronger Jindan disciple".
Skipping the information about Huangquan Ferry, Chen Luo looked through some information about other areas.
This aspect of the Heart Demon Sect is better than the Shadow Eater Sect.
They are not limited to the Heart Demon Realm, but also pay attention to the outside world. This may be related to the practice of the Heart Demon Sect. The more chaotic the outside world is, the stronger the fluctuations of the Heart Demon will be, and the better the environment will be for the Heart Demon Sect.
"A pure-blooded dragon was born in the deep sea, a natural fifth-level demon dragon!"
"A disciple of Huangxian Dao came down the mountain, and he is suspected to be a congenital Daoist."
'The Saint of the Yinyue Cult is missing.'
'The new saint of the fox tribe defeated the heir of the Sword King Pavilion'
When seeing the last message, Chen Luo paused for a moment.
Fox tribe.
He had also met Su Linlin when he was in the lower world. Later, this girl left the lower world through Hushan. According to the description of the fox tribe at that time, she seemed to have gone to Tushan, the ancestral mountain of the fox tribe, to compete for the position of the saint.
After so many years, no one knows what the result will be. If it succeeds, this fox saint is likely to be Su Linlin. If it fails, according to the survival rules of the demon race, Su Linlin must be gone.
No matter what the result was, Chen Luo took note of it.
When he has the chance, he will definitely go to the demon tribe's territory. He has not forgotten his wish to pay homage to the ancestors of the fox tribe.
"Buy more spiritual materials, and collect the bones as well."
"I understand."
After receiving Chen Luo's instructions, Hu Shan quickly got up and left.
After closing the door of the training room, Chen Luo took out a handful of black Heart Demon Stones, held them in his hands and began to absorb them. This was how he had been practicing recently.
Having a lot of Heart Demon Stones is such a luxury.
The development of power is progressing steadily.
With the assistance of Hu Shan and Hu Si, Chen Luo's staff gradually expanded to more than a dozen people. These dozen people were all his own people who had eaten the "Evergreen Pill". With the Soul-Boiling Gu, Chen Luo could assign them tasks with confidence.
These people spread out like tentacles to attract more people.
When the Heart Demon Sect was in turmoil and the Yellow Springs Ferry was invaded, a sect called the Changqing Sect quietly rose up in secret.
