Besides the long-standing rumours that Divine Physician Yuan Zhan was a descendant of the Yuan Tiangang clan, he also had an even more important identity.
He was one of the presidents of this term’s Cultivators Association, and also the youngest president in history, Lu Tianqi.
This legendary figure, famous throughout the cultivation world, was Yuan Zhan’s disciple.
In other words, Yuan Zhan had a president as his backer. Once Luo Chen killed Yuan Zhan, it would mean adding yet another powerful enemy.
Several famous mountain cultivators within the country already wanted Luo Chen dead. If at this time another president of the Cultivators Association were added to the mix, then the number of people Luo Chen had offended would truly be considerable.
Luofu Mountain could already be said to have made its stance clear, intending to kill Luo Chen during this Cultivators Grand Gathering.
If Wudang Mountain and the president of the Cultivators Association were added on top of that, then when Luo Chen attended the Cultivators Grand Gathering, he would definitely be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Meanwhile, He Guan, standing nearby with his arms crossed, looked at Luo Chen with a mocking expression.
This Yuan Zhan could be said to affect the whole body with a single hair.
The person behind this scheme had precisely seen this point. If Yuan Zhan killed Luo Chen, then so be it.
But if Luo Chen wanted to do anything to Yuan Zhan, then he would have to think carefully.
Because the moral high ground of the world had already been seized by Yuan Zhan. Yuan Zhan was himself a descendant of the Yuan Tiangang clan, then a member of Wudang Mountain, and more importantly he had a president of the Cultivators Association behind him.
These complex relationships and backgrounds would absolutely cause Luo Chen huge trouble.
Therefore, the best choice was not to kill.
If he killed, Luo Chen would cause himself huge trouble again. If he did not kill, Luo Chen would feel aggrieved.
One could say that the person behind this scheme was absolutely a master of conspiracy.
After Su Lingchu explained things in a whisper beside Luo Chen’s ear, he finally spoke slowly.
“Old Luo, it is obvious someone behind the scenes wants to trap you. Why not endure your anger for now and settle accounts later?” Su Lingchu was not stupid, or rather, none of them were stupid.
But at this moment, Divine Physician Yuan looked at Luo Chen with a crazed smile.
“What?”
“Still dare to say you will kill me?”
“Heh, Luo Wuji, you are ultimately just a brat. Did you really think you could make big waves?”
“Did you really think the older generation on these famous mountains are vegetarians?”
“Would be taken down by a little…”
“Drag him away!” Luo Chen directly interrupted Divine Physician Yuan impatiently.
And the Blood Corpse King was quite obedient. With a whoosh, it dragged Yuan Zhan away and disappeared, and even conveniently grabbed Yuan Zhan’s disciple along the way.
This scene, especially Luo Chen’s words, stunned everyone.
“Luo Wuji, you truly intend to kill him?” He Guan roared angrily.
“Hmph, since you know I am Luo Wuji, then you should be clear that when I say I will kill, I will kill!” Luo Chen sneered coldly.
Threaten him?
He had never compromised even in the Immortal Realm. The famous mountains on Earth might be seen by the world as high and unattainable, as deep as an abyss.
But in his eyes, they were merely trivial.
A few famous mountains, even a mere cultivation world dared to threaten and scheme against him?
“Old Luo, this, sigh!” Su Lingchu sighed.
If he killed him, then things would really blow up completely.
“Since you insist on this, then bear the consequences yourself.” Although He Guan represented the Cultivators Association, in terms of strength he was inferior to Yuan Zhan.
If Yuan Zhan could not even defeat that Corpse King, how could he dare to act recklessly?
Even less did he dare to move to save anyone.
“The first day of the seventh month, one month from now, Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Cultivators Grand Gathering will be held. Here is the invitation.”
“Since Mr Luo is so domineering, then accept the invitation.” He Guan held out that gilt-edged card.
And Su Lingchu immediately stepped forward first and blocked in front of Luo Chen.
Putting aside the matter of killing Yuan Zhan for now, many cultivators from famous mountains had long been declaring they would settle accounts with Luo Chen at the Cultivators Grand Gathering.
But Luo Chen himself had not formally agreed to go.
So in this matter, there was actually one last room for compromise.
That was not to accept the invitation.
After all, Luo Chen’s cultivation had completely dissipated now, so he no longer counted as a person of the cultivation world.
Luo Chen had every reason not to accept this invitation.
This was also the reason Su Lingchu had come here.
To stop Luo Chen from accepting the invitation.
“As long as you do not accept this invitation, I have a way to protect you.” Su Lingchu spoke in a low voice beside Luo Chen’s ear.
Su Lingchu was after all a military bigwig. Although he was not from the cultivation world, as long as Luo Chen did not accept, then Su Lingchu had the ability and the authority to protect Luo Chen.
He Guan had actually heard these words too.
This immediately caused He Guan’s expression to change.
Indeed it was so, because although everyone understood that the world would likely become quite different in the future, and that it would then definitely be the world of cultivators.
So now the people of the cultivation world were becoming more and more high-profile.
But at least it was not so yet.
For now, there were many things they really could only obey obediently.
If Luo Wuji did not accept this invitation today, and Su Lingchu directly threw Luo Chen into military district protection, many people wanting to kill Luo Chen would really face some difficulty and trouble.
Even if an old senior like Cang Songzi personally made a move, he would have to worry about certain things.
“The pinnacle of glorious China, praised as the number one person in China, surely would not really fall to the point of being protected by others?” He Guan mocked from the side.
“Hmph, Daoist He, Mr Luo’s cultivation has completely dissipated now. He is like an ordinary person, yet your Cultivators Association wants to invite him to the Cultivators Grand Gathering at this time.”
“Does this not count as taking advantage of someone’s misfortune?” Su Lingchu mocked from the side.
“A group of senior masters, cultivators from famous mountains and great rivers, going to bully an ordinary person then, would that not be a laughing stock?”
“When my old brother’s cultivation was intact, I did not see any of you daring to jump out and say a word.” Su Lingchu spoke coldly.
These few sentences pierced He Guan until his face turned red.
But then He Guan sneered again.
“Mr Su jests. This Cultivators Grand Gathering is merely a gathering. Whether Mr Luo is willing to attend or not depends on Mr Luo’s own will.”
“Of course, the great Luo Wuji, I think would not be afraid…”
“Give me the invitation.” Luo Chen waved his hand and interrupted He Guan’s words.
This caused Su Lingchu to be stunned.
“Old Luo, this…”
Luo Chen raised a finger, interrupting Su Lingchu’s words.
“There is a saying that courtesy demands reciprocity.”
“And a group of juniors who only dare to play petty tricks, would I, Luo Wuji, be afraid?”
“Even if you have prepared a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, I, Luo Wuji, would still dare to go and explore.”
“And one more thing, remember this well.” As Luo Chen said this, his face suddenly darkened.
“I am Luo Wuji.”
“Have you forgotten this point?”
As soon as Luo Chen’s words landed, the expressions of He Guan and the group behind him suddenly changed.
