Chapter 1482 The Crisis of the Grand Event

Just as Lu Chen was looking around, five figures filed into the main hall. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, had an imposing presence, and each of them exuded a powerful aura.

The arrival of the group immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators in the main hall, who began to whisper among themselves.

“Those people are… from the Yanwu Holy Sect!” a middle-aged cultivator said in a low voice, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes.

Some cultivators who did not recognize the identities of the individuals showed reverence upon hearing the words "Yanwu Holy Sect".

Even if the other party didn't even glance at them, they still silently bowed to the group.

"Brother Hao, what is the background of this Yanwu Holy Sect? Why are those cultivators so respectful to them? They seem to be quite extraordinary." Lu Chen asked curiously through telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Hao Yun replied with a solemn expression via telepathy, "It's more than just not simple. In the Divine Flame Domain, almost no sect would disrespect the Flame Martial Holy Sect. Even Transcendent Realm experts wouldn't easily provoke the Flame Martial Holy Sect. Do you think such a sect can be simple?"

"Even if the Yanwu Holy Sect is powerful, it shouldn't command such respect for its disciples, right?" Lu Chen asked in shock.

Hao Yun could tell that Lu Chen didn't know much about the Divine Domain, so he patiently explained it to him through divine sense:

"Brother Lu, it's normal for you to have this question. This is because the Yanwu Holy Sect is not only one of the super sects that has been passed down from ancient times, but its reputation has also spread far and wide."

Furthermore, the history following the War of the Gods evokes deep emotions in everyone.

It is said that after the War of the Gods, the entire Divine Domain almost collapsed and disappeared completely. At that time, the world was in turmoil, all things withered, and many cultivators left the Divine Domain one after another.

Later, it was the Supreme Sect Master of the Yanwu Holy Sect, Emperor Bai Xing, who used his supreme divine power to exhaust all his cultivation to transform into the world laws of the Divine Blaze Domain, thus preventing the Divine Blaze Domain from being completely destroyed. Otherwise, this world would have ceased to exist long ago.

Lu Chen listened intently, feeling not only shocked but also deeply impressed by the actions of the White Punishment Saint Emperor.

"To commemorate the great contributions of the White Punishment Saint Emperor," Hao Yun continued, transmitting his thoughts, "people spontaneously erected a magnificent statue at his birthplace and hold a grand sacrificial ceremony every year."

Moreover, since then, almost everyone has spontaneously developed a deep respect for the Yanwu Holy Sect and its disciples.

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood the reason. He secretly memorized the appearance of the people and tried his best not to offend them, otherwise he would easily become a public enemy.

"Brother Hao, there's something else I want to ask you. Do you know about the Floating Light Feather Robe?" From the moment Lu Chen entered, he no longer regarded Hao Yun as an ordinary rogue cultivator. Rather than wandering around asking questions like a headless fly, which could easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, it was safer to ask Hao Yun.

Hao Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "The Floating Light Feather Robe?" he repeated, his tone tinged with disbelief.

"That's a Saint-grade level eight defensive magic treasure! Wearing it can withstand a full-force attack from a Transcendent Realm expert. However, treasures of this caliber are not easily obtained. I remember the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the canyon sells them, but the price is extremely high."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent. "Oh, I see," he said casually. "I was just asking casually, I didn't really intend to buy it."

Hao Yun looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression, seemingly confused by his attitude. "Then why did you suddenly ask about this treasure? Do you have some special reason for needing it?"

Lu Chen chuckled softly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "It's nothing really, I just heard this thing is powerful and I'm curious."

Just then, Hao Yun seemed to remember something and pointed to a bald old monk not far away, saying:

"Brother Lu, did you see that person? That's the famous Master Kumu from the Divine Realm, known as the Holy Emperor Kumu, whose cultivation has reached the Transcendent Realm."

This man is a heavy drinker, especially fond of tasting rare and exquisite wines. If Brother Lu could produce that rare wine from before, perhaps you could gain his protection. At the very least, the Gu family would give him some face.

Lu Chen followed Hao Yun's finger and saw the old monk known as the Withered Wood Saint Emperor standing in front of a display stand selecting pills.

A large gourd of wine hung from his waist, and a satisfied smile spread across his face; he'd probably had quite a bit to drink.

Although he looked ordinary, the aura he exuded clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person. Many cultivators around him cast awe-inspiring glances at him, but dared not approach him easily.

To be honest, Lu Chen never intended to exchange immortal wine for protection from the beginning, but he didn't expect Hao Yun to actually introduce him to such a person.

“Brother Hao, you’re right,” Lu Chen said slowly. “However, before that, I’d like to understand Master Kumu’s personality first. After all, going there rashly might not achieve the desired results.”

Hao Yun nodded, indicating his understanding. "Then you'd better hurry. Master Kumu rarely shows his face, but this alchemy gathering is a rare opportunity to see him."

If you treat him with sincerity and show enough genuine intent, I believe he will be willing to help you.

Just as the two were talking, three more people entered the main hall, and their arrival immediately caused a murmur among the whispers.

"Look, isn't that Gu Nanqiao from the Gu family? What's he doing here? I heard that the Gu family has a partnership with the Dan Dao Sacred Sect. With his status, there's absolutely no need for him to attend such a grand event."

"Who knows? It's best if we don't discuss such important figures to avoid getting into trouble."

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Hao Yun's heart sank, and his expression turned grave. "This is bad!" he whispered to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, that person is Gu Nanqiao. Why is he here? Have our movements been exposed?"

Following Hao Yun's gaze, Lu Chen saw that the leading middle-aged cultivator was tall and robust, with an undeniable air of authority between his brows. Behind him followed two elderly men with serious expressions, exuding a powerful aura. They were actually experts at the Dao Integration Realm.

"The Gu family is truly powerful; even their two attendants are experts at the Dao Integration Realm," Lu Chen thought solemnly.

"So it's Brother Gu who has graced us with his presence. Please forgive me for not greeting you sooner."

At this moment, an elderly man in his seventies walked quickly towards Gu Nanqiao in the main hall, cupped his hands and smiled.

Gu Nanqiao nodded slightly, then quickly locked her gaze on Lu Chen, before subtly looking away.

"It's alright. I had nothing to do today, and I heard that the Holy Sect of Alchemy is holding a grand alchemy gathering. I'll take this opportunity to visit a few friends."

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine. "Oh no, Gu Nanqiao really did come for me."

At this moment, although Gu Nanqiao shifted her attention, Lu Chen clearly sensed that a divine sense had locked onto him firmly.

Without even thinking, Lu Chen could guess that this divine sense was definitely related to the old man beside Gu Nanqiao…
