Chapter 1447: 1 Stone
So, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Chen used his divine sense to envelop the forty-odd people, and then with a thought, he...
Those forty-odd people vanished instantly, having actually been transported into the Golden Pearl World.
In the Golden Pearl World, Lu Chen had already manipulated the gray matter to delineate about one-third of the area, giving them enough space to move around.
After doing all this, Lu Chen turned his gaze to Yun Fengyuan and politely cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, I wonder if you can fulfill the promise you made earlier?"
At this moment, Lu Chen only wanted to get the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow as soon as possible and then leave this place.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fengyuan immediately smiled and said, "Young friend Lu Chen, don't be in a hurry. Since it is a promise I made, I will naturally not go back on my word."
Then, Yun Fengyuan said loudly, "Everyone, I believe you have all seen what happened today. If it weren't for young friend Lu Chen killing two experts at the Transformation Realm and forcing back Dao Yin Saint and others, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Therefore, I have decided to give the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow to my young friend Lu Chen. That's settled then. I hope everyone will stop making trouble.
As he finished speaking, Yun Fengyuan's gaze swept over the Third Elder, Yun Kuihai, seemingly unintentionally. The latter, realizing his meaning, quickly looked away, a forced smile appearing on his face, as if desperately trying to conceal his embarrassment and resentment.
He had been targeting Lu Chen from the very beginning, but Yun Fengyuan's words at this moment undoubtedly poured cold water on him.
After hearing Yun Fengyuan's announcement, the other clansmen whispered among themselves, but no one dared to voice any objections.
After all, they had all witnessed firsthand the immense power Lu Chen displayed, as well as his ability to save the entire family at a critical moment.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, no one dares to jump out and court death at this moment.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was naturally overjoyed. It was truly not easy to finally obtain the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow.
Next, Yun Tianqi arranged for everyone to go home and pack up, and everyone was to gather at the village entrance half an hour later.
With their small world exposed, they had to relocate as a whole to find a new place to live.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for many of their people, as the small world held too many of their memories and emotions.
However, faced with the harsh reality and the seriousness of the situation, everyone quietly left and began preparing for their relocation.
Soon only Yun Tianqi and Yun Fengyuan remained at the scene. As for Yun Kebo, Lu Chen saw him leave with his father, presumably to treat his father's injuries.
At this moment, Yun Fengyuan and Yun Tianqi exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating something in silence.
Then, Yun Tianqi turned to Lu Chen and said gently but with a hint of mystery, "Young friend Lu Chen, since that's the case, then come with us. However, whether you can obtain the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow depends on your own fate."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned grim.
A sense of doubt arose in his mind: were these two old guys going to make things difficult for him again? Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Noticing the change in Lu Chen's expression, Yun Fengyuan smiled gently, "Young friend, you don't need to worry, we don't mean to make things difficult for you." He paused, then continued, "Well then, you'll find out when we get there. Now, please come with us."
Despite his lingering doubts, Lu Chen could tell from the situation that there was probably more to it than met the eye. So he tried to calm himself down and nodded, saying, "Alright, seniors, please lead the way."
Before long, the three arrived at a seemingly ordinary stone. The stone was about 2.5 meters long and 1 meter wide, covered with a layer of moss, as if it had been sleeping there for countless years.
It was simply discarded by the river not far from the village entrance, where the water flowed gently, making a soft sound.
A few unidentified flowers dotted the surrounding grass, swaying gently in the wind, adding a touch of life to this tranquil scene.
"What do you mean by this, senior?" Lu Chen looked at the stone, then at the two of them, his face full of doubt.
Yun Fengyuan stroked his beard and said calmly, "Young friend Lu Chen, you guessed correctly. The Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow exists inside this stone. Since you have already been recognized as the master of the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow, it means that you are destined to be with the Qiong Clan. As for whether you can retrieve the Sacred Arrow, I will say it again: it depends on your fate."
Upon hearing their admission, a look of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. Who would have thought that this inconspicuous stone actually concealed the treasure passed down through generations of the Youqiong clan—the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow.
"Senior, I really don't understand. Even if you failed to retrieve the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow, such a treasure should have been carefully preserved. Why would you leave it here so carelessly?" Lu Chen circled the moss-covered boulder, examining it back and forth, but he couldn't figure it out. Even his divine sense couldn't see its internal condition.
At this moment, Yun Tianqi slowly walked to the stone, his expression seemingly lost in distant memories, and then slowly said:
"Young friend Lu Chen, you may not know this, but this stone is no ordinary object. It is a sealed artifact left from ancient times. Legend has it that the power of the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow is too great. If it were to fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions, it would surely cause a great disaster."
Therefore, the ancestors sealed it here, and since very few people knew about it, it was foolproof.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart stirred. He hadn't expected that the ancestors of the Youqiong clan would like to play such tricks of keeping things hidden from others. However, this was indeed a way to prevent others from discovering it.
"Senior, can I just smash the stone?" Lu Chen asked doubtfully, a hint of urgency in his eyes. He secretly calculated that if he could break it with force, wouldn't that save him a lot of trouble?
Yun Tianqi smiled mysteriously, his eyes gleaming with profound wisdom. "Young friend, please feel free to try."
Seeing this, Lu Chen said no more and immediately began to circulate the Chaos Dao Life Technique. His body was gradually enveloped in a faint light, a sign that his divine essence was rapidly circulating within his body.
With a low shout, he poured all his divine energy into his palm and then slammed it down heavily on the stone.
However, things took a far greater turn than he had anticipated. When that power, strong enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, struck the stone, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. The stone not only remained unmoved but also seemed to be a bottomless pit, swallowing up his power.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen was immediately shocked, his face filled with disbelief. He never expected that his attack would fail to cause any damage to this seemingly ordinary stone.
Seeing this, Yun Tianqi and Yun Fengyuan smiled silently, as if they had already expected this outcome.
Their expressions showed neither surprise nor disappointment, as if it were all within their expectations…
