Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1480 She's Lying

"Brother Hao, is this Phantom Canyon?" Lu Chen looked around and saw an ancient-style building complex not far away, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, which looked solemn and elegant.

Among these buildings, cultivators could be seen moving back and forth from time to time. Their clothing varied, indicating that they came from different sects.

Hao Yun explained, "That's right, this is Phantom Canyon, which is also the location of the Dan Dao Holy Sect."

However, this is only the outer perimeter of the Holy Sect of Alchemy; the sect's main campus is deep within the canyon. Let's wander around casually for now, and then go directly to observe when the Alchemy Conference begins.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood why Transcendent Realm experts had gathered here. Sects skilled in alchemy already held high status, and it was obvious to everyone that these experts were there for Saint-grade pills. This also indirectly proved that Hao Yun's previous idea of ​​using immortal wine to attract experts was unworkable.

However, another problem arose: how to find the Floating Light Feather Robe? Oh well, I'll just have to take it one step at a time!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt relieved. With the idea of ​​"since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Lu Chen said, "Brother Hao, you seem to know this place well. Have you been here before?"

Hao Yun smiled slightly and replied, "That's right, I have indeed been to this Phantom Canyon several times. Each time I've managed to buy quite a few high-quality pills and magic treasures. Especially the high-quality pills, which are very helpful for improving cultivation."

Moreover, this place is a gathering place for cultivators from all over the world, and sometimes you can even encounter rare treasures. However, be careful, as it's a melting pot of all sorts of people.

The three walked and talked, occasionally stopping to look at the stalls.

Just then, a figure covered in wounds and with extremely weak breath rushed out from the side in a panic, directly bumping into a cultivator who was standing in front of the stall selecting goods.

The man was dressed in fine clothes and exuded an aggressive aura; he was clearly no ordinary cultivator. Seeing that the one who had bumped into him was a frail woman, he immediately roared, "You shameless woman, are you blind? How dare you bump into this young master!"

The woman who was hit was clearly startled, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

However, the young cultivator did not intend to let her off easily. He looked the woman up and down and saw that although she was in a sorry state, she was still somewhat beautiful. A wicked thought flashed in his eyes, and his tone became frivolous: "Hmph, an apology is not enough. If you don't pay me a thousand mid-grade divine crystals, don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, the woman's already pale face turned even paler. "I'm sorry, I really don't have that many divine crystals. Please let me go."

"Oh? Not having divine crystals isn't a problem." The young cultivator revealed a playful smile and teased, "Then play along with this young master. Otherwise, you won't be leaving here alive today."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd began pointing and whispering about the young cultivator, but no one was willing to step forward to help the woman out of her predicament.

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned, a surge of anger rising within him. He was about to step forward to stop him when Hao Yun gently pulled his arm, signaling him to observe the situation first.

However, when he saw the cultivator start to make unwanted advances, his intentions becoming clear, Lu Chen could no longer restrain himself.

"Stop!" Lu Chen shouted sharply, then stepped forward. "Friend, we are all cultivators, why make things difficult for a weak woman?"

The cultivator turned to look at Lu Chen and Hao Yun, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness. When he realized he couldn't see through their cultivation levels, his expression changed slightly, but he still forced a fierce look and said, "Who are you? What business is it of mine? Believe me, I'll take care of you both too!"

Seeing that Lu Chen was meddling in his affairs again, Hao Yun shook his head helplessly. However, he did not stand idly by. Instead, he looked at the other party coldly and said in a cold voice, "You are not worthy to know who we are. If you know what's good for you, get out of here or you will die."

As he spoke, a powerful aura swept towards the young cultivator.

The cultivator's face turned pale and then red. After hesitating for a moment, he realized that he might not be able to afford to offend the two people in front of him, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand and left a harsh remark: "Hmph, this is the territory of the Dan Dao Holy Sect. What? You dare to kill someone in the street? Do you want to die?" After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

At this moment, the woman looked at Lu Chen and Hao Yun gratefully and bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you both for saving my life. If it weren't for your timely intervention, I'm afraid I would not have been able to escape this calamity today."

Lu Chen smiled gently and comforted her, "Miss, you don't need to be so polite. It is the duty of us cultivators to help those in need. But you, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

The woman sighed and recounted her ordeal. It turned out she was a disciple of a small sect nearby, and during a training expedition, she had inadvertently offended a powerful family.

In retaliation, that family sent experts to hunt her down, forcing her to flee all the way here, where she suffered many injuries.

After listening, Hao Yun asked with concern, "So what are your plans next? Continuing to hide like this isn't a solution."

The woman shook her head, a helpless expression on her face: "I know I can't go on like this, but my current strength is simply not enough to fight them."

Moreover, I don't have enough resources for cultivation; I can only barely maintain the status quo.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chen suggested, "In that case, why don't you come with us? There are many high-quality pills for sale here; perhaps we can find some that will help you recover."

Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed in the woman's eyes, but she concealed it very well, and then gave an awkward laugh:

"I appreciate your kindness, seniors, but I am worried that I might cause you trouble, so please excuse me and take my leave first."

After saying that, the woman turned and left without looking back, but not towards the outside of the canyon, but towards the inside.

Watching the woman's departing figure, Lu Chen and Hao Yun exchanged a smile, each seeing a deeper meaning in the other's eyes.

"Judging from Brother Lu's words, could it be that you've figured it out too?" Hao Yun transmitted his thoughts telepathically.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and replied through divine sense, "She is lying. It is abnormal for a female cultivator in the Transformation Realm to act so discreetly. It was just a few words; consider it a good match."

It turned out that both Lu Chen and Hao Yun could see the woman's true cultivation level. In theory, she was fully capable of killing the young cultivator who had been flirting with her with a single palm strike.

But the other party chose to remain silent, which was clearly abnormal. It was precisely because of this strangeness that Lu Chen and Hao Yun decided to help the woman…
