Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Upon hearing this, Yun Kebo's heart skipped a beat. He thought that Lu Chen had a backup plan, so he subconsciously looked around, trying to find any trace of possible helpers or ambushes.

However, apart from the silent snowfield and the occasional cold wind, no other signs were found.

Just as he was filled with doubt, he heard Zhou Shuwen suddenly say loudly, "Gentlemen, since you're here, why don't you come out and greet us? Do I have to invite you out?"

With the blessing of divine energy, these words resonated like a thunderclap from a clear sky, echoing in the tranquil environment with an undeniable power.

Zhou Shuwen's voice was clear and powerful, every word clearly audible, indicating that he had already noticed their presence.

Yun Kebo was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected the other party to be so perceptive, able to accurately pinpoint their hiding place.

However, what puzzled him even more was that if Lu Chen really had a so-called "backup plan," then why hadn't he made a move yet?

Just as Yun Kebo was lost in thought, Lu Chen gently patted his shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Zhou Shuwen wasn't talking about us. Look what this is."

As he spoke, Lu Chen reached out and poked the space in front of him. The space, which had been empty, suddenly appeared with a transparent light screen.

"A formation? When did you set it up?" Yun Kebo asked in shock, having never noticed Lu Chen setting up a formation from beginning to end.

But the facts are right in front of us, and the only explanation is that Lu Chen's mastery of formations has reached its peak, and he didn't even realize it when he set up the formation.

At that moment, as Zhou Shuwen finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of the five people, and then three figures appeared in an instant like phantoms.

All three were dressed in magnificent robes embroidered with exquisite rune patterns that emitted a faint glow, clearly indicating they were not ordinary items.

On the far left is a burly man with a chiseled face. His eyes are deep and sharp, like stars twinkling in the night sky, exuding an undeniable majesty.

The woman in the middle is a graceful woman with long, flowing hair and a pair of clear, bright eyes. Although she appears gentle, the aura she exudes is not to be underestimated.

The last one was a young man with a cold and stern face. His gaze was like the cold light on an iceberg, icy and devoid of any emotion.

All three were powerful beings at the level of the Dao Cultivation Saint Emperor, and their overwhelmingly powerful aura was revealed without reservation.

“Brother Lu, those three are Shoupu Saint Emperor of the Crimson Flame Saint Sect, Konghui Saint Emperor of the Nine Heavens Saint Sword Sect, and Yunji Saint Emperor of the Vajra Saint Sect. They are all experts in the Dao Cultivation Realm. Adding to the five Dao Cultivation Saint Emperors from before, we really have no chance of winning now.” Yun Kebo said worriedly through divine sense transmission.

"Let's see first. It's not like I haven't killed the Holy Emperor of the Dao before," Lu Chen calmly replied via divine sense transmission.

At this moment, the young cultivator with a cold and stern face, known as the Holy Emperor Yunji, smiled and clapped his hands upon seeing Zhou Shuwen and the others, and said loudly:

"Brother Zhou, long time no see! You're still as charming as ever! But whenever you have something good, you seem to forget about us. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuwen and the others frowned, secretly guessing that these guys must also be after the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring. However, after a moment's thought, they understood the key to the matter.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here,” Zhou Shuwen broke the silence first, his tone tinged with wariness and probing. “I wonder if the three of you are also interested in the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring?”

Upon hearing this, the burly man, known as the Holy Emperor of Shoupu, smiled slightly, but his smile was full of profound meaning: "Brother Zhou is joking. There is no need for us five holy sects to hide from each other."

Since we're all here for the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring, let's have an open and honest discussion so we can each get what we need and avoid hurting our feelings.

"Hehe, since we all share the same goal, why don't we act together? We can split the profits equally, and no one will suffer a loss," the woman among the three, known as the Holy Emperor Konghui, chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuwen and the others became secretly wary. They knew that although these people appeared friendly on the surface, they all harbored ulterior motives and wanted to monopolize the secret of the divine spring.

Then, an old man beside Zhou Shuwen smiled and said, "What the Holy Emperor Konghui said makes sense, and I agree."

Hearing the old man's agreement, Zhou Shuwen's heart sank slightly. Although the five of them had come together, they were ultimately just partners.

His statement at this moment undoubtedly implies that he accepts the other party's proposal, but what is the hidden intention behind it?

However, under the current circumstances, refusing to cooperate could immediately trigger conflict, in which case no one would benefit.

“In that case, let’s cooperate. If we find the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring, we’ll split the spoils equally.” Zhou Shuwen nodded slowly, his voice calm yet firm. “However, let me make this clear: anyone who is blinded by greed and tries to take it will face my wrath.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shoupu immediately chimed in, "Brother Zhou is right. If anyone disobeys everyone's orders, I, Shoupu, will be the first to object."

The others had no objections, and soon they reached a consensus. Without further delay, they all slipped into the snow-covered canyon.

A biting wind howled through the icy valley, whipping up snowflakes that blurred the view. The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, leaving deep footprints with every step.

Seeing this, Lu Chen, who was hiding on the hillside, turned to Yun Kebo and said firmly:

“Brother Yun, why don’t you wait for me here? My concealment skills are enough to avoid their sight. But if you come with me, it will be easier to expose our whereabouts. But don’t worry, once I get the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring, I will definitely not keep it for myself.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Kebo frowned, his eyes filled with worry.

He knew that although Lu Chen was exceptionally strong, his opponent had eight Dao Cultivation Saint Emperors, and any small mistake could have fatal consequences. "Brother Lu, what are you saying? Of course I believe you,"

However, those people are far more powerful than we imagine, and one wrong move could lead to a desperate situation, so you can't go.

He urged Lu Chen to stop him from taking the risk alone.

However, there was no sign of backing down in Lu Chen's eyes. He patted Yun Kebo on the shoulder and said softly but firmly, "Trust me, I will be careful."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished without a trace, as if blending into the surrounding ice and snow. Seeing this, Yun Kebo, though anxious, could only wait in place, hoping that Lu Chen would be safe and sound…
