In the battle of Xiao Qishan, although Ling Jianzong won, it was only a miserable victory, and it stands to reason that even if he received sky-high compensation from the Yuan family and Tianyuanmen after the war, it would still not be able to shock the entire Qingzhou cultivation world as much as in the past.

Not to mention that Luo Chuan also killed Xu Cheng, the elder of the torture hall, afterwards, which was tantamount to another stab in the heart of the devastated Xiao Qishan.

But in fact, to this day, Ling Jian Sect's status in people's hearts has risen instead of falling, and even the Blood Hell Valley does not dare to directly attack its edge.

Why?

In addition to the favor of the Star Hall for Luo Chuan, Liao Tan is about to become the Great Liang Concubine, and the olive branch thrown by the Xia family, the most important thing is the two elders in the Ling Sword Sect.

One is Xie Kun.

The second is Liu Rufeng.

Because both of them broke through the last shackles of the peak of the Star Washing Realm, they both gathered stars, and became the two brightest stars in the sky above Xiaoqi Mountain, shining and guarding the glory of Ling Jian Sect forever.

As soon as you enter the Gathering Stars, for every cultivator, it is a complete transformation and sublimation, which is not the same as when you wash the Star Realm.

The original eight families in Qingzhou, each family only had two Star Gathering Realm powerhouses at most.

Tianyuan Gate and Blood Hell Valley each have four.

The reason why Ling Jian Sect is known as the first sect in Qingzhou is that in addition to the profound foundation of its swordsmanship, the strength of the sect leader Hu Tiannan, and the large number of royal disciples, the more critical point is that Ling Jian Sect originally had a full five Star Gathering Realm powerhouses!

Sect Master Hu Tiannan.

Supreme Elder Lin Ru.

Deputy head Chen An.

Deputy head Xu Zilin.

and the chief disciple, Liao Tan!

But now it's different.

With Xie Kun's cultivation exposed, Liu Rufeng returned from the retreat of the Star Palace, and now the Ling Sword Sect already has seven Star Gathering Realm powerhouses in charge, almost twice as many as Tianyuan Gate and Blood Hell Valley!

What if one Xu Cheng dies?

The value of the Washing Star Realm and the Gathering Star Realm are completely different.

There is a huge Qingzhou cultivation world, who would dare to compete with Ling Jian Sect!

There is no doubt that Liu Rufeng's successful breakthrough has completely declared Ling Jianzong's supremacy in Qingzhou.

And this is only the first meaning of Liu Rufeng's existence that people see.

Only a few people know that Liu Rufeng's return will also affect a person's decision to some extent.

Luochuan.

If you have to rank everyone he knows in this world in Luo Chuan's heart according to their importance to himself, the first one is of course Hongdou.

The second is Liu Rufeng.

Because without Liu Rufeng, there would be no Luochuan today.

Eight years ago, the Great Yan Empire set off a rebellion of peace and kinship, and its first god, Mu Zhe, waved his army to the north, burning the war from Zaozhou all the way to Jiangzhou.

At the age of eight, Luo Chuan was separated from his family and fled north alone, when the natural disaster struck, the floods in Jiangzhou were raging, and Luo Chuan picked up a little girl with a similar fate to him in the monstrous flood, the girl was only five years old at the time, and it was a red bean.

The master and servant struggled to survive in the natural disaster for two years, and then met the first noble man in their lives.

It was the elder of the Ling Jian Sect who went out to help the victims, Liu Rufeng.

Then, Liu Rufeng had compassion in his heart, brought Luo Chuan and Hongdou back to Ling Jian Sect, and tested Luo Chuan's talent, which led to the rest of the story.

It's just that before the battle of Yanyu Tower, Liu Rufeng suddenly felt that his cultivation was loose, and then he entered the Star Hall to close the life and death pass, so he missed the ups and downs of Luo Chuan in Xiaoqi Mountain after that.

The retreat took him nearly six years.

Fortunately, God lived up to his hard work, Liu Rufeng finally broke through the realm and succeeded, walked into the more magnificent scenery of Juxing, and returned in time when the sect needed him the most.

Therefore, the battle of Xiaoqishan is the first reunion between Liu Rufeng and Luo Chuan after six years.

But after that, Luo Chuan didn't communicate much with the great benefactor who changed his fate, but more like deliberately avoiding the meeting between the two.

When killing Xu Cheng, Luo Chuan's last hole card was Xie Kun, not Liu Rufeng.

When he took Liao Tan around the fox and the fake tiger, Luo Chuan walked all over the three mountains and five halls of Ling Jian Sect, and saw a lot of people, but he didn't see Liu Rufeng.

Later, when he left the sect to go to the Yuan family's land, he also did not say goodbye to Liu Rufeng.

Why?

Because Luo Chuan was not ready for the two to meet.

Or in other words, today's Luochuan is not the same person as the Luochuan that Liu Rufeng knew eight years ago.

When Luo Chuan came to the Starfall Continent and descended on Ling Jian Sect, Liu Rufeng had already closed his life and death in the Star Palace, so his understanding of Liu Rufeng only existed in his memory, and more came from Hongdou's narration.

Now Luo Chuan has not yet figured out how to face this former benefactor.

I don't know what kind of identity to use to reunite with him.

But he never thought that he would complete this dramatic scene in Tianyuan Gate today.

At this time, Luo Chuan lowered his head, his brows were tightly locked, he didn't know what to say for a while, what he didn't understand even more was that Liu Rufeng, as an elder of the Ling Sword Sect, why did he have to intercede for Tianyuan Sect today?

Seeing Luo Chuan's silence, Liu Rufeng couldn't help but sigh: "You guys go out first, I'll talk to him alone." ”

Liu Rufeng's words were a bit anti-guest-oriented, but for Dan Ghost and Wei Chen, they couldn't ask for it, so they immediately bowed slightly to Liu Rufeng, and then walked towards the door.

Qin Jiang glanced at Luo Chuan, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, and then he slowly kept up with the pace of the Dan Ghost.

As the gate of Baixiang Pavilion slowly closed, only Luo Chuan and Liu Rufeng were left in the field.

So Luo Chuan finally spoke: "Why?"

Hearing this, Liu Rufeng's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of complicated emotions, and then said unhurriedly: "You should know that the entire Qingzhou cultivation world was not built in a day, and the relationship between the major forces is by no means as simple as the difference between friends and foes, for example, between the eight major sects in Qingzhou and my three major sects, there is infiltration. ”

Luo Chuan nodded: "For example, my deputy head of the Ling Sword Sect, Chen An, is the head of the Chen family. ”

"Not bad. Liu Rufeng paused, and then said: "Such a situation also exists between the eight major families, or between my three major sects, such as the Yang family and the Ning family have a marriage friendship, and for example, I, at the beginning, actually studied under Tianyuanmen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Chuan was stunned.

He never thought that the dignified Ling Sword Sect Elder was once a disciple of Tianyuan Sect!

"This ......"

Liu Rufeng knew what Luo Chuan wanted to ask, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "As for why I changed the sect court and became an elder of the Ling Sword Sect step by step, this is a very long story, but you don't have to doubt anything, about my origin, the head of the sect and the Supreme Elder both know." ”

Luo Chuan sighed: "So you are here today." ”

"Yes. Liu Rufeng is not shy about this.

"In fact, after I became the elder of the Ling Sword Sect, Tianyuanmen never asked me to repay them anything, but I know very well in my heart that on this long and endless cultivation path, I have always owed Tianyuanmen a great favor, and I have also promised Dan Ghost that as long as it does not harm the interests of the sect, I can repay them this favor when necessary. ”

Luo Chuan frowned and said: "If that's the case, this time I came to ask for this Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill, not for myself, but for the sect, if you come to stop me now, isn't it harming the interests of the sect?"

Liu Rufeng nodded: "You are right, so I came this time, in fact, the main thing is not to return the favor of Tianyuanmen, but for you." ”

"For me?" Luo Chuan's brow furrowed even tighter.

"It's still the same sentence, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. Liu Rufeng smiled slightly: "I have heard all the things you have done over the years, and I also know that you have made great contributions to the sect this time, but at the same time, you have indeed made too many enemies, this Qingzhou Rebellion, you have offended the Chen family, the Yang family and the Ning family one after another, if you add a Tianyuan Sect, it will be a big unwise." ”

Without waiting for Luo Chuan to speak, Liu Rufeng continued: "Although there is a Star Hall to escort you for the time being, the Star Hall can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime. ”

Liu Rufeng's bitter heart did touch Luo Chuan's heart, but he did not agree with Liu Rufeng's opinion.

"Take a step back, the sea and the sky, I understand this truth, but this is mutual, when Tianyuanmen and the army broke through our sect's mountain gate, why didn't they think about leaving us a way to live? Now that they are defeated, they ask me to be soft-hearted, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

After a pause, Luo Chuan turned to say: "If you come today, it is for me to repay this favor for you, I will respond, and I can also do without the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill, but if you want to persuade me to repay my grievances with virtue, I can't do it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Rufeng couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, and said with some disappointment: "I led you into the mountain gate that day, not to make you a murderer who will take revenge, otherwise, I think the Blood Hell Valley will be more suitable for you." ”

These words were a bit heavy, but this time, Luo Chuan did not bow his head again.

"But I think you should know that even before I became a disciple of the Ling Sword Sect, I was already such a person. ”

Liu Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and a trace of apology suddenly appeared on his face, and then he sighed: "Yes, under the natural disasters and chaos, how can kind-hearted people survive? It seems that I have not been in the sect in the past few years, and you have suffered too much to become what you are today." ”

After a pause, Liu Rufeng could only say abruptly: "That's it, in this way, it can be regarded as returning this favor for me." ”

Luo Chuan also sighed in his heart, and then bowed down and said, "Okay." ”
