"Haha, I didn’t expect to meet acquaintances here." Luo Qingchen smiled faintly, but his gaze was icy cold.

"Senior Brother Luo, I’m here to help you!" Su Xiaowan cried out, and Lin Wan’er also emerged from the forest. Without a word, Lin Wan’er unleashed her Heavenly Origin Sword technique, a green Sword Light directly targeting the sly cultivator with a poisonous dagger.

"You wretched girl, courting death!" The sly cultivator saw Lin Wan’er, young and beautiful, and a trace of lust flashed in his eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and his dagger traced an eerie arc.

Su Xiaowan raised her small hand, releasing several Talismans: "Immobilization Talisman! Binding Talisman! And... oh no, Itching Talisman!"

A pink-glowing Itching Talisman stuck right onto the sly cultivator’s back as he was fiercely battling Lin Wan’er.

"Ugh... ah... so itchy! So itchy!" The sly cultivator suddenly felt an unbearable itch on his back, as if a thousand ants were crawling, and he couldn’t help but reach back to scratch, his actions immediately became distorted.

Lin Wan’er seized the opportunity, thrusting her sword accurately into his shoulder blade, causing him to scream in agony.

"Hahaha, Xiaowan, well done!" Luo Qingchen couldn’t help but praise. Su Xiaowan’s endless bizarre Talismans always managed to be unexpectedly effective at critical moments.

The hawk-nosed cultivator, witnessing the scene, turned pale with anger. He hadn’t expected that these three sudden appearances would be so powerful, especially that young lad who instantly killed a Golden Core Initial Realm cultivator.

"All together! Kill them!" The hawk-nosed cultivator roared, abandoning the Qingmu Sect individuals to attack Luo Qingchen. The remaining two Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators also joined the fray.

The tall, skinny man from the Qingmu Sect was both shocked and furious at this moment. He glared at Luo Qingchen and shouted sharply, "Luo Qingchen! You dare to show up! Hand over the Star Map bronze plate!"

Luo Qingchen glanced at him and sneered coldly, "A defeated general, and you dare to chatter here? If it weren’t for your potential use, I would have sent you off long ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall skinny man trembled with rage but, recalling Luo Qingchen’s earlier terrifying strength and the bizarre situation now, he dared not make rash moves.

Luo Qingchen ignored him, focusing on dealing with the three cultivators attacking him. Although only thirty or forty percent of his Chaotic Power had been restored, the Chaos Sword Technique was incredibly exquisite, and the Black Dragon Sword was a Divine Weapon. Fighting one against three, he did not fall behind in the slightest.

"Chaos Sword Technique · Star Fall!"

Luo Qingchen seized an opportunity, and the Black Dragon Sword shone with starlight, slashing out as if invoking the Star Force from the Nine Heavens, with a domineering sword momentum.

The hawk-nosed cultivator bore the brunt and felt an unstoppable force coming at him. In haste, he summoned a black shield to defend.

Boom!

The black shield shattered on impact, the hawk-nosed cultivator took a heavy blow, spraying blood from his mouth, flying backward, and crashing into a big tree behind, snapping it.

The other two Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators were scared out of their wits at the sight, no longer daring to fight, immediately turning to flee.

"Want to go? Too late!" Lin Wan’er cried out, her Sword Light flashed, blocking one of them. Su Xiaowan waved her hand, releasing an "Enchanting Talisman." The fleeing cultivator became dazed, running straight into a boulder, immediately resulting in a bloody head.

A moment later, the battle ended. Of the five unidentified cultivators, four were dead and one was captured. The one captured was the hawk-nosed cultivator, pierced through the shoulder blade by Luo Qingchen, his cultivation destroyed, glaring venomously at Luo Qingchen.

The remaining three disciples from the Qingmu Sect, including the tall skinny man at the Golden Core Intermediate Stage, looked at Luo Qingchen and his party with complex expressions, mixed with hatred and fear.

"Speak, who sent you here?" Luo Qingchen walked to the hawk-nosed cultivator, his voice cold.

The hawk-nosed cultivator coldly snorted, turning his head away.

"Not talking, huh? Xiaowan, let him try your new Talisman." Luo Qingchen smiled.

"Sure thing!" Su Xiaowan’s eyes brightened, pulling out a Talisman with a picture of a little ghost sticking its tongue out from her bosom, she said cheerfully, "This is my newly developed ’Truth-telling Talisman.’ Once applied, you’ll spill everything you know!"

Seeing the peculiar Talisman in Su Xiaowan’s hand and recalling the power of the Itching Talisman earlier, cold sweat formed on the hawk-nosed cultivator’s forehead.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" He finally couldn’t bear it and hurriedly said, "It’s the... Zhao Family! Zhao Mingyu, the second son of the Zhao Family, paid a hefty sum to have us hunt down all the escaping Qingmu Sect disciples from Luofeng Slope, and also... the three of you!"

"Zhao Mingyu?" A cold gleam flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes. This guy really is like a lingering ghost!

"Where is he now?"

"We don’t know either. He just sent someone to contact us, gave us a deposit and your portraits, and said he’d pay the balance after it’s done." The hawk-nosed cultivator confessed honestly.

After understanding the situation, Luo Qingchen looked at the tall, skinny man from the Qingmu Sect and said calmly, "You can go. You’re lucky this time."

The tall skinny man’s face showed a mix of emotions, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and fled deep into the forest with the remaining two disciples. He knew they were no match for Luo Qingchen in their current state, staying would only invite humiliation.

"Senior Brother Luo, just letting them go like this?" Su Xiaowan was somewhat reluctant.

"Letting them go might be beneficial in some way." Luo Qingchen said with a significant tone. He vaguely sensed that the feud between Qingmu Sect and the Zhao Family could perhaps buy them some time or divert certain people’s attention.

Having solved this trouble, Luo Qingchen searched the hawk-nosed cultivator’s Storage Bag and found a simple map. The map marked several nearby areas, with one prominently labeled as "Qingyun Square."

"Qingyun Square?" Luo Qingchen’s spirit lifted, "That should be the marketplace affiliated with our Qingyun Sect! Not far from here!"

"Great! We’re finally heading home!" Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er were also beaming with joy.

"Let’s go check out Qingyun Square!" Luo Qingchen put away the map, filled with anticipation in his heart. The closer they got to home, the more urgent his feelings grew.

However, he also felt a faint unease. Zhao Mingyu, being able to hire those people to pursue them and the Qingmu Sect disciples, meant he had already escaped from Luofeng Slope and gathered some forces. Going to Qingyun Square might not be peaceful.

Qingyun Square, situated on a gentle valley on the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountain Range, is the largest gathering place for cultivators under the Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction. The marketplace is quite large, with numerous shops and many cultivators coming and going, usually bustling and lively.

Following the map’s directions, Luo Qingchen and his companions traveled for half a day, finally seeing the outline of Qingyun Square in the distance. However, as they approached, they keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere.

At the marketplace entrance, where normally a few Outer Disciples of the Qingyun Sect symbolically maintained order, there were now over a dozen cultivators clad in uniform armor with fierce auras. Their expressions were cold and they scrutinized every person entering or exiting the marketplace with sharp eyes, conducting extremely strict checks. These individuals were not Qingyun Sect disciples, their armor style was somewhat familiar to Luo Qingchen, seemingly belonging to a private army of an affiliated family with good relations with the Qingyun Sect.

"What’s going on? Why have the marketplace’s guards become so strict?" Su Xiaowan mumbled quietly, grabbing Luo Qingchen’s sleeve a bit nervously.

Luo Qingchen frowned, his sense of unease growing stronger. He gestured for the two girls to stay calm as the three of them joined the flow of people, trying to approach the marketplace entrance inconspicuously.

"Stop! You three, who are you? What are you doing here?" A middle-aged cultivator who looked like the head guard blocked them, his tone unfriendly.

Luo Qingchen bowed slightly, replying calmly, "The three of us are Loose Cultivators out for experience, passing by here, intending to enter the market to replenish some supplies."
