Chapter 45: Lu Chong Returns to the Mountain
A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yi flew over the bamboo forest on a white cloud. This was his first real work and one of the prizes he prepared for the Shenwu Arena. He called it "Auspicious Cloud."

Warriors cannot fly before they have transformed their Qi into Gang at the third level. With this auspicious cloud, low-level warriors can greatly improve their combat capabilities and life-saving abilities. This is because his level of refining equipment is limited, otherwise the auspicious cloud can be used in any realm. Unfortunately, the fastest speed of this auspicious cloud is only equivalent to that of a second-level warrior who controls Qi with all his strength, and the method used is to recognize the master by dripping blood.

It's a little bit worse, but it's novel and is enough to be a prize for the ninth-grade arena.

At this moment, Jiang Miaomiao flew from the south and entered the bamboo forest, shouting as she flew.

"Brother, it's not good!"

"No, that's not right. It's not bad either..." Jiang Miaomiao stopped in front of the auspicious cloud under Jiang Yi's feet, speaking incoherently.

"What's wrong with you? Is it okay or not?" Jiang Yi pulled his sister over and let them fall onto the auspicious cloud.

"Senior Brother Lu has returned to the mountain!" On any other day, Jiang Miaomiao would definitely have a few words with her brother, but at this moment she didn't care about that. Her expression was filled with panic, fear, and confusion, and it was very complicated.

"Which Senior Brother Lu?" Jiang Yi didn't react for a moment.

"It's Senior Brother Lu Chong from the Dawn Palace who went to Jueshui City with us!" When Jiang Miaomiao mentioned Jueshui City, he thought of the catastrophe again, as if he had fallen into the endless blood again.

"What! Are you sure it's Lu Chong from the Lu family?" Jiang Yi was no longer in the mood to joke. Lu Chong, how could it be possible!

Among the disciples of the Mengshen Sect, there are only four who can be considered friends with him: Lin Xiao, who has gone to the mountain and sea battlefield, Pei Hongyu, who has been in seclusion and has been shaken, Meng Pingkang from the Bailian Hall, and Lu Chong, who "died" in Jueshui City!

When he learned that Lu Chong had not escaped, he felt sad for a while, thinking that if he had not left alone, he might have survived.

"I am sure and absolutely certain. Today we went to the Dawn Terrace in Nanshan, and I saw with my own eyes that Senior Brother Lu was sent to the South Tower as soon as he came back!" It may not be a good idea to say that she was scared when she suddenly saw Lu Chong who should have been dead, but Jiang Miaomiao was indeed filled with panic and fear at the time.

Jiang Yi was silent, Lu Chong replied! Lu Chong is still alive! ?
How can it be!

There is definitely something wrong with this Lu Chong!!
When the Jueshui catastrophe occurred and the Blood River Sword Formation was broken, strong men from the four sects in the Southern Region arrived at the first time. He and his sister were the first to escape, and they had just left the Jueshui City. Everyone who came out afterwards was caught by the strong men, and among those who did not escape was the elder of the Wuhen Sect who was famous for his speed.

In fact, even if he had not returned to Jueshui City, he would have been captured by the Four Sects of the Southern Region in no time. Even though Lu Chong had managed to escape, how could he have avoided the search of the Immortal Realm powerhouses?

So there must be something wrong with this Lu Chong, and he is not even surprised that someone has been replaced inside.

But what he didn't understand was why Lu Chong came back?

Since he has escaped everyone's gaze, he is a dead man in everyone's mind. It is no exaggeration to say that the sky is high and the birds fly freely. What can he get by returning to Shuangta Mountain at this time?
"Into the South Tower?"

"Yes, Elder He from the South Tower is leading it personally."

Jiang Yi rode the auspicious cloud back to the Jiang Mansion. He wanted to know more about the follow-up, but his identity was not enough, so he could only learn from Old Jiang.

The wait lasted for seven days, during which time Lao Jiang stayed in the South Tower, but the news of Lu Chong's return had spread throughout Shuangta Mountain.

"What, no problem?" Jiang Yi never expected that he would get such an answer after waiting for seven days. "The sect master, the inheritance elders, and even used the sect's most precious treasure to check from head to toe, inside and out, could not find any problems!"

"But the biggest problem is that there is no problem!" Jiang Mingde's eyes were filled with worry. Jiang Yi was not qualified to know such things, but as a fellow survivor of the Jueshui catastrophe, it would be okay for the father and son to chat and say a few more words.

"What's the sect's plan?" Jiang Yi's mind raced. Sword Domain? But there was no such way to plant a spy. If Lu Changge let him go because he was of the same clan, but then he disappeared from the face of the earth in the South Domain, that didn't make sense. Another person who disappeared from the face of the earth during that catastrophe was Lu Changge!

Moreover, it has been almost six years since the Jueshui catastrophe, why did he come back at this time? Along the way, there were countless industries of the Mengshen Sect, but he did not ask for help, and ran back across two states by himself.

magical!

"The sect has contacted the four sects in the southern region. Until the latest news comes back, Lu Chong will temporarily stay in seclusion in the South Tower."

It's called seclusion, but in fact it's house arrest. How to deal with him afterwards depends on the opinions of the sect's top leaders and Lu Chong's value. In fact, it would be best to just kill him.

"You don't have to worry about this. Aren't you going to take all the prizes for the Shenwu Arena? Time is running out."

"a piece of cake."

"By the way, the Southern Region had been planning to organize an exchange group two years ago, but because of that incident, it has been delayed. This time, the exchange group will definitely come with the news. By then, the four sects in the Southern Region will definitely send disciples to participate in the Shenwu Arena. Don't let your prize down."

"Tsk, it's just a game for a bunch of little warriors. I can just throw out a few of them and blind their eyes."

Although the Chongming Realm has absorbed a lot of weapon refining methods from the Sword Realm and the Hell Soul Realm, it still likes to focus on attack and defense. Therefore, whether it is the Shenwu Arena or the Nine Palaces Martial Arts Show, the prizes are either armor, weapons, or soul protection artifacts.

This is not a problem. Honghuang also emphasizes the integration of attack and defense, and is inherently invincible. However, these treasures often have very high requirements for one's own realm. If the realm is not enough, they will appear cumbersome.

Jiang Yi left the Jiang Mansion and went back to the bamboo courtyard. Taking advantage of the full reimbursement from Bailian Palace this time, he could try out a few more ideas. Not only the prizes, but also a few magic weapons that suited him.

At this time, in the Nanshan Dawn Palace Cemetery, the Lord of the Dawn Palace and the First True Disciple of the Dawn Palace were standing in front of a tomb. Lu Chong's name was engraved on the tombstone.

But this is just a cenotaph. After all, in that catastrophe, among those who died in the Mengshen Sect, only Lan Qushang's body was sent back.

"Master, since Junior Brother Lu has returned, we should demolish this tomb. This is somewhat unlucky!"

“No need. It’s still uncertain what will come back.” The Lord of the Dawn Palace felt chilled at the thought. If they couldn’t find out the problem, not to mention the methods of the Sword Realm, even the methods of the Hell Soul Realm would not be able to withstand such an investigation. If they couldn’t find out, then what could it be?
"what?"

"Now that he has been established, let's keep him. From now on, Lu Chong will no longer belong to the Dawn Palace." Lu Chong of the Dawn Palace is dead, and Lu Chong, who is now under house arrest in the South Tower, has nothing to do with them.

"why?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just remember what I said."
