60 Counterattack!

Chen Luoyang looked at the cauldron and felt unprecedentedly pleasant. At the same time, he was thoroughly displaying the specialty of how a man was never content, just like how a snake would wish to swallow an elephant.

It would be great if I am able to concoct the Creation True Elixir or Heaven Spirit Return Immortal Elixir, giving me an instant recovery. The Seven Treasure Heart Nourishing Elixir and the Mystic Firm Life Elixir are also great as they can recover up to 80% of the injuries, and I would reach full recovery in 10 days.

While Chen Luoyang's thoughts were running wild, he let out a silent sigh.

The black pot was able to provide a comprehensive list of elixir formulas, but the better the elixir, the higher the amount of blood-red serum required. However, when the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir was ready, it would also be able to improve his injuries significantly. When used together with the shard of the Sword Sovereign's sword whetstone, he would need around forty days to fully recover.

But before that, I believe that my body's health should already have a great improvement, right? I just wonder if the Stake All Technique would have any changes by then… While Chen Luoyang was planning in his mind, he slowly composed himself.

Right now, it wasn't beneficial to think too much. He had already done everything he was supposed to do, and the only thing to do now was to wait patiently.

What was worth being happy about was that Chen Luoyang didn't have to do anything else for the next 20 hours and just had to wait for the elixir medication in the cauldron to automatically mature. During the wait, he just had to watch.

Chen Luoyang had made preparations before he started concocting the elixir. He put on a curtain for this quiet room to block and isolate the cauldron. Afterwards, he used an ordinary incense burner in the room and lit up the fragrance within.

The radiance within the cauldron was concentrated and reserved, while the medicine's fragrance wasn't that strong. Right now, the fragrance from the incense burner had pervaded the room and covered the medicine's fragrance.

Chen Luoyang then nodded with satisfaction while he sat outside the quiet room. Even if he had meetings with his cult members, he wouldn't have to worry that the cauldron would be exposed.

Previously when he was still in the Amrita Manor at the Shu Prefecture's Cloud Martial County, he would light up the incense burner on a daily basis to serve as a cover for his concocting. It didn't matter if the original Demon Cult Master had this habit; after a period of time, the cult members were already used to Chen Luoyang lighting the incense burner.

Even though they might be suspicious at first, after so many days, they were already numbed.

Chen Luoyang sat on the chair outside the quiet room and regulated his breath to rest. One of his hands was in his pocket and playing with a shard. It was one of the shards that came from Sword Pavilion Lord's sword whetstone.

Chen Luoyang quietly closed his eyes while he was analyzing the sword intent within and matching it with the Clear Sky Sword Qi that was lingering in his body.

In order to prevent any mishaps, he had set up all those covers. However, he had already given the instructions that no one was to disturb him, including Ying Qingqing. As such, he had a tranquil moment from start to end.

A few hours passed by quickly.

While Chen Luoyang was analyzing the Clear Sky Sword Intent, he was also silently sorting out the absolute arts that this Demon Cult Master was proficient in. After successfully defeating Black Emperor Xiuzhe and Demon Monk Mingfa consecutively, Chen Luoyang wasn't complacent. He was just like a dried-up sponge that constantly absorbed information.

After a certain period of cultivation and practice, he stood up and stretched his body.

He wondered what was the outcome of the pursuit of Shi Jing, Li Tai, Xiuzhe, and others? While thinking about this question, he checked on Xiuzhe and Shi Jing's information again.

There was already new information.

Xiuzhe had suffered another setback as the Ten Gallants' number two expert, "Ghost Sword" Guo Ninglong, had also parted ways with him.

This wasn't considered a big surprise. "Ghost Sword" Guo Ninglong was able to take such a high position in the Ten Gallants purely because of his cultivation and strength. In terms of loyalty and concern, he was probably ranked the worst among the Ten Gallants.

Seeing that the ship was going to sink, it was hard for him to continue suffering with Xiuzhe. The Other Tribe Left Sage King might not be utterly abandoned by his subordinates, but it was almost the case.

As compared to the moment when he marched south with all his Ten Gallants who were all emitting imposing presences, right now, Xiuzhe was only left with a few trivial characters beside him.

Even if the Demon Cult didn't pursue him, it was rather doubtful if he would be able to make it back to the Northern Desert Outwalls alive. There was doubt because those Central Province elites were all busy conquering the south; otherwise, there wasn't a need to say anything else. It wasn't a matter of whether he would be able to make it back; he definitely wouldn't make it back.

The number of Central Province elites that wanted to kill Black Emperor Xiuzhe wasn't lacking at all. Now that the alliance army was busy trying to attack the Demon Cult, it gave Xiuzhe chances to return back to the north. However, he had to break away from the pursuit of the Demon Cult experts first.

As for Shi Jing's side…

Chen Luoyang blinked his eyes after reading.

This kid severed his own arm to compensate Xie Xingmang? Chen Luoyang was sneering.

This is a burden that I won't carry. You did it of your own accord. Who can you blame but yourself?

However, after reading the next line, Chen Luoyang frowned slightly.

[Urgently rushing towards the west with Nie Hua who carries Xie Xingmang. They met up with the chief supervisor that served the Great Xia Empire's First Prince Li Qian. They are attempting to ambush and counterattack…]

Chen Luoyang looked at the ceiling and was pondering. Before this, there wasn't any mention of Shi Jing and Nie Hua contacting the First Prince Li Qian. It was probably due to the fact that they were together with Sixth Prince Li Tai previously.

However, it was obvious that they knew where the First Prince, Li Qian, was and had taken the initiative to seek help.

According to the Demon Cult's information network, Li Qian was the Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong's eldest son and was also the most outstanding descendant in the Great Xia Empire. Right now, he had the upper hand in the contest for the position of Crown Prince.

Sixth Prince Li Tai was a martial king at the 10th Intent Congealing Stage. First Prince Li Qian was superior and was at the 11th Apotheosis Stage.

If that was only the case, then it wouldn't really matter, but it was unknown if there would be other formidable experts together with the First Prince, Li Qian.

If Shi Jing and Nie Hua were to join with them, they would become a powerful force.

Do they really have the guts to counterattack? Chen Luoyang frowned.

One entire day meant 24 hours. It isn't time yet… I am still unable to use the Stake All Technique right now.

Previously, he didn't want his subordinates to chase the enemies to their death because he was worried about such a situation. It was a pity that he had to brace himself and carry on.

Chen Luoyang looked back at the quiet room that was covered by the curtain. There were still a few hours before the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir would be completed. There better not be any additional problems!

Chen Luoyang knocked on his jade pendant and Vajra quickly appeared. "Will Cult Master please give the instructions."

"How is the situation in the pursuit?" Chen Luoyang acted as though he didn't care as he asked.

Vajra replied, "Reporting to the Cult Master, the enemies split up to escape. Currently, Elder Shou is chasing after Xiuzhe. Elder Fu is chasing after that old ghost, Wen Liu. Old Shangguan is chasing after Sixth Prince Li Tai. Left Envoy Xiao and Mingjing are chasing after the three kids from the Sword Pavilion. Almost all of them are injured, but they are rather capable. Some time might be needed to deal with them, but it shouldn't be long now."

Vajra chuckled and said, "Had Cult Master not given the order to capture them alive, it would have been much faster."

Chen Luoyang nodded and just as he wanted to speak, Zhang Tianheng sought an urgent audience.

After the Demon Cult's Protector Zhurong obtained permission, he walked in with a dark face and knelt on one knee. "Reporting to Cult Master, Left Envoy Xiao and Elder Mingjing have been ambushed!"
