C4 Mu Wan

City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Chen was sitting cross-legged in the secret chamber while Uncle Fu was guarding outside. No one could get close to him.

* Hua La! *

He took out the materials Uncle Fu had found for him and carefully combed through them. After that, he nodded his head in satisfaction.

"To me, the three great clans are only the first test after my rebirth. If I can't even pass this test, then how can I forge Invincible Divine Body?"

Lu Chen muttered to himself.

Tianhuang City was a small city. The martial arts here were not flourishing. The strongest warriors of the three great families were only Soul Meridian Stage warriors.

To Dragon Emperor in his previous life, he was like an ant.

However, the current Lu Chen couldn't confront the three families with his own strength. After all, the gap between their cultivation realms was too big.

In a few days' time, he would be attending the banquet.

He would definitely encounter many unforeseen circumstances when he went there. He had to make preparations in advance.

He had just broken through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering not long ago, and it would be very difficult for him to advance his Thunder Fire Breathing Arts within a short period of time. He would also not be able to make another breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

In that case, he would use other ways to improve his strength.

In his past life, Dragon Emperor had cultivated to the peak of his cultivation, and he had many techniques, including formations.

"In my current situation, formations are the most suitable."

Powerful formations could double the strength of warriors. Some sealing formations could even seal the void and trap Soul Meridian Stage warriors.

After searching in his mind for a while, Lu Chen finally chose the Vein Locking Array.

Soul Meridian Stage, as the name suggested, could refine the meridians and cleanse the soul, penetrate all the meridians in his body, open his apertures, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

Once this Vein Locking Array was set up, it could temporarily seal the meridians of Soul Meridian Stage martial artists, making them unable to unleash their full strength.

"This is it."

Lu Chen nodded his head to confirm.

After that, he started to make arrangements.

With the experience of the Array Dao from his previous life, Lu Chen was able to arrange the formation with ease. If it wasn't because his cultivation base was too low, he would be able to set up even stronger formations.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

His hands were forming complicated Seal. The materials in front of him were placed in different positions. After a while, the secret chamber was filled with multicolored light, and the Array Base had already taken shape.

Seeing this, Lu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and continued to lay down the core of the formation.

Rip!

While setting up the center of the formation, Lu Chen made a small mistake, but he quickly adjusted it.

He shook his head, "It's been a long time since I set up the formation. I'm a little rusty."

In his mind, he quickly circulated the circulation path of the Vein Locking Array. Both of his hands transformed, and the aura in the secret chamber was suppressed to the extreme.

Weng!

Suddenly, the void paused for a moment, and then a gray aura emerged from the Array Base. It intertwined with each other and sealed the secret chamber.

"Formation, done."

Lu Chen retracted his palm and said with a smile.

Being in the Vein Locking Array, he could clearly feel the pressure brought by the formation, "Although there is a big gap between the power of the Vein Locking Array I set up in my previous life, it is enough to deal with Soul Meridian Stage warriors from the three families."

After carefully inspecting the formation and confirming that there was no problem with the Vein Locking Array, Lu Chen willed the formation to collapse. More than half of the materials had already been used by him.

"What a pity. If the quality of the materials were to increase a little, the power of the formation could still be increased."

Lu Chen sighed with emotion.

Currently, he was in a slightly awkward situation. Although he was the City Lord, he didn't have much control over the resources. It could even be said to be very little.

"Forget it. Let's just use it for now."

The Vein Locking Array was Lu Chen's trump card, and it was used to deal with any crisis. Next, his eyes fell on the saber.

No matter what, Tianhuang City was the place where his father, Prince Zhan, started his family. How could he allow the three great families to act so recklessly?

With the Vein Locking Array, he could deal with the Soul Meridian Stage warriors of the three families at the banquet without any worries.

"In the past, I was also a blacksmith. Although I wasn't proficient in it, I know the art of weapon forging like the back of my hand." Lu Chen said, "I remember that there was an introductory art of refining that could raise the grade of a weapon."

Lu Chen took out the materials that Uncle Fu had prepared and picked a few medicinal herbs. He kneaded them into a ball and absorbed the medicinal strength within. After a moment, the medicinal herbs withered and the medicinal strength was absorbed into his palm.

In his palm, the blue energy was emitting a gentle light.

Lu Chen circulated the Secret Arts and injected the blue energy into the combat blade.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

When the combat blade came into contact with the blue energy, it underwent a mutation. A strange light was emitted from the blade, and the tip of the blade was flashing with a scarlet color.

"Condense."

The blade hovered in front of him, and the blue energy had already completely fused with it.

At this moment, Lu Chen held the hilt of the combat blade in both hands and let out a low shout. There was a mysterious force in his body that collided with the blue energy in the combat blade, and a dazzling spark burst out.

When the spark dissipated, the surface of the combat blade flickered with a golden luster, giving people an incomparably heavy feeling.

"Second step."

Lu Chen felt the aura emitted from the blade and said with a joyful expression.

This Secret Arts seemed simple, but it was actually a little difficult for him to use it at his current stage. After all, his body condition was far from being comparable to his previous life.

However, he had finally completed it.

After the quality of the saber had been raised to the second rank, its power had been increased. "The younger generation of the three great families?" Lu Chen sneered. With this combat blade, he could sweep away the younger generation of Tianhuang City.

...

City Lord's Mansion, Square.

"Wan Er"

One. A young man in black clothes stood next to Muh Wan with a smile and a thunderous aura.

Muh Wan was the prettiest girl in Tianhuang City and the beloved daughter of Muh family. It was said that not long ago, she had been chosen by a big cultivation sect in Celestial Illusion Dynasty. After attending the banquet, she would leave.

"Lei Lian, I told you that you don't have to follow me anymore." Muh Wan looked a little unhappy. She wore a white dress and looked like an otherworldly fairy.

She had a cold face and did not want to stand with Lei Lian.

"Wan Er, I..." Lei Lian wanted to say something but stopped himself.

In the distance, Lu Chen just came out of the secret room and saw Muh Wan, so he walked over.

"Wan Er."

Lu Chen said calmly.

"Lu Chen."

Muh Wan raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Chen.

"I have come to see you. After the banquet is over, I will go to Lishan Sect to cultivate." Muh Wan said. Her words revealed a trace of pride.

"En." Lu Chen nodded his head. His face was as calm as an ancient well, and he didn't show any unusual expression.

Muh Wan was a little disappointed. At the same time, she was clearer about the distance between her and Lu Chen. They had known each other in the past and knew each other. They had completely drifted away with the wind.

"I'm leaving." Muh Wan turned around and left.

Lei Lian glared at Lu Chen and wanted to scold him, but when he saw Uncle Fu walking over, he lowered his head and chased after Muh Wan.

"Muh Wan..."

Lu Chen suddenly opened his mouth and took out a jade pendant from his pocket, "When we were in the Imperial City, you called me big brother. I also treat you like a little sister, but now... this jade pendant, you should take it back."

Swoosh!

Muh Wan received the jade pendant and coldly snorted.

"Also, the last time you brought Lei Lian with you, you had an argument with Xin'er and injured her. I hope that there won't be a second time."

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Muh Wan and Lei Lian. He turned around and left.

A trace of cold killing intent flashed in the depths of Lei Lian's eyes. "I hope that you can still be so arrogant at the banquet."
