The night quietly fell. Although there were no stars in the sky and it was especially dark in the sky, it did not have much of an impact on the cultivators and the spirit beasts. After nightfall, the spirit beasts in the Cloud Sky Canyon still came out actively to look for food.

The Lake of Forgotten Smoke at night was still as calm as before. It was as if Yun Tian hadn't placed any spirit beasts in the lake at all, causing the night to be especially quiet. However, the silence of the Lake of Forgotten Smoke wasn't maintained for long before it was broken by a loud sound.

BOOM! In the quiet of the Forgotten Smoke Lake, the noise was even louder.

Chai An held onto his injured arm as he looked vigilantly at Lu Chen in front of him. The top-grade magic tool, the crescent cutter blade in his hand, pointed at Lu Chen with great difficulty. Lake Forgetfulness was too quiet. Although it was very quiet without any spirit beasts to stay in, he knew that the disciples of his sect were all nearby, but they didn't even have a hint of their presence. This made him feel something was wrong.

When he found the blood characters on the ground where Zheng died, he felt even more uneasy. He didn't know if other disciples of his sect had been viciously attacked as well, so he could only continue to investigate. Along the way, he discovered that a few blood characters had already appeared every so often. Although he could tell that the corpses had been put away, he understood that many of his peers had already been killed. This time, there were a total of fifteen people from the Cloud Sky Sect, and just the blood characters alone meant that at least five of his peers had been killed.

When he looked around and saw that night was approaching and he wanted to rest, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. He quickly leaned to the side, but his arm was still injured. Chai An looked solemnly at Lu Chen in front of him. He knew that the person who had killed his peers was right in front of him, but he did not dare to act rashly, because he discovered that although Lu Chen was only at the tenth level of the Refinement Stage, his killing intent was extremely heavy. "Did you kill someone from my Cloud Sky Sect?" Chai An asked.

"You people from the Cloud Sky Sect are really interesting. Why do you keep asking questions when you already know the answer?" Lu Chen chuckled.

"Moon Breaking Slash." When Chai An heard Lu Chen's reply, a surge of anger rose in his heart and he immediately slashed at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen saw a white saber light heading straight for him. He did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. After this afternoon's intense battle, he already understood the consequences of underestimating his enemy.

"Greencloud Shield." Lu Chen brandished his Cyan Cloud Sword and used the Greencloud Shield to erect a large green shield in front of him.

BOOM! The white saber light made contact with the Greencloud Shield, causing a loud sound that resonated through the Forgotten Smoke Lake.

After holding on for a while, the Greencloud Shield crumbled. After all, Chai An's was a top-grade magic tool. The 'Breaking Moon Slash' slashed through the shield and landed on Lu Chen's body.

Lu Chen was suddenly pushed dozens of meters away by the impact. Lu Chen looked at Chai An with a grave expression, "A top-grade magic tool." Lu Chen said gloomily. At this moment, he realized that his Cyan Cloud Shield was insufficient. This was also related to his cultivation level, but right now, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Flame Dragon." Lu Chen took advantage of the opportunity to retreat and used the Flame Dragon Spell. A roaring Flame Dragon flew directly towards Chai An.

"Bright Shield." Chai An summoned his top-grade magic tool, the Brilliant Shield. A transparent shield blocked Chai An's path.

"Divide." Lu Chen said softly. Following Lu Chen's soft shout, the Flame Dragon split into three and two flew towards Chai An from two sides. This move was developed by Lu Chen during his free time, but because he was currently controlling three Flame Dragons, the pressure on Lu Chen became much greater. After the Flame Dragons separated, Lu Chen's complexion paled, and the spiritual energy in his body was sucked away.

"Ah!" Although Chai An's bright shield blocked one Flame Dragon's attack, there were still two of them that directly bypassed the bright shield and struck his body. A large area of his body was instantly burned and he cried out in pain.

"Clear Sky Slash." Lu Chen could feel that he had recovered part of the spiritual force in his body. He immediately executed the Clear Sky Slash in an attempt to take advantage of this victory.

Chai An felt that he had already received a heavy injury. He glared at Lu Chen viciously, urging out a drop of blood essence to make Lu Chen flee.

Lu Chen sighed as he looked at Chai An's back. He could only shake his head and say, "I was too careless. I didn't think that people from the Cloud Sky Sect would actually use a Devil Sect's evasion technique like Blood Escape." Lu Chen said. "It gives him a headache to think about how he will face the Cloud Sky Sect's questioning once he leaves." Forget it, I am not the only one who is doing this in the Cloud Sky Brook. "However, I won't be polite with these things." Lu Chen thought about it for a moment, then decided to loot all the spiritual medicines from Forgotten Lake. He then looked around to see if he could find Chai An.

The sky began to brighten. Seeing that the sky was already bright, Lu Chen decided to search for the treasures that Yun Tian had left behind with the map he had obtained from the disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect. After a night of rest, Lu Chen's spiritual energy was finally exhausted once again. Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in his body, Lu Chen stretched his body and walked towards the east side of the Lake of Forgotten.

Lu Chen walked along the lake as he looked at the calm surface of the lake. Feeling the rare serenity, he also felt his heart calming down. The killing intent that was about to stir from within him also calmed down. Although he was not a good person in the past, he would not kill people because of his personal preferences. Although Ling Tian had said that he would not let go of any Cloud Sky Sect disciples, he did not say that he would kill all of them here. This was because if you were to say that you killed one or two disciples for the sake of seizing the treasure, then the purpose of killing all the disciples would be questionable. And at that time, because Lu Chen had killed many spirit beasts in the past few days, his thirst for slaughter had been completely aroused. Normally, Lu Chen's caution today was enough to prove that he was a little obsessed.

Lu Chen looked down at the surface of the lake and was shocked awake by the hostility in his eyes.

"I seem to be getting a little obsessed." Lu Chen smiled bitterly. At this moment, he also realized that something was wrong with him. He had always wanted to vent the hatred the clan had on him. However, if he didn't calm down, it would've been even worse.

Understanding this point, Lu Chen decided to temporarily cultivate quietly by the Forgotten Smoke Lake. After calming down the killing intent in his heart, he would think about his plans after leaving home.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. During these ten days, Lu Chen sat motionless by the Forgotten Smoke Lake, staring unblinkingly at the Forgotten Smoke Lake. If it wasn't for Lu Chen's occasional breathing, people would think that he had lost his life and was just a corpse sitting there.

Chai An had originally been hiding in the shadows to recuperate and come out to seek revenge on Lu Chen in order to recover from his injuries. After more than ten days of recuperation, Chai An's injuries had finally healed, so he came out to carefully check if there were any traces of Lu Chen. Chai An was overjoyed, but most of it was doubt.

Chai An was afraid of being deceived, so he carefully approached Lu Chen step by step. When he was 20 meters away from Lu Chen, he discovered that there was still no movement from Lu Chen. "Could he be dead?" Chai An asked curiously. Right now, Lu Chen was in a meditative state and his aura had completely disappeared. This was also the reason why Chai An felt it was strange.

"Moon Breaking Slash." Chai An hesitated for a long time before deciding to take action. It didn't matter if Lu Chen was dead or not, he still had to try.

A white saber light slashed towards Lu Chen, but Lu Chen did not move to let the Moon Breaking Slash land on him.

However, because Lu Chen's body was so strong that not a single mark was left on his body, Chai An was greatly alarmed. His heart was filled with fear and he was about to run away.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you going?" Although Lu Chen was not injured, he was woken up by the knife. He sensed that Chai An wanted to kill him, but with a thought, he came up with an idea. Lu Chen got up and used Ghost Steps to slide in front of Chai An with a smile.

"You, you're not dead?" Chai An said nervously.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm just resting there. However, fellow daoist, why did you kill me when I said nothing?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Stop pretending! You killed so many disciples of our Cloud Sky Sect and now you want to kill me? What do you think I want to do?" Chai An sneered.

"Fellow said that we need to know the truth. Did you see me kill a disciple of your Cloud Sky Sect?" Adding on the fact that our two sects are cooperating, why should I kill people from your Cloud Sky Sect, what benefits does this have to our Cloudsoaring sect? " Lu Chen frowned.

Chai An was also stunned by Lu Chen's words. He had indeed not seen Lu Chen kill his sect's disciples, but when he thought about what Lu Chen had said that day, he said, "You admitted it yourself." Chai An said.

Lu Chen thought of what he had said that day and felt a headache coming on, "What I meant the other day was that I knew full well that it wasn't why I was still asking."

"But you can't deny that you tried to kill me that day." Chai An said.

"I only fought back because you wanted to kill me first." Lu Chen feigned innocence.

"Humph, no matter how much of an excuse you make, I won't believe you. Die, Moon Breaking Slash." Chai An insisted.

Seeing Chai An like this, Lu Chen knew that no matter what he said, he didn't care and directly punched Chai An.

"You." Chai An wanted to say something when he saw the hole in his chest, but he died without saying anything.

"I didn't want to kill you, but why did you have to suffer?" Lu Chen sighed and burned Chai An's corpse. This isn't a place to stay for a long time. With that, Lu Chen left.
