Chapter 405: The Battle of Luo Tian (Part 2)

Chapter 405: The Battle of Luo Tian (Part 2)

After a brief calculation, Pine Wind Zi's heart sank slightly.

He had come to raid, not to stay in Heavenly Wave Immortal City for long.

His goal was those four Core Formation Secret Techniques.

Initially, he hadn't planned to take the lead in this battle.

But now, it seemed that the Iron Sword Hall, led by him, had become the main force in the attack on Crimson Cloud Peak and the Luo Tian Association.

This didn't align with his initial expectations!

Just as he was feeling displeased, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls of the hall, looking into the interior of Rolling Dragon Ridge.

There were two auras there, not inferior to his own.

One of them even faintly radiated the aura of a Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Is this a deliberate signal to reassure me?"

While he was pondering, Zheng Kexian suddenly took out a token, his face beaming with joy.

"Everyone, a true disciple of the Flame Alliance has arrived!"

Everyone was taken aback, then their faces lit up with excitement.

The arrival of a true disciple of the Flame Alliance meant something significant, and everyone knew it.

Pine Wind Zi and Xiahou Kun exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

Led by Zheng Kexian, everyone went out to wait for the guests.

Soon, three rays of light descended upon Rolling Dragon Ridge.

The leader was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

But the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him clearly deferred to him.

Seeing those two, Xiahou Kun whispered.

"They are not Flame Alliance disciples, but experts from two major Flame Alliance vassal families in Tianhuo City. It seems the Flame Alliance felt this battle was uncertain and sought their help."

Pine Wind Zi's lips curled up.

With this, their side now had a total of eight great cultivators!

What did the Luo Tian Association have to fight with?

As they were secretly communicating, Zheng Kexian had already bowed and called out.

"Welcome, Qin Zhenchuan!"

The young man glanced at them, waved his sleeve, and entered the hall with the two great cultivators.

This self-assured move left the Foundation Establishment cultivators, who had intended to build relationships, frozen in place.

Only Pine Wind Zi chuckled and followed in with grace.

He was already accustomed to dealing with sect disciples in the Medicine King Domain.

The Medicine King Sect was a Nascent Soul upper sect that dominated a domain, and its disciples were even more arrogant than this Qin Zhenchuan.

Others, perhaps used to wielding power in their own territories, were not accustomed to being ignored!

Once everyone was inside,

Qin Zhenchuan suddenly turned, looking at them with displeasure.

"You've been dealing with a single Luo Tian Association for several years and haven't managed to take it down. A bunch of useless fools!"

Everyone's expressions stiffened, at a loss for words.

Zheng Kexian's ancestors were true disciples of the Flame Alliance and pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators!

He, too, had experience dealing with major sect disciples.

He said cautiously, "We failed in our task, causing Qin Zhenchuan to worry."

There's a saying: a smiling face never gets slapped.

Qin Zhenchuan snorted but stopped scolding.

Instead, he pointed to the two people beside him and said:

"I know you are not up to the task. This time, I specially brought two experts from Flame Alliance vassal families. You've heard of Tuobada Lingfei and Xiang Zhonghe, right?"

The two men had stern faces, their gazes sweeping over the crowd without stopping.

Only when it came to Pine Wind Zi and Xiahou Kun did he pause slightly, nodding lightly.

This was a sign of acknowledgment for their equal strength.

Xiahou Kun had long known the origins of the two, and at this moment, he agreed, "I've heard of your brilliant performance on the Thunder Mountain battlefield, fellow cultivators. It's a shame we meet only now!"

Qin Zhenchuan glanced at him and then looked towards Zheng Kexian.

"Where is Senior Brother Zheng Xian?"

Zheng Kexian carefully replied, "Uncle is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment."

Pine Wind Zi, sitting nearby, heard these words and his face showed a thoughtful expression.

The aura he had sensed earlier, which was close to the peak of Foundation Establishment, must be the Zheng Xian they were talking about.

Qin Zhenchuan frowned and said, "It's not easy for our Flame Alliance to take action against the Luo Tian Association. But Senior Brother Zheng Xian made a mistake in the past and was expelled from the sect. If he can annihilate the Luo Tian Association this time and restore the reputation of our Flame Alliance, my grandfather will take the initiative to take him back and even help him condense his Golden Core."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Kexian couldn't help but show an expression of ecstatic joy.

Although Zheng Xian was not from the Rolling Dragon Ridge branch of the Zheng family.

But in the past, he also had the same bloodline as the old ancestor who founded the Zheng family.

It's just that the old ancestor left the sect and came to Heavenly Wave Immortal City to spread his lineage, while Zheng Xian's father chose to stay within the sect.

If this opportunity to annihilate the Luo Tian Association could bring Zheng Xian back into the Flame Alliance, the Zheng family would once again have a powerful backer.

If he could successfully form his Golden Core, it would be even more joyous!

However, the prerequisite for all this was the annihilation of the Luo Tian Association.

Zheng Kexian cautiously asked, "The Luo Tian Association is a vassal of the Ice Fortress, and Dan Chenzi, their leader, is highly valued by the Ice Fortress. He was even promoted exceptionally and appointed as a guest elder in the Ice Fortress. If we take action, will it provoke the Ice Fortress...?"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that."

Qin Zhenchuan snorted lightly, clasping his hands in a fist and saluting in the direction of Heavenly Wave Immortal City.

"My grandfather arrived in Heavenly Wave yesterday. If the Ice Fortress doesn't take action, then so be it. But if they do, it will be an opportunity for my grandfather to grasp their weakness."

"Just do your own thing!"

Zheng Kexian was startled, and the heavy burden in his heart finally lifted.

The others in the hall were also pleasantly surprised.

With a Golden Core Senior backing them, this battle was as good as won!

"Oh, by the way, there's something you might not know." Qin Zhenchuan chuckled, "My grandfather used his connections to check the merit registry of the Four Sects Alliance. Your father, Zheng Tianfang, was killed by Dan Chenzi."

At this moment,

Everyone's gaze fell upon Zheng Kexian.

His body trembled continuously, and finally, he calmed down.

His face contorted, his eyes bloodshot, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"If I don't avenge this, I'm not worthy of being his son!"

"We, the Zheng family, will come out in full force to annihilate the Luo Tian Association. We will leave nothing behind in Danxia, not a single brick or blade of grass!"

...

Several days later.

In the Ice Palace of Heavenly Wave Immortal City.

The four powers gathered!

The Ice Fortress, which should have been the host, was represented by Yin Xiuhua, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he was seated at the lowest position.

Before the three factions, his face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Tao Wan sat in an ice chair, her smile serene, as if watching a play.

The play, of course, was the confrontation between the two Golden Core Seniors!

The Elder Fei from Ailao Mountain and the Elder Qin from the Flame Alliance.

In the twenty-year-long internal strife of the Jade Cauldron, each sect suffered losses and harbored grudges.

Among them, only Ailao Mountain and the Flame Alliance had deep-seated grudges!

Not only did they fight to the death in the Black Water Marsh, but they also clashed several times on the Thunder Mountain battlefield.

Elder Fei had fought with this Qin Elder from the Flame Alliance more than three times.

Looking at his old opponent, Elder Fei's eyes blazed with fire, "No matter how you calculate it, the management rights of the Immortal City do not fall to your Flame Alliance. This time, you've come in vain."

Qin Tai Ran coldly snorted, "A defeated opponent, how can you speak of bravery?"

The irrelevant answer, however, hit Elder Fei's soft spot.

In those several battles, almost every time ended with his defeat.

Without the support of the Golden Core Senior from the Four Sects Alliance, he might not have been able to keep his life.

Elder Fei took a deep breath and stared at his opponent, "You came to Heavenly Wave alone, entering the tiger's den. Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

Qin Tai Ran pulled at the corners of his mouth, "I came if I wanted to, and I'll leave if I want to. Not just you, even if Heartless Immortal is here, I wouldn't be afraid!"

Although he said this, his tone was clearly weaker than before.

It was simple logic; Heartless Immortal was not currently in Heavenly Wave.

Or, to be precise, the Ice Fortress had no Golden Core cultivators here.

Otherwise, Yin Xiuhua wouldn't be sitting in the lowest position.

Fei Ming coldly smiled; if it were in the outside world, he wouldn't dare claim to be the opponent's match.

But within the Immortal City, he truly wasn't afraid of his opponent!

Because when this Heavenly Wave Immortal City was built, the Ailao Mountain lineage had contributed greatly, and they were more familiar with the array construction than the other six sects.

If it came to a life-and-death battle, he was confident in taking down his opponent.

The only concern was the attitude of the Golden Core Senior from the Vast Wisdom Sect's legacy who was currently in charge of Heavenly Wave Immortal City.

This person was impartial and only acted for money.

Cultivators from the seven sects were not allowed to fight within the Immortal City, not even Golden Core Seniors!

Tao Wan shook her head and, as a junior, joined the conversation.

"Let's talk about the rotation cycle of the Immortal City."

"This matter has been dragging on for several days. If we continue to delay, it's a waste of everyone's time.

"Elder Qin, in terms of both emotions and reason, the management rights for the next decade in Immortal City should rightfully belong to Ailao Mountain. Your arrival with an army to question and reprimand us is rather unreasonable and disruptive."

Qin Tai Ran glanced at her.

"Junior, this is not your place to speak."

Tao Wan smiled gently, lightly tapping the ice table, and the Dragon Elder from Longshou Peak entered from outside the hall.

"Tao Wan is the future leader of Qingdan Valley, so naturally, she has the right to speak here."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Tai Ran let out a cold snort.

"Fine!"

"Since you want to discuss the rotation of Heavenly Wave City, then I'll be straightforward about it."

"The Ice Fortress has already exceeded its term by twenty years, and from your attitude, it seems you intend to have the next decade as yours as well."

"Then I must ask, what about after ten years?"

The Elder Fei from Ailao Mountain replied, "After ten years, of course, we'll discuss it again after ten years."

Slap! Qin Tai Ran slammed his palm onto the ice table, shattering it into pieces.

The powder scattered, even cutting a thin line of blood on Yin Xiuhua's face.

Her face paled slightly, "Elder!"

Qin Tai Ran glared at them coldly, "You've given thirty years to the Ice Fortress, and by the time the Heavenly Wave Immortal City is managed by them like an iron bucket, the benefits for our Flame Alliance will be greatly reduced."

"Then you can go and negotiate with the Falling Cloud Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Hundred Flowers Palace!" Elder Fei didn't budge, directly passing the responsibility to the two Nascent Soul upper sects and the Hundred Flowers Palace, which had the backing of the Vast Wisdom Sect.

Although the Flame Alliance was powerful, it was nothing compared to the three upper sects.

They wouldn't dare go and demand an explanation.

Qin Tai Ran's face darkened, "Anyway, the Flame Alliance does not agree with your disregard for the rules."

"Just because you disagree, it can't be done? Why don't you go and mediate the war between the two upper sects? Flame Alliance, tsk, you're quite ambitious."

Facing this sarcastic remark, the hot-tempered Qin Tai Ran should have rebuked him.

But he restrained his temper and began to discuss seriously.

"Some things, when the rules are broken, make things difficult for everyone."

"Because of the war, the internal strength of the Jade Cauldron Region has been severely damaged, instead benefiting those loose cultivators from outside the region."

"The number of vassals in the Flame Alliance in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City has already decreased sharply. After several decades, won't your sect also seek benefits?"

Elder Fei from Ailao Mountain was momentarily stumped by the question.

Initially, when the Falling Cloud Sect mediated the four sects' management rights in the Immortal City, they painted a beautiful blueprint.

But now, it seems there was a significant loophole due to the influx of loose cultivators from outside the region.

And Tao Wan, who had spoken earlier, keenly sensed something amiss.

Qin Tai Ran's attitude had changed, becoming ambiguous.

He had dragged his feet for several days, not budging an inch.

But today, after a few brief words, his attitude softened.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and her face paled slightly.

She ignored the several Golden Core Seniors and directly stood up, heading outside.

The Dragon Elder frowned, glanced at Qin Tai Ran, and then followed Tao Wan out.

As soon as they left the Ice Palace, with his Golden Core stage divine sense, he instantly sensed something amiss.

The entire Immortal City was in an uproar.

Large crowds were pouring out of the city, their clamor filling the air.

"They're fighting!"

"Let's go, quickly, and watch the show."

"Maybe we can even gain some benefits."

Amidst the chaotic clamor, Tao Wan sighed softly.

"That Elder Qin, it's clear that he has ulterior motives!"

As she spoke, Qin Tai Ran had already exited.

He gave them a cold look and immediately rode his flying sword towards the outside of the city, in the direction of Danxia Peak.

Tao Wan said softly, "Let's go too!"

The Dragon Elder rolled up his sleeves, and a flying sword carried Tao Wan, following closely behind.

By the time they arrived, Yin Xiuhua's face was pale with shock as she hurried out.

The Elder Fei from Ailao Mountain beside her coldly snorted, "Old man, you're being deliberately mysterious. It's not about the management rights of the Immortal City, but to restore the reputation of the Flame Alliance. Juniors, your sect wants to take over the management after the Heartless Immortal has managed it for twenty years, but if the peach tree is cut down, it will become a big joke!"

After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Yin Xiuhua's pale face and also rushed out of the city.

"Come, mobilize the enforcement team, and follow me out of the city!"

"Senior Sister, the Immortal City's enforcement team cannot get involved in conflicts outside the city, we can't break this rule!"

Yin Xiuhua stamped her foot and hurriedly started running on the streets within the city.

Golden Core cultivators could ignore the city's rules and ride their flying swords, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she couldn't break this rule.

Once outside the city, Yin Xiuhua quickly summoned her flying sword to increase her speed.

When she finally arrived at Danxia Peak, the scene before her made her beautiful face lose its color.

Countless flying swords filled the sky, and spiritual energy surged.

Cultivators were everywhere, and the battle raged fiercely! Eight late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators led thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a thousand Qi Condensation Period Cultivators, surrounding the towering Danxia Peak.

There was also a Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator who stepped forward.

"Zheng Xian of Rolling Dragon Ridge has come to pay respects to the mountain!"

His clear voice echoed like waves, rolling forward.

When his words fell, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators attacked together, gathering their immense spiritual power and wielding their magic tools and treasures, striking towards Danxia Peak!

For a moment, the sky was filled with colorful lights, and the earth shook.

This grand scene, when it fell into the eyes of the older generation of the Heavenly Wave Immortal City, evoked a sense of familiarity.

"The Danxia Mountain's Meng family incident from a hundred years ago is happening again!"
