Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2491: Chapter 916: Troubled Times, Harvesting Soul Essence

The once Jianchuan Shen Family can now be renamed as the Tu River Shen Family.

The stream in front of the clan is no longer the Jianchuan River, flying high like a sword, but has turned into the all-day muddy and chaotic Tu River.

But all of this was forced.

Under the moonlight.

Luo Chen stood by the window, a look of regret on his face.

“I didn’t expect such a big change in the external world in just three years.”

The change in the Eastern Wasteland was something nobody had anticipated.

The Mingyuan Sacred Land was submerged by the Nether Abyss, filled with endless ghost creatures, already shocking enough.

But the return of demon beasts from the Million Mountains to attack the Human Immortal Cultivation World again was even more unexpected.

Moreover!

Leading this war was surprisingly the Feather Race’s Holy Land, Cangwu Mountain!

Led by Deputy Hall Master Youquan of Transmitting Truth Hall, they formed the three Great Demon Emperors Bull Demon, Bi Zheng, and Juan Kuang, along with countless lower order demon beasts, charging into the human clan territories.

In just a few months, they again assembled outside the Six Realms of the Far East.

Compared to the last time, the demon clan’s attack wasn’t as grand this time.

But the human clan, after a hundred years of fierce battle, was greatly diminished in vitality.

Especially when the backing—Mingyuan Sacred Land—collapsed.

For a time, people were in panic.

The unexpected thing was, the demon clan’s attack wasn’t as violent as last time, merely assembling outside the Six Realms of the Far East, standing still.

It seemed more like intimidation, rather than a full-scale attack.

“Cangwu Mountain’s active participation in this matter, could it be related to Qi Xia Yuan Jun?”

Luo Chen pondered the crux of the matter, combined with the Mingyuan battle, and vaguely had some guesses.

When Qi Xia Yuan Jun left, she was definitely not unscathed.

Three Great Powers, heavenly tribulation and earthly disaster, along with billions of ghost creatures, even if she were made of iron, she’d surely suffer some knocks.

Especially in many ghost creature legends, it was said that the woman left with a cloud of tribulation above her.

“So, her letting Cangwu Mountain lead this war is likely to intimidate powerful humans, preventing petty ones from disturbing her in overcoming the heavenly tribulation?”

Regarding this guess, Luo Chen was somewhat unsure.

But the Tianyuan Daoist Sect descending on the Eastern Wasteland, although unexpected, was also reasonable!

They already had a great coveting of the entire Mountain Sea Realm.

Dispatching troops to the North Sea, setting up in the West Desert, sending spies to the South Border, all distinctly displaying a posture of swallowing a realm.

Perhaps the Eastern Desolate Cultivators, being far away, did not feel it deeply.

But Luo Chen, who had once stayed in Zhongzhou, remembered the inherent confidence and arrogance of Tianyuan Daoist Sect cultivators clearly.

This time, the Eastern Wasteland indeed gave them a reason to make trouble.

The Daoist Sect envoy, one Late Stage Nascent Soul Star Gate Elder, one Great Elder from the Eastern Wasteland Tianyuan Business Alliance, one clan chief, along with dozens of lower order disciples, all perished inside the Mingyuan Sacred Land.

Such a significant matter, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect would definitely intervene.

Sending numerous powerful figures to invade the Eastern Wasteland is hardly unexpected.

And the East Sun Domain, adjacent to the coast, became their first bridgehead fort.

The East Sun Sect and Jianchuan Shen Family really suffered bad luck.

The last demon attack didn’t harm their vitality at all, but now they’ve been driven out of their home.

“Perhaps it’s not just a calamity without cause?”

Luo Chen thought of what Shen Qiuhua had said earlier.

The Daoist Sect Great Power personally coming to the East Sun Sect, forcing the Great Elder of the East Sun Sect to submit was no ordinary sign.

Everybody knows the East Sun Sect is a vassal of the Dark Abyss Sect, the number one ’bootlicker’.

Now that Mingyuan is extinguished, and the East Sun Sect submitted to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, doesn’t it mean that the sky above the Eastern Wasteland has completely changed?

“Next, I’m afraid it will be another troubled autumn.”

Just then, dark clouds covered the bright moon.

Luo Chen felt something in his heart.

“Is Qi Xia Yuan Jun really that weak now?”

Muttering, Luo Chen’s figure transformed, a spark dissipating into the night sky.

…

“Brother, we both see the weakness of the Eastern Wasteland now.”

“Those Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects ahead, having gone through the last war, are already greatly diminished in vitality. Relying on them can’t possibly stop the demon beast tidal wave.”

“In such a situation, if Tianyuan Daoist Sect wants to stand firm, they must take on this wave of impact.”

“Are they willing to lose their own sect disciples?”

“I don’t think so. Almost certainly, they will emulate the Dark Abyss Sect, driving other cultivators as the vanguard. We are bound to become cannon fodder.”

“That’s why I’ve been vigorously recruiting guest elders lately to strengthen the Shen Family’s power, so that we don’t have to personally go into battle like last time.”

In a quiet secret room, Shen Qiuhua spoke passionately.

Her face flushed, emotions high, clearly showing a heart full of concern for the clan.

Wearing a simple white robe, Shen Qiubai appeared calm. He said flatly, “I understand your thoughts, but are the people you’ve brought in reliable?”

Shen Qiuhua paused, instinctively saying, “They should be reliable!”

Shen Qiubai shook his head, “Today’s Gui Xuan friend, I cannot see clearly.”

Shen Qiuhua asked confusedly, “What’s unclear about him? His behavior and even his speech is indeed a rogue cultivator manner!”

Shen Qiubai got up calmly and walked out under his brother’s puzzled gaze.

“What I find unclear is the strength.”

“Just as Tianyuan Daoist Sect wants us to be cannon fodder, because our strength cannot compare to the Daoist Sect, our Shen Family recruits outsiders as guest elders to be cannon fodder, also need to have absolute suppressing power.”
