Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 678: Chapter 280: An Arrow Destroys The Eagle, The Battle Of Danxia (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Luo Chen’s gaze drifted, watching as the funeral ceremony came to its end.

That heavy coffin, with teamed strength of three Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators from the Li Family and their son-in-law Yuan Dongsheng, was carried out of the Li Family great hall.

Heading towards the Li Family’s graveyard.

Li Yingzhang, with a sheathed long sword hanging from his waist and a tablet of the deceased in his hand, walked in the front.

Despite the heavy rain drenching him, his face, other than sorrow, expressed an unyielding determination.

Gazing at the coffin, Luo Chen knew the remains of Li Jinhuang were inside.

What a pity; his journey may not be so peaceful.

At the next moment!

Three glints surged from the sky.

Seeing the three figures, Li Yingzhang’s steps halted.

In the rift between the three glints and his Li Family’s funeral procession, a man in red stood holding an umbrella.

Would he make a move?

As he grappled with unease, the man in red raised his head.

“To our esteemed friends, today marks the day of Li Jinhuang’s interment.”

“If you come to pay respects, please join us for a cup of Water Wine.”

“But if you are here to cause trouble, then please go back from where you came!”

The three glints halted.

Their leader, with a chilly gaze, looked down at the man standing by the stone side.

“Luo Tian Creed, Luo Chen?”

“Indeed, that’s me!” Luo Chen cracked a small smile, not a hint of nervousness on his face, as he returned his gaze, “Hu Family, Hu Chang Xi?”

Hu Chang Xi stifled his impatience, “Since you already know who I am, you should also understand the depth of the hatred between the Li Family and my Hu Family. I’d advise you to not get in our way!”

Luo Chen chuckled.

“If there’s so much resentment, why not resolve it when Li Jinhuang was still alive?”

Hu Chang Xi’s face tensed.

He couldn’t very well say that when the Li Family was still alive, his Hu Family was simply not a match for them!

Taking a deep breath, his gaze shifted away from Luo Chen to the verdant mountains on both sides.

Countless cultivators, some near and some far.

In them, were numerous people of his Foundation Establishment Generation!

Excellent, this was the situation he wanted to see.

He returned his gaze to Luo Chen.

“Let’s refrain from discussing the past. But today, I have resolved to destroy the Li Family!”

A scornful grin appeared on Luo Chen’s face, “So it seems that you guys are not here for revenge, but rather for the Li Family’s assets! Busting up a household, that’s a bit unjust, no?”

“Just?”

“Hahaha…”

Hu Chang Xi burst into laughter.

The laughter echoed across the two banks, resonating between the large rivers and the green mountains.

Suddenly, the laughter came to an abrupt end.

“You talk about justness! Aren’t you simply vying to swallow up the Li Family’s assets, thus the pretense?”

Luo Chen, under his oil-paper umbrella, let the raindrops patter down.

He lightly smiled.

“At least, with me here, there will be no more bloodshed in the Li Family today.”

His words might be light, but his resolve was unwavering!

Hu Chang Xi’s expression hardened, his Spirit Consciousness didn’t detect any other Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Luo Tian Creed.

Could it be, the latter came to know something beforehand?

Before he could comment, his youngest brother, Hu Chang Le, who had been silent all this while, sneered.

“Talking all grand about morality and justice, but what lies in your heart is surely some vile scheme! Someone as hypocritical as you deserves to talk about justness?”

“Big brother, little brother, why are we even bothering with him? He is merely at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he can’t stop the three of us!” Hu Chang Nu, impatient and eager, pointed at the funeral procession behind Luo Chen, “A single offense from us, and today will be the death anniversary of the whole Li Family!”

Hu Chang Xi shook his head.

One thing Luo Chen said was very accurate.

Their mouths claimed vengeance, but their true motive was to seize the well-established base of the Li Family.

Tanqiu Mountain had long been in decline, unable to support the future cultivation of the three brothers.

Only by seizing the Li Family’s base, could they entertain other pursuits.

But now preying on the Li Family was not just them.

Taking the initiative now, although making themselves the target, could also seize the advantage.

With revenge as the justification, they could reasonably claim this inheritance.

But once seized, they must also face threats from other people.

The banks of the great river now did not merely house a few true Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them.

Therefore, the battle strength of the three brothers mustn’t sustain significant loss. A certain level of vitality must be preserved to face the ensuing developments.

Although Luo Chen was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment,

He had a remarkable feat of defeating three cultivators of the same level with a single move.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to start a fight with Luo Chen.

Suppressing his inner eagerness, he spoke loudly, “Luo Chen, Chief of Luo Tian Creed!”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, “Any further instructions?”

Hu Chang Xi slowly said, “You’re taking a stand for the Li Family, because the Luo Tian Creed and the Li Family share marital ties. But do you think sacrificing the Luo Tian Creed for the Li Family is worth it?”

Sacrificing the Luo Tian Creed?

The expression on Luo Chen’s face gradually grew stern.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing much, it’s just that I heard recently some people in the same path are envious of the development of Luo Tian Creed, and now that you’re here dawdling, you should be careful not to have your base overturned.”

Luo Chen frowned, “There are many who are envious, I am envious of the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect myself.”

“No no no!” Hu Chang Xi tried to convince, “This time is different from other times. The Ice Castle is about to disband, and you are not at home. What if someone went to Danxia Peak, struck and left? You’ll be filled with remorse by then!”

“Stop beating around the bush, it seems like you know something, just spill it!” Luo Chen replied coldly, “If you describe it more seriously, maybe I’ll turn back now.”

Hu Chang Xi’s heart leaped with joy.

“From what I know, led by Divine Craft Clan Lu Rong, Tianying Peak’s Ying Yang and Yuzhen Temple Miao Yu Fairy, they plan to plunder Luo Tian Creed today. Chief Luo, you…”

“So it’s them!”

Hu Chang Xi was interrupted midway through his sentence.

Luo Chen chuckled, “They are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs. They think they’re worthy of robbing my Luo Tian Creed?”

His laughter was prickly to the ear as he interrupted the conversation.

Hu Chang Xi almost choked, his eyes filled with gloom, almost shedding tears.

“Are you really intending to make us your enemies?”

“No!” Luo Chen’s face turned serious, “You are the ones who want to be my enemies!”

The rain was pouring, and the river was surging.

The air in this world was almost congealed.

…

At Danxia Peak.

Just several hours after Luo Chen left.

Wang Yuan was standing on the top of the mountain, hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains.

Rain fell from above him, but before it could reach him, it melted in the vaporous qi and blood around him.

Suddenly, three figures using magic tools or riding giant eagles, were speeding towards him.

A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator would normally travel at a slower speed to save spirit power if it wasn’t urgent.

Their overtly reckless pursuit, heading straight toward Luo Tian Creed, emitted a very clear and malicious intent.

“Luo Chen had anticipated this!”

Wang Yuan muttered to himself, beckoning with his hand.

A giant bow, the Sunset Bow, appeared in his hand.

The Sunset Bow, an Ascendant Grade strange magic tool.

Although only of Ascendant Grade, its effect was singular; it could condense a cultivator’s spirit power, breaking out a dazzling hit from a long distance.

This was a method Wang Yuan thought of to increase his long-distance attack when he was cultivating at Danxia Peak before establishing his foundation.

For this, he searched all the nearby black markets through Xu Xiao Liu.

In the end, he spent four thousand Spirit Stones to buy this strange magic tool.

Today, it was making its first appearance.

And it was bound to succeed!

His mind concentrated, his qi connected to the Nine Heavens, his vigor became strength, into which his spirit power was infused through the “Origin of Qi”.

In his mind, Wang Yuan recalled the words of Xing Zonghan.

“The Ying Family dominates Tianying Peak and breeds flying eagles to sell to cultivators as a means of transportation.”

“The Plunder Light Eagles of the Ying Family, although not strong, are incredibly fast.”

“Especially the alien Plunder Sky Eagle of Ying Yang, the family head, which is only of the late First Order, but its speed is comparable to that of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”

“To kill him, the eagle must be killed first!”

Wang Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly pulled back the bowstring.

Between his fingers, an arrow made of vigor slowly took shape.

“I hate enemies who are faster than me!”

“So, you beast, please die first!”

His thoughts were racing.

The next moment.

Exhale and shout!

“Speed!”

Before his voice fell, the crimson arrow broke through the air and shot towards the mountains.

Whoosh!

The crimson arrow, incredibly fast, seemed to tear through the space, bursting with sound.

As it progressed, a bloody line erupted in the sky, leaving a long tail.

The faces of the three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, who were racing, changed simultaneously.

This arrow came too fast, and it had been accumulating power for a long time. It was something they couldn’t defend against abruptly.

They did not have time to communicate and tried to scatter separately.

But they had spirit consciousness and could avoid it, but the eagle was only of the First Order, let alone react.

Splat!

A bloodline passed by, and the eagle fell right to the ground.

“No!”

With a shriek, Ying Yang’s eyes turned red as he abruptly looked up at the peak of Danxia.

“You deserver to die!”

Wang Yuan gave him a glance without opening his mouth.

And another voice rose at the same time.

“No, you’re the one who deserves to die!”

The next moment, Xing Zonghan burst out from the mountain, erupting layers of spirit light, rushing towards Ying Yang.
