459: Join forces

The Three Great Demon Clans have been rooted in Liuxing Continent for hundreds of years, and they also have profound foundations. All three Demon Kings are powerhouses at the Half-Saint Realm.

The strength of each of their Yao Race is comparable to that of the Serpent-human Clan, and now with the three clans united, their strength is far above that of the Serpent-human Clan.

Then came the more exciting part.

The Three Great Demon Clans seized the Opportunity of the Martial Arts Convention, inviting young Martial Artists from the Nine Provinces to assist them in battle, promising precious Spirit Medicine as a reward afterward.

Luo Chen, the head of the nine prodigies of the central continent, led his followers to join the Three Great Demon Clans' camp. It is unknown what conditions the Three Great Demon Clans offered him.

Meanwhile, Peng Yu, one of the nine prodigies of the central continent, publicly announced her support for the Serpent-human Clan.

This great war is not only a struggle between two forces on Liuxing Continent, but also a ring match between the Nine Elites!

Currently, Miss Peng Yu is recruiting followers in an inn in this marketplace, and she will head to the Serpent-human Clan to assist in battle tomorrow.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, is recruiting helpers in another gathering place for participants.

It took a full cup of tea's time for Li Three to completely explain the situation.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "The Book Sword Vengeance Sect is indeed not simple; they can collect so much detailed information. If I were to inquire everywhere outside, I'm afraid I wouldn't even get a tenth of the content. This favor is worth the price!"

Li Three said with a smile, "Our Book Sword Vengeance Sect has always had fair prices, emphasizing getting what you pay for. I have made the intelligence clear; if it's about action, that's Your Majesty the Pill King's business."

"You are also an Alchemist, and you must be interested in the candle dragon flame, but I hope you can walk out of the Yellow Springs Sand Sea alive. Because you still owe our Saint a favor!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Tell me your Saint's information!"

Li Three nodded slightly and handed Lu Xingchen a portrait.

The appearance in the portrait was ordinary, with nothing outstanding, and the signature was "Lu Yu."

Immediately, Lu Xingchen checked the spirit tablet; Lu Yu's points ranking was over two hundred.

But that's not important; with the full power of the Book Sword Vengeance Sect collecting points for him, entering the top one hundred is definitely not a problem.

Immediately, Li Three placed two white feathers on the table and stood up to bow to Lu Xingchen.

"My mission is complete, Your Majesty the Pill King, we will meet again!"

With that, he turned and walked out of the teahouse.

After seeing his back disappear, Lu Xingchen immediately stood up and said softly, "Let's go, let's find Miss Peng Yu!"

Hearing this, Yun Li frowned.

"Xingchen, do you also want that candle dragon flame? But the difficulty of obtaining it is simply too great! Not to mention that the hope of defeating the Three Great Demon Clans Alliance is slim, even if you succeed, the Serpent-human Clan Queen may not necessarily give you the candle dragon flame!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "The Opportunity to become a Saint is right before us, how can we hesitate? Our life-saving talismans haven't been used yet. Even if we lose, at most we lose a talisman; if we succeed, there's a chance to become a Saint! I believe Miss Peng Yu thinks the same way."

"Besides, we don't necessarily have to directly confront Luo Chen."

Hearing this, Yun Li was a bit confused.

"Huh? Not directly confront? What do you mean by that?"

"It's just a rough idea; I'll tell you when the time is right. Miss Yun Li, I know you won't leave me, so this time, I'm counting on you to help!"

Yun Li shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "Since I can't persuade you to change your mind, then I can only face the future with you!"

Lu Xingchen picked Yun Li up by the waist and spun around several times on the ground.

"Yay! Miss Yun Li is too good!"

Yun Li was not yet accustomed to being too intimate with Lu Xingchen, so she quickly broke free from his embrace. Immediately, the two walked together towards the largest inn in the marketplace.

An hour later, the two arrived in front of the inn.

The entire inn had been booked by Miss Peng Yu, exclusively for recruiting followers, and a banner hung at the entrance: "Saintess of Medicine King Valley Recruits Martial Arts Convention Followers!"

The content of the banner was simple, but the five words "Saintess of Medicine King Valley" were enough to attract a large number of young Martial Artists.

Lu Xingchen held Yun Li's hand and stepped through the inn's main entrance. Immediately, two young Disciples from Medicine King Valley came forward to greet them.

Both bowed to Lu Xingchen in unison.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu! Senior Brother Lu has specifically brought his Dao Companion, could it be that he wishes to join our team?"

"Senior Brother Lu" is a respectful title for a young powerhouse of high prestige. As for why they didn't address him as "Your Majesty the Pill King," it was because Lu Xingchen had stolen the thunder from Medicine King Valley, making these Disciples very uncomfortable.

As long as there were members of Medicine King Valley nearby, everyone would be apprehensive and wouldn't mention the words "Pill King."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, I am also interested in that candle dragon flame, so I came to join forces with Miss Peng Yu. Please go and inform Miss Peng Yu!"

"As you command!"

One Disciple immediately walked deeper into the inn, while the other respectfully said, "Senior Brother Lu, please follow me and wait for a moment in the reception hall!"

The two sat in the reception hall for three minutes when Miss Peng Yu, accompanied by Zi Chen, rushed over in a hurry.

Zi Chen had already come to Lingyun Sect to take up a position after the Alchemist Convention ended. It's just that he wasn't considered one of their own, so he wasn't called to the meeting back then.

He had also set off earlier than Lu Xingchen and his group to arrive at the Human Emperor Hall.

Unexpectedly, this boy was now by Miss Peng Yu's side again, indicating that he still hadn't given up on pursuing Miss Peng Yu.

Upon seeing Lu Xingchen, a look of intense joy appeared on Miss Peng Yu's face.

"Big Strong One Lu, it's really great to meet you here! I've been worried about confronting the Three Great Demon Clans and Luo Chen. Now with your help, we will definitely have a much easier time!"

Lu Xingchen stood up, bowed to Miss Peng Yu, and said with a light laugh, "Miss Peng Yu is right, I'm here to join you all to obtain the candle dragon flame."

Miss Peng Yu bowed in return and said softly, "That's normal. Legend has it that the candle dragon flame contains the Opportunity to become a Saint, so everyone must want to try. I don't know what got into that fellow Luo Chen, to actually help the Three Great Demon Clans. Even if the Serpent-human Clan Queen jumped off a cliff with the candle dragon flame, she definitely wouldn't give it to him!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Miss Peng Yu, has the Serpent-human Clan Queen agreed to give you the candle dragon flame? Even after the war ends."

Miss Peng Yu looked troubled and shook her head.

"She only released news that she would give generous rewards to the participants who assisted in the battle, but the specific details still need to be discussed tomorrow after going to the Yellow Springs Sand Sea."

"However, I guess it won't be easy to make her hand over the candle dragon flame. But there's nothing difficult in the world for a determined person. For the chance to become a Saint, I can throw money at her!"

"Big Strong One Lu, let's first join forces to help the Serpent-human Clan repel the invaders, and then compete for the candle dragon flame based on our individual abilities. What do you think? After all, assisting in battle will definitely be one of Queen Chiluan's conditions."
