110: Kun Yi is in harmony, the demon-killing alliance
Chen Xuan and Liu Baichi’s eyes met.
Different complexities flickered in their gazes.
“Sign look quadrant!”
After Chen Xuan’s voice echoed in his mind, Liu Baichi’s face instantly lit up with excitement and surprise.
“Palace Jade Liquid Wine.”
“A hundred and eighty a cup.”
“Two and a half years?”
“One Kun year.”
Liu Baichi’s eyes couldn't help but sparkle with brilliant light.
Not only was the other party a fellow countryman,
but also his brother’s loyal little fan.
A kindred spirit.
“Elder Liu, you only need to place a Restriction on Fellow Daoist Huang’s Divine Soul; Fellow Daoist Liu is not necessary.”
Chen Xuan did not explain why.
Firstly, he didn't know how to explain it.
Secondly, there was no need to explain.
This fellow countryman suddenly started exchanging secret codes, presumably because Chen Xuan had revealed some clues earlier, leading the other party to guess his Transmigration identity.
As for exposing it now, it was clearly because he didn't want his life and death controlled by others.
A Transmigrator naturally possesses arrogance.
Chen Xuan, understanding this, conveniently did a favor for this unexpected fellow countryman.
Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi expressed no issues with this.
Whatever Chen Xuan said, he would simply execute.
His purpose in coming this time was purely to do a favor for the Saintess’s Revered Master.
The process went smoothly.
Huang Tianqi only hesitated for a moment before releasing his Divine Soul, allowing Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi to place a Restriction that controlled his life and death.
Since resistance was futile,
he might as well accept it calmly.
And enjoy it.
Huang Tianqi was like this, and so were Sect Leader Zhao Hong and others behind him, as well as the entire Golden Sun Sect.
The Golden Sun Sect’s integration into the Chen Family was a foregone conclusion.
This was the way of Cultivators.
The strong prey on the weak.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.
Powerful forces annex weaker ones to quickly grow stronger.
However, the Chen Family’s actions were ethically questionable, and such behavior might lead to verbal and written condemnation from other forces later on.
Especially the Anti-Demon Alliance formed by the Dao One Sect and the Upright Qi Sect.
They would surely publicize this extensively,
gathering more strength and manpower to eradicate both the Blood Demon Sect, their long-standing enemy, and the Chen Family.
At this moment, near the Void Heaven Palace,
many high-ranking officials from various forces had gathered in the temporary main hall constructed jointly by the Dao One Sect and the Upright Qi Sect.
Among them were the three Returning Void Realm forces who had kicked the Chen Family, Golden Sun Sect, Yunxi Sect, and Maoshan Yang Family out of the game and divided the Void Sky Bazaar.
Originally, there were four forces.
However, the Kunwu Sect acted alone.
That Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan coveted the Opportunity in the hands of Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan.
He sought him out and was killed,
leading to the destruction of the entire Kunwu Sect.
This incident also served as a warning to the other three forces:
the Liang Family, Yellow Maple Valley, and Taiyi Palace.
The Chen Family was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
A Soul Transformation force?
With only one Soul Transformation Old Ancestor within the Family?
If one truly believed that, they would fall into a trap.
That Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan was a massive trap.
He killed a Returning Void Realm Late Stage Cultivator with a single sword strike.
Even a Returning Void Realm Peak would find it difficult to achieve that, right?
That sword strike’s power must have reached the might of Body Integration to achieve such a degree.
When they first heard the news that Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan had slain Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of the Kunwu Sect with his sword, the high-ranking officials of the three sects were all terrified and apprehensive.
However, they later learned that Chen Family Old Ancestor had fallen into a deep slumber immediately after unleashing that terrifying sword strike.
It should have been a temporary burst of power,
an unreplicable forbidden technique.
This also eased their minds somewhat.
But the Chen Family, which had suddenly risen, had clearly become a major threat.
Like a sharp sword, it hung over the heads of the three forces, threatening to fall at any moment.
The high-ranking officials of the three forces gathered to discuss, but the final result was that no one was willing to be the first to test the Chen Family.
Who knew if there were any terrifying trump cards hidden within that unfathomable Family?
Or if Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan would sense danger and awaken,
unleashing the sword strike that killed Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan once more?
Such things were all possible,
even if the probability was small.
None of the three forces were willing to take that risk and provoke the Chen Family again,
fearing that they might accidentally follow in the footsteps of the Kunwu Sect,
whose entire sect was annihilated by the Blood Demon Sect’s Grand Elder.
The Blood Demon Sect’s sudden presence in the Chen Family also completely dispelled the three forces’ thoughts of attacking the Chen Family.
However, the subsequent arrival of two Returning Void Realm Cultivators from the Dao One Sect and the Upright Qi Sect reignited their ambitions.
By occupying the Void Sky Bazaar, they had already offended the Chen Family.
Unless the three forces were willing to proactively humble themselves, admit their mistake, and hand over the Void Sky Bazaar,
the enmity would never be resolved.
But that was simply impossible.
As Returning Void Realm forces, they had their own arrogance.
The Chen Family was mysterious and a great threat, but it did not possess the capital to make them proactively humble themselves and admit their mistake.
In desperation,
the three forces could only respond to the call of the Dao One Sect and the Upright Qi Sect.
The purpose of the one sect and one gate in the western part of the Northern Barrens was to annihilate the Blood Demon Sect, their long-standing enemy.
As for them, they would eliminate the great threat of the Chen Family, whom they had already offended, in its infancy.
Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan’s cultivation progress was extremely rapid.
He was suspected to be an Immortal Reincarnate.
In just three years, he had cultivated and achieved a Breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage to the Soul Transformation Realm.
If he were given more time to develop steadily,
not to mention the three Returning Void Realm forces—the Liang Family, Yellow Maple Valley, and Taiyi Palace—
even the two major powers of the Northern Barrens, the Lietian Sect and the Cloud Sea Pavilion, would have to live at the Chen Family’s mercy.
“On behalf of the Anti-Demon Alliance, I, Jun, welcome all of you!”
Jun Tianlin looked at the representatives sent by the various forces, all of whom were Returning Void Realm figures, and couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile.
The Dao One Sect, the Upright Qi Sect, plus the Yellow Maple Valley, Taiyi Palace, and Liang Family from the eastern part of the Northern Barrens.
Five great Returning Void Realm forces joining hands.
A total of more than ten Returning Void Realm Cultivators.
He refused to believe that the Blood Demon Sect would not be annihilated this time.
“Fellow Daoist Jun is too kind. Upholding the Righteous Path and eliminating demons is our duty as Righteous Path Cultivators. If there is a call to eliminate demons, my Liang Family will certainly be the first to charge.”
The speaker was Liang Shang of the Liang Family.
He spoke eloquently, about eliminating demons and upholding the Dao.
However, he was simply forced into a corner and had no choice but to seek an alliance to eliminate the Chen Family,
and to calm the hearts of the Chen Family’s members.
“Fellow Daoist Liang is absolutely right. The Blood Demon Sect, instead of staying properly in the west, dared to come to our east and cause trouble. Their wanton slaughter of sects and annihilation of families is truly vicious and brutal; they are undoubtedly a Demonic Path force.”
“It’s just a pity for the Fellow Daoists of the Kunwu Sect, who suffered at their cruel hands.”
Han Chen of Yellow Maple Valley echoed.
The person from Taiyi Palace, named Yin Hong, seeing their words, also spoke to express his stance.
“And the Chen Family, which colluded with the Blood Demon Sect.”
“They are all Demonic Path members; every Righteous Path Cultivator must punish them.”
