126: Chapter 126 The Zhao Family Visits

When the three of them entered the Greeting Hall, the entire Greeting Hall appeared very deserted.

It was not that other Foundation Establishment Cultivator had not yet arrived, but rather that basically all of them were meditating quietly in their rooms.

Chen Changqing and the other two people's living quarters were all in the same location, and were extremely close to the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Taihe Prefecture. This was also specially arranged by the Yuxu Sect, the purpose of which was to reduce friction. If the three of them were placed near the living quarters of other prefectures, both sides might spark conflicts. After all, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming here could all be said to be competitors.

Every single person harbored the ambition to achieve the Purple Mansion.

Although the probability was not high.

Just after the three of them moved in, another group of Foundation Establishment Cultivator arrived. Walking at the very front was a Middle-aged Scholar lookalike, and to his right was a woman who was extremely bewitching in both figure and appearance, as well as a rather young Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Anyone who did not know better would have thought he was merely a junior.

As for the other two people, their ages were relatively older, and it seemed that this time's Zifu Secret Realm was their last participation.

As for the five of them, judging purely by combat power, they seemed even stronger than the three people of Chen Changqing.

Moreover, unlike the three people of Chen Changqing who faced the respectful demeanor of the Yuxu Sect's executive Disciple, although they were also very humble, their eyes carried arrogance.

"Second Senior Brother, with the five of us joining forces, this time we will definitely strive for at least two quotas for the Sect." Among the five people, the Middle-aged Scholar spoke.

That very young Foundation Establishment Cultivator furrowed his brows slightly, then relaxed them, and shook his head saying, "The Foundation Establishment Cultivator participating this time are not so easy to deal with. Although during the previous major battle, a batch of powerful people had already obtained the ziyu pill through battle achievements and were currently in seclusion making a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Coupled with the fact that previously several quite potential Senior Brother of our Sect died again, wanting to contend for two quotas is very difficult."

Hearing this, the other few people felt quite emotional in their hearts. The most powerful Senior Brother in the Sect had already successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, while the other few either had cultivation higher than theirs or strength stronger than theirs. Except for this Second Senior Brother and the Middle-aged Scholar, the other three people actually only had the cultivation of the seventh or eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.

And this combat power was actually already very strong. Almost apart from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator originating from the same Purple Palace Cultivator forces, there was almost no one who could match them. Therefore, what they said just now actually only corresponded to other Cultivator who also belonged to Purple Palace Cultivator forces, rather than those Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming from Foundation Establishment forces.

Under the command of the Yuxu Sect, it altogether ruled five prefectures, with each prefecture having roughly two or three Purple Palace Cultivator forces, plus several Purple Palace Cultivator forces within the territory of Cang Prefecture directly subordinate to the Yuxu Sect. All added together, there were close to twenty Purple Palace Cultivator forces.

And for these Purple Palace Cultivator forces, every time the Secret Realm opened, they would occupy a full eight or nine out of the ten quotas, and only the remaining one or two could fall to other Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

And in fact, among these eight or nine quotas, the ones occupying the most were still within the direct jurisdiction of Cang Prefecture. The Purple Palace Cultivator forces of those prefectural cities did not have the opportunity to obtain them every single time.

These five people came from the Liuyun School within the direct jurisdiction of Cang Prefecture. The Liuyun School was considered the strongest tier among all Purple Palace Cultivator forces, because there were a full seven Purple Palace Cultivator guarding within their School.

Although three had died previously, another person had promoted, so they still possessed extremely strong strength. It was just that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator with potential and strength within their School died under the sneak attack of a Tier 3 Yao Beast.

If not for that sneak attack, the ones dispatched by their School would not have been these few people. Except for the Second Senior Brother and the Middle-aged Scholar, the remaining three people certainly could not have come.

Of course, if they could not obtain the ziyu pill this time, they did not need to worry, because their School itself possessed the ability to refine Purple Mansion spiritual items. This was a right granted by the Yuxu Sect, and not every Purple Palace Cultivator force had it.

It was just that even if their School could refine Purple Mansion spiritual items, the difficulty was also very great, and often only one or two pills would appear every few decades. This also led to them needing to come and contend for the ziyu pill quotas of the Zifu Secret Realm.

Following these few people, several batches of Cultivator arrived. Although the overwhelming majority of Cultivator considered themselves to have no hope of contending for the ziyu pill quotas, since there was this opportunity, how could they possibly not come and give it a try? What if?

In past sessions, there had indeed been some Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Foundation Establishment forces who contended for quotas, and there were also some who were able to achieve the Purple Mansion based on this.

Over these past thousands of years, apart from the Yuxu Sect remaining unchanged, the rest of the Purple Palace Cultivator forces had changed several batches no matter what. Most of the newly promoted Purple Palace Cultivator forces obtained their quotas from the Zifu Secret Realm, and then broke through to the Purple Mansion with the ziyu pill given by the Yuxu Sect, finally achieving a Purple Palace Cultivator force.

...

Meanwhile.

Far away on Qingyang Mountain, the Chen Family welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

Walking at the very front was a masked Cultivator, and the other two were both Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhao Family.

One was Zhao Huaiyi, and the other was Zhao Tianqing.

The three of them quietly arrived at the back mountain of the Chen Family, directly alarming Chen Yuanwen and Chen Changyue.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what is the meaning of this?" Chen Yuanwen and Chen Changyue were both somewhat startled and angry.

How could the Family back mountain be casually trespassed upon? This kind of behavior was equivalent to starting a war.

The two people following behind the black-robed Cultivator neither spoke, but instead calmly looked at the two people, Chen Yuanwen.

"The two little friends need not be anxious; this old man has come to invite your Chen Family for a discussion." That black-robed Cultivator finally spoke.

Chen Yuanwen and the other were terrified. Little friends? Could the person before them be?

No.

"You are Zhao Tiangang?!" Chen Yuanwen only then remembered something, and storms surged in his heart.

"Hehe! I didn't expect that this old man hasn't come out of the mountains for decades, and there are still people who know this old man's name." Zhao Tiangang removed the black robe, and then a body full of Purple Mansion aura leaked outward, instantly suppressing Chen Yuanwen and the other to the ground.

"You... You are already a Purple Palace Cultivator! How dare you privately make a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion? Aren't you afraid of drawing the retaliation of the Yuxu Sect?" Chen Yuanwen said in shock.

"Hehe! The Yuxu Sect?! The Yuxu Sect and other Golden Core forces have oppressed the Yan Country's cultivation world for a long time; it is time to resolve them." Zhao Tiangang spoke as if he were talking about an inconsequential matter.

Hearing this, both Chen Yuanwen and the other felt in their hearts whether the person before them had gone mad. As a mere Purple Palace Cultivator, he actually dared to talk about wiping out Golden Core forces like the Yuxu Sect.

Zhao Tiangang saw the distrust in the eyes of the two, and he did not explain either, instead saying, "Your Chen Family currently only has two paths: either join the Anti-Immortal Alliance and work for my Anti-Immortal Alliance, or perish together with the Chen Family."

"What? The Anti-Immortal Alliance?!" The two were somewhat puzzled. Since when did Yan Country have an Anti-Immortal Alliance?

Moreover, judging by this appearance, this Zhao Tiangang had long joined the Anti-Immortal Alliance.

The two remained silent for a long time. They knew that if they made the wrong decision today, it would plunge the Family into a place of eternal damnation.

And Zhao Tiangang also waited somewhat impatiently, so he threatened, "I give you ten breaths of time to pledge allegiance to my Anti-Immortal Alliance from now on. Otherwise, your Chen Family will surely be destroyed today."

"Ten, nine, ... three, two, ..."
