Chapter 1519: Chapter 20: The Jianchuan Incident (So tired, there will be one more update tomorrow) Chapter 1519: Chapter 20: The Jianchuan Incident (So tired, there will be one more update tomorrow) Chuanyuan City

The great city named after Chuanyuan is the center of Chuanyuan Province and also the birthplace of the Longzhou Liu Clan.

Peaceful and prosperous would be the best description of this grand city in Longzhou, and the Heavenly King Hall, built by the Liu Clan at great expense, is one of the wonders of Longzhou, regarded as the holy land in the hearts of the entire Liu Clan tribe.

Even the most powerful clan elders, who hold the highest authority within the Liu Clan, strain every nerve to ensure that their portraits will be hung in the Heavenly King Hall after a hundred years.

Strong and united, that is the impression the Chuanyuan Liu Clan gives to the entire Longzhou, and Liu Tang, the original clan leader of the Liu Clan, was such an industrious person, who aspired to see his portrait enter the main hall of the Heavenly King Hall before closing his eyes for the last time.

Every day, besides the three hours spent in meditation and breath regulation, he was constantly working, dealing with various affairs within the clan.

Although the Liu Clan was named as a clan, the territory it governed had long surpassed the scale of a tribal group, with nearly two million clan members spread across the various provinces and regions of Longzhou. Just in terms of population, the Liu Family was undoubtedly the largest clan in Longzhou.

But for Liu Tang, this was still far from enough, so the most important strategy since he took office was to encourage the disciples of the Liu Clan to reproduce more and continuously provide conditions for the Liu Clan disciples to succeed.

The ones with the best aptitude were sent to sects for secret cultivation, and resources were provided according to the level of inner-door disciples. If anyone was exceptionally outstanding, they were directly granted resources at the level of true inheritance.

For those with slightly less aptitude, the clan also intensified their training, with lectures by grandmasters every three days. As for precise guidance from elite Martial Ancestors, that was one of Liu Tang’s proudest achievements.

Even the least ambitious clan members were arranged a business so they could be self-sufficient, or at the very least, reproduce more in the hopes that one of their offspring might fly high once again.

According to Liu Tang’s plan, within at most fifty more years, the population of the Liu Family should breach five million. Fifty years after that, the Liu Clan should be able to produce ten thousand individuals capable of entering the Fierce Realm.

Recreating the glory of Liu Tianwang was just within reach!

To fulfill this substantial population growth plan, it was necessary to maintain the stability of the foundational industries. Jianchuan, Longchang, and Chengan Cities on the Lin Chuan Plain were the areas Liu Tang had focused on developing over the years, and he had already achieved remarkable results.

“It seems the dream of this clan leader’s portrait entering the Heavenly King Hall is nearly at hand!” Liu Tang had dreamt more than once of his portrait hanging in the main hall of the Heavenly King Hall, just slightly below that of Liu Tianwang.

If the existence of the ancestor was what lifted the Liu Clan above the common noble family, his own contribution would be to use the power of determination to take the Liu Clan to a far broader horizon.

What could be more pride-inducing than this? A light smile curled at the lips of Liu Tang, who was hard at work sorting through reports.

But the official who barged in completely ruined the clan leader’s good mood for the day.

With a face stricken with terror and hands trembling ceaselessly, the official stood in front of Liu Tang, shaking so much that he couldn’t even spit out a complete sentence.

With displeasure, the Liu Family’s head gave a signal to his staff, and someone recited a calming spell to help the official regain a measure of composure.

“This is bad!!”

Who could have expected that the official who had just been soothed would let out such a shrill scream? He gesticulated frantically as he explained the situation in Jianchuan City to Liu Tang.

“An ugly-looking man burst into Jianchuan City, killing anyone he encounters, killing anyone he encounters! The adults he slashed with his long knife, they all transformed into Blood Beasts!”

“Grand Master Yan, Daoist Priest Wu, along with the envoys from the City Lord’s Mansion, have all turned into monsters, killing anyone they encountered, killing anyone they encountered!”

“There’s even blood raining from the sky, scarlet blood, clan leader, look!”

The official spoke more and more excitedly, his neck veins bulging out massively, his left hand tugging at his right sleeve cuff, pulling it up to reveal his right arm wrapped in a bandage.

Clamping the sleeve near his shoulder between his teeth, the official ripped open the dark red gauze, exposing the Blood Fiend’s stench that nearly made Liu Tang retch, but upon seeing the arm clearly, he was somewhat surprised.

“Your arm…”

“Once touched by the blood rain, it will be eroded by the Blood Fiend. This arm of mine is useless now!”

The official spit out the sleeve bearing deep bite marks and dejectedly said, “That hideous man, who knows what strange technique he’s cultivated–seems like he can control the Evil Qi between heaven and earth. Common Spirit Arts haven’t even reached him before they’re dissolved by the foul air, but with just a casual gesture of his, he could break the protective Qi of our revered elders.”

Perhaps due to the direness of Jianchuan City, the reassured official rambled about the terrifying nature of the hideous man, yet didn’t mention the current state of the city at all.

This made Liu Tang furrow his brows and interrupt, “What’s the situation in Jianchuan City right now?”

“Jianchuan City… is finished!”

The official said with a wry smile, “At first, it was only necessary to deal with the red-haired man alone, but then, more and more bloodstained monsters, neither human nor beast, began to appear. By the time the old Grandmaster Liu Xian emerged from seclusion, those bloodstained monsters had already taken over half the city.”

“And after that, the old Grandmaster fought that ugly man into a frenzy, but no matter how many times the old Grandmaster beat the man down, he was able to resurrect in the body of some monster.”

“Just like that, Liu Xian, the old Grandmaster, was forced to drain his spirit, but still could not stop the thousands upon thousands of Blood Beasts.”

The official sobbed as he spoke.

Liu Tang, however, was steely-faced with shock. He had never expected that Jianchuan City, which should have been impregnable, would undergo such a catastrophic change.

Even less anticipated was that the hideous man, who came out of nowhere, had actually pushed Liu Xian to the brink of spiritual exhaustion.

He still remembered the words he had used to entice the elder from the Heavenly King Hall, wanting him to witness the foundation of the Liu Family’s resurgence, but he did not expect…

“No one who offends the Liu Family gets away unscathed!”

Liu Tang said, with a frosty voice, “No matter who this person is, no matter what lineage or mentor he comes from, if he has slaughtered Jianchuan City and doomed the old Grandmaster, this enmity is insurmountable. Relay my orders, immediately recall the Illusory Grandmaster, and organize ten, twenty elite Martial Ancestors from Chuanyuan, vow to avenge this grudge!”

…

Longjiang Battlefield, the killing intensified, the corpses strewn everywhere turned what was once a place of birdsongs and fragrant flowers into a haunted land.

The unrecognizable bodies of Bounty Hunters and the Tang Clan members with faces frozen in terror and rage painted a picture of Purgatory too harsh to behold.

But for Ye Qingcang, the battlefield before his eyes was the most beautiful scenery.

As long as he obliterated the remaining Tang Clan members, the Da Lin Commerce Alliance could not only rightfully take charge of Lingjiang but also harvest many precious relationships.

Maintaining this relationship could allow them to ride the upsurge of the great changes in Xiehe, or at the very least, carve out survival for the Da Lin Commerce Alliance.

As for the casualties of the Bounty Guild, how could such be of concern to Chairman Ye?

They were just fame and fortune-seeking mongrels–once one batch died, they’d be replaced by another, completely disposable.

What he needed to consider now was how to maximize the impact of exterminating the Tang Clan and spread the name of the Bounty Guild far and wide.
