Chapter 1074: Chapter 425: How Dare the Scoundrels Disturb My Flame Alliance! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

Tian Xingzi nodded his head, "Are you planning to sell this directly?"

"Yes!"

"At what price?"

"Barter!"

"As expected, tell me what you want, and let’s see if I can gather it all."

Luo Chen did not hesitate at all, as he had already prepared for this matter.

"I want the Core Formation experiences of a cultivator who utilizes the ’Bead Curtain Lock’ secret technique!"

"I want the specific intelligence from when you recently attacked the Flame Alliance!"

"Lastly, I want Zhenlong Black Market to release a message when auctioning that Thunder Jade, that in one month, a formidable enemy will head to Burning Incense Valley to seek revenge!"

Tian Xingzi frowned, "You’re asking for too much!"

Luo Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Not too much, the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade is worth this much, and if you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask your True Master."

Tian Xingzi fell silent.

After a long while, he reluctantly glanced at the Thunder Jade.

"Wait for my message then!"

"I look forward to the good news!"

Luo Chen flipped his wrist, and the pale silver Thunder Jade flower entered his storage bag.

...

Inside the Immortal City Inn.

Luo Chen had just seen off Tian Xingzi but then welcomed three distinguished guests.

Qiu Daochun, Che Xiang.

Two Ascendant Masters, at the Early Golden Core Realm, were both Great Elders of Immortal Cultivation Clans and vassals of Qingdan Valley!

Luo Chen had heard of these two.

Especially that Che Xiang, whose Core Formation was recent, seemed to have formed his core after participating in the battle of Qingdan Seed Cultivators. Tao Wen, who was a Budding Cultivator at the time, had personally attended his Golden Core Ceremony.

But the third person was somewhat beyond Luo Chen’s expectations.

Dan Yangzi!

If it had been Tao Wen, he wouldn’t have been surprised.

After all, Chunming Valley was in charge of overseeing the matter against the Flame Alliance.

However, the arrival of this generation’s Senior Brother, Dan Yangzi, was somewhat unexpected.

Facing his puzzlement, Dan Yangzi did not offer any explanation but directly inquired about his progress.

Luo Chen confidently replied, "Everything is going according to plan. I’ve already contacted Ice Castle and Luo Yun Sect and have gathered a group of powerful rogue cultivators, just waiting for the time to strike down Burning Incense Valley and wipe out the Flame Alliance!"

Dan Yangzi looked puzzled, "Why not contact Ailao Mountain? They are the real enemies of the Flame Alliance."

"Now that you speak so, why should I take the initiative to contact Ailao Mountain?" Luo Chen countered.

Dan Yangzi suddenly understood.

Looking at Luo Chen’s confidently poised demeanor, he said gravely, "Alright, then it all depends on your ability to rally the troops."

After speaking, he left with the two Ascendant Masters.

Watching their departing figures, Luo Chen blinked.

This Dan Yangzi was progressing very quickly in cultivation.

The battle for the Seed Cultivator had just passed ten years ago, yet he had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

Although he had been at the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment for a long time, his cultivation speed seemed to surpass even that of Qingdan Budding Cultivator Tao Wen.

It was unclear whether his innate talent was exceptional or if Qingdan Valley had given him special privileges.

"But, this is good news for me—having one more expert increases our chances of success."

"Now, all I need is to wait for a response from Ice Castle, Zhenlong Auction, and Luo Yun Sect."

"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly!"

...

On the streets of Heavenly Fire Immortal City.

Despite the major calamity that befell the Flame Alliance, surprisingly, the nearest Immortal City was not only unscathed but even more bustling than before.

Numerous new faces indicated that the people pouring into Heavenly Fire Immortal City were not locals.

Their crafty and ruthless gazes made the locals aware that these newcomers were up to no good.

Dan Yangzi walked down the street with the two vassals of Qingdan Valley, a Golden Core from each.

A sound isolation cover was placed over the trio, ensuring that unless higher order cultivators intentionally spied on them, no one could overhear the soundproofing technique jointly cast by the two Golden Core Ascendant Masters.

Che Xiang looked around with interest.

This was his first trip out since his Core Formation.

However, this was an opportunity he could not refuse.

He had previously used consolidating his realm as an excuse not to replace Qingdan Valley in the battle at Accumulation Thunder Mountain, but this time he should definitely exert some effort.

At his side was the conversation between Qiu Daochun and Dan Yangzi.

"Actually, you didn’t even need to come. I would have avenged Xiao Ming myself."

"Xiao Ming was my brother, and he died at the hands of a Flame Alliance budding cultivator. How could I entrust avenging him to others?"

"Sigh..."

Qiu Daochun sighed, looking at this distant junior relative.

Despite having great prospects, all because of his brother, even the position of budding cultivator had been stripped from him.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do wrong that angered Qingdan Valley so fiercely they stripped you of your budding cultivator position? It is rumored that you gave Xiao Ming a cultivation technique reserved only for budding cultivators?"

Faced with this question, Dan Yangzi avoided answering.

Qiu Daochun also didn’t pursue the matter further.

Seeing the conversation falter, Che Xiang brought up a new topic.

"I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for many years, and I didn’t expect Yu Ding Realm to have so many talented individuals emerging. Just taking a stroll in Heavenly Fire Immortal City, I’ve seen quite a few young cultivators at the late stage of foundation establishment. Tsk tsk, wasn’t there a civil war said to have decimated Yu Ding Realm’s talent for decades?"

Qiu Daochun dismissed this, "The big waves wash away the sand, and those who died were just unable to adapt. Moreover, many of the cultivators currently in Heavenly Fire Immortal City are from foreign realms, not our own Yu Ding cultivators."

"Is that so?" Che Xiang realized.

But immediately, he shook his head.

"Just as you said, the big waves wash away the sand, leaving only the talented. In my opinion, that Luo Chen is indeed extraordinary. Alone, he connects all sides—it’s truly an impressive ambition."

Qiu Daochun snorted, "Luo Chen has accomplished so many great things in succession, having such ambition and confidence now is only natural."

"Yes!" Che Xiang exclaimed, "He is so young, and his future is so bright. If he succeeds in core formation in the future, even glimpsing at the Nascent Soul isn’t out of the question."

"I don’t see it that way."

Che Xiang looked puzzled at Qiu Daochun.

So did Dan Yangzi.

Although his relationship with Luo Chen was average, he still had some admiration for his peer who was slightly superior in pill refinement technique.

Although he believed that unrestricted, his pill refinement technique was no less than Luo Chen’s.

But in the end, he had lost.

In his opinion, with the help of Ice Castle, Luo Chen’s chances of future core formation were still very high.

Faced with their doubts, Qiu Daochun calmly said, "Success breeds confidence, and so does failure. Having accomplished so many tasks beyond his level at such a young age, he has already become somewhat inflated."

Che Xiang disagreed, "Inflated? I don’t think so. If at this age I had made a name for myself in Yu Ding, cutting down Golden Cores, I might be even more conceited than him. From what I observed in just a short while, he still has some measure of restraint."

Dan Yangzi also spoke up in time, "I often hear about his deeds within the sect. The sect elders praise him highly, it doesn’t sound like what you describe, Uncle Qiu."

Faced with their differing opinions.

Qiu Daochun had no interest in arguing.

At last he only left them with one comment.

"I feel he is very dangerous now, better not to get too involved."

...

Ten days later!

Luo Chen received a piece of news he had been anticipating.

Tian Xingzi represented Luo Yun Sect and reached a cooperation with Luo Chen.

Sharing his personal experience of the Great Technique of Pill Formation "Bead Curtain Lock", along with intelligence as conditions, he exchanged a hundred-year Thunder Jade from him.

Meanwhile, the Jueqing Fairy personally visited Heavenly Fire Immortal City, agreeing to take action for him. She even stayed nearby to provide protection.

Additionally, Luo Chen also obtained corresponding intelligence about Ailao Mountain from Xing Zonghan.

The opposition was indeed starting to target the Flame Alliance from all directions.

Especially from Black Water Marsh, the Flame Alliance had fully retracted, handing over resource-rich areas producing Black Demon Mud and Trace Mud, among other rare materials, to Ailao Mountain.

"I knew it, when one whale falls, countless creatures thrive. The decline of the Flame Alliance is evident, other great sects couldn’t possibly remain indifferent."

Luo Chen was immensely excited.

Holding a report from Luo Yun Sect in his hand, his gaze swept distantly over the depths of Heavenly Fire Immortal City.

"The Black Market Auction is happening tonight, isn’t it?"

"This auction will be the final straw to break the Flame Alliance."

"Qin Tairan, the way you dealt with me back then, it won’t be long before I return the favor in the same manner."

"I wonder what you’re feeling now, if you can still remain composed?"

As he murmured this.

In his eyes, fireworks suddenly burst forth.

Boom!

Deep within the Immortal City, a surge of Qi Power exploded.

"You petty creatures, how dare you cause trouble in my Flame Alliance!"
