Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 430 - 298 Talents from All Sides Gather in Gao City, Demon Flesh as Provisions

Halfway through listening, Tao Qian formed a general impression of Yang Tingjian and Si Xixin.

Without a doubt, both came from significant backgrounds.

Especially the latter, he was almost certain that the rumors about Si being from the Si Family must be true.

The era of great strife!

Even the Primordial Sect had chosen to make a comeback in this era, and all factions in the Cultivation World wanted to get involved. How could ancient families like the Xiu Family and the Si Family miss such an opportunity?

Since Yang Tingjian was the Great Freedom Buddha's Son, it certainly wouldn't be an arbitrary choice to select someone to assist him.

Without any surprises, the junior warlord known as "Si Xixin" must be one of the so-called Hidden Dragons, and her development potential was much greater than that of Song Tiecheng, the major warlord currently occupying Ancient Yu Province.

But he wondered if there was also a Saint Heir from the Alchemist Organization by her side?

Just as this thought flashed through Tao Qian's mind, the mechanical voice of Lian Jing'er suddenly confirmed it.

"Though Si Xixin's forces only number tens of thousands of soldiers, her established 'Xixin Mansion' not only gathers notable figures like Yang Tingjian, the Great Freedom Buddha's Son, but also Liang Yifu, the son of the Sect Master of the Heterodox Wealth God Sect, Xu Miaoniang, Elder from the Ten Thousand Flower Sect, Qu Beihai, a True Disciple of the Fungus Sect, and Gu Wutian, a True Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Building."

"Xixin Mansion may not be well-known, but it has already entered the surveillance range of many Great Sects."

"The Primordial Human Record contains an assessment of those with the potential of Hidden Dragons to rise and possess great fortune, and Si Xixin has been listed among the top contenders; we've sent comrades from the National Salvation Congress, like Lin Qiushui, to connect with her and discuss potential cooperation."

Hearing this, Tao Qian immediately raised his eyebrows.

His assessment of Si Xixin rose once again.

Good grief!

A Hidden Dragon?

This was clearly a True Dragon already favored by many Great Sects who had united and placed their bets in advance.

However, be it a True Dragon or a Hidden Dragon,

why would such a prominent figure suddenly send a major general to this Gao Ren City? It couldn't possibly be a coincidence, could it?

"Is it also for the Valley God Gui?"

No sooner had Tao Qian entertained this doubt than the projected images from Lian Jing'er's Treasure Wheel showed that the four groups of people seemed to have noticed the presence of the other three parties and quickly started to accelerate.

In no more than a couple of breaths, they were all about to converge at Gao Ren City.

Lian Jing'er simply stopped reporting each detail and instead transmitted all the results directly into Tao Qian's mind.

"From the direction of West City, a total of dozens of people are coming, all Cultivators, with each person riding unique beasts with special bloodlines such as Mixed Dragon Beasts, Winged Snakes, Devil Horses, and Cloud Dogs."

"The leader has reached the Perfect Transcend Mortality; among his subordinates, there are two more Transcend Mortals, and the rest are all Foundation Establishment. After identification, the leader's identity has been confirmed."

"Li Fulian, this person is one of the True Disciples of the largest Heterodox Sect in the Eastern Four Provinces, the Star Leader Sect. Apart from the Sect's Divine Skills, this person has also had a fortunate incident, being taken as a registered disciple by an Elder of the Sword Dao Major Sect, Shaoqing Sect, and was taught profound swordsmanship. Thus, although he has only reached the realm of Perfect Transcend Mortality, he can fight above his level against Cavernous Mystery Cultivators, and even defeat them."

"Li Fulian is known for his chivalry. Owing to an incident, he accidentally became well-acquainted with Zhang Mazi, the largest warlord in Fengtian Province, was persuaded by him, and agreed to assist Zhang Mazi in the Mortal World for sixty years."

"Shaoqing Sect Elder Song Qingshan holds Li Fulian in high regard, believing that he is more suited to Sword Dao. If he can switch to Shaoqing before entering Cavernous Mystery Realm, he may eventually advance to Ultimate Happiness Realm, and even has a faint hope for Daoist Transformation."

"The Primordial Human Record records that Zhang Mazi is also regarded as one of the Hidden Dragons among the top rank, under his command are several Great Sect disciples, and he has already gained support from the largest force within Fengtian, Youliao, Wujiang, and Changbai Four Provinces, the Five Immortal Demon Clan. The various Major Sects believe that, sooner or later, he will defeat opponents like Ma Xiaoning, Guo Zhanlong, and take the lead to rule the Eastern Four Provinces."

"As of the Demon City incident, Zhang Mazi has begun preparations to send troops to Youliao to conquer Ma Xiaoning first."

"The National Salvation Congress believes Zhang Mazi is thick-skinned and cold-hearted, highly cunning, can be cooperated with on the surface, but should not be entrusted with significant matters. Comrade Zhao Sanyan has already been sent to negotiate cooperation with him."

...

"From the direction of North City, a total of seven female cultivators are coming."

"The leader is of Cavernous Mystery Realm, followed by two Transcend Mortals, and four Foundation Establishment. After identification, the leader's identity has been confirmed."

"Xie Lingzhu, this person is from the thousand-year-old Xie Family and is also a lay disciple of Guanyin Temple. She practices both her family's Great Book and the Buddhist Law of Guanyin Temple; she is a strong contender even among Cavernous Mystery Cultivators."

"Xie Lingzhu and her sister Xie Lingji are born of the same mother, both daughters of the Xie Family Master. However, since their early years, her sister Xie Lingji's brilliance has far outshone hers. Later, a significant incident erupted: the leading female fairy of the Spirit Treasure Sect, Yunhua Immortal, came knocking on the door, forcibly taking her sister Xie Lingji away from the Xie Family. This event was considered a humiliation by the Xie Family."

"Because of this incident, Xie Lingzhu left and joined Guanyin Temple."

...

"Hmm?"

Unexpectedly, a piece of information flowed through that caused Tao Qian's expression to change.

He could not have imagined encountering the sister of Senior Sister Lingji here.

The secret incident that occurred when his Master took on Lingji as a disciple was also told to Tao Qian, only without mentioning that the Xie Family considered it a humiliation.

Now revisiting the event, Tao Qian couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

"Aunt Yunhua was indeed too heavy-handed back then; no wonder the Xie Family bore a grudge."

"Had it not been for the later incident, with Senior Sister Lingji mediating between the two sides, relations might still have been mended."

"But who would have thought that Senior Sister Lingji would run into trouble, thus this matter has probably turned into a bitter feud."

"Alas, I have to keep my identity as the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor hidden later. If Ling Zhu Daoist sees through it, she might just attack me."
