Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1078: Chapter 426: Turmoil within the Flame Alliance, Luo Chen Approaches the Incense Burning Ceremony (Seeking Monthly Votes!!!)_4 Chapter 1078: Chapter 426: Turmoil within the Flame Alliance, Luo Chen Approaches the Incense Burning Ceremony (Seeking Monthly Votes!!!)_4 Three Great Golden Core Cultivators, along with the current Sect Leader Xiao Lian, were gathered together.

All of their faces looked very grim.

In recent days, more and more cultivators had been prowling near the Flame Alliance.

Intermixed were Divine Consciousness sweeps, which were even more terrifying.

At first, Qin Tairan and the others didn’t take it seriously.

But gradually, they realized those Divine Consciousnesses were not from a single person.

Upon careful observation, they actually discovered no less than ten Divine Consciousnesses!

What did this mean?

Ten great Jindan cultivators!

And the last time so many Jindan cultivators came to Burning Incense Valley, everyone still vividly remembered what happened.

Could it be that history was about to repeat itself?

Among the four, Xiao Lian’s realm was only at Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization, and he was the junior among them, hence though he was the Sect Leader, he was very respectful in front of the three.

He asked anxiously, “Elder Qin, Uncle Xuyang, Elder Wang, what should we do now? With so many people gathering nearby, they won’t really come attacking our doors, will they?”

Seeing his panicked demeanor, Elder Wang scolded, “What are you panicking about!”

Qin Tairan glared at Xiao Lian, “When the soldiers come, block them; when the water comes, cover it with earth. Those people aren’t united, most are just fair-weather followers, what’s there to be afraid of!”

Ascendant Master Xuyang sighed.

“Brother, is the Sword Sect really not going to make a move?”

It was fine not to mention the Sword Sect.

But upon mentioning that name, Qin Tairan became quite displeased.

“They say conflicts among the Great Sects are confined to the New Realm by a five-hundred-year alliance agreement, and Ascendant Sects shouldn’t interfere. Damn their agreement, when they dealt with Qingdan Valley, they didn’t care about this agreement.”

Ascendant Master Xuyang’s brow furrowed slightly, “Last time we could use the Luo Yun Sect’s involvement as an excuse, this time it indeed isn’t easy to intervene. My only question is, without us Flame Alliance, who will refine their Sword Pills?”

Elder Wang hesitantly said, “Hasn’t there been a rumor that the Sword Sect has been trying to complete the original Sword Pill Refinement method these years? Could it be that they have succeeded?”

Succeeded, huh?

Perhaps they had succeeded!

That was the only reason that could explain why Sword Sect abandoned the Flame Alliance.

Firstly, Flame Alliance was useless to them; secondly, no one wanted their lifeline to be held in the hands of others.

But in doing so, Flame Alliance had become expendable!

Looking at the worried faces, Elder Wang tentatively said, “Why don’t we split up?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tairan flew into a rage.

“Do not bring this up again!”

Elder Wang helplessly said, “Flame Alliance was never a proper hereditary sect to begin with. Dissolving Flame Alliance and us splitting up means no one would covet it anymore. Later on, when each of us has grown stronger and reunited, restarting the Flame Alliance wouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“You!” Qin Tairan, enraged, blew his beard and glared, his finger trembling as he pointed at Elder Wang.

“I don’t think dissolution is necessary,” Xiao Lian, though fearing the future, was reluctant to give up the hard-earned position of Sect Leader.

Ascendant Master Xuyang raised his hand to calm the furious Qin Tairan.

He took a deep breath and said, “The great enemy has not yet come to our doors, how can we fall into disarray ourselves? Besides, the only known enemy is Fei Ming from Ailao Mountain.”

“It’s said to be one person, but who knows if he’s colluded with other Golden Core cultivators,” Elder Wang muttered.

Ascendant Master Xuyang shook his head and said seriously, “In these days, all disciples within reach have been summoned back, and although the affiliated forces are wavering, they can still be dispatched. If we can further invite one or two Golden Core friends, we may not be able to get through this calamity. I still say the same thing: if we can unite and overcome this difficulty together, our Flame Alliance can indeed be reborn from Nirvana.”

Hearing this, Qin Tairan couldn’t help but praise loudly.

“Brother, you truly see clearly!”

Elder Wang’s expression slightly softened.

Indeed, if they could achieve what Xuyang had mentioned, even if Ailao Mountain colluded with several Golden Core cultivators, they might not be their match.

“In that case, let’s put in another effort for the Flame Alliance!”

“Senior Brother Qin, suppressing the affiliated forces will be up to you.”

“Elder Wang, the task of contacting Golden Core allies will rely on you.”

“Nephew Xiao, you shall command the disciples within the Sect.”

The three of them nodded in agreement.

However, before departing, Xiao Lian looked towards Ascendant Master Xuyang with a puzzled expression.

“Uncle, what about you?”

Ascendant Master Xuyang smiled slightly, “My injuries will be mostly healed very soon, and should a great battle arise, I shall intervene!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lian felt a sense of relief in his heart.

The situation didn’t seem to have reached its worst point yet!

However!

A month later, as rumors from the outer world suggested, looking at the densely packed multitude of enemies outside Burning Incense Valley,

Xiao Lian’s heart instantly sank to the abyss.

“Fei Ming that old dog, how can he possibly gather so many allies? Even if Ailao Mountain were to come out in force, it shouldn’t reach this extent!”

Just as he was engulfed in despair,

Roars reached his ears.

“What are you dazed for, activate the Fire Burning Array!”

Xiao Lian, jolted to attention, immediately issued the command.

The next moment,

Inside the cavern of Burning Incense Valley, twenty stone pillars broke through the ground and soared into the air.

Clusters of flames burst forth like fireworks.

In that sky of fireworks, a crimson light curtain swiftly enveloped the entire Burning Incense Valley.

Above it, the flow of flames rolled intensively, and the smoke was dense, seemingly capable of melting everything.

Qin Tairan even rose into the air, glaring around furiously, his gaze finally fixing on one person.

Faced with this scene, many Cultivators who had come to watch also subconsciously followed Qin Tairan’s gaze, landing on an elder leading dozens of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Ailao Mountain Golden Core Elder–Fei Ming!

“Fei Ming, you defeated subordinate, dare you provoke me, do you no longer wish to live?”

Faced with this question filled with murderous intent.

“You old scoundrel, today is your day to die!”

Fei Ming retorted strongly.

But in his heart, he cursed silently, I’m not the main person in charge, why is everyone looking at me!

He took a deep breath and called out loudly, “Dan Chenzi, you called everyone here, why hide now, show yourself!”

Many Cultivators were taken aback.

The great enemy of the Flame Alliance isn’t Ailao Mountain?

Dan Chenzi?

This name sounds very familiar!

It seems he is a remarkable Pill Refiner!

How has he become the great enemy of the Flame Alliance, calling multiple forces to gather here?

While they were puzzling and speculating,

A voice full of vigor came drifting over.

“It’s not that the junior is concealing and hiding; it’s just that the senior couldn’t wait and took the initiative!”

“Luo Someone has arrived!”

This voice, initially distant, seemed extremely remote.

But as it approached, its sound boomed like thunder, rolling like a tide.

It didn’t seem like the amplification of Spirit Qi but rather like a terrifying Demon Beast from the Wilderness Mountains, roaring out with pure physical prowess.

Where it passed, thunder exploded, carrying boundless murderous intent that surged and permeated!
