Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1572: Chapter 582: The Might of Three Palm Strikes, Instantly Killing a Peer of the Same Order

Dozens of miles away from the valley.

Qian Ting, clad in glittering golden robes, listened to the reports from below, his expression fluctuating uncertainly.

“So it is within that valley!”

A few days ago, he had led an ambush against a Female Cultivator; that person had come from that valley.

The ambush was interrupted by True Master Fu from the Tianyuan Building, causing them great trepidation for a time.

However, they managed to suppress the news of the incident, so much so that even their own clan members were not informed; this led to their current strategy of lying in wait.

“Clan Chief, our people are in position, should we make a move?”

Qian Ting was somewhat hesitant. He inquired, “Aside from us, is anyone else here?”

A clan member immediately replied, “There are some Rogue Cultivators nearby who refuse to leave, mostly at the Foundation Establishment Stage, probably hoping to seize an opportunity.”

After some thought, Qian Ting decisively said, “My Qian Family does not allow others to reap the benefits of our work. Send someone to drive them forward to attack Luo Hai, and make up an excuse that he has Core Formation Resources on him.”

“Will those Rogue Cultivators believe it?”

“Do you think they will believe it?”

Qian Ting retorted.

The clan member was taken aback, and then came to a realization.

In the face of an opportunity for Core Formation, no Rogue Cultivator could resist the temptation, especially with a Cultivator from the Qian Family leading them; their greatest fear would be dispelled.

Upon receiving their orders, the clan member rushed towards the direction of the valley.

Qian Ting followed at a leisurely pace, continuously pondering in his mind.

Originally, the ambush outside the valley was admonished by True Master Fu, and the three powers were quite fearful, so they visited with gifts to apologize.

They didn’t meet in person.

However, True Master Fu did give a response, claiming that the people from the valley had nothing to do with him.

In theory, taking action against Luo Hai now shouldn’t pose any significant problems.

But with Qian Ting’s cunning, what if he accidentally offended True Master Fu?

“The Rogue Cultivators can take the blame in name.”

“However, with such a heavy responsibility, it cannot be borne by my Qian Family alone; we must find others to share the benefits.”

“I spent Flower Spirit Stones to bribe Wu Yan, who’s on duty in the Feileng City Cold Palace, to leak information. It is likely that his Wu Family must also be aware of this and will take action.”

“The Zhou Family has always kept a low profile and probably won’t meddle in this affair. But Luo Hai carries mining materials worth millions, including precious resources like Trace Mud and Weaving Gold. Refining Sharpedge and Hundred Craft Mountain obtained very little from the auction before, so they must be resentful. I can inform them as well.”

“Once Luo Hai is captured, distributing some of the spoils of war will exonerate my Qian Family, and then the Soul Nourishing Wood I desire can be safely acquired.”

After much deliberation, Qian Ting finally made up his mind.

He took out several Jade Slips for communication from his Storage Bag, whispered different messages into each with a low voice, and then accelerated his flying speed toward the valley.

However, before approaching the battlefield, the Foundation Establishment Stage clan member who had come earlier to communicate appeared, running towards him with a terrified expression.

“Clan Chief, this man is valiant and unstoppable. The Eighth Elder was slain by him in just one encounter, not even holding out for a single move!”

“Little Eight is dead?”

Qian Ting was stunned, his face showing disbelief.

“How is that possible?”

The Qian Family is mighty, with nine Golden Core Cultivators, including his son who had just advanced to the Golden Core Period, not inferior to any of the Golden Core Great Sects.

For this visit to the Feileng City auction, he had brought two Golden Core Cultivators with him.

Even though Little Eight wasn’t his direct descendant, Qian Ting had high hopes for this younger relative who had advanced to the Golden Core Stage about fifty years ago and had been diligently cultivating in the family; hence he had brought him along to gain some experience.

Qian Ting, with a furious expression, commanded, “Bring Jin Zhan over here. We must not let this Rogue Cultivator escape!”

…

Above the valley.

Luo Chen held a trembling Golden Core, his indifferent gaze sweeping all around.

There were at least a hundred Cultivators encircling the area.

Leading them were two Golden Core Elders from the Qian Family, with the rest being Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

However, one of the Golden Core Elders had already perished under his Thunderbolt Strike, with even their Golden Core captured.

At this moment, seeing his mighty display, those Rogue Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage were already in disarray, attempting to flee.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen let out a sinister laugh.

“Dare to act against me, be prepared to pay the price.”

He raised both hands, and over a thousand Fireballs, like stars, rose behind him.

Each one of them contained tremendous power.

Golden Core Cultivators might not care, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators would feel parched just at the sight.

“Run!”

It was unclear who initiated the retreat, but someone started to flee backwards.

In any case, hundreds of Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators were already escaping in all directions.

Luo Chen snorted coldly as the Fireballs suspended behind him rained down like Meteor Rain in all directions.

A casual strike from a Golden Core Cultivator was a devastating attack for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Especially since Luo Chen’s mastery over the Fireball Technique had reached an unfathomable height.

Even the most Low Order First Order Techniques, when cast with his refined and dominant Qi Power, were not inferior to any Second Order supreme Technique.

As the Sky Full of Fire Feathers rained down.

Within a radius of several miles, cries of agony filled the air.

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were doing everything they could to defend themselves.

Some attacked in retaliation, others defended themselves.

The weaker ones were shattered upon contact.

The stronger ones, even if they managed to defend, were severely injured and fled in panic, no longer daring to linger.

Luo Chen did not concern himself with the toll of his strike, focusing instead on the remaining group of people.

Nine Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and one Golden Core Cultivator, whose Mana Fluctuation seemed to be around the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage.
