Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1001: Chapter 404: Battle in the Skies_4

This was a recognition of the strength of an equally powerful opponent.

Xiahou Kun had long known the origins of the two, and at this time, he followed up by saying, ”The two friends have shone brightly on the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain, I have long heard of this. Now that we have met, it truly feels like a regretful delay!”

True Disciple Qin glanced at him and then turned to look at Zheng Kejian.

”Where is Elder Brother Zheng Xian?”

Zheng Kejian cautiously said, ”My uncle is in closed-door cultivation, striking toward the Great Circle of Foundation Period.”

Song Fengzi, who was at the side, showed a pensive expression upon hearing this.

The breath he had previously sensed, nearing the Great Circle of Foundation Period, seemed to be that of Zheng Xian, mentioned by the two of them.

True Disciple Qin frowned slightly, and immediately said, ”The matter of annihilating the Luo Tian Creed, my Flame Alliance wouldn’t be suitable to take action. But Elder Brother Zheng Xian had made a mistake in his early years and was expelled from the sect. If he can annihilate the Luo Tian Creed and redeem the reputation of the Flame Alliance, my grandfather will personally take charge, take him back into the sect, and even help him in condensing the Golden Core.”

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Kejian could not help but show a look of wild joy.

Although that Zheng Xian was not from his branch of the Rolling Dragon Ridge Zheng family,

He had shared the same bloodline as the elder ancestor who founded the Zheng family.

It was just that the ancestor left the sect to branch out in Tian Lan Immortal City, while that individual’s father chose to stay within the sect.

If through the opportunity of annihilating the Luo Tian Creed, they could allow him to return to the fold of the Flame Alliance, then the Zheng family could once again have a powerful backer.

If he were able to succeed in Core Formation, it would be cause for double celebration!

But all these were predicated on the annihilation of the Luo Tian Creed.

He carefully asked, ”The Luo Tian Creed is a vassal of the Ice Castle, and their leader Dan Chenzi is highly valued by Ice Castle, even exceptionally promoted to the rank of Guest Elder. If we take action like this, wouldn’t that provoke the Ice Castle...?”

”Hmph, you don’t need to worry about this anymore.”

True Disciple Qin snorted lightly, clasping his hands in the direction of Tian Lan Immortal City, from afar.

”My grandfather arrived at Tian Lan just yesterday. If the Ice Castle chooses not to intervene, that’s fine, but should they take action, it will just give my grandfather a chance to hold them accountable,” he said.

”You just focus on doing your part!”

Zheng Kejian was momentarily taken aback, then the great weight in his heart finally settled.

The people in the hall were likewise overjoyed.

With a Golden Core Ascendant Master backing them, this battle was almost certain to be won!

”Oh right, there’s something you might not yet know,” said True Disciple Qin with a sly smile, ”My grandfather, through his connections, has looked into the Four Sects Alliance’s Register of Merits. Your father, Zheng Tianfang, it turns out, was indeed killed by Dan Chenzi.”

In that instant,

All eyes fell upon Zheng Kejian.

His body trembled uncontrollably before finally calming down.

His face twisted, eyes bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said,

”If I don’t avenge this, I am unworthy of being his son!”

”To annihilate the Luo Tian Creed, my Zheng family will come out in full force, ensuring not a single brick or tile, not a blade of grass or twig of Danxia remains!”

...

Several days later.

Tian Lan Immortal City, within Binglan Palace.

Powers from all directions gathered!

The host, Ice Castle, represented by Yin Xiuhua in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, was now sitting at the very end of the table,

In front of those three factions, with a grim face, saying not a word.

Tao Wen sat on the ice chair, with an easy smile, as if watching a play unfold before her eyes.

That play, of course, was the confrontation between two great Golden Core Ascendant Masters!

Elder Fei of Ailao Mountain and Elder Qin of the Flame Alliance.

In the protracted twenty-plus-year internal strife within the Yu Ding, each sect had suffered losses and nurtured mutual grievances.

Among them, only Ailao Mountain and Flame Alliance had a particularly deep enmity!

Not only did they fight to the death in Blackwater Marsh, but they also clashed fiercely several times on the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain.

Elder Fei had fought with this Elder Qin of the Flame Alliance no fewer than three times.

Seeing his old adversary now, his eyes were ablaze, ”As for the right to manage the Immortal City, no matter how you look at it, it isn’t the Flame Alliance’s turn yet. Your coming here this time, I fear, will be in vain.”

Qin Tairan gave a cold snort, ”A defeated rival, how dare you brag about valor?”

An off-topic rebuttal, yet it precisely struck the sore spot of Elder Fei.

In those several encounters, nearly every one had ended with his defeat.

If it hadn’t been for the aid of the Golden Core Ascendant Masters from the Four Sects Alliance, he might not even have been able to save his own life.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Fei stared tenaciously at his opponent, ”You’ve come alone to Tian Lan, straight into the tiger’s den; do you really think I have no means to deal with you?”

Qin Tairan tugged at the corner of his mouth, ”I come and go as I please. I fear nothing, not you, nor even Jueqing here!”

Though he said so, his tone was clearly weaker than before.

For a simple reason, the Jueqing Fairy was currently not in Tian Lan.

Or rather, at this place in the Ice Castle, there was not a single Golden Core Cultivator.

Otherwise, Yin Xiuhua would not have resigned herself to such a menial role.

Fei Ming sneered coldly. If they were in the Outer World, he acknowledged he was no match for his opponent.

But within the Immortal City, he really wasn’t afraid of him!

Because when Tian Lan Immortal City was originally constructed, the cultivators from the Ailao Mountain lineage contributed greatly, and when it came to the configuration of Arrays, they were more familiar than the rest of The Seven Sects.

If they truly fought to the death, he was confident he could take down his opponent.

The only concern was the stance of the Golden Core Ascendant Master who currently oversaw Tian Lan Immortal City, the remnant of the Hao Ran Sect.

He was impartial and paid to maintain peace.

None of the cultivators from The Seven Sects were allowed to fight within the Immortal City, not even Golden Core Ascendant Masters!

Tao Wen shook her head and joined the conversation as a junior,

”Let’s talk about the rotation cycle for managing the Immortal City!”

”This matter has been delayed for quite a few days; delaying it further wastes everyone’s time.”

”Elder Qin, both in reason and fairness, the right to manage the Immortal City for the next ten years should belong to Ailao Mountain. Your coming here to confront us now seems somewhat unreasonable,” she said.
