Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1008: Chapter 407: Whoever wins, we help; when the formation breaks and people die, we fight with all our might.

The first day of the attack on Luo Tian Creed’s forces ended with Min Longyu, the Array Master of Luo Tian Creed, unleashing his formidable power, cutting down ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They arrived with overwhelming momentum, but the result was a heavy loss.

This situation caused an uproar among the cultivators of Tianlan.

In the midst of the uproar, seeing the Zheng Family setting up a Large Spirit Gathering Array, many guessed their intent.

Before the Array was completely broken, the Zhengs dared not step into Danxia Peak.

To annihilate the Luo Tian Creed, they first had to break the Array.

Now, setting up a Large Spirit Gathering Array clearly meant that if they could not achieve a quick victory, they were preparing for a war of attrition.

This mode of combat also aligned well with the cultivators’ stereotypical impression of confrontations between major powers in the Immortal Cultivation World.

There was no such thing as overnight success; all they could do was forward steadily.

In the past, the Danxia Min Family was worn down for a full year before the enemies dared to fully invade.

Now, it was merely a repetition of the old days.

This was also good!

At least, it allowed some more time to watch the drama unfold.

Among them, some astute minds faintly recognized an opportunity.

In the crowd, a seemingly oblivious old stranger quietly whispered to someone next to him: ”I previously saw Wei Bufan of Xuchen Mountain fall in that rainbow Array.”

”Really, were you close with him, Friend?”

”Hehe... I mean, Xuchen Mountain had only Wei Bufan as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. Now that he’s dead, doesn’t that mean Xuchen Mountain has lost its Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle?”

”Uh...”

”I must go!”

After a brief conversation, the old man cautiously departed from the crowd, his friend hesitating for a moment before hurrying to follow.

This scene seemed secretive.

But how keen are a cultivator’s senses!

Their conversation was not through the transmission of spirit consciousness but spoken directly.

Therefore, many overheard it.

For a moment, there was a slight disturbance in the crowd of onlookers.

The batch of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who had just perished included more than just Wei Bufan of Xuchen Mountain!

Black Panther Mountain, Changliu Gorge, Yu Hua Pavilion, Tan Family...

At this moment, they were all without leaders!

Even if some forces still had one or two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators left, a few rogue cultivators calling friends and allies could always form a respectable team.

Storming fortresses might not be feasible, but picking some easy battles was always possible.

In less than half a day’s time,

One-third of the onlookers had dispersed, each rushing towards their respective targets.

This unusual activity naturally caught the attention of many interested parties.

When Luo Feng, who was hiding his tracks, saw that old man who had intentionally spoken softly but was actually loudly conspiring, return, a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on his face.

Next to him, Chen Xiuli from Tianyi District Chen Family, saw this expression and was somewhat curious.

”Friend Luo, do you know that Fifth Level Foundation Establishment old man?”

”Of course, I know him!”

Luo Feng quietly transmitted his spirit consciousness, and given his and Chen Xiuli’s Late Stage Foundation Establishment level, they didn’t have to worry about being overheard.

He laughed and said, ”That man is Kang Dongyue, the head of the Kang Family from Taishan District! In his early years, he had several dealings with me. It is said that his ancestors had some connections with Yu Ding Sword Sect.”

Taishan District, Kang Dongyue?

Chen Xiuli frowned slightly; that was a rather remote district.

And being extremely far from Tian Lan Immortal City, its neighboring Sects should be Luo Yun Sect and Flame Alliance instead. Why would their head come to Tian Lan?

And that earlier dialogue...

”It seems this Friend Kang has completely boarded the ship of Luo Tian Creed, helping them share the external pressure,” Luo Feng remarked.

Chen Xiuli was puzzled, ”If he’s an affiliate of the Sword Sect, why not help the Flame Alliance but instead assist Luo Tian Creed?”

”What can being a Sword Sect affiliate offer them?” Luo Feng countered.

Without waiting for a reply, he continued, ”But Luo Tian Creed indeed has a tangible beneficial relationship with them. The Kang Family’s Gold-Quality Jade Liquid has been selling well in Tian Lan for years, thanks in no small part to Luo Tian Creed.”

Chen Xiuli still didn’t quite understand.

Even if there were business dealings, should they not disregard their own patron?

What she didn’t know was that apart from business ties, Luo Chen and Kang Dongyue also shared a life-saving grace. When Kang Xianqiong came to Tian Lan to buy medicine for his grandfather, it was Luo Chen who helped him successfully bid on the Third Order Healing Pill at the Tian Lan auction.

This time Kang Dongyue came alone, without bringing any cultivators from the Kang Family, indicating it was his personal action.

Shaking her head, Chen Xiuli temporarily put aside these doubts, her gaze turning towards the mountain that was being continuously attacked.

”Should we help Luo Tian Creed?”

This question also made Luo Feng somewhat troubled for a moment.

Months ago, they had met with Sima Huiniang, the president of Luo Tian Creed.

At that time, she had asked them to join forces against the enemy, but they had stalled without giving a definitive answer.

Now, the worries she had expressed had really materialized.

It was time for them to make a decision.
