Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1479: Chapter 550: Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Inviting the Wolf into the House_3

Such progress, if made known, would be laughable to death.

Five Great Royal Clans of Demon Crabs?

Is that it?

Chi Yan frowned and then humphed, ”If it comes to it, I’ll use the heritage of my clan to trigger the eruption of the submarine volcano, and cleanse this sea area!”

Lv Xiu hurriedly interjected, ”That won’t do, if it affects the Fourth Order Spirit Vein here, how are we supposed to advance to the Transformation Period in the future?”

Chi Yan, extremely irritated, said, ”This won’t do, that won’t do. You want the Mysterious Rock Molt and yet want to preserve the Fourth Order Spirit Vein. Don’t you know the human saying, ’You can’t have your cake and eat it too’?”

Nine Claws scoffed, ”The Spirit Vein can be shared, the Molt goes to the fated one, how can one not have both?”

”You!” Chi Yan’s anger surged.

”Enough, stop arguing.”

Jin Hun spoke coldly, ”Each of us is either stuck at the peak of Third Order, or just one step away from the Transformation Period. We are here seeking the opportunity to advance. No matter who ends up gaining the opportunity, it will still mean a chance to enter the Transformation Period. At that time, the remaining clans will also have a backing. Now is the time to cooperate with all our hearts, not a time for rash actions.”

Chi Yan, stunned, ”Your King Crab Clan has always been tyrannical and overbearing, when did you Jin Hun start caring about the bigger picture?”

Jin Hun glanced at him and coldly said, ”Without a Demon Emperor presiding over the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, sooner or later it will become a hunting ground for the Human Clan. It was the collapse of the human holy lands that gave us a breather in these hundred years. Even so, forces of Immortal Cultivators who got wind of it have come here to hunt. If in the coming centuries, none of us becomes a Transformation Period Demon Emperor, once the Human Clan recovers, I’m afraid the Mysterious Rock Sea Area will have to change its name!”

His lengthy speech, though spoken calmly and indifferently by the old crab, weighed heavily like a mountain.

All who heard it fell silent.

They all knew of a Monster Hunting Ship wandering nearby.

It was because the target of the hunters on the ship was the Ring-Headed Turtle, or else they would have already joined forces to destroy it.

Even so, there had been several clashes.

Even there was one time when King Crab Clan’s powerhouse, Jin Ao, ruthlessly tore apart a Golden Core Cultivator.

If it weren’t for their mutual concerns, they would have fought with all their might, battling life and death.

Seeing everyone was aware of the situation, Jin Hun eased his tone and continued, ”The Big Formation on Mysterious Rock Island is mysterious and complex. With our understanding, we cannot decipher it, we can only attempt to force our way in using brute strength.”

”But the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, they are the once number one clan on Mysterious Rock Island!”

”The number of Third-Order Demon Kings within their ranks far surpasses any of our clans. Only by the alliance of the five clans can we overpower them.”

”With the enhancement of the Array, brute force cannot break through. Therefore, we still have to come back to the issue of how to ingeniously break the Array.”

At this point, it seemed to become a deadlock.

But Jin Hun changed his tone, ”As far as I know, Zhu Xiang has a highly valued junior who has received the legacy of the Human Clan and has some understanding of Arrays.”

The crowd was somewhat surprised, was there actually a Demon Crab capable of learning the Human Clan’s legacy?

Lv Xiu hesitated, ”Could it be that little guy Zhu Qi?”

She knew of a genius who emerged from the Demon Spider Crab Clan.

It was said that this junior was born with congenital deficiencies, quite frail, and often bullied within the clan.

Later, during a wander outside, he accidentally entered a Cave Mansion of a Human Cultivator and acquired a legacy, from where he started his fortune.

Hundreds of years have passed, and he already became a Third-order powerhouse!

For this reason, she once thought of forming a marital alliance with him, using a Second-Order Green Emperor Crab to win him over.

”Exactly!” Jin Hun confirmed.

Lv Xiu suddenly realized, ”If it’s him, I think there might be a possibility.”

Nine Claws sinisterly said, ”The problem is, if we let Zhu Xiang’s side break the Array, does it mean that when the spoils of war are distributed, we have to give them a larger share?”

Jin Hun puzzled, ”Nine Claws, aren’t you the closest to Zhu Xiang?”

Nine Claws sneered, ”Friendship is friendship, interest is interest, we’re only not yet in Transformation, not some ignorant beasts, I can still distinguish that.”

”It really doesn’t matter to share a bit more; after all, what we want the most...”

Just as they were discussing how to distribute the benefits within the palace made from the corpse of a Five-Colored Clam, the Light Curtain flashed.

A figure walked in.

”No need to consider this any longer, my little Qi has already fallen.”

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, it was the Clan Chief of the Demon Spider Crab Clan—Zhu Xiang!

It’s no wonder that the Demon Spider Crab Clan, known for their extremely sharp sensory perception, was able to eavesdrop on the conversation within the Five-Colored Clam while being outside.

However, the message in his words—Zhu Qi has already perished?

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.

Jin Hun’s entire body flashed with golden light as he exclaimed in anger: ”How could this have happened!”

This was the Demon Crab Clan’s one and only chance to rise to power.

After various efforts and trials, one could say that the success or failure was basically dependent on Zhu Qi alone.

Now you’re telling me that Zhu Qi has already fallen?

He couldn’t accept it!

Zhu Xiang shook his head, a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

He immediately relayed the details of Zhu Qi’s demise to everyone.

After a long silence.

Jin Hun clenched his teeth and said: ”It was actually the master behind that Evil Flood Bandit Bird, damn it! I felt something was amiss before, so I sent out Jin Ao from the retreat to deal with this matter, yet I still failed to uncover the true mastermind behind this!”

Nine Claws seemed a bit bewildered. Over these past few years, it was only their Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan that hadn’t suffered from Luo Chen’s dark schemes.

Therefore, they didn’t feel strongly about this.

Lv Xiu was also somewhat angry at this moment: ”Had we not been focusing our attention on Mysterious Rock Island, we would have sent out a large force to capture that mastermind and tear them to pieces!”

Her Blue Emperor Crab Tribe, too, had lost many lower-order clanspeople in these past few years.

Chi Yan laughed hehehe, not minding these events too much.

Their Red Rock Crab Tribe lived at the bottom of the sea volcanoes and came ashore in groups on rare occasions, suffering few attacks.

It was said that they once encountered a Black-Scaled Flood Dragon, but it had almost been killed by the leading Red Rock Crab Elder.

Hearing about the other tribes’ misfortunes, he instead felt a bit of schadenfreude.

But now, with Zhu Qi dead, how would they break through the Array?

His joy in their misfortune also waned.

Zhu Xiang watched the scenes in the hall with a cold eye.

Suddenly.

”I have a way to break through the Big Formation of Mysterious Rock Island, but I have one condition. After the deed is done, you must help me in pursuing and killing the mastermind from Tianxuan Island!”

This condition was of no concern.

And the method he spoke of captured everyone’s attention.

For a moment, the four demon creatures stared at him intently, wanting to know what the method was.

Zhu Xiang stomped his foot, emitting a crisp sound.

This sound, transmitted through the Colorful Clam Shell, traveled faintly to the outside.

”Jin Hun, please open the door.”

Jin Hun’s expression shifted slightly, as he scrutinized Zhu Xiang carefully.

His mouth quivered slightly.

”I hope you’re not leading a wolf into the house.”

The next moment, the Light Curtain trembled, and a tall and upright figure came into view.

He was dressed in splendid clothes and had handsome features.

As soon as he entered, he clasped his fist in a salute.

”Feiyun Jian Gu Shaoshang, greets all the Friends!”

A Human Cultivator!
