Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1534: Chapter 569: Dock Mix-up, The So-Called Holy Land_2

His lips spoke of modest gains, but his heart was already bursting with joy.

With a bit more time to consolidate, he could transform these achievements into tangible power.

In doing so, he would not have wasted the efforts of the past July!

Through the window, he saw a thousand sails lowered, a hundred boats converging.

The man stretched lazily.

”Let’s go, it’s time to head to Coldlight Island and on to Leng City.”

With a casual flick, he cast the Cleaning Technique to remove all traces and presence related to himself from the cabin, and the man in black wrapped the Soul-Refining Flag in white cloth, slung it on his back, and stepped out of the cabin nonchalantly.

Tian Xuan followed behind him, with eyes full of admiration, matching his pace step by step.

...

His footsteps halted on the deck.

Luo Chen and Tian Xuan tailed behind the crowd, watching the scene at the dock in silence.

It’s Wu Qi!

He brought a group of people and was intentionally waiting at the dock to welcome someone.

No one knew where he got the news, but it was such a coincidence that they stopped the Bai family’s merchant vessel.

However, unfortunately, the pomp and circumstance prepared did not welcome the intended guest!

Initially, He Yuan did not notice anything unusual.

Surprised at first, upon seeing Blood Nightmare Mo Luo’s capable lieutenant Wu Qi come to greet a party, he assumed that the other party had received news of his arrival.

After all, he had not restrained his spirit pressure much along the way.

Anyone with a little initiative could figure out his whereabouts.

That’s how he notified Blood Nightmare Mo Luo that a direct descendent of the Yuan Mo Sect Yuan Mo Lineage had arrived!

Welcoming him was only to be expected.

He even felt that the reception was less grand than it should be.

Just three Golden Core Cultivators and over a dozen Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, such a scene was quite modest.

Back when the Yuan Mo Sect still existed, each of the three major lineages’ True Disciples commanded a host of followers, and when they traveled, they often could mobilize many peers of equal order, with prized ones even having a side lineage True Master as a Protector by their side.

He Yuan consoled himself, ”Times have changed, and one must adapt. Once the Demon Sect is restored in the future, the so-called prestige and honor will be within easy reach.”

However!

When his eyes met Wu Qi’s uncertain glances and the unrestrained scanning of Divine Consciousness across his body, he finally sensed something was awry!

The two Golden Core Cultivators standing beside Wu Qi had never seen the real master’s true face.

They only knew they were to welcome an extremely powerful Pill Refiner today. Due to their good relationship with Wu Qi, they had this chance to get acquainted ahead of time and become familiar with him. This would make it easier for them to request elixirs in the future.

Seeing the person arrive with a strong presence and eyes filled with unrestrained pride, they truly believed they had met the main guest.

Though it was strange that Wu Qi did not step forward, they couldn’t wait and took the opportunity to speak first.

”Surely this must be Demon King Qingyang!”

”We’ve heard a lot about you, a long time no see!”

Just as they spoke, Wu Qi’s expression changed slightly, sensing something was not right.

He quickly said, ”Two Friends, don’t...”

But it was already too late.

He Yuan, surrounded and escorted by the crowd, turned red with anger and his spirit pressure burst out, ”What Demon King Qingyang! I am the true descendent He Yuanzi from the Yuan Mo Lineage. Summon Blood Nightmare Mo Luo to meet me!”

His immense Golden Core spirit pressure pushed out directly, forcing the two approaching Golden Core Ascendant Masters to retreat in embarrassment.

The bystanders were also taken aback and shocked.

They were surprised by the sudden confrontation, and shocked by the fact that the person directly summoned Blood Nightmare True Master, with a commanding tone.

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo was the leader of the Mo Luo Sect!

How could a Nascent Soul True Master be called out like this without due respect?

If word of this got out, how would their Mo Luo Sect stand firmly in the North Sea Cultivation World?

Before anyone else could speak out, Wu Qi’s pupils contracted.

He saw the strong and profound black mana fluctuations under He Yuan’s overwhelming spirit pressure.

It was Demonic Qi!

Pure Demonic Qi!

Connecting the dots with the information he had received before, he suddenly came to a realization.

He pushed aside his two friends and walked forward against He Yuan’s spirit pressure.

His lips moved silently as he walked, without making a sound.

The furious He Yuan, upon hearing Wu Qi’s silent message, raised his eyebrows.

He snorted coldly.

”I have urgent matters now, and I will not argue with you. But remember this offense, I will not forget it.”

”Hmph!”

After a heavy snort of displeasure, he marched forward.

Wu Qi who was in his path quickly stepped aside, signaling the others to follow He Yuan closely.

The two pale-faced Golden Core Cultivators gathered around, wanting to understand the situation.

Wu Qi shook his head, signaling them to follow.

Before leaving, Wu Qi’s eyes lingered on the Bai family’s merchant ship with a hint of regret, but he did not find the figure he hoped to see.

...

With that bit of farce on board the Bai family’s merchant ship, the previously lively atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

After the involved parties left, the whispering discussions resumed, buzzing like a swarm of mosquitoes.

”Initially, we thought Master He Yuan was warmly welcomed by the Mo Luo Sect, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.”

”Who is this Demon King Qingyang, who prompted Wu Shen Island’s Wu Qi to personally welcome him? I’ve never heard of such a person before.”

”The name does ring a bell; I seem to have heard it somewhere.”

”Regardless, Master He Yuan has clashed with the Golden Core Cultivators within the Mo Luo Sect before even fully joining. I’m afraid the days for Friend Chen and the others following him won’t be peaceful!”

”I disagree. Master He Yuan is powerful; merely revealing his cultivation level was enough to overpower two of his equals. In his speech, he addressed the Nascent Soul True Master, Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, with no courtesy, so he must be an extremely revered figure. It seems that Friend Chen and his group might just have latched onto a formidable ally!”
