Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1293: Chapter 492: The Substance and Appearance of Luo Tian Sect

”Having accompanied you for a thousand miles, it’s time to part ways, my friends!”

Just outside the newly constructed defensive works of the Luo Tian Alliance, an old man with grey hair turned around, looking at the five departing Golden Core cultivators.

Before they could speak, he casually glanced at the nearby crude fortifications.

”If you want to keep this territory after the Ding Ding Howling Moon, you must seriously consider what Qu has mentioned!”

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the five men stiffened.

Luo Chen adjusted his mood and saluted with clasped hands.

”Thank you, Qu Dao You, for the advance notice; we will respond as soon as possible.”

”Hmm, as long as you are aware, I will take my leave now.”

”Safe travels, Qu Dao You!”

Led by Luo Chen, the five watched as Qu Xibai departed, each falling into silence.

Beneath the small city walls, the five Golden Core cultivators remained silent.

Luo Chen also felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He had anticipated this day, as Jueqing Fairy had specifically warned him, but he hadn’t expected it to come so swiftly!

It hadn’t even been a year yet!

Qu Xibai’s visit today was actually quite straightforward.

It was to invite the Luo Tian Alliance to participate in the Open War.

Some might wonder, hasn’t the Luo Tian Alliance always been involved in the Open War against the Xiao Yue Mountain Range?

Why the redundancy?

But this was different!

This time, the invitation targeted the high-level cultivators of the Luo Tian Alliance to join the Nine Sects Sword Hall and undertake missions on the most dangerous front line.

The so-called high-level cultivators here were at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but preferably Golden Core cultivators.

For the Luo Tian Alliance.

This batch of cultivators represented their top combat strength.

And the location for the mission was still on the perilous front line.

That’s why the five members of the alliance were caught in an eerie silence.

Everyone feared being the first to speak and then getting sent out.

Facing this strange atmosphere, someone eventually spoke up.

The young man, with hands behind his back, paced forward.

Looking beyond the alliance’s defensive works to the beautiful mountains and clear waters, he slowly said, ”Why act this way, gentlemen? This situation was inevitable sooner or later.”

”Ever since we took a shortcut and captured the Spirit Land, implementing the Moving Mountains Plan, we were bound to catch the attention of the scrutinizing eyes.”

Suddenly, Di Wuqi said, ”Dream Spring Cave, Yu Jiaolong?”

The other three were stunned, then showed signs of indignation.

To this, Luo Chen simply smiled.

”Maybe it’s her, maybe it’s not. What difference does it make?”

”You don’t think that the other Golden Core Great Sects outside of Dream Spring Cave can’t see us sending people to the front line to collect resources, then dealing and profiting from their resale?”

”Our Luo Tian Sect’s Demon Beast business, the Cen Family’s medicinal ingredient trade...”

”Heh, others struggle and fight, just for a foothold. We sit comfortably in the rear enjoying the spoils. The Luo Tian Alliance isn’t a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect or a robust, established Golden Core Great Sect. Bound by the alliance treaty, it’s inappropriate for them to openly make a move, but that doesn’t mean they will tolerate this situation.”

”A bit of targeting is to be expected.”

”Besides, they’re only asking us to send people now, not to send us to die or to cede our territory.”

Such words poured eloquently from Luo Chen’s mouth.

Logical and well-organized.

Everyone also gradually understood the reasoning.

But understanding is one thing, accepting it is another.

”Joining the Nine Sects Sword Hall is no different from courting death! If our alliance’s Golden Core cultivators suffer heavy casualties, reducing our number below three, losing our Great Sect status without this hard-won blessed land...?”

This was still Di Wuqi speaking.

He was also the only one in the alliance who could stand on equal footing with Luo Chen.

Especially after the blessed land had been conquered, the binding power of that treaty was almost negligible.

The three families had already started doing their own things.

The reason they still maintained the alliance identity was merely for the outward name of being a Golden Core Great Sect.

”In my view, this proposal is a conspiracy targeting our Luo Tian Alliance!” Di Wuqi declared emphatically.

To this, Luo Chen chuckled in resignation.

”This is no different from an open plot.”

”After all, this territory is nominally ours now. But before the New Realm is initially settled, the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect will have to discuss and award it based on merits.”

”If we don’t participate in the Nine Sects Sword Hall, it means giving up this Third Order Spirit Vein now.”

”Do you... have the heart to let it go?”

Instantly.

Expressions of resolve appeared on all four faces.

Of course, they couldn’t bear to!

Among those present, some were rogue cultivators, others were from small families, none was from an official Sect.

After reaching Core Formation, none had the privilege of a free Third Order Spirit Vein to themselves.

”So, isn’t the answer quite apparent?”

Luo Chen turned around, spreading his hands.

”We definitely need to send someone to the Nine Sects Sword Hall.”

”And thanks to Qu Xibai’s early notice, we have ample time to prepare and decide who to send.”

”So, who is willing to volunteer and fight for the alliance?”

Faced with Luo Chen’s friendly gaze, the three stepped back in unison.

What a joke, the alliance isn’t their own family.

No one has such dedication.

Only Fu Jiusheng was left standing in the same spot, now conspicuously isolated.

Fu Jiusheng felt awkward; he didn’t want to leave Luo Chen standing alone, looking glaringly obvious.
