Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1355: Chapter 510: Are You Luo Chen?_2

Luo Chen ceased his futile actions, his face revealing a helpless, bitter smile.

He thought of even more.

Cultivators established Immortal City, allocated shops, and prematurely divided the spoils of the yet-to-be-conquered Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

Everything, from the high-level Nascent Soul Cultivators to the millions of Lower Order Cultivators, deep down in their hearts, didn’t take this Open War seriously.

What everyone considered was not whether they could win, but how to gain the most with the least loss.

After all, with the Nine Great Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, Eighteen Golden Core Major Sects, plus the Rogue Cultivators, there were a colossal million cultivators!

With such a lineup, who would think they could lose when attacking a region?

But now... it could only be said that overconfidence led to downfall.

”Actually, the oddities had been apparent for quite some time. Without the help of the other four True Masters, just the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao alone could have reversed the battle. His talent and aptitude are in no way inferior to our Human Clan’s prodigies.”

”But that’s not necessarily true. We really did conquer the Xiao Yue Mountain Range. The problem lies in our greed and rash advancement, trying to swallow Great Snow Mountain in one go.”

”Heh heh...”

Someone let out a mocking laugh.

Annoyed, the person beside him asked, ”Sloppy Cultivator, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”

The Sloppy Cultivator leaned against the wall, his hands cushioning the back of his head.

He sneered, ”Greed and rash advancement? You Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect Cultivators surely know more of the inside story than us! I’ve heard that at the very beginning of Moon-Breaking Immortal City’s construction, the three fairies of the Hundred Flowers Palace were already strategizing and preparing to attack Great Snow Mountain.”

At those words, everyone’s gaze turned to the three Female Cultivators in the corner.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy ceased her pointless actions and opened her eyes, her lips parting slightly: ”We were prepared, and clearly, the Demon Clan was too, otherwise how could such a coincidence occur with a top-tier Demon Clan expert appearing at White Bone Dao Palace? In the end, it’s nothing more than the victor being the king and the defeated being the bandit!”

Indeed, it’s just about the victor being the king and the defeated being the bandit!

Had not that woman named Qing Shuang appeared, Great Snow Mountain would now be in their grasp.

They would not be venting their useless frustrations in this dark and gloomy dungeon, but rather, they would be celebrating in the White Bone Dao Palace, toasting with each other and discussing how to divide the resources and Spirit Land of Great Snow Mountain.

Sad thoughts and feelings of despair spread from there.

Luo Chen was among them.

Perhaps the only thing that made him a little less desperate was the fact that it wasn’t just himself who had been caught.

Do not fear the lack of numbers, but the uneven distribution; that’s just the way it is.

Misfortune shared by all, even the most desperate of emotions, could be alleviated.

After all, if they were to die, they would die together.

Besides, there were also several Late Golden Core Stage Great Cultivators among them, which made the Lower Order Cultivators feel a bit more balanced psychologically.

Of course, that was just sophistry.

Someone posed a question.

”To that individual, we are but glowing moss, easily extinguished with a flick of a finger. Why didn’t they kill us, but instead go to great lengths to imprison us here?”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone fell silent.

In fact, this doubt had been hiding in everyone’s hearts from the start.

But nobody dared to face it directly.

After all, who wants to die?

Most of them are Nascent Soul hopefuls, who would not want to die inexplicably at the hands of another, without even a chance to fight back.

No one answered; each had their own speculations.

But this question would ultimately be answered for them.

...

Half a month later.

In the eerie dungeon, crisp footsteps echoed.

Everyone opened their eyes, looking in the direction the footsteps came from.

The darkness gradually dissipated.

A plump and beautiful woman, holding a cyan lamp, arrived before the crowd.

On seeing the newcomer, everyone’s eyes widened, showing disbelief.

”He Qingzi senior, why are you...”

”Shut up!”

He Qingzi’s face flashed with severity, silencing the speaker.

The crowd became as still as cicadas in winter, not daring to offend her.

Although they did not understand why she was alive and able to move freely in that individual’s territory, they were more concerned about her purpose in coming.

The woman didn’t say anything; she merely took out a feather with green and white stripes and stuck it on the front of the cave mansion where Hao Ranzi was.

”Come out!”

Hao Ranzi pursed his lips, glanced back at everyone, and then followed He Qingzi, taking heavy steps towards the exit.

As the cyan lamp receded, the light vanished again, and the dungeon returned to darkness.

With Hao Ranzi’s departure, everyone felt as though a massive stone had been placed upon their hearts.

They didn’t know what Hao Ranzi would face next.

Nor did they know if, after Hao Ranzi, it would be their turn.

An hour later.

The silence was broken.

Footsteps were heard once more.

The crowd looked towards the sound.

In the darkness, the woman held an unconscious person in one hand and a cyan lamp in the other.

At the original cell.

Clang!

Thump!

Without a word, He Qingzi locked up the person and immediately departed.

After her departure, the tension that had been at its limit finally eased.

Everyone looked towards the unconscious individual.

”Hao Ranzi!”

”Friend, wake up!”

”What happened, tell us quickly?”

There was no response. Hao Ranzi lay in the black prison like a dead man.

But everyone knew he was not dead—the signs of life were still radiating from him.
