Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2215: Chapter 813: Taking the Offensive, Yuan Tu Sword Spirit

”Indeed, a powerful Array Master can completely influence the direction of a war.”

”In comparison, my Fourth-Order Array Master skills fall far short of Tian Douzi’s.”

Luo Chen sighed like this.

He admitted the gap between himself and Tian Douzi, but did not belittle himself.

The other party specializes in the way of arrays, while he has only dabbled in it slightly, so it’s natural to have shortcomings.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed considerably after Tian Douzi finished speaking about the two matters.

The rest of the time, Lingtian City Lord allowed everyone to get to know each other, to facilitate cooperation in the upcoming operations.

At the very least, they should at least recognize each other’s faces!

The originally serious wartime meeting had turned into more of a regular gathering among Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

And in this environment, Luo Chen unsurprisingly became the focus of attention again.

One by one, Nascent Soul stage cultivators actively approached him for connections.

Even the Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, who had been standing with Lin Qingxuan and Old Ghost Mo Tian, walked towards Luo Chen despite the two’s frowning expressions.

”Friend Luo, did you receive the invitation letter I sent earlier?”

”Oh?” Luo Chen blinked, as if suddenly remembering, laughingly saying, ”I saw it, but I was preoccupied with patrol duties at the time, and the demon emperor’s attack delayed things.”

Master Li vaguely perceived Luo Chen’s evasiveness, but he was not discouraged and continued to converse with Luo Chen.

...

Time gradually passed.

By the evening, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the City Lord Mansion began to disperse.

Meanwhile, in Luo Chen’s cave mansion, a private meeting involving only five people was taking place.

The participants were all old acquaintances.

Jiuling Yuanjun, Ling Fengzi, Elder Fu, and True Master Xian He.

These four were all indebted to Luo Chen for his aid in pill refinement, frequently interacting with him during leisurely moments.

After the meeting at the City Lord Mansion concluded today, Luo Chen proactively invited them over for a gathering.

Watching the four engaged in lively conversation, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.

Having returned to the Eastern Wasteland for only a few years, he had built a vast network, primarily composed of previously unattainable Nascent Soul experts.

Now, they all revolved around him, standing by his side in both advance and retreat.

Moreover, there were still more people outside eager to break into this circle.

It must be said, the previous decision to promote himself through the Dao of Alchemy was absolutely correct!

”Friend Luo, I must thank you for the elixir you sent last time, which helped me cure the poison of the Lightless Beast,” True Master Xian He suddenly said.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”It was just a minor effort. The elixir I sent wasn’t entirely the right remedy, it was still your skillful self-care.”

Upon hearing this exchange, the other three also grew curious.

After True Master Xian He explained the story, the three couldn’t help but admire Luo Chen’s noble character.

However, they also gained a deeper appreciation for the danger involved in battling with the demon emperor.

”These demon emperor-level beings may not match us Human Clan Nascent Souls in technique, but each possesses a trump card innate demon technique. If we inadvertently fall victim to one, it can be quite troublesome.”

”Indeed, when I was besieged by three great demon emperors under the Bull Demon Commander, I prided myself on having formidable Qi power, comparable to a Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. Yet, I hadn’t anticipated that one of the demons had a bizarre technique for absorbing cultivators’ Qi power. If not for my abundant Qi power, which allowed me to forcibly carve out a bloody path, I might have perished there.”

”Jiuling Yuanjun, you’re so formidable, and you nearly suffered a loss; what are those of us supposed to do if we encounter such opponents?”

...

Contrary to the strong unity and resolute determination during the daytime meeting at the City Lord Mansion, Luo Chen’s private gathering was not too optimistic about the upcoming battle.

They all expressed apprehension about the various tactics the demon emperors had used.

Like the demon emperor Jiuling Yuanjun mentioned, there’s no record of it in the books, possibly a new variant emerging from the Million Mountains.

And that was merely one underling of the Bull Demon Commander.

Each of the Nine Great Commanders of the demon clan was formidable.

Currently known to everyone are Seven Rhinos, Huang Man, Bull Demon, Centipede, Ao Kuang... and the terrifying Qing Shuang Demon Emperor.

There wasn’t a single ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator who wanted to encounter them.

The only advantage was perhaps that they could defend the city without leaving Lingtian Pass, not exposing themselves to these Great Demon Emperors.

However, Ling Fengzi’s words cast a deep shadow over everyone’s hearts.

”Don’t be too optimistic. It may not be long before we have to fight outside the city.”

True Master Xian He said in astonishment, ”Surely not. With the demon clan’s current power, we’re struggling to hold on, where can we possibly mount an offensive?”

Ling Fengzi sighed, ”Do you know what my previous mission was?”

As everyone expressed their confusion, he said quietly, ”Lingtian City Lord gave me a complete map of the Eastern Wasteland Human Cultivation World, specifically marking out the Ba Dao, Bikong, and Fire Ridge Three Domains, instructing me to focus on scouting the distribution of demon clan forces. If it’s not to prepare for an offense, I can’t fathom what purpose it serves.”

True Master Xian He hesitated, ”Know yourself and your enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles?”

”When the enemy is at your gate, what’s the point of further reconnaissance?” Ling Fengzi laughed mockingly, ”Once their overwhelming force approaches, isn’t their strength clear? Besides, during the extra days I stayed out, I wasn’t just investigating these, I was also instructed to probe the march routes of other demon clan armies.”

True Master Xian He opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words.

Luo Chen, having experienced the first defense battle at Lingtian Pass, had some insights.

After contemplating for a moment, he slowly said, ”If we leave the demon clan’s main forces to gather, forming an encirclement with their vast numbers and cutting off support from the Five Domains of Lingtian and even the Sixteen Domains in the rear, Lingtian Pass will become an isolated bastion. At that time, even if it’s the greatest heroic city in the history of the Eastern Wasteland, it might not be defensible against the simultaneous onslaught of millions of demon beasts.”
