Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

109: Two major cults in Annam!Baili Xi heard this and knew that Chen Changsheng’s heart had wavered, so he followed him into the living room.

After entering the living room, Chen Changsheng poured a cup of tea for Baili Xi and gestured for him to tell the story of the Gu God Cult.

Baili Xi took a sip of tea and then spoke indifferently:

”Speaking of the Gu God Cult, it starts from a hundred years ago...”

”A hundred years ago, when our Great Xuan Dynasty was first established, the territory of the Nine Prefectures was still somewhat turbulent. The two largest evil cults here in Annan Prefecture were the Gu God Cult and the Fire Worshipping Cult!”

”The Fire Worshipping Cult was originally a force of the Sacred Fire Sect from outside the Great Xuan Dynasty. It was suppressed and eliminated by General Guo leading his army, and the Sacred Fire Sect was also destroyed by the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion. Even if there are a few stray cats left today, they won’t amount to anything.”

”As for the Gu God Cult, their strength was greatly diminished under General Guo’s iron cavalry, and the remnants fled into Ailao Mountain. Who would have thought they would actually take root there, occasionally descending the mountain to plague Annan Prefecture? They are simply a thorn in our side!”

”Ailao Mountain is treacherous, making it difficult for a large army to campaign there. Moreover, the Gu God Cult’s strength is barely a tenth of what it was. So over the years, as long as the Gu God Cult doesn’t cause major trouble, the imperial court has ignored them, only sending Immortal Officials to track them down!”

After hearing what Baili Xi said, Chen Changsheng was secretly vigilant. Although only remnants of the Gu God Cult remained, the fact that they could last for a hundred years meant they certainly wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

”So, dealing with the Gu God Cult in Longwei County is your business, Lord Baili!”

Chen Changsheng drank a cup of tea and said unhurriedly.

”Oh, that’s exactly it. But the Head of the Chen Family also has a grudge against the Gu God Cult. Why not lend me a hand to wipe out the Gu God Cultists in Longwei County and restore peace to the county?”

Chen Changsheng knew in his heart that given the Gu God Cult’s style, they would definitely target the Chen family. The Zhao Manor of Zhao Song’s family was a previous example.

”Since Lord Baili has invited us, our Chen family will naturally lend you a hand!”

Chen Changsheng agreed with a smile. Baili Xi was delighted, but in the next moment, Chen Changsheng began to set conditions again.

”But my son is only at the Third Layer of Qi Refining, so he will only deal with cultists at the Early Qi Refining Stage. I wonder if Lord Baili agrees?”

Baili Xi also knew that Chen Changsheng was making a final concession. He couldn’t expect someone to fight above their level. Furthermore, after all these years, Baili Xi had broken through to Mid-stage Qi Refining and believed he could handle it, so he immediately agreed.

”Naturally. I would never harm members of the Chen family by making them make pointless sacrifices!”

Chen Changsheng and Baili Xi reached an agreement, and the two began to chat happily. Although Baili Xi did not come from a great clan, he had struggled in the cultivation world for many years and was very knowledgeable.

Chen Changsheng gained a concept of the current cultivation world from him.

The Great Xuan Dynasty is situated on the coast of the East Sea, while outside are the affairs of the Sects. The most famous Sects are known as the Seven Sects of the East Sea, and the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion is one of the best among them.

No wonder Baili Xi always wanted to borrow Chen Chuanjie’s influence; the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion was simply too powerful.

Half an hour later, having finished the pleasantries, Baili Xi left the Chen family’s Courtyard House contentedly.

Chen Changsheng immediately called for Chen Chuanwu.

”Chuanwu, go to the Prefecture City Immortal Market again and exchange the remaining sixty thousand plus Spirit Crystals for the kind of protective Talismans Meng Xikun had. Our family is about to face a formidable enemy!”

Chen Changsheng spoke seriously to Chuanwu, then told him about the Gu God Cult’s impending revenge.

”Father, I understand. I’ll go and return quickly!”

Chen Chuanwu nodded with a solemn expression, immediately mounted his horse, and set off with the Spirit Crystals!

”Sigh, my Chen family should have developed quietly, but unfortunately, these are turbulent times. I hope we can pull through!”

Chen Changsheng watched Chuanwu’s departing back and sighed deeply. Their Chen family had only just entered the Qi Refining Realm and was truly not suited for conflict. Unfortunately, the world would not give the Chen family time to develop.

That night, Chen Chuanwu returned, bringing back six Talismans.

They were three golden light talismans and three Divine Travel Talismans; as for the Spirit Crystals, not a single one was left!

”Chuanwu, you three brothers each take two. These are your life-saving measures; do not use them lightly unless it’s a critical moment!”

Chen Changsheng instructed Chuanwu, who then frowned and looked at Chen Changsheng with concern, asking:

”Father, we’ve all taken them, but what about you?”

Chen Changsheng laughed and patted Chuanwu’s shoulder, saying:

”There was once a great man who led his army to victory in a hundred battles yet never carried a weapon. When asked why, he said that if even he had to go to the battlefield, his army would likely already be dead!”

”I have three sons as brave as dragons and tigers. If it comes to me having to act, then I suppose our Chen family would already be at a moment of life or death!”

Hearing his father’s words, Chen Chuanwu nodded heavily and said to Chen Changsheng:

”Don’t worry, Father. As long as we are alive, no one can harm you!”

”Haha, go on then. Inform Chuanjie and Chuanwen so they can be prepared as well!”

Chen Changsheng laughed and let Chuanwu go to make arrangements. He himself sat on a stone bench, petting Howling Heaven, while thinking about Chuanjie’s future.

He already knew of the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion’s power from Baili Xi. Now that Chuanjie had a chance to join them, should he let Chuanjie leave the Great Xuan Dynasty?

This is a major matter, and he must hear Chuanjie’s opinion. Once Chuanjie finishes his cultivation, he will ask him properly!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another month had gone by. Baili Xi was still searching for traces of the Gu God Cult, and the Chen family remained on guard against an attack!

But during this month, the Gu God Cult did not appear. Just as Chen Changsheng thought the Gu God Cult might have left Longwei County...

Two old men dressed in green clothing had quietly made their way to the bottom of War Horse Slope!

”The little brat who killed Old Six is here? Isn’t this just a rural household?”

One of the old men asked while stroking his short beard, while the other bald Elder said with a chuckle:

”Although Old Six’s strength was lacking, he was still one of the six great Elders of our Gu God Cult! Fourth Brother, do not underestimate him!”

The short-bearded old man snorted and cursed in a low voice, ”That bastard Old Six had no real skill, and even in death, he ruined our Gu God Cult’s reputation and boosted that brat’s fame!”

”Little Sword Immortal... Heh, quite a reputation. Watch as I tear him apart!”

The bald Elder secretly shook his head. Among the four Elders of their Gu God Cult, Fourth Brother had the worst and most violent temper. He hoped that after killing this family, Fourth Brother could vent the frustration in his chest!

”Fourth Brother, it’s a dark and windy night, the perfect time to strike. Let’s send this family down to accompany Old Nine now!”

The bald Elder chuckled, then rose and walked quietly toward the Courtyard House, with the Fourth Elder following behind with a murderous look in his eyes.

The two Elders of the Gu God Cult headed straight for the Chen family, but Chen Changsheng had no idea that a crisis was quietly descending!
