Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 110: Chapter 89: Safely Crossing the Tribulation, Gaining a Fifth-Grade Opportunity_2

To be honest, their strength has already reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm.

If they want to advance further, the only path is to embark on the road of cultivation.

It can be said that these five grandmasters are all here for this purpose.

Everything else is irrelevant in their eyes.

”Don’t worry, I’ve been watching the movements of the three great families for a long time. There’s no way I’m letting them escape Yunze City.”

”However, the three great families have had the Immortal Token for so long; they might have already nurtured cultivators. Offending them could lead to endless troubles.”

”Heh, what’s there to fear? One lives no more than a hundred years. As long as we slay them and seize the Immortal Token, gaining the Immortal’s legacy, we can go anywhere in this vast world.”

”Exactly, even if there are cultivators backing the three great families, they likely left the mortal world long ago. By the time they learn of this, we would have long gone.”

”That’s right, today, none of the people from the three great families should dream of escaping.”

”To become a cultivator, some sacrifices are worth it.”

The five grandmasters said with murderous intent.

In their quest to obtain the Immortal’s legacy, they abandoned everything.

They didn’t care about the upcoming consequences.

Even if it implicated their families in the future, so what? They might be dead by then.

”I’d rather wrong the world than let the world wrong me.”

...

On the other hand, in the Li Family mansion, the basement.

Jiang Fan was originally in a state of deep sleep with his wife Su Weiwei when suddenly, there came a rumbling sound, accompanied by the clash of swords, the shouts of battle, overwhelmingly noisy.

Even though they were in the basement, they could hear it clearly.

”What’s going on? Why is it so noisy?”

Su Weiwei opened her eyes in a daze, not knowing what had happened.

She lazily stretched out her body, revealing her stunning figure, captivating in every way.

”I’m afraid the Red Eyebrow Army has already broken in.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes as he listened to the sounds coming from the ground.

Having advanced to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, his five senses grew increasingly powerful, allowing him to hear sounds from hundreds of meters away and distinguish different voices.

Thus, after a brief listen, he knew what was happening.

A fierce battle was raging outside.

The government troops and the noble descendants were locked in a deadly struggle with the Red Eyebrow Army.

Ordinary people could surrender to the Red Eyebrow Army, but they couldn’t.

If they surrendered, they’d be prisoners, losing all their assets.

”Broken in? How could it be so fast?”

Su Weiwei was stunned.

She originally thought that this war would last at least one or two months, maybe even longer.

After all, attacking a fortified city like Yunze City isn’t as simple as imagined.

Who could have thought that in just a few days, Yunze City would be breached?

”Not sure.”

”But for us, it’s a good thing.”

”After all, this way, the war can end quickly, and peace can be restored.”

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

Anyway, he’s just an outsider. It doesn’t matter much to him who wins.

To be honest, he was more interested in gradually cultivating, breaking through to become an Innate Martial Artist, nurturing his own Spirit Root.

And then set foot on the path of cultivation.

”That’s true.”

Su Weiwei nodded, agreeing with his point. It’s just two factions vying for power anyway.

As ordinary people, what they want most is for peace to be restored quickly, without more war.

If the Red Eyebrow Army could swiftly seize the world and restore peace, that would be better.

...

Several more days passed.

The internal battles in Yunze City had gradually subsided.

The Red Eyebrow Army completely occupied the city, becoming the new masters of Yunze City.

Meanwhile, order in Yunze City was restored once again.

Under the leadership of Chen Yaochuan, Yunze City did not experience any massacres.

So even though the residents were terrified of the Red Eyebrow Army, they gradually accepted their rule.

Compared to the greedy and incompetent government, the current Red Eyebrow Army was slightly better.

”It’s over, the war has finally ended.”

”Heh, it’s not that simple; it’s just the beginning.”

”Exactly, do you think the court will just sit by while the Red Eyebrow Army occupies Yunze Prefecture?”

”That’s true. Once the court learns of this, they’ll certainly dispatch another army. Whether the Red Eyebrow Army can withstand them is still uncertain.”

”But regardless, those noble families in Yunze City suffered terribly, being searched and exterminated by the Red Eyebrow Army. Even those which existed for hundreds of years couldn’t avoid being wiped out.”

”The most miserable was the Lu Family; they were specifically targeted by the Red Eyebrow Army during the three great families’ breakout. Many family elders and elites died, even the clan leader Lu Kai was killed on the spot.”

”No way, isn’t Lu Kai a Martial Arts Grandmaster? He died too?”

”Heh, so what if he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster? The Red Eyebrow Army has grandmasters too. Under the assault of many grandmasters, Lu Kai couldn’t hold on and was inevitably defeated.”

”However, despite this, some elites of the other two great families managed to escape; they weren’t completely annihilated.”

”That’s quite normal; after all, these noble descendants are martial artists. If they were all fearless, the damage to the Red Eyebrow Army would be severe. So to avoid heavy casualties, the Red Eyebrow Army didn’t intend to fight to the last with them and left them a way out.”

”But either way, the Lu Family, Mu Family, and Xie Family have likely vanished from Yunze City. It’s almost impossible for them to return anytime soon.”

”That’s beneficial for us too. None of those noble families were good. Our tough lives were all thanks to those noble families.”

The crowd discussed fervently.

They felt the oppressive mountain over their heads had finally vanished, giving them some mental relief.

Over the years, they were oppressed by the noble families, forced into slavery with no power to resist.

Now, those oppressors have finally disappeared.

Of course, this only brought them a moment of relief.

No one knows for sure what the days ahead will bring.

...

Meanwhile, in the Li Family mansion, the basement.

”Is the war truly over? Things seem better now.”

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Fan went out to gather some information and found that Yunze City had returned to its usual calm.

Having stayed hidden in the basement, he survived the calamity, avoiding numerous dangers.

If he had been outside, who knows what would have happened amidst the battle between the Red Eyebrow Army and the government.

Hiding in this secretive place proved to be a wise decision.

But he hasn’t decided what to do next.

Should he continue living hidden in Yunze City, or flee to another place away from the chaos?

Boom~~

Just then, a message suddenly surged from the depths of his consciousness: ”At the end of the dynasty, amidst the uprising, you and your wife Su Weiwei hid, safely passing through and avoiding calamity. You’ve gained a thousand Luck Points and a Fifth-Grade Opportunity.”

What?!

Receiving this message, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, his heart stirred with great waves.

He never expected that merely hiding in the basement could earn him so many Luck Points.

More importantly, he gained a Fifth-Grade Opportunity.

Although he had obtained opportunities before, he had never reached the fifth-grade level.

Previously, he only received seventh-grade opportunities.

That already brought him numerous benefits.

Now, a fifth-grade opportunity appeared. Once obtained, it’s unimaginable what treasures he could acquire.

”To gain so much luck.”

”It means this calamity was immense, with many noble families perishing.”

”Their destiny was devoured by my Life Chart.”

”Thus, I gained such vast luck.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes shone brightly, feeling highly excited.

This is what’s called a whale fall, and all things thrive.

Though these noble families were destroyed, their declining destinies were captured by his Life Chart, becoming sustenance, helping him grow rapidly.

Indeed, amidst chaos, while dangers are immense, the benefits upon survival are abundant.
