Chapter 415

In the third-tier cave dwelling.

Luo Chen browsed through all the intelligence gathered in the last few days.

In his heart, he gradually had a clearer and more comprehensive concept of the battle where the Luoyun Sect attacked the Yan Alliance.

That battle, although it only lasted one day, was far more tragic than the civil war between the two major sects.

Of course, this tragedy is only directed at the Yan Alliance side.

Because the Luoyun Sect's preparation was truly too sufficient.

Five hundred Foundation Establishment true cultivators, controlling thousands of puppets, and they were almost all the kind of long-range bombardment puppets that had appeared on the Leishan battlefield.

The difficulty of controlling them is not high; it only requires investing enough spirit stones.

Under round after round of bombardment, they plowed the Yan Alliance several times, almost like plowing a field.

And the foundation that the Yan Alliance suddenly revealed to the world—a total of fourteen Golden Core True Persons—was completely insufficient under the ten Golden Cores of the Luoyun Sect.

Because those ten Golden Cores of the Luoyun Sect, although they seemed to be only ten, in reality, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to treat them as twenty Golden Cores.

They are all people with powerful spiritual senses!

In addition to conventional means, each of them also controlled third-tier puppets comparable to Golden Core cultivators, forming a situation of many against few.

Moreover, in terms of top-tier late Golden Core combat power, the Luoyun Sect side also formed absolute suppression.

Luoyun Sect's Cheng Yan, ninth level of Golden Core!

The other party is also the senior brother of that True Person Han Zhan of the Luoyun Sect, and his means are inherently extremely extraordinary.

In that battle, he even invited out a puppet refined by True Person Han Zhan over these years, with strength nearly comparable to a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator.

Under such an attack.

The Yan Alliance leader, who was rumored to have extremely strong strength, was almost killed instantly.

And the hasty Yan Alliance cultivators were completely defeated, with no sign of resistance.

Fourteen Golden Core True Persons were slaughtered on the spot.

In the subsequent battles, it is rumored that less than one in ten survived, with only one or two surviving.

As for the lower-tier Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples, they were even more miserable under the artillery fire.

It is precisely because of this.

Clearly, the Green Elixir Valley and the Yan Alliance were both attacked by major sect cultivators.

The final result, however, was that the Green Elixir Valley was broken, but the Yan Alliance was crowned with the term "slaughtered."

If it weren't for True Person Yaoguang of the Sword Sect cutting off the Green Elixir Valley's Yuanhua Mountain with one sword to force the Luoyun Sect to retreat, I'm afraid the Yan Alliance would have been removed from the name on the spot.

But even so!

After this battle, the Yan Alliance instantly fell to the bottom.

At its peak, there were five Golden Cores on the surface and thirteen Golden Cores in secret.

Now, only a few big cats and small kittens remain.

If it weren't for the fact that the battle erupted suddenly and one Golden Core True Person happened to be outside and survived.

I'm afraid the Yan Alliance would have already been removed from the major sect list and reduced to an ordinary first-class sect.

"Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that the Golden Core True Person who was outside and didn't participate in the defense of the sect happened to be Qin Tairan, who attacked our Luo Tian Society," Sima Huiniang said.

Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer.

"Coincidence? I don't think so."

Sima Huiniang was confused.

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, "He was chased by the Peerless Fairy and Elder Fei Ming back then, and it took him a great deal of effort to escape."

"But this person is indeed very strong; under the siege of two major True Persons who were also at the fourth level of Golden Core, he still didn't suffer any injuries."

"The price paid was that the Yan Yang True Sha he had nurtured for many years was exhausted. The reason he was outside when the battle broke out was likely because he was collecting Yan Yang True Sha."

Hearing this, Sima Huiniang suddenly realized.

In fact, this news was also mentioned casually by Fei Ming when he was chatting with Luo Chen before.

Yan Alliance cultivators are treasure-rich, essence-fire-refined, and good at using Sha.

Back then, Qin Tairan attacked the Peerless Fairy with his natal magic treasure, the Taihuang Furnace; the magic treasure was trapped, and it was by relying on the Yan Yang True Sha in the Taihuang Furnace that he recalled it.

This is one of his major killing moves.

The killing move was broken because the Sha energy was exhausted, so naturally, he had to make up for it.

This instead allowed him to luckily escape a disaster!

However, luck?

Crack!

Luo Chen crushed the jade pendant in his hand, a ferocious smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, one's own grudge must be avenged by oneself!"

Seeing this scene, Sima Huiniang's heart jumped.

She asked uneasily: "Society Master, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Luo Chen's ferocious smile gradually expanded, "Of course, it's to deal with that Qin Tairan!"

"But!"

Sima Huiniang's expression changed instantly, and she blurted out, "That is a Golden Core major sect!"

Luo Chen gave a hum.

The current Yan Alliance has the name of a major sect, but not the reality of one.

Nominally, there are three Golden Core True Persons; apart from Qin Tairan, who is in good condition, the other two are survivors of the great war, and their condition cannot be much better.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment true cultivators need months or years to recover from injuries.

Let alone Golden Core True Persons?

And involving low-tier cultivators, I imagine it won't be much better.

Seeing Luo Chen's dismissive look, Sima Huiniang said with great worry:

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

"No matter how much the Yan Alliance has suffered, a centipede dies but doesn't stiffen; they only need to recall the disciples and sect members who are outside, and they still have the foundation of a major sect."

"Other places still have Yan Alliance vassals remaining, which is also a huge force."

"This kind of strength is simply not something our Luo Tian Society can compare to at the moment."

"Society Master, you must think twice before acting!"

After hearing these words.

The ferocious smile on Luo Chen's face gradually dissipated.

But!

After some contemplation, he still said decisively: "This matter must be carried out!"

Seeing that Sima Huiniang still didn't agree and was even prepared to risk angering him to continue persuading, he raised his hand to interrupt her.

"It's not that I'm impulsive."

"But the opportunity is right in front of us; if heaven gives it and you don't take it, you will surely suffer the consequences!"

Sima Huiniang was still somewhat unwilling, "Society Master, I know you are very powerful, whether it's same-tier combat or cross-tier combat, you have almost no defeats. Why not wait until you form the Golden Core before doing this? By then, the chances of winning should be greater, right!"

"Form the Golden Core?" Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, "Ten years? Fifty years? A hundred years? Or even longer?"

He didn't mention failure, assuming success in forming the Golden Core.

Thinking long-term with this as a premise.

Sima Huiniang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, as long as there is time, everything can be changed. By then, you will form the Golden Core, and I will be able to develop and grow the Luo Tian Society, providing you with enough help."

To this, Luo Chen shook his head slowly.

"It's too long!"

"In such a long time, there are too many variables!"

Plans are never as fast as changes.

Especially in this great cultivation world where great power belongs to oneself, perhaps because of a single thought from a high-tier cultivator, the originally peaceful situation will be instantly broken.

Who among the cultivators who lived in Dahefang for over a hundred years would have thought that the bustling inner city would one day become a ghost city without any life?

In the relatively peaceful Yuding Region for three hundred years, who would have thought that because a Golden Core True Person was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, a civil war that lasted for more than twenty years would be ignited?

Because of the appearance of the Soul Transformation ruins, the civil war of the major sects had already subsided, and there was a trend of ceasefire.

But who could have thought that the Luoyun Sect and the Sword Sect would suddenly rise up and carry out the act of destroying major sects?

Are these changes natural disasters?

No!

They are all man-made disasters!

Because of the ideas of high-tier cultivators, countless people have gone through fire and water for them, and countless people have fallen into them.

Compared to the Luo Tian Society, the Yan Alliance that is still alive is that "high-tier cultivator"!

"The Yan Alliance is weak now; it is a heaven-sent opportunity to beat a drowning dog."

"If we wait for them to catch their breath, they will still be a Golden Core major sect that we need to look up to, and we won't dare to have even the slightest thought."

"Even, in the current situation where wolves are surrounding us, who knows if the Yan Alliance will do something to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and deter others!"

"And our Luo Tian Society is a very good chicken!"

Sima Huiniang's face changed slightly, "How could that be?"

"Why not? We already have a grudge with the Yan Alliance, and we have made them lose face twice in a row; we are the perfect target to establish prestige," Luo Chen said.

"But they have already taken action once."

"If there is a first time, there must be a second time; even without the Luoyun Sect matter, the Yan Alliance still views our Luo Tian Society as a thorn in their side. Why do you think I let go of the Luo Tian Society and focused on seclusion?"

Luo Chen brushed the jade powder off the table and hummed: "Wasn't it to gain as much strength as possible, so as not to have to beg others when the time comes. Who knows if the next attack will be the Yan Alliance cultivators coming in person!"

Sima Huiniang was startled.

It seemed as if she recalled the initial events; when the Battle of Luo Tian erupted, the sense of powerlessness brought about by personal weakness was indeed despairing.

However, she was still somewhat hesitant.

"Will the Yan Alliance cultivators take action in person?"

Luo Chen curled his lips, "Two major Nascent Soul sects, the Luoyun Sect and the Yuding Sword Sect, didn't care about their reputation and personally took action against lower-tier sects. Some rules have already been broken; would the Yan Alliance, driven to desperation, not imitate them?"

"Moreover! They are not just driven to desperation now, but are already on the verge of life and death."

"Even without me, there will be others eyeing the centipede that hasn't stiffened yet!"

"And what I want to do is to ignite the restless flames in the hearts of others!"

The long dialogue continued in the cave dwelling.

It seemed like Luo Chen was comforting Sima Huiniang and answering her questions.

But isn't it also Luo Chen sorting out the pros and cons, and persuading himself time and time again?

After all!

In the cultivation world, which Foundation Establishment true cultivator dares to covet a Golden Core sect?

And a sect that still has two or three Golden Cores and maintains the name of a major sect!

This is not about strength, but requires immense courage and confidence.

Sima Huiniang looked at Luo Chen blankly.

The confidence in the other party's words was growing, which also meant that he was determined to succeed in this matter.

At this moment, she could no longer say anything to oppose Luo Chen.

Only one sentence.

"Since the Society Master has made up his mind, then Huiniang will follow you through life and death!"

Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief and reached out his hand.

Holding that somewhat cold, slender hand, he patted it gently.

"Don't worry!"

"I never fight a battle without certainty."

"If the matter is not feasible, I will stop, protect myself, and not let the Luo Tian Society fall into an irredeemable situation."
