Chapter 415

Inside the third-tier cave dwelling.

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

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

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

Of course, this tragedy is only aimed at the Flame Alliance side.

Because the Luo Yun Sect's preparation was truly too sufficient.

500 Foundation Establishment true cultivators, controlling thousands of puppets, and almost all of them were the kind of long-range bombardment puppets that had appeared on the Accumulated Thunder Mountain battlefield.

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

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

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

Because those ten Golden Cores of the Luo Yun Sect seemed to be only ten, but in reality, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to replace them with twenty Golden Cores.

Each of them is a person with powerful spiritual sense!

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

Moreover, in the top-level late Golden Core combat power, the Luo Yun Sect side also formed absolute suppression.

Cheng Yan of the Luo Yun Sect, ninth level of Golden Core!

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

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

Under such an attack.

It is rumored that the Flame Alliance Leader, who had extremely strong strength, was almost killed instantly.

And the hasty Flame Alliance cultivators were completely defeated and had no power to resist.

Fourteen Golden Core True Persons were slaughtered on the spot.

In the subsequent battle, it is rumored that only one or two out of ten survived.

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

It is precisely because of this.

Clearly, the Green Pill Valley and the Flame Alliance were both attacked by upper sect cultivators.

In the end, however, the Green Pill Valley was broken, but the Flame Alliance was crowned with the saying of "being slaughtered".

If it weren't for True Person Yaoguang of the Sword Sect cutting off the Green Pill Valley's Yuanhua Mountain with one sword, forcing the Luo Yun Sect to retreat, I'm afraid the Flame Alliance would have been removed from the list on the spot.

But even so!

After this battle, the Flame Alliance still fell to the bottom instantly.

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

Now, only two or three kittens remain.

If it weren't for the fact that the battle broke out suddenly, and there was still one Golden Core True Person outside who managed to survive.

I'm afraid the Flame Alliance would have already been removed from the list of great sects 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 happens to be Qin Tairan, who attacked our Luo Tian Society back then," President Sima Hui Niang said.

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

"Coincidence? I don't think so."

President Sima Hui Niang was confused.

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

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

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

Hearing this, President Sima Hui Niang suddenly realized.

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

Flame Alliance cultivators have many treasures, refine fire, and are good at using evil.

Back then, Qin Tairan used his natal magic treasure, the Taihuang Furnace, to attack Fairy Jueqing; the magic treasure was trapped, and it was by relying on the Flame Yang True Evil in the Taihuang Furnace that he summoned it back.

This is one of his great killing moves.

The killing move was broken because the evil energy was exhausted, so naturally, it had to be replenished.

This instead allowed him to luckily escape a disaster!

It's just, 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 hatred must be avenged by oneself!"

Seeing this scene, President Sima Hui Niang's heart jumped.

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

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

"But!"

President Sima Hui Niang's expression changed instantly, and she blurted out, "That is a Golden Core great sect!"

Luo Chen gave a hum.

The current Flame Alliance has the name of a great sect, but not the reality of a great sect.

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

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

Let alone Golden Core True Persons?

And involving low-tier cultivators, I imagine it's not much better.

Seeing Luo Chen's indifferent appearance, President Sima Hui Niang said with great worry:

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

"No matter how much the Flame Alliance suffers, 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 great sect."

"There are still Flame Alliance vassals surviving in other places, which is also a huge force."

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

"Society Leader, you must think thrice before acting!"

After listening to 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 President Sima Hui Niang still didn't agree, and was even prepared to risk angering him to continue persuading, he raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words.

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

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

President Sima Hui Niang was still somewhat unwilling, "Society Leader, I know you are very powerful, whether it's a battle of the same tier or a battle across tiers, you have almost no defeats. Why not wait until you form the Core before doing this? By then, the chances of winning should be greater!"

"Form the Core?" Luo Chen pulled 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 Core.

Thinking long-term with this as a premise.

President Sima Hui Niang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, as long as there is time, everything can be changed. By then, you will have formed a Golden Core, and I will be able to develop the Luo Tian Society to be strong and provide you with enough help."

To this, Luo Chen shook his head slowly.

"Too long!"

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

Plans are always not as fast as changes.

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

Cultivators who have lived in Dahefang for a hundred years, who would have thought that the bustling inner city would one day become a ghost city without any vitality?

In the Yuding Domain, which has been relatively peaceful for three hundred years, who would have thought that because a Golden Core True Person was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it would open up a civil war that lasted for more than twenty years?

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

But who would have thought that the Luo Yun Sect and the Sword Sect would suddenly rise up and carry out the act of destroying the great 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 in them.

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

"The Flame 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 the Golden Core great sect that we look up to, and we won't dare to have even the slightest thought."

"Even to say, in the current situation of wolves surrounding us, the Flame Alliance might make a move to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and deter others!"

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

President Sima Hui Niang's expression changed slightly, "How could it be like this?"

"Why wouldn't it be? We already have hatred with the Flame Alliance, and we have made them lose face twice in a row; we are the perfect target for deterrence," 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 Luo Yun Sect matter, the Flame Alliance still views my Luo Tian Society as a thorn in their side. Do you know why I let go of the Luo Tian Society and focused on seclusion?"

Luo Chen brushed away the jade slip powder on the table and hummed lightly: "Isn't it to gain as much strength as possible, so that I don't have to beg others when the time comes. Who knows, the next time they take action, it will be Flame Alliance cultivators attacking personally!"

President Sima Hui Niang was startled.

It seemed to recall the things from back then; when the Battle of Luo Tian broke out, the sense of powerlessness brought about by personal weakness was indeed desperate.

However, she was still somewhat hesitant.

"Will Flame Alliance cultivators take action personally?"

Luo Chen curled his lips, "Two Nascent Soul upper sects, the Luo Yun Sect and the Yuding Sword Sect, didn't care about their faces and took action personally against lower-tier sects. Some rules have already been broken; the Flame Alliance, forced into a corner, wouldn't they imitate one or two?"

"Moreover! They are not just forced into a corner now, but are already on the verge of life and death."

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

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

The long dialogue continued in the cave dwelling.

It seemed like Luo Chen was comforting President Sima Hui Niang and answering her confusion.

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

After all!

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

Still a sect that retains two or three Golden Cores and maintains the name of a great sect!

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

President Sima Hui Niang looked at Luo Chen in a daze.

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

By now, she could no longer say anything to oppose Luo Chen.

Only one sentence.

"Since the Society Leader has made up his mind, President Sima Hui Niang will follow you to 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, preserve myself, and not let the Luo Tian Society fall into a state of no return."
