Chapter 676: Chapter 279: New Feuds, Old Hatreds, Wolves Circling (Request for Monthly Tickets) _3

Now, the other party is coveting the Luo Tian Sect’s Foundation Establishment Pill, presumably aiming for the Ying Family to have another Foundation Establishment, and then they can deal with him.

Perfect!

This also presents the best opportunity for him to seek his revenge!

…

…

At the top of Tianlan Peak!

This place is set against a gigantic silver waterfall, devoid of the rumble of roaring water and unusually quiet.

Luo Chen stands with his hands clasped behind his back outside a cave mansion blanketed in ice and snow. He’s been standing there for quite a while, but the mansion’s master has given no response.

Sighing, Luo Chen has no choice but to return to his Immortal Mansion.

In the confines of his mansion, Luo Chen ponders over the burgeoning chaos emerging within these few days, his heart already scheming.

Those who are envious of the wealth of Danxia Peak and covet the Luo Tian Sect’s Foundation Establishment Pill did not suddenly spring up during this period of time.

Their roots, should have already been planted long ago!

It’s just that these people have been suppressing themselves for so long, always tolerating without acting out.

It’s only recently that they have grown restless.

The catalyst should be this special period of Sect succession and the change of Immortal City’s ruler.

Any “political” transition tends to bring about temporary chaos.

Those in the lower classes are helpless in this chaos, where they are left to shoulder injury in every rise and fall.

The existences in the middle layer crave it, as they can profit from this situation.

And for those in superior positions, as long as it is within a controlled scope, they also look forward to it.

After such chaos, there will naturally be a multitude of power vacuums.

By then, the lord of the Immortal City can seize a large amount of wealth and incidentally install forces that are inclined towards them.

For hundreds of years, the smaller factions that have been struggling in Tianlan Immortal City have more or less an affiliation with the Great Sect.

The reason lies herein.

Luo Chen can foresee, if this matter continues, it will lead to endless troubles in the future!

Where would his Luo Tian Sect get so many Foundation Establishment Pills from?

But even if stated, others wouldn’t believe him!

After all, in just a few short years, there are newly ascended Foundation Establishments within his family every now and then.

“In this matter, it ultimately depends on the attitude of the Ice Castle!”

“If the Ice Castle simply put out some words, no one would dare to have any designs on the Luo Tian Sect.”

“I don’t believe that they would willingly give up the Jade Dew Pill and watch as the Luo Tian Sect deteriorates.”

Luo Chen took a deep breath, planning to visit that Yi One Cave Mansion again the next day.

In this matter, seeking Shi Boying would be of no use.

As for Jueqing Fairy, he had no access to her.

However, Dan Taijun, who resides in the Yi One Cave Mansion, not only possesses a formidable cultivation level in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she is also the captain of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team.

Moreover, she represents the Ice Castle’s interests in the Immortal City.

If she speaks out, then all these worries and difficulties won’t be a problem anymore!

On the second day, early morning.

Luo Chen once again arrived outside the ice and snow cave mansion.

He quietly waited for a whole morning, but received no response.

He was sure that she was in the mansion, and she was not in closed-door cultivation recently.

It wouldn’t be possible for her to be in seclusion!

Now is the time for the transition of interests of the Immortal City between the two Sects, she couldn’t possibly be in closed-door cultivation.

Her deliberate avoidance made Luo Chen feel uneasy.

With no movement the entire morning, Luo Chen had no choice but to leave.

On the third day, it was still early morning.

Snow was flying all around.

Inside the mansion, two female cultivators were staring at the water mirror in front of them, which was displaying Luo Chen’s gloomy face.

“Sister Dan Tai, are you really not going to see Luo Chen?” Shi Boying asked.

“Why should I see him?” Dan Taijun said indifferently.

Shi Boying couldn’t help but say: “I heard that he has incurred a lot of trouble recently. A lot of true Foundation Establishment cultivators have intentions towards him. We cooperate with him, and even let him carry the banner of the Ice Castle. Shouldn’t we help him a bit?”

“We have many vassals carrying the banner of the Ice Castle. Should I personally intervene for every single one who runs into trouble?” Dan Taijun retorted.

Shi Boying was left speechless.

Dan Taijun coldly snorted, “Besides, the problems are not targeted at Luo Chen.”

“Uh….”

“What those people are interested in is Danxia Peak, what they have in mind is the Luo Tian Creed, and what they covet is his nonexistent large amount of Foundation Establishment Pills. All of these have absolutely nothing to do with our joint business concerning the Jade Dew Pill.”

Shi Boying suddenly had an epiphany.

The Luo Tian Creed, Danxia Peak, all of these indeed have little to no connection with the Jade Dew Pill business.

As long as Luo Chen is still around, he alone can refine the Jade Dew Pill, and this business will never be cut off.

The other party would not dare to cut it off either!

Because, the will of Golden Core Ascendant Master Jueqing Fairy is also involved here!

Unless, Luo Chen no longer wishes to live.

“I’ve been quite busy lately, the people sent from Qingdan Valley have been discussing important matters with me every day. I don’t have time to deal with these trivial matters.”

“If Luo Chen still wishes to nag, you can deal with him in my place!”

Dan Taijun became slightly impatient.

Shi Boying responded with an affirmation.

This senior sister of hers, she only had the advantage of joining the sect earlier.

Usually, she acted more like a subordinate.

However, just before leaving, a thought seemed to strike her and she couldn’t help but utter a sentence.

“Luo Chen doesn’t seem like someone who would give up the foundation he has built with his own hands. If there is a major disturbance, I fear his life might be in danger.”

Dan Taijun’s sword eyebrows quivered slightly as she stared at Shi Boying with a detached gaze.

“Have you received benefits from him?”

Shi Boying’s face turned red, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

The atmosphere within the mansion became incredibly awkward.

Meanwhile, outside the mansion.

The snow in the air hit his face, but Luo Chen’s chaotic state of mind had become clear.

He vaguely understood.

What the Ice Castle when after was him, his masterful Pill Refinement Technique.

The Luo Tian Creed, which was affiliated with him, was not considered by the Ice Castle.

In the eyes of the massive Ice Castle, a few hundred Qi Refinement Cultivators and a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were nothing but mere commoners!

The Luo Tian Creed was affiliated with him, and he was affiliated with the Ice Castle.

But the vassal of a vassal is not a vassal!

The Luo Tian Creed was only loyal to him, not the Ice Castle. Even he was indifferent towards the Ice Castle.

On the other hand, the Ice Castle would also not lend a helping hand to the Luo Tian Creed should the latter encounter any difficulties.

After understanding this rationale, Luo Chen no longer wished to seek an audience with Dan Taijun.

Looking at the mansion that was shrouded in the snow, Luo Chen harbored no anger nor resentment.

“There are some things that I can only rely on myself.”

After murmuring to himself, Luo Chen turned around and left.

This familiar scenario did not surprise the two female cultivators in the mansion.

The only thing that was surprising was that Luo Chen did not show up again for the next few days.

This made Shi Boying, who had prepared a stomach full of excuses, feel like she was throwing punches at cotton.

Just after chatting with Tao Wen from the Qingdan Valley, Dan Taijun returned to her mansion.

“Has he given up?”

“I’m not sure, but I heard that he is going to the funeral of the Clan Chief of the Qin Flower River Li family tomorrow.”

“Hehe, in such turbulent times, he still chooses to show his face in public, he truly has no fear of death!”

“Sister, are you really not going to help him?”

Dan Taijun was slightly irritated. She was very curious as to how much Luo Chen had bribed her senior sister over the years.

Shi Boying said with an open face, “I just think that he is a pretty decent person. We still have to cooperate in the future, there’s no need to strain our relationship.”

“You’re too meddlesome!”

With the heavy words spoken, the atmosphere in the mansion once again turned tense.

Shi Boying lowered her head, not intending to argue with her powerful junior sister.

Dan Taijun looked at her, a thought suddenly crossing her mind.

“I have my own plans for this matter, you needn’t say more.”
