Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 471 Kidnapping the Bride, Severing the Path, and Shifting the Blame Eastwards Startles Chang'an

"Lin-Chang-An!"

A chilling, piercing roar came from the demonic camp, causing many Nascent Soul cultivators on the side of the Protectorate Alliance to secretly observe Lin Chang'an.

This Nascent Soul cultivator has recently gained fame.

Just then, a loud burst of wild laughter came from the demonic faction, but the demonic formation had already been activated without anyone noticing.

"I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be fellow Daoists from the Protectorate Alliance."

A haughty and domineering laugh echoed out, and the person who came out was none other than the Blood Blade Demon, with whom he had clashed in Cloud City.

The Blood Blade Demon was dressed in a blood-red cassock, on which the screaming faces of vengeful spirits could be faintly seen, making him extremely eerie.

"It's the Blood Blade Demon!"

It was obvious that this Blood Blade Demon was infamous, and his mere appearance caused many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Protectorate Alliance to frown and become tense.

At the same time, there were five Nascent Soul cultivators around Blood Blade Demon.

One of them was emaciated, with bluish-black skin, and wore a hat that covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his features. However, he exuded a terrifying aura of death, clearly belonging to the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect.

Beside them was another person carrying a zombie on his back. The two seemed to be one, staring at them with bloodlust and a hoarse voice.

The other three, one of whom had his eyes squinted like a Buddha with a smile in the corners of his eyes, was dressed in a golden kasaya, looking like a highly enlightened monk.

The other two, on the other hand, were in the typical style of the Spirit Beast Sect, with several colorful spirit beast pouches around their waists.

"You are Lin Chang'an!"

One of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect, with a resolute face and a burly build, followed Sima Yuan's gaze and couldn't help but ask a question.

But the tone clearly conveyed the air of someone in a superior position, which made Lin Chang'an smile calmly.

"It is indeed me, Lin. However, it seems that your spirit pet is somewhat ignorant of the rules. You are a Nascent Soul Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, yet you seem to lack some knowledge in the art of beast taming."

The conflict between the Spirit Control Sect and the Spirit Beast Sect was almost irreconcilable, and the remnants of the Sima clan had also joined the Spirit Beast Sect.

Lin Chang'an simply stopped pretending; given the chance, both sides would want to kill each other.

Lin Chang'an's tone was seemingly amiable, but his words were extremely sharp.

It's considered impolite to insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses, but Lin Chang'an's sarcasm only served to pierce Sima Yuan's heart.

If he had any other choice, wouldn't he want to try the Nascent Soul stage normally?

Unfortunately, with the destruction of the Sima clan, his value plummeted, and the promised Nascent Soul material turned into this secret technique.

This left him with no choice, and Lin Chang'an's words, mocking him as a spirit beast of the Spirit Beast Sect, were like rubbing salt into his wounds.

Upon hearing this, Sima Yuan couldn't help but reveal a look of resentment. However, in the instant he lowered his head, there was also resentment towards the Spirit Beast Sect in his eyes, though he hid it very well.

"What a sharp-tongued Fellow Daoist Lin! You must have won over our Ice Butterfly Junior Sister with your words, right?"

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Spirit Beast Sect on the other side also retaliated with a sarcastic retort, his gaze falling on the Ice Butterfly Fairy beside him.

Laughter erupted from the demonic faction.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate. The demonic path was in no hurry to attack; on the contrary, they hoped that the other side would recklessly attack.

Last time we were ambushed and caught off guard, but this time it's different.

"Junior sister, you are all from my Spirit Beast Sect lineage. Now is a great opportunity. As long as you submit, your senior brother will recommend you as the Supreme Elder of the Spirit Control lineage. How about that?"

This verbal sparring was met with indifference from the Ice Butterfly Fairy, who simply chose to ignore it; the hatred between the two factions ran too deep.

Especially considering that she was poisoned by infantile poison back then, and the Spirit Beast Sect was behind her.

"The dignified Six Sects of the Demonic Path are nothing but a bunch of fellow Daoists who only know how to talk. It seems that the loss of this spiritual land was caused by the betrayal of the Old Ghost Shangyuan."

After exchanging verbal sparring, Jin Jianchuan let out a deafening laugh, drawing the attention of many onlookers.

Even Lin Chang'an frowned secretly. After this Fellow Daoist Jin's thoughts became clear, the improvement in his state of mind was also of great benefit to his strength.

Even he felt a domineering pressure from this aura.

"I am not good at talking, so I have come today to issue a challenge! Three months from now, my Guardian Alliance will declare war on you demonic cultivators."

This battle raged on until there were no demonic traitors within a two-thousand-mile radius of Cloud City!

The powerful and domineering declaration echoed, marking the boundary when Cloud City was still in the hands of the Protectorate Alliance.

Seeing that the demonic cultivators had no intention of fighting, the group, who had originally wanted to show off their power, secretly shook their heads.

……

However, with Jin Jianchuan's challenge issued, the demonic cultivators watched as the guardian alliance cultivators departed.

"This Guardian Alliance is really impatient."

"Hmph, they're just desperate, afraid the righteous path will abandon them."

"This Jin Jianchuan is quite a character, but unfortunately he underestimates the strength of the six sects of the demonic path."

"If it weren't for the good fortune of the Guardian Alliance, with the support of the White Sword Saint, they would have been conquered by our Six Demonic Sects long ago."

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demonic Path sneered, showing no sign of backing down in the face of the impending war. On the contrary, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect and the Evil Buddha Temple all revealed bloodthirsty smiles.

"I hope we can win over the renowned Ice Butterfly Fairy this time. In my opinion, her alabaster skin is perfect for crafting a top-grade Jade Lotus magic weapon."

Blood Saber Ancestor and his fellow disciple, the fat monk, exchanged a smile and both revealed their joy.

“Amitabha, junior brother also happens to lack a human skin drum magic weapon made from the skin and flesh of a Nascent Soul female cultivator.”

Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, with their sinister and bloodthirsty smiles, war is simply nourishment for their growth.

The Spirit Beast Sect was equally unwilling to be outdone, coldly snorting, "At that time, we will use these Nascent Soul cultivators from the Protectorate Alliance to feed our ferocious beasts."

Although there are many internal conflicts among the six sects of the demonic path, and the righteous path is often stronger than the demonic path, as long as the war enters a protracted war.

The six demonic sects, relying on their respective sect secret techniques, have such endurance that they have caused the righteous path a lot of trouble, resulting in heavy losses and leaving them with no choice but to give up.

"Alright, you old ghosts are hiding in the back drinking your wedding wine while we suffer here. After this old ghost's wedding night, it's time for your Spirit Beast Sect's war beasts to come and join us."

"rest assured."

……

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Guardian Alliance who were returning stopped halfway.

"Leader Jin, what's going on?"

Jin Jianchuan looked around at everyone with a big smile before speaking.

"Fellow Daoists, I have just received intelligence that the war beasts of the Demonic Spirit Beast Sect have arrived from the rear, and they are trying to win over the Elder Monster."

The Spirit Beast Sect is preparing to marry the White Crane Fairy to this man; the wedding is scheduled for the next few days.

Upon hearing Jin Jianchuan's information, everyone was surprised, not expecting that he would even know such secrets.

However, Lin Chang'an, who had plotted with Jin Jianchuan in the Cloud City project and knew him well, narrowed his eyes.

"Senior sister, this Fellow Daoist Jin is probably implying something in his words."

He didn't believe it was just a matter of stopping to tell everyone this information.

Upon hearing Lin Chang'an's telepathic message, the Ice Butterfly Fairy snorted and sneered, "What else could it be? This Jin fellow probably has some kind of conspiracy."

really!

Jin Jianchuan revealed his true intentions, directly stating the purpose of gathering everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, isn't this move too risky?"

"Yes, a surprise attack on a key town on the border of the demonic path could be troublesome if there are traps."

"This Old Monster Shangyuan is not easy to deal with."

When everyone heard that Jin Jianchuan was going to launch a surprise attack, their eyes widened, clearly indicating their rejection of such a risky move.

"I have reliable confidence, fellow Daoists, please do not disappoint me."

After this meaningful glance, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had arrived later to drink soup in Cloud City all changed their expressions.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an also realized that this Fellow Daoist Jin was clearly trying to force these Nascent Soul cultivators to submit a second pledge of allegiance.

"Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Bingdie, you will be responsible for providing support at the border. I, Jin, will be accompanying you all this time. To ensure the smooth completion of the plan, none of you are allowed to activate any communication talismans without authorization."

Jin Jianchuan didn't give anyone a chance to react and made his decision directly.

Especially when it comes to adventures, he personally leads the team, so even if others don't want to, they can't say anything.

Some hesitated, but others knew that they had missed out on the first bite of meat in Cloud City, and this was their second chance.

Nascent Soul cultivators are still human after all, and the difficulty of cultivation becomes even more apparent once they reach this level.

Lin Chang'an didn't feel the difficulty of cultivation simply because he had the backing of a major sect and the ability to amass wealth through four fourth-tier skills.

However, for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, the cultivation resources they obtain by relying solely on their own forces are far too few.

"This time, I will accompany Master Jin on this trip."

"That's right, we've already started a war with the demonic path anyway."

The cultivation world has never lacked gamblers, even Nascent Soul cultivators.

Normal caution is only because the temptation is not great enough. When the temptation of profit is great enough, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will take a risk.

Subsequently, five Nascent Soul cultivators—Lin Chang'an, Ice Butterfly Fairy, Murong Feng, Lin Fu, and Li Xuanzhen—were responsible for providing support.

Everyone immediately understood that the four major powers and the Protectorate Alliance were bound together by interests, and now that they had taken advantage of the situation, they would never give it up.

Therefore, within the Guardian Alliance, anyone can pledge allegiance to the Demonic Path, except for the four major powers, who will not do so now.

"Fellow Daoists, let's go!"

Jin Jianchuan was decisive; he led the others to conceal their auras and disappear in a flash of light.

However, before leaving, he tossed a jade pendant to Lin Chang'an.

"I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lin."

It was obvious that among the five, Jin Jianchuan thought it over carefully and concluded that Fellow Daoist Lin was the most reliable. After all, he was trusted by so many people, and given their previous cooperation, he was definitely better than the others.

Therefore, he entrusted his plans to Lin Chang'an, which was also a way of proving his trust.

Although it has a gambling element, there's no such thing as a stroke of luck.

Of the remaining five, Li Xuanzhen of the Great Qian Dynasty, holding a precious sword, couldn't help but quip, "This Alliance Leader Jin really has guts."

"Who can argue with that? But it is precisely this kind of courage that has enabled us to get to this point."

Even Lin Chang'an had to admire and sigh. Previously, everyone only saw that this Fellow Daoist Jin had a powerful backer, which could only be attributed to the blessings accumulated by his ancestors.

However, this time it proved their courage and boldness.

Reaching this point and becoming a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they truly possess great ability.

Leading a group of men in a surprise attack, though risky, was clearly worthwhile in his eyes compared to his ambition for hegemony.

"Junior brother, let's prepare for battle."

Despite this, everyone's gaze was clearly fixed on the jade token in Lin Chang'an's hand.

Lin Chang'an's eyes twitched immediately upon sensing the divine sense.

Well, as expected, Fellow Daoist Jin had planned this all along.

"Fellow Daoists, prepare for the rescue. After this, the Demonic Path may truly be about to start a war."

Lin Chang'an didn't hide anything and directly showed everyone the contents of the jade tablet.

After seeing the results, Li Xuanzhen of the Great Qian Dynasty was speechless, while Murong Feng was utterly astonished.

"For nearly a thousand years, the six sects of the demonic path have been arrogant and haughty. Especially as their strength has grown, they have gradually gained the momentum to overwhelm the five righteous sects."

When have we ever suffered such a huge loss? And if we really do nothing, tsk tsk.

When the Ice Butterfly Fairy saw this plan, she also showed a mocking expression.

"However, this Jin fellow seems to have a deeply hidden spy in the demonic path, as he even knows such important information."

The jade tablet records that Jin Jianchuan obtained reliable intelligence that a large amount of magical war materials were stockpiled in a key town on the border of the demonic path.

There was also a wedding, news of the arrival of the Upper Elder Monster and the War Beast at the front lines.

……

"According to the unspoken rules of war in the cultivation world, Nascent Soul True Monarchs restrain each other and are not allowed to directly attack lower-level cultivators except in special circumstances."

While waiting at the rendezvous point provided by Jin Jianchuan at the border, Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered as he considered the upcoming war.

“Junior brother, once the war is over, even if the sect suffers some losses, it will be negligible. The resources we gain will be enough to strengthen the sect.”

The two exchanged a secret conversation, with the Ice Butterfly Fairy also mentioning her own plans.

As long as the geniuses cultivated by the sect do not encounter any accidents, everything else is fine.

Moreover, the potential benefits are clearly worth the risk.

"However, junior brother, it would be best to hold back in this battle, especially since you cultivate both physical and magical techniques. Do not reveal your abilities unless absolutely necessary."

Ice Butterfly Fairy secretly instructed that if she had a choice, she would not want to reveal that she had broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Sister, don't worry."

Although it was for personal gain, the concern was genuine, which made Lin Chang'an nod in agreement.

However, the way the two were exchanging words took on a different meaning in the eyes of the other three.

Murong Feng kept her eyes straight ahead, as if she hadn't seen anything, but she was thinking to herself.

"At present, among the four major forces, Daqian seems to be the strongest, but Yuling Sect has the most top-notch combat power."

The Great Qian Dynasty only has one Emperor Qian, who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while the combat power of the Ice Butterfly True Monarch of the Yuling Sect is beyond doubt, not to mention Lin Chang'an, who has extraordinary combat power and extensive connections.

Seeing the Ice Butterfly Fairy and Lin Chang'an so intimate, Li Xuanzhen of the Great Qian Dynasty sighed softly in his heart.

Ice Butterfly True Monarch possesses both strength and talent, is an unparalleled beauty, and is backed by a vast sect with substantial assets.

Having just one of these things would be attractive enough, let alone having almost all of them.

Therefore, Li Xuanzhen's admiration was not only due to his beauty and strength, but also to his interests, but unfortunately, none of that came of it.

Lin Fu, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator in Corpse Valley, couldn't help but curse the two of them inwardly as a despicable couple.

The four major forces of the Guardian Alliance already had grudges and entanglements with each other, and this time they only joined forces because of common interests.

Half a day later.

Although their divine senses detected nothing, the five people on a mountain peak who were responsible for providing backup all changed their expressions drastically.

"What momentum!"

Even though they were far apart, they all felt the powerful aura of the aftershocks of the battle.

"They've started fighting, and judging by the intensity, it seems they're really getting into it." Upon seeing this, and at the Ice Butterfly Fairy's prompting, Lin Chang'an said in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoists, prepare to provide support. This time, our Alliance Leader Jin is likely to cause a major upheaval in the Spirit Beast Sect."

Sure enough, a moment later, the light of the Golden Alliance Leader could be seen in the distance, along with the other eight people he was leading—no, there was also an extra figure.

"Come on!"

Behind him were eight Nascent Soul cultivators, all looking disheveled. Some were excited, while others had fluctuating expressions. This time, it was close enough that their desire to join the demonic path had been completely extinguished.

"Haha, that's great! Alliance Leader Jin is indeed domineering. This time, those demonic brats will have a hard time."

"Haha, Alliance Leader Jin, you can rest assured this time."

The streaks of light flew by quickly, as if fleeing for their lives. Even Jin Jianchuan, who was in the lead, was somewhat disheveled, but a look of joy appeared on his face.

It is clear that the plan went very smoothly.

At this moment, there was a golden rope magic artifact behind him, binding a person, who was the extra figure being carried away by Jin Jianchuan using the Nascent Soul Escape Technique.

This person was none other than the White Crane Fairy from Cloud City.

This woman, now dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered wedding gown, with exquisite features, a delicate nose, and cherry lips, exudes a cool and aloof charm. Yet, on her wedding day, she was abducted.

When the jewels at her temples swayed gently, her pale face gained a touch of poignant beauty.

"Haha, fellow Daoists, hurry up and leave! Old Monster Shangyuan has probably gone mad."

Jin Jianchuan laughed domineeringly. Others might not know, but he did know the reason why Shangyuan Old Monster, a dignified mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, joined the Spirit Beast Sect for a female cultivator.

The intention was purely to use the White Crane Fairy to switch to a dual cultivation technique, and then help this person form a Nascent Soul, with the aim of attempting to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

It can be said that the White Crane Fairy was related to his opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Otherwise, let alone a mere Core Formation female cultivator, even a stunningly beautiful Nascent Soul female cultivator wouldn't be able to easily sell herself to a Nascent Soul old monster.

However, although she was restraining the White Crane Fairy, she remained indifferent and showed no sign of worry for herself.

"Fellow Daoist Jin!"

The group of Nascent Soul cultivators fled so quickly that they arrived at the pre-arranged rendezvous point in just a moment. Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an and the others realized that returning to Cloud City was the most important thing now.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the group left with Lin Chang'an and four others following behind.

……

A once joyous stronghold on the border of the demonic path is now a scene of devastation, littered with traces left by giant beasts.

There was even a giant beast lying in the stronghold, its body severed from its head, its huge pupils still filled with a savage aura.

The attic, which should have been the bridal chamber on their wedding day, is now dilapidated. The old monster Shangyuan, dressed in a red groom's robe, usually has a big belly and a smiling face.

Now, however, his face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, as he looked at the tattered red veil in the bridal chamber.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! The Dao Protector Alliance has severed my path to enlightenment. Today, I will fight you to the death, one by one!"

The old monster Shangyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was filled with a chilling aura.

"Old Monster Shangyuan, is this how you control the war beasts of my Spirit Beast Sect?"

"Damn it, there must be a traitor among us. This group from the Protectorate Alliance came specifically for these two war behemoths."

"The losses are enormous!"

After suppressing the two berserk war beasts, the faces of the cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect became even more grim.

These two war behemoths were, to put it bluntly, a gift they gave to win over the Elder Monster. They had just been freed from their suppression and were just waiting for the Elder Monster to re-temper the Beast Taming Life Tablet.

Despite the Spirit Beast Sect's generosity, these two war beasts only have a lifespan of twenty or thirty years. To put it bluntly, they are an investment for the other side to profit from during the war.

"Elder Shangyuan, is this how you protect our Spirit Beast Sect's Holy Maiden?"

An elderly man in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm walked out with a grim expression.

In an effort to win her over, they had just publicly announced that Fairy White Crane was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Beast Sect, though it was merely a title without substance. Now, on her wedding day, she was abducted.

That's a slap in the face to the Spirit Beast Sect.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I'm willing?"

The old monster Shangyuan was now filled with rage; he had truly lost both his wife and his army.

He had obtained the agreement and the deal with the Spirit Beast Sect, which meant that both parties had made a vow, and now he was an elder of the Spirit Beast Sect.

As a result, the two near-fourth-tier war beasts were gone, and what's worse, even the beauty he was planning to marry was kidnapped.

After going around in circles, he gained nothing and even lost everything.

"Damn it! This old man surnamed Jin will never let you off the hook!"

The old monster Shangyuan roared angrily, even though he knew the chances of breaking through were slim.

But having a chance and having no chance at all are two completely different things.

……

City in the Clouds.

Upon Jin Jianchuan and the others' return, they immediately ordered a state of high alert, as the demonic army was poised to launch an attack at any moment.

The entire immortal city, as well as other strongholds, began preparing for battle.

As night fell, what should have been a joyous night for the Old Monster of the Upper Realm turned into a scene of cleaning up the mess.

But inside the council hall of Cloud City, there was a joyful atmosphere.

"Haha, the demonic path has suffered considerable losses this time."

"It's funny to think about it now. Back then, that old monster Shangyuan betrayed our Guardian Alliance for his own benefit, causing Cloud City to fall into the hands of the demonic path. This is just retribution."

"Indeed, although the six sects of the demonic path are despicable, the most hateful one is this Old Monster Shangyuan."

Some of the older Nascent Soul cultivators clearly harbored a deeper hatred for the Upper Yuan Old Monster.

If it weren't for the betrayal of the Old Monster Shangyuan, how could the Guardian Alliance have suffered such a crushing defeat, resulting in a significant loss of overall strength?

Inside the brightly lit hall, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators laughed heartily and toasted each other.

We used to share the profits, and now we're all working together to protect them; you could say we're all on the same side.

"Alliance Leader Jin, I've long heard that the White Crane Fairy we snatched today is an absolute beauty, and she's even been named a Holy Maiden by the Spirit Beast Sect. Why don't you bring her out so everyone can have a look?"

"Indeed, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Beast Sect, one of the six major sects of the Demonic Path, must have found it quite delightful. As for such spoils, we will follow the old rules and let the highest bidder win."

In the cultivation world, female Nascent Soul cultivators are extremely rare, so it's not unusual for a Nascent Soul cultivator to marry a Core Formation female cultivator.

This is why, even after being poisoned by the infant spirit, Fairy Ice Butterfly was still admired by many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Not to mention this White Crane Fairy, in addition to her beauty, her status as a saintess and her background have also elevated her considerably.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Guardian Alliance, there are many who are proficient in the art of sexual cultivation, and naturally they would be envious.

"Everyone!"

Looking at everyone, Jin Jianchuan, the vice leader who now held real power, cupped his hands and smiled at them.

"This old man, the White Crane Fairy, once did me a favor, and when we raided the demonic stronghold, this young friend was even prepared to self-destruct."

It was only because of our past friendship and the three conditions we agreed upon that I was able to invite this young friend back.

Jin Jianchuan spoke with an air of loyalty and righteousness, but it was unclear how many people actually believed him.

Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie below exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat suspicious.

“Junior brother, given the methods of this Jin fellow, he shouldn’t be so reluctant to part with a female cultivator. There’s probably something wrong here.”

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly.

"Senior sister, why bother with him? In the current situation, it's better to fight sooner rather than later."

Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie could roughly guess Jin Jianchuan's grand plan: to use this opportunity to recruit more cultivators and achieve true hegemony.

Similarly, they also benefited, and even if there were grudges between them, it was unlikely that the war would be restarted in the short term.

Having gained territory and facing external pressures, even after the war ends, they still need to recover their strength.

It can be said that there will be no major internal wars in the next two or three hundred years.

For the two men, and indeed most people, the most important thing is to end the war as soon as possible and let them digest the benefits they have gained.

After all, they gained a huge advantage this time. As for infiltrating the territory of the demonic path? They hadn't even considered it.

However, just as Lin Chang'an and the Ice Butterfly Fairy were secretly teasing each other, the White Crane Fairy made her appearance.

However, Lin Chang'an never expected that he, who had intended to watch the show and enjoy the gossip, would end up getting the short end of the stick.

……

"Greetings, Senior Jin."

A beautifully crafted phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, shimmering with ethereal light, made her face appear as pale as snow falling under the moonlight.

But in those eyes shrouded in light smoke, there was a chilling, lingering ember, and with every step, the White Crane Fairy revealed the desolation of a defeated warrior.

At the same time, her stunning and aloof temperament, reminiscent of the Moon Goddess in the Moon Palace, stirred the interest of many Nascent Soul stage monsters.

However, remembering that this woman was the Old Monster of Shangyuan, everyone secretly retreated.

If we really take this down, we'll probably be targeted by the Old Monster of Shangyuan.

Everyone here is a Nascent Soul cultivator who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Unless there is enough benefit to be gained, no one wants to provoke such a formidable enemy for no reason.

After all, not everyone has the strength and resources of an Elder Monster, daring to invest precious Nascent Soul materials in an uncertain female cultivator.

"Ah."

With the appearance of the White Crane Fairy, the Nascent Soul stage monsters who had been arguing just moments before suddenly became cunning and fell silent.

However, upon seeing this, Jin Jianchuan calmly nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice:

"I held back against you before because of Old Crane, and I also made a three-point agreement with you, which I will not break. But young friend, you are now the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Beast Sect, our great enemy in the demonic path."

"I will not let you leave easily, young friend. All of you present are renowned Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world. Many of you have previously expressed your admiration for you. If you wish, you may choose not to return to the demonic path."

Jin Jianchuan's domineering voice echoed, causing many Nascent Soul stage monsters present to change their expressions, and many cursed inwardly.

That guy surnamed Jin is really ruthless; he's pulling this stunt again.

Such humiliation of the Holy Maiden of one of the six sects of the Demonic Path will surely create a deep enmity between everyone and the Demonic Path if word gets out about what happened in the main hall today.

This is not a simple humiliation, nor is it about showing off one's status; it's about dragging everyone down with them.

At this moment, many people looked at each other in bewilderment, finding Jin Jianchuan's series of methods rather troublesome.

"Young friend, are you interested?"

Jin Jianchuan's lips curled into a shrewd and domineering smile.

Although he had an agreement with this White Crane Fairy, how could a mere Core Formation cultivator be worthy of equal conversation?

The White Crane Fairy below was pale-faced, her lips completely bloodless as she bit them. She had foreseen this outcome when she was trying to negotiate with the tiger.

However, this feeling of being at the mercy of others is truly suffocating.

His cold gaze swept over everyone present, and the eyes of each Nascent Soul cultivator flickered, as if they were aware of the stakes involved.

However, many of the descendants and disciples of the Nascent Soul stage monsters showed amazement and greed when they saw the White Crane Fairy.

When Jin Jianchuan saw this scene, he let out a low laugh. After decades of planning, the feeling of having such power in his hands was indeed intoxicating.

However, just as he was about to give the White Crane Fairy a way out, she saw a figure in white and, after a moment of calculation, she directly interrupted his plan.

"I met this Senior Lin once before in Cloud City. I have always admired him. I never thought that Fellow Daoist Lin was actually a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

This humble woman knows she is of unworthy appearance and unlikely to meet your esteemed standards, but if it is you, she is willing to serve as your slave or concubine.

As the White Crane Fairy's clear, cold voice echoed, Lin Chang'an, who had been watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but widen his eyes. He realized he was the one who had gotten himself into this mess.

Many Nascent Soul stage monsters on the scene showed expressions of astonishment, followed by schadenfreude and teasing.

Jin Jianchuan was taken aback, then looked at Lin Chang'an as if to say, "I only asked you to make contact, and you actually succeeded in three days?"
"Fellow Daoist Jin, you schemed against me!"

Lin Chang'an was furious. He stared coldly at Jin Jianchuan and questioned him directly in front of everyone.

He definitely won't take the blame for this.

This White Crane Fairy is a hot potato. Although he and the Spirit Beast Sect are irreconcilable, it's not worth it to be targeted by a mid-Nascent Soul stage Upper Yuan Old Monster.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't try to be the first to accuse someone!"

Jin Jianchuan stared wide-eyed, as if questioning what he had done in the previous three days.

Your current behavior is clearly a case of turning the tables and blaming others.

"Tsk tsk, my good junior brother, you really have some skills."

However, at this moment, the Ice Butterfly Fairy revealed a meaningful smile and jokingly teased him.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators who knew the inside story of the surprise attack on Cloud City also showed strange expressions.

"This Fellow Daoist Lin is truly..."

Murong Feng, a young and outstanding talent, was even more astonished, while the old man Murong Yun, standing to the side, was even more envious of this person's abilities.

If his grandson has any ability, the future prosperity of the Murong family is probably assured.

Lin Chang'an had originally intended to be the one to accuse the villain first, but the expressions on everyone's faces were clearly off, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

He didn't! That's utter nonsense!

“Fellow Daoist Jin, just listen to the rumors outside. If I, Lin, truly possessed such abilities, why would I need to come to the Dao Protection Alliance? I would have already gone to the Azure Sea Palace to curry favor with those two palace masters, or perhaps to White Jade City to curry favor with White Sword Saint.”

Lin Chang'an sneered and said that these rumors were just rumors to be taken with a grain of salt, and he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Lin is right."

Upon hearing this telepathic message, Jin Jianchuan coughed twice, his expression still revealing a strange look.

If it were anyone else, he naturally wouldn't believe it, but you wiped out the Sima clan before and were able to invite so many friends. How can you expect others to believe you?

He has sacrificed so much and even made numerous calculations to win over so many people.

You say this is a rumor, but the question is, does anyone actually believe it?

At the very least, this Ice Butterfly Fairy was so aloof and arrogant when she was in the Guardian Alliance, and you've only been here a short time.

Everything else is just rumors and lies, but surely the situation of this Ice Butterfly Fairy can't be faked?

They all witnessed it.

　Thank you all for your support.
