Chapter 742: Chapter 659: The East Wind Blows, The War Drums Beat! Go Up

PS: There are two Chapter 656s; the previous Chapter should be 658, and this one is 659. I will ask the editor to help correct this later.

...

Before the three-day deadline had arrived, two days later, just as the global cultivation community was focused on how the American Cultivator Alliance would respond to Chu Xuanji and the Yanhuang Organization, a bombshell news broke—the American Cultivator Alliance initiated the call to hold a global cultivation conference!

On that day, the American Cultivator Alliance first sent letters to the other five Great Alliances, including the Huaxia Alliance, and then extended special invitations to some of the ancient and powerful cultivation families and sects around the world, inviting them to participate in the first Global Cultivation Conference.

The location of the conference was set in Tianzhu, and the time was ten days later.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a huge stir in the global cultivation world!

"What does the American Cultivator Alliance want to do?"

Almost all major powers and individuals in the global cultivation world knew that this was the American Cultivator Alliance’s forceful response to Chu Xuanji, but they were unclear about the ultimate goal of the American Cultivator Alliance.

That afternoon, He Yunting, an outer elder of the Yanhuang Organization cultivators, received the invitation from the American Cultivator Alliance.

He reported to Yan at the first opportunity.

Because Ye Fan had overturned the whole Japan Cultivation World, causing an uproar that led to global cultivation instability, Yan could no longer continue as an absentee steward—in recent days, he had been working at the head office of the Yanhuang Organization.

"Leader, if nothing unexpected happens, the American Cultivator Alliance is taking this step to unite the other alliances to suppress us. How should we respond?"

After reporting the situation, He Yunting expressed his opinion and sought guidance from Yan.

"Although this cultivation conference is convened by the American Cultivator Alliance, clearly aimed against us, it’s the first grand gathering of the global cultivation community, and we have no reason not to attend," sighed Yan.

"Hmm, Xi Wei’er the old fox has precisely calculated this, and that’s why he dares send the invitation—he’s not afraid of us refusing," He Yunting nodded in agreement and eagerly awaited Yan’s decision.

"Previously, Xuanji responded forcefully, and our silence was tantamount to acknowledging Xuanji’s dominant stance. Now, since the American Cultivator Alliance is pressing step by step, we must remain forceful through and through."

Indeed, as the number one person in the global cultivation world and the Guardian of Huaxia, Yan was a person of great decisiveness. He quickly made a decision and then arranged, "Yunting, immediately send a notice on behalf of the Yanhuang Organization to all the major cultivation families and sects, calling upon the strong people of the Dragon Ranking to represent us and form the Hua Xia delegation together with the Yanhuang Organization and head to Tianzhu to attend the cultivation conference."

"Got it!"

Hearing these words, He Yunting’s heart stirred, immediately understanding Yan’s intent.

Yan wanted to gather all the strong people of the Hua Xia Cultivation World to attend this global cultivation conference with a firm stance, forcefully resisting the suppression by the American Cultivator Alliance in partnership with the other alliances!

After leaving Yan’s office, He Yunting immediately executed Yan’s orders—issuing the call to the strong people on the Dragon Ranking and to all the major cultivation families and sects!

Lv Family Ancestral Land.

As the Family Head of the Lv Family, Lv Yuan had received the Yanhuang Organization’s call to arms but had not yet made arrangements when a Gang Qi Introduction Realm aura suddenly surged from the southwest direction of the ancestral land!

Hmm?!

Feeling this aura, Lv Yuan’s heart moved, and his pupils dilated sharply.

Whoosh!

The next instant.

Lv Yuan’s figure flashed, sweeping out the door like a breeze, and upon reaching the ground, he leaped into the air, using Qi Manipulation to fly toward the cultivation secret land in the southwest direction of the Lv Family Ancestral Land.

Swish!

At the same time, almost all members of the Lv Family within the ancestral land turned their gazes towards Lv Yuan in the sky, all thinking the same thought: Could it be that Lv Zhan has succeeded in his breakthrough?

"Haha, hahaha..."

As if in response to everyone, hearty laughter erupted from the southwest direction of the family land.

Inside the cultivation secret land, Lv Zhan stood erect like a spear, his body exuding the aura of a Gang Qi Introduction Realm cultivator, laughing heartily with excitement and pride.

After days of seclusion, he had finally taken this step, entered the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, and become a true strong person in the cultivation world. He now possessed the capital to contend with other alliance’s cultivating geniuses. How could he not be thrilled?

"Little Zhan, you really didn’t disappoint me," said Lv Yuan, arriving above the cultivation secret land with a face of gratification.

"Of course! Who am I? I’m the Lv Family genius, destined to be renowned in the global cultivation world!" Lv Zhan was not modest at all, and instead bragged arrogantly, "Just wait, Grandpa, come the Hidden God List competition at the end of the year, I’ll beat those other alliance’s cultivation geniuses so badly they won’t even recognize their mothers."

"—"

Although Lv Yuan was accustomed to his beloved grandson’s braggadocio, he still found himself at a loss for words and soon sighed as he said, "I need to take a trip. Since you’ve succeeded in your breakthrough, you should come with me to get some exposure to the world."

"Exposure?" Lv Zhan was momentarily taken aback and blurted out, "Grandpa, where are you taking me to see the world?"

"The Global Cultivation Conference will be held in Tianzhu in ten days," said Lv Yuan.

"Global Cultivation Conference? I haven’t heard of it before?"

Lv Zhan was a bit confused. As far as he knew, there had never been such a grand event in the modern cultivation world—it made no sense to suddenly organize one.

"It’s initiated by the American Cultivators. It’s an impromptu decision," Lv Yuan elaborated.

"Damn, the Yanhuang Organization didn’t announce such a grand event, and the American Cultivators took the lead. Who do they think they are?" Lv Zhan complained loudly.

"It’s all because of your good brother, Ye Fan," said Lv Yuan with a wry smile.

"Ye Fan called for the convening of the Global Cultivation Conference?!"

Hearing Lv Yuan’s words again, Lv Zhan was taken aback, then instinctively asked, "Grandpa, what earth-shattering thing has my good brother done now? What’s caused such a big stir?"

"He alone has toppled the Japan Cultivation World!" Lv Yuan did not conceal the truth and stated the facts.

"Uh..."

This time, Lv Zhan was utterly dumbfounded.

It was as if he had heard a mythological tale. He stared wide-eyed at Lv Yuan, his expression filled with shock as if to say, ’Grandpa, I haven’t cultivated much, don’t lie to me—how is this possible?!’

"It’s like this..."

Seeing the look on Lv Zhan’s face, Lv Yuan knew that if he didn’t explain the situation to Lv Zhan, Lv Zhan would buzz around him restlessly like a fly. So he decided to take the initiative to tell the story.

"Sigh... originally I thought that after breaking through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, I could finally strut my stuff. But compared to what Ye Fan has done, I’m simply a minnow in the presence of a giant—since Fan was born, why was Zhan even needed!"

After hearing Lv Yuan’s account, Lv Zhan let out a long sigh to the heavens. He seemed utterly melancholic, devoid of any of the demeanor of a strongman, looking more like a clown sent by the monkeys.

"—"

Lv Yuan’s forehead was lined with black marks, feeling that his precious grandson was just too unconventional, so much so that he was starting to worry about entrusting the family to Lv Zhan in the future.

"But speaking of which, Ye Fan is my brother. If he’s awesome, that means I’m awesome too."

After his long sigh, Lv Zhan’s attitude did a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree turn, faster than a woman changing clothes. He was no longer melancholic but instead felt happy for Ye Fan, taking pride in having a brother like him.

"You’ll continue to seclude yourself for the next few days to consolidate your cultivation. I’ll come to find you when it’s time to leave," said Lv Yuan helplessly.

"Got it, Grandpa!"

Lv Zhan nodded, then put away his irreverent facade. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he sneered, "This American Cultivator Alliance is hosting some damn Cultivation World conference, and they’re clearly joining forces with the other alliances to settle the score with my brother. If they try to use their power to bully my brother, you must back him up along with the Evil Emperor—when the east wind blows, the war drums beat, who the hell is afraid of whom?!"

"—"

Lv Yuan was left speechless and silently departed.

From the Lv Family’s point of view, they did not wish for the event to end in battle.

But... reason told him that if negotiations failed, this battle was unavoidable!

Meanwhile.

Jiang Family Ancestral Land.

The Jiang Family Patriarch also received a summons from the Yanhuang Organization.

"Heh, Yan is protecting the Evil Emperor and that little beast without regard for the bigger picture, angering the American Cultivator Alliance. Now they expect the entire Hua Xia Cultivation World to face this together, what a cunning plan!" In the ancestral house of the Jiang Family, Granny Jiang sneered.

"That may be, but we still have to go," the Jiang Family Patriarch stated.

"Of course we have to go, but not to help Yan wipe the Evil Emperor’s and that little beast’s behinds. We’re going to enjoy the show!" Granny Jiang sneered, "I refuse to believe that Yan will truly disregard the bigger picture and risk tearing face completely with the other Five Great Alliances to protect the Evil Emperor and his disciple!"

"I don’t believe it either," the Jiang Family Patriarch nodded in agreement.

"If Yan can’t hold out to the end, then the Evil Emperor and that little beast are definitely in for it this time!" Granny Jiang sneered again.

"Indeed, it’s hard to fend off many with just two fists. Although the Evil Emperor has broken through to the Great Perfection of Gang Qi, he was seriously injured before and it’s almost impossible for him to recover to his peak state. How much combat power he can exert is a big question mark," the Jiang Family Patriarch added, nodding once again.

"And on the side of the American Cultivator Alliance, Xi Wei’er has already broken through to the Great Perfection Realm of Gang Qi, and they’ve allied with the other alliances as well. If Yan does not protect them strongly, the teacher and disciple duo are likely in for more trouble than luck," he said.

"Then let me take Little Ying to enjoy the show. It’s a good opportunity to eliminate her Heart Demon and let her see more of the world," Granny Jiang suggested.

"Hmm."

The Jiang Family Patriarch nodded in agreement, knowing that all the big global cultivation families and sects would certainly bring their own cultivation geniuses to the event.

Just as the Jiang and Lv ancient cultivation families received the summons from the Yanhuang Organization, other forces within the Hua Xia Cultivation World and strong people of the Dragon Ranking also received the notice.

There was one exception though.

Bodhi Wuyin.

The Yanhuang Organization couldn’t contact her, but she learned about the event through other channels.

"Master, shall we go?"

At the peak of the snowy mountain, Su Liuli asked Bodhi Wuyin.

"Go!"

Bodhi Wuyin looked up at the sky and slowly exhaled one word, her tone firm.

"Master, aren’t you afraid to meet the Evil Emperor?" Su Liuli was surprised and blurted out the question.

"I don’t wish to meet him, yet I’m willing to share life and death with him," Bodhi Wuyin said while closing her eyes, murmuring with a determined and persistent expression.

Su Liuli shuddered, picturing Ye Fan’s figure in her mind.

"I’m willing too."

She thought to herself.
