Chapter 1423: Chapter 1382 Alliance

Dance?

A man dancing, isn’t that a bit odd? Could it be that Yun Yan’s crush is a sissy?

However, let’s not forget that in ancient times, especially the Tang Dynasty, the likes of broken sleeves and Longyang were quite common, and there were even special brothels that offered such choices for their patrons.

Lu Chuan couldn’t afford to think, he continued to explore the wall piece by piece, but alas, the mural was too large, and after some investigation, he still found nothing.

Fortunately, Miao Conglu seemed to have discovered something. She removed a secret metal plaque that was so tightly fitted it was almost indistinguishable. On it was engraved a wildly flowing character, the character for ‘heaven’. Based on Lu Chuan’s knowledge of spell techniques, it seemed to be in the ‘Flying White’ script.

It makes sense, during the Tang Dynasty, due to the emperor’s love for the Flying White script, the courtiers and literary people mastered the art of writing a dashing Flying White script to please the emperor.

“The character engravings are quite complete, this should be it, well done.”

“There’s no time to lose, let’s set off as soon as possible.”

Miao Conglu tossed the secret plaque to Lu Chuan, turned away with an expressionless face, clearly still cold and distant.

There’s no need to guess, she’s still holding a grudge over the earlier incident.

But Lu Chuan couldn’t be bothered to quarrel with her, so he simply let it be.

“But, isn’t there any treasure in this Jade Clear Palace? Since we’re here, we can’t just come all this way for a metal plaque, right?”

Yun Yan helplessly said: “There are, but most of them were luxurious and precious items that were taken away long ago, what’s left are things that couldn’t be moved, so there probably aren’t any particularly priceless treasures left.”

“Is that so? What a pity.”

Lu Chuan sighed lightly and then followed Miao Conglu and Yun Ji away.

As the three were heading to the Jade Ring Hall, Yun Yan suddenly reminded Lu Chuan, speaking in a grave tone, “You need to pick up the pace now, the barrier has been completely breached, and it’s only a matter of time before the people outside realize this and swarm in. By then, the competition will be too fierce.”

“That fast? Weren’t we supposed to have more time?”

“Some people arrived and their abilities far exceeded my expectations. Among them, someone seems particularly skilled in formations, which accelerated the barrier’s destruction.”

“I understand.”

With that said, Lu Chuan naturally had to speed up, not wasting time on unnecessary arguments.

Although he had already put quite a distance between himself and others during this period, who’s to say that none of the cultivators or martial artists out there had discovered crucial clues about the treasures of the Old Lands of Qingqiu?

…

At this moment, in Jiangbei Provincial City!

After Han Qingci sent people to persuade a certain group of cultivators from the Penglai Immortal Domain to stop their atrocities, they didn’t cease their actions; instead, they became increasingly vicious, thoroughly inciting the discontent of the Northern River martial artists and aristocratic families.

“I say, let’s fight them! What the hell is this Penglai Immortal Domain? They’re just scum among scums! They only have eight people, if we unite, even if we have to risk our lives, we’ll show these beasts that the Northern River isn’t to be trifled with, and we’re not cowards!”

“Fight? With what? Five Nascent Soul Late Stage, three Mid Nascent Soul Stage, such power is enough to overturn all of Jiangbei!

You’re acting all tough now, but what about afterward? Have you thought about how to end it? With Jiangbei’s current strength, we can’t possibly compete with those beasts head-on!”

Even if all the aristocratic families in Jiangbei came together, they couldn’t muster eight Nascent Soul cultivators. If they had top-level fighters to compete, it might be different, but the problem is their top fighters can’t match those from the Penglai Immortal Domain.

How many lives would it cost to pile up enough to win?

Right now, everyone talks big, but when push comes to shove, who is willing to volunteer to lead their family members to charge and die?

Seeing the argument grow increasingly heated, Han Qingci took a deep breath and spoke in a somber voice, “Wake up, stop arguing! The people from the Penglai Immortal Domain are here, and you’re still bickering among yourselves, do you think Jiangbei hasn’t suffered enough?”

As one of the largest aristocratic families in the Jiangbei Provincial City, and holding control over both the Han and Zhong families, Han Qingci’s words were akin to the thunderous gavel in court, and once she spoke, no one dared ignore her.

“Miss Han, in my opinion, why don’t we invite Mr. Lu Chuan? Mr. Lu Chuan is immensely powerful, capable beyond measure, and dealing with these scum would be much easier for him.”

“Lu Chuan is currently not in Cloud City. This matter can only be resolved by us. In recent days, I’ve asked people from other provinces and cities, and there have been appearances of people from the Penglai Immortal Domain all over the country, their numbers varying. My idea is to form a Martial Alliance nationwide to resist the Penglai Immortal Domain, to show them that people from the secular world are not soft persimmons to be easily bullied!”

“Miss Han, which forces did you contact this time?”

“The Qingyang Tang Family, Qingyang Qinglong Academy, Tian Nan Shen Family, Yuncheng Hanging Pot Medical Hall, Ye Family of Luocheng, and Profound Sect, all of them have expressed willingness to join us in forming a Martial Alliance against the Penglai Immortal Domain.”

With these words, everyone gasped in shock.

What Han Qingci mentioned were almost undisputed top forces in the secular world!

Regardless of whether it’s Qinglong Academy or the Profound Sect, they’re places teeming with strong individuals, and the Hanging Pot Medical Hall is Lu Chuan’s domain. Once the Martial Alliance is formed, they will have the confidence to stand against the Penglai Immortal Domain!

“Miss Han, do you know when this alliance will be formed? And who will lead it as Alliance Hierarch?”

“Naturally, it will be Nalan Xuan, the dean of Qinglong Academy, a Spirit Splitting Realm power. With her presiding, the secular world will be safe and sound.”

In truth, Han Qingci did not care about the position of Alliance Hierarch.

After all, the people she contacted, without exception, were all Lu Chuan’s wives; they could either call it the Martial Alliance or Lu Chuan’s Wives’ Lineage. Whoever serves as the leader doesn’t matter, in the end, they all obey Lu Chuan.

“I’ve already informed all the major families of the details. I believe we will soon receive responses, and by then, we must punish these Penglai Immortal Domain dogs properly!”

…

“So, it’s not just Jiangbei stirring; there are resistance forces emerging in various places within the secular world, with plans to unite, is that right?”

Luocha sat with eyes closed, tapping his fingers incessantly on the table as if pondering.

After a long time, Luocha opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.

“Convey this matter back to the Penglai Immortal Domain and let the Vice Sect Leader make the call on whether to hold firm or withdraw.”

“Yes, Senior Luo Cha. Moreover, there’s another matter, it seems we’ve lost all contact with the Southern Border squad. Using secret techniques, we received no response, suggesting they may have perished.”

“Southern Border is… the Ghost-Faced Squad? Let it be, if that bunch of idiots died, then so be it, it’s not important.”
