Chapter 1486: Chapter 1445: Storm is Coming

“Almost, it’s time.”

Provincial city, Han family.

In the dimly lit room, several figures could be vaguely seen huddled together, the atmosphere eerie, as if they were plotting something.

“We eat a man’s salary, we bear his worries. We’ve taken so many resources, now it’s time for us to pay back.”

“Isn’t it a bit rushed to take action so soon? Don’t forget, Lu Chuan could return at any moment. If he discovers we’re colluding… it could lead to another complete purge!”

“Lu Chuan went to the Penglai Immortal Domain and hasn’t had any news since, maybe he’s dead in there. We can’t let one person affect the big picture. Moreover, aren’t they prepared as well? Once we act, countless forces within Cathay will rise up. Even if Lu Chuan returns now, what can he do?

I refuse to believe he can clean out all the forces within Cathay by himself; ultimately, one person can’t sustain it all!”

The man hidden completely in shadows exhaled deeply, took out a waist tag engraved quickly with the word ‘Lin,’ and gently placed it on the table.

“Everyone, this is the opportunity we’ve long awaited. If we seize it, from now on we won’t have to look at other people’s faces nor fight over cultivation resources. The fact is, opening the passage to the Small World is the only way. I’ve already discussed it with others, at midnight tomorrow, the time to act is upon us!”

…

Demon Tribe, Royal City!

Yun Ji furrowed her brow, looking at the pile of beast heads forming a Capital View in front of her, she said in a heavy voice: “Fuxiang, have they been cleaned up thoroughly?”

“Those who exposed themselves, their heads are all here. As for whether there are more deeply hidden traitors, I’m not sure.”

“Well, good! Their hands have reached into my Demon Tribe. Even a little temptation they cannot resist. Since they believed someone else’s promises, they must pay the price for it! Hang these heads outside the Royal City, let those with ill intentions see, though the Demon Tribe has long harbored enmity with the Human Clan, I absolutely do not allow betrayal within the Demon Tribe!

Discontent with the Human Clan led to alliances with outsiders? What nonsense! Additionally, send someone to inform Lu Chuan about this; let him be extremely careful, some people are already restless and beginning to stir.”

“But Miss, hasn’t Lu Chuan gone to the Penglai Immortal Domain?”

“He’s already back, currently residing in the Profound Sect.”

Mentioning this, Yun Ji couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

He’s returned, but didn’t come to see me or visit Fuxiang, truly a lust-driven vile man!

Noticing the affectionate look in Fuxiang’s eyes, Yun Ji sighed lightly and said in a solemn voice: “Enough, go personally tell Lu Chuan, with me here in the Demon Tribe, these rats won’t be able to overturn everything for now.”

“Miss…”

“Go quickly, if you don’t, should I send someone else?”

“I’m going, Fuxiang will set off right away!”

…

Qingyang City, Azure Dragon Academy.

Nalan Xuan sat up, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Clearly, everything seemed peaceful lately, but she had a persistent feeling of unrest, as if… something was about to happen.

“Strange, what’s wrong with me?”

“I say, sister, why are you suddenly sitting up in the middle of the night, it’s really frightening you know?”

Seemingly noticing Nalan Xuan’s oddity, Xiu Niang sat up, her fragrant shoulder half-revealed, casting a resentful glance at Nalan Xuan.

“Lately, have there been any abnormalities at the academy?”

“Abnormalities? The biggest abnormality is you, always being so mysterious. Who knows, it seemed like you were targeted by some filthy thing.”

“Recently, I’ve often had the same nightmare. In the dream, I… seem to die in Lu Chuan’s arms, and you end up beheaded. Strange, why would I have such dreams?”

Upon hearing this, Xiu Niang was instantly shocked, angrily saying: “Hey, don’t curse me, what kind of nonsensical dream is that? It’s too unlucky, I say, you probably just want a man, that’s why your mind is wandering every day. If Lu Chuan comes to sleep with you a few times, your mind won’t have room for anything else.”

“…I’m not joking, Xiu Niang, I feel… the Azure Dragon Academy might not be as safe as it seems, you should leave tomorrow, find somewhere safe.”

“You’re not kidding me, right? What’s going on? Tell me clearly!”

“I don’t know… I just feel like something is coming.”

Nalan Xuan stood up, looking out the window under the bright moonlight, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes.

…

Penglai Immortal Domain, Immortal Sect.

“Why not… wait a little longer? That Kong Yuanliang suddenly returned to the Immortal Sect and now doesn’t seem to intend to leave; acting rashly might not be wise?”

“If you’re afraid, get lost! What is Kong Yuanliang? Don’t forget, Lord Lin has promised us, after we help him open that door, once he takes over the secular world, he will reward us with the Penglai Immortal Domain! This is our chance to turn things around; do you want to spend your life being trampled underfoot?

Lord Lin bestowed upon us cultivation techniques, resources, even precious items like Blood Pills to help us enhance our cultivation and nurture our troops for a time! Now is the time to repay Lord Lin!

Tomorrow at midnight, the action begins, the first target is Kong Yuanliang, Kong Zhaozhao father and daughter. As for the others willing to submit, bring them over; if not willing, killing them is no big deal, there truly is a surplus of people in Penglai Immortal Domain.”

…

The following morning, in the Profound Sect!

Lu Chuan awoke from his sleep, breathing heavily, a lingering sense of dread in his heart, inadvertently waking Situ Qinghuan beside him. She opened her eyes, gently wrapped his neck, and soothingly asked: “Lu Chuan, are you alright?”

“Qinghuan, currently how is the battle strength of the Profound Sect?”

“Why are you suddenly asking this?”

“First answer me, it’s very important!”

“Currently, there is one Spirit Splitting Realm disciple in the Profound Sect, he’s grandfather’s direct disciple, and now an honorary elder of the sect, aside from me, the person with the highest status and most power. There are also seventeen Nascent Soul Realm individuals, all are law transmission elders and true disciples of the Profound Sect; as for the rest, most are in the Golden Core Realm, Lu Chuan, what’s going on?”

Lu Chuan pinched between his brows, troubled, and said: “Qinghuan, I may need to leave the Profound Sect temporarily, I’m worried about others, I will quickly bring everyone to the Profound Sect. Grandfather once told me, some people from the Small World have already entered Earth, my intuition tells me they’ve long been unable to hold back, just waiting for the time to fully reveal their claws.”

“Hmm, I understand, you can go with ease, Lu Chuan, I’ll find a way to contact grandfather. With grandfather presiding over the Profound Sect, there’s no place safer than the Profound Sect.”
