I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 916: Chapter 505: War in Rock Country_2 Chapter 916: Chapter 505: War in Rock Country_2 Rogue Cultivators’ brazen killings within Fang Market cannot be separated from the culpability of Tie Qingshan, who is in charge of the market.

After Chen Mobai killed the Rogue Cultivators, he naturally sought to hold someone accountable.

No sooner had he spoken than an old man in a cyan-black robe walked out respectfully from the tallest building in the center of Xuan Light Market, accompanied by a group of people.

“Elder Chen, our ancestor is not in the market at the moment; I am the third elder of the Tie family, Iron Qishan…”

“I’m giving Tie Qingshan the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he doesn’t come see me within that time, there will be no need for the Tie family to exist anymore.”

Chen Mobai glanced down at Iron Qishan without bothering to listen to his explanation. He said coldly and then gestured for Zhou Bingyan below to light an incense stick.

“Please forgive us, Elder Chen. Our family’s territory and the teleportation array here have been sabotaged by a traitor, and upon hearing the news, Ancestor Qingshan has already set out personally towards here…”

“That counts as an excuse, I suppose. But the incense is burning, and what I have said cannot be taken back. If he’s not here when the time is up, then the Tie family should step aside from managing Xuan Light Market.”

Chen Mobai in the Eastern Wasteland was indeed an unrivalled, authoritative figure, and such was necessary to keep the people here in check.

Having finished speaking, he descended from the rooftop.

Zhou Bingyan had long since ordered a chair and table to be brought out, and the incense was lit on the table.

“The rest of the Sect Disciples, go outside and sort out the belongings of the Rogue Cultivators. Come over here and tell me about the situation in Rock Country, the war between our sect and Nanxuan sect.”

As soon as Chen Mobai finished his sentence, the Divine Wood Sect disciples who were lined up immediately looked delighted. The called-upon Zhou Bingyan also excitedly walked over and began to recount in greater detail.

A year ago, Nanxuan sect used the disappearance of a Sect Disciple in Northern Abyss Market as a pretext to demand Yue Zutao to open the Formation, allowing them to enter and search.

Of course, they were not permitted. Friction started between the two sides, and eventually, a Nascent Soul Ancestor from Nanxuan sect came over to exert pressure. It was only after Fu Zongjue stepped in and confronted Nanxuan Jing that both sides backed down.

However, the matter did not end there. The disciples from both sects began to eye each other with hostility in Rock Country, with cases of mysterious disappearances and killings occurring frequently.

There was even an incident where a Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator encountered an ambush—despite managing to escape using two secret techniques, they suffered severe damage to their vital energy and could advance no further for the rest of their lives.

Although the perpetrator wasn’t captured on the spot, the Techniques used were from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. This stirred up public sentiment, and several Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Divine Wood Sect in Rock Country were on the verge of declaring war on the Nanxuan sect.

Fortunately, Yue Zutao had clear judgment and realized that this was a deliberate ploy by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. They might have intentionally spared the Divine Wood Cultivator’s life to force the Divine Wood Sect to strike first against Nanxuan sect.

After reporting to Elder Fu, he suppressed the internal clamor and pinned the blame for the incident on demon Path Rogue Cultivators.

Yet, with their patience at the Divine Wood Sect, the Nanxuan sect grew increasingly brazen and began to provoke them more frequently.

At the end of last year, as is customary, South Profound Sect’s Treasure-Colored Market held its auction. A former True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect gathered all his life savings to win a Foundation Building Pill.

To his dismay though, after paying the Spirit Stones, he was not given the pill.

The reason given by Treasure-Colored Market was that the identity of the Divine Wood Sect Disciple was problematic; his future actions might endanger the Nanxuan sect, so the pill could not be given to him.

If they weren’t going to give it, that was one thing, but they refused to refund the Spirit Stones as well.

The Divine Wood Sect disciple was so infuriated that he cursed out loud at the auction, and the originally smirking manager of the Treasure-Colored Market turned hostile at being insulted and wielded his Flying Sword to kill the Divine Wood Sect Disciple on the spot.

This incident took place in front of a large crowd and immediately caused a huge uproar.

Once the news spread, not even Yue Zutao, let alone Chu Zuoshu, the Sect Leader, could suppress the rising tide of public opinion within the sect.

The petitions demanding war with Nanxuan sect could no longer be held off.

This was also a matter of Divine Wood Sect’s dignity as a great sect; ignoring the situation could lead to the ridicule of all Eastern Wasteland Cultivators, and Divine Wood Sect would forever be labeled as cowardly in the eyes of Loose Cultivators and the lower levels of Cultivators.

“At the beginning, Town Guard Yue still intended to prevent this war and personally went to the Treasure-Colored Market to demand the Nanxuan sect turn over the murderer…”

Zhou Bingyan began to recount the events at the onset of the war. Being the Town Guard of Rock Country, Yue Zutao was undeniably capable and aware that once the war began, the Divine Wood Sect would yet again suffer severe damage to its core strength after only just recovering.

Unfortunately, the Nanxuan sect was dead set on waging war against the Divine Wood Sect, and Yue’s intervention only resulted in humiliation.

He even almost couldn’t make it out of the Treasure Color Market.

After Yue Zutao’s difficult escape, the war became inevitable, and the Divine Wood Sect began to call in cultivators from their six subordinate countries, pouring endlessly into Northern Abyss City in the Rock Country.

Then came the departure of Fu Zongjue from Giant Tree Ridge as he left his true body behind to personally oversee the Rock Country.

Over the course of a year, both sects had directly clashed several times. Although the Divine Wood Sect had more people, the Nanxuan Sect was after all born from the formidable Eastern Yi Clan, with their war arrays being even more exquisite, managing to hold their own against the Divine Wood Sect despite the numerical disadvantage.

“Qingshan pays his respects to Elder Chen!”

While Chen Mobai and Zhou Bingyan were talking, a muscular man, gasping slightly and surrounded by a group of people, came over.

This man was none other than Tie Qingshan, a practitioner of body cultivation.

Chen Mobai looked up at the incense stick on the table, which had just burned out before this moment.

He said indifferently, “Time’s up.”

“Please forgive me, Elder Chen. A traitor emerged from our family, and a guest elder who had been hiding for over a decade destroyed our teleportation array. Otherwise, I would have arrived the moment I could, not allowing such a thing to happen.”

Tie Qingshan approached a bit nervously. Although he held some renown in Sky Country, compared to the eminent top Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect before him, he was nothing.

“I said, time’s up!”

Chen Mobai repeated the statement. Tie Qingshan, the large man, stood still as sweat dripped from his forehead.

“Elder Chen, I’ve come as quickly as I could, and the time of this incense stick is almost right. These are to atone for my sins…”

As Tie Qingshan spoke, he took a storage bag from a family elder and offered it.

He did not dare to give it directly to Chen Mobai, so he handed it to Zhou Bingyan, who also did not dare to take it without Chen Mobai’s permission.

“I always keep my word.”

Chen Mobai spoke softly, then stood up, his right hand already resting on the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist.

The disciples of the Tie family, who had witnessed headless corpses all the way, suddenly turned pale and looked towards Tie Qingshan in despair.

“Elder Chen, in the war that demolished Shake Mountain Peak, I also led the Tie family disciples to shed blood under your command. Won’t you show even a bit of leniency?”

Tie Qingshan, too, reached the Foundation Building Realm through life and death combat. Truly cornered, he no longer acted timidly. His words carried a hint of toughness, his stature upright and his eyes filled with a trace of anger.

“Oh…”

Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai instead smiled.

However, he soon realized he hadn’t revealed his Core Formation cultivation level. In Tie Qingshan’s eyes, he was still the invincible Foundation Establishment Chen Guixian.

Both being of the Foundation Building Realm, and as Sky Country’s number one cultivator in the late phase of Foundation Establishment specialising in body cultivation, it seemed Tie Qingshan also had some confidence in himself, thinking about confronting Chen Mobai.

At that moment, Tie Qingshan stopped pretending to be out of breath. His spiritual power erupted, and a dark cyan armor appeared on him. After draping it on, it faintly gave off the aura of Ji Dingjin.

Witnessing this, the Divine Wood Sect disciples, who were collecting the storage bags from rogue cultivators, also became tense.

After all, this was the Tie family’s main camp.

But Zhou Bingyan remained calm, as she was well aware of Chen Mobai’s capabilities.

In the Foundation Building Realm, he was invincible.

“Interesting, after leaving for a few years, there are Foundation Establishment practitioners who dare to defy me!”

With a hearty laugh, Chen Mobai stood up, and then an incredible surge of power emerged, instantly crushing Tie Qingshan’s sturdy frame.
