Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2469: Chapter 907: Qi Xia Emperor, Yanfu Mountain’s Fall

”Is it related to me?”

Luo Chen was taken aback. How could it be that the honored guest of the Dark Abyss Sect had anything to do with him?

Full of curiosity, Luo Chen decided to stay on Yanfu Mountain.

Tan Cheng walked out from Tianming Palace and came to Luo Chen’s side.

”Please wait a moment; those guests are still far away and it will take some time for them to arrive.”

Luo Chen asked curiously, ”May I ask who is coming?”

Tan Cheng smiled, ”You’ll naturally know when you see them.”

Alright, even at this point, he’s still keeping secrets.

Luo Chen felt speechless and decided to change his approach to complain.

”Friend Tan, your realm is exceptional; why endure the task of welcoming guests on Yanfu Mountain? With your abilities, whether it’s cultivating inside or taking charge outside, you wouldn’t be overlooked.”

Tan Cheng shrugged his shoulders, saying helplessly, ”Naturally, I don’t wish for this. But now that Yanfu Mountain is under lockdown, all disciples have been sent down, so at least one or two trusted disciples need to stay by the elders’ side.”

His words expressed helplessness, but his tone was quite proud.

In the vast Dark Abyss Sect, the three elders trusted him alone. Though it seemed like hard labor, wasn’t it also a unique honor?

Under the elders’ blessings, he might just be the next Chong Ming, the next Lei Daozi!

This Tan Cheng, among the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators Luo Chen had seen, was relatively pure.

Unlike the Nascent Soul Old Monsters from the North Sea or Eastern Wasteland, he was more akin to those newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators from Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

They were flowers growing in a greenhouse, lacking tempering.

The so-called competition was largely within rule constraints, unlike their battles, which were always cutthroat.

Earlier, Luo Chen had only slightly shown goodwill, and Tan Cheng’s arrogance vanished without a trace, becoming much more approachable.

Using this approach to gather information would be even simpler.

”Why the lockdown?” Luo Chen asked with his thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Tan Cheng hesitated a moment, then whispered, ”You probably know about the Qinghe Immortal, right?”

Luo Chen’s eyebrows furrowed, and his heart shook violently!

Indeed!

Everything from the powerful aura sometimes leaking as he stepped onto the Tianming Palace staircase to the violently churning waves in the Black Pond within the palace indicated the presence of a great being besides the three elders.

Now, having been confirmed by Tan Cheng, Luo Chen could finally be certain that what was suppressed was one of the Three Ancient Demons of the Eastern Wasteland — the Qinghe Immortal!

”Such a dignified Ancient Monster of God Transformation, coming to such a miserable end. If I hadn’t agreed to join the Dark Abyss Sect back then, would it have been the same for me?”

Luo Chen asked himself, and quickly provided an answer.

Naturally not!

Because with his strength, the three great elders would hardly need to go to such lengths.

A flip of the hand to eliminate would suffice!

Thinking in this way, the Heize Ancestor’s occasional disrespectful acts towards him were relatively restrained, weren’t they?

While the two were engaging in detailed conversation, three glints came from afar.

Tan Cheng went out to welcome them, leading the three through layers of arrays up to Yanfu.

And Luo Chen, relying on his excellent eyesight, had already recognized the visitors.

They were indeed related to him.

All were familiar faces!

One of the Star Gate Nineteen Elders, True Master Qideng; head of the Fu Family, Fu Chaosheng; and Ancient Gu Zuokai of the Eastern Wasteland Tianyuan Business Alliance Four Great Elders.

Led by Tan Cheng, the three made their way upwards.

Looking up, they met the gaze cast down from the mountain, and that figure dressed in white.

Upon standing firm, True Master Qideng scoffed.

”Luo Chen, good to see you’re well!”

Luo Chen opened his mouth, only to let out a bitter smile.

”In the Eastern Wasteland, I am unable to act on my own; I hope Elder will understand.”

”Hmph!”

True Master Qideng snorted coldly, waved his hand, and directly bypassed Luo Chen, advancing up the tall stairs towards Tianming Palace under Tan Cheng’s lead.

It was the increasingly aged Fu Chaosheng and Ancient Gu Zuokai who stayed behind.

Face-to-face, they felt quite awkward.

Ancient Gu Zuokai spread out his hands as if to say, ”I knew it would be like this.”

Luo Chen gently shook his head, meeting Fu Chaosheng’s complex gaze.

”Friend, long time no see.”

Fu Chaosheng said with a complex tone, ”Yes, long time no see. I still remember your high-spirited demeanor as you defeated the Daoist Sect prodigies on Heaven and Earth Peak. Who would’ve thought, just decades later, you would be standing on Yanfu Mountain.”

Heaven and Earth Peak, Yanfu Mountain, both are pinnacles of this realm.

The same Luo Chen, the same high spirits.

Yet the allegiance has long changed!

Luo Chen repeated the same, ”Unable to act on my own, it’s not my wish.”

”Understandable, but!” Fu Chaosheng lowered his voice, ”You were first at Heaven and Earth Peak, first a member of Tianyuan Daoist Sect!”

Luo Chen smiled bitterly in resignation.

The identity as a Guest Elder of the Star Gate of Tianyuan Daoist Sect was always useful, except not in the Dark Abyss Sect.

First, the Daoist Sect lured away the Dark Abyss Sect’s Alchemy Saint Chu Yan; now the Dark Abyss Sect, using their own methods, recruited Alchemy Sect Luo Chen. Isn’t this an eye-for-an-eye situation?

Yet the Dark Abyss Sect could endure then; it’s uncertain if Tianyuan Daoist Sect can swallow this bitterness!

Even though they don’t care about someone as insignificant as Luo Chen.

”Why are you here today, rather than Daoist Sect Disciples?”

”Aren’t we considered Daoist Sect Disciples?” Ancient Gu Zuokai joked beside him.

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”That’s not what I meant, just curious why it’s led by Elder Qideng, is it because I’m a Guest Elder of Star Gate?”

Fu Chaosheng nodded, ”Yes, if the Daoist Sect sent a representative directly for negotiations, it would be too straightforward. True Master Qideng’s identity is just right; he’s one of the Star Gate Nineteen Elders, and had a favorable relationship with you initially. The primary reason for this visit is to demonstrate a stance of not allowing any damage to the Star Gate’s reputation, and secondly, to see if we can bring you back.”

”Naturally, that is impossible,” Luo Chen didn’t even need to think and immediately provided an answer.
