Meeting Yunhua Again
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Friends." Huang Chunhua returned the greeting with a cheerful smile, his face bearing a gentle, harmless smile that could easily deceive those who didn't know him.
Huang Chunhua was naturally aware of the subtle attitudes of Yang Haoyu and Liu Changsheng. In fact, as his "glorious deeds" spread over the years, his reputation had long been ruined.
However, Huang Chunhua didn't care at all. He was an extremely self-centered person. In his view, the most reliable thing in the world was never so-called emotions and morality, but real interests.
As long as he remains the head of the Huang Household and has a sufficiently large chain of interests behind him, no matter what others think of him, when it's time to cooperate, they won't hesitate because of his reputation.
Moreover, the Cultivation World ultimately values strength above all else, and over the years he has almost saved enough Spirit Stones to purchase a "Golden Core Formation Pill" cultivation technique.
Once he successfully breaks through to the Golden Core, no matter how much these Foundation Establishment Cultivators look down on him now, won't they still have to respectfully address him as Senior Huang when they meet him?
Huang Chunhua believed that he was right. He thought that everyone should look out for themselves, and what did his Lineage matter? They were just a pawn and a passerby on the road of Great Dao.
Although their thoughts differed, they maintained a friendly demeanor. After exchanging greetings, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators began to chat.
After exchanging only a few words, Yang Haoyu asked with some doubt, "Daoist Friends Yun, are there no Golden Core cultivators involved in this operation? As far as I know, there's a high possibility that there are Golden Core Devil Cultivators Concealment within the Black Sha Sect."
Upon hearing this, the other Foundation Establishment also shifted their gaze to Yun Zhan.
No one would take a lightly matter concerning their own safety and that of their clansmen.
"Rest assured, everyone, the Golden Core cultivators of my Luochuan Sect are on their way and will not delay this operation." Yun Zhan naturally understood the concerns of the Foundation Establishment, and with a hearty laugh, he patted his chest to assure them.
Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment's expressions softened, and they continued chatting as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, the Old Ancestor went to the inner circle, while Yang Tianyou, along with his Lineage members, casually found a place to sit.
Before long, a youthful and beautiful figure came into view. Liu Siyu was wearing a red dress, with a hot and attractive figure. She was surrounded by a faint but powerful aura of Foundation Establishment. It seemed that this Fire Spirit Fairy had not been idle either. With the support of her Lineage, she had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment.
Seeing the graceful figure approaching him, Yang Tianyou stood up to greet her, smiling and praising, "I didn't expect that in just over a month, Fairy Liu has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment. Congratulations!"
"Brother Yang, didn't you also break through to the Foundation Establishment? Besides, you were already able to kill Foundation Establishment Foreign Races when you were in the Qi Refining Realm. Now that you've broken through, your strength must have undergone a tremendous Bloodline Metamorphosis." Liu Siyu blinked her bright, watery eyes, her beautiful face beaming with a wide smile, looking very happy.
Upon hearing the beautiful woman's address to him, Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't respond. Instead, he changed the subject, pointing to a group of cultivators not far away, and asked softly, "May I ask, Fairy Liu, who are these people? Why are they dressed as soldiers? They don't seem to be cultivators from my Dragon Valley County."
"According to the Old Ancestor, they are all from the military of the Sun-Moon Empire in the Myriad Nations Region, and are directly under the Duke of Ying Zhang Household."
"I don't know what kind of power the Zhang Household has, but I imagine they are much stronger than the Three Rivers Sect. After all, if it were a country, the title of Duke would already be considered a high-ranking and powerful position, right?" Liu Siyu guessed.
"The Sun-Moon Empire, the Duke of Ying Zhang Household..." Yang Tianyou murmured softly, his eyes gleaming.
He sensed danger in those people, and not just one, but three.
In other words, the opposing side has three cultivators who can threaten Yang Tianyou.
It should be noted that he is capable of killing Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators. For him to sense danger, the cultivator must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, or even higher.
This doesn't even include the dark-faced man who was talking to the Old Ancestor. The strength of the Duke of Ying Zhang Household, the Duke of Ying, is only the tip of the iceberg, yet it is already comparable to the Yang Household. One can imagine how terrifying they must be at their peak.
"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!" Yang Tianyou sighed inwardly, but he was not discouraged. He had full confidence in his Lineage and believed that one day the Yang Household would also be so powerful.
Besides the Duke of Ying Zhang Household, the Luochuan Sect also sent eight Foundation Establishment cultivators and fifteen Qi Refining cultivators. Each cultivator was full of energy and their eyes shone brightly. Judging from their aura, they were no weaklings.
As the unrest in Luochuan Commandery was gradually quelled, the Luochuan Sect continuously dispatched personnel to support its subordinate counties, and the situation began to turn around.
In fact, it wasn't just Luochuan Sect; the situation in the entire Qin Province and the neighboring Qing Province began to reverse. As the war potential of the Northern River Region was gradually unearthed, coupled with the lack of successors among the Foreign Races and Devil Cultivators, the counterattack of the Immortal Dao forces had unknowingly begun.
Some clever Foreign Races and Devil Cultivator cultivators have begun to quietly shrink their troop lines, preparing for retreat or defense.
Those forces, still oblivious and basking in the jubilation and arrogance brought about by the breaching of Human Race territory, were unaware that they had already stepped into Abyss.
Aside from the Luochuan Sect, the Duke of Ying Zhang Household, and the Yang and Liu Households, the last Immortal Dao force is the weakest.
At the Peach Blossom Town Huang Household, Yang Tianyou looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Unlike the other cultivators who were full of momentum, the cultivators sent by the Peach Blossom Town Huang Household were not only weak, with only one Foundation Establishment (not accompanied by Huang Chunhua), but their morale was also terrible.
Everyone looked like wilted eggplants, showing little fighting spirit. It didn't feel like going to the battlefield; it felt more like going to the execution ground.
Strangely, the Huang Household actually sent twenty Qi Refining cultivators. What were they thinking? Even if they wanted to Merit, they shouldn't risk the lives of their clansmen. Devil Cultivators are not pigs or dogs to be slaughtered at will.
Yang Tianyou frowned but didn't say much. However, he made up his mind that once the war started, he would make sure his clansmen stayed away from the Huang Household to avoid being implicated.
Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and suddenly a faint pressure filled the entire area. Before anyone knew it, a peerless beauty appeared in the pavilion.
With a graceful and elegant demeanor, bright white teeth, and a captivating figure, she was truly a Peerless Beauty. The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of all the cultivators present.
Admiring and infatuated gazes came from all directions, but Yunhua remained unmoved. She glanced at Liu Siyu standing next to Yang Tianyou, her clear eyes showing a slight ripple, which quickly disappeared.
For some reason, Yang Tianyou suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the joy he had felt from reuniting with his beloved dissipated considerably.
"What's going on? Who's eyeing me?" After racking his brains for a solution, he could only refocus his gaze on Yunhua's slender and graceful figure, his eyes revealing undisguised desire.
