Wei Immortal Clan

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

On this day, three thousand miles west of the Bianyang Mountains, a majestic Spirit Mountain, a thousand feet tall, stood tall.

This mountain is called Tiane Peak, and its Spirit Vein are of the Tier 2 upper grade. It is the mountain gate of the Wei Immortal Clan.

As the leader of the five Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Boyang Commandery, the Wei Clan is quite Bu Fan. The Lineage has not only eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators, but also two Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

With this strength alone, the Wei Immortal Clan is enough to rival half of Yu Commandery.

Compared to Yu Commandery, which is close to the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wilderness, Boyang Commandery is much more prosperous in the cultivation Immortal Realm. It is somewhat similar to Feng Commandery, but it only has five Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan. The main reason is that the Wei Clan monopolizes six Second-Order Spirit Vein.

This is only because the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan is suppressing Boyang Commandery; otherwise, the Wei Immortal Clan would probably have already occupied half of Boyang Commandery by now.

At this moment, several figures stood inside the Clan Main Hall of the Wei Immortal Clan.

These individuals were all at least at the mid- Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, each possessing a powerful aura, and were all renowned figures in Boyang Commandery.

Just then, a man dressed in a Daoist robe looked at the man beside him and asked, "What is the purpose of summoning us here today?"

"This is no small matter." The man, whose cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, smiled and said, "Not long ago, I received intelligence that a miniature Darksteel Ore Vein had been discovered in Yu Commandery."

"The Xuan Darksteel Ore Vein in Yu Commandery?" Someone frowned and couldn't help but say, "That's a matter for the major immortal clans of Yu Commandery. What does it have to do with us?"

The man smiled slightly and then said, "What if that Darksteel Ore Vein is actually less than seven thousand miles away from us?"

"Within seven thousand miles!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a hint of joy.

A beautiful woman standing nearby nodded and said, "If it's within seven thousand miles, then we can indeed give it a shot."

This beautiful woman was one of the two Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators of the Wei Clan, and her words were practically a decision.

Just then, the Wei Clan clan patriarch opened his eyes without making a sound and finally spoke.

Who owns the Darksteel Ore Vein now?

The man replied, "They say it's the Chen Clan of Qingyuan Mountain."

"The Chen Clan?" The Wei Clan clan patriarch shook his head. "There's no need to discuss this matter further. We're better off without this mine."

Why?

"That's Darksteel Ore Vein."

The group was somewhat unwilling to give up, and the man couldn't help but ask.

The crowd was puzzled, and the beautiful woman said, "With our strength, surely we can take down the mere Chen Clan?"

"If it were any other Lineage in Yu Commandery, even if it were the Lin Clan that occupied the mine, we could just seize it directly, but the Chen Clan is different."

The Wei Clan clan chief shook his head and continued, "Border Province doesn't have much contact with our Yang Province, so you probably don't know much about the Chen Immortal Clan."

"That Chen Changxuan is Tier 2 high-grade array master. He possesses a set of Soul-Burning Separation Fire Formation, which is said to be invincible even for three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators working together."

"And then there's Chen Nianzhi, who reached Self-Foundation Establishment at just over twenty years old. In the past ten years, he has killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment from both the human and demon races. It's clear that his methods are even more ruthless than Chen Changxuan's."

"Such a formidable killing star, if he doesn't perish prematurely, he probably has a 50-60% chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion."

"We are not confident in killing it. Provoking such an enemy for a Darksteel Ore Vein would be a recipe for disaster."

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on their backs. Most Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it difficult to kill a cultivator of the same level in their entire lives, and people with such ruthless methods as Chen Nianzhi were truly rare.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are generally very good at escaping. Even when surrounded by two or three cultivators of the same level, they are very confident of escaping. Not everyone can be like Chen Nianzhi, who can always seize fleeting opportunities to kill his enemies.

The beautiful woman was speechless for a moment, then said with some lingering fear, "That Chen Nianzhi dared to Self-Foundation Establishment at only twenty years old; he must be a ruthless person. It would have been unwise to provoke him rashly."

Seeing that he had dispelled everyone's thoughts, the Feng Clan chief nodded and then turned to look at the man who had given the report.

Is the messenger still alive?

The man wiped his sweat and quickly said, "The man was about to leave after giving his information, but I've stopped him."

"That makes things easier." The Feng Clan chief turned to look at everyone and said with a smile, "Capture that person, and I will personally deliver him to the Chen Clan as a welcoming gift."

"We and the Chen Clan are both immortal clans of the Chu Kingdom. If we can be on good terms, we might be able to help each other in the future."

"..."

On this day, at Darksteel Mountain.

With a clang, Chen Nianzhi unleashed the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword, carving a hundred-foot-long sword mark into the mountain.

He is reshaping the terrain, using the immortal sword to open up mountain paths, creating a suitable living environment for mortals in the future.

Not only him, but in order to transform the environment of Darksteel Mountain and eliminate the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountain, almost all of the Late Stage of Qi Refining cultivators of the Chen Clan were transferred here, and even Chen Qinghao came here to help.

There's nothing we can do about it. The environment in the Eastern Wasteland is harsh, especially in these remote Second-Order Spirit Vein inhabited by Demon Beast. Nourished by Spiritual Qi, many of the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts there are extremely fierce.

If it's not cleaned up properly, even if ten thousand people are moved here, they probably won't survive more than a few months.

After the poisonous insects are cleared out, an array will be set up on Darksteel Mountain to repel them, and insect-repelling powder will be sprinkled on it regularly. Then it will be suitable for mortals to live in.

In fact, the journey to relocate would not be easy. Even if the Lineage arranged for a large number of cultivators to take good care of them along the way, and even if they were covered in insect repellent powder, it is estimated that only 70% or 80% would survive to reach this point.

This is cruel, but also realistic. The Lineage has protected its members, and these descendants of the Chen Immortal Clan must also make sacrifices for the Lineage.

"Sigh, let's move fewer people. Just three thousand, and let them live and multiply here."

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Nianzhi thought to himself.

Just then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at the distant sky.

A streak of light streaked across the sky, heading straight for Darksteel Mountain.

"Snort--"

In an instant, a large cauldron flew out from Darksteel Mountain. It was actually the Array Instrument, Ji-Earth Abyss-Sinking Cauldron. This cauldron opened up an earthen-yellow light barrier to protect the Spirit Mountain.

At the same time, the Azure Wood Divine Thunder Banner flew out again, with the faint outline of the Yi-Wood Divine Thunder gathering momentum.

Just as the Yi-Wood Divine Thunder was about to strike, the stream of light suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the patriarch of the Feng Clan shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please stop immediately. I have no ill intentions."

"Oh."

"Who are you, and what brings you here?"

Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly and stopped the Azure Wood Ji-Earth Formation.

Seeing that he had stopped, the Wei Immortal Clan immortal breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his sword light to the Darksteel Mountain, and then smiled kindly.

"My name is Wei Xuyuan, the patriarch of the Wei Immortal Clan of Mount Tian'e in Boyang Commandery. You need not worry, I have come here with good intentions."

"Don't believe me? Look who this is."

As Wei Xuyuan spoke, he threw out a figure from behind him.

Chen Nianzhi looked closely and realized that the person who had been thrown at him was Chen Nianxu. At this moment, his cousin was lying on the ground in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with shame and unable to meet the eyes of the crowd.
