Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 990: Chapter 401 Confidence Comes from Strength, Drive Off the Tiger and Swallow the Wolf

News released by the Flame Alliance!

The moment these words were spoken, even Sima Huiniang, who had seen much of the world and had excellent composure over the years, seemed somewhat pale.

They all knew what it implied!

It was a deliberate target by a Golden Core Great Sect, seeking to destroy Luo Tian Creed through the hands of others!

However, why would a grand Golden Core Great Sect so deliberately target the merely Luo Tian Creed?

Her gaze subconsciously fell upon Luo Chen.

The answer lay right before her eyes.

Luo Chen sighed, ”It seems, even with Ice Castle and Luo Yun Sect taking the lead, the Flame Alliance won’t let go easily of my killing Di Wanyun!”

Sima Huiniang bit her lip with a look of worry.

Su Xiaolin stood there with her head lowered, her heart filled with an incessant storm of shock since learning the news.

Now, receiving direct confirmation from Luo Chen only intensified the turmoil in her heart.

They couldn’t possibly let it go!

On the battlefield, although everyone fights for their own masters, there is no right or wrong.

Even if there are deadly feuds, at least until the two Ascendant Sects have determined a clear winner, everyone still cares about face.

But Luo Chen’s killing of Di Wanyun had gone beyond the norm of battlefield skirmishes.

This was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator killing a Golden Core Ascendant Master!

Moreover, Luo Chen was only a Sixth Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the time, while Di Wanyun was a powerful Third Layer Golden Core. Except for encounters with Late Golden Core Stage Great Cultivators, Di Wanyun was an existence that feared little.

Yet, he perished so easily at Luo Chen’s hands.

It was an outright slap to the face of the Flame Alliance, a Golden Core Great Sect!

It challenged their authority, tarnished their reputation, and would make outsiders underestimate the strength of Flame Alliance Cultivators.

Such humiliation, nobody could tolerate.

Sima Huiniang worriedly said, ”Won’t a Golden Core from the Flame Alliance personally take action against us?”

That was her greatest concern.

But Luo Chen just curled his lips in response.

”That won’t happen, the most basic face-saving measures will still be observed by these Golden Core Great Sects.”

Seeing Sima Huiniang’s confusion, he hinted at two names.

”Yu Ding Sword Sect, Lianyun Business Union.”

The woman was startled, then fell into contemplation.

After a while, she understood.

Indeed, Great Sects each have their own pride.

If directly offended, they would suppress with thunderous methods.

But if not, it would be too degrading for a Great Sect to take action personally.

Among Sects of the same level, it would only draw ridicule.

Just like when the Sword Sect suspected the Lianyun Business Union and Luo Yun Sect of underhanded transactions, no action was seen from them.

Of course, not taking action directly doesn’t mean letting things slide.

The Sword Sect merely needed to express a slight intention, and there would be people eager to deal with the Lianyun Business Union for them.

And that’s what happened.

The Lianyun Business Union suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of a multitude of second-tier forces, losing cities and territories.

Originally, they had a Golden Core Patriarch, three Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, and over ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators within!

Under their command, they had clear and covert business dealings in over a dozen marketplaces.

They were considered a first-tier force!

Yet in the end, the patron was tragically killed, only the Great Elder Lianyun of the three Great Cultivators survived, and those more than ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were almost entirely wiped out.

In the end, only six or seven Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were left.

Even Nangong Jin and Li Yixian, such freelance Rogue Cultivators, were eagerly recruited by them in an attempt to restore their strength.

It can be said that the Sword Sect did nothing, merely revealing their intentions.

And directly caused a first-tier force to deteriorate into a second-tier force.

And among the second-tier, it was on the weaker side.

Now!

What the Flame Alliance is doing is strikingly similar to what the Sword Sect did back then!

Or even, the methods of the Flame Alliance are somewhat more vicious.
