Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 727: A Storm is Brewing on the Tower
```
Divine Realm.
Heaven's South.
The Jiang Family was originally an ancient family in the Divine Realm. Although Heaven's South Jiang Family was just one of its branches, the family elder, Jiang Yu, had taken root and established a base in Heaven's South millions of years ago, growing and expanding ever since.
Therefore, even as a branch, the Jiang Family of Heaven's South was considered a major clan.
Three years ago, Jiang Yan, the fifteenth son of the Jiang Family, perished in the Divine Wilderness Continent, and with him, dozens of Jiang Family disciples also fell.
Afterwards, the Jiang Family found out through various means that the chief culprit who killed Jiang Yan was a cultivator named Qinchuan.
However, on that day, the family elder was in seclusion, and the Divine Artifact that opened the portal to the Divine Realm was in a cooling period, so they temporarily shelved the matter.
And because they suspected that Qinchuan had two precious Divine Beads in his possession, the Jiang Family even kept the matter hidden and did not publicize it.
At the same time, the Jiang Family warned the disciples still in the Lower Realm, such as Jiang Bing, to be extremely cautious and not to act recklessly again.
But what they never expected was that just as the three-year period was about to come to an end, and the Jiang Family could send their talented disciples to the Lower Realm to assassinate the cultivator known as Qinchuan,
Jiang Bing, who was in the Lower Realm, and the more than ten disciples following him, perished once again.
According to the messages transmitted back by Jiang Bing before, he had discovered Qinchuan's whereabouts and wanted to join forces with others to enter Devil Mountain to suppress Qinchuan.
After that, Jiang Bing's spirit tablet shattered.
Without a doubt, Jiang Bing's death was inextricably linked to Qinchuan.
On this day.
Above the Jiang Family mansion, countless dark clouds gathered together, coalescing into a profound Heavenly Eye.
Within the Heavenly Eye, it was immeasurably deep, as if connecting to an unfathomable universe.
Lightning as thick as a water bucket flickered, emitting a series of loud sizzling noises, quite astonishing.
This was a short-lived wormhole, a passage that could penetrate the Barrier and reach the Divine Wilderness Continent.
At this point, a young man with a commanding presence was bidding farewell to the various elders of the clan, preparing to go to the Lower Realm.
His name was Jiang Chen, and his Cultivation Level was only at the primary stage of Divine Being Realm, which was far from the higher Realm of Jiang Bing and Jiang Yan.
But he was only a mere hundred years old now, while Jiang Yan and Jiang Bing were beings who had lived for over ten thousand years, the gap between them was clear at a glance.
Moreover, Jiang Chen had once, in the Holy's Realm, crossed two Great Ranks consecutively and slain a power in the Sublime Saint Realm. In the Divine Being Realm, he had records of slaying a Heavenly Divine Level powerhouse. He was, without a doubt, a genius in the Jiang Family.
In the Lower Realm, Cultivation Level was suppressed, with the highest only being at the Great Emperor Realm, and it was then that the gap in talent became apparent. Sending Jiang Chen to the Lower Realm would be more effective than sending any of the elders.
It was apparent that the Jiang Family was determined to take down Qinchuan by sending Jiang Chen to the Lower Realm.
And at that moment, several dazzling lights approached from three different directions.
"Jiang Chengfeng, what is the meaning of this? When our four families formed an alliance, we agreed to advance and retreat together. Now that the portal to the Divine Wilderness Continent is open, you didn't even notify us,"
said the first arrival, an elder controlling a sword from the east, with the appearance of a youthful man with white hair, immortal-like aura and a sage-like demeanor. Behind him followed a young man in white robes bearing a longsword, exuding sharpness from his entire being.
His words had barely ended when a warrior dressed in battle attire with a Purple Golden Crown on his head tore through space, bringing along a junior to this place.
His whole body exuded a lofty qi, his gaze sharp, surrounded by billowing Wind qi, pressing down on everyone.
Finally, a Divine Light flashed by and a golden phoenix pulling a carriage arrived, emitting a sonorous and long cry.
The carriage was crafted from White Jade, entwined with mystic ice qi, dazzling with Divine Rainbows, exuding an aura of luxurious mystery.
A ravishing and enchanting barefoot woman gently stepped out, moving gracefully like a Lotus, as if an Immortal had descended to the mortal world, and at that moment, Heaven and Earth seemed to change color.
"Oh dear, I knew when I woke up early this morning that distinguished guests were destined to come."
```
"Who would have thought some unknown wind blew the three of you here!"
Among these three, the one who traveled by sword control was called Ji Jian, an elder of the Ji Family. The man in black battle attire was named Liu You, the patriarch of the Liu Family, and the last woman was naturally the Jin Ling Saintess from the Jin Ling Holy Land.
Seeing the arrival of the trio, Jiang Chengfeng immediately understood what scheme these fellows had in mind.
Originally, the Ji, Jiang, Liu, and Jin Ling Holy Land formed an alliance, established the Divine Alliance, and opened the passage to the Lower Realm, pointing their swords at the entire Divine Wilderness Continent.
Three years ago, in one battle, the powerhouses from their three families had perished.
As such, they were also waiting for the reopening of the passage, to go to the Lower Realm and slay Qinchuan.
Initially, whether Jiang Chen acted alone or all four families struck together, it did not matter—in the hearts of many Jiang Family elders and powerhouses, Qinchuan stood no chance against Jiang Chen.
However, the crux of the issue was that Qinchuan had in his possession two Spiritual Pearls that everyone coveted.
Now that these three families had joined in, apart from seeking vengeance, their intent to vie for the two Spiritual Pearls was especially obvious.
Therefore, the Jiang Family did not inform the other three major clans when they opened the passage. Unexpectedly, these three clans came knocking today of their own accord.
He pretended to be clueless and greeted them with a cheerful smile.
"Such is the Jiang clan leader, still playing the fool at a time like this," Liu You said bluntly and coldly. "That Qinchuan, he killed sixteen of our Liu family sons, I must seek revenge on him!"
"Exactly, three years ago on the Divine Wilderness Continent, my Ji Family also suffered heavy losses. We must annihilate this child," said Ji Jian, who was fairy-like and dignified, with his head raised high.
Both of them had brought along a junior with them—one was Ji Xuan, a genius from the Ji Family who had just broken through to the Divine Being Realm.
The Liu Family brought along a genius of the Divine Being Realm as well, named Liu Fuyi.
Only the Jin Ling Saintess had come alone.
"Although my Jin Ling Holy Land lost only one person, she was the Holy Maiden of our Holy Land. I, the Saintess, have decided to take action personally, to suppress this child with my own hands," she declared.
There were some resemblances between the Jin Ling Saintess and her sister, the Jin Ling Saintess; her eyes shone with a dim golden-yellow hue, her expression as cold as frost.
"The Saintess has decided to take action herself?!"
The elders and patriarchs of the three major families were all taken aback for a moment, looking curiously at the Jin Ling Saintess.
But they soon understood—since the Jin Ling Saintess was the sister of the Jin Ling Saintess, and they had a deep sisterly bond, it was reasonable for her to seek revenge personally.
If the three families had not approached them, the Jiang Family would have definitely let Jiang Chen go to the Lower Realm secretly by himself.
Now that all three major families had shown up, the Jiang Family had no reason or excuse to prevent them from joining.
After all, the four major families were still allies in name.
Thus,
Jiang Chen, Liu Fuyi, the Jin Ling Saintess, and Ji Xuan, four of the current era's geniuses, joined together and stepped into the wormhole passage before them.
...
Meanwhile, in the mysterious Immortal Burial Site.
A young man burst forth from within, his eyes emitting cold and sinister light as he looked down upon the vast earth.
"Good! Good! Good! How bold of you, Qinchuan, to dare to slay this prince! I shall make you pay with blood for blood!"
His voice brimmed with hatred and venom.
This person—
—was none other than Mo Wentian, the mysterious figure from the Immortal Burial who had been decapitated by Qinchuan with a single spear thrust.
