Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 240 - 154: The - of Scheming - Raising an Army

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Over the past few days, the landscape of the earth had changed dramatically.
Almost everywhere were silver trees and golden flowers, and the ground was crimson red, made of red iron.
The mountains were abundant with bronze, and the rivers flowed with mercury.
Chen Qing stood on such ground, gaining some insights regarding the awakening of the Miao God.
The Miao God foresaw that the entire Nanli would be engulfed in flames of war, so transformed the entire land into this state to reduce the destruction caused by war.
At the same time, mortals without cultivation would turn into copper and iron people, to some extent preventing cultivators from wantonly killing the innocent.
From this perspective, the Miao God was indeed a righteous deity.
Cultivators choosing to slaughter each other was their decision, while mortals were innocent, and the earth was innocent.
Zhang Can had a relatively clear view of the situation. He clearly knew that those qualified to contend with Yan Shiyin were only himself, Hao Chengtian, and Chen Qing.
Only these three had the qualifications to rally the major tribes to come and ally with them to fight Yan Shiyin.
In his view, Hao Chengtian was no match for Yan Shiyin, and he was indebted to Chen Qing for saving his life.
Besides, whether Hao Chengtian could survive was still a question.
During those days with Chen Qing, he had also discovered that Chen Qing was from the Jiguang Sect, which held many advantages in Nanli.
There was also something divine about him. Evil ghosts actually followed his orders!
He scrutinized Chen Qing, perhaps he had the capability to block Yan Shiyin's campaign.
"You don't have to worry, Yan Shiyin has gone too far, as long as you give these major tribes a way out, they will surely choose you over Yan Shiyin."
Chen Qing was also contemplating that once he stepped in to save this person, it would mean he intended to walk forward and compete with Yan Shiyin.
The original plan of the Jiguang Sect was likely to hide his identity until he reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and had enough certainty to enter the Death Realm and take over the Jiguang Sect's powers in secret.
Moreover, on the other side of the void, Chen Qing had a few guesses. It was likely hoping for him to use the identity of the Master of Mortal World to seize control of the Jiguang Sect, or even to completely control it.
Then reveal himself to Chen Qing.
The void side's plan seemed to be to use Jiguang Sect's resources to nurture him while taking over the remaining forces of the Jiguang Sect.
So, they never frankly met with him.
Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of Yan Shiyin completely disrupted the Jiguang Sect's plan.
Chen Qing now had to step into the foreground.
Otherwise, it was highly likely that this territory of the Jiguang Sect in Nanli would be seized by Yan Shiyin for a large number of Foundation Establishment Great Perfections.
Chen Qing took a step forward, "One per person, quickly and decisively!"
After speaking, Chen Qing charged straight out, immediately calling out the Great River Sword, raising a Sword Qi River towards the two Loose Cultivator Foundation Establishments pursuing Ling Gaozhi.
With one sweep of the sword, heads fell to the ground.
Zhang Can also swiftly pierced through the opponent's Protective Spirit Energy with a clean and efficient heart-piercing strike, directly killing!
Chen Qing reached out and grabbed the two souls, holding them in his hand.
Ling Gaozhi, seeing Chen Qing and Zhang Can's bold action, was overjoyed that they swiftly killed two Foundation Establishments in an instant, "Many thanks to you two masters for saving me!"
Chen Qing casually waved his hand and said, "Head south quickly, you shouldn't stay here long."
After finishing, Chen Qing waved his hand, unleashing two flares to burn the two corpses on the ground completely.
After they walked far away, Zhang Can asked, "Why not tell him our names?"
Chen Qing replied, "If he were caught, it would expose us, creating unnecessary complications."
"Besides, if he manages to escape to the south successfully, he'll naturally meet me then, and he will pledge allegiance to me."
"Also, I am waiting for news."
The Jiguang Sect knew of his whereabouts and would undoubtedly send a large number of people to cover him at this moment.
He was waiting for news from the Jiguang Sect, whether or not to raise an army to confront Yan Shiyin.
All the way south, after passing this section, they finally had the chance to fly and hurry on their journey, faster than before.
After seven days of travel, they could finally see Dao Origin Land from afar. Looking at the smokey Dao Origin Land ahead, Chen Qing barely let out a sigh of relief.
Letting out a long breath, just as Chen Qing was about to proceed, he suddenly discovered a troop ahead, with no less than two hundred Foundation Establishments.
Zhang Can was about to continue forward but was stopped by Chen Qing's outstretched hand, "There's someone ahead."
Zhang Can turned his head, "Unfriendly visitor?"
Chen Qing chuckled, "Those with good intentions don't come."
If not to intercept and kill them, why come here?
Seemingly because the two did not move, the people in the dense forest no longer hid and charged straight out, intending to surround the two of them.
"Qingxu, today will be your death day!"
Chen Qing laughed wildly, "Yan Shiyin, you really think highly of me!"
The leading person rode a white horse, dressed in white, with a white cape fluttering behind, and a black tiger embroidered on the chest.
Cheng Tianyou pointed his sword at Chen Qing's head, "Ying Xiaoxiao, Chou Ying, neither managed to kill me, this task shall earn me this great merit!"
"As long as I behead you, I will become the foremost of the four great generals under the Lord!"
Chen Qing smilingly asked, "How much is my head actually worth?"
Cheng Tianyou pointed with the sword at Zhang Can, "His head, one spirit Gu, three million spirit stones, and can independently lead an army under the Lord!"
Cheng Tianyou continued, "You, three spirit Gus, five million spirit stones, whoever chops off your head will be the chief among the generals!"
Chen Qing sighed softly, "I had no intention of vying for supremacy, why force me to this extent!"
