Chapter 722: Xian Clan
The absent-minded clan master sat on the ground, unable to think for a moment. After a while, he calmed down and asked: “Then, then, what should we do?”
The Huangfu Clan couldn’t take revenge with the treefather backing Li Qiye. Allpine Mountain had always produced many talents while the treefather had students everywhere in this world. Countless Demon Kings and Stone Saints came under his tutelage! And this was before talking about his own invincible strength.
Although their Huangfu Clan was strong, there was still a huge gap between them and Allpine Mountain that had the treefather.
The World-Pillar Monarch calmed down and said with a deep tone: “Although this Li Qiye has the treefather as his backing, the treefather cannot leave Allpine Mountain — this is common knowledge! Unless Li Qiye never leaves the mountain, we will still have a chance.”
“Virtuous Son-in-law, it is true that the treefather cannot leave Allpine Mountain, but he has countless followers, and some of his disciples even became Virtuous Paragons! Maybe he will order some of his disciples to protect Li Qiye. The treefather isn’t someone to mess with. If he knows that we are attacking someone under his protection, it will bring about a terrible disaster!” Although the clan master wanted nothing more than to eat Li Qiye’s flesh and drink his blood, he still had some sense left in him. The treefather was not to be provoked — this was something known by many people. 1
At this time, the Sacred Ancestor added: “Which is why we need the help from the Alchemy Kingdom.”
The Huangfu Clan Master was excited after hearing this. He immediately sat up and said: “Ancestor is trying to say…”
At this time, the Sacred Ancestor’s eyes fell upon the monarch as he slowly uttered: “We need the help of your Xian Clan’s Alchemy Ancestor!”
The World-Pillar Monarch hesitantly responded after hearing this: “This… I’m afraid it isn’t possible.”
The Xian Alchemy Ancestor was their oldest ancestor. He had always been buried under the ancestral ground of the Alchemy Kingdom. He had not come into being after countless long years. For many generations, their main descendants had not been able to meet this legendary ancestor.
The Sacred Ancestor looked at the monarch and raised his voice: “Can you meet your Alchemy Ancestor?”
The hesitating monarch pondered for a while before answering: “The Xian Clan is divided into several branches. Although my branch is not the main branch, the Xian Clan has a tradition. If the circumstances allow for it, then the main descendant of each branch may meet the Alchemy Ancestor. I have inherited my branch at the moment, so theoretically, I should be able to see the ancestor.”
“Virtuous Son-in-law, go meet your Alchemy Ancestor once!” The clan master happily advised.
The monarch pondered for a moment before replying: “Hmm, meeting the Alchemy Ancestor is not easy… I…”
This matter would be a huge event for their Xian Clan, so his hesitation was understandable.
The Sacred Ancestor declared in a booming voice: “As long as you can accomplish this, the Huangfu Clan will not mistreat you. I shall accept you as a disciple.”
These words shook the monarch! He had heard about the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor before. Rumor has it that he was already a God-Monarch. Worshiping a God-Monarch as a master was an opportunity that one could only come across serendipitously and not seek.
The monarch composed himself with a deep breath before responding in a serious manner: “This junior can go meet the Alchemy Ancestor, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to convince him to come into being! Maybe the Alchemy Kingdom will not allow it either.”
For any lineage, an existence buried underground was a priceless treasure!
“You don’t have to worry about that.” The Sacred Ancestor said in a deep tone: “After meeting your ancestor, tell him that there is a human capable of refining pills like cooking. This junior’s alchemy is unprecedented in this world, this I can guarantee. Also, I am willing to work together with him! If we capture this Li Qiye, the alchemy technique will go to the Alchemy Ancestor!”
The monarch thought about it then took a deep breath before making his decision and solemnly responded: “Very well, I will go meet the Alchemy Ancestor. However, I cannot guarantee whether His Venerable will come out or not.”
“Go.” The Sacred Ancestor gently nodded and said: “As long as you can meet the ancestor, everything will be fine!”
After the monarch left, the clan master pondered: “Ancestor, you and the Alchemy Ancestor working together… Will you be able to fight against the Allpine Treefather?”
The Sacred Ancestor sat down and calmly replied: “No, we can’t.”
In fact, acknowledging this was not shameful at all. How many people across the entire world could say that they could fight against the treefather?!
The clan master was startled and quickly inquired: “If that’s the case, then doesn’t that mean we have no chance of winning?”
The Sacred Ancestor responded without haste: “That doesn’t matter. The only crucial point is if the Xian’s Alchemist Ancestor will be willing to take action. After that, everything will be easy. Allpine Mountain and the treefather… If they kill the Alchemy Ancestor, then that is the same as declaring war against the Alchemy Kingdom!”
“Dragging the kingdom into these muddy waters…” The clan master quickly reacted: “Wise Ancestor, if we could do so, then everything will indeed be easy!”
The Sacred Ancestor slowly said: “If the Allpine Treefather is sensible, then he should know the result of opposing the Alchemy Kingdom. Even if he was stronger than he is now, he alone is unable to shake the entire kingdom!”
The clan master composed himself and felt that this scheme was indeed amazing. “Opposing a behemoth like the kingdom just for a human junior is probably something Allpine Mountain doesn’t want to do, even if the treefather was stronger than he is now. At that point, the treefather will either hand over the brat or refuse to get involved in this matter… and then the brat will be a bird trapped in a cage!”
“That’s right! Capturing this Li fella is only a matter of time. If the Alchemy Kingdom is willing to take action, then it is best if they are willing to trample over the Giant Bamboo Country as well. Nothing could be better.” Having said this, the Sacred Ancestor’s eyes became fierce with a terrifying murderous glint.
