Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 365: Chapter 161: “Let me introduce myself, I am Chen Qiu, Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect.”_2
 

It seemed, however, that the situation had undergone some changes.

The Su Family Patriarch glanced at Chen Qiu, noting his genuinely sincere expression that didn’t seem deceitful, paused for a moment, and then softly explained, “West of Quzhou borders ‘Evil State,’ which is not one of the nineteen states of the Xuantian Continent.”

“It’s a small place.”

“It borders the sea, and one-third of its territory comprises such islands. The Evil State possesses over three thousand islands distributed along the western coastal borders of Evil State, while the eastern part of Evil State borders the western part of Quzhou.”

“The bordering areas often experience friction; over the years, the Evil Clan and Quzhou Cultivators have long engaged in killings, forming deep-seated enmities. The pattern had always been maintained thus—Evil State’s overall strength is inferior to that of Quzhou, so they dare not do anything to Quzhou.”

“But just a few months ago, a Nascent Soul peak from the Evil Clan suddenly advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage!”

“The situation changed abruptly.”

“Quzhou has only three Divinity Transformation Experts, while the Evil Clan now has four. Their high-end combat power has overwhelmed Quzhou. Hence, in the past few months, the Evil State has continuously provoked Quzhou, attempting to start a major conflict between the two states.”

“In order to take over Quzhou’s territory.”

“Like now, the Evil Clan has forcefully occupied a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm that appeared within Quzhou’s territory and are arrogantly demanding Quzhou to send a Golden Core Heavenly Pride to battle them. If we win, they will allow Quzhou Cultivators to also enter this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.”

“Quzhou’s Golden Core Heavenly Pride was defeated; the Evil Clan brought forth a Heavenly Pride, very strong.”

“I thought you came here to join the battle.”

“Hmm,” the Su Family Young Master said helplessly and bitterly from the side, “I was defeated the fastest, that Heavenly Pride from the Evil Clan was quite formidable, I couldn’t match him, not even Li Shiyi…”

Just then, he suddenly remembered that Li Shiyi and Chen Qiu seemed to have some old grudges and instantly stopped talking.

Li Shiyi.

He is acknowledged as the strongest Heavenly Pride in Quzhou, unmatched in both talent and effort among all the Heavenly Prides!

If it weren’t for some accidents.

In the initial screening realm of the Heavenly Pride path, he could even have captured the second or even first place.

But… even Li Shiyi was defeated.

“Chen Qiu.”

At that moment—

Li Shiyi, who had been standing to the side with a sword in his arms and blood at the corner of his mouth circulating his mental method, suddenly opened his eyes, but he did not look towards Chen Qiu, instead, he coldly spoke word by word to a distant member of the Evil Clan.

“Do you remember me, Li Shiyi, True Disciple of the Tao Sword Sect!”

“You once called me an ant during the initial screening of the Heavenly Pride path and said that you saw the end of this generation’s Heavenly Prides in me.”

“Although I hate to admit it, but after watching the Memory Stone given to me last time by Su Ya, which showed you clearing the Su Family Inheritance Secret Realm, your combat power indeed was very strong, far surpassing me.”

“We do have some old scores between us.”

“But if today you defeat that Evil Clan’s Heavenly Pride, I will consider our past grievances settled, though I know this might not concern you since before you arrived, I had been number one for a long time, and I understand a number one never cares who number two is.”

“I don’t know if you are from the Central State, but… I still hope, since you are here in Quzhou, could you perhaps fight for Quzhou.”

“Consider it my request.”

“Not a bit.” Chen Qiu glanced at Li Shiyi and shook his head, “The Evil Clan has three Divinity Transformation strong ones, we only have the Su Family Patriarch alone; even if I win, those three Evildoers would definitely take action, we can’t hold them off.”

He remembered Li Shiyi.

Just not to meet again like this.

“Hmm.”

The Su Family Patriarch, with a look of complexity, nodded and then continued softly, “Actually, the situation is more dangerous than you all imagine. Currently, in Quzhou, I’m the only one in Divinity Transformation. Our other two Divinity Transformation practitioners were gravely injured a few months ago when entering a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm and are still recovering with almost no fighting capacity.”

“This news is top secret, and Evil State is unaware.”

“But just over ten days ago, cultivators from Evil State killed a True Disciple of ‘Qi Sect’ at the frictional zone, a power in Quzhou guarded by one of the few Divinity Transformation Experts.”

“Evil State was already prepared to be retaliated against, but these days, ‘Qi Sect’ has shown no response.”

“Thus, Evil State speculated whether something happened to the old ancestor of Qi Sect.”

“That’s why they took this opportunity with the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm to provoke us.”

“If we show weakness now, then a part of the core strong ones from Evil State will not hold back any longer but will directly advance, their true target being not this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, but Quzhou.”

“But—”

“Now that I’m here, they dare not act rashly, only continuing to arrogantly challenge Quzhou to send out a Heavenly Pride for battle.”@@novelbin@@

“I alone cannot match their three, but if truly pressed, I can exchange one for one; they also dare not come forward and fight me to death.”

“The remaining Divinity Transformation from the Evil Clan is likely hiding among the crowd, waiting for us to show a slight weakness; then the Evil Clan will no longer hold back but will charge straight in.”

“If we can win this round, it could boost Quzhou’s morale and suppress the Evil Clan’s spirit.”

“If you are confident in winning, don’t worry about what comes after; I’ll protect you.”

The Su Family Patriarch took a deep breath, then turned his head to look seriously at Chen Qiu, “And if possible, try to win as cleanly and decisively as possible, pressing down the Evil Clan’s momentum completely; the Evil Clan’s Heavenly Pride has already won seven consecutive fights, and their morale is currently high.”

“If we don’t suppress this momentum, the Evil Clan might directly take advantage of this morale to assemble their entire army to advance.”
