Terran Guardian - Chapter 3896

Chapter 3872 Returning to Taiyuan Mansion

A month.

Not too long.

Within that limited time, the Seven Profound Dao Sect decisively abandoned all the immortal cities, taking away numerous cultivation resources. Then, many immortal ships traversed the void, disappearing without a trace before everyone’s eyes.

The difference was.

Unlike when they attacked the Immortal Qin Dynasty,

this time

the number of immortal ships departed was exponentially higher.

This was because most of the cultivators who had previously submitted to the Seven Profound Dao Sect followed them, leaving very few behind.

Everyone feared the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s repercussions.

If they were truly punished, they would hardly survive.

Moreover,

the Heavenly Dao Battlefield was not yet over.

Once the Seven Profound Dao Sect left the Northern Frontier, it would inevitably plunge the Northern Frontier into chaos again.

At that time, they might not even live to see the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s judgment, perishing in the chaos beforehand.

Therefore,

at this point,

they were determined to go all the way.

Rather than staying and facing an uncertain fate, why not simply leave with the Seven Profound Dao Sect?

…

“Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

Pei Chengyue looked at the message, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, but it quickly subsided.

Over the years, he had wanted revenge more than once.

But unfortunately,

Shen Changqing acted too cautiously.

Pei Chengyue simply couldn’t find any opportunity.

Now that

the Seven Profound Dao Sect had left first, Pei Chengyue knew very well that it wouldn’t be so easy for the Great Luo Immortal Court to attack them later.

After all, fighting across the Immortal Realm carried considerable risks.

The Great Luo Immortal Court wouldn’t rashly start a war with the Seven Profound Dao Sect for a momentary squabble.

If the latter were weak and could be easily crushed, that would be one thing.

But the Seven Profound Dao Sect was not simple; on the surface, they had at least three Half-Saints.

You must know

that in the Ancient Immortal Realm alone, the Seven Profound Dao Sect had three Half-Saints.

Considering the resources of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, the semi-saints of this force are far more complex than they appear.

To wage war against such a force without a significant conflict of interest is practically impossible.

Even without the aid of the Great Luo Immortal Court, Pei Chengyue, relying solely on himself and his crippled Heavenly Strategy Army, had to admit he was no match for Shen Changqing.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect had made even a slight move in recent years, Pei Chengyue might have found an opportunity to unite with other forces to deal with them.

But Shen Changqing was extremely cautious.

Therefore ,

Pei Chengyue could only let him leave.

After all, without the alliance of other forces, he was no match for the Seven Profound Dao Sect on his own.

This was an indisputable fact.

At the same time,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s withdrawal also gave the Heavenly Strategy Army commander the same thought.

“The sky surges with crimson, dusk hangs with cinnabar, the evil energy of heaven and earth is undergoing further transformation; this Heavenly Dao Battlefield indeed cannot last much longer.

Leaving now will save a lot of trouble!”

Pei Chengyue thought to himself.

Upon realizing this,

he didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately summoned all his generals, then ordered a retreat.

When the Great Luo Immortal Court made its move, the Yanxu Holy Land and the Taihua Holy Land, among other forces, also began their retreats simultaneously.

A month later,

all the top forces within the vast Immortal Qin Dynasty’s territory had withdrawn.

This caused the remaining forces in the Xuandu Immortal Domain to focus their attention on the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

Subsequently,

war broke out without warning.

For most forces, the vast territory of the Immortal Qin Dynasty contained a wealth of cultivation resources. Even though forces like the Seven Profound Dao Sect had plundered it, the remaining resources were still considerable.

Moreover,

even disregarding other cultivation resources, the sheer

power and resources behind the numerous immortal cities were enough to tempt anyone. Furthermore,

with the current chaotic influence of the evil energy of heaven and earth affecting their Dao hearts, a bloodbath naturally erupted.

Although news of the war between the Immortal Qin Dynasty and the acquired demon gods remaining in the Xuandu Immortal Domain had been relayed, Shen Changqing paid little attention to it.

Now,

the army had returned to Taiyuan Prefecture.

The vast Cangwu Mountain Range was now mostly in ruins, and within the reach of his divine sense, many sects were similarly devastated.

“It seems that Taiyuan Prefecture has suffered a great calamity in the past million years. There are probably not many forces left to survive!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

He considered this outcome reasonable.

The ancient battlefield was a breeding ground for evil spirits, where various forces fought endlessly for cultivation resources and the blessings of the Heavenly Dao.

In short,

it was a matter of the strong preying on the weak.

The strong killed the weak, and the weak killed the even weaker.

However,

the return of the Seven Profound Dao Sect to Taiyuan Prefecture caused such a great stir that it attracted the attention of many cultivators.

“What kind of force is this? They seem quite formidable!”

A visiting cultivator frowned, a deep sense of apprehension in his eyes as he looked at the immortal ships and warships.

However, the local forces of Taiyuan Prefecture were overjoyed upon seeing these immortal ships.

“These are the immortal ships of the Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect has returned to Taiyuan Prefecture! Let’s see how other immortal realm cultivators dare to continue their insolence!”

The cultivators of Taiyuan Prefecture were all too familiar with the strength of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

When the Immortal Qin Dynasty invaded, the renowned Zhen Tian Army was annihilated by them; even the Zhen Tian Army’s commander, Wu Jue, a third-tribulation half-saint realm cultivator, was no match for that Seven Profound Dao Lord.

The latter’s strength was evident.

Such power was not to be underestimated, not only in Taiyuan Prefecture but also in other powerful prefectures.

Now that the Seven Profound Dao Sect has returned, its power and influence are even greater than a million years ago, demonstrating that its strength has not diminished in the slightest over the years.

At the same time,

in the Cangwu Mountains, many rogue cultivators also looked up at the void, their expressions filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

“Within a quarter of an hour, no cultivator is allowed to remain in the Cangwu Mountains, otherwise, death will be the only punishment!”

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back atop the immortal ship, overlooking the vast mountains below, his calm tone containing an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this ,

the expressions of the rogue cultivators in the Cangwu Mountains changed drastically. Many cultivators dared not linger and hastily departed.

For them, confronting a force before understanding its strength was unwise.

How many of the surviving cultivators didn’t understand the importance of assessing the situation?

Besides,

the mere presence of the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s numerous immortal ships in the void was enough to terrify the other rogue cultivators.

Therefore…

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the rogue cultivators in the vast Cangwu Mountain Range had departed.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing did not pursue them relentlessly, but instead had the immortal boat land and then began to rebuild the ravaged Cangwu Mountain Range.

Inside a newly built hall, Shen Changqing sat upright, while below him, Wenren Chen looked extremely respectful.

“What are your plans when we return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm?”

“I will obey Your Excellency’s orders!”

Wenren Chen replied, bowing his head.

Shen Changqing glanced at him for a few moments before speaking, “The Seven Profound Dao Sect has thirteen peaks, and outside the thirteen peaks is the Hall of Offerings. Anyone who enters the Hall of Offerings becomes an elder of the sect.

Currently, there are only four elders in the Hall of Offerings. You should be familiar with two of them, namely Elder Duan Changsheng and Elder Xuehe!”

Upon hearing these names, Wenren Chen’s heart trembled.

He was naturally very familiar with these two.

“I believe you will hold a nominal position in the Hall of Offerings as an elder of the sect. After returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, the sect will establish an immortal city in Taiyuan Prefecture to generate revenue for the sect.

As for you, you will be responsible for governing the immortal city.

The remaining cultivators who originally belonged to the Immortal Qin Dynasty will all be under your command!”

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

“There’s no need to use the word ‘Your Excellency’ again.”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Wenren Chen changed his address quickly. Shen Changqing gave him a deep look and waved for him to leave.

The latter bowed and then turned to leave.

After leaving the main hall, Wenren Chen looked at the crimson sky, but he felt no repression. Instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Elder of the Hall of Offerings!

Governing an immortal city!

For him, the things he had worried about in the past had not happened.

In Wenren Chen’s view, although he had already pledged allegiance to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, whether the other party would truly trust him was still unknown.

After all, once the birds are gone, the good bow is put away; once the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.

Upon returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, the other party might not need him anymore, and if that happened, his fate would be unimaginable.

But now it’s different.

Shen Changqing’s promise

naturally relieved Wenren Chen.

With the status of a sect elder, it meant he had truly integrated into the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and he no longer needed to worry about being purged later.

At the same time

, many cultivators from the former Immortal Qin Dynasty had all joined his ranks, which Wenren Chen considered a great sign of trust.   That force was not weak.   Over the years, many cultivators from the former Immortal Qin Dynasty had pledged allegiance to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, including more than thirty Immortal Emperor realm experts alone. Not

to mention   the cultivators below the Immortal Emperor realm.   Now,   having such a force at his disposal was enough to demonstrate the sect leader’s high regard for him.   How could Wenren Chen not be at ease?   …   Not long after,   Shen Changqing announced the news.   Many cultivators were surprised by the addition of an elder to the Hall of Offerings, but quickly accepted it.   They had all witnessed Wenren Chen’s strength.   Although he wasn’t on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, his strength was undoubtedly among the strongest of those below it.   Moreover,   over the past million years, other cultivators had clearly seen Wenren Chen’s capabilities.   His entry into the Hall of Offerings as a sect elder was perfectly reasonable.   Bringing such a powerful figure into the sect was far better than discarding him.   As for the possibility of Wenren Chen betraying the Immortal Qin Dynasty, no one worried about that.   After all,   based on what Wenren Chen had done after joining the Seven Profound Dao Sect, the Immortal Qin Dynasty had no reason to accept him.   Since he wouldn’t betray them, bringing him into the sect was naturally more beneficial than harmful.
