198: Chapter 198 Conspiracy

Chen Yinlong did not inform the accompanying Chen Family Disciples of the news that the Old Ancestor had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, as this news was still a Chen Family secret.

"Let's go, return to the Qingya Mountain Range first." Chen Yinlong then took out his spiritual boat and greeted the others.

At this time, in the outer region of the Hanhai Li Family, dozens of Golden Core Cultivators continuously scanned Chen Yinlong with their Divine Sense, trying to detect some news from him.

Due to his cultivation level, Chen Yinlong did not notice.

"The Chen Family head has already left, but Chen Qingyuan has not appeared. Could it be that he has given up on undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation?" A Golden Core Cultivator frowned tightly and asked the others.

"How is that possible? Although the Li Family's demands are a bit excessive, Chen Qingyuan would never compromise like this. After all, his Lifespan is not much left. If he doesn't prepare to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation now, it will be too late when his vital energy completely declines," one person shook his head and said.

"I don't think so. That Chen Qingyuan has a way to extend his life. Last time in the Blazing Yang Desert Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein, he killed the Golden Scorpion with lightning speed. When we went to question him, his vital energy was abundant, and there was no sign of decline," a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator from the Blazing Yang Desert immediately echoed and explained.

The Golden Core Cultivators discussed amongst themselves, but no one dared to show themselves and obstruct Chen Yinlong's return to the Qingya Mountain Range.

After all, if Chen Qingyuan could not break through to the Nascent Soul, he would definitely retaliate fiercely before he died. Being the first one to step forward now was not a wise move.

"Then let's wait patiently for a while longer. The truth will be revealed then."

Several months passed in a flash. At this time, Chen Qingyuan had completely mastered the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he did not make any moves.

Others were waiting, and he was also waiting. He was waiting for all those who coveted the Chen Family to appear, so that when he made his move, he could kill all these hidden enemies.

At this time, Chen Qingyuan was not in a hurry. He had now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and had no Lifespan crisis. Now, it was a test of patience.

During this time, Chen Qingyuan concealed his cultivation and continuously exchanged for spiritual elixirs that could assist Foundation Establishment cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Core Realm from forces like the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

After all, the Chen Family could not last long with only him as a high-level Cultivator. Now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul, he still had several treasures accumulated before. These treasures could all be exchanged for Core Formation spiritual items.

The Chen Family's silence for several months caused those Golden Core Cultivators hidden in the dark to gradually become restless.

In the past few days, multiple forces have begun to probe the Chen Family's reaction from the edge of the Qingya Mountain Range.

However, the Chen Family changed its usual behavior, ignoring those actions and even beginning to shrink the Chen Family's control over the Qingya Mountain Range.

They have even relocated the clansmen from the two Spiritual Veins furthest from the Main Spiritual Vein to the Main Spiritual Vein.

The Chen Family's actions made all the Golden Core Cultivators who were observing the Qingya Mountain Range from the dark extremely excited.

The behavior displayed by the Chen Family was equivalent to telling everyone that Chen Qingyuan might have passed away.

Otherwise, given the Chen Family's style of doing things over the years, how could they retreat and tolerate like this?

"Father, the Chen Family has begun to relocate their clansmen. I'm afraid Chen Qingyuan has passed away. Should our Zhou Family also take action? Otherwise, if we are late, the Chen Family's resources will be completely divided by other forces, and it will be too late," in the Zhou Family's cave dwelling Spiritual Vein at the bottom of the lake, the Zhou Family head, Zhou Qianyin, reported to the Zhou Family Old Ancestor, Zhou Zhengyang.

Zhou Zhengyang stopped cultivating. At this time, his tightly closed eyes slightly opened, and he frowned slightly at the look of joy and excitement on Zhou Qianyin's face who had come to report the news.

"Qianyin, didn't I teach you that you must be calm and not arrogant when encountering matters? What kind of behavior is this?" Zhou Zhengyang sternly reprimanded.

"Father..."

"Hmph, that old fox Chen Qingyuan, how could he be willing to die silently? If he doesn't turn the entire Southern Corner Region upside down before he dies, he wouldn't be Chen Qingyuan," Zhou Zhengyang sneered and continued, "Just watch, those who are probing the Chen Family's bottom line will have their turn to suffer."

"You go down and warn all the clansmen not to get involved in any of the Chen Family's affairs." After Zhou Zhengyang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

Although Zhou Qianyin was extremely anxious, he did not dare to disobey Zhou Zhengyang's order.

"Yes, Father." Zhou Qianyin bowed and withdrew.

At this time, in the Blazing Yang Desert, in Huangsha Valley, Old Ancestor Huangsha and his grandson Huang Houtu were playing a game of chess.

Huang Houtu placed a black piece on the chessboard and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan of the Chen Family has laid out such an open scheme. I wonder how many Golden Core forces will not be able to resist the temptation and fall into his trap. Should we warn the other Golden Core forces in the Blazing Yang Desert not to get involved in this matter?"

"Hmph, we should not interfere in this matter. If they are blinded by greed and cause trouble, they will have brought it upon themselves and it has nothing to do with us. In this matter, our Huangsha Valley will not interfere."

"Furthermore, my Lifespan is not much left. If I make a move, even if I seize the treasure, you probably won't be able to keep it after my Lifespan is exhausted. Since that's the case, it's better to just wait and see here. Even if the Qingya Mountain Range is turned upside down, it has nothing to do with my Huangsha Valley," Old Freak Huangsha sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Houtu's face showed a sad expression: "Grandpa, aren't you going to try to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation? Maybe you have deep fortune and can achieve the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"Haha, grandson, how can the Nascent Soul Tribulation be so easy to pass? I have about twenty years of Lifespan left. As long as I stay alive, no one will dare to covet our Huangsha Valley's Spiritual Vein."

"During this time, I will help you break through to the mid-stage Golden Core. By then, even if you cannot keep this Huangsha Valley Spiritual Vein, you should have the ability to protect yourself, and you won't have to be like the Chen Family now, where as soon as Chen Qingyuan dies, many ghosts and monsters want a piece of the pie."

Huang Houtu heard this and did not speak for a long time.

"Grandpa, I will break through to the mid-stage Golden Core as soon as possible. By then, your vital energy should not have declined yet, and you will still have a chance to attempt the Nascent Soul Tribulation." Huang Houtu seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Old Ancestor Huangsha just smiled, then looked in the direction of the Qingya Mountain Range and muttered to himself, "Brother Chen, the Li Family violated the original alliance and is unwilling to lend the Spiritual Vein for us to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation. You probably won't let it go easily. If you can kill a Li family Old Ancestor before you die, then when my Lifespan is exhausted, I will also follow your example and fight to eliminate this poisonous tumor nailed in the Southern Corner Region."

A hint of fierce light appeared in Old Ancestor Huangsha's eyes. Some time ago, he also learned about the Chen Family being difficult when renting the Hanhai Li Family's Third-Order Spirit Vein.

This matter concerns the future of the entire Southern Corner Region's Golden Core forces. If the Li Family dares to refuse the Chen Family's rental today, they will use this as an excuse to make things difficult for other forces in the future.

It is a pity that those short-sighted people do not know the severity of this matter and are actually colluding with the Li Family.

"Alas!"
