Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 261 - 168: Falling Out (Part 3)

The incident in the West District has also served as a warning to the rest of the black markets.

As for those who suspect the East District Black Market? The Foundation Establishment Cultivators who understand only shake their heads in silence. Such a grand scheme must undoubtedly be backed by a major power.

...

Soon after, shocking news came from the West District Market.

It turns out that Qin Feng conspired with external cultivators to set up the scheme, and the Qin Family abandoned their familial interests in Celestial Profound City because they were preparing to relocate to another country.

Previously, the Qin Family had plans to migrate, but now it’s finally confirmed beyond doubt.

In an instant, a dramatic confrontation unfolded among the top ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the West District Market.

"Old Lin, that Qin family really is something, colluding with outsiders. But this time, they’ve met their downfall; while they’re off flying high, the Qin Family has been left in a deep pit.

I heard that the old Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Qin Family were so angry they fell gravely ill, and that Qin also couldn’t face the family anymore, resigning from the position of Patriarch and leaving Celestial Profound City in a mad, weeping state."

Old Hu spoke gleefully about the Qin Family’s downfall.

As Lin Chang’an listened to this upheaval, he smiled and nodded, but inside, his thoughts were deep and contemplative.

With things this way, the opponent poses no threat.

It was all his orchestration after all. With more than a dozen Tier Two Skill Cultivators willing to fabricate evidence, it was incredibly easy.

One or two could be faked, but could over a dozen be?

"A single misstep leads to a cascade of mistakes; the Qin Family has lost its foundation and is far from what it once was."

With a calm demeanor, Lin Chang’an felt no wavering in manipulating everything and bringing the Qin Family to rock bottom.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm has always been such that those who scheme in greed must consider the consequences.

"Indeed, that’s how it is," Old Hu also nodded.

"Though this Qin fellow was unpleasant, he did have some skill. It’s just a pity he took the wrong step amidst the chaos in Celestial Profound City, which led to such a disaster driven by greed for quick success."

Old Hu shook his head. Since the outbreak of war in the Yue Kingdom, there’s been no peace.

The rise and fall of many centennial families evokes the ruthlessness and callousness of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

When the Qin Family decided to sell off their Spirit Fields and shops in preparation for migration, they had already made the wrong move. But who can foresee the future?

Because of this, Qin Feng was anxious and felt guilty toward his ancestors, desperately wanting to make amends.

"The remaining few loose cultivators have sent gifts of apology. Some have joined families as tributors, while others simply joined businesses in other countries and left..."

Afterward, Old Hu recounted the whereabouts of these ten people one by one, making Lin Chang’an nod in acknowledgment.

This Old Hu is very cautious in private.

Every potential crisis is watched.

"So many people are leaving the Yue Kingdom?"

Hearing that many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were recruited by foreign businesses and appointed as honored guest elders, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown.

It’s well known that the spiritual energy-rich area of Celestial Profound City is extremely difficult for the average loose cultivator to find elsewhere.

And Old Hu could only sigh helplessly.

"It’s all because of the tense situation in our Yue Kingdom. With the Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace joining forces, the war shows no signs of stopping.

Not everyone is like us, single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao without care."

At this point, Old Hu discreetly glanced at Lin Chang’an, muttering to himself.

This Old Lin also has the talent of an Upper Grade Talisman Master but if he were any less, how many could persist?

And as for him, if not for some ancestral endowment, he might have opened his mind early on as well.

"Indeed, who knows when these fires of war will end."

Lin Chang’an sighed in melancholy. Originally, Celestial Profound City guarded by the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was such a great Spirit Land.

If not for the war, how many of these cultivators would want to leave this place?

Those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators seeking to enter Foundation Establishment are flocking to Celestial Profound City.

Whereas those Foundation Establishment cultivators, who are disheartened after years of arduous cultivation with no progress, mostly just want to live a stable life.

As for personal choices, who can say what’s right or wrong?
