Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1673 - 1663: Consolidate Strength

After entering Zhenyang Gate, Long Yan first arranged accommodations for Red Lotus Saint, Li Shaobai, and Xia Xueer, while he and his father went to the Central Courtyard.

"Mother!"

As Long Yan entered the courtyard, he saw his mother, Huangfu Yingying, and called out to her softly.

"Yan’er, you’re finally back. Let Mother have a look at you."

Huangfu Yingying held Long Yan’s hands and looked him over carefully, relieved to see that nothing was amiss.

"Mother, I’m fine. I’m sorry to have worried you!"

Long Yan said softly.

"It’s good that you’re fine, really good."

A gentle smile appeared on Huangfu Yingying’s face, her eyes carrying a tender gaze.

"You father and son talk, I’ll go make some delicious food for you."

With that, Huangfu Yingying headed toward the kitchen.

Immediately, Long Yan and Long Chengtian took a seat in the courtyard.

"Yan’er, your trip to Dragon God Ancient City has vastly improved your strength. It seems you’ve gained some fortune there. What other gains have you made?"

Long Chengtian asked.

Long Yan nodded and said, "The trip to Dragon God Ancient City went smoothly. Red Lotus Saint is a strong one I attracted in outer space-time. I became the Dragon Emperor of Dragon God Ancient City and can control the power of Dragon God Ancient City."

The greatest achievement of this trip was becoming the power of Dragon God Ancient City, effectively wielding it like an invincible sharp sword.

"What is the strength of Dragon God Ancient City like?"

Long Chengtian inquired.

Long Yan’s gaining the approval of Dragon God Ancient City was expected, but him becoming the Dragon Emperor was a surprise to Long Chengtian.

"Dragon God Ancient City is very powerful, stronger than any force in the entire imperial area."

Long Yan stated, "Especially the Three Dragon Emperors, they are truly unfathomable."

What he saw in Dragon God Ancient City was just the surface; the true strength of Dragon God Ancient City was absolutely terrifying.

"Dragon God Ancient City is that strong?"

Upon hearing this, Long Chengtian was also surprised. He had anticipated the strength of Dragon God Ancient City to be comparable to forces like the Supreme Hall and the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family, but he had not expected it to be so formidable.

"This is good news. The Ancestor said that the calamities facing the Emperor Realm this time are not simple. With Dragon God Ancient City as our support, Zhenyang Sect may have a chance to survive the calamities."

Long Chengtian said.

"The power of Dragon God Ancient City, I won’t reveal easily, keeping it as a trump card for Zhenyang Sect."

Long Yan stated.

"Mm."

Long Chengtian nodded, agreeing with Long Yan’s approach.

"By the way, how is the Ancestor doing?"

Long Yan asked.

The Long Family’s Ancestor is a true Divine Being who, once he rebuilds his physical body through reincarnation, will surely be a formidable figure.

"The Ancestor is still in seclusion; rebuilding a physical body is not so simple and might still take some time."

Long Chengtian explained, then asked, "You voluntarily lowered your stance today considering the Emperor Realm’s Havoc, right?"

The proactive lowering of his stance to the Demon God Emperor Palace certainly had a purpose.

"Indeed."

Long Yan nodded and said, "This calamity is no small matter. As one of the seven behemoth forces, if we can attract the Demon God Emperor Palace, it adds an extra surge of strength in resisting the calamity. Zhenyang Sect and Demon God Emperor Palace are not yet at the point of irreconcilable differences. For the sake of the entire imperial area, speaking soft words is worthwhile."

If it weren’t for the imminent descent of the calamity, he would never have done such a thing.

Long Chengtian nodded, understanding Long Yan’s intentions well. freewebnøvel_com

"By the way, where are Chen’er and Wushuang? Why didn’t they come back with you?"

Long Chengtian asked.

"They are still in Dragon God Ancient City, both have encountered a great opportunity, and they need some more time,"

Long Yan replied.

"That’s good news, both Chen’er and Wushuang are extraordinary. Their increased strength will also be of some help to you."

Long Chengtian smiled slightly, also feeling happy for Long Chen and Zhan Wushuang.

Father and son chatted back and forth as time passed slowly, and almost an hour had passed when Huangfu Yingying served up several plates of delicious dishes, all of which were Long Yan’s favorites.

In the courtyard, a family gathered around a table, brimming with happiness.

Black night descended, shrouding the firmament.

Zhenyang Hall.

On the Throne of the Sect Leader, Long Yan sat upright.

The core characters of the Zhenyang Sect had gathered in Zhenyang Hall, each taking their respective places.

"I have good news to share with everyone. My trip to the Dragon God Ancient City was successful in sealing an alliance. The strength of Dragon God Ancient City is formidable, on par with any colossal force in the entire imperial area,"

Long Yan’s gaze swept across those present as he spoke, his voice resonating throughout the Great Hall.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited, smiles spreading across their faces.

Having the Zhenyang Sect ally with Dragon God Ancient City was definitely good news. As the calamities descended, the Zhenyang Sect now had a powerful support.

"Sect Leader, when will the great army of Dragon God Ancient City arrive?"

Earth Dragon Truth immediately asked.

This was the question on everyone’s mind, all filled with anticipation for Dragon God Ancient City.

"The Great army of Dragon God Ancient City can arrive in the imperial area at any time, but the power of Dragon God Ancient City is the trump card of Zhenyang Sect, and must not be revealed prematurely. When calamities descend, the Zhenyang Sect will face more than just the Demon Clan,"

At this point, Long Yan’s tone suddenly grew colder, "Therefore, information about the Dragon God Ancient City must not be leaked. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

He shared this news with everyone to settle their minds and prevent panic.

"Sect Leader, rest assured, we will absolutely keep this confidential!"

Everyone said in unison.

No one was a fool here; they understood the gravity of the situation.

"Gathering everyone in Zhenyang Hall today is not just to share this news but also to discuss the most important issue: how the Zhenyang Sect can withstand the calamities. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Long Yan asked.

The calamities were no small matter; the Zhenyang Sect had to be prepared. The Zhenyang Sect was not only his life’s work but also everyone’s home, and it had to be protected at all costs.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Each person had thought about this problem, but none knew how to begin.

"But speak freely. Everyone here is a core member of the Zhenyang Sect,"

Long Yan said.

"Master, I would like to share my thoughts,"

Li Yuanba stood up, bowing respectfully to Long Yan.

"Hmm!"

Long Yan nodded, signaling for Li Yuanba to continue.

"Now, the Zhenyang Sect has become the leading force of the Southern Wasteland Continent, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the entire Southern Wasteland Continent belongs to the Zhenyang Sect. The Demon Burial Abyss is located in the Southern Wasteland Continent, and once the calamities descend, it will become the primary battlefield,"

Li Yuanba stated, "Once the calamities descend, the Zhenyang Sect will be the first to face the impact. I suggest we consolidate our strength."

The territories of the Zhenyang Sect were a single entity, and consolidating strength meant sacrificing some of the peripheral territories, much like severing a part of one’s flesh.

However, this approach had one advantage: under the impact of the calamities, the Zhenyang Sect could minimize damage and preserve its strength to the greatest extent possible.
