Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 2039 - 1045: When the Strong Meet (Part 2)
Nowadays, its power has greatly increased, and it firmly controls the source of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow.
As a result, if it doesn’t choose to cooperate with the Yulan Sect, it will soon find other forces to ally with.
In this regard, through years of continuous exploration, the Tianshan Snow Fox has already gathered quite a bit of intelligence and even had contact with some forces.
Under such circumstances, the current Yulan Sect holds little weight in the eyes of the Tianshan Snow Fox.
Thus, at this moment, the Tianshan Snow Fox looked at Wang Jinshan and the others, finally inspecting the contents of the Storage Jade Pendant.
After a long while, the Tianshan Snow Fox finally spoke: "There is no mistake with the agreed-upon items, the juniors may leave..."
Having said this, the Tianshan Snow Fox once again swung its sharp claws, seizing the Storage Jade Pendant from a distance.
At the same time, Wang Jinshan on the opposite side also made a grand gesture, intending to retrieve the fifty pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow from afar.
However, just as both sides were about to take the items, a strong disturbance suddenly erupted from a certain valley behind Wang Jinshan.
The disturbance was very obvious and quite sudden, and as time went on, its intensity grew stronger.
Moreover, by now, the disturbance was getting closer, finally becoming clearly perceived by everyone.
At this moment, they could clearly sense that the disturbance was from a large group of more than ten people.
As a result, everyone present pondered for a moment and realized that the force capable of such a large formation must be one of Qingzhou Land’s Nascent Soul Forces.
And this Nascent Soul Force is likely Yulan Sect’s archrival, the Blood Red Alliance.
Understanding this, Wang Jinshan and his companions couldn’t help but change their expressions, feeling ominous inwardly.
And sure enough, as a few breaths passed, the disturbance from afar grew stronger, finally revealing figures at the valley’s exit.
These figures totaled eleven, each standing coldly at the valley’s exit, their eyes scrutinizing Wang Jinshan and the others.
As for the leader, it was precisely the Blood Red Alliance’s Holy Son, Situ Jian, whom Wang Jinshan and others were quite familiar with.
Behind Situ Jian was Blood Red Alliance’s second genius Golden Core Cultivator, Zhao Yang, along with a few renowned Five Great Golden Elixir Protectors standing shoulder to shoulder.
At this moment, Situ Jian was smiling as he stared at Wang Jinshan and the others, his gaze seemingly calm but filled with fighting spirit, appearing confident in capturing the Yulan Sect Cultivators in one sweep.
Conversely, at this time, Wang Jinshan and the others, upon seeing the arrival of the expected Blood Red Alliance Cultivators, wore rather ugly expressions.
The reason for this is none other than the numerous frictions between the Yulan Sect and the Blood Red Alliance.
Even years ago, the Nascent Soul Stage Experts from both forces had several public clashes.
At that time, neither side gained an absolute advantage, thus forcing them to disengage.
In later years, the disciples of both forces continually clashed, with many dying at the hands of opposing sect members.
Based on this, the relationship between these two Nascent Soul Forces in Qingzhou Land was always on edge.
Moreover, the confrontations between the core members and Heaven’s Chosen Sons of the sects were frequent, often involving open and covert struggles, even over trivial treasures, resulting in fierce conflicts.
The reason for this is that although the treasures themselves aren’t highly valued, they relate to the reputations of both forces.
Therefore, Golden Core Stage cultivators from these two Nascent Soul Forces were reluctant to lose to the other.
Especially for Wang Jinshan personally, despite his outstanding talent, in the eyes of many cultivators over the years, he was always overshadowed by the Blood Red Alliance’s Holy Son, Situ Jian.
After all, the talents Situ Jian displayed were indeed terrifying, and his cultivation speed was exceptionally rapid.
Moreover, the achievements Situ Jian accomplished were truly astounding, his influence on Qingzhou Land was overwhelmingly recognized by many cultivators in Qingzhou.
For this reason, many Qingzhou Cultivators referred to Situ Jian as the premier Golden Core Expert below the Nascent Soul Stage.
Meanwhile, these individuals ranked Situ Jian first among Qingzhou’s talented Golden Core Practitioners.
As for Wang Jinshan, although his talent was equally remarkable and his cultivation speed rapid, his achievements equally dazzling, in the eyes of most people, he fell short of Situ Jian.
Therefore, within the proud heart of Wang Jinshan, a desire and emotion to excel inevitably lingered.
As of now, with the appearance of Situ Jian and the Blood Red Alliance Cultivators, it marked the first encounter between the sect disciples of both forces in the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.
On this basis, even without clearly understanding the opponents’ intentions, Wang Jinshan internally prepared for potential troubles.
And not just him, others like Yan Long had similar thoughts at this time.
However, until Wang Jinshan expressed a stance, they were reluctant to initiate trouble with the others.
Thus, both sides now sized each other up, with neither party breaking the silence first.
Conversely, initially planning to withdraw and avoid involving itself in these Human Cultivators’ troubles, the Tianshan Snow Fox hesitated upon seeing the newcomers, fixing its gaze on Situ Jian.
Sensing the Tianshan Snow Fox’s eyes, Situ Jian calmly clasped his hands in salute towards it, breaking the silence first.
"Junior Situ Jian, Holy Son of the Blood Red Alliance, greets Senior Snow Fox!"
"Senior Snow Fox, I am here today on orders to negotiate a deal with you."
"In accordance with your enlightening from centuries ago, I have come bearing the items you require, hoping they meet your satisfaction."
Saying this, Situ Jian made a grand gesture, and a Storage Jade Pendant appeared in his hand.
At this moment, after hearing Situ Jian’s words, Wang Jinshan finally understood the situation.
It turned out that the Tianshan Snow Fox had already been in contact with the Blood Red Alliance during the last Secret Realm’s opening.
At that time, the Tianshan Snow Fox communicated its requirements to the Blood Red Alliance members, forming some kind of agreement.
This time around, with the Secret Realm opening again, the Blood Red Alliance issued a mission to its members entering the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.
According to the timing of the Tianshan Snow Fox’s appearance, it hence appeared at this location now.
As for Situ Jian and his companions’ intentions, like the Yulan Sect members, they aimed to complete a transaction to obtain the precious Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow.
Understanding this, Wang Jinshan and his companions’ expressions slightly relaxed.
At the same time, hearing these words, the Tianshan Snow Fox didn’t immediately respond.
However, soon the Tianshan Snow Fox spoke again.
At this moment, the Tianshan Snow Fox slowly said to Situ Jian: "Junior, you all are a bit late."
"Just now, I have completed the transaction with them."
"At present, I have no extra Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow for trade."
"Had you come first, I might have agreed to cooperate with you."
"But as it stands now, I’m afraid you can only wait for the next opportunity."
Having said that, the Tianshan Snow Fox seriously watched Situ Jian and the others, not leaving immediately, seemingly curious about how the Humans would handle the situation.
At this moment, upon hearing the Tianshan Snow Fox’s words, Situ Jian turned his gaze toward Wang Jinshan and his entourage.
Then Situ Jian said, "Daoist Wang, I have come here under my master’s command, aiming to fulfill the elders’ mission of our alliance."
"Yet now, Daoist Wang has already completed the transaction first."
"I am at a loss if I can’t complete the mission, having to answer to my alliance’s elders once the Ancient Demon Secret Realm is exited."
"In this case, would Daoist Wang consider yielding these Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrows to my way?"
"Rest assured, Daoist Wang, I am willing to exchange them for equivalent treasures, ensuring you won’t suffer a loss."
