Chapter 2091 Ice Spirit Fairy, Past Events

"What the sect leader says is absolutely right. Next, we will focus on conquering these small towns."

“That’s right. As long as we take these small towns, the strength of the Longevity Immortal Sect will be weakened. At that time, the experts in their sect will be scattered indefinitely, and we can completely lead them by the nose.”

"Who says otherwise? Senior Jian Chen is truly amazing!"

Numerous compliments rang out from the scene.

Jian Chen, however, remained calm.

He knew perfectly well that these people were so eager to praise him because they wanted to get even more benefits from him.

Normally, Jian Chen would naturally be very disdainful.

But for now, he still needs these people to carry out his plans for him.

"Gentlemen, the battles to come will not be easy. But isn't our purpose in conquering cities and plundering strongholds precisely to seize cultivation resources?"

"Hehe, if you follow my plan and take the initiative to attack, you can take half of the cultivation resources in the cities you capture."

"The remaining half can be given to the sect!"

Upon hearing Jian Chen's words, everyone present was overjoyed.

Putting everything else aside, even if they were to capture any small city, the cultivation resources within would be enough for them to enjoy for quite some time.

If we could capture a large city like Luoxian City, we would seize even more cultivation resources.

Jian Chen promised to give them half of the cultivation resources.

It will definitely make them a fortune.

"Haha, thank you very much, Senior Jian Chen. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Me too! This time I'm determined to conquer several cities and accumulate some cultivation resources for myself!"

"Senior, can we set off now? I can't wait!"

Urgent calls from the crowd echoed throughout the scene.

Jian Chen smiled and waved his hand, and everyone understood and quickly disappeared.

However, shortly after everyone left, a young female cultivator dressed in a long black dress emerged from an inconspicuous corner.

If Chen Xuan were here, he would recognize at a glance that the female cultivator in front of him, wearing a black dress, had the symbol of Yaoguang Cave on the cuffs.

This also means that this woman is actually a powerful figure from Yaoguang Cave.

"Fellow Daoist Jian Chen, are you planning to have the experts of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect exterminate the experts of the Longevity Immortal Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen smiled slightly.

However, his attitude towards the female cultivator in the black dress was unusually respectful.

"My lady, you may not know this, but I have no choice but to do this. Right now, the position of our Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect is extremely unstable!"

"If I were to act as I did before, I would surely ensure the complete annihilation of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect!"

The woman in the black dress frowned slightly.

A serious expression appeared on her face.

“Jian Chen, you know very well that this is not the original intention of our Yao Guang Cave.”

"The Tianmeng Mountains, though just an insignificant place under the jurisdiction of our Yaoguang Cave, are still our territory!"

"If you really do that, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors when I return to Yaoguang Cave!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen's expression immediately turned cold.

His tone also became a bit sharper.

"Fairy Ice Spirit! What do you mean by this? Are you complaining that our Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect's tribute is too little?"

"Heh, we've been working together for so many years, and I've never heard you say such a thing before!"

Jian Chen continued to sneer.

Although his cultivation level was the same as that of the Ice Spirit Fairy, both being at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

But he had leverage over the Ice Fairy, so he naturally wasn't afraid.

However, as the inspector of Yaoguang Cave overseeing the Tianmeng Mountains, Fairy Bingling also has the right to supervise the major sects of the Tianmeng Mountains.

If the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect has gone too far this time, she will naturally be unable to explain herself when she returns to Yaoguang Cave.

Seeing that Jian Chen had turned hostile, Fairy Bingling naturally wouldn't back down either.

With a cold laugh, the Ice Spirit Fairy's angry voice rang out.

"Jian Chen, you'd better watch yourself. If you really mess things up this time, even I won't be able to protect you!"

"You know very well why our Yaoguang Cave instigates a major battle in the Tianmeng Mountains every so often. You... don't go too far!"

Jian Chen smiled disdainfully.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Ice Spirit Fairy, please rest assured. I know that we True Immortals of Tianmeng Mountain are just a bunch of ants raised by our Yaoguang Cave."

"Hehe, don't think I don't know that some important figure from your Yaoguang Cave wants to use us to condense his own true form of willpower. It's a pity that over the years, his plan seems to be increasingly unlikely to succeed."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have put you in charge of supervising our Tianmeng Mountain Range and causing the various sects in our Tianmeng Mountain Range to fight each other over nominal cultivation resources every now and then!"

"Hehe, I only want to ask you, fairy. Where exactly did the souls of those true immortals who died in our Tianmeng Mountains go?"

"Do those big shots from your Yaoguang Cave really treat us as a force under Yaoguang Cave's command?"

Ice Fairy knew perfectly well that what Jian Chen said was the absolute truth.

If things really fall apart between them now, her fate after returning to Yaoguang Cave will probably be terrible.

Especially when she thought about the possibility of bearing the wrath of that important person because of this, she felt a wave of fear wash over her.

At this moment, Fairy Ice Spirit was also very clear that she absolutely could not be controlled by Jian Chen.

Otherwise, everything is over.

"I only want you to act according to our old rules. Do you understand?" Ice Spirit Fairy sneered.

"Hehe, I naturally understand what you mean, fairy. But do you know what has happened in the Tianmeng Mountains in recent years?"

"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist? Is the Tianmeng Mountain Range different from what it used to be?"

"Hehe, it seems that the fairy's oversight of the Tianmeng Mountains has really weakened over the years. She doesn't even know what's happening in the Tianmeng Mountains!"

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, I only want to ask you a question, Fairy. There are now two Golden Immortals in the Longevity Immortal Sect, and Fairy Fengling in Dragon Severing Valley has also successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal realm. Is this related to you, Fairy?"

"what?"

The Ice Fairy's expression changed drastically.

Her suspicious gaze swept quickly over Jian Chen.

Seeing that Jian Chen was not lying, his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"You mean, during the time I was in seclusion, someone actually broke through to the Golden Immortal realm? No wonder you ordered your True Immortals to attack major cities in such a brutal way!" Fairy Ice Spirit exclaimed in surprise.

But soon she shook her head: "Impossible, right? Our senior in Yaoguang Cave said that with the cultivation resources in Tianmeng Mountain Range, only one Golden Immortal realm expert can be born."

"Now, Fellow Daoist Jian Chen, you have already reached the Golden Immortal realm. Why are there other Golden Immortals appearing in this Tianmeng Mountain Range?"

Jian Chen smiled mockingly, seemingly not taking Ice Spirit Fairy's words to heart at all.

"I will not believe what the fairy says!"

"If what the fairy says is true, there can only be one Golden Immortal in the Tianmeng Mountains. Then where do the Golden Immortals of the Longevity Immortal Sect and the Dragon-Slaying Valley come from?"

"Where did that powerful figure who was famous throughout the Southern Immortal Realm many years ago come from?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of unconcealed fear flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Ice Fairy.

Especially when she thought about how much time had passed, and how the legend of that powerful figure still circulated in the Tiannan True Immortal Realm, her expression became very unnatural.

"I am naturally very aware of that senior's affairs. However, although that senior came from the Tianmeng Mountains, there are many different opinions about what happened to him in the end!"

Some say that the senior stepped into the River of Time alone, attempting to claim the position of Time Ancestor. Others say that the senior fought a great battle with an Ancestor and perished.

"However, one thing is certain: that senior is not in the Tianmeng Mountains. Otherwise, the higher-ups of our Yaoguang Cave wouldn't dare to carry out our original plan in the Tianmeng Mountains!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen burst into laughter.

"It seems that Fairy Ice Spirit knows quite a lot about this matter!"

"Heh heh, all these years, your Yaoguang Cave has treated the true immortals of our Tianmeng Mountains like ants!"

"And every so often, they make us fight each other. Is it all to find clues about that senior?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't my actions be exactly what the higher-ups of Yaoguang Cave want?"

Upon hearing this, the Ice Spirit Fairy's expression immediately wavered.

After pondering for a long time, the Ice Spirit Fairy nodded immediately.

"Perhaps you are right! In that case, I will refrain from interfering in the battles between your various sects for the time being. You can take control of everything yourself!"

"Haha, in that case, I thank you very much, Fairy! Rest assured, Fairy, I guarantee that after our Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect wins, the cultivation resources we provide for you this time will be increased by another 30%!"

"make a deal!"

……

Unbeknownst to them, while Jian Chen and Fairy Bingling were secretly discussing the events of that year, the powerful figures from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect who had been dispatched on missions were already engaged in fierce battles in the major cities near Qingcaojian.

These guys are already quite strong.

Moreover, they specifically chose to operate in small cities.

In just a few days, they easily conquered dozens of small cities.

Half of the cultivation resources in these small cities were taken directly by the guys who conquered them.

The other half was directly handed over to the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect.

As for the True Immortals who remained in the small cities, without exception, they were all killed.

It turned small cities into complete ruins.

This caused the Longevity Immortal Sect to suffer enormous losses in a short period of time.

Moreover, the Longevity Immortal Sect concentrated all its power in major cities.

They don't pay much attention to surveillance in these small cities.

Half a month later, when the small cities near Qingcaojian were almost completely devoured by the experts from Tianjian Immortal Sect and Tianhuang Immortal Sect, the experts from Changsheng Immortal Sect finally realized something was wrong.
