Chapter 345 - 182: Asura Divinity Transformation Hall, Qin Family Ancestor Appears (Part 2)
However, as the Asura Race can offer their lives and even souls, their belief constitutes a significant portion, enough to birth a new city within the Incense Fire Barrier.
This Asura Divine Hall is destined to be the resting place for the fallen Asura clansmen.
...
Meanwhile, Zheng Yi sent messages to the higher-ups of Fengdu City and Soul Hall.
He declared that a new territory had been demarcated at the heart of Blood City, called Nether Lake Territory.
On this new territory, a new city would be established, named ’Asura City’.
At the same time, the Asura Race was permitted to construct their own divine temple, the Asura Divine Temple.
A friendly cooperative relationship was established between Soul Hall and the Asura Race, with both parties achieving alliance and mutual watchfulness.
Though this news came too suddenly, leaving many bewildered, both the higher-ups of Fengdu City and Soul Hall complied with Zheng Yi’s decision and actively reached out to the Asura Race.
The Four Great Asura Demon Generals came forward, and after signing a series of mutually respectful and equal agreements, both parties amicably forged an alliance, thereby forming a coalition.
During the negotiations, the higher-ups of Soul Hall clearly noticed that the Asura Race’s numbers were indeed not large, and their women were extremely alluring, which momentarily dazed the Soul Hall leaders at first sight.
Similarly, the men of the Asura Race, though hideously ugly, were exceptionally strong, their entire bodies swelling with muscles, exuding suffocating evil qi. When they moved, they unleashed astonishing destructive power, showcasing the terrifying nature of these Asura warriors.
Though seeming sparse, every member of the race was elite. Picking any at random would suffice to easily face off against the top warriors of Fengdu City.
Both sides held a friendship match, ending almost in a draw. As for the more formidable Four Great Asura Demon Generals, they were terrifying to the utmost; not even the strongest of Soul Hall, like Lei Wuqian and others combined, could handle even one of them.
Originally, Soul Hall had been engaged in battle with Blood City for several months, nurturing some discontent about sudden alliance with the seemingly opportunistic Asura Race.
But now, with a very clear understanding of the Asura Race’s power, they naturally felt strong approval of Zheng Yi’s order.
In the Doomsday World, gaining such a powerful ally was undoubtedly a highly wise decision.
...
Zheng Yi hastily addressed the matter of alliance between Soul Hall and the Asura and returned to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.
Something significant was occurring there, having a profound impact on the Daluo Alliance.
Returning directly to the Daluo Alliance, Zheng Yi appeared in the main hall where Qi Lin was already waiting.
At a glance, Qi Lin’s aura looked chaotic, with injuries within, and his complexion was pale. Given his present cultivation, this state suggested severe damage.
"I failed in my mission, Xin Town Mine was lost, and I misplaced the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine. I plead for punishment!"
Seeing Zheng Yi’s figure unexpectedly appear on the alliance leader’s throne, Qi Lin’s previously frantic expression suddenly calmed, and he knelt to the ground with a thud, saying.
Xin Town was the mining area territory that previously belonged to the Xin Family and was occupied by the Qin Family. Later, the Daluo Alliance broke through this region, reclaiming the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine.
Zheng Yi’s expression remained unchanged, merely raising his right hand slightly, with Yin Yang Qi swirling at his fingertips, invisible Five Elements Particles surged forth, a rich Primordial Qi Divine Light shot from his finger, landing directly on Qi Lin.
His blood qi vibrated, and surging life essence qi washed over him, rapidly restoring his injuries, causing Qi Lin’s blood circulation to accelerate and his pale face to regain color.
"There’s no need for excess trivial talk."
Seeing Qi Lin attempting to kowtow, Zheng Yi waved him silent and continued, "Did the Golden Palace Sect’s Purple Mansion Cultivator intervene during the arrangement of the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array in Xin Town?!"
Qi Lin stood, yet respectfully bowed his head, speaking slowly, "The Nine Yin Hall exerted some effort, blocking the entire Golden Palace Sect. Indeed, a Purple Mansion Cultivator intervened; to avoid serious damage to the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array, I ordered a retreat, abandoning Xin Town. This Purple Mansion Cultivator was the Qin Family Ancestor who broke through the Purple Mansion Realm six months ago..."
As he listened on, Zheng Yi’s face showed a hint of solemnity.
It turned out, the Qin Family, with its centuries of legacy, possessed considerable depth, having several senior cultivators always in secret seclusion, attempting to break through to higher realm levels.
This situation had existed for over a hundred years, but the Qin Family had never succeeded, gradually drawing less attention from outside. Unexpectedly, while Zheng Yi was undergoing Celestial Reincarnation in the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, the Qin Family succeeded, producing a Purple Mansion Cultivator.
If this were before his Fetal Transformation and Shape-shifting, Zheng Yi might have been quite surprised by this news, but now, with his own breakthrough cultivation plus the creation of External Incarnation Nether River Ancestor, and a newly ascended Purple Mansion Cultivator is not something he takes seriously.
However, one point puzzles him: surrounding Xin Town, the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array was arranged, previously used to entrap three Outer Realm Cultivators, one of whom was at a Half-step Purple Mansion Realm.
Considering the subsequent coordination and familiarity, this Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array should encounter no issues blocking a cultivator newly entered into the Purple Mansion Realm, yet the situation evidently was not as expected; the array was withdrawn and heavy casualties ensued.
Evidently, despite the power of the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array, it failed to halt the progress of the Qin Family Purple Mansion Cultivator, something else must have gone wrong.
Next, Zheng Yi turned to Qi Lin with this question, seeking clarification.
This relates to whether Qi Lin, the primary decision-maker of this failure, needs to bear the main responsibility?
Yet Qi Lin’s following response caused Zheng Yi to furrow his brows sharply, struggling to comprehend.
Indeed, as Zheng Yi anticipated, an emergent Purple Mansion Stage cultivator was unlikely to break the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array’s barricade by himself.
However, the circumstance went beyond everyone’s expectations.
The newly ascended Qin Family Ancestor seemed insane, blazing a counterattack with the Qin Family, nearly ramming Qin Family elites into the array blindly, with his own injuries, sacrificing three deceased four wounded Foundation Establishment Stage members, and dozens of fallen high tier Qi Cultivator members, only then breaking through the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array.
Since Zheng Yi was absent, Qi Lin feared massive loss to the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array, losing the Daluo Alliance’s highest end of power, thus firmly surrendered Xin Town, retreating all forces to the Daluo Alliance.
In the process, he himself incurred injuries while blocking the Qin Family’s pursuit.
This wrung Qi Lin’s request for punishment upon seeing Zheng Yi.
For Qi Lin’s conduct, Zheng Yi felt satisfied; given the sudden shift, reversing roles, decisively executing measures without futile depletion of Daluo Alliance’s strength, and reducing losses of subordinate high-end cultivators, indicated effective handling.
As for yielding the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine and Xin Town, in his eye, was no severe transgression.
After all, the preliminary completion of Formless Sword Realm by Zheng Yi had lessened urgency for White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine.
Of course, the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine constituted the basis of the agreement between Daluo Alliance and Nine Yin Hall, necessitating its retrieval.
Seeing Zheng Yi not only forgiving instead of punishing him for losing the territory but also personally treating his injuries prompted Qi Lin to feel somewhat ashamed, silently pledging to fulfill Zheng Yi’s future commands impeccably.
Events circled back upon Qin Family’s seizure of White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine; upon reflection, Qi Lin perceived oddities therein.
"Sir, I’ve dispatched people to investigate the Qin Family’s circumstances, yet they’re heavily restricted, with no information obtained thus far."
The White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine, though immensely precious, ranked among the rare stones capable of refining Formless Sword Qi, yet staking the entire family’s fate upon seizing a small mine seemed highly inexplicable.
