"Let's leave here first." Chen Jiuge shook his head.
Turning to look outside the chamber of comrce, the streets were still bustling as ever, with no one noticing the significant changes at the Zi Jing Blossom Chamber of Comrce's premises. The news of Thunder God Temple's full-scale invasion hadn't reached this core Immortal City.
Lou Boxuan, urgently summoned back, stepped out from the void and saw his disciple.
"Master?" Chen Jiuge said with so surprise.
"I was planning to teleport from Five Luminaries City to find you. Didn't expect you are also in Five Luminaries City."
"Master, what's going on with that Thunder God Temple?" Chen Jiuge inquired.
Waving to isolate Jiang Xueyao, Lou Boxuan said solemnly, "I don't know much either. It's said that the Jiang Family is secretly working with the Beast God Sect, and Thunder God Temple has already pledged allegiance to the Beast God Sect. This ti, they deliberately sent a large number of Jiang Family's direct descendants and so Golden Immortals to our Five Elents Sect's territory to die."
"Is it to interfere with the war between us and Thunder God Temple? But it doesn't make sense. How could the Jiang Family agree to use their direct descendants to die? And those Golden Immortals, isn't the cost too great?" Chen Jiuge said incredulously.
"That's the strange part." Lou Boxuan sighed lightly.
"On my way here, I found that those Jiang Family direct descendants sent to die were extrely arrogant, and those Golden Immortals were ridiculously weak."
"I just entered Golden Immortal stage, yet I could forcibly kill those Golden Immortals, it's simply unbelievable."
At the end, Lou Boxuan still looked incredulously at his own hands.
This issue was clearly beyond Chen Jiuge's scope, and Lou Boxuan naturally understood this and didn't expect Chen Jiuge to answer.
"Clap"
A small green sword was slapped into Chen Jiuge's hand by Lou Boxuan: "This sword contains a strike of my power, unmatched beneath Golden Immortal level, and can hold off even Golden Immortal for several breaths."
"Master...."
"Return to the Exploration District. As long as Five Elents Sect isn't destroyed, the City of Exploration over there won't move." Lou Boxuan waved his hand.
"Alright."
Chen Jiuge didn't overestimate himself by saying he would live or die with the sect. He was just a simple One Flower Heavenly Immortal, rely a slightly larger ant in the conflicts between Five Elents Sect, Thunder God Temple, and the even more terrifying Divine Beast Sect.
An hour passed quickly, Zhu Ying returned with a small batch of cultivators.
Looking at so few people, Jiang Xueyao's face turned dark: "Just this few people?"
Zhu Ying chuckled bitterly: "He Qingshan moved faster than us and emptied nearly half of the treasury. If not for the remaining big half requiring your authorization, we wouldn't have gotten anything."
"This old dog, sooner or later he'll be chopped!" Jiang Xueyao ground her teeth.
"It's just a little resource, aren't we going to earn it back!"
"Now, follow ."
As Chen Jiuge finished speaking, the remaining batch of people from the Zi Jing Blossom Chamber of Comrce quickly moved towards the Transmission Array.
...
Not many people recognized Chen Jiuge's appearance, but quite a few knew of his reputation. After showing Lou Boxuan's identity token, Chen Jiuge smoothly beca a privileged person, imdiately teleporting back to the Twenty-First Exploration City.
Old You walked up smiling, asking, "Steward Chen, what's the situation?"
"You didn't know?" Chen Jiuge asked with so surprise.
The news of Thunder God Temple's full-scale invasion of Five Elents Sect hadn't been officially announced, but most disciples with a bit of background got the ssage.
As one of the biggest resource outputs of the Five Elents Sect, the City of Exploration couldn't be entirely unaware!
Old Zuo snorted coldly: "Our two brothers don't have a Golden Immortal Master, nor any family power."
Chen Jiuge understood. To those noble disciples within the sect, the disciples of the City of Exploration were basically expendable nobodies, utterly dismissed.
After pondering for a while, Chen Jiuge still reminded them: "Thunder God Temple and our Five Elents Sect have gone to war. You should receive notification after a while."
Ignoring their shocked expressions, Chen Jiuge quickly led his subordinates back to Star Moon City.
"Chairman Jiang, Zhu Ying, settle down first. It's best to rebuild the Zi Jing Blossom Chamber of Comrce, but be cautious, as the cultivators here are different from those in Five Luminaries City."
"Alright, no problem." Jiang Xueyao nodded.
"This is my hand order. Go straight to the City Lord Mansion. Soone there will arrange accommodation for you, but I'm afraid there are no good spots left."
"It's fine, just finding a place to settle is already good." After the previous turn of events, Jiang Xueyao had beco more resolute.
After giving instructions, Chen Jiuge proceeded straight ahead, passing through the array outside the Star Moon Pond, and took out the constantly flashing token from his waist. It was Xiao Hong's communication token.
Chen: "What's going on? Why is it so urgent?"
Xiao: "Why wouldn't it be urgent? Your Five Elents Sect and the Thunder God Temple have gone to war!"
Chen: "I know, I just ca back from the Five Elents Sect."
Xiao: "You went back to the Five Elents Sect? But this ti, your Five Elents Sect might be in so danger!"
Chen: "Are you talking about the Beast God Sect?"
Xiao: "Yes."
Chen: "That's unlikely. The Beast God Sect is so far from the Five Elents Sect, and their relations with the neighboring Demon Domain aren't good. They can't possibly deploy much force."
Xiao: "The Beast God Sect is much stronger than the Five Elents Sect, and the Thunder God Temple is no weaker than your sect. Don't you think the surrounding sects won't take advantage of the situation? At least the wealthy Puppet Sect might, since they love doing such things."
Chen Jiuge's heart sank. This was exactly the scenario he feared the most. The Five Elents Sect has a very ancient heritage. If everyone retreated to the Five-Colored Peak, there wouldn't be a problem.
But that's impossible; cultivation isn't just empty words. Sitting in ditation alone isn't enough. Gaining insights into the great path isn't just theoretical talk. Everyone must go through the mortal world and endure tribulations to reach the peak.
"I'm just a small Heavenly Immortal. I can't intervene in this. It's already good enough if I can survive." Chen Jiuge responded with a wry smile.
"True enough."
After ending the communication, Chen Jiuge rubbed his forehead, feeling sowhat dissatisfied, "Just watching like this leaves feeling uneasy!"
During his ti at the Five Elents Sect, Chen Jiuge was happy. They sheltered him during his weakest period and provided him with ample resources. His master, grandmaster, and even the grandmaster of the past treated him with great care!
"Watching helplessly like this unsettles my Dao Heart."
Muttering to himself once again, Chen Jiuge had made up his mind.
"Ci Yao, gather my senior brothers and sisters!"
After engraving the images of Yue Yinghua and Wu Daotian onto the imprint stone, Chen Jiuge spoke with seriousness, "I will send the Wind God Roc to assist you. Bring them back as soon as possible."
Having been in Star Moon City for many years, Chen Jiuge naturally hadn't forgotten about those two. He had long known their whereabouts and had even invited them to co over, but in pursuit of honing themselves, they had declined.
But now, the situation was different. With the Five Elents Sect facing a life and death crisis, the sect had beco a coveted prize. Bold loose cultivators would no longer be concerned about the identity of Five Elents Sect's disciples. The cultivation of his senior brothers and sisters was still too low.
"Yes, master."
"Wait, inform Mo Yu to strengthen the city's defenses during this period."
"Understood."
After making the necessary arrangents, Chen Jiuge took a deep breath and said, "Thunder God Hall, now let give you so trouble!"
Outside, a Heavenly Immortal like Chen Jiuge wasn't worth ntioning, but it was different in the exploration area. The area hadn't fully integrated with the True Realm yet, so at most, only Golden Immortals could act, and they had to be extrely cautious.
If causing excessive destruction affected the integration of the exploration area, that Golden Immortal would be in a miserable position. Disrupting the growth of the great path would be noted down, resulting in a Heavenly Punishnt, sothing on the level of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.
The Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm rapidly expanded. In the surrounding void, an illusory light gate appeared, waking up the spiritual beasts sleeping inside the secret realm.
"What's happening, what's happening?" Dabai charged out, making a ruckus.
"Master?" Following closely, Yue ng was the first to notice Chen Jiuge.
Black Eye, cautiously bringing up the rear, relaxed a bit upon discovering Chen Jiuge.
Behind them was Hong Yue and other Fairy Beasts.
"I didn't expect my grandmaster to pack everything I had left at the sect into here," Chen Jiuge was pleasantly surprised.
"Things are a bit complicated. Go directly to the City Lord Mansion to find Mo Yu and get the details."
"Co on, really? Is there, once again, soone who's got it out for us?" Dabai said arrogantly.
Ignoring this troublemaker, Chen Jiuge dove headfirst into the light gate, planning to cultivate enough spiritual beasts quickly to harass the exploration city areas of the Thunder God Temple.
