The stone door slowly opened.

"Ancestor?!"

The two disciples who were dozing at the door startled and showed surprise on their faces. The last time Chen Luo left the sect, he did not tell these ordinary disciples. In their eyes, the ancestor had been in seclusion in the secret room for the past five years.

"Let Tang Hai and the others come to see me."

Chen Luo walked to the platform outside.

A cool breeze mixed with moisture blew over, mingled with the fresh fragrance of the mountain soil, refreshing the heart.

"yes,"

The two gatekeeper disciples responded immediately, and one of them flew quickly down the mountain.

The heavy rain continued. Tang Hai tried many ways to dispel the rain but failed. This made him even more uneasy. He even began to suspect whether this was the enemy's trick.

“Why can’t the rain go away?”

Hu Xi retracted her hand, and her expression was the same as Tang Hai's. She had tried to dispel the rain just now, but the effect of her magic was very weak. Even if she forcibly dispelled the cumulonimbus clouds, it would be useless. It wouldn't take long for these cumulonimbus clouds to regenerate. The magic power could act on the rain and clouds, but it couldn't completely dispel them. Unless the two of them stayed here non-stop to dispel the rain, but this was obviously unrealistic.

Just as the two were worried, a stream of light flew down from the top of the mountain.

"Master, the Grandmaster has come out of seclusion!"

When the gatekeeper disciple saw the two people, he immediately started reporting.

"Ancestor?"

Tang Hai was shocked, then overjoyed.

He ignored Hu Xi and the disciple who was communicating with him and flew to the mountain first. Hu Xi and other elders followed him. Unlike Tang Hai and his disciples, many of the elders joined later and had never seen the Wanxiang Patriarch. They had only heard some rumors about the Wanxiang Patriarch and knew that it was the Patriarch who repelled the invasion of the blood demon and saved the Wanxiang Immortal Sect.

"It's time for the rain to stop."

Chen Luo sensed Tang Hai's actions, but did not stop them. This was also his attempt at the 'robbery force'.

In the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators who have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage or above are rarely seen.

Most of the immortal cultivators have never seen the scenes of immortal cultivators above the Crossing Tribulation Realm taking action. Except for the Blood Demon who practices the Blood Sea Path, the cultivators above the Crossing Tribulation Realm are far from ordinary immortal cultivators. This also leads to the fact that the strongest immortal cultivators are the He Dao cultivators.

The heads and ancestors of medium-sized immortal sects are mostly at this level, while small sects mainly focus on Return to the Void and Transformation to the Spirit.

But in fact, cultivators in the Tribulation Realm and the Mahayana Realm have always been there.

Just like what Qiu Yuan told Chen Luo, they couldn't see it. Just like Tang Hai and the elders at the foot of the mountain just now, they had been trying to drive away the rain from the sky, but they didn't know why the rain appeared and who was responsible for it.

He stretched out his right hand and gently touched the 'mark' in the middle of the red aura.

The auras representing moisture, clouds, and lightning subsided, and the aura representing sunlight recovered. The red and blue auras returned to balance, and the gloomy sky visibly cleared up.

A ray of sunlight shone through the clouds that had not yet completely dissipated. The sunlight shone on my body, making me feel warm all over.

whoosh!

A stream of light came flying, followed by several more.

It was Tang Hai and others who rushed over after hearing the information.

"Ancestor, you've come out of seclusion?" Tang Hai walked forward quickly with a look of surprise on his face.

"Just got out of customs."

Chen Luo nodded. Tang Hai had performed very well in the past few years, and he was going to give him a brain later so that he could handle the affairs of the sect without delaying his cultivation. Only when his cultivation level improved could he serve the sect better.

"As soon as the ancestor came out of retreat, the rain in the sky disappeared. It seems that the rain is afraid of the ancestor's reputation."

The sun shone on him, and Tang Hai looked back in confusion. They had tried their best to dispel the rain at the foot of the mountain, but failed. The ancestor disappeared as soon as he came out of retreat, which made Tang Hai's mind flash with doubt. But he quickly put it behind his mind, and the words on his lips turned into flattery.

"Greetings to the Grandmaster."

Hu Xi and other elders flew up. Unlike Tang Hai, they still felt pressure when they saw Chen Luo, especially the three new elders at the back.

These three people were all strong men from other immortal sects before. After the blood demon destroyed the sect, they fled to the area where the Wanxiang Immortal Sect was located. Because they possessed some special abilities, they were recruited into the sect by Tang Hai and promoted to elders of the sect.

"These three are Elder Xiao, Elder Gui, and Elder Yu."

Seeing Chen Luo looking over there, Tang Hai immediately introduced the identities of the three people to Chen Luo.

Elder Xiao is a sixth-level talisman master, Elder Gui is a fifth-level weapon refiner, and Elder Yu is a fifth-level alchemist. They are now in charge of the three main peaks of the Wanxiang Xianmen: elixir, talisman, and weapon. In terms of managing the sect, Tang Hai is obviously better than the acting head chosen by the Wanxiang Patriarch. Many of the sect's current branch halls were established by him.

Chen Luo nodded, indicating that he had taken note of these three people.

Apart from these few people, the rest were the elders from the Wanxiang Immortal Sect, that is, the puppets "enlightened" by Chen Luo.

The three elders were also observing Chen Luo.

They had heard of the mysterious Wanxiang Xianmen ancestor for a long time, but they were inevitably disappointed when they actually saw him. Chen Luo's aura was very peaceful, not mysterious, and was very different from the overlord they had expected.

"I wonder what realm the founder is in?" Elder Yu couldn't help but ask.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Tang Hai and Hu Xi changed.

If it were them, they would definitely not dare to ask. Because they all have the "child worm" of the life-changing Gu in their bodies, and their life and death are all in the hands of the ancestor. But it is different from the three elders. The three of them joined later and have their own "skills", so it is inevitable that they will be a little direct when they speak.

"The current world of immortal cultivation is in great chaos, with immortals and top clans appearing in the world. If the founder does not have the cultivation to transcend the tribulation, it will probably be difficult for him to maintain the sect."

Elder Xiao also spoke up. They joined the Wanxiang Immortal Sect for a stable life. If Chen Luo, the pillar that supports the sky, is not able to do so, they will have to make plans early. When they joined the Wanxiang Immortal Sect before, they had discussed the conditions with Tang Hai, and Tang Hai agreed to their request at that time.

"My cultivation."

Before Chen Luo finished speaking, two streams of light suddenly flew in from outside. One of them was covered in blood and knelt on the ground when he saw Tang Hai.

"Master! That group of Fire Crow clan warriors have seized the mine, and the sect elders have been surrounded by them in the Skyfire Mine!"

"What!"

Tang Hai was startled and subconsciously wanted to give orders, but fortunately he quickly came to his senses and remembered Chen Luo's existence.

"Ancestor, the Fire Crow Clan appeared half a month ago. They have set their sights on the Fire Spirit Mine of our Wanxiang Xianmen and want to use the name of the Fire Crow Clan to buy the mine from us."

Tang Hai explained the situation inside in a few words.

The Fire Crow Clan is a superior clan among all the clans, second only to the Mahayana clans such as the Winged People Clan and the Golden Ant Clan in terms of strength. The ancestor of the clan has experienced seven reincarnations and is an old monster. After hearing the name of the Fire Crow Clan, ordinary sects will subconsciously choose to give in to avoid causing conflicts.

This was also Tang Hai’s initial strategy.

But he didn't expect the Fire Crow Clan to have such a big appetite. They asked for all the Fire Spirit Mines of their Wanxiang Xianmen. If these Fire Spirit Mines were given away, the subsequent income of their Wanxiang Xianmen would be directly halved. The spirit talismans and spirit tools related to the Fire Spirit Mines would not be able to be refined, and the chain reaction would affect the development of the entire sect.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Hai kept delaying and even thought of asking Elder Zong Ran to negotiate.

But he never expected that the Fire Crow Clan would be so domineering. They would attack him directly without any disagreement and did not take their Wanxiang Immortal Sect seriously at all.

"The Fire Crow Tribe? You want to buy the mineral vein just for a name?"

Chen Luo raised his eyebrows, and the brain responsible for memorizing the information of all races in the world of immortal cultivation immediately emerged in his mind.

'The Fire Crows are a superior tribe that likes to eat fire spirits and are on good terms with the Golden Crows.'

"The Fire Crow Clan is the most protective of its people, and the ancestor of the clan is very powerful. The sect I used to be in bordered the Fire Crow Clan, and I saw the Fire Crow ancestor take action once. There is a Flame Mountain to the north of the sect, and the flames on that mountain were left by the Fire Crow ancestor." A trace of worry flashed across Elder Yu's face.

They came here today to discuss with Tang Hai how to deal with the Fire Crow Clan.

"You stole my spiritual mine and injured my people?"

Chen Luo grasped the key point of the words.

He had just broken through the realm and was at his poorest. It was rare that Tang Hai managed the sect so well, allowing him to practice with peace of mind without worrying about resources. As a result, after only a few days of peace, someone took over his head.

Elder Xiao's temples throbbed twice when he saw this. He realized that there was something wrong with the focus of the Wanxiang Patriarch, and couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.

"The Fire Crow Ancestor is a strong man at the peak of the Tribulation Realm. He holds an extremely powerful magic weapon in his hand. Combined with the Fire Crow clan's innate magical powers, he has almost no rivals in the same level."

"Is this the reason why they stole my spiritual mine?"

Chen Luo interrupted their nonsense, stretched out his hand and used a little spiritual power to stabilize the injuries of the seriously injured disciple on the ground.

"Thank you, Grandmaster. Please help rescue my master."

The recovered disciple stood up to thank him. He had seen it now. The Grandmaster was the one in charge. If he wanted to save someone, he had to get the Grandmaster's approval. This disciple was Zong Ran's direct disciple. If Elder Zong Ran died, his position in the sect would plummet.

"Your master can't die."

Chen Luo reached out and patted the disciple on the shoulder.

He calmed down and made sure that the other party was fine before releasing his hand.

"Where is the senior in black?"

Seeing that Chen Luo was about to go down the mountain alone, Tang Hai, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but ask a question.

He remembered that the last time he fought against the Blood God Son, it was the senior in black who helped. Compared with Chen Luo, the founder of the immortal sect, Tang Hai believed more in Qiu Yuan, the visible cultivator who had transcended the tribulation. (End of this chapter)
