Chapter 817: The Battle Begins, Ancient Immortal Land (6K)_4
Yet they met with a tragic ambush by the Xuan Turtle Sea Clan.
The Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace each suffered the loss of a late-stage Dividing Spirit Realm Dao Body and an early or mid-stage Dividing Spirit Realm Dao Body, incurring heavy losses.
The Xuan Turtle Sea Clan declared that if the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace dared to set foot in the Fuling Sea Domain again, the Sea Clan would surely raise a beast tide to attack the shore and annihilate them completely.
It was then that Su Yu discovered that the group of Xuan Turtle Sea Clan previously in Canggu Immortal City had already left without a trace.
That afternoon, Gongsun Ziyou, the young lady from the Gongsun Family, arrived at the Talisman Pavilion. Upon seeing her, Su Yu suddenly asked, “Miss, do you think the Sea Clan dares to attack our Human Clan’s territory?”
Gongsun Ziyou was slightly startled, seemingly surprised that Su Yu would ask such a question.
...
However, she didn’t think too much of it, as there were rampant rumors flying everywhere about the Xuan Turtle Sea Clan and the two Human Clan powers, the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace, so many were discussing the matter.
Gongsun Ziyou lightly laughed and said, “The Xuan Turtle Sea Clan may be strong, but that’s only in the Sea Domain.”
“If they dare to come ashore, then their annihilation won’t be far off.”
“However, if they join forces with other Sea Clans and Demon Clans to make a move, just fighting against the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace without spreading the conflict further, the outcome would be hard to predict,” she added.
This assessment was not much different from what Su Yu had in mind.
Thus, even if the Xuan Turtle Sea Clan went to war with the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace, it was highly unlikely that it would affect other forces.
As for the Daqian Immortal Alliance…
What matters needed intervention and what did not, Su Yu believed that his senior brother, Taoist Master Hongyue, had his own judgment, and the Earth Immortal Mansion would probably not face much trouble.
“Then let them fight, best if they fight for a few hundred years,” Su Yu muttered to himself in his heart.
By that time, he would be able to deal with them one by one!
Another half a year passed.
A glamorous woman with her maidservants came to the Linglong Talisman Pavilion. The shopkeeper called Su Yu out, and together they entertained this distinguished guest from the Ying Family, the foremost family of Canggu Immortal City.
The noble scion of the Ying Family, the exceptional Ying You.
“You still can’t craft high-level, third-order Wan Ying Talismans?” Ying You looked at Su Yu, a glint flickering momentarily in her eyes. At that instant, Su Yu felt a probing sensation.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Dao Rhyme contained within the ‘Yin’ character celestial script, possessing unique methods for concealment and suppressing his presence.
The noble scion of the Ying Family most likely had not seen through his disguise.
Appearing somewhat awkward and nervous, Su Yu bowed his head and said hastily, “Not yet, my talent isn’t that great, and my current level of Cultivation is only at the seventh layer of the Core Formation Realm.”
Ying You contemplated for a moment before saying, “Prepare one hundred mid-level third-order Wan Ying Talismans in each category for me at your Talisman Pavilion. I’ll give you one year to prepare them, how about that?”
The assistant Shopkeeper looked to Su Yu; there were seventeen types of mid-level third-order Wan Ying Talismans, amounting to a total of one thousand seven hundred talismans!
And only one year’s time…
Su Yu took a deep breath, indicating a sense of difficulty, “I’ll do my best.”
After Ying You left a deposit and departed, the assistant Shopkeeper, both relieved and somewhat troubled, said, “You agreed too quickly. One thousand seven hundred mid-level third-order Wan Ying Talismans in just one year, how will you manage to craft them all?”
Su Yu sighed and said, “I’ll just have to squeeze in some time and see, and also take out a little bit of the stock I saved up before to see if it’s enough.”
Perhaps because Su Yu had landed a big order, the assistant Shopkeeper was in good spirits and spoke softly, “You did the right thing. If you can develop a relationship with Miss Ying You, it’ll be beneficial to both you and the Pavilion Master!”
Su Yu paid no mind to this; the talismans required by Ying You would be easy for him to complete.
But of course, this was something that he could not reveal.
Another year went by.
All of Linglong Talisman Pavilion’s orders were successfully delivered. However, during that year, the prices of Pill Medicines, talismans, Magic Artifacts, and other such materials soared across Canggu Immortal City. The Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace formally declared war on the Xuan Turtle Sea Clan and began to buy up resources and materials on a large scale for war preparations.
Half a month later, Gongsun Ziyou came to the Talisman Pavilion and summoned the assistant Shopkeeper and Su Yu, “One of the leaders of the Great Demon Clan, the Longmin Clan, has gathered over ten great Demon Clans within the Cangzhou Territory.”
“Not long ago, they sent out invitations to Canggu Immortal City, inviting Human Clan prodigies to participate in trials and competitions at the ancient spirit land.”
“The event will start in a year and last for ten years, open to Human Clan and Demon Clan members below the age of five hundred, with no limit on the number of participants.”
“Once inside the ancient land for the trials, life and death will not be accounted for, but both Demon Clan and Human Clan will invest a massive amount of resources into it, offering countless opportunities,” she informed.
“Moreover, the ancient land itself holds numerous legacies of the ancient Human Clan and Demon Clan. Perhaps, I’ll try my luck in the ancient land,” she continued.
“And during this period, I’ll leave the Talisman Pavilion in your two hands.”
