Chapter 19: Ascension Elixir
As a low-level Loose Cultivator parasitic in the market district, Chen Li didn't care who was on top, nor could he change it.
However, living within it, he still either actively or passively heard some rumors.
There are no walls that can keep out the wind in this world.
No matter the secret, as long as more than two people know it, it can no longer be truly kept, especially when it involves an alliance of multiple sects. Too many people and complicated eyes make it difficult to maintain secrecy.
It hadn't even been a few days before rumors about the war had spread everywhere.
The war was initiated by an alliance of three neighboring sects, with the Artefact Sect being just one of them. The other two were the Returning True Sect and the Hongshan Sect. This war was not the all-out conflict one might imagine, but merely a probe.
It was said that three Golden Core Ancestors were seated on the three Flying Boats initially.
However, from beginning to end, the Longevity Sect made no response whatsoever.
Maybe the withering Golden Core Ancestor of the Longevity Sect really had met some calamity, or perhaps they had other plans, or maybe something else... but no matter which, there was no doubt that the turmoil in this area was not truly over.
Chen Li only hoped that this turmoil would not spread to 'Green River District' again.
He was inclined to leave this place, but on second thought, the road might not be any safer than where he was.
