Chapter 1823: Chapter 918

East Wu.

After Sun Huanglong received the news that Zhou Ye was presiding over the construction of the Immortal City at Fengyu Wu, he fell into deep thought.

Why did the Blue Emperor of the Five Elements Sect send Zhou Ye here?

Now that the Poisonous Dragon has been cut down, is there no more worries, is it time to make a move against the Sun family?

Is the next step to annex East Wu?

Sun Huanglong, thinking like a local, easily guessed the “truth.”

But what does it matter to have figured it out.

Lacking the power, if the Five Elements Sect truly attacked them, even if the Sun family relied on the Rank-4 Large Formation of the Huangwu Immortal City for a while, it couldn’t last forever.

The more Sun Huanglong thought about it, the more bleak the future of the Sun family seemed.

“Sigh…”

With a long sigh, Sun Huanglong appeared much older, as he sat down in his seat, unable to think of any way to resist the Five Elements Sect.

“Brother, why the long sigh?”

At this time, a beautiful, fair-skinned female cultivator walked in; seeing Sun Huanglong’s appearance, she couldn’t help but sound surprised.

“The Five Elements Sect is going to attack us in East Wu…”

The female cultivator was Sun Huanglong’s sister, Sun Huangling, being the most trusted person in the Sun family, and so there was no concealment as he revealed the truth he knew.

“That Zhou Ye is actually from the Zhou family?”

After listening, Sun Huangling was also shocked.

Back then, the Zhou family in East Wu was also at its peak, almost able to challenge the Sun family’s status, but then the Sun family found an excuse to wipe them out by accusing them of colluding with the Poisonous Dragon Old Ancestor.

Such a blood feud certainly cannot be reconciled.

It’s said that Zhou Ye is a genius who obtained true teachings from the Hun Yuan Old Ancestor. If not for the sudden rise of the Blue Emperor of the Wood Vein, who now controls the Five Elements Meridians, it would certainly be him in charge.

“It’s a pity that eldest brother failed in Nascent Soul Formation, otherwise we wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.”

When Sun Huangling said this, sorrow appeared in her eyes.

Sun Huangji, Sun Huanglong, and Sun Huangling were siblings of the same mother, the first two being talents of the Sun family, both reaching the Perfect Core Formation. Sun Huangling was much worse, merely a Heterodox Golden Core, and due to the lack of a fearless mindset, she still dared not truly strive for the Core Formation Realm.

But the bond between the three siblings was good. Sun Huangji and Sun Huanglong both took care of Sun Huangling, and because Sun Huangling was a Heterodox Golden Core with more free time, she was responsible for many matters of the Sun family in East Wu.

“The Poisonous Dragon Old Ancestor was slain by the Yi Yuan Taoist Child. If our Sun family wants to maintain ourselves under the great pressure of the Five Elements Sect, I must succeed in Nascent Soul Formation.”

Sun Huanglong thought and thought, and this was the only way to break the predicament.

“Brother, I don’t want to lose you after losing eldest brother.”

Sun Huangling was full of concern upon hearing Sun Huanglong’s words. Sun Huangji’s talent was almost comparable to the Old Ancestor of Huangwu, and even with a Coagulation Infant Pill procured by the Sun family from East Land, he still failed in Nascent Soul Formation.

Sun Huanglong didn’t have a Coagulation Infant Pill. Directly hitting the Nascent Soul Realm was very likely to fail.

“It was just a thought…” Sun Huanglong shook his head. He naturally understood that with his foundation, attempting Nascent Soul Formation without the aid of elixirs was virtually a death sentence, but it was indeed the only method.

“Here’s the plan, you first lead a group of elite disciples from the family and leave East Wu. In the Desolate Sea, the old ancestor of Huangwu had a Spiritual Island, where family mortal descendants from East Wu were relocated…” Sun Huanglong considered and recognized that with the Five Elements Sect clearly intending to annex East Wu, there was no point in resisting directly.

At least the family’s legacy must be preserved.

“Brother, what about you?” Sun Huangling asked with a face full of worry.

Sun Huanglong: “The Five Elements Sect is surely keeping an eye on the Sun family. Perhaps several nearby families have already been won over by Zhou Ye.”

Sun Huanglong: “I’m undoubtedly their primary target. At least until you’ve safely left, I must guard the Huangwu Immortal City to prevent the Five Elements Sect from despairingly attempting to wipe out the Sun family.”

Sun Huanglong: “You leave first with the family’s talents and foundations. I’ll assess the situation, and if possible, I’ll keep my strength for future revenge.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Huangling could only accept the arrangement.

Soon after, many of the talented young disciples of the Sun family were summoned back to Huangwu Immortal City from all over East Wu, under the excuse that the demonic beast troubles in Yun Meng Ze had been eradicated, and it was a great opportunity to hone themselves; hence the Sun family organized them to hunt demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze.

Regarding this matter, the other Cultivator Families in East Wu paid no mind.

Because everyone now knew that after slaying the Poisonous Dragon Old Ancestor, the Five Elements Sect’s next step would be to annex Yun Meng Ze, and then East Wu.

Yet that Yi Yuan Taoist Child from the Holy Land had high ethical standards, so the Five Elements Sect hadn’t yet marched over. But in East Wu’s eyes, it was only a matter of time.

Aside from the Sun family, all other Cultivator Families had already prepared to surrender.

Before the Five Elements Sect’s arrival, they definitely aimed to exploit as much as possible.

At least with half of Yun Meng Ze still belonging to East Wu, all families had dispatched their Treasure Ships, starting to hunt various demonic beasts and gather water pearls, medicinal herbs, and so on.

They were almost fishing by draining the pond.
