Chapter 107 The summons has been issued; chaos is about to erupt.
Two years later, Zhang Xuanchen was eighteen years old.
The family's reform and development have been completed.
Eleven halls, including the Hall of Sacred Elixir, the Hall of Divine Artifacts, and the Hall of Beast Taming, sprang up from the ground.
Each hall is five stories high and has its own unique architectural style.
Even the smallest department, the Enforcement Hall, has twenty-four members.
The largest group naturally belonged to the War Hall. Based on the family's past practices, it was clear that the War Hall was the most popular.
The number has now reached 108.
Of course, members of the War Hall can also join other halls.
The Nine Suns Fusion Heaven Formation was also completed a year and a half ago. Because of this formation, the family's alchemists and weapon refiners have undoubtedly made the fastest progress!
Of course, it's not just alchemists and weapon refiners who can cultivate within the area covered by the array; all members of the family can, especially those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques.
Zhang Xuanchen divided the area covered by the Nine Suns Fusion Heaven Array into three regions.
The Blazing Fire Pavilion in the outer area is used by fire-attribute cultivators for meditation and refining their spiritual power.
The Holy Pill Hall in the central area is a place where family alchemists gather to refine pills. Here, they can use the earth's vein fire to refine pills, which improves both the quality of the pills and the success rate.
Alchemists who have used it all say it's good.
Finally, there is the core area's secret realm, where many fire-attribute natural treasures of the third rank or higher are planted.
It is also a place where clansmen break through to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages.
Currently, there are relatively few clansmen. Once the clansmen grow in number, contribution points will definitely be collected in all areas except for the Holy Pill Hall, otherwise there simply won't be enough.
In the past two years, with the help of ample resources and advanced techniques, our overall strength has greatly improved.
The one who has made the most progress is naturally Zhang Xuanbing, who has already married Su Muyan.
Now at the age of twenty-four, his cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his strength has greatly increased.
With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Hongyan also successfully entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhang Xuanchen tidied himself up a bit, changed into a white robe, and walked out of the cultivation room.
"Hey? Clan Chief! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen emerge from seclusion, a chubby-faced young man rushed over in delight!
"Huh? Little Dragon, what are you doing here? It's been two years since I last saw you. You've grown so tall, and your cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining."
There are no outsiders here, just call me Seventh Brother.
With four spiritual roots, at thirteen years old, reaching the peak of the third level of Qi Refining is already quite impressive.
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's praise, Zhang Xuanlong smiled shyly, then, as if remembering something, quickly said:
"Seventh Brother, Third Uncle told me that if you come out of seclusion, you should go to the family hall to find him immediately."
Three months ago, the patriarch led one hundred clansmen and one hundred and fifty retainers away from the clan, citing a call from the Nine Hua Sword Sect; it seemed quite urgent.
"What?!"
The third uncle he mentioned was naturally Zhang Hongzhan.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanlong's words, Zhang Xuanchen was greatly alarmed.
The call from the Nine Hua Sword Sect means that the battle against the Soul Devouring Cult has finally arrived!
"Little Dragon, go home first and cultivate diligently."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen transformed into a blur and flew towards the family's main hall.
The family hall.
Zhang Hongzhan sat in his seat, handling clan affairs.
In the past two years, the Zhang family has reorganized all of its businesses.
Those affiliated forces that embezzled the family's mineral resources and spiritual herbs were all kicked out of the Zhang family. The Zhang family did not make things difficult for the families that chose to compensate with spirit stones.
After they paid the corresponding amount of spirit stones, they simply looted the spiritual items in their treasure vault.
The Zhang family showed no mercy to forces that were unable to compensate for the spirit stones, such as those that threatened the Zhang family by bringing up the Azure Sea Immortal Sect behind them, or even the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect outside the Penglai Islands.
They were wiped out completely, regardless of whether they were old or young.
As for the mortals, they were dispersed to various mortal towns within the family and intermarried with the Zhang family mortals. Within a few years, they would definitely be assimilated.
In addition, branches of the Xuanxiao Chamber of Commerce have been established throughout the towns and cities of Penglai Islands.
They set out to the immortal cities and markets of forces outside the archipelago.
In just two years, the entire Zhang family has been transformed, and its development has gotten back on track.
This information was clearly good news, but Zhang Hongzhan just couldn't feel happy about it.
This time, the Jiuhua Sword Sect's mobilization was the largest ever, directly drawing away half of the Zhang family's fighting strength.
During this period, all forces within the Eastern Tianlong Sea region ruled by the Jiuhua Sword Sect were prohibited from waging war.
There are no issues with the safety of the family.
But the fate of the family cultivators who were conscripted is uncertain.
If anything happens to the patriarch, the Zhang family's four-hundred-year-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!
Ok?
Little Dust!
Zhang Hongzhan was overjoyed to sense the people entering from outside the hall.
The kid has finally emerged from seclusion.
In the past three months, most of the clan's high-ranking members have left, Zhang Xuanchen is in seclusion, and Zhang Chongxian entrusted him with the management of all clan affairs before leaving.
What a pain! Alas!
Now that Zhang Xuanchen has emerged from seclusion, the pressure on him has instantly been halved.
"Father! What's the current situation between the Nine Hua Sword Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect?"
Zhang Xuanchen entered the main hall and got straight to the point.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's question, Zhang Hongzhan didn't mince words.
Explain the details of what you have collected.
A year ago, the Nine Hua Sword Sect dispatched a Nascent Soul stage elder, thirty Golden Core cultivators, two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and five thousand Qi Refining cultivators to attack the Soul Devouring Sect.
Due to underestimating the strength of the Soul Devouring Sect, they suffered a crushing defeat. The Nascent Soul Ancestor was seriously injured, 20 out of 30 Golden Core cultivators perished, most of the 200 Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed or injured, and all 5,000 Qi Refining cultivators were wiped out.
In order to preserve its own strength, the Jiuhua Sword Sect had no choice but to issue a summons, calling on all forces in the Eastern Tianlong Sea to send corresponding cultivators to provide support.
Of course, these people wouldn't work for nothing.
Because the Nine Hua Sword Sect has really gone all out this time, bringing out a large number of rare and precious materials.
As long as you have enough heads of evil cultivators, you can exchange them for Golden Core cultivators, third-tier cultivation techniques, or even fourth-tier rare and precious materials!
That's quite a big investment!
After hearing this information, Zhang Xuanchen frowned deeply.
"Father, after the defeat of the Nine Hua Sword Sect, they were forced to use the summoning order and brought out such precious natural treasures and elixirs to attract various forces to come and see. The power of the Soul Devouring Sect may be beyond imagination, and may even be stronger than the Nine Hua Sword Sect!"
This time, these righteous cultivators will definitely suffer heavy losses!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongzhan sighed:
"So what if we know? In this sea area, which force dares to defy the Nine Hua Sword Sect?"
Moreover, with the allure of elixirs like the Golden Core Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill, how many forces could resist?
To protect our families and develop our clan, we have no choice but to join the war!
The South China Sea Immortal Continent is vast and boundless, but it is divided into four regions: the Eastern Heavenly Dragon, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Black Tortoise.
Each sea area is governed by a Nascent Soul-level force.
As for the fifth one, it is naturally Tianya Restaurant.
Since their exact strength was unknown, and it was only known that none of the four major Nascent Soul forces dared to offend them, they listed them as the fifth Nascent Soul force in the South Sea Immortal Continent.
It is also the force that everyone is most afraid to offend.
