Chapter 625 - 605: Coming One After Another, and Countermeasures

"However, the major powers haven’t made any moves yet!"

"It’s also possible our intelligence network isn’t good enough, so we just haven’t received any news!"

Han Bingyu continued, pointing out a practical problem.

The Cyan Yuan Sect was only an overlord in a single state of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. Across the entire Taiyu Divine Continent, it was practically nothing.

Their intelligence network reaching the border region was already its limit. Anything further was beyond the Cyan Yuan Sect’s reach.

Therefore, the fact that the Cyan Yuan Sect hadn’t gathered any relevant information might not mean the major powers hadn’t acted, but rather that the sect simply lacked the channels to obtain such news.

This was a reality the Cyan Yuan Sect had to face.

Perhaps within Qing State, the Cyan Yuan Sect was very capable, but when the scope expanded, it was dwarfed by comparison.

"It’s fine. We’ll find out eventually!"

"Just pay close attention to the border cities near White Jade City and Yu City!"

Yang Chan was well aware of the situation. As long as the threat didn’t get too close, everything else was manageable.

However, intelligence from the border could not be ignored.

The fact that the Alien Race hadn’t continued their invasion into the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty was only temporary; they were still a threat. Moreover, they were lingering, perhaps with other plans, while also trying to get a clear picture of the current situation on the Taiyu Divine Continent.

Once they had figured things out, they would probably make their move. When that happened, the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty would likely be in trouble again!

Yang Chan was paying attention so that he would have a counter-plan before trouble arrived.

If worst came to worst, he could leave the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty and head directly to the Merak Sacred Land. That was another option for Yang Chan.

His cultivation had now reached the Cleansing Marrow Grandmaster Realm, he had completed the first stage of Bone Marrow Cleansing, and his Alchemy Ability had advanced to the level of an Advanced Pharmacist. He should be able to live quite well in the Merak Sacred Land.

At the very least, he wouldn’t just be cannon fodder. As long as he acted cautiously, he should be relatively safe.

The reason he used the word ’should’ was because of the various factional struggles within the Merak Sacred Land.

Once he entered the Merak Sacred Land, Yang Chan wouldn’t be able to avoid this situation. After all, he now represented the Merak Saintess’s faction.

The more times the Merak Saintess came to the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty and the deeper her involvement with the Cyan Yuan Sect became, the more tangled their connection grew.

Of course, people like Gu An hoped for this tangled connection, tacitly becoming part of the Merak Saintess’s faction. Otherwise, Gu An wouldn’t have participated so actively in the matter of the Purple Void Secret Realm.

After all, back then, the Merak Sacred Land had only asked the Cyan Yuan Sect to send people to assist them in acquiring opportunities within the Purple Void Secret Realm. The tasks weren’t demanding, just arranging some trivial matters.

Normally, as the Sect Leader of the Cyan Yuan Sect, there was no need for Gu An to go personally. But he did, and this represented a certain attitude.

However, because of Gu An’s arrangement, the Cyan Yuan Sect gained more from the Purple Void Secret Realm. Its members were able to acquire more Cultivation Resources, something the Merak Saintess’s side tacitly allowed. They let the Cyan Yuan Sect members get close enough to obtain some opportunities that the Merak Sacred Land didn’t particularly care about.

Of course, because of the Alien Race incident, the Cyan Yuan Sect also paid a heavy price. Most of the Servant Disciples were buried in the Purple Void Secret Realm.

Even the Elite Disciples and Direct Disciples were injured or even killed in the Purple Void Secret Realm. This was the price they paid.

No one could have predicted that the Alien Race would appear in the Purple Void Secret Realm. It was an accident, an unforeseeable one.

With gains came the responsibility of bearing such accidents.

Secret Realms were never safe to begin with. All sorts of accidents would happen one after another, and no one could perfectly avoid them.

Even though Yang Chan had left the Purple Void Secret Realm early, didn’t he still encounter danger and almost get trapped in Yu City?

It was only after the major powers emerged from the Purple Void Secret Realm that he was able to leave Yu City with relative ease.

"Alright!"

"I will make the arrangements!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bingyu nodded quickly. This was what she had been responsible for recently, so it was naturally no problem.

Even if Yang Chan hadn’t given the order, she would have collected the relevant information anyway!

It concerned the greater situation, so it naturally couldn’t be ignored.

Within the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, this was unavoidable. By being prepared when danger arrived, they would at least have a better chance of survival.

Han Bingyu had previously followed Yang Chan to Yu City and personally witnessed the brutality of the Alien Race. She knew that to survive an encounter with them, one had to employ ruthless methods.

’Otherwise, it’s best to just avoid them completely!’

By following Yang Chan, she naturally had other ways out, which was a good thing.

Having a choice was, of course, better than having none.

"Mm, you can go make the arrangements now!"

Yang Chan waved his hand, dismissing Han Bingyu to go make these preparations.

’I’ll continue to add points to upgrade the Peng Demon Martial Seal during this time and increase my Combat Power!’

’Life is unstable. The only thing to do is increase my Combat Power to protect myself!’

Yang Chan thought to himself as he watched Han Bingyu leave.

The Alien Race made Yang Chan feel deeply unsettled. It was like someone you had a bad relationship with was holding a gun. They might not necessarily shoot you, but you would always feel uneasy because you never knew if they would target you.

It didn’t take much malice. Just one well-aimed shot, and everything would be over. It would be too late for regrets then.

The Alien Race being entrenched in Yu City gave Yang Chan exactly this feeling. It was like a fishbone stuck in his throat—extremely uncomfortable.

And so, for now, Yang Chan could only focus on increasing his Combat Power to better protect himself.

As for leaving the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, it was still a bit too soon. For one, Gu An and the others had not yet returned to the Cyan Yuan Sect. Furthermore, the Alien Race was still some distance from Qing State, which was not the closest border region. Leaving immediately would be an overreaction.

’I hope the situation doesn’t get too bad!’

Yang Chan thought to himself as he swallowed a Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill. Although it didn’t help much with his cultivation, the Potential Points it provided made up for everything.

Right now, the Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill was the elixir that gave him the most Potential Points. Unless he could successfully refine the Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, it would remain in the top spot.

Yang Chan had high expectations for the Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The higher the refining difficulty, the more precious the elixir, the more Medicinal Power it contained, and naturally, the more Potential Points it would provide. For Yang Chan, who was eager to increase his Combat Power, this was the best possible solution.

’I’ve pretty much figured out the refining process for the Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. After one or two attempts at most, I’ll definitely be able to refine it successfully.’

’At that time, my Daily Potential Point Collection will break through to a new level again.’

’I hope it provides a lot of Potential Points this time, enough to significantly boost my Daily Potential Point Collection. That way, I can master the Peng Demon Martial Seal sooner. My Combat Power will increase by another significant margin, and I won’t be completely powerless against a Martial Saint!’

Yang Chan thought to himself as he was refining the elixir’s Medicinal Power.
