My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 150 Decision

Miao Village was attacked by unknown assailants, resulting in the complete annihilation of the Miao family and the burning of the village into a wasteland. The Miao descendants who were staying in Dawan Village were devastated and wanted to offer the destroyed 1.8 mu of sacred land in Miao Village as compensation, asking Dawan Village to find the murderer and uphold justice for them.

3 month 29 day,
The Mutual Aid Alliance claimed to have included a total of sixty-one villages under its name and had organized a patrol guard composed entirely of cultivators.

4 month 1 day,
Several villages belonging to the Mutual Aid Alliance were attacked by unknown individuals, resulting in the destruction of several villages and significant losses. The alliance leader appeared and publicly declared that he would personally take action and make sure that the perpetrators were captured. He vowed to make the criminals pay for their crimes no matter where they fled!
4 month 7 day,
Outside Qingcheng, Nangong Cheng fought a fierce battle with an unknown, mysterious man in black. According to some lucky passersby who witnessed the battle, the power of his battle fluctuations was at least above the ninth level of Qi Refining. Rumors circulated that Nangong Cheng had seemingly benefited from the misfortune and had advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

4 month 11 day,
A caravan comprised of several chambers of commerce, including the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce, Duobaolou, and Qiongyu Chamber of Commerce, which had rented temporary inns in the east of the village, was ambushed by Jiexiu 300 miles outside Qingcheng. Among the ambushers was a master at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Fortunately, Nangongcheng arrived in time to provide assistance and repel the enemy.

Nangong Cheng also demonstrated his Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivation in this battle.

4 month 19 day,
In the Dongshan area, a massive battle suddenly broke out for unknown reasons. Several experts at the ninth level of Qi Refining fought and killed each other. Outsiders dared not peek in, and the specific reasons for the conflict and the specific people involved were unknown.

All that is known is that Xia Congyuan, the owner of Yuqi Manor, who was once as famous as Wu Yuanzhi, the head of the Wu family in Wujiaji, and was recognized by outsiders as the most likely person in Qingcheng to advance to the Nascent Soul realm, was one of the people involved in the chaotic battle.

Many disciples of Yuqi Manor also appeared in the vicinity one after another.

4 month 23 day,
Someone seems to have discovered traces of the head of the Qi family, another powerful clan in Qingcheng, in the Donghu area. Some speculate that the Qi family's current descendants are incompetent and may decline in the future. Their ancestor, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, may also be involved in this struggle to seize the Azure Essence Water Grass to refine the aptitude of his bloodline descendants and add a few geniuses to the family.

4 month 27 day,
Wu Family Village had been closed off, with no one entering or leaving. However, on that day, a group of mysterious men in black attacked Wu Family Village, resulting in a chaotic battle. Several plumes of smoke rose into the sky, and many city walls and buildings collapsed. The battle seemed to involve true cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and the fluctuations of the battle were extremely astonishing.

An hour later, the attack seemed to have failed completely. The remaining men in black withdrew from Wujiaji and disappeared into the mountains.

4 month 29 day,
It seems that some of the men in black who attacked Wujiaji have been captured. Rumors are circulating that the attack on Wujiaji was orchestrated by the demonic forces from the Southern Yue Kingdom.

5 month 2 day,
For several days in a row, twenty or thirty villages in the borderlands were suddenly massacred, with no people or livestock left alive.

Someone approached Nangong Cheng and Xia Congyuan, the master of Yuqi Manor, as well as several renowned figures from the nearby cultivation world who had attracted attention. After their investigation, they concluded that it was the work of demonic cultivators.

Most of those villages were sacrificed by demonic practitioners.

5 month 8 day,
External conflicts are increasing, and the number of deaths and injuries is rising.

But for some reason, more cultivators are coming from other places. While Master Si Xian and many business owners are happy, they also reveal some worries in their words.

5 month 15 day,
The leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance, together with the head of the Qi family and several outside helpers, launched an attack on a group of thieves hiding somewhere. Several eighth-level cultivators were killed, and the alliance returned victorious. As soon as this news came out, the reputation of the Mutual Aid Alliance grew even stronger. It is said that several small trading companies and some merchants contacted them, preparing to set up shop in the territory of the Mutual Aid Alliance.

5 month 20 day,
Someone somehow obtained a Biyuan Water Grass, but the news leaked, triggering a massive battle. The Mutual Aid Alliance, the Qi Family, the Yuqi Manor, and many other forces were drawn into it, and experts at the Qi Refining Realm from the outside world also entered the fray. It is rumored that there are even members of the Demonic Path hiding among them.

The number of people involved in the chaotic battle was roughly estimated to be over a thousand, with hundreds of people dying as a result.

5 month 26 day,
The chaotic battle over the Azure Essence Waterweed has temporarily come to an end. The person involved is dead, and the Azure Essence Waterweed was destroyed in the struggle. How and where the precious herb was found remains unknown. However, this news has greatly excited many cultivators, and many are already converging on the battlefield, conducting a thorough search of the surrounding area for any related clues.

Battles and bloodshed occurred frequently.

5 month 30 day,
A caravan composed of several merchant guilds, including the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce in the eastern part of the village, was attacked again 500 miles away from Qingcheng. Although they repelled the enemy, the major merchant guilds suffered heavy losses, especially in terms of personnel.

Master Si and the others discussed the possibility of raising some spirit stones to ask Dawan Village to help them wipe out the bandits on the trade route, or to ask Dawan Village to accompany the group on a few occasions.

If the situation continues to worsen, the caravan may have to leave.

Shen Changchuan sat in the chair,

The information recorded in the book in his hand swept across his eyes one by one.

The events recorded here,
His heart sank.

trouble,

It's getting bigger and bigger!
What is certain is that the current situation is rapidly and irreversibly heading towards chaos.

The fact that various forces were intertwined and fighting each other was already troublesome enough.

but now,
Once the incident involving Biyuan aquatic plants came to light,
It was like pouring a raging fire into boiling oil!
Let the situation escalate further!
It is conceivable that,

With the appearance of Biyuan aquatic plants,
There is real-world evidence to prove that...
Most of the various forces that were initially observing and thinking the rumors were unreliable will likely take action one after another!

This is pushing the situation in this desolate land further and further towards chaos!
In this chaotic situation,
True cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm are hidden in the shadows, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Masters at the late stage of Qi Refining have emerged one after another.

In this context

What should be done about Dawang Village?

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel worried.

Actually,
According to intelligence gathered by my maternal grandfather Han Qinhu, the chaos in the market recently is several times greater than it was a few months ago!
In a short period of time, more and more villages have been destroyed!

Countless opportunists, lurking in the shadows, are waiting to take advantage of the chaos, but they remain silent.
This has turned the desolate borderlands into a giant powder keg!
