Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 241 - Plotting in Secret

Under the vigilant guard of Chen Fan, the breakthroughs for Chen Tianxiong and the others unfolded without any hitches.

Chen Tianxiong’s cultivation was already at the first level, so the drops from the Fountain of Life helped him advance to the second level.

Simultaneously, the three others advanced to the Yuanfu realm by forming their primeval vessels, significantly prolonging their lifespans.

“Xiaofan, this... what treasure is this? Just two drops were enough for us to make such significant progress!”

Chen Tianxiong looked at Chen Fan in shock.

The other three were in a similar state. After all, the drops were far superior to the Realm Breaking Pill, as Qi Grandmasters only had a sixty percent chance of advancing to the Yuanfu realm even with the pill.

Yet, a single drop had been enough for their advancement to the next realm. It was too shocking.

Chen Fan smiled, “Grandfather, the drops were from the Fountain of Life. A drop of it could produce a Yuanfu realm expert.”

Hiss...

Chen Tianxiong and the others sucked in a breath of cold air.

Chen Fan said, “Alright, Grandfather, I need you to help me pick out some outstanding clan juniors. I will perform martial infusion on them. In the future, our Chen Clan will only grow stronger; for that, we need more experts.”

“Alright!”

Chen Tianxiong immediately walked out with Chen Tianshi and the others. About an hour later, twenty young men and women entered a secret room.

Chen Fan wasted no time in unnecessary talk, explaining briefly before taking out Nine Revolution Golden Pills, Dragon Tiger Bone Strengthening Pills, and other precious elixirs. He focused on cleansing their meridians and enhancing their physiques.

Afterward, he repeated the process: he refined demon and corpse cores, transforming them into an enormous amount of vitality essence and injecting them into the twenty talents. He raised his voice and shouted, “Concentrate and calm your minds. Don’t get distracted. Revolve your cultivation technique!”

Chen Fan's sharp perception scanned everyone, ready to intervene at any sign of trouble and prevent them from exploding from the overwhelming amount of energy.

Chen Tianxiong and the others also kept their sharp eyes on the twenty juniors.

About half a day later, the martial infusion process was over safely. Their cultivation levels had all improved significantly, their auras were much stronger, and they were full of vitality.

“Xiaofan, this method of yours has truly broadened my horizons. Martial infusion... I’m afraid not even Core Formation realm powerhouses can perform martial infusion this well!” said Chen Tianxiong with a sigh.

Five of the twenty talents were now Qi Grandmasters; the rest were at the seventh or eighth level.

Chen Fan swallowed the demon cores in front of them, now hiding anything. He showcased his godly method of refining them. Chen Tianxiong and the others were astounded. After all, even experts in the Yuanfu realm couldn't replicate what he had just done without falling in danger.

Chen Fan chuckled, offering no explanation.

Demon and corpse cores were like poison to Chen Tianxiong and the others, but they were tonics to Chen Fan. The Heaven Seizing Furnace could refine all things, not to mention mere demon cores and corpse cores.

“Old Patriarch, our Chen Clan can now truly be worthy of being called a prestigious clan.”

Chen Tianshi laughed and said, “Now, we need both hands to count out Yuanfu realm experts. Our Qi Grandmasters exceed twenty, and we have numerous Qigong experts at the seventh and eighth levels.”

“That’s right. Who would have thought our Chen Clan would develop to this extent in just over a year?”

“Hoho, it's all thanks to the Young Patriarch. He's truly the backbone of our Chen Clan. With him, our clan will only grow stronger and larger."

“.....”

Chen Tianshi, Chen Tianhu, and the others were all oozing with happiness.

The Chen Clan had evolved into a genuinely prestigious clan, rivaling others in Watermoon City in terms of top experts and the strength of the younger generation.

Chen Fan took out the Mountain River Stars Grand Array he brought back from the underground tomb and set it up in the Chen Clan mansion. He also taught Chen Tianxiong and the others the method to control it.

With Chen Tianxiong's cultivation at the early stage of the second level, he could kill even third-level Yuanfu realm experts trying to breach it.

After arranging everything, Chen Fan didn't hastily return to Watermoon City; instead, he entered secluded cultivation.

......

Watermoon City, the City Lord Mansion, Zhao Clan:

Several figures could be seen gathered in a hall.

Outsiders would surely be shocked if they saw these people.

These individuals each held an esteemed position in Watermoon City, being patriarchs of various prestigious martial clans.

“Brother Qinghu, Brother Tianba... The City Clash Convention is in three days. Now that I’ve invited you here, this matter is settled.”

The Zhao Clan’s Patriarch, Zhao Kongming, was a middle-aged man with a tall and strong figure. He had a dignified appearance and a sharp gaze and was one of the two fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouses of Watermoon City. Additionally, his overall strength was ranked number one in Watermoon City.

“Hoho, Brother Kongming sent letters to the other four great clans this time, but they didn’t bother to show up. It seems they do not plan on getting on the same boat as us.”

To the left of Zhao Kongming was a middle-aged man with a short and stout figure. His bright, expressive eyes contradicted his shrill voice, creating an odd impression.

This person was none other than the Zheng Clan’s Patriarch, Zheng Qinghu. He was the other fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouse aside from Zhao Kongming.

“Even if the Qian Clan of the four great clans does not participate, can we not deal with one Chen Clan with our six great clans allying?”

The Li Clan’s Patriarch, Li Tianba, might have a domineering name but had a slim figure like a bamboo. It was as if he would fall over if a wind blew.

Despite his appearance, he was the third-strongest after Zhao Kongming and Zheng Qinghu.

The tone in Li Tianba’s voice carried a hint of contempt as he continued, “The Chen Clan only managed to establish a foothold in Watermoon City by wiping out the Lin Clan. Their foundation and strength are far from comparable to ours, no different from a nouveau riche. Their younger generation doesn’t stand a chance against ours."

The patriarchs of the other clans nodded in agreement.

Despite the Chen Clan's recent rapid growth, these long-established prestigious clans, rooted in Watermoon City for centuries, did not acknowledge them. The newcomers had no solid foundation and were incomparable to the veterans.

Zhao Kongming raised his hand, his voice resounding in the hall.

“Aside from targeting the Chen Clan in the City Clash Convention, I have invited everyone here for another matter.”

Zhao Kongming paused for a moment. His expression turned serious. The atmosphere in the hall became solemn.

Zhao Kongming continued, “The situation in Watermoon City hasn’t changed much in over a hundred years. So, I plan to make a big change in Watermoon City while we’re onto the matter with the Chen Clan.”

The hall fell deadly silent. Even the sound of breathing stopped.

Zheng Qinghu, Li Tianba, and the others narrowed their eyes, looking at Zhao Kongming.
