The chaos in The Great River District began when the Golden Core Ascendant Master, Pang Renxiong, returned.
The negligence of the Enforcement Team and the closure of the Dao Debate Platform simply added fuel to the fire.
The discovery of the Golden Core heritage and the battles in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range pushed everything toward a climax.
Until a few days ago, the joint actions of the Great Lake Gang, Lianyun Business Union, and Xuan Yihui, three powerful factions, obliterated the Broken Mountain Gang, pushing the chaos to a peak!
A massive battle involving thousands of people almost swept up over eighty percent of cultivators in The Great River District.
It disrupted many people’s peaceful lives.
But once it reached its peak, it would inevitably begin to decline.
The major conflicts had now ceased.
The recent key theme in The Great River District had apparently become the three factions dividing the spoils of the Broken Mountain Gang.
In this, the relationship among the three major forces wasn’t as harmonious as when they jointly attacked the Broken Mountain Gang.
The complexities were inconceivable to the ordinary person, but now they were fully exposed before the enormous benefits.
The Great Lake Gang wished to take over the force in the mountains one fell swoop, expanding from the waterway business to the land.
But this time, the Lianyun Business Union didn’t seek the help of others. They sent many high-level Qi Refinement experts and got involved.
Friction subtly arose between the two forces.
The Xuan Yihui, which once had a grand presence, was not united as it appeared on the surface.
The conflicts escalated in the process of dividing the Broken Mountain Gang’s spoils among the five Foundation Establishment families that constituted Xuan Yihui.
For instance, both the local Li Family and the new force, Nangong Family, engaged in Spirit Beast farming.
One side primarily bred Dragon Horses for transportation while the other side bred various demon beasts like Fu Zhu Deer and Yellow Ox.
Both sides were greedy for the resources of the Beast Hall left by the Broken Mountain Gang, thus igniting conflicts.
Represented by the young talents like Li Ao and Nangong Qin, both sides continuously competed.
Although the Nangong Family was powerful, Nangong Qin had been injured in the struggle with Qin Liangchen.
Therefore, when facing his peer Li Ao, he wasn’t as dominant as he used to be.
Compromise was an anticipated outcome.
Duan Family, for example, excelled at Tool Casting, naturally they want to completely take over the Broken Mountain Gang’s Mining Hall.
The ownership of several low-rank ore veins was involved in this.
If they acquired these low-rank ore veins, the craftsmanship of the Duan Family would certainly rise to another level.
But there was a problem, too many eyes were on the mining business which was profitable.
Even the sects!
Both Immortal Residence, which was backed by Ailao Mountain, and Wanbao Pavilion, which was backed by Tian Fan City, began to negotiate with Duan Family.
As a local Immortal Cultivation clan, the Duan Family should have shown resolute resistance.
But, the Ancestor of Duan Family, Duan Qiankun, didn’t have much lifespan left, hence his morale was low.
In the Xuan Yihui, the other two clans, Fu Family and Chen Family, were even more awkward.
Nominally they were Foundation Establishment clans, but aside from Foundation Establishment techniques, there was no Foundation Establishment cultivator in the clans.
Although the benefits they wanted were not many, they were benefits after all.
Under the circumstance that Xuan Yihui was not united, other local rogue small forces also wanted to get a share of the spoils.
It could only be said that the previous existence of Broken Mountain Gang drew people’s attention away from other small forces in The Great River District.
Whether it was the alliance of several cultivators at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement, or a group of Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivators banding together.
In any case, neither were easy to provoke.
Under these circumstances, a new force named "Luo Tian Creed" gradually emerged before the public eye.
According to reliable information, Luo Tian Creed was not an abruptly emerging force.
In fact, they were the unions of numerous surviving cultivators from the Broken Mountain Gang.
Their leader, Dan Chenzi, was previously the Pill Hall master of the Nine Halls of the Broken Mountain Gang.
Within the union there was also the granddaughter of the late Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, Mi Shuhua.
A strong lineup of leaders and the legacy of the Broken Mountain Gang were tightly grasped.
After the emergence of Luo Tian Creed, they did not participate in any resource competition.
They only declared that they hoped the brothers of the Broken Mountain Gang would come back, and also welcomed other rogue cultivators to join.
As for their treatment, it was different from other forces.
It’s said that in addition to the conventional benefits, every Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivator who joined Luo Tian Creed would receive a bottle of elixir personally refined by Master Dan Chenzi each month.
Admittedly, the latter proposition was quite attractive.
Although many people knew that the Jade Marrow Pill, refined by Dan Chenzi, could only meet the daily cultivation needs of Early and Middle Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators and was not of much help to Late Stage Cultivators.
But it was an extra benefit!
If you sold it, a bottle would surely sell for forty or fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Besides, who knew whether the Pill Refinement Grandmaster would refine elixirs useful for Late Stage Qi Refinement too?
For a while, many rogue cultivators started to become restless.
However, they were just restless.
Everyone was watching!
The Broken Mountain Gang was destroyed by the three major forces. Now, a small force inheriting the legacy of the Broken Mountain Gang had appeared. Would the three major forces sit idly by?
In particular, this small force didn’t have a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for support!
In other words, there were not many differences between them and other Rogue Cultivator small forces.
Many people were waiting for the three major forces to make a move.
By then, Luo Tian Creed might vanish like other small forces in The Great River District over the past few centuries.
The high-level members of Luo Tian Creed weren’t concerned about how the outside world saw them.
At the moment, they’d started to get busy.
Using Crescent Valley as their base camp, they started expanding their defensive construction. This was led by Duan Feng, an Elder of the Battle Hall.
The Deputy Hall Master Granny Yuan was not idle as well. Under her leadership, multiple Spirit Fields that formerly occupied the center of Crescent Valley were re-planned, and the procurement of various medicinal materials began.
