Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1495: Two Sects at War

Originally, the full-scale conflict between the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and the Golden Sword Sect only needed a spark to ignite, but the appearance of Yang Dong’s corpse undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Yang Dong’s body was discovered at Burial Artifact Ridge by a few disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion who were out on a training mission. The body had first been burned by a fierce fire, then destroyed by a spiritual artifact, resulting in an extremely tragic death.

Among those disciples training outside was Han Feng’er, and it was Han Feng’er who first saw Yang Dong’s body and brought it back to the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion.

If Yang Dong had died elsewhere, it might not have been a big issue, but Burial Artifact Ridge is where the Golden Sword Sect discards damaged spiritual artifacts, and it is considered one of their most sensitive territories.

Burial Artifact Ridge is heavily guarded by many Golden Sword Sect disciples, and ordinary martial artists cannot enter. The only possibility people could think of for Yang Dong’s body appearing there was that the Golden Sword Sect killed him to silence him and then dumped his body.

No matter how the Golden Sword Sect explained it, they could not clear it up.

The tens of thousands of disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, already harboring a great deal of anger over the death of their fellow disciple Yang Fei, could no longer hold back their rage when Yang Dong’s body was brought back from Burial Artifact Ridge.

"This is a conspiracy by the Golden Sword Sect. They want to break us down one by one, gradually nibbling away at the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion until they devour us completely!"

"The Golden Sword Sect is sinister and vicious. Their hearts deserve to be condemned!"

"If we don’t avenge this, how can the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion stand in Flaming Sun City?"

"Fight the Golden Sword Sect to the death!"

"Kill the old scoundrel Tie Han!"

...

Tens of thousands of Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion disciples were in high spirits, attributing the deaths of Yang Fei and others to the Golden Sword Sect. They clamored and gathered in front of the Pavilion Master’s main hall, demanding Mu Enze to lead them into battle.

Tens of thousands of martial artists gathered together, with spiritual energy permeating the atmosphere, their fighting spirit soaring and pressure enveloping the surroundings, causing half of Flaming Sun City to tremble.

Upon hearing the news, the Golden Sword Sect on the other side of Flaming Sun City immediately began calling their disciples back, preparing to respond to a possible war. noveldrama

However, just as the Golden Sword Sect’s call was issued, tens of thousands of Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion disciples, led by Pavilion Master Mu Enze and the high-ranking members, stormed across the Lotus River, launching a fierce attack on the Golden Sword Sect’s territory.

Unlike previous small-scale conflicts between the two sects, this time the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion had an all-out mobilization of nearly every disciple, demonstrating an attitude of not resting until the Golden Sword Sect was destroyed.

Due to their thorough preparation, as soon as the battle began, the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion side was sweeping through with unstoppable force, occupying many of the Golden Sword Sect’s territories, seizing vast amounts of cultivation resources, and leaving thousands of Golden Sword Sect disciples dead or injured.

Although the Golden Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, they were ultimately a strong sect with deep foundations. After initially responding hastily and losing vast cultivation resources along with numerous personnel casualties, they finally steadied the situation, halting the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion’s attacks.

Now, across the entire Flaming Sun City, aside from the likes of Fang Bai and a few others, only the upper levels of the Golden Sword Sect knew they were wronged.

The deaths of Yang Fei, Yang Dong, and even the bodies of Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion disciples found on the Lotus River had no connection to the Golden Sword Sect.

But to the frustration of the Golden Sword Sect’s leaders, the evidence found on those corpses all pointed to them, causing even many Golden Sword Sect disciples to suspect their own sect leaders were responsible.

Even though the leaders of the Golden Sword Sect felt very "wronged," they knew there was no way to argue their case when faced with the all-out attack from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion.

At the same time, the unrelenting attacks from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion enraged the Golden Sword Sect. Knowing this battle was about the sect’s survival, they prepared to fight with the resolve to destroy their means of retreat, engaging in a great war against the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion.

The Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion had the upper hand early on, but as the overall strength between both sides was not vastly different, the vigorous resistance from the Golden Sword Sect gradually eroded that advantage, eventually leading both sides into a stalemate with both offensive and defensive tactics.

This was the result both leaders feared most.

They knew that the prolonged depletion of strength would inevitably lead to rapid decline, opening opportunities for those scheming sects dreaming of taking over to sweep in, potentially seizing the dominant position in Flaming Sun City.

Yet by this point, both sides were stuck; whichever side showed any weakness might be crushed by the other in one blow, even if not annihilated, finding it difficult to stand in Flaming Sun City.

The promising stability and harmony in Flaming Sun City ended with the onset of the war between the two main sects, the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and the Golden Sword Sect.

Order within the city began to unravel, and conflicts and disputes among martial artists grew like mushrooms after the rain, with powerful martial artists rampaging unchecked, while the weak lived in constant fear.

And at this moment, Elder Fang Bai, who was trusted by all levels of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and responsible for safeguarding its headquarters, quietly rescued Li Sanfu from captivity, healed his injuries, and arranged for him and Ren Tianfu, along with other Lingxu Palace disciples in Flaming Sun City, to swiftly return to Lingxu Palace.

Tong Yaoyao and the other Medicine King Mountain disciples, after receiving assurances from Fang Bai, left in high spirits and hurried back to Medicine King Mountain.

Soon, elite disciples from Lingxu Palace and Medicine King Mountain would arrive in Flaming Sun City, filling the power vacuum left by the collapse of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and Golden Sword Sect, and becoming the new rulers and hegemons of Flaming Sun City.

The other sects attempting to fish in troubled waters were destined for futile efforts and would reap no benefits.

After the Lingxu Palace and Medicine King Mountain disciples left Flaming Sun City, Fang Bai didn’t idle. He began to maneuver between the various forces within and outside the city. Through a combination of soft and forceful tactics, he quickly assembled a powerful force centered around himself.

This force quickly surpassed even the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and the Golden Sword Sect at their peak.

Even more astonishing, nearly all the alchemists and artifact refiners in Flaming Sun City became part of this force.

The reason Fang Bai could quickly unite this force boiled down to the word "interest."

For those disciples of small sects or individual cultivation martial artists, Fang Bai promised that after Flaming Sun City stabilized, they would be given priority access to spirit pill refinement and spiritual artifact upgrades, as well as guidance in cultivation techniques and martial dao, highlighting their areas for improvement.

For alchemists and artifact refiners, Fang Bai promised to impart some alchemy and artifact refining techniques to notably increase their success rate.

When encountering sects or martial artists who resisted, Fang Bai wasted no words, directly using his Golden Core Realm strength to forcefully suppress them into submission.

With power to intimidate and benefits to entice, all parties within and outside Flaming Sun City flocked to Fang Bai, looking to him for leadership.

It could be said that if Fang Bai wished, he could effortlessly take control of the entire Flaming Sun City and become its sole ruler.

However, Fang Bai’s pursuit lies in returning to the Immortal Realm and reaching the pinnacle again, not stopping his progress for the sake of a mere city.
