Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 39: Full-scale War

Did the people from Black Iron Mountain Villa attack?

Upon hearing the cry of the cultivator from the Bamboo Leaf Gang, the residents of Green Willow Lane were immediately filled with shock and fear.

As independent cultivators, they were willing to spend a large sum of money to rent in the Bamboo Leaf Forest in order to seek the protection of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

But now, they were unexpectedly implicated in the conflict between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Mountain Villa.

"Yinger, Yue'er."

"Both of you, quickly go back inside and pack your things, be prepared to move at any time."

"Wen Fellow Daoist, come with me to see the situation outside."

Chen An reacted very quickly and immediately made the necessary arrangements, displaying the demeanor of a head of the household.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue were obedient and worriedly said, "Husband, Wen sister, please be safe," then turned and hurriedly went inside to pack their things.

Wen Zhiyun also changed her previous attitude of constantly humming and singing against him, silently following him out of the courtyard.

At this moment, in Green Willow Lane, cultivators stood in front of every household.

Everyone was watching the situation, considering whether they needed to relocate their entire family to escape.

But after watching for a while, apart from the terrifying explosion that occurred at the beginning, the core area remained calm.

Chen An noticed that the Bamboo Leaf Gang cultivators stationed in the core area were all running towards the cheap area where he used to live, instead of running towards the border between the Bamboo Leaf Forest and Black Iron Mountain Villa. This made him feel somewhat puzzled.

Did these Black Iron Mountain Villa cultivators not attack from the border between the two factions?

Soon, he remembered the scruffy male cultivator who had taught him a lesson in the cheap area market before.

A male cultivator who claimed that his father was an elder of Black Iron Mountain Villa.

At that time, this scruffy male cultivator often brought people to cause trouble in the cheap area market.

At that time, he thought it was just a spoiled young master who had nothing better to do and wanted to show off and gain attention.

Now it seemed that this person was not simple.

He was very likely a spy from Black Iron Mountain Villa.

Then the question arose.

Was the attack he encountered on the way from the cheap area to the core area related to this scruffy male cultivator?

Chen An fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he had a hope in his heart.

He hoped that this scruffy male cultivator would die in this battle between the two factions.

Otherwise, with an enemy around, he would always feel uneasy.

"Everyone in Green Willow Lane!"

"Black Iron Mountain Villa attacked the southern cheap area, which is twenty miles away from the core area!"

"It is very safe for everyone to stay in the core area, there is no need to panic!"

"During this special period, everyone should stay in their houses and not wander around, especially not leave the core area without permission!"

"Otherwise, you will be treated as a spy for Black Iron Mountain Villa and be executed on the spot!"

Seeing the residents of Green Willow Lane running out of their houses, the Bamboo Leaf Gang manager responsible for the core area walked over and said.

Everyone looked at the manager and many couldn't help but ask:

"Manager Li, why did the people from Black Iron Mountain Villa suddenly attack?"

"Yeah, this is too sudden."

"Manager Li, if you don't let us go out, we won't be able to earn money to pay the rent."

"..."

One after another, the crowd asked.

Manager Li didn't find it annoying, he just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, soon you will have the opportunity to earn rent."

The crowd looked at each other.

They wanted to ask more questions, but before they could speak, Manager Li had already left.

"What do you think?"

Wen Zhiyun looked at Chen An and asked.

Chen An glanced in the direction of the cheap area and then looked at the calm core area, saying, "Let's take it step by step. Let's continue staying here for now. After all, it's chaotic outside and not very safe."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Wen Zhiyun nodded without hesitation, looking like Chen An's concubine.

Chen An also noticed this, but he didn't make fun of her.

He was pleased with Wen Zhiyun's change.

He didn't want Wen Zhiyun to retract her current gentle attitude because of a momentary joke.

At this moment, Han Sanfan, who lived nearby, walked over and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, I feel that Bamboo Leaf Forest might not be safe. I have a friend in Baihe City. If something really happens in Bamboo Leaf Forest and we need to flee, Fellow Daoist Wen can come with me to seek refuge with that friend."

What do you mean by this?

Are you trying to steal my thunder in public?

Chen An's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

But before he could say anything, a female cultivator from the opposite side spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Han, you've gone too far. Fellow Daoist Wen is with Master Chen Dan. By openly flirting with Master Chen Dan's companion, be careful not to earn Master Chen Dan's resentment."

"That's right, friends' wives should not be deceived. Fellow Daoist Han is so disrespectful, he will get beaten sooner or later."

A female cultivator who had just come out of her house carrying a chamber pot joked.

After saying that, she poured the chamber pot outside, and a strong smell of urine instantly filled the air.

"You two old hags, don't falsely accuse me. I didn't mean that at all."

Han Sanfan scolded the two female cultivators and then turned back to Chen An with a smile, "Master Chen Dan, please don't misunderstand. What I meant just now was that Fellow Daoist Wen and Master Chen Dan can both come with me to seek refuge with my friend."

"Master Chen Dan, I have something to attend to at home, so I'll go back first."

Seemingly guilty, Han Sanfan casually explained and then turned and left.

Chen An didn't pay any attention to what he said at all.

At this moment, what he cared about was that Wen Zhiyun didn't refute the female cultivator's words about them being companions.

It seemed like she had tacitly agreed to this relationship.

At least that's how it appeared to outsiders.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

In the cheap area, the people from Black Iron Mountain Villa and Bamboo Leaf Gang were still in conflict.

And the scale of the conflict was getting larger.

The war had spread to another cheap area.

Even the front border was starting to see large-scale clashes.

Overall, the war between the two factions had fully erupted.

It would only escalate in the future.

But the good news was that the core area remained calm.

Apart from some price increases, it was not significantly affected.

After all, the core area was located near the center of Bamboo Leaf Forest, which was close to the headquarters of Bamboo Leaf Gang.

As long as Bamboo Leaf Gang didn't fall, the core area wouldn't be in danger.

However, many residents in the core area didn't have much confidence in Bamboo Leaf Gang.

In terms of strength, Black Iron Mountain Villa had the upper hand.

And several more days passed.

The war between the two factions escalated, but neither side went all out. They were still in the probing stage, and the situation was temporarily unclear.

As a result, the residents in the core area were still living peacefully and were not greatly affected.

Over time, everyone inevitably relaxed.

They felt that the two factions wouldn't fight too fiercely.

At most, they would clash in places like the border and then stop.

It wouldn't be long before they would negotiate peace.

Chen An also felt the same way. He felt that Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Mountain Villa wouldn't fight too intensely.

After all, the leaders of both sides were long-time cultivators in the Foundation Building stage. They couldn't possibly be unaware of the saying "when two dogs fight, a third one profits."
