Chapter 1476: Wanrong advanced

“Martial Uncle Duan, of course, I entered Pill Sun Sect in the hope that I could learn skills! Although I didn’t expect to be an errand boy, working as an errand boy is also being an odd-jobber disciple of the sect. I also didn’t approach Martial Uncle Shangguan. I spoke only a few sentences with her while sending her spirit herbs. Again, I ran into her at the mystic realm and then walked alongside her. That’s all.”

“If anything, it is true that Martial Uncle Shangguan took care of me since she thought I was very young. How can Martial Uncle Duan ask these strange questions?”

With an innocent look, Feng Jiu told him, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Martial Uncle Shangguan. However, since returning to the sect, she seems to be in seclusion. She hasn’t called me to send her spirit herbs and I haven’t seen her for a long time as well.”

“Seriously, is it as simple as that?” Duan Mubai was still suspicious.

“Yeah. Otherwise, what does Martial Uncle Duan think?” She asked with confusion, cocking her head to one side while thinking. “Is there a problem when Martial Uncle Shangguan looks at me kindly? She’s a gentle person, isn’t she? Why does Martial Uncle Duan have such a strange idea that I intend to snatch Martial Uncle Shangguan?”

She asked again, meeting his examining gaze with a gracious look. Her limpid eyes were without the slightest sign of timidity.

Duan Mubai stared at Feng Jiu for a while. Seeing the young man had a gracious look and crystal clear eyes, he withdrew his glance and commanded calmly. “Later, stay far away from her.” With this, he turned around and left.

Feng Jiu’s eyes flickered as she watched Duan Mubai departing. As his figure gradually got further away, her lips curved, revealing a villainous and unrestrained smile.

“In fact, I should tell you that. Stay away from my mother, otherwise, I won’t be so easy on you.”

She spoke in a calm and unhurried voice. Then, she retracted her gaze and walked down the peak with a smile on her lips.

In the following days, she went to the cave where her mother advanced to take a look. Although the cave’s formation array was fully activated, she held the jade card given by her mother to enter and leave the cave at will.

In this tranquil, as the days went by, Chen Dao’s injury was getting better and better. From being unable to get out of bed to now getting to his feet and moving around. His recovery was extremely fast. In addition, the news that he could get out of bed and move about was blocked. No one else knew except Feng Jiu and Luo Heng.

In this regard, Chen Dao was all the more thankful and full of admiration towards Feng Jiu, because what she previously told him was true. He was close to full recovery in less than three months. In a few days, he should have been able to heal completely.

On this day, there were several peals of thunder in the sky, as if someone was advancing. As soon as the thunder spread, it surprised the people at Third Sun Peak and even alarmed everyone at the Pill Sun Sect.

Especially, when the alchemists at the top of Pill Sun Sect learned that it was Master Third Sun’s disciple Shangguan Wanrong who was advancing into the Nascent Soul stage, they were even more envious and amazed.

“She hasn’t entered the sect for long, yet her strength has progressed very fast. I believe she was just a Foundation Building cultivator at that time. Now, she is a Nascent Soul. It’s really something to look forward to.”

“Yes, she is also Master Third Sun’s disciple and a member of our sect. Such a person really is a genius.”

Chapter 1477: A Nascent Soul is born

“Reportedly, she also cultivated combat skills, unlike most alchemists in our sect who only cultivated their spirit energy. It’s good to have one more person with fighting strength, so that those people won’t say our alchemists can only refine pills and can’t fight.”

“Exactly. People said that Shangguan Wanrong was brought here from a country below. Her fighting strength is something that people much anticipate. It seems that we have to send a gift to Master Third Sun, to congratulate him on receiving such a good disciple, to congratulate his disciple advancing into Nascent Soul!”

“Hahahaha, this is a must, a must.”

Several peak masters above the main peak were chatting and smiling. They all made up their mind to send congratulatory gifts to the Third Sun Peak.

Meanwhile, in the Third Sun Peak.

Keeping watch outside her mother’s cave dwelling, Feng Jiu leaned back against the big, lush tree. She was both happy and worried to see the third tribulation lightning stroke down.

Finally, her mother entered into the Nascent Soul.

For the past three months, she had been guarding this place. No one else was able to enter the cave, but she went in every once in a while. Moreover, when her mother was in seclusion, Feng Jiu once gave her a bottle of potion that could help her advance. She also controlled the date of her mother’s entry into the Nascent Soul within these three months.

She knew that once her mother successfully advanced, the next thing they had to work hard to deal with: Master Third Sun would definitely look for the opportunity to make her mother disappear without a trace!

While she was deep in thought, Duan Mubai and others came to her mother’s cave to inquire for news. All the four men reached the cave’s exterior and looked at the mighty pressure and spirit energy breath pervading from the depth of the cave.

“Senior Brother, Junior Sister has really advanced! It’s just barely 3 months!”

“I didn’t expect that she has actually become a Nascent Soul cultivator in 3 months. It’s unimaginable, so incredible!”

“When I entered Nascent Soul from the Golden Core peak level, it took me several years even with the help of pills. Yet, it took her only three months. Perhaps, the medicinal pills Master gave her was the best quality advancing pill?”

“Right. It’s really fast. Her speed is incredible.”

Hearing these, Duan Mubai looked at the tightly-closed cave with a profound gaze. “Junior Sister’s talent is also excellent, isn’t it? If not, Master would not accept her as his disciple. Moreover, it’s not like nobody else has entered Nascent Soul within three months. It’s not something to fuss over.”

Meanwhile, in the ninth peak, Master Third Sun’s eyes brightened when he saw the tribulation lightning shot down. He couldn’t cover his surprise and excitement: “It’s a success! She finally entered the Nascent Soul stage! A Nascent Soul is born! Hahahaha!”

With excited laughter, he got up quickly to go to the eighth peak. He couldn’t wait to see Shangguan Wanrong who just entered the Nascent Soul stage.

When Master Third Sun arrived at the eighth peak, he saw many people surrounding the entrance of the peak. However, still many more disciples entered the peak and came to the cave’s surrounding for discussion.

At the very front stood his few disciples Duan Mubai and others. Seeing this, he straightened his mind. After a light cough, he calmed his excited mood and stepped forward. A deep voice filled with displeasure rang out from his mouth.

“What are you all doing here? Don’t you have work to do? Disperse quickly!”

“We pay respects to the Peak Master.” Many disciples saluted at once and withdrew a little.

“We’ve seen Master.” Duan Mubai and other disciples turned around, also giving him a salute.

When Master Third Sun was about to nod in response, he suddenly sensed that someone was staring at him…

Chapter 1478: How ill-mannered!

Who was staring at him?

His face sank. He looked around but that gaze vanished without a trace as if it was just an illusion.

Was it an illusion?

His eyes were glum as he started to ponder. Then, he heard Duan Mubai and his other disciples’ voices.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Not only those few disciples looked at him, but also the disciples around them also looked at Master Third Sun and felt that he seemed a little strange.

Master Third Sun dismissed this thought and glanced at them. “It’s nothing.” He looked at the cave dwelling and asked, “Your Junior Sister should be coming out from the seclusion soon.”

“Yes. We didn’t expect Junior Sister to enter Nascent Soul in three months. Her talent is remarkable.”

Master Third Sun stroked his beard with a smile as if he was also very happy.

“Founder, other peak masters have sent their disciples here. Right now, they are waiting for you at the ninth peak.” A disciple rushed in to report.

Master Third Sun was surprised and then nodded. “Mm, I know.” He told Duan Mubai and his other disciples, “Just wait here! Wait for your Junior Sister to leave the seclusion and go together to the ninth peak. I have some instructions for her.”

“Yes.” Duan Mubai and others responded. They saw him walking past the crowd. Before leaving, he stopped to glance around and then left.

Duan Mubai saw that and also looked around with some doubts, pondering inwardly, “What is Master looking at? Is there something around here?”

But, leaning on the big tree, Feng Jiu was staring fixedly at the departing Master Third Sun until his figure was completely invisible and only retracted her gaze after.

Her mother advanced, and here he came. Instructions? What kind of instructions could he have? She would see what kind of game he was planning next.

After retracting her gaze, she saw Duan Mubai staring at her direction and was coming towards her. She curved her lips but didn’t go down. She kept sitting on the tree watching him approach.

“What are you doing here?”

Duan Mubai wrung his brows and stared at the boy in blue sitting leisurely on the tree. That figure in blue hid among the luxuriant leaves in complete silence that it was difficult to spot her.

If he hadn’t looked around and found that the boy who paid great attention to his junior sister wasn’t among the crowd, he wouldn’t have noticed the big tree not far from the cave.

But, when did the boy come? How could he conceal his breath so well? Was he the person whom his master was looking for just now?

Feng Jiu was all smiles when she looked at Duan Mubai who stood under the tree. “Martial Uncle Duan! How do you know I’m here? You are awesome.”

“Why are you here? What are you doing here again?” Duan Mubai asked again, looking a bit unsightly.

“Isn’t Martial Uncle Shangguan advanced? I’m here to watch the fun and wait for Martial Uncle Shangguan to come out! Isn’t Martial Uncle Duan also waiting for her? Isn’t everyone coming here for the excitement?”

Duan Mubai raised his head and looked at the young man smiling with a pure and innocent look. Although knowing what the young man said was exactly like this, he could not help feeling that there was something wrong. After some thoughts, he looked up at the errand boy and his face sank.

“Come down and answer me. How ill-mannered of you to sit on the tree!”

Feng Jiu was startled. She responded with an “Oh.” Then, she jumped down from the tree and landed in front of him.

Chapter 1479: Find the time

Seeing the boy smile with his eyes narrowed to crescents, Duan Mubai held back the raging fire in his heart. He wanted to vent his anger but couldn’t find any way to let it out. He obviously sensed that there was something unusual about this boy. Regrettably, this boy didn’t do anything excessive, making him feel both helpless and choked with resentment.

“Senior Brother, Junior Sister is coming out.”

When she heard the voice from behind, Feng Jiu looked at Duan Mubai with a smile. “Martial Uncle Duan, Martial Uncle Shangguan has come out of seclusion. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and have a look first.”

Duan Mubai frowned and turned back wordlessly.

Feng Jiu walked slowly behind. When her mother came out, her mother’s gaze overlooked the crowd and fell on her with a gentle smile. Seeing this, she responded with a big grin and waved to her.

Duan Mubai followed Shangguan Wanrong’s line of sight and saw Feng Jiu again. Seeing the interaction between them, a contemplative light flashed in his eyes.

“Junior Sister, you’re so awesome. You entered Nascent Soul within three months!”

“Junior Sister, how on earth did you accomplish this feat?”

“Junior Sister, congratulations!”

“Congratulations, Martial Uncle Shangguan…”

The crowd shouted their congratulations every now and again. This time, Duan Mubai came forward and told her in a low voice, “Junior Sister, now that you came out of seclusion, go with us! Master was here just now and asked you to go see him at the ninth peak. He has something to tell you.”

“Alright.” Shangguan Wanrong replied, then she followed them to the ninth peak. Before leaving, she cast a reassuring glance at Feng Jiu, telling her that there’s nothing to worry about.

Feng Jiu walked behind the crowd but did not follow them going up the peak. She intended to wait for her mother to come back and then ask for the news.

Meanwhile, at the ninth peak, the direct disciples of each Peak Masters sent gifts in person, hoping to meet the Shangguan Wanrong whose name they only heard but had never met.

Master Third Sun chatted with those disciples and asked them to thank their masters on his behalf. Not long after, a disciple came to report that Duan Mubai had come. With a smile, Master Third Sun told them, “They’re all here. You’ve seen some of my disciples before, however, the youngest one, Wanrong, you have never met, so I will take this opportunity to introduce her. In two days, I will send her out to take care of some business. I don’t think she’ll be back so soon. ”

“Also, Junior Sister Shangguan was so favoured by the Peak Master. Now that she has advanced to Nascent Soul, it’s a must to send her on a trip to gain experience outside.” A middle-aged man nearby smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I heard that Junior Sister Shangguan not only has combat skills, but her alchemy skill is not inferior to her several senior brothers. I believe that she will definitely be on a higher level after returning from the trip.”

“It’s a good thing we got here in time! Otherwise, we won’t be able to meet Junior Sister Shangguan. ”

“Right, right.”

Some of them spoke with a smile. Before long, several people headed by Duan Mubai come in.

“We pay respects to Master.” They saluted to him, then cupped their fists to salute the crowd on the opposite side. “Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, I hope you’re all well.”

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Duan, I haven’t seen you for ages. If my master hasn’t told me to come and send gifts this time, I’m afraid it would be difficult to see you!”

“Senior Brother Li is busy refining pills, so of course it’s rare for you to go out and walk around.” Duan Mubai spoke with a smile. “Why don’t we find the time to drink a few cups of wine and chat freely?”

Chapter 1480: What do you think?

“Of course, let’s do it.” Several of them laughed out loud. This matter was thus settled.

“This must be Junior Sister Shangguan. Meeting the person is better than just hearing a good reputation.” An alchemist spoke out while staring at the gorgeous, sweet-tempered Shangguan Wanrong who was dressed in white. His eyes brightened at the sight of her.

The sight of beauty is a delight to anyone, let alone seeing a beautiful person. Shangguan Wanrong’s remarkable appearance was absolutely one of the best not only in the Third Sun Peak but also in all the Pill Sun Sect. Otherwise, those few disciples of Master Third Sun wouldn’t be completely devoted to her.

“Wanrong has met all the senior brothers.” With a faint smile, she gave them a slight bow.

“Haha, you don’t have to be too polite. We were ordered by our masters to send gifts to Junior Sister Shangguan. Then, as we thought that Junior Sister should have already come out, we waited to meet you here.”

The alchemist spoke with a smile. “Junior Sister Shangguan has certainly not let us down! Not only are her appearance and temperament remarkable, but her talent is also exceptional. Senior Uncle Third Sun really has a good disciple.”

“Senior Brother, you flattered me.” She bowed her head slightly and smiled. Then, she looked at Master Third Sun. “Master, I heard from the First Senior Brother that you have an instruction for me? What is it about?”

“Oh? Since Senior Uncle Third Sun has an instruction to convey, we’ll take our leave first.” The alchemist surnamed Li cupped his fists to salute Master Third Sun and nodded to Duan Mubai and Shangguan Wanrong. When he was about to leave, he heard Master Third Sun’s laughter.

“Hahaha, this is not a serious matter. You don’t need to leave.”

Master Third Sun smiled and looked at Shangguan Wanrong. “Wanrong, here’s the thing. You have now entered Nascent Soul and became a Nascent Soul cultivator. Your alchemy skill is also excellent. Therefore, I plan to let you go on a trip to gain experience outside. This trip will take you a long time. While travelling, help me to look for a spirit herb called Five-coloured Agave.”

When she heard this instruction, Shangguan Wanrong was startled. She was somewhat confused. A deep thought and suspicion flashed in her mind, but those emotions didn’t surface on her face. “Master, do you wish for Disciple to gain experience outside while looking for Five-coloured Agave at the same time?”

Since he brought her to this place, he refused to let her go out. Now, how was it possible to let her go out and look for the spirit herb Five-coloured Agave? What on earth was he up to?

Even Duan Mubai was stunned. Apparently, he didn’t expect their Master to ask them to come for this reason. Therefore, after some thoughts, Duan Mubai said, “Master, if you ask Junior Sister to gain experience outside, Disciple is willing to travel together with her. After all, Junior Sister’s experience is still shallow. Disciple can look after her.”

Several of the disciples nearby listened. Even though their expression changed when looking at the two, they kept silent.

The disciples of other peaks smiled. “So, that’s the thing. Master Third Sun just told us that he had a mind to send Junior Sister Shangguan out of the sect and gain experience for a long period of time. We all thought it was a good idea.”

“The Peak Master is very kind to his disciples. He has good plans for his disciples.” Another alchemist said with envy. Their masters wouldn’t set up this kind of plan for them. If they wished to leave the sect, they had to apply and arrange all their activities themselves.

But, Master Third Sun coughed lightly and cast a glance at Duan Mubai. “I have other arrangements for the several of you. Your Junior Sister is going for an experience outside, you also can’t stay idle.”

As he said that, he looked at Shangguan Wanrong. “What do you think of Master’s plan to let you leave the sect and gain experience outside?

Chapter 1481: Leaving the sect to gain experience outside

Shangguan Wanrong looked at him, pondered for a while and answered in a soft voice, “I will obey Master’s arrangement.”

Master Third Sun nodded with satisfaction at her answer. “Good. Return and pack at once. You can set off tomorrow!”

When Duan Mubai heard “set off tomorrow”, his eyes shrank. He opened his mouth to say something, but Shangguan Wanrong had already answered Master Third Sun. After a salute, she retreated first.

“Hehe, we’re also taking our leave. We must return and report to our Masters!” The disciples of other peaks also cupped their fists in salute and left one after another.

Finally, only Duan Mubai and several others remained.

“Master, what do you need us to do?” Duan Mubai asked. His gaze fell on Master Third Sun in front of him. His heart was slightly heavy, because he was aware that when his junior sister left this time, perhaps…

Master Third Sun’s gaze swept over several of his disciples and stayed on Duan Mubai. “I’ll be in seclusion to refine pills for a period of time. No one is allowed to enter the ninth peak. I’m leaving the affairs in Third Sun Peak to your care. Don’t let the disciples run amok.”

“In addition, Mubai will deal with any important matters. Remember, my seclusion this time is crucial. No matter what happens, you can’t go to the ninth peak to disturb me.”

When those several disciples heard this, they could only glanced at each other, then answered him respectfully, “Yes, disciples obey Master’s instructions.”

Feng Jiu was waiting at the eighth peak. When she saw her mother coming down from the ninth peak, she wanted to greet her. However, when she saw many disciples of other peaks coming down while talking, she stopped.

After all, it looked strange for an errand boy like her to approach Shangguan Wanrong. So she didn’t come close, but cupped her hands and congratulated her mother with a smile, “Congratulations to Martial Uncle Shangguan for entering the Nascent Soul’s realm.”

Shangguan Wanrong smiled. “Mm.” She walked past Feng Jiu and went to the cave first.

Feng Jiu stood aside while watching he disciples of other peaks were talking and passing her to leave. When he was about to walk to the cave, he saw Duan Mubai and several others coming down.

“Why are you still here?” Duan Mubai stared at Feng Jiu with knitted eyebrows and a look of displeasure in his face.

Feng Jiu winked at him. “Martial Uncle Duan, I’m an errand boy! All I do is run up and down this place. It’s not strange for me to be here, is it? ” Why was Duan Mubai so fond of staring at her? She was not in his way.

“Since you know that you are an errand boy, go back to the lower peak.” He ordered in a calm voice. “The eighth peak didn’t tell you to come. Don’t walk around here often.”

Feng Jiu could only answer with “Yes.” She turned around and went down the peak. On her way down, she soon heard the peak’s disciples talking about Master Third Sun’s arrangement for her mother to leave the sect and gain experience.

She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Leaving the sect to gain experience? This was odd. Didn’t he not allow her out before? Why did he let her out now? So, was he looking for the chance to act?

As she pondered, she wanted to go to the eighth peak to discuss with her mother. However, Duan Mubai was still staring at her. She could only go down and look for another opportunity.

Duan Mubai watched that figure in azure descend the peak. After giving instructions to several of his junior brothers, he went towards Shangguan Wanrong’s cave…

Chapter 1482: I will catch up

“Junior Sister.” Duan Mubai called out in front of Shangguan Wanrong’s cave-dwelling. “I have something to tell you.”

The cave’s boundary opened up. Duan Mubai stepped in. When he entered the cave, he saw the woman was packing her valuables.

“Senior Brother, is there anything else?” Shangguan Wanrong stopped her movements and looked back at him.

Duan Mubai hesitated and seemed to be thinking about what to say. Only after a long time did he answer, “Junior Sister, don’t come back here after going out this time.”

Shangguan Wanrong smiled gently. “Senior Brother, don’t worry, I know what to do.” She paused, then looked at him and whispered, “I’d like to request something from Senior Brother.”

Duan Mubai was surprised because she had never had any request or demand. What exactly was going on to make her say this?

“Tell me. As long as it is something that I can do, I will not shirk it.”

Shangguan Wanrong nodded. “I’d like to ask Senior Brother to take care of Feng Jiu. If you can’t, let him go home!”

The only thing that caused her incessant worry was her daughter. If she had an accident, Feng Jiu might act recklessly. Master Third Sun was a Celestial Strong Exponent. No matter how strong, it might be impossible for her to fight with him.

Duan Mubai was astonished. “Junior Sister, what is the relationship between you and Feng Jiu? Since we came back from the mystic realm, I’ve had a feeling you both have been a bit…”

“Senior Brother, please don’t ask me about this. If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you, but not now.”

Duan Mubai nodded. “I know, rest assured! I’ll take care of him well. If he’s no longer willing to stay at the sect, I’ll let him go home. ‘

“Thank you so much, Senior Brother.” She bowed to thank him.

Duan Mubai looked at her deeply without saying anything. “Then, I’m leaving first. You must be careful on the road.”

“I will.” She nodded and sent him off. She looked around as he left. Since she didn’t see her daughter, she turned around and entered the cave.

Feng Jiu never found the time due to Luo Heng. When she descended from the eighth peak, she was dragged to see Chen Dao. It was already dark when she finally found the time. She sneaked into the eighth peak quietly and arrived at her mother’s cave.

“Mother, I’m here.” After entering the cave, she called and her mother came out from the cave’s interior.

“I’ve been waiting for you for most of the day. Why are you so late?”

While telling her this, Shangguan Wanrong pulled her hand, took her to the table and sat down. “Master Third Sun asked me to leave the sect and gain experience outside tomorrow. Listen to your mother. After I leave, find the chance to leave and go home.”

She could have taken her daughter out with her, but she was afraid that if she failed to escape, she would implicate her daughter. So her daughter had to stay behind and look for the chance to leave.

“I have asked my Senior Brother to take care of you. If you encounter any problems, you can go to him. He’s pretty good and will definitely help you.” She whispered.

Feng Jiu smiled with both eyes narrowed to crescents. “Mother, I’m here for you. How can I stay put when you’re in danger? Don’t worry. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow as soon as you leave.”

Chapter 1483: Leaving

“That won’t do.”

Shangguan Wanrong shook her head. “He’s a Celestial Strong Exponent. You are not his opponent. Besides, you can’t use medicine on him. He himself is an alchemist and more familiar with medicine than you and I. Listen to Mother, find the time to leave this place after I depart. I will go back to find you, as long as I’m still alive.”

Feng Jiu looked at her and wanted to say something, but thought that she would definitely stop her. So, without saying anything, Feng Jiu only smiled and answered, “Alright, I know.”

Shangguan Wanrong knew from her brisk reply that Feng Jiu didn’t take her words to heart nor did she take her reminder seriously. Therefore, she patted her daughter’s hand and urged her again. “Keep in mind what Mother said. It’s better safe than sorry. Don’t be careless in everything.”

“Yes, yes, I know. I’ll remember.”

She answered her with a smile, then talked with her for a while and explained some things. This night, the mother and daughter were sleeping in the same bed, as if they had endless things to talk about. Feng Jiu didn’t have a deep sleep until the day turned gradually brighter…

Early in the morning.

After finishing packing, Shangguan Wanrong came to the bedside and sat down. Looking at her sleeping daughter, her face revealed a gentle and loving smile. She reached out and stroked her daughter’s face and said in a gentle voice, “You must remember Mother’s words and go home obediently.”

When Feng Jiu opened her eyes, she saw her mother. A languid smile appeared on her face. “Mother, didn’t you say that you would leave at noon last night? Why did you get up so early…”

After saying this, she saw her mother suddenly touch her acupoint, making her whole body unable to move.

She was wide-eyed and looked at her mother in amazement. “Mother, what do you intend to do? Unlock my acupoints quickly.”

“Sleep here obediently. Mother is leaving first. Don’t follow me. If not, it will be too dangerous for you.” Shangguan Wanrong whispered and pulled the quilt to cover her body.

When Feng Jiu heard this, she spoke hurriedly, “Mother, unlock my acupoints. I promise not to follow you.”

Shangguan Wanrong could not help but chuckle. She pinched Feng Jiu’s nose. “Don’t think Mother doesn’t know what kind of idea you have in mind. I don’t believe your promise. Be obedient and listen to me.”

With a composed look, she said, “Mother is more concerned with your safety than her own. Mother is at ease only when you’re safe and sound.”

She knew that this kid would surely follow her, but she could not take her along this time. Otherwise, she would be harmed. As long as she left first, even if Master Third Sun wanted to attack her, her daughter would not get involved.

“Mother, Father is still waiting for you to go back! I have promised Father to take you home and reunite with the whole family. You know that this trip is dangerous, so you should not leave alone. Let me stay by your side. At least I can still be of help in times of danger…”

Shangguan Wanrong chuckled. “What kind of help can you do, kid? It’s okay as long as you don’t cause trouble. Alright. I don’t want to say anything more. I leave you some things inside this bag, so keep it. If, I mean if, I really have an unexpected accident, let your father marry another person! Don’t always be so stubborn and you must take good care of yourself. ”

Feng Jiu’s nose tingled when she heard her mother’s words. She watched her mother put the cosmos sack into her arms and bent down to hold her tightly…

Chapter 1484: Master

“Mother is leaving. Take good care of yourself. Nothing is more important than being alive.”Shangguan Wanrong let go and took a look at her deeply. At this time, the voice of Duan Mubai and others came from outside.

“Junior Sister?”

She turned around and walked out, closed the cave’s boundary and came outside to meet them. “I’ve seen Senior Brothers.”

“Junior Sister, we know you are leaving today, so we are here to see you off.” The alchemist ranked third in seniority said with a smile. “Are you all set?”

“Yes, I’m just getting ready to go.” She nodded.

‘Let us send you off! “Duan Mubai spoke while making an inviting gesture.

Shangguan Wanrong smiled and walked with them to the sect’s gate. They chatted occasionally while on the way. When she learned from them that Master Third Sun had entered into seclusion to refine pills, she only smiled.

When they sent her out the sect’s gate, they stopped. “Junior Sister, you’re outside alone. Please be careful in everything.”

“I know.” Shangguan Wanrong bowed to them. “Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brothers. Farewell. It’s getting late, I’m leaving first.”

“Be careful on the way.”

“Be careful on your way, Junior Sister.”

“Take care of yourself.”

They spoke as they watched her leave. When the sect’s gate closed, they glanced at each other again and then left one after another.

Duan Mubai did not return directly to the eighth peak but went to the odd-jobbers’ area. As he recalled Shangguan Wanrong’s task, he thought of transferring the odd-jobber disciple to his side so that he could take care of him with ease.

At the same time, in Shangguan Wanrong’s cave-dwelling, Feng Jiu was lying on the bed, unable to move, but secretly moved the spirit energy breath in her body to break the acupoints free.

It’s too dangerous to let her mother go alone. That Master Third Sun wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. She was even more sure that he must have been waiting for her mother outside the sect’s gate.

The spirit energy breath on her body started to move around. She felt a little uneasy at this time due to her mother’s departure. She had no idea what would happen next. But, fortunately, she had plans.

As she thought of this, her previously anxious heart slightly relaxed and concentrated on opening the acupoints.

Meanwhile, outside the sect gate, Shangguan Wanrong walked slowly down the mountain. There was no one behind her, but she felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her. It was as if someone was getting ready to attack her at any time.

The sensation made her body stiffen and absolutely terrified.

Walking down the mountain road, the rustling sounds in the woods sounded like the wind blew or like someone stepped on the leaves. She was alert, but it was tranquil without any accident throughout all her journey down.

Was it just a delusion? Was she too paranoid?

She thought inwardly. As long as she left this place, she could get out of the territory where it’s forbidden to fly. Then, she would leave quickly on the flying sword. As long as she departed from this place, Master Third Sun would find it difficult to find her.

She pondered while speeding up her pace to go down the mountain. She went faster and faster to the point of almost skimming across the place. However, when she was about to leave the boundary where flying was forbidden, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Wanrong.”

Her whole body stiffened, being caught off guard with this surprise. She quickly turned around and saw Master Third Sun in a grey robe, standing not far away while looking at her. Seeing this, trying to be calm and asking slowly, “Master? Why are you here?”

While speaking, she didn’t advance but retreated, using measured steps to step back while looking at him with precaution.

Chapter 1485: Can’t escape

Seeing her stepping back, Master Third Sun stroked his beard and smiled. “Wanrong, what are you doing? Why Is your body shaking? Are you afraid of Master? Why are you afraid of me? ”

He walked down slowly. Even though his feet were on the ground, in fact, they seemed just like stepping in the air. There was no mud on his soles.

That pair of sharp and deep gazes were fixed closely on Shangguan Wanrong. He smiled. “Seeing you like this, you have a hunch that I will come?”

“Master knows. You are smarter than some of your Senior Brothers. In fact, I like you so much. I really like such a smart disciple like you. Otherwise, I would not accept you as my disciple.”

Shangguan Wanrong looked at him as he spoke and approached her. She could only retreat, asking, “What on earth do you want to do?”

“You don’t need to be afraid. I just want to ask for your help. That is, to borrow you and just give me some help.” He stared at her. “You are the Master’s last disciple. If I ask you to help me, you won’t refuse, will you?”

Seeing this, she answered him coldly, “Master, did you forget that today is the day for me to leave the sect to gain experience outside? It was something that you arranged. Could it be your intent that I go back to the sect right now? ”

“Hehe, Wanrong, you know my intent perfectly well. Otherwise, how could you agree to come out? In fact, you are the only one who has come out. Thus, even if you disappear, go missing and no longer return to the sect, no one will say anything.”

As he said, he stroked his beard with the look of dignity and honour. “I am not only the Pill Sun Sect’s famous alchemist but also the Third Sun Peak Master. My identity and status are so extraordinary that I’m admired by everyone no matter where I go. Therefore, there must not be a scandal such as killing apprentices.”

“So, I have come up with a good way. As long as you leave the sect, then everything has nothing to do with you. Here, no one knows who captures you, no one knows where to save you, and no one knows whether you are dead or alive. This is what I want. Hahaha!”

He looked up and laughed. His laughter reverberated in the forest and spread in Shangguan Wanrong’s heart. It was chilling to the bone and its cold was penetrating to her heart.

She restrained her fear and asked, “Why me? Out of so many people, why me? Is it because I have a spirit-gathering physique? Do you want to take my Nascent Soul to refine pills? Is it to prepare for your upcoming Longevity Pill?”

“You knew it already?”

Master Third Sun was astonished. He seemed surprised that she knew this. So, he nodded with a smile. “Right. You are my inner disciple. Then, you also know that I was seriously injured in my early years. Now this serious injury affects my body and damages my longevity. There is no other way. It’s because I don’t want to die. I’m not willing to give up all the things that I earned with so much difficulty.”

“Don’t worry, as long as I succeed, I won’t treat your family unfairly.” As he spoke, his figure flashed and in an instant he swept towards Shangguan Wanrong.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wanrong quickly turned around, lifted her vital energy and swept forward. She must not be caught much less killed. Otherwise, she didn’t dare imagine her daughter going to find Master Third Sun desperately when she knew about it.

“You can’t escape. You forget that I am a Celestial Strong Exponent!”

Chapter 1486: The fight

As soon as Master Third Sun uttered these words, his figure swept away. Almost at the same time as Shangguan Wanrong turned and fled, he gripped her shoulder with a speed that was incomparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Hiss!”

The pang from the shoulder made her gasp with pain. She leaned the half-part of her body over, feeling his hand clenched against her shoulder as if he were trying to crush her bones into pieces. The pain made her unable to use her strength.

“Wanrong, Master said that you can’t escape. Go back with me obediently!” With a deep voice, he grabbed her and dragged her away to the other side.

“Let me go! Let me go!”

Shangguan Wanrong struggled and wanted to fight back. However, she just advanced to Nascent Soul and her breath was still unstable. As her shoulder was gripped by a Celestial Strong Exponent and crushed down by his powerful pressure, she was unable to fight back with her strength and could only be forcibly dragged away.

“Shut up! Be quiet!”

Seeing that she kept shouting and struggling, Master Third Sun raised his hand and tried to knock her unconscious. But, at this time, he suddenly felt a chill rising behind him. He flipped his hand, which was supposed to chop at Shangguan Wanrong’s neck, and raised an attack directly towards his back.

“Bang!”

The airflow from his palm hit the ground with a thud and the sound of silt scattered echoed all around. At the same time, the roar of a ferocious beast came out. The ear-splitting sound was reverberating through the woods.

“Roar!”

Cloud Devouring Beast transformed into its original form and growled loudly with its fangs exposed. Its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Master Third Sun. His sharp claws flashing and the divine beast’s formidable breath surging through him.

“Divine beast!”

Master Third Sun cried out in surprise at the sight of Cloud Devouring Beast. He exclaimed, “How can there be a divine beast in this place?” Looking intently, he saw that it was a contracted divine beast. So, he calmed down and shouted in a steady voice. “Who is your master? What do you want to do!”

“Let her go. If not, this Lord will tear you up!”

The Cloud Devouring Beast spoke, his voice bloodthirsty and vicious. Its voice made people shudder with fear. In particular, the divine beast’s pressure permeated and enveloped in the surrounding, forming a stream of air.

Shangguan Wanrong was originally frightened by the sudden appearance of the divine beast. She didn’t expect to hear this and wondered, could this be her daughter’s beast? Did she arrange for the beast to guard outside?

She was worried at this thought. Her daughter would not break the acupoints free and chase after her, would she?

After Master Third Sun heard Cloud Devouring Beast’s words, his sharp eyes narrowed. “Who asked you to come?” As soon as the sound falls, the wind from his palm turns into a vital energy blade. The blade went fiercely towards the Cloud Devouring Beast. At the same time, he grabbed Shangguan Wanrong and skimmed in the direction of the back of the mountain.

If he wanted to take her back, he could only go up from the back of the mountain. Otherwise, people at the front would be able to see him.

“Roar! Don’t think you can run away!” Cloud Devouring Beast howled. It ran after him while dodging his attacks.

Master Third Sun himself was an alchemist. Although he had never neglected his cultivation, his fighting strength was not comparable to that of a bona fide Celestial Strong Exponent. After dodging the attacks, his speed became slower and slower. There were numerous gashes on his body from the claws.

“Hiss!”

His clothes were torn, blood trickled from his bloody mouth, and he staggered on his knees because he could not let go of Shangguan Wanrong. As soon as he let go, she must have run away. If he didn’t have to take Shangguan Wanrong, he would not be forced to suffer up to this point.

“Roar!” At the opportune moment, the Cloud Devouring Beast roared and pounced on him again.

Chapter 1487: Returning again

“Do you want the person? Alright, here you go!”

When Master Third Sun saw the Cloud Devouring Beast pounced on him and went to attack with its sharp claws, he became fierce. He immediately pushed Shangguan Wanrong forward and used her as a human flesh shield.

“Ah!”

Shangguan Wanrong, who was gripped and pushed forward, only felt the sharp claws attacking her head-on. It was very frightening and murderous. At this time, however, the beast’s attack on her was quickly withdrawn. Due to the sharp retraction momentum, the beast swung heavily to the other side to avoid attacking her.

She was stunned to see the trace of the beast’s heavy fall on the ground. However, just as she wanted to speak, she was hit hard on the back of her neck and fainted.

“Roar!”

Cloud Devouring Beast jumped up quickly to catch up, but the opponent unexpectedly threw something and it exploded with a bang. A foul odour dispersed. The beast felt weak in its legs and laid sprawling on the ground. It could only watch the man escape carrying its mistress’ mother and left without a trace after only a few breaths…

On the other side, Feng Jiu, who had released her acupoints, didn’t leave from the main gate. Instead, she went around to the back mountain where the sheer cliffs and precipitous rocks made it impossible to climb. The only way to use it was to fly. However, there was a boundary and an array to prevent disciples from entering and leaving from the back mountain. However, the boundary and array had no great effect on her.

However, due to the size of the back mountain and its vast land area, she even passed by Master Third Sun who carried her mother on his shoulders. However, she had no idea at all. When she quickly swept past the array, crossed the boundary and came out to look for Cloud Devouring Beast’s breath, she saw the beast shook its fur while trying to stand up.

“Cloud Devouring Beast, where’s my mother?” Her heart sunk as she smelled the scent of blood in the air and traces of blood on the ground.

“She was snatched back by the old man.” Cloud Devouring Beast answered guiltily. “Mistress, the old man’s fighting strength is not high, he’s fearsome in his use of medicine. I don’t know what kind of medicine it was to render me powerless and unable to chase.”

Normally, ordinary drugs and poisons wouldn’t have any effect on a divine beast. However, that thing’s origin was unknown and even a divine beast couldn’t escape from it.

“Which way did he go? Did he escape from the back of the mountain? ” Her eyes fell in the direction when she came. She thought that Master Third Sun would attack her mother outside, but she did not expect that he would bring her back to the sect again.

To do such a thing, he must have been afraid that people would know. He could only enter the sect from the back mountain and return to the Third Sun Peak. If so…

She took a deep breath and thought quickly. He took her mother back, did he really want to use her body as a human furnace? If that was the case, she must be kept alive in order to let the spiritual breath work in the body.

“Cloud Devouring Beast, get inside the space! We’re going back!” She said, holding out her hand and letting the beast go back into space.

As she saw the traces of fighting around her, her gaze turned cold. She left the place quickly and then used the same road she came in to go back. Since her mother was in Third Sun Peak, she must go back! She believed that she could find the chance to rescue her mother!

Meanwhile, inside the sect, people heard the faint noise of scuffle and were surprised. Since the sound came from the Pill Sun Sect’s vicinity, they sent their disciples to investigate.

Duan Mubai looked for Feng Jiu to no avail. When he heard the noise, his heart turned heavy. He faintly sensed a bad premonition…

Chapter 1488: Who on earth was it?

He was frightened, afraid that things would really happen as he thought, so he rushed down quickly.

As soon as the disciple guarding the sect’s gate saw that it was Duan Mubai, he smiled and asked, “Martial Uncle Duan, how come you’re here? Where are you going in such a hurry?”

“I’ll go out and see what the noise is. Open the door.” Duan Mubai answered with his face pale and his voice a little unsteady.

“Martial Uncle Duan, you don’t need to go out. Some disciples were already sent out to check. They will be back shortly.”

“Open the gate!” He shouted loudly. His hands were tightly clenched into fists and blue veins came into view.

The disciple saw him and was frightened, He did not dare to say anything more. He opened the door for him in a hurry and let him out. Watching Duan Mubai swept outside with a whizzing sound, he couldn’t help murmuring, “What’s the matter with Martial Uncle Duan? Why did he act like a lunatic?”

“Wanrong? Wanrong? Junior Sister? Junior Sister…”

Duan Mubai shouted loudly. He looked around the forest like crazy. His voice carrying spirit energy breath echoed in the air and transmitted to the disciples’ ears.

“That sounds like Martial Uncle Mubai.”

“He seemed to be shouting Martial Uncle Shangguan’s name. But, I heard she left the sect this morning.”

A few disciples talked. After looking at each other, they went towards the source of the sound. Not long after, they saw Duan Mubai fumbled around and shouted, “Martial Uncle Duan, we found traces of struggle and blood in front of us. Would you like to have a look?”

Blood?

Duan Mubai’s heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley. Was that perhaps Junior Sister’s…

He staggered forward and followed them to the spot where the blood was. When he saw the traces around him and then saw the splash of blood on the ground, he trembled. “Where is the person? Did you see anyone? ”

“No. We only saw signs of struggle in this area when we came, but there was no one in sight.”

A disciple answered. When he looked at the pale Duan Mubai, he hesitated and asked, “Martial Uncle Duan, were you calling Martial Uncle Shangguan just now? We heard that she left this morning. Rest assured, the person shouldn’t be her.”

Duan Mubai stood in a daze. It was as if he didn’t hear anything. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Not her? How could it not be her? She went out of the sect today. Although Master went into seclusion yesterday, who knew…!

Master…yes, Master!

He turned and hurried back as if he remembered something.

On the other side, Feng Jiu returned using the same road she went out and took a detour to the ninth peak from the back of the mountain. Master Third Sun set up layers upon layers of boundary and arrays here in order to prevent people to reach this place from the back area. Maybe it was because he was too confident that she could come and go freely.

While she climbed the ninth peak from the rearward, Master Third Sun imprisoned the unconscious Shangguan Wanrong inside his pill-refining cave. His eyes were gloomy as he saw the wounds on his body and several claw marks on his arms.

Who on earth was it? Who on earth knew that he would attack Shangguan Wanrong?

Duan Mubai? It couldn’t be him. His contract beast is just a peak-level sacred beast. But, if it’s not him, who else?

Cloud Devouring Beast was a ferocious and war-loving beast. He was also an alchemist. Even if he had cultivated to Celestial level, he focused on cultivating spirit energy breath. Combat skills were not as important as refining pills for them. Therefore, if they really fought head-on, he was unsure whether he could surpass such a beast of war.

Chapter 1489: Rushing to the peak

“Damn it, my hands…”Looking at the bloody water, he immediately took the coat stained with blood off and took out the medicine to stop the bleeding. Because of the injury, his whole body’s aura was gloomy. If Shangguan Wanrong was not needed, perhaps he would have killed her to vent his anger.

Before long, he bandaged his wounds, took another outer clothing to cover, and stared at Shangguan Wanrong who laid unconscious on the ground. With a heavy groan, he dragged her inside.

Outside, at the ninth peak’s entrance, Duan Mubai told the two Nascent Soul cultivators, “I have something important to report to Master.”

The two men glanced at him and replied in a calm voice, “The Peak Master has given an order: He’s in seclusion and no one can come see him in the meantime.”

With bloodshot eyes, he yelled, “This is an emergency!”

“We only obey the orders of the Peak Master. If it’s an emergency, you are the Peak Master’s first disciple, so please handle the problem yourself.” One of them said. They still wouldn’t let his pass.

“What if I have to go in?” Duan Mubai clenched his fists.

“Then, don’t blame us for being unkind!” They were also unyielding.

Duan Mubai took out his long sword with a whizzing sound. Spirit energy surged in his body and resolve emerged in his eyes. He shouted, “Today, I must go in and see Master! Anyone who dares to stop me, don’t blame me for being unkind!”

The two Nascent Soul cultivators saw this and were surprised. They looked at each other, but still didn’t give in. Instead, they kindled the spirit energy breath in their bodies and got ready to fight.

“You are not our opponent. Go back quickly, or we will send you back by force.” A Nascent Soul cultivator said in a calm voice. However, immediately after he said this, Duan Mubai attacked them with a sword. Seeing this, one of them immediately started to attack.

“Whoosh”

“I must go in today!”

The fierce sword intent carrying the Nascent Soul powerful pressure attacked him in an instant. Even if Duan Mubai was the same Nascent Soul cultivator as the two of them, the Nascent Soul who cultivated their combat skills and the Nascent Soul who cultivated spirit energy breath were not of the same kind.

Knowing full well that his strength was not their opponent, when he thought that Shangguan Wanrong was very likely to be in the hands of his Master, he could not play ignorant and looked on with unfeeling at the Master killing his disciple.

It will not only destroy his reputation and prestige, but also kill his Junior Sister. He was both a disciple and a senior brother. Since he knew, he couldn’t pretend not to know.

“Bang!”

A Nascent Soul cultivator flicked his sword and struck Duan Mubai out a few meters away. Seeing that he was the disciple of the peak master, the slap still spared his feelings.

“With us here, it’s impossible for you to get in. Don’t waste your time.” As soon as the Nascent Soul cultivator stopped his attack, straightened his waist and looked at Duan Mubai who had withdrawn a few meters away.

He didn’t understand. What did this man do in there? His master gave him an order that he went into seclusion to refine pills, but he still wanted to go in and disturb his master? As an alchemist himself, didn’t he know that alchemists disliked being disturbed the most?

“Senior Brother? What are you doing here, Senior Brother?”

Several other people who had received the news rushed over. They saw the angry Duan Mubai holding a sword and staring fixedly at the two Nascent Soul cultivators. They were and hurried to his side to support him.

“Senior Brother, what happened?”

They had strong affections as fellow disciples. When they saw Duan Mubai like this, they thought he had been bullied.

Chapter 1490: Using a trick

They immediately looked at the two Nascent Soul cultivators with displeasure. “What’s the matter with you? Don’t you know him? He is our master’s eldest disciple, our senior brother. You guys act too unruly.”The two Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other, restrained the breath throughout their bodies and said to them, “He wants to go in to see the Peak Master, but Master has given an order that he went into seclusion and won’t see anyone. You all know that. Since you are here, take him back!”

After those two spoke out, they moved a few steps back and continued to guard at the peak gate.

Hearing this, those few people were stunned and looked at Duan Mubai in amazement. “Senior Brother, are you going to see Master?”

Their master gave an order. Since he went into seclusion and wouldn’t meet anyone, it’s very likely that he wouldn’t be able to get in. However, why on earth did he want to see Master? Still, fighting with those two Nascent Soul cultivators for this reason?

Duan Mubai took a deep breath and told them, “Junior Sister may be in danger. I have to go in and report this matter to Master.” He didn’t dare to tell these people that he suspected their Master had snatched Junior Sister because they would not believe it.

Not to mention them, if it were him, if he hadn’t seen too many abnormalities of their Master these days, he wouldn’t believe it was true.

When those people heard this, their expression changed. “What? Junior Sister is in danger? Could it be, could it be that what happened outside was… ”

When they thought of the possibility, those few disciples couldn’t help but get nervous and looked at the two Nascent Soul cultivators. “We have to report such a big thing to the master. You should get out of the way. This kind of thing can’t be delayed!”

The two Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t seem to expect this. They hesitated for a moment.

“What are you waiting for? That is our Junior Sister, our master’s disciple. You know how much our Master valued her. if something happens to her, do you think you can take the responsibility?”

The two Nascent Soul cultivators frowned and whispered among themselves. Then, they told these few people, “In this case, please wait here! I’ll go in and report it. If the Peak Master wants to meet you, he will let you in. ” Then he turned around and went inside.

Inside the cave, Master Third Sun heard the report from the Nascent Soul cultivator with a gloomy face. “Tell them to go back! Since the person is missing, let them go find her! I’m refining pills now. I can’t be disturbed when refining this medicinal pill!”

“Yes.” That Nascent Soul cultivator answered and turned around to leave.

“The Peak Master said that as the person is missing, you can go look for her. He can’t be disturbed right now.”

Hearing this, Duan Mubai pulled several of his junior brothers over and whispered a few words to them. Then those junior brothers went up to them. “Is that so? Did our Master really wouldn’t see us? Then, where are we going to find her?”

While they got caught off guard, the disciples surrounded them. “Senior Brother, go in quickly!”

“Thanks a lot.” Duan Mubai hurried inside.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators were startled and struggled immediately. “Let go! What is this… ” Before they finished speaking, they smelled a secret fragrance with a peculiar scent. Their bodies turned soft and then fell down.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you this medicine works? I just refined it not long ago. Even Nascent Soul cultivators will also collapse.”

The alchemist ranked second in seniority said proudly. He told the others, “Let’s go in and have a look.”

Chapter 1491: Don’t Want To Live Anymore

They looked at each other and mutually agreed, then they moved inside quickly. They wanted to find out what had happened, and if Junior Sister’s disappearance had anything to do with Master. Eldest Senior Brother was so nervous, could it be that he knew something?

Duan Mubai who had gone inside first and arrived in front of the bamboo house searched all around, and he could find no one. Therefore paused and pondered. He thought that they might be in the cave dwelling where Master used for alchemy, hence, he went in that direction.

However, when he approached the cave dwelling, he found that where it once had no boundary barriers, there were now many boundary barriers set up around it. He bypassed several boundary barriers and came to the entrance of the cave dwelling. However, he found that he was not able to go any further as the boundary barrier that was in front of the entrance was set up by a Celestial Strong Exponent and wasn’t something that he could easily break through.

Upon seeing this, he shouted: “Master! Master! It’s Disciple Mubai, I have an important matter to report to you! Master! I have an important matter to report to you!”

Master Third Sun who was preparing spirit herbs inside the cave dwelling and had just placed all the spirit herbs he needed out on the table when he heard the noise coming from outside. When he heard the voice, his face suddenly changed.

He had already ordered that he should not be disturbed and yet he still entered the Peak at this time. Why did the two Nascent Soul cultivators who were supposed to be guarding the entrance to the Peak let him in?

“Master, Master, Disciple Mubai has an important matter to report!”

When he heard the loud voice coming in from outside, his face was sullen as he shouted: “How dare you! Didn’t I give orders that I am not to be disturbed? Do my orders mean nothing to you?”

“Master, Junior Sister is missing. I saw traces of fighting and blood outside the Sect but no sign of Junior Sister, Master….”

“Nonsense! Your Junior Sister has gone down the mountain to practice, how can she disappear? You don’t need to worry about her, with her strength and wit, nothing will happen to her.”

Master Third Sun said in a calm voice and glanced at the unconscious Shangguan Wanrong, whose hands and feet were bound.

No one would be able to find her in here.

“Master, please come out to see your disciple, I have something to ask you face to face.” Duan Mubai said once again, in his heart he was more and more sure that Shangguan Wanrong was inside Master’s cave dwelling.

“Whatever you have to say you can wait till I come out of seclusion! Go back immediately!”

Upon hearing this, he felt anxious, and asked immediately: “Master, is Junior Sister inside the cave dwelling?”

“How dare you! Duan Mubai, you have some nerve!” Master Third Sun’s face was livid and his voice trembled with anger. At that moment, he couldn’t tolerate it any longer and stepped outside.

“Do you know what you are saying? Go back immediately! Otherwise I will kick you out of the Sect today!” Master Third Sun who had walked out of the cave dwelling stared at Duan Mubai with anger in his eyes and a hint of murder intent rose in his heart.

He was going to refine a life prolonging elixir, whoever dared hinder him would have him to deal with! He would not let anyone off easily if they got in his way!

If they dared stop him from living, he would kill them! Even if he was his disciple! No life was more important than his life!

When he saw him come outside, Duan Mubai was heartbroken. He knelt down immediately and said: “Master, Junior Sister is your disciple, please let her go! Master’s prestige and reputation should not be destroyed here today, and it should not be destroyed like this!”

Master Third Sun’s eyes were somber: “Duan Mubai, every word out of your mouth is accusatory to your Master. This is treason, I reckon you don’t want to live anymore!”

Chapter 1492: Do You Want To Violate The Order Of Your Master Too?

“Master! Don’t make another mistake…..ughh! Puff!”

Before he could finish speaking, he was struck by a blow to his chest by Master Third Sun who had raised his hand and sent the blow. He groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. He looked at his Master in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that his Master was the one who had hurt him.

In his heart, his Master was like a father to him. But now, the Master whom he had always respected had just hurt him….

“This is your punishment for not following your Master’s orders! Get out of here immediately!” Master Third Sun glared at him with a somber face, his sharp eyes bored into him.

Duan Mubai wiped the blood from his mouth and remained kneeling on the ground. He raised his head and looked at his Master who was still standing behind the boundary barrier and threw his head forwards: “Master, I beg of you, please let Junior Sister go, Master, I beg of you, please let Junior Sister go….”

Upon hearing these words, Master Third Sun was furious. When he saw his other disciples arriving, he immediately raised his hand and condensed his spiritual energy and slammed his hand forwards once again.

The spiritual energy in his hand had turned into a fierce air current that slammed into Duan Mubai and threw him several meters away.

“Eldest Senior Brother!”

When the rest of them who had hurried over saw what had happened, they couldn’t help but exclaimed and quickly stepped forwards to help him up. However, when they saw Duan Mubai’s mouth filled with blood and his face pale as paper, they were shocked and quickly took a pill out for him to take.

“Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, hang on!”

Oh my God!

Why did Master hit him so hard? Was he trying to kill Eldest Senior Brother?

“Cough cough….puff!” Duan Mubai coughed slightly and felt the blood gush out fiercely from his throat once again. He opened his mouth and tried to say something. However, as he was injured too seriously, his hand dropped down lifelessly and his eyes slowly closed as he passed out.

“Eldest Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother!”

They were shocked and shouted loudly but there was no response from him at all. The Second Senior Brother took the pulse of Duan Mubai and said to the others: “Eldest Senior Brother has only fainted, however, his internal organs are injured and he must be taken back for treatment soon.”

“Then let’s take Eldest Senior Brother back for treatment!” The Third and Fourth alchemists said. They helped him up and looked back at their Master behind the boundary barrier, perplexed.

They watched Master struck Eldest Senior Brother mercilessly. It was a blow from a Celestial Strong Exponent, yet Eldest Senior Brother didn’t avoid the blow. Did Master want to kill Eldest Senior Brother?

What had happened that made Master strike such a heavy hand?

“You two take Eldest Senior Brother back for treatment first. I will be along shortly.” The Second Senior Brother said and motioned for them to leave first.

“All right, be careful Second Senior Brother.”

The two of them said in lowered voices. After all, if Master could treat Eldest Senior Brother in such a manner, who knew what he would do to Second Senior Brother? When they thought of this, they felt uneasy in their hearts. What on earth was going on? Why did Junior Sister’s disappearance feel so messed up?

“Hey, do you think I am like Eldest Senior Brother? At the first sign of trouble I will run. Don’t worry!” Ruan Changchun grinned. Although he was ranked second, his brain was definitely not so.

After he watched them leave, he adjusted his expression then stepped forward sullen-faced and came to the front of the boundary barrier. He stopped and bowed to his Master: “Disciple Changchun pays his respects to Master.”

“Do you want to violate the order of your Master too?” Master Third Sun stared at Ruan Changchun coldly.

Chapter 1493: I Am Willing To Serve

Ruan Changchun grinned and waved his hands: “No, no, no, Master you are mistaken. I just wanted to know if Master needs an assistant while practising alchemy in your cave. Disciple can help.”

He paused and then grinned: “Master, you understand Changchun the best. Changchun has never disobeyed an order from Master, am I right? Although Eldest Senior Brother said that Master has captured Junior Sister and wants to kill Junior Sister, but I think that it must all be Eldest Senior Brother’s imagination.”

As he spoke, he observed his expression. When he mentioned that he had captured Junior Sister and wanted to kill her, there was a strange colour in his eyes. His heart sank.

Was it really Master’s doing? Was it because Eldest Senior Brother had known about this matter, that was why Master laid such a heavy hand on him?

The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became. He felt shock and disbelief, yet the expression on his face was still a smile, a heartless look.

“No need, you may leave! Look after your Senior Brother and don’t disturb my refinement.” Master Third Sun’s voice eased a little. He took a deep look at Ruan Changchun and said: “As long as I am successful in refining this pill, I will definitely reward you.”

“Yes, thank you Master.”

There was a look of surprise on his face as he quickly thanked him and left. Just after he had turned, his smile narrowed and the expression on his face turned somber.

Feng Jiu had observed everything quietly in a hiding place. Her eyes moved slightly and she wondered to herself: How will she save her? When will she save her? After she saved her, how will they leave? She had to think about it carefully. What she was sure of was that now was not the right time to strike.

In order to avoid being discovered, she had to continue to lurk in the shadows while she waited for the best time to make her move.

Master Third Sun was a Celestial Strong Exponent and she only had a Nascent Soul cultivation base. Although the difference in cultivation was only one level, however, Master Third Sun didn’t major in combat power so she had some chance of winning in terms of fighting.

However, the question is how would she send her mother out of here safely once she had rescued her? The Sect was bound to be alerted if she fought against Master Third Sun, so if the entire Sect was besieging her, how could she safely rescue her mother?

It was impossible to expose Master Third Sun’s false front to everyone. If the Sect knew, they would never allow the news of Master Third Sun’s murderous behavior to spread, they would only help hide the facts.

If the scandal were to be exposed, it wouldn’t be good and would affect their Sect. Moreover, this was just the basis of the strongest surviving in the world of cultivating immortals. It happened everywhere in the world. Who never had the blood of innocent people on their hands?

They would only look at the benefits of it, so she couldn’t expect the people in the Sect to come forward to deal with the matter.

On the other side, Ruan Changchun headed towards his Eldest Senior Brother’s cave dwelling on the Eighth Peak and saw many people surrounding the cave dwelling. They must have heard of his injuries. His disciples had rushed over but they were unable to enter the cave dwelling.

Luo Heng was also amongst the many disciples and he was at a loss as were the others about the sudden injury of their Master. Everyone was discussing and trying to figure out what was going on. In the entire Third Sun Peak, the only person who could hurt their Master and the only person who had the ability to hurt their Master was their Master Third Sun. But, was this possible?

Chapter 1494: What Shall We Do

“What are you all doing crowding around here?” He shouted sullenly and glanced at everyone.

“Martial Uncle Ruan, we heard that our Master is injured? Is it serious?” Luo Heng asked, looking at Ruan Changchun who was walking with his hands behind his back.

Ruan Changchun glanced at him and said: “Your Master is fine. Get back to your jobs and stop hanging around here.”

“Martial Uncle Ruan, we would like to see our Master and look in on his injuries.” A disciple said boldly.

Ruan Changchun glanced at him and said: “What’s there to look at? If he wants to see any of you, he would have called for you. Since he hasn’t asked for any of you, then you should go back.” After pausing for a while, he shouted again: “Why haven’t you left? Why are you still standing here in a daze?”

Everyone glanced at each other but didn’t say anything, and finally, one by one, they left.

Luo Heng glanced at Ruan Changchun with some doubts, and then he glanced at his Master’s cave dwelling once. He found it odd but he couldn’t quite figure out what it was that wasn’t right, therefore, he could only leave with the others.

Ruan Changchun only entered the cave dwelling once everyone had left. When he saw that Duan Mubai was still unconscious, he asked: “How is Eldest Senior Brother?”

“His injuries are quite serious. Luckily he’s already taken the pill to heal his internal injuries. However, the doctor said earlier that he will only regain consciousness one to two days later. Also, once he has regained consciousness, he can’t use his spiritual energy for one month. If he doesn’t take good care of himself while he is recovering, it will cause problems in the future.”

The Third-ranked alchemist sighed softly and said: “Second Senior Brother, why do you think Master did this? This is Eldest Senior Brother! How could he lay such a heavy hand on him?”

Ruan Changchun waved his hand: “Enough, don’t discuss this matter anymore for the time being. Let’s just wait for Eldest Senior Brother to wake up first!” He pondered for a while, then said to the two of them: “There is one things however, that I want to discuss with the both of you.”

The two of them looked at each other and asked: “Is it about Junior Sister?”

Ruan Changchun glanced at them and nodded: “Yes, that’s right. I’m sure that the two of you have guessed by now that something is going on. This matter is indeed unusual, and in any place there would also be matters that are disreputable. However, the matter at hand implicates us and Junior Sister. So I want to know what your thoughts are on this matter.”

“Second Senior Brother, just speak your mind, we are all ears.” The two of them said in unison.

“Okay, so this is my plan. If it were down to us, we would definitely not be able to enter Master’s alchemy cave. However, other than us, no one else in Third Sun Peak is able to intervene in this matter. So my suggestion is that we go to the other Peaks since we are on familiar terms with their disciples, we will….”

He told the two of them his plan to go to the other Peaks to chat with the disciples there and while doing so, tell them of the news accidentally. He believed that once they heard of the news, they would report it to their Masters. That way, they would go and investigate the matter without them instigating them to.

Now that the power of each Peak was even, and the strength of the Peak Masters were around the same, once they learnt that one of their peers was about to refine a Heaven-defying pill, they wouldn’t be able to sit still.

“Alright, we will go and get it done now.” The two of them left after hearing what he had to say.

After Ruan Changchun watched them leave, he came outside to get a drink of water. After thinking upon it for a while, he felt anxious and also left. He felt that he also needed to make a trip in order to get it done quickly.

Chapter 1495: Let Master Tell You

In the evening, after the disciples in every peak had reported the news to their Masters, the Masters of each Peak were secretly surprised.

“Really? That Master Third Sun has really gone into seclusion to refine a Heaven-defying pill?” One of the Peak Masters stared at his disciple and asked.

“Yes Master, I heard it from the lips of Junior Brother Ruan himself.” The middle aged man replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the Peak Master frowned: “If it’s really true, then why did he tell you? There’s something strange about this matter.”

“Master, he had only come to have a chat with me and drink some wine. His Eldest Senior Brother had clashed with their Master because of this matter and was seriously injured as a result. He is still lying in his cave dwelling unconscious at the moment. Junior Brother Ruan was not in a good mood because of this matter, that’s why he came to look for me to have a drink with him. He only let slip after a few drinks.”

That disciple continued speaking: “Disciple felt that this matter is of great importance, hence I immediately came to report it to you after I arranged for someone to send Junior Brother Ruan back. If there really is a Heaven-defying pill, then Third Sun Peak’s reputation will surely surpass ours. Disciple felt that no matter what, I still had to report this matter to you Master and let you decide what to do.”

After listening to this, the Peak Master stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said: “Even if this matter is true, what reason do we have for preventing it from happening? If the Sect Master was to find out, I’m afraid….”

“Master, Third Sun Peak is known to the outside world as being the top of all the Peaks within the Sect. If we were to allow Master Third Sun to refine the Heaven-defying pill, I’m afraid that when all the other Masters see him, they would have to lower your heads and bow to him. It doesn’t matter if disciple is ridiculed, but disciple is really unwilling to hear people on the outside about the other Peak as if they can’t compare to Third Sun Peak.”

When he heard this, the Peak Master’s face sank, and as he was stroking his beard, his hand fell suddenly and tugged his beard causing him to cry out in pain.

He glanced at his disciple in embarrassment and thought about it, then said: “If this matter is really true, then, come here.” He gestured for him to come closer and whispered a few instructions to him, then gestured with his hand: “Go now!”

“Yes, disciple will go and get it done immediately.” The disciple beamed with joy and hurried outside.

At this moment, Shangguan Wanrong who was unconscious in the cave dwelling in the Ninth Peak awoke upon smelling some pungent medicine. When opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Master Third Sun walking towards her with a whip dipped in liquid medicine.

“You’re awake? It’s just as well.”

Master Third Sun stopped about three steps away from her with the whip in his hand and looked at her: “Wanrong, you can’t really blame Teacher. If it wasn’t for me, you would still be trapped in that Shangguan House, am I right?”

“Don’t worry, I will make sure you play your role to your greatest potential. I won’t let you come onto this earth for nothing. No one knows that you are in here with me, so you will still maintain a dignified identity as I, Master Third Sun’s core disciple.”

“Spit!”

Shangguan Wanrong looked at him coldly: “Hypocrite! You’re not even comparable to a beast! You have no right to call yourself a Master!”

“Haha, it’s okay. You can scold me all you want! Very soon, you won’t be able to scold me anymore.” Master Third Sun smiled carelessly and shook the whip with his hand: “Do you know what this is? I have been soaking this whip in liquid medicine from the moment I took you in as my disciple. Do you know what it’s for?”

“I bet you don’t know. It’s okay, let me tell you. I will definitely tell you and not let you endure this without knowing why.”

Chapter 1496: Medicated Whip

“Your spirit-gathering body is a mobile storage of spiritual power. For me, it is the best choice to use as a human furnace. Do you know why I insisted that you cultivate and advance to the Nascent Soul stage? It’s because the cohesion of your Nascent Soul energy when you first advance is the best drug for a human furnace, a drug that can help your Master, I, live long and well.”

He stared at her with a slightly crazed expression and said: “Actually, you should be thankful, thankful that you have been chosen by me. Not everyone is so lucky to have this kind of opportunity. Don’t worry, after you die, I will take good care of your family clan. I’m sure they will be very happy and willing to sacrifice your life for the prosperity of the entire clan.”

“Mad man!”

Shangguan Wanrong stared at him as she spat out those two words. Yes, he was crazy. In her eyes, he had already gone mad. He only thought of his survival and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice other people’s lives in the process because in his eyes, no one’s life was as important as his.

He was afraid of death. Therefore, he tried every means possible to find ways for him to prolong his life. He had even forgotten that he was an alchemist, a well-respected Master, he had lost his morals.

He only wanted to live, and only him. Such a person could only be a lunatic.

“Swish!”

“Snap!”

The whip that was soaked in liquid medicine was unleashed shortly after she had called him a mad man. The whip flitted through the air and brought with it a sharp current which slapped her body so hard that she couldn’t help but scream.

“Ahhhh!”

The whip fell directly over her shoulder onto her white dress. Her white dress was torn apart from the whip’s blow and scarlet blood had seeped into her clothes, causing fear to rise in her heart.

A strong medicinal scent was swept across the air with the whip, especially the whip that had landed on Shangguan Wanrong’s body. The medicated liquid seemed to have seeped into her skin through the skin and flesh of her wound.

“Sss! Ahhhhhh!”

Her wound was painful and was accompanied by a scorching sensation. Although it was only a whio, she could tell that something was wrong.

“How do you feel? The medicine is not bad isn’t it? This is a medical primer to mobilise the drugs in your body. I assume you don’t know that I have placed drugs within your body and sealed it in your arm? The effects of the drugs have not been mobile, and with your ability, you wouldn’t be aware of the problem.”

Master Third Sun smiled and whipped her body repeatedly with the medicated whip. He stared at Shangguan Wanrong confidently and said: “It’s not just you, even your Eldest Senior Brother Mubai didn’t notice anything different.”

“Swish!”

“Snap!”

“Ah!”

Shangguan Wanrong screamed once again. The pain from her wound being penetrated by the whip repeatedly was unbearable. Blood oozed out as her skin and flesh was ripped open. The liquid medicine from the whip had seeped into her skin and flesh and the hot burning sensation was like a hot soldering iron pressing onto her skin.

The pain equivalent to the cutting of her flesh made it unbearable for her and her face turned pale. She seemed to have lost her strength and her body dangled weakly as the chains that bound her hands tugged on them.

Chapter 1497: Went Up To Third Sun Peak Personally

When the black iron shackles twitched and made a clunking sound, Master Third Sun looked at her pale and sweaty face and said: “Wanrong, you must hold on. This is an unavoidable process. I don’t want to do this to you, but the medicine is only useful if it is used this way, it can only penetrate your body this way. Every strike of the whip will make you wish you were dead, and the burning sensation is the effect of the medicine. You must hold on. You are the chosen human furnace for me. All my hopes are pinned on you.”While he spoke, he pinched her lips together to open her mouth and forced a pill into her mouth. At the same time, the whip in his hand twitched again and the sound of her screams was accompanied by the sound of the whip on her body. Her screams would make one’s heart tremble, but it could only be heard within the walls of the cave. On the outside, it was completely inaudible.

In the evening, after the sky darkened, the few Peak Masters couldn’t help themselves and went up to Third Sun Peak personally to investigate. However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the entrance of the Ninth Peak, they were stopped by the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

“The Peak Master has ordered that he is not to be disturbed while he is practicing alchemy.”

The two of them said and looked at the few Peak Masters with vigilance. These people had come here for no reason. Could they have been entrusted by the Peak Master’s disciples? What were they trying to do? Have they come to cause trouble again?

“We have something to discuss with your Peak Master. Step down. He won’t blame you.” One of the Peak Masters waved his hand and said.

“But…” The two Nascent Soul cultivators frowned hesitantly.

“No buts, we will bear all responsibility.” Another Peak Master said and strode forward. At this moment, Ruan Changchun’s voice came from behind.

“Hey? Peak Masters? Why are you here? Are you here to see my Master? But our Master is refining pills and won’t see anyone.”

Ruan Changchun stepped forward vigilantly and smiled at them: “Please, go back! Don’t disturb my Master practicing alchemy.”

One of the Peak Masters looked at Ruan Changchun and raised his eyebrows; “Aren’t you supposed to be drunk? Why are you so sober now?”

“Hehe, my two Junior Brothers gave me alcohol-relieving pills. As soon as I heard that Peak Masters were coming I had to come and take a look for myself. Our Master has given orders that he will not see anyone.” He smiled awkwardly and blocked their path.

“Really? But we have extremely important matters we need to discuss with your Master. We really need to see him.”

Where there were doubts in their hearts initially, now that they have seen the panic in Ruan Changchun’s eyes and his obstructing them, they were more and more certain that it was true that Master Third Sun was refining a Heaven-defying pill.

The few Peak Masters looked at each other immediately and strode inside.

“Hey, Peak Masters, Peak Masters, don’t be like this!” Ruan Changchun shouted but followed behind them. When he saw them going into the bamboo house, he said: “My Master is practicing alchemy in the cave dwelling over there, he really can’t be disturbed.”

When they heard this, one of the Peak Master’s eyes moved slightly and glanced back at him with thoughtful eyes.

“So he’s in the cave dwelling! It seems that it must really be an incredible pill. Master Third Sun usually refines pills in the bamboo house. He only goes into the alchemy cave when it’s an extremely important pill. I’m really curious, what Heaven-defying pill is he refining?”

Chapter 1498: Torture?

When the others heard his words, they fell silent. That’s right, Master Third Sun usually refined pills in the bamboo house. He only went into the cave dwelling when he used higher quality elixir herbs and didn’t want to be disturbed. That said, this pill must be very important to Master Third Sun.

This notion was in all their heads. By the time they had arrived at the entrance of the cave dwelling, they saw that there were multiple boundary barriers surrounding it, and right in front of the entrance to the cave had another layer of enchantment.

After glancing at everyone else, one of them shouted: “Brother Third Sun, Brother Third Sun?”

Inside the cave dwelling, Master Third Sun was tired from whipping and was about to prepare the next stage of medicine. He had walked out of the alchemy room to get something and was just about to go back inside when he heard a voice coming from outside. He frowned involuntarily.

“Brother Third Sun? Brother Third Sun?” Another person shouted.

At this point, when the people outside noticed that there was no sound coming from inside the cave dwelling, they couldn’t help but look at each other. Just at this moment, Ruan Changchun rushed up to the front: “Master, Master, the Peak Masters forced their way into Third Sun Peak insisting they have something to ask you. If Master doesn’t come out, they will break through the barriers!”

When the Peak Masters heard this, they glanced at him in surprise. They hadn’t said anything about breaking through the barriers! After all, they had already overstepped their boundaries by forcing their way into Master Third Sun’s territory, how would they dare to break through the barriers?

However, as soon as Ruan Changchun had finished speaking, Master Third Sun could be seen storming out angrily.

“What are you all doing here? You’re disturbing my alchemy session, could it be that you are all up to something?” Master Third Sun was extremely angry that he had been interrupted so many times, and at the moment, his anger rose even more as he was unable to suppress it.

After being questioned in this manner, the expressions on the Peak Masters’ faces were a little embarrassed. After all, what they were doing at this moment was indeed a little beneath their statuses.

One of them coughed slightly and said: “You see, we heard that Brother Third Sun is refining a Heaven-defying pill so we have come over to see if you need any help. Brother Third Sun knows that we cannot compare to you in terms of alchemy so we want to use this opportunity to learn something from you.”

“Hmph!”

Master Third Sun snorted heavily and said: “You are all alchemists, don’t you know that the pet peeve of alchemists is to be disturbed during an alchemy session? Leave now! Otherwise, once I have finished refining my pill, I will lodge a complaint to the Sect Master and ask him to uphold justice!”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Peak Masters stiffened. They hadn’t expected to be rejected so swiftly. They couldn’t help but look at each other. Then suddenly, one of the alchemists looked startled as he noticed the whip in Master Third Sun’s hand and stared at it with a strange expression.

“Brother Third Sun, why do you need a whip to refine pills? Why does your whip appear to be soaked in liquid medicine?”

After that Peak Master had spoken, the other Peak Masters also noticed that Master Third Sun had a whip in his hand. The whip was soaked in liquid medicine, that was why they could smell such a strong scent of medicine. They hadn’t noticed as they thought that it was coming from inside the alchemy cave dwelling. However, they were unable to ignore the situation in front of them. What was going on?

If he was refining pills, why did he need a whip? What on earth was he refining?

Ruan Changchun lowered his head to hide his red rimmed eyes, his hands beneath his sleeves were twisted tightly into fists. He had already noticed the whip when his Master had first come out. That whip was soaked in liquid medicine and there were also traces of blood on it….

Master, was he torturing Junior Sister?

Chapter 1499: On Fire?

When he heard their words, only then did the fuming Master Third Sun realise that he had been so angered by their interruption that he had stormed out without putting down the whip. Under their suspicious and inquiring eyes, his heart stopped for a moment.

He said calmly: “Haven’t I already told you that I am refining pills? I was just about to take the blood of a spirit beast to add to my mixture when I was interrupted by you.”

“We can understand taking blood from a spirit beast. But why do you need a whip for that?” One of them asked suspiciously.

They too had used spirit blood as an ingredient in the past as some pills do indeed require spirit blood. However, isn’t a knife used instead? Why was he using a whip? And a one that had been soaked in medicine liquid as well? What kind of pill was he refining? Why were the ingredients he used so strange?

When he heard this, Master Third Sun’s eyes sank and he replied with a stern face: “Every alchemist has their own techniques and I have my own. Naturally my technique would be different from yours. What’s so strange about that? It’s getting late, you should all get going! If you continue to disturb my alchemy session, I will definitely report it to the Sect Master! At that point, don’t blame me for disregarding our Sect family relationship!”

Upon hearing this, they hesitated a little. After all that had been said, it seemed that they didn’t have any more reason to dig deeper. Although they had already come all this way and yet they couldn’t enter, nor were they able to find out more information, it left them feeling somewhat unresigned.

They looked at the cave dwelling, it was right there, were they really going to leave just like that? If they could go inside to see what kind of elixir herbs he was preparing, maybe they would be able to figure out what kind of pill he was refining.

As they thought about it, they suddenly heard panic and chaotic sounds. It didn’t come from just one place but from the entire Sect. It was as if something big had happened that threw the entire Sect into chaos.

They looked back abruptly only to see smoke and fire in the sky that accompanied the exclamations spreading out into the air…

“Oh no, oh no, it’s on fire, it’s on fire, hurry, put out the fire! Put out the fire….”

“Come quickly! Put out the fire, put out the fire…”

The expressions of the few men changed: “What’s happened? Did I hear that something is on fire?”

At this moment, several disciples ran over in a hurry, their faces full of panic: “Oh no, all the peaks are on fire! The fire has spread from the back mountain and has now reached several mountain tops. Several places within the Sect are on fire. Master, come back to take a look!”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Peak Masters changed drastically and they asked immediately: “How did it catch fire? Where did the fire start?”

“The fire seems to have originated from the kitchen and had spread out of control. Some of the spirit beasts in the kitchen caught on fire and ran out causing the fire to spread throughout the Sect. All the disciples within the Sect are now helping to put out the fire. Peak Master, the place where our peak is on fire is the Spirit Herb Storeroom, we have to get back now!”

Everyone was shocked, their eyes showed disbelief and shock, and they didn’t dare to stay a moment longer, nor did they have any more interest in trying to find out what pill Master Third Sun was trying to refine. They had to leave immediately to get back to the Peak and help put out the fire.

Ruan Changchun felt surprised deep down. Fire? How could their Sect catch fire? This was something that had never happened in years. When one place caught fire, the entire Sect caught fire too? That wasn’t normal.

He felt that something was odd about the whole matter and though he felt uneasy about it, he didn’t dare to say anything. At this moment, he heard his Master’s voice.

Chapter 1500: Heinous Killing Intent

“Changchun, why are you standing there in a daze for? Why aren’t you going to check if our Peak is on fire?”

Master Third Sun stared at him with a solemn face as he spoke, his heart on fire. If it weren’t because he couldn’t leave here without worrying, he would have stepped outside of the enchantment to go and take a look for himself.

Why would there be a fire out of the blue? And the fire was so big that it had spread to the mountain tops? If the other Peaks had also caught fire, would their Third Sun Peak catch fire too?

“Yes, disciple will go at once.” He replied. Though his eyes remained fixed on the whip in his hand, and he stood at the same spot, unable to move.

When he saw him staring at the whip in his hand, Master Third Sun frowned and shouted in a deep voice: “Why are you still here?”

Ruan Changchun closed his eyes and walked away. Each step he took was getting harder and heavier.

Feng Jiu who was lurking in the shadows watched Master Third Sun take a look at his surroundings before he went back into the cave dwelling. At that moment, she was staring at his back, her eyes scarlet with killing intent. That whip, that whip!

Her hands had twisted tightly into fists and her joints creaked from anger and killing intent. Although her aura from her body was gathered, she was unable to conceal her killing intent and it let out that moment.

“Master, I’m back.” Cloud Devouring jumped up and came to her side. When he saw her body was full of killing intent, he couldn’t help but look at the cave.

There, he saw Master Third Sun’s figure walking back into the cave.

“Stay here and stand guard, I will go inside.” She said slowly, halting at every word as she tried to restrain her killing intent.

“Yes, be careful Master.” Cloud Devouring looked at her and replied.

Feng Jiu didn’t speak anymore but leapt up on her toes and walked towards the boundary barriers step by step.

When she came to the boundary barrier, she stretched her hand out to explore it. An aura of spiritual power surged in her palm, and an enchantment that was invisible initially had now turned into a halo of airflow. At this moment, she used both hands and condensed the spiritual power then threw it into the blaze. The entire boundary barrier was broken with a loud bang.

The airflow of the Celestial Strong Exponent dissipated into the air following the breaking of the barrier. The loud bang had alarmed Master Third Sun who was inside the cave dwelling. As for the other people on Third Sun Peak, they hadn’t noticed any of the commotion on the Ninth Peak.

They were called back to help put out the fire and check if their Peaks were on fire. The entire Sect was reverberating with loud noises no one had noticed the noises here.

Almost at the same moment Feng Jiu had broken the boundary barrier, she stepped inside. When she smelt the strong medicine coming from inside the cave dwelling, along with the scent of blood, the killing intent and coercion of her body was released at this moment.

Since she had chosen to make a move, then at this moment, she no longer needed to hide anything else! Master Third Sun dared to lay a hand on her mother, he dared to hurt her, she would not let him off so easily!

Master Third Sun noticed it the moment the boundary barrier was broken. Just as he had turned around to walk back outside, before he saw anyone walk in from outside, he felt an overwhelming bloodthirsty killing aura swarming in from outside. The killing intent was cold and he felt the chill to his bones, as cold as a thousand year breeze. Although he was startled, he was also immediately vigilant.

“Who is it? Come Out!”

His eyes were somber and he gripped the whip in his hand tightly. A whip soaked in liquid medicine was sometimes even better than a sword.
