"I am Sea Corner Heavenly Mother. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
The moment the words left her mouth, the old woman struck without warning, flicking a finger at Luo Chen.
A streak of Nether Light arrived in a flash.
True to her blunt nature, she had decided to eliminate her rival outright.
But when the Nether Light came within ten feet of Luo Chen, it vanished for no apparent reason.
It disappeared without a sound or the slightest disturbance.
"What?!"
The old woman cried out, plainly never having expected this.
Luo Chen also let out a surprised exclamation.
"Huh..."

"Within the Pill World, only the Alchemy Dao shall endure. Do not stir up strife or harbor murderous intent. Offend again, and you shall be executed!"
The rumbling voice echoed among the mountains and clouds. Though weak and low, its murderous intent remained unmistakable.
At those words, Sea Corner Heavenly Mother's expression darkened.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, smiled.
When he had first seen her, he had been on full alert, ready for a fight.

Had they truly fought, he would inevitably have faced a bitter battle.

But it made sense. The Pill World held a Pill Dao Inheritance. All competition was decided through Alchemy Dao trials. How could reckless slaughter be allowed?
He smiled faintly. "Sea Corner Heavenly Mother? Before we met, you left a Bamboo Slip to mislead others. The moment we met, you attacked. Tsk, tsk. Is this the bearing of a Demon Emperor?"
