"It's Done! It really is done! A natural Alchemy Saint Body! This Old Man really didn't misjudge you!"

As Old Ya's excited voice rang out, inside the Black Demon Cauldron, a perfectly round, plump pill radiating colorful light hovered in the air.

It had clearly reached Pill Formation.

Su Qingyun could sense that the elemental power blended within the pill seemed to be resonating with his body.

"This color, this quality... Qingyun, with your alchemy ability, once you break through to the Dou Zhe realm, you'll probably be able to attempt refining Grade 3 Pills."

"This All-Element Blended Pill is the first of its kind in the history of the continent. What do you plan to name it?"

"A name? Is that important? I'm the only one who can take this pill anyway."

The pill was packed with the energy of ten Magic Cores, each of different elements. Some attracted one another, some repelled one another. If anyone else absorbed it, they would be lucky not to drop dead on the spot, let alone gain any effect from it.

"Of course it's important. This is a history-making pill in the Alchemy World, unprecedented and unrepeatable! It's practically a mascot!"

"Qingyun, if you don't want to name it, then This Old Man will do it for you. How about calling it an immortal pill? Hahaha~"

Old Ya laughed.

Su Qingyun looked helpless. An immortal pill? What do you take me for, a Grand Ancestor? "Old Ya, please go tell Xiao Yan that I'm going to start breaking through immediately. Have him and Xun'er protect me outside the garden."

Inside the room, Su Qingyun took some medicine to restore his body's condition. Without hesitation, he actually swallowed that pill directly.

Immediately after, he sat cross-legged inside the room, and the elemental Dou Qi around him suddenly began to surge.

Su Qingyun felt his Immortal Qi guiding multiple elemental powers rapidly through his body, rushing toward his Dantian.

These auras fused and collided with one another, forming a vortex that emitted Immortal Spirit Aura.

The Nine-Colored Auspicious Phenomenon, which had originally begun to slowly fade after Pill Formation, flourished once more at this moment, and its momentum was even greater than before! The original Nine-Colored Phenomenon had only been centered around the Xiao Family's Su Garden, but this time, it actually spread directly beyond the Xiao Family, drawing astonished gazes from everyone in the city.

At Xiao Family Square.

Xiao Zhan was still leading his men in dealing with Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa.

He flatly denied Su Qingyun's existence:

"What mysterious person? There isn't one. My Xiao Family only has honored guests and clan disciples. Where would there be any mysterious person?"

"Jialie Bi, Aoba Pa, don't talk nonsense. These colorful clouds aren't a phenomenon, they're merely auspicious blessings descending from the heavens. Heaven is protecting our Xiao Family!"

"After all, our Xiao Family has accumulated virtue and done good deeds these past years. We haven't committed any heinous crimes, so it's about time our luck turned."

"You two should head back. Once the overall situation is settled... no, once the mountain flowers bloom in splendor, our Xiao Family will certainly lay out a banquet to entertain you all!"

Only, whether that wine would be wedding wine or execution wine was hard to say.

Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa were so irritated by Xiao Zhan's evasions that their noses flared and their eyes bulged.

On top of that, Ya Fei of the Mitel Auction House had actually shown up this time as well, coming to the Xiao Family with gifts and even stepping forward to mediate. This was a first in Wu Tan City.

But right at that moment, the phenomenon intensified again. Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa looked at each other, both thinking that this matter could no longer be dragged out.

Jialie Bi snorted. "Ya Fei, don't blame This Old Man for not giving your Mitel Auction House face."

"To tell you the truth, the person they brought back in the Flame Chariot a few months ago is very likely my Beloved Son-in-Law, a member of my Jialie Family. I've come to bring him back. That should be perfectly reasonable and justifiable!"

Aoba Pa's eyes widened. "What do you mean, a member of your Jialie Family? He should be my Beloved Son-in-Law!"

"Enough nonsense. Whoever brings him home first gets him."

"Also, some time ago, my son Jialie Ao died a miserable death. His body still hasn't been buried, and the murderer hasn't been caught. He died with grievances unavenged! I've already asked around clearly. It was someone from the Xiao Family who did it. Hand over the killer at once! Otherwise, I, Jialie Bi, will wash the Xiao Family in blood!"

Seeing that the phenomenon was, for some unknown reason, gathering more and more intensely, Jialie Bi's gaze darkened. He estimated inwardly that if that mysterious expert was in the middle of breaking through, this would be the best time to kill him and take revenge.

If he really was that child from back then, and he had killed his son, then he would have to become his son-in-law to make amends. A life for a life!

With a wave of his hand, several family experts actually appeared behind Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa. Including the two of them, there were a full five Da Dou Shi, more than ten Dou Shi, and dozens of Dou Zhe who rushed in from outside the Xiao Family gates in an instant.

In a flash, swords were drawn and the tension was ready to explode!

Ya Fei was so angered by Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa's words that she laughed. If she had not already asked Gu Ni clearly about what had happened back then, she might really have been fooled by them.

So the Xiao Family imprisoned your Beloved Son-in-Law? You say it as if you're so deeply loyal and righteous. "Aoba Pa, Jialie Bi, those who commit too much injustice are doomed to destroy themselves. You'd better think this through!" Ya Fei said solemnly.

Jialie Bi snorted. "No need for Young Miss Ya Fei to worry. We have no intention of making an enemy of Mitel, but the Xiao Family must give us an explanation!"

"An explanation? What explanation? I think you came here with ill intentions from the start. You want to destroy our Xiao Family? I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Seeing the Dou Zhe troops suddenly appear behind Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa, Xiao Zhan and several Xiao Family elders instantly understood.

The Jialie Family and Aoba Family had come this time with the plan to wipe out his Xiao Family, then snatch the person away!

If it were normal times, for the survival of the family, they might still have swallowed this humiliation. But Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder, and the others turned to glance at the direction of Su Garden, and their hearts were already set. No matter what, they would protect that Banished Immortal youth!

"All Xiao Family disciples, heed my order. Prepare for battle!"

With Xiao Zhan's sharp shout, behind him, a dense crowd surged out from houses and alleys, numbering over a hundred at most.

Seeing such a scene, Ya Fei was also greatly shocked.

"Quick, go back to the auction house and transfer some people over. I want High-Star Dou Shi."

"Young Miss, are we joining in too?"

"When necessary, act on my command."

Ya Fei's full and exquisitely curved figure retreated to a relatively safe place. She merely gazed out over the Xiao Family disciples, wanting to find the youth from that day among them, but not a single figure possessed that same otherworldly, stunning grace, nor that same bearing.

She became increasingly certain in her heart that the person causing the phenomenon at the place the Xiao Family was desperately protecting right now was that youth who had worn the Rakshasa Ghost Mask back then! Since the Xiao Family refused to hand him over, Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa no longer hesitated. With a wave of their hands, they shouted, "Kill! Whoever kills a Xiao Family deacon will be rewarded with a Deacon Position. Whoever kills a Xiao Family elder will be listed in an Elder Position. All will enjoy double the resource allocation!"

As for Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa, the Dou Qi within their bodies erupted in an instant as they charged toward Su Garden! At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a Jia Nan Academy Uniform had only just hurriedly arrived at the Xiao Family.

The beauty had a longsword at her waist and a rather tall figure. The most eye-catching thing about her, however, was still that pair of round, long legs. Those sexy, alluring long legs were something even the enchanting and charming Ya Fei could not quite match.

Xiao Yu cursed under her breath. "That Xiao Ning, he didn't even explain the reason clearly in his letter. Why did he call me back in such a hurry?"

Only, she had not expected that the moment she entered the Xiao Family gates, she would smell blood. Waves of clashing weapons rang out, making her brows knit tightly as she charged inside.

She fought her way all the way to the Great Elder's side.

When the Great Elder saw that Xiao Yu had returned, he truly did not know whether to cry or laugh. "Yu'er, why are you only back now? If you had come back earlier, it would have been a good thing. If you had come back later, it would also have been a good thing. But you just had to come back at this time. Aren't you running straight into disaster?"

"Grandfather, what exactly is going on? Why would the Jialie Family and Aoba Family suddenly attack our Xiao Family? This is truly hateful!"

"What? That damned brat Xiao Ning didn't tell you in his letter that the Dream Lover who bathed with you back then truly exists, and has already moved into our Xiao Family? He's breaking through right over there!"

"N-no! If he really had said that, even if I had to violate school rules, I would have rushed back immediately. He only said Grandfather wanted me to come back to the clan when I had time!"

"That Stinky Kid, truly more than useless, always ruining things! If the Xiao Family can get through this crisis, watch how This Old Man beats him to death!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu was already trembling all over, both excited and furious.

The next moment, she drew her sword and rose, charging toward the disciples of the Jialie Family and Aoba Family:

"Kill!"

"Protect the best Dream Lover in the whole world!"

Only she herself knew that the hot spring bath back then had captured her entire life!
