Crimson Red

Shentu Nantian looked at Jiang Xiaorou, Yi Yun noticed a hint of greed in Shentu Nantian's eyes!

The feeling was like a venomous snake spotting its delicious prey.

Yi Yun gripped Jiang Xiaorou's hand tightly, his palms sweaty, his expression highly tense, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

If Shentu Nantian decides to take action against Jiang Xiaorou, Yi Yun really won't know what to do.

He was usually calm, but now, his mind went completely blank.

"What's wrong... what happened?"

At that moment, two elderly men walked into the crowd.

The leader, dressed in a robe with Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, had white hair but bright, piercing eyes; he was none other than the Prince Chu!

Beside the Prince Chu was an old man in gray robes. This old man had been present when Yi Yun met Shentu Nantian in the main hall. He rarely spoke and seemed to be the Prince Chu of Chu's personal bodyguard.

"Your Highness, there's something wrong with Yi Yun's sister's identity."

With the guards of the Prince Chu's Estate present, they quickly explained the situation to the Prince Chu using their spiritual energy.

The Prince Chu was stunned; he had never expected such a thing to happen.

"Young Master Nantian, who exactly is this girl?"

Jiang Xiaorou's identity is currently shrouded in mystery, and only Shentu Nantian himself probably knows the details.

"She is from the Desolate Clan." Shentu Nantian simply defined Jiang Xiaorou with a single sentence, without offering any further explanation.

Yi Yun's heart sank. The Desolate Clan!!

Even if their blood is red, are they still a member of the Desolate Race?

Previously, Shentu Nantian had said that if Jiang Xiaorou merely a wild tribeswoman who had been adopted by chance and knew nothing about the Shepherd Boy's invasion, he could let her off the hook. But now... things are clearly not that simple!

"Young Master Nantian, what will you do to my sister? Although she is from the Desolate Clan, she is just a mortal of the Desolate Clan." Yi Yun suppressed his turbulent emotions and asked Shentu Nantian in a respectful tone, hoping that he would let Jiang Xiaorou go.

"A mortal from the Desolate Clan?" Shentu Nantian glanced at Yi Yun and chuckled. "How do you know she's a mortal? She's no ordinary mortal; her identity is very special!"

"I'm taking your sister away. Although I could weave a lie to keep you clinging to a beautiful illusion, I won't do that. I want you to understand that humans and the Wilderness Clan are mortal enemies and can never coexist peacefully."

"To us, the Wild Clan are nothing more than talking beasts. Originally, if this little girl were truly just an ordinary mortal from the Wild Clan, it wouldn't matter if you took her in as a pet or a slave; I could allow you to do so. Unfortunately, she isn't. Her identity is extraordinary. If we release her back into the Wild Clan, it will bring endless disasters to people, even more serious than the Beast Tide stirred up by the Shepherd Boy this time!"

Shentu Nantian's words stunned everyone; the situation was even more serious than the Beast Tide stirred up by the Shepherd Boy. Could that little girl possibly be capable of such a thing?

"So... I must kill her. As for her blood, I'll use it to make elixirs! The truth is cruel, but since you asked, I'll tell you the truth."

Shentu Nantian's smile vanished as he finished speaking; his voice was icy and filled with murderous intent.

Behind Yi Yun, Jiang Xiaorou felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Alchemy!

Will she be refined into an elixir?

Yi Yun's blood rushed to his head, and his eyes became bloodshot.

Shentu Nantian actually wants to use Jiang Xiaorou to refine pills?

At that moment, Yi Yun felt as if his soul had left his body. Standing in front of Shentu Nantian, he seemed to be isolated from the world around him, with only Shentu Nantian in his eyes.

What should I do? What should I do!?

A myriad of thoughts surged through Yi Yun's mind, but none of them could resolve the current situation!

At this moment, Shentu Nantian turned to the Prince Chu, "Prince Chu, you've come at the right time. Do you have an alchemy room in your residence? Please make room for the best one."

"The... alchemy room?" Prince Chu smiled bitterly, glancing at Yi Yun out of the corner of his eye.

The Prince Chu was in a complete mess; how could things have developed to this point?

Although he didn't care about Yi Yun, many high-ranking members within the divine kingdom were optimistic about Yi Yun and even hoped that he would change the fate of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

If I help Shentu Nantian refine Yi Yun's sister, and Yi Yun does something foolish in a fit of rage, causing any trouble, I'm afraid I'll be blamed for it all.

The Prince Chu was at a loss for words.

"Grandpa, if Young Master Nantian wants a pill room, we'll give it to him. Don't we have a Medicine King Pavilion in our manor? That's an Earth Fire Pill Room. In the entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom, only the Dragon Pill Pavilion in the Imperial City can compare to the Medicine King Pavilion."

Beside the Prince Chu, Yang Dingkun said gloatingly. He was overjoyed. He had exaggerated the grade of the Medicine King Pavilion, fearing that Shentu Nantian would look down on it.

It would be very interesting if Yi Yun's older sister were refined in the Medicine King Pavilion of the Prince Chu's Estate.

Thinking of this, Yang Dingkun looked at Yi Yun, only to see that Yi Yun had already touched the Space Ring with one hand, and the veins on his forehead were twisted, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

Seeing Yi Yun touch the Space Ring, Yang Dingkun was overjoyed.

Good! Excellent! If we can provoke Yi Yun into making a move, that would be wonderful for everyone. Perhaps we can even use someone else to do the dirty work and get Shentu Nantian to kill Yi Yun.

What does someone like Yi Yun mean to Shentu Nantian?

Thinking of this, Yang Dingkun used his Yuan Qi to transmit a sarcastic tone. "Yi Yun, tsk tsk, your expression is truly terrifying, but what can you do? Right now, you can only obediently watch your sister be refined into pills. Young Master Nantian said that the stronger the Desolate Clan, the stronger their bloodline power, and the higher the grade of the pills refined from them. To gain Young Master Nantian's favor, it seems your sister has a good bloodline. I wish I could get a few pills too."

As Yang Dingkun spoke in a sarcastic tone, Yi Yun's gaze darkened. In his heart, he had already sentenced Yang Dingkun to death.

In fact, Yi Yun has never actually killed anyone so far.

For example, Lian Chengyu, although he died at the hands of Yi Yun only crippled him. Later, Lian Chengyu died from despair and severe injuries.

But now, Yi Yun has decided to kill Yang Dingkun!

Faced with Yi Yun's icy gaze, Yang Dingkun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Yi Yun was not provoked into losing his temper and attacking blindly, which annoyed Yang Dingkun. On the contrary, Yi Yun's murderous gaze frightened Yang Dingkun.

"Why should I be afraid of him!" Yang Dingkun muttered to himself. He had already decided to take advantage of this arrangement of the alchemy room to curry favor with Shentu Nantian and make sure Shentu Nantian served him well.

At that time, he will rise to prominence overnight.

So what if Yi Yun? Is he that great? While he holds a high position in Tai'a Divine City, compared to the Young Master Nantian, he's nothing! (To be continued~^~)
