The High Priest's Killing Intent

The High Priest was now truly enraged. His precious, hundred-fold-more-valued Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was on the verge of collapse, yet the Purple Gold Medicine Saint was still thinking of preserving his Seven Emotions Fire at this critical moment!

The High Priest knew that once this great formation collapsed, he would be a sinner of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom. The Nine Li Witch Kingdom's Medicine Nurturing Great Formation had been passed down for so long, and it would end in his hands. He would have no face to face the millions of people of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, and no face to face his ancestors!

Faced with the High Priest's murderous intent, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint's breath hitched. He had no doubt that the High Priest would really do what he said he would do.

Although he was skilled in medicine, in terms of actual strength, he was only average among those at the same level. After all, medicine took up too much of his energy, so how could he possibly be a match for the High Priest, let alone with the addition of the Old Man Black Stone?

At this moment, he could feel that the Old Man Black Stone was also staring at him, and the coldness in his gaze made his back tingle.

He was truly suffering in silence. He had shot himself in the foot. Now, let alone solving the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation and devouring Ling Xie'er, he was even about to lose his own life force.

No matter how precious the Seven Emotions Fire is, it is not as precious as one's own life. The Purple Gold Medicine Saint repeatedly cast spells and continuously urged the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation, hoping to stabilize the array.

But by this time, many alchemists had already left, the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation was incomplete, and the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was becoming increasingly violent. With one side weakening the other, his efforts were completely in vain.

Seeing the Seven Emotions Fire being tormented at the heart of the formation, and even the area where they were located being swept by the heatwave, although they were unharmed thanks to the Yuan Qi shield, his disciples were all burning up, and the scene was simply embarrassing!

Just then, the High Priest's voice, booming like a great bell, resounded throughout the entire area. "Today, my Jiuli tribe entrusts the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation to you! Not one of you will escape unscathed. I will send a message to the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, who are on high alert outside. If my array collapses, you will all perish with it, not one of you will be spared!"

The High Priest's voice was filled with murderous intent, causing everyone who was busy fleeing for their lives to pause in shock.

Have the Nine Li Witch Kingdom gone mad? Are they going to defy the world and leave them all here?

But upon closer reflection, the Nine Li Witch Kingdom could indeed do such a thing. They were too powerful. Throughout history, countless forces had been destroyed by the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, yet it remained standing. Now that the High Priest had uttered such insane words, no one doubted that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom did not care about being enemies with all the alchemists in the worlds near the Tiannan Great World. For them, what truly mattered was the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation.

For a moment, no one dared to run away.

Although the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation was in dire straits, they still gritted their teeth and returned to their positions.

"Purple Gold Medicine Saint, this is all your doing! You've ruined us!"

"We're back! Quickly activate the formation and stabilize it!"

"What are you waiting for? Get moving, or we're all doomed!"

Although the Purple Gold Medicine Saint held a higher position, at this point, who could care less? A group of alchemists urged him on.

At this point, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint was practically going crazy; no matter how much he urged him, there was nothing he could do.

He felt like an impotent man facing a group of lustful women who kept urging him to get things done, but he just couldn't get an erection.

"Where is the fire? Didn't you just tell everyone to contribute their fire? To gather everyone's fire power to stabilize the formation!" the High Priest roared menacingly.

Previously, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint wanted these people to be his source of inspiration, but they all made excuses, and the opportunity has already passed.

The Purple Gold Medicine Saint could only say, "The Heaven and Earth Grand Array and Earth has gone mad. Even if all these people gather their fire seeds, their power will not be enough."

"Not enough power?" The High Priest's heart sank. So many sparks of fire weren't enough?

Beside the High Priest, the Old Man Black Stone sneered and said, "In the end, all your talk about setting up formations and boasting has come to nothing. All the alchemists combined are not as powerful as a little girl!"

Upon hearing the words of the Old Man Black Stone, the High Priest was also startled. He couldn't help but look at Yi Yun, who was standing in mid-air outside the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation, unharmed by the rampant fire-elemental energy.

The High Priest knew that it was Yi Yun's replacement of the array fire that caused the change in the array. However, looking at it from another perspective, it took three whole years for the change in the array to show signs after Yi Yun replaced the array fire, and another three years before they discovered it.

After the Purple Gold Medicine Saint replaced the array fire, the great array was engulfed in monstrous waves within just a few quarters of an hour, as if it were about to explode.

The High Priest had previously disliked Ling Xie'er, but now, reflecting on it, he found it hard to believe.

Is Ling Xie'er really that powerful? That seemingly harmless little girl actually possesses such strength?

Although the High Priest was powerful, none of his Jiuli clan were skilled in the art of medicine, and he did not know the root cause of the changes in the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation.

After the Old Man Black Stone said this, all the pharmacists present felt ashamed. They were also surprised by Yi Yun's fire seed. At this moment, Yi Yun's fire seed was still curled up in a corner of the core space of the great formation. No matter how fierce the divine fire was outside, the fire seed was safe and sound.

They deeply felt that they had greatly underestimated this spark; its quality had completely surpassed that of the Emperor Heaven Pure Fire!

Is there such a powerful spark in this world? If Yi Yun's spark provides the power, then stabilizing this great formation is not impossible.

The Purple Gold Medicine Saint had naturally considered this point as well, but it was impossible for him to admit that he was inferior to Yi Yun at this moment. He only regretted that he had not been able to completely absorb Yi Yun's fire seed; otherwise, he didn't know how far his Seven Emotions Fire would have evolved, and how could he have been unable to cope with the changes in this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation?

"Let Yi Yun's fire seed join in, and we'll join in too. Then we'll have a chance to stabilize the great formation," a pill refiner suddenly spoke up, saying to the High Priest.

With the sword of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom at their throats, they must do everything in their power to repair the great formation.

However, they Heart Fire would be torn apart. But if they brought Yi Yun in as well, the situation would be different.

With that top-tier fire seed as a shield, even if their fire seed energy is devoured by the Heaven and Earth Grand Array, it will be the top-tier fire seed that takes the fall, while their lower-tier fire seeds can just muddle along.

"That's right. Only if Yi Yun also contributes his seed can we succeed, but his seed is currently stuck in one corner, only seeking to protect himself."

Another alchemist spoke up. They couldn't order Yi Yun to comply, so they could only exert pressure through the Nine Li Witch Kingdom. As long as the Nine Li Witch Kingdom took strong measures, Yi Yun would have no choice but to comply.

At this moment, Yi Yun laughed, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. I left the fire seed in the great formation for three years. She exhausted her power and barely maintained the stability of the great formation. You came and set up the great formation to devour her. Now your fire seed has taken control of the great formation. In just over ten breaths, the great formation is on the verge of collapse, and you still expect me to contribute the fire seed to help you stabilize the great formation?"

"I regret to inform you that my fire seed was severely damaged by being devoured, and I'm afraid it cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. However, I think you shouldn't bother with any fire seed at all. Just tear off your own faces, and you can cover this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation."

Yi Yun's merciless sarcasm was too much for the alchemists present, especially the disciples of the Purple Gold Medicine Saint. When Yi Yun said "you," he was actually referring specifically to their master, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint. How could they allow their master to be insulted like this?

"Yi Yun! The problem with this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation is all because of you! What are you pretending to be so important for? If my master hadn't taken over, this formation would have collapsed long ago. The current anomaly is simply because the problems from before were too deep-seated, and my master couldn't salvage it!"

"That's right. If my master's Seven Emotions Fire can devour that little girl, then stabilizing the great formation won't be difficult!"

As soon as the disciples finished speaking, they suddenly felt an aura as deep and dark as a hell descend from the sky, as if a god of death had descended. The disciples were shocked, feeling their blood flow backward and their hearts stop beating.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, several disciples let out a painful groan, their faces deathly pale.

"High... High Priest..."

Blood trickled from the lips of the disciples of the Purple Gold Medicine Saint. Just a moment ago, an immense pressure had descended upon them, directly injuring their meridians. And the one who had struck was none other than the High Priest of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom!

At this moment, the High Priest had a gloomy expression and a murderous look on his face. The Sha Qi emanating from him was suffocating, and the disciples of the Purple Gold Medicine Saint dared not utter a word.

The High Priest gave Yi Yun a deep look. Even though he was usually tough, he felt ashamed and couldn't bring himself to ask Yi Yun to contribute the fire.

He took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to the Old Man Black Stone and the Nine Li Witch Maiden, "Black Stone, Li'er..."

"You want me to speak to Yi Yun?" Before the High Priest could finish speaking, the Old Man Black Stone immediately understood Old Man Black Stone meaning. If possible, he certainly didn't want to lose face, but now the fate of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom was at stake, and this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation naturally had to be preserved.

"Young friend Yi Yun, for my sake, if possible, I hope you can lend a hand."

The Old Man Black Stone spoke sincerely. The Nine Li Witch Maiden remained silent, looking at Yi Yun with hope, now placing all her hopes on him.

Yi Yun cupped his hands slightly and said, "Senior Black Stone, you are too kind. What you said is true. This Medicine Nurturing Great Formation did indeed mutate because I replaced the fire seed earlier. Although the scale of the mutation is now too large to handle, I can only do my best to help."

"However, my seed of fire has been stabilizing the great formation for the past few years, which has already consumed a lot of its power. It was also devoured by them before, so it is quite weak now. I don't have absolute certainty about how far it can go."

Yi Yun would never forget the Oblivion River Water given to him by the Old Man Black Stone and the Nine Li Witch Maiden, and of course he would not sit idly by and watch the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation completely collapse.
