Jiang Erhe Seeks Revenge! Killed with One Punch! Xiao Yan Arrives

"One Foundation Establishment Pill? Are you fobbing off a beggar? Am I someone short of one Foundation Establishment Pill?

Three Foundation Establishment Pills! One less, and I'll spread this matter far and wide!

A sect disciple ran wild and tyrannical, bullied others with the backing of his power, and wiped out an entire lineage at the slightest disagreement!

You insulted my Zhang Family and showed no respect for your elders! Is this the way your Cloud Mountain Sword Sect conducts itself?"

Having said that, Zhang Chongxian simply stood there quietly, waiting for Lin Feng's reply.

When it came to reputation, a lineage cared far less than a sect did.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Chongxian's words, Lin Feng was furious yet helpless.

If the Zhang Family truly embroidered the tale and spread it around, the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect's reputation would suffer severe damage. When the sect opened its gates to take in disciples, who would still come?

At that thought,

Lin Feng's gaze toward Jiang Erhe grew increasingly dissatisfied, and even a trace of killing intent rose within him!

Today's humiliation had all been caused by that idiot's foolish son!

He had made a great show of going to break off the engagement, wanted to wipe out someone's lineage, and even left evidence behind!

He was worse than trash!

If he were not a veteran Rank 2 High-grade Alchemist, Lin Feng would have simply killed him!

Jiang Erhe, kneeling in the air, naturally sensed the killing intent in Lin Feng's eyes.

He could not die yet, and he still needed the Ancestor's protection. Otherwise, he would not be able to get through today's ordeal on his own.

If he died, who would avenge his son?

He said, "Senior Zhang! I'll pay the three Foundation Establishment Pills! This matter began because of my son. As his father, it is only natural that I repay the debt."

As his words fell, two white-blue jade boxes emitting a faint glow and a Storage Bag floated before Zhang Chongxian.

He continued, "Senior, this junior only has two Foundation Establishment Pills. As for the remaining one, would fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones suffice as compensation?"

As a veteran Rank 2 High-grade Alchemist, he was naturally capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills, though his success rate was not high.

These two Foundation Establishment Pills had been prepared for his son and Liu Ruyan.

Unfortunately, they were both gone now. What use were Foundation Establishment Pills anymore?

Seeing Jiang Erhe be so tactful, Lin Feng's anger toward him dissipated considerably.

Looking at the two jade boxes that had floated before him, Zhang Chongxian gave Jiang Erhe a surprised glance.

So wealthy? He casually took out two Foundation Establishment Pills!

Putting away the jade boxes and Storage Bag, Zhang Chongxian stepped forward.

Seeing this, Lin Feng stretched out a hand to shield Jiang Erhe behind him and cast several barriers of light as a precaution.

Rank 2 High-grade Alchemists were rare even within the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, and their status was extraordinary.

Otherwise, he would not have remembered who Jiang Erhe's son was.

Zhang Chongxian smiled. His deep, sharp gaze fell upon Jiang Erhe and stared until the latter trembled all over, not daring to let the slightest killing intent arise in his heart.

Whether he could escape this calamity depended on this moment.

"Jiang Erhe, right? This Seat killed your son and did not even leave behind his corpse. Do you bear any resentment?

Oh, right. Before he died, your son even asked you to avenge him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Erhe's pupils suddenly contracted. Killing intent flashed past, but he quickly concealed it.

In its place came boundless desolation. He put on a pitiable expression, his voice trembling slightly.

"All of this was my son reaping what he sowed, and it was also my failure as a father. I... bear no resentment."

After saying this, his eyes became bleak beyond measure, and several more wrinkles seemed to appear on his face.

Though it lasted only an instant, Zhang Chongxian, seasoned through countless battles and killings, still detected that trace of killing intent.

Hmph!

This old bastard was good at swallowing humiliation and enduring. If he let him go now, who knew what losses he might bring to the Zhang Family!

As an old rival, when Lin Feng saw Zhang Chongxian staring at Jiang Erhe without pause, how could he fail to understand that Zhang Chongxian wanted to pull up the weeds by the roots? He immediately issued an order to leave.

He said, "Zhang Chongxian, all your demands have been met. Why haven't you left? Do you want to taste the might of our sect's mountain-protecting Formation?"

"Don't be so hot-tempered. I'm leaving now, all right?

Also, don't let me sense any disciples of your Cloud Mountain Sword Sect stirring up trouble within Zhang Family territory! Otherwise, death!"

With that, he vanished from where he stood, leaving behind a grim-faced Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at Jiang Erhe, whose eyes brimmed with killing intent, and warned him, "This Seat knows you want revenge, but Zhang Chongxian has always cut the grass and removed the roots. He will certainly eliminate a hidden danger like you.

Remember, do not leave the sect. Within the sect is the only place that can guarantee your safety!"

After saying this, he returned to the Cave Mansion at the Spirit Vein's core. Today, he had lost all face!

He would not leave seclusion until he broke through to the Golden Core Mid Stage!

Meanwhile, Zhang Chongxian had not actually left. Instead, he hid atop a small mountain outside the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect.

Based on his many years of experience, Jiang Erhe would definitely retaliate against the Zhang Family! And it would happen soon!

The other man's lifespan was nearly exhausted, his potential had run dry, and he had no possibility of advancing any further. He would not endure for long!

Unless he killed him, Zhang Chongxian would be unable to enter seclusion in peace!

He could not kill him within the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, but what about outside it?

He would wait right here!

Having made up his mind, he used the Breath Concealment Technique to hide all traces of his aura.

That old fellow Cang Ming was a Late Golden Core cultivator. He could not afford to be careless.

Given his temperament, Zhang Chongxian naturally would not have cultivated a Breath Concealment Technique with no offensive power whatsoever.

But Zhang Xuanchen had worn him down through relentless pestering, and in the end, he had cultivated it after all.

Now, it finally came in handy.

Not only had he cultivated it, but aside from those elderly members of the Zhang Family whose lifespans were nearly exhausted, every other cultivator had cultivated it as well.

Whenever they left the lineage, they would use the Breath Concealment Technique to hide part of their cultivation.

Time passed like a white colt flashing through a crack, and seven days vanished in the blink of an eye.

Over these seven days, Jiang Erhe's mind was damaged.

Though he was a Rank 2 High-grade Alchemist, even refining Rank 1 pills caused his furnace to explode.

The image of his son lying in a pool of blood and asking him to avenge him kept surfacing in his mind.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his aura was in disorder. This was clearly a sign that he was about to suffer qi deviation.

"Seven days have passed. It is time to seek revenge."

Jiang Erhe slowly rose to his feet, walked out of his Cave Mansion, took out a Rank 2 Top-grade Flying Ship, and flew toward the Zhang Family.

He did not believe that a Golden Core cultivator would wait for him that long.

At the same time, within some unknown cave, a pair of brown-black eyes abruptly opened.

"Finally, he's come out!"

Once Jiang Erhe entered Zhang Family territory, Zhang Chongxian instantly made his move and imprisoned the Rank 2 Top-grade Flying Ship.

With a grasp of empty space, a massive hand of spiritual power directly plucked Jiang Erhe out.

His eyes filled with terror. "Senior, I—"

Before he could finish, Zhang Chongxian threw a punch, blasting Jiang Erhe directly into fragments and destroying both body and soul.

"Hmph! An ant!"

After doing all this, he gave a cold laugh, put away the Storage Ring and Flying Ship, and strode away.

Meanwhile, upon receiving news of Jiang Erhe's death, Lin Feng erupted with a terrifying aura that instantly sent the disciple kneeling outside the Cave Mansion flying.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "This is going too far!"

At Fire Maple Mountain, Zhang Xuanchen, who had been in seclusion for seven days, came before the spirit fields and used the Cloud Rain Technique to water the Crimson Tooth Rice.

Though he had supposedly been in seclusion for seven days, in truth, he only cultivated for a few hours each day.

If he cultivated for too long, the fragile Meridians of the Qi Refining realm would not be able to bear it.

Besides raising his cultivation, he refined two or three batches of pills and practiced his techniques every day during these seven days.

At this moment, both the success rate and quality of his Rank 1 High-grade Essence Condensing Pills had improved.

Six pills per batch—three Standard Grade and three Inferior Grade. That was tremendous progress.

His Rank 1 Light Body Technique had reached perfection.

The Sword Qi Technique was also only one step away from reaching perfection.

Unfortunately, due to his hasty decision, he had not gone to select an escape technique.

"Hm?"

Zhang Xuanchen, who was using the Cloud Rain Technique, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

His figure flashed, and he arrived outside the Formation.

Seeing Xiao Yan standing atop a rock and craning his neck to look around, a smile appeared on his face.

It seemed his Spirit Liquid formula was about to arrive.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here? Oh? You actually broke through to the Qi Refining Third Layer! It seems the problem with your body has been resolved. Congratulations, congratulations."
