Wicked Cultivator

Doctor Huang revealed a sinister smile and taunted, "Overbearing? I'll show you what overbearing means!"

With that, he raised his leg and kicked towards Xu Yan.

Xu Yan dodged the kick by moving to the side, but Doctor Huang had completely opened the shop door in the process.

He was getting a little angry too. This person was unreasonable and barbaric; anyone would find it intolerable.

However, Doctor Huang directly took out a pill and popped it into his mouth.

The next moment, black energy erupted from his body.

Xu Yan retreated a few steps, widening the distance between himself and Doctor Huang, and exclaimed, "Damn it, no way. We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other; this is too much to escalate to this point."

This pill was clearly a Black Blood Pill, the kind that could kill a person.

"Xu Yan, die for me!"

Doctor Huang shouted, releasing black spiritual energy and throwing a punch at Xu Yan.

Boom!

Just then, Dao Intent erupted from the calligraphy and painting, completely annihilating Doctor Huang, body and soul.

Xu Yan watched Doctor Huang suddenly disappear, feeling a bit surprised.

But it was good that the lunatic was gone; otherwise, he would have been in danger today.

Golden Emperor Ant said, "Master, it seems that mortals possessing Black Blood Pills are not isolated cases."

The current situation in Tianren City likely means that rogue cultivators have arrived and are distributing Black Blood Pills on a large scale.

Xu Yan said, "I hope those cultivators can handle it quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to stay in Tianren City."

He quite liked his current life and didn't want to move unless absolutely necessary.

Hu Li asked the third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan, "Third Elder, what's going on in Tianren City? Why are mortals taking Black Blood Pills?"

They had been waiting in Tianren City for the elite of the Demon Tiger Clan who entered the small shop to come out.

However, that elite member had never reappeared and was most likely dead, killed by an unknown entity. This also made them hesitant to approach Xu Yan's small shop carelessly.

The third elder of the Devil Clan said calmly, "If mortals are taking Black Blood Pills in broad daylight, then it's likely that many other mortals secretly possess them but haven't taken them yet."

"Rogue cultivators must have arrived in Tianren City and are secretly spreading Black Blood Pills. Tianren City might descend into chaos next."

He hadn't expected Tianren City to reach such a state. He had initially planned to take Hu Li and the others away from Tianren City, but now he had reconsidered.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity of Tianren City's chaos to capture Su Jiuer and then return to the Demon Tiger Clan.

Hu Li was listening to the third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan speak when he suddenly noticed several people approaching them and quickly shouted, "Third Elder, someone's coming."

The approaching individuals were all wearing black robes, their entire bodies hidden within, as if they couldn't bear the light. They looked even more sinister than them, who wore black clothing.

The third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan looked up, sensing a trace of danger. He fixed his gaze on the three black-robed figures and said, "Three Fellow Daoists, I trust you are well."

He was certain he didn't know these three individuals, and they were all cultivators at the Sea of Consciousness Realm. Two were at the Sea of Consciousness First Heaven, and one made him feel a sense of danger; he was at least a Sea of Consciousness Second Heaven expert.

The black-robed person walking at the front spoke, "Third Elder of the Demon Tiger Clan, I need you to do something for us."

As he spoke, he threw a bottle towards the third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan.

The third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan caught the bottle and found the person quite baffling. "Fellow Daoist, we don't seem to know each other, do we? I have other matters to attend to, so I cannot help you with your task."

If it weren't for his apprehension of their strength, he would have slapped them. How dare they order the third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan around; they were truly arrogant.

The black-robed person said menacingly, "Third Elder, do you think you have a choice?"

Immediately, he released his cultivation aura, which had surpassed the Sea of Consciousness Second Heaven and reached the Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven.

Gulp!

The third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan swallowed and put on a smile. "May I know what you wish for us to do, Fellow Daoist?"

He was also trying to deduce the identities of these three people. A Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven cultivator plus two Sea of Consciousness First Heaven cultivators was already a terrifying lineup.

Even the Tianren Sect and the Tianya Sect did not have cultivators at the Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven.

Throughout the Southern Domain, cultivators at the Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven were few and far between, and they were all old monsters who rarely left their seclusion.

The black-robed person said, "It's very simple. Distribute the pills in this bottle to the mortals in Tianren City."

Hearing the black-robed person's words, the third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan's hand holding the bottle trembled slightly. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, the pills inside are not Black Blood Pills, are they?"

He had just been discussing pills with Hu Li when the main culprits showed up and asked them to distribute the pills. This was absurd.

"They are Black Blood Pills. You just need to hand them to the mortals," the black-robed person said coldly.

Afterward, the three black-robed figures left together.

Hu Li, after the black-robed figures had departed, said unhappily, "Third Elder, those three guys are too arrogant."

They were from the Demon Tiger Clan, yet they were threatened. It was utterly ridiculous.

The third elder of the Demon Tiger Clan was silent for a moment before saying, "Circumstances dictate our actions. Those three are all Sea of Consciousness Realm cultivators, and one of them is even at the Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven. We can only do as they say."

No matter how unwilling he was to take orders, he had no choice at this moment. A Sea of Consciousness Third Heaven cultivator could kill him with ease.

Hu Li felt even more wronged. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, "Third Elder, they must be rogue cultivators, right? If we report them to the Tianren Sect and let them fight it out, then we can slip away. What do you think?"

He didn't want to go look for the Black Blood Pill. If he were caught by the Tianren Sect, he would definitely be beaten to death.

The Demon Tiger Clan's Third Elder shook his head slightly and said, "If we really did as you suggested, we'd probably die before we even reached the Tianren Sect. You know they're rogue cultivators, so you should understand that there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do."

Rogue cultivators were known for their brutality and bloodlust. From the sect leader down to mortal children, there was no one they wouldn't dare to kill.

Even the inhumane village massacres were mostly carried out by rogue cultivators.

No one knew the headquarters of the rogue cultivators, and perhaps they didn't even have one, making it difficult to target them.

After leaving the Demon Tiger Clan, the three black-robed figures quickly exited Tianren City.

They were certain that the members of the Demon Tiger Clan wouldn't dare to disobey their orders, and they themselves were preparing to do what they truly intended to do.

The three black-robed figures traveled all the way to a very hidden spot at the foot of Tianren Mountain. Before them lay a cave dwelling covered by weeds and a stone door covered in dust.

They didn't attack the stone door but waited by the side, occasionally checking the sky.

Since they were bored, one of the black-robed figures at the Sea of Consciousness First Heaven level said to the black-robed figure at the Sea of Consciousness Triple Heaven level, "Hall Master Mu, do you think there really is a reclusive expert in Tianren City?"

They had also heard the rumors about the mysterious zither player being a reclusive expert from Tianren City, but it hadn't affected their actions, as they didn't know if it was true or not.
