Alive again

whoosh--

Without a word, Yun Du rushed towards Qian Ye with lightning speed, his green sword piercing Qian Ye's heart before emerging from behind.

After doing all this, Yun Du quickly drew his sword. Mainly because Hai Bodong was right behind him, he had to turn back immediately, fearing that he would be injured if Hai Bodong suddenly attacked.

"This..." Hai Bodong didn't expect Yun Du to make such a move, nor did he expect that Qian Ye, who was at least a Peak Dou Wang, couldn't even dodge Yun Du's attack. He wondered if Qian Ye was a fake Dou Wang, otherwise how could he be so easily defeated and killed by Yun Du in one hit?

The other members of the Mittel Clan behind them shared the same thought. They had originally hoped that Qian Ye and Yao Ye could lend a hand, but now that they had been instantly killed by Yun Du with a single sword strike, they began to doubt Yao Ye's intentions. They felt that she hadn't genuinely come to help the Mittel Clan, but rather to toy with them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought just the two of them, and with a weakling who was easily defeated before even making a move.

"Grand Preceptor, you..." Seeing that Qian Ye's heart had been pierced by Yun Du, he was also surprised. How could a Nine-Star Dou Zong be so careless and be instantly killed by a One-Star Dou Huang? Was there a bit of exaggeration involved?

He is indeed Seventh-Tier Apothecary, but is there Nine-Star Dou Zong who is this weak?

Wahaha~

Yun Du laughed, "That's it? I thought you were some great person, but it turns out you're just putting on airs. A weakling like you dares to spout nonsense in front of me. It's an injustice if you don't die. I advise you to be a better person in your next life, or you'll end up like today..."

Wahaha~

The Yun Sha and Mist Yun Sect members also laughed, mocking Qian Ye for being so easily defeated and trying to act tough like a big shot; he deserved to die.

"He... he's dead? He was the Grand Tutor of the Jia Ma Empire, and although he was only Nine-Star Dou Wang, he had one foot in the Dou Huang realm. It's impossible that he was killed in one move by Yun Du, right?"

"Hmph! I don't think he has the strength. What Nine-Star Dou Wang? I think the royal family is just fooling us. He's a weakling. In the end, the royal family just doesn't want to help us or offend the Mist Yun Sect, so they sent this weakling to die! This way, they can deal with us without offending the Mist Yun Sect. Yao Ye really played his cards well!"

"As expected, the royal family never genuinely intended to help us. If they weren't going to help, fine, but why all this pretense? Are they afraid the Mittel Clan isn't miserable enough, and they want to rub salt into our wounds?"

"Hehe..."

Faced with the accusations from the Mittel Clan, Yao Ye speechless and unable to express his bitterness. He had originally thought that with Qian Ye, a Nine-Star Dou Zong, on the scene, they could completely suppress the Mist Yun Sect, but he never expected to be killed instantly by Yun Du with a single sword strike. (-_-) (-_-)

Not to mention that the Mittel Clan would doubt his intentions, even he himself couldn't believe that what was happening before his eyes was real. After all, the Imperial Preceptor was a Seventh-Tier Apothecary, so there was no doubt about it. He had already seen him refine seventh-grade pills twice in person, and just now he had even triggered two-colored Pill Lightning in the Council Hall.

Even if he was bragging and didn't have the strength of Nine-Star Dou Zong, he couldn't possibly be just Dou Wang; he must have had the strength of Dou Huang. How could he have been instantly killed by Yun Du with a single sword strike?

Yao Ye was completely baffled.

Ya Fei closed her eyes, not wanting to say anything. From beginning to end, she had never expected that the national advisor brought by Yao Ye could contribute much. In her opinion, a Nine-Star Dou Wang was not as strong as the Grand Elder Mittel Tengshan, let alone the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. Even the two of them could not repel the enemy, so she did not think Qian Ye was of any use. She just felt that it was a pity that a Seventh-Tier Apothecary like him died like this.

"Imperial Preceptor, Imperial Preceptor, can you hear me? How are you? Don't scare me!" Yao Ye covered his wound with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

For some reason, seeing Qian Ye in such a miserable state, with his life almost completely cut off, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

I've only known him for a few days, so why do I have such deep feelings for him?

Could it be... could it be that he stole her first kiss outside the Mittel Clan manor just now, that's why she's having this reaction?

"Qian Ye... Qian Ye..." Yao Ye tried to wake him, but his eyelids slowly drooped, and after twitching a few times, he lay motionless in her arms. "Chiba... Qian Ye, you can't die!"

Sigh~

Hai Bodong sighed, looking at the lifeless Qian Ye, then at Yao Ye: "Your Highness, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."

"Is this all you've got?" Yun Du laughed, looking at the stiff-bodied Qian Ye with a sarcastic expression. He was proud of his strength, having killed one of their Dou Wang with a single sword strike. This was the benefit of advancing to Dou Huang.

Wahaha~

Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, like a bolt from the blue, shattering the atmosphere.

Everyone looked over, but couldn't see the person laughing. It seemed to come from behind, or from in front, or from all directions, or even from the sky.

At that moment, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene: Qian Ye moved, floating directly from the ground until he stopped at a height of three zhang, then turned upside down, standing upright with his head facing upwards.

"What... what happened to him? Wasn't he dead? How can he still fly?"

"I don't know! Could it be that he's not dead yet, and since he didn't develop wings, how did he suddenly fly into the air?"

"Strange! Very strange."

"Qian Ye... Qian Ye, are you alright?" Yao Ye's eyes lit up. Seeing that Qian Ye had flown up on his own, he felt that he would be fine. Perhaps it was just a mistake that he failed to dodge Yun Du's sneak attack, but as a Nine-Star Dou Zong, he could not possibly be easily killed by a One-Star Dou Huang. So Qian Ye was still alive, which was great!

"Old Hai, what do you think?" Seeing this, Ya Fei was also baffled. How could a dead person fly into the air?

Hai Bodong didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying, "Ya Fei, as far as I know, there's a type of elixir called the Life Returning Pill. If you take it, even if you're killed, you can be brought back to life. As long as you're not beheaded or have your heart shattered, you can use it to save your life. The Life Returning Pill is a seventh-grade elixir, and he himself is Seventh-Tier Apothecary, so I think he might have already taken this elixir beforehand, which is why he was brought back to life."

"So it's the Life Returning Pill. I've seen this kind of pill before at an auction house in the Black-Corner Region. It does indeed have the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life. I never expected to see it with my own eyes today. This is the advantage of being an alchemist. You don't need to ask others for help; you can refine it yourself. Of course, only Seventh-Tier Apothecary like him has such an ability," Mittel Tengshan said excitedly.

He thought to himself, "If this person can be used by my Mittel Clan, with the seventh-grade pill he refines, the Life Returning Pill, there's no doubt that the Mittel Clan will cause a sensation throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even outside of the Jia Ma Empire."
