Yin Water Pill, Met with Disdain

Qingyang Temple.

Zhu Yu, who was brewing the medicinal liquid, stirred slightly and chuckled. "That was fast..." But then he gave a soft sound of surprise, astonishment filling his eyes. "Divine sense... True Person Mi and the others?...

His eyes narrowed slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he still gave up on the idea of keeping True Person Mi and the others behind.

After all, he was eating from someone else's pot. They had already given him an extra pair of chopsticks; trying to take their pot as well would make his table manners far too ugly.

Besides, the pot that was the "Weird Realm" was large enough.

True Person Mi could not finish it all, and neither could he. There was no need to burn every bridge.

Still, Zhu Yu had no intention of meeting them.

With a shift of his thoughts.

The surface of the Myriad Soul Banner standing in the courtyard rippled. The Water Ape, whose injuries had already healed, leaped out from within, strode out through the courtyard gate with heavy steps, and headed straight down the mountain.

Midway up the mountain.

Fang Cheng, who was driving cattle and sheep up the slope, jumped in fright when he saw the Water Ape descending. He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Brother Gui."

The Water Ape did not even glance at him. Its crimson eyes fixed unblinkingly upon the cattle and sheep. Fortunately, Zhu Yu had given it instructions, so it merely stared and did not truly make a move.

Only after it vanished around the bend did Fang Cheng let out a breath.

Fang Cheng immediately relaxed. This one put even greater pressure on him than Zhu Yu. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly drove the incessantly bleating cattle and sheep toward the mountaintop.
