Wu Ya, Six-Winged Sky Centipede

"Good. I never expected the alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire to possess a Heavenly Flame. No wonder they dispatched so many alchemists this time—they were there to escort it!" Yan Li laughed heartily.

"Is this Heavenly Flame really that powerful?" Wu Ya asked.

Yan Li nodded. "Naturally. You need to be especially careful with that deadly poison of yours. Flames born of heaven and earth are extremely terrifying!"

"Don't worry. Among the Jia Ma Empire's alchemists, the strongest is that old man Fama. He's only a four-star Dou Huang, nowhere near a match for this old man!" Wu Ya said blandly.

Hearing Wu Ya's words, Yan Li was reassured. He then asked, "So when do we make our move?"

Wu Ya gave a sinister laugh. "Of course, we strike first. We'll act tonight!"

Mr. Yao, who stood nearby, said in a trembling voice, "My lords, c-can I have an antidote? Considering I brought you information as well, I don't want to die!"

Yan Li glanced at Wu Ya. Wu Ya said nothing, and Yan Li tossed Mr. Yao a jade bottle.

"There's a Poison-Avoiding Pill inside, a fourth-tier medicinal pill. It will be enough to help you survive the poison. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened here!" Yan Li said coldly as he looked at Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao hurriedly grabbed the jade bottle and nodded vigorously. "I definitely won't say anything. Rest assured!"

"Get lost!" Yan Li waved him away.

Mr. Yao hurriedly ran out of the cave. Watching his retreating figure, Yan Li sneered. "That idiot really thinks I'll let him go!"

Wu Ya's eyes were filled with indifference. He did not care in the slightest whether Mr. Yao lived or died.

"I hope those alchemists can give me a pleasant surprise!" Wu Ya said with a chilling laugh.

Inside a room at the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.

Jia He, Ya Fei, and Little Fairy Doctor were all there. Before long, a figure pushed open the door and entered.

Jia He looked at Mitchell and asked, "How did it go?"

Mitchell nodded. "Mr. Yao, the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, went out earlier. He was likely going to meet the expert who spread the poison. I was afraid of alerting them, so I didn't follow him inside. Mr. Yao is on his way back now!"

Ya Fei looked at Jia He in surprise. "How did you know the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall was colluding with that expert?"

Little Fairy Doctor also looked at Jia He with curiosity.

Jia He said calmly, "There was something wrong with that owner's gaze. And when I was detoxifying those people earlier, he was lurking suspiciously at the doorway!"

"Besides, I guessed that the person who spread the poison was still lying low around here, so he would naturally need informants. Those informants needed the strength to keep track of everything around Green City. The Ten Thousand Medicine Hall is the strongest force in this area, so I had President Mitchell follow him!"

Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood. Then Ya Fei said with a charming smile, "I didn't expect you to be so observant!"

"Our opponent is a Dou Huang expert. How could I not be careful?" Jia He said with a light laugh.

Mitchell then looked at Jia He and asked, "What do we do next?"

"Once Mr. Yao returns, take him down immediately and find out what they're planning!" Jia He said.

Mitchell nodded. "All right!"

Not long afterward, Mr. Yao returned to the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.

The moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Jia He and the others standing there, their eyes fixed on him!

Mr. Yao's heart jolted. With an unnatural smile on his face, he said, "Everyone, why are you all standing here?"

Jia He chuckled. "We're waiting for someone!"

Mr. Yao asked in surprise, "Oh? Waiting for someone? Who?"

"Of course, Mr. Yao. Going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and returning in such a short time—your speed is quite impressive!" Jia He said blandly.

The moment Mr. Yao heard Jia He's words, his expression changed drastically. He spun around and tried to flee!

The aura of a Dou Huang erupted from Jia He's body. The terrifying pressure instantly forced Mr. Yao flat onto the ground.

"A-a Dou Huang expert?" Mr. Yao's face was full of disbelief!

Jia He slowly walked over to Mr. Yao. Stopping before him, he smiled and said, "I ask, you answer. Slow answers mean death!"

Boom!

Flames erupted from Jia He's palm. The scorching heat made Mr. Yao feel as though he could already see himself buried within the flames!

"I'll talk, I'll tell you everything! Don't kill me!" Mr. Yao was weak-willed and immediately surrendered.

"I don't know who those two men really are, but one of them should be an alchemist. He said the flame on your body is a Heavenly Flame. The other is an old man with a black centipede pattern on his face. He looks extremely frightening!"

"They agreed to act tonight. Their targets are the alchemists sent by the Alchemist Association, as well as the Heavenly Flame in your possession!" Mr. Yao revealed everything he knew!

Upon hearing this, Jia He immediately thought of someone. In the Cloudrise Empire, the old man with a centipede on his face could only be Wu Ya, a peak Dou Huang expert!

As for that alchemist, anyone who could recognize a Heavenly Flame was basically an alchemist of at least the fourth tier. It was most likely that restless fellow Yan Li!

Unfortunately for them, the flames in Jia He's hands were not Heavenly Flames, though their power was no weaker than one!

Jia He nodded after hearing this. "Not bad. You've been obedient enough, so I'll give you a quick death!"

Mr. Yao's eyes widened at once. The flames in Jia He's hand swept out, and in an instant, Mr. Yao was reduced to ashes!

A living man had been burned to death by flames just like that, without even letting out a scream!

Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor, standing behind him, both had somewhat pale faces.

Jia He rose to his feet. Looking at Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor, he smiled faintly. "Do you think I was a little cruel?"

Ya Fei shook her head. "He colluded with people from the Cloudrise Empire and caused the deaths of everyone in an entire city. He deserved to die!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly beside her. "Sister Ya Fei is right. Mr. Yao caused the deaths of so many people. His death was no loss!"

Jia He smiled. "Since when did you two become so close?"

Ya Fei gave Jia He a seductive glance and snorted. "The friendship between women is something you wouldn't understand!"

Jia He nodded with a smile. "All right, all right. I don't understand!"

Jia He then looked at Mitchell. "Tell the people from the Alchemist Association to stay alert tonight!"

Mitchell nodded. Jia He then looked at Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor. "You two stay by President Mitchell's side. No matter what happens, don't come out. Understood?"

Ya Fei looked at Jia He worriedly. "What about you?"

Jia He smiled. "They're just two clowns. I don't take them seriously!"

With Jia He's current strength, cultivators at the Dou Huang realm were basically nothing to worry about. Furthermore, one of them used poison, and Jia He's lightning and fire attributes happened to counter him perfectly!

As for Yan Li, Jia He could crush him with one hand!

As night fell, two figures shot out from the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Behind them flew a Six-Winged Sky Centipede several zhang long.

Under the bright moonlight, the Six-Winged Sky Centipede gleamed with a cold light, making it look especially unsettling!
