The barrier inside the alchemy chamber was shattered in an instant. The moment the Spirit-Seeking Armadillo and a streak of crimson light disappeared, Yuan Changwu's figure appeared inside the alchemy chamber.
Yuan Changwu entered the alchemy room with an excited expression on his face. He waited in the main hall for a long time and finally saw the blue smoke in the air disappear. He knew that this was a sign that the Wuji Creation Pill was finished.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress his urgency. After leaving the main hall, he went straight to the alchemy room. As soon as he opened the alchemy room, he smelled a medicinal fragrance.
Second Master Yuan was overjoyed. It seemed that the Wuji Creation Pill was truly a divine treasure. He had handled countless pills, but this was the first time he had encountered such a rich medicinal fragrance.
Second Master Yuan wanted to greet his elder brother first, knowing that his brother had been refining pills day and night and must be exhausted by the time they were ready.
But before he could say anything, amidst the rich aroma of herbs, he detected a peculiar earthy smell.
Yuan Changwu:???
This Wuji Creation Pill has such a unique flavor? Do all divine treasures have their own special characteristics?
The earthy smell was quite overpowering, causing Yuan Changwu to be momentarily stunned in the dimly lit alchemy room, but he quickly recovered.
A quick scan with his divine sense revealed no trace of his elder brother's Dharma Body. When his gaze fell upon the alchemy furnace, he discovered that its lid had been lifted.
His eyes searched the alchemy furnace anxiously, but it was empty; the pills that had been sealed inside were nowhere to be seen.
Second Master Yuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His joy was instantly shattered, and the excitement in his eyes turned into a sinister look. Only a strong expression of surprise remained on his face.
The Wuji Creation Pill has disappeared!
Yuan Changwu's divine sense instantly filled the alchemy room, and the atmosphere in the sealed room suddenly turned cold, as if some terrifying creature had descended into the room.
He twisted his neck, the look of surprise on his face slowly turning into a ferocious expression. His gaze followed the source of the earthy smell, and the glint of bloodlust in his eyes suddenly vanished.
"You scoundrel! How dare you come to my Dan Sect to beg for alms!"
Yuan Changwu's expression was somewhat strange. His face was twisted abnormally, and he almost spat out those words through clenched teeth. His hand, hidden in his sleeve, had already crushed a talisman.
He didn't know what had happened before he entered the alchemy room; he only saw that the Wuji Creation Pill in the alchemy furnace was gone, and that his elder brother's Dharma Body must have perished as well.
Who did this?!
Who dares to oppose the Pill Cauldron Sect?!
Who dares to sever my, Yuan Changwu's, path to immortality!
Without hesitation, he crushed the talisman in his hand, Yuan Changwu now furious beyond measure.
He thought of all the price the Pill Cauldron Sect had paid for this, of the countless precious pills, and of the great medicines that prolong life.
Thinking of his own path to immortality, and how long he had been stuck in this predicament, constantly mocked by Deng Shouchong...
I bitterly lament that year after year I embroider gold thread, only to make wedding gowns for others!
Yuan Changwu's chest heaved violently, the sinister look in his eyes almost materialized, and he exhaled a stream of hot breath, his whole being resembling a ferocious beast.
Staring at the empty alchemy furnace, he lost all reason and could no longer remember his brother's parting words. "Do not lightly open the furnace to provoke others."
" The Rogue Cultivators Association! Old Huang! You've ruined my path to immortality! I, Yuan Changwu, will fight you to the death!"
The sinister glint in his eyes turned blood red. After only a brief moment in the alchemy room, Yuan Changwu let out a low growl, then swept his sleeves and left the room, transforming into a black lightning bolt that shot straight into the sky.
The young man traveling through the barrier was also tense. He knew that there were many cultivators in the Pill Cauldron Sect, so he tried to avoid them as much as possible, but he didn't expect to be caught by Yuan Changwu in the end.
Looking at the dark figure in front of him, he felt quite helpless. The Spirit-Seeking Armadillo's innate abilities were extremely convenient, but the smell emanating from it was a bit overpowering, and he was already feeling slightly dizzy.
When the armadillo was found in the alchemy room, it was still stealing the medicinal herbs left behind. It must have been attracted by the leftover herbs from Yuan Changhe's alchemy. Even while the young man was fighting Yuan Changhe, this thing was still consuming spiritual herbs.
Having finally escaped the alchemy room, he knew his whereabouts had likely been exposed as he entered the barrier passage.
Yuan Changwu's roar still echoed in his ears. After traveling for a while, the armadillo had already brought him to the ground.
After emerging from the ground, the young man put away the Spirit-Seeking Armadillo and leaped away, transforming into a streak of light as he headed towards the outside of the mountain gate.
But at this moment, the cultivators in the Pill Cauldron Sect had already begun to gather. After Yuan Changwu crushed the communication talisman, countless powerful cultivators circled and lay in wait within the sect, seemingly waiting for someone.
After learning that the pills had been stolen, Yuan Changwu instructed all the cultivators of the Pill Cauldron Sect to guard the mountain gate tightly and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
Upon receiving the order, the powerful cultivators hastily laid an ambush within the mountain gate. Before they could even make a discovery, a streak of blood-red light shot straight out from inside the mountain gate.
This time, with the ambush laid in advance, the young man could no longer deliberately bypass these powerful cultivators within the Pill Cauldron Sect, and in desperation, he had no choice but to force his way in.
"Who goes there? Stop immediately! You may only enter after Second Master Yuan has inspected you!"
The powerful cultivators lying in ambush ahead, seeing the overwhelming force of the approaching crimson light, roared and launched their attack first.
Yuan Changwu had already instructed in the communication talisman not to let anyone in or out. Considering the sinister look in Second Master Yuan's eyes, they no longer needed to worry about anything.
Get out of my way!
Seeing the group of powerful cultivators from the Pill Cauldron Sect surrounding him, the young man roared angrily. The rolling sound waves, Fusion his Magic Power, caused the cultivators to pause in their tracks as they surged forward.
At this moment, he least wanted to be trapped in the Pill Cauldron Sect. The enraged Yuan Changwu was about to unleash his fury on the Rogue Cultivators Association. He had other plans, and he absolutely could not linger in battle before Yuan Changwu came out.
Buzz!
Along with the roar came a black sword light, and a heavy pressure instantly swept over.
The cultivators in front were already stunned by the sound waves, and now the overwhelming sword formation left them powerless to resist.
The overwhelming pressure came like a landslide or a tsunami, and even though they were great cultivators, they were as insignificant as ants under the sword formation.
With a deafening roar, the sword formation soared through the air, piercing through the mountain below with Super Strength, and billowing dust mixed with the lingering sword energy rose from the ground.
The first wave of powerful cultivators who attacked were all reduced to ashes in the sword formation. After a flash of light, they did not turn back, but instead flew straight towards the outside of the mountain gate.
After pausing for a moment, the young man's figure vanished instantly along with the sword formation, and a straight path had been cleared through the winding mountain ahead.
Yuan Changwu's eyes flashed. Sensing the energy fluctuations, he changed direction in the main mountain. His black Daoist robe spread out in the air, and he unfolded his huge figure like a Luan Crane or crane. A hurricane swelled up under his ribs, and a black lightning bolt streaked across the sky.
The rumbling sounds echoed continuously within the South Si Dao Field. Normally, with Yuan Changhe in charge, the South Si Dao Field was quite peaceful, but today there was an indication of war within the mountain gate.
The incoming sword formation swept through the air with unstoppable force, and rows of powerful cultivators fell one after another in the sword formation. The young man looked into the distance and could already see the entrance to the Pill Cauldron Sect above his head, but a black lightning bolt followed closely behind.
This made him quite anxious. Yuan Changwu's speed was truly extreme. He should not linger in battle at this moment. After breaking through the ambush, he turned his sword formation and opened a passage through the mountain.
The sword formation roared forward, while a crimson streak of light flashed behind, leaving only a long trail in everyone's eyes.
After leaping out of the mountain gate, the sword formation in front of him suddenly swirled around and hugged the young man's side, but his figure did not stop at all.
He knew that Yuan Changwu was still in hot pursuit behind him, and he could not head towards the Trading Hub at this moment. With a thought, he rushed straight towards the direction of that beam of golden light.
"Well? Did you manage to keep the thief who broke into the mountain gate?"
Before Yuan Changwu, who was chasing from behind, even arrived, his voice had already reached the ears of the cultivators in front.
Upon hearing the words, the cultivators focused their attention and looked over. After their gaze lingered in the air for a moment, they saw a black lightning bolt grow larger as it approached from afar. Even after the black lightning stopped in the air, the sound in their ears had not completely dissipated.
Seeing Yuan Changwu transform into his true form and urgently pursue them, all the cultivators were surprised.
Since settling in Phoenix City, the Yuan Brothers have considered themselves descendants of Immortal Master Yuan, and as legitimate cultivators of Qi. Yuan Changhe, who is at the Earth Immortal Realm realm, has been completely free from demonic bodies for countless years.
This forced Second Master Yuan to reveal his true colors, proving that this villain is indeed a ruthless individual!
As Yuan Changwu swept through the air, he knew that the cultivators had failed to hold off the thief, who had already left the mountain gate. Should they continue the pursuit?
This question only lingered in Second Master Yuan's mind for a moment.
We must chase them! We absolutely must chase them!
The people in the Rogue Cultivators Association are really unruly!
How dare they bully me Yuan Changwu!
Thinking of the precious elixirs within the sect, and then of his own long-stalled path to immortality, the Rogue Cultivators Association was not only provoking the Pill Cauldron Sect, but also undermining Yuan Changwu's foundation!
"Pass on my order: all the senior cultivators in the sect, come with me to the North Division Dao Field. The Rogue Cultivators Association have gone too far; I, Yuan Changwu, will not tolerate this!"
Yuan Changwu twisted his face and roared at the assembled cultivators in the air.
His tone was filled with intense hatred, and everyone could tell from his words that Second Master Yuan had suffered a great injustice. Could it be that the blood-red light just now belonged to a cultivator from the Rogue Cultivators Association?
Seeing that everyone was still pondering, Yuan Changwu finished speaking and, without waiting for them to gather, took to the air and his figure flashed through the mountains again.
Yuan Changwu's gaze was fixed on the north, but a golden light flashed in his eyes. Upon seeing this golden light, Yuan Changwu's extreme anger subsided slightly.
After a moment's thought, the enormous figure veered slightly in the air, intending to bypass the City Lord's Manor in the middle and head towards the North Division Dao Field the Trading Hub center.
Meanwhile, a commotion arose in the South Si Dao Field behind them. After Yuan Changwu spoke, everyone now knew that Second Master Yuan was going to cause trouble for the North Division Dao Field.
The cultivators of the Pill Cauldron Sect often clashed with the members of the Rogue Cultivators Association, but with the City Lord's Manor suppressing them in Phoenix City, neither dared to be too presumptuous.
With Second Master Yuan backing them up, how could the cultivators possibly hold back? It was said that the Rogue Cultivators Association controlled the most spiritual veins in the Red Land, so the treasure trove of the North Division Dao Field must also contain countless Spirit Stone resources.
Knowing that the cultivators here would not be able to sit still, even with the City Lord's Manor suppressing them, since Second Master Yuan was leading the way to seek trouble, they might as well follow along and go and take advantage of the situation.
If the sky falls, the Yuan Brothers will hold it up; we'll just stick to the treasure trove of the North Division Dao Field.
As Yuan Changwu's figure was about to disappear, all the great cultivators of the Pill Cauldron Sect came out, and the crowd excitedly followed behind Second Master Yuan, creating a thunderous commotion along the way.
Several streaks of light rose from the South Si Dao Field, followed by a black lightning bolt, heading towards the North Division Dao Field through the Trading Hub. The crowd surged through the Trading Hub, completely disregarding the rules of Phoenix City.
Second Master Yuan, who was ahead, was extremely anxious. He wished he could go to the North Division Dao Field right now to get to the bottom of things, and he didn't even restrain the cultivators of the Pill Cauldron Sect.
The commotion grew louder and louder along the way, and the procession expanded, with countless people clamoring to challenge the North Division Dao Field.
There was no need for Second Master Yuan to organize their fighting spirit; the cultivators were already automatically filled with fighting power just by thinking about the treasure trove of the North Division Dao Field.
Second Master Yuan Er led the way, speeding through Phoenix City, while the cultivators behind him, along with the desperate outlaws from the Trading Hub, headed straight for the North Division Dao Field.
A dark mass of streaks of light stood out conspicuously in Phoenix City, and the commotion was particularly jarring. When had Phoenix City ever been in such a chaotic state!
Meanwhile, in the Trading Hub, most of the idle cultivators had been attracted by the figure of Second Master Yuan, and they all pretended to be cultivators of the Pill Cauldron Sect to follow Second Master Yuan to find trouble at the North Division Dao Field.
Inside a cave dwelling at the Trading Hub, Xu Long quietly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. The three Earth Immortal had already left the city, and now the three forces were each in their own power, with some friction between them. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xu Long's figure disappeared into the cave. After leaping out, he followed directly into the group of cultivators from the Pill Cauldron Sect.
Facing the dense crowd, Xu Long transformed into a streak of light and entered the noisy procession.
With everyone focused on Second Master Yuan's figure and thinking about the treasure trove of the North Division Dao Field, no one noticed that there seemed to be an extra person in the group.
Furthermore, after leaving the South Si Dao Field, the Pill Cauldron Sect's group gradually expanded. With Second Master Yuan leading the way, even the cultivators who were usually afraid of the North Division Dao Field were able to dispel their fear.
He kept shouting that he wanted justice, but his figure transformed into streaks of light, closely following behind Second Master Yuan.
Xu Long concealed himself in the crowd. He sensed that Phoenix City was indeed in some chaos, but the more chaotic the better. Without Earth Immortal guarding Phoenix City, his plan had only just begun!
Second Master Yuan led a large number of cultivators on their journey from the Trading Hub, and this chaotic situation could not be kept secret from the people of the City Lord's Manor.
Deng Shouchong sat cross-legged inside the main hall of the City Lord's Manor's mansion. Beside him were several shattered communication talismans, each containing a report of unusual events at the Trading Hub.
