Risking It All to Seize the Pill

"Uncle-Masters, how is it going? Haven't you been able to break the formation yet?" Shen Ge walked slowly towards Shangguan Ouyang and the others, asking with a light smile.

Upon seeing that it was Shen Ge, Shangguan Ouyang, though not dispelling the formation, still smiled and replied, "It's difficult. This kind of formation from tens of thousands of years ago seems quite different from modern formations. Junior Brother Wang hasn't found the pattern yet."

"Junior Nephew Shen, how was it? Did you gain anything?"

"It's alright, I got a bottle of pills, but there's one for the three of us, so I guess it'll only be one pill each."

Shen Ge looked at the pill in the room and asked with some curiosity, "Martial Uncle Ouyang, do you recognize that pill? What are its effects?"

Although Shen Ge had caused a ruckus at the Spirit Moon Sect before, these people still had a good impression of him. An elder from the Pill Hall explained, "This should be a sixth-grade Moon Spirit Pill. As for its effects, ancient books record that this pill can increase the cultivation level of the Spirit Severing Realm and at the same time cleanse the soul, making it easier to split the soul."

"I see." Shen Ge looked enlightened. "It seems that Senior Uncle Xuanguang can attempt to break through to the Spirit Severing Realm."

"Uncle-Master, could you help me see what this pill I obtained is for?" Shen Ge asked, taking out a pill that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance and had seven colors.

"This... seems to be Mystic Spirit Pill, a fourth-grade pill, which also increases cultivation and strengthens the body. However, it's a bit of a waste for you, Junior Nephew Shen. It depends on when you take it." The elder of the Pill Hall returned the pill to Shen Ge. Although he could keep the pill for himself according to the rules, he couldn't do something like taking it from a junior in front of his fellow disciples.

"Junior Nephew Shen, you've probably had enough of your time these past few years of relaxation. When are you going to return to the sect? You know, your disciple misses you terribly and has even neglected his cultivation."

The speaker was Elder Qingshuang of Azure Jade Peak, named Li Qingshuang. At this moment, she looked at Shen Ge with a resentful expression, as if blaming him for not letting Su Sui become her disciple back then.

"Uncle-Master Qing Shuang, I have to say a few words to you about this. Although Su Sui isn't your disciple, nor is she a disciple of Azure Jade Peak, you are still Su Sui's senior uncle. She's been neglecting her cultivation, so you should have taught her a lesson."

"You rascal, you don't even care about your own apprentice, but you dump her on me. How am I supposed to manage her? If I say anything too harsh, I might offend her." Qing Shuang said with a light laugh, "So, you'd better go back early, don't let your promising apprentice be wasted."

Shen Ge glanced at his Martial Uncle Wang, who was breaking the formation, and saw that his aura was surging, as if he had found a way to break it. He stepped forward to Shangguan Ouyang's side and asked, "Martial Uncle Ouyang, can I ask you something? What has Master been doing lately?"

You mean Qingyu Sister Qingyu...?

At this moment, Martial Uncle Wang pointed out, and the formation was finally broken.

Shen Ge vanished instantly, and a sword flew out, heading straight for the pill.

"You little brat, how dare you!" Elder Azure Jade Peak immediately shouted, and at the same time, he made a move to stop Shen Ge. He had been watching Shen Ge the whole time and had guessed that he would do this.

Shen Ge recognized this person; his name was Yang Feng. He had a good personal relationship with Zhang Sheng, and Shen Ge Feng had even planned to help Zhang Sheng when they fought, but he was scared off by his master Mo Qingyu.

Seeing that his attack was thwarted, and that his Martial Uncle Wang was about to take the pill, Shen Ge snorted coldly and no longer held back. He activated the array that had been hidden on his body, and in an instant, countless Sword Qi rushed towards the seven people, catching them off guard.

"Shen Ge, how dare you attack us! Are you planning to completely betray the Spirit Moon Sect?!" Shangguan Ouyang forcefully charged towards Shen Ge, enduring the Sword Qi, and shouted, "Junior Brother Wang, quickly put away the pills! We must not allow them to be damaged in the slightest!"

Seeing that the elixir was about to be obtained, those outside who already harbored ill intentions could no longer sit still. Now that Shen Ge had taken the lead, their greed had been completely ignited. They didn't care about the Spirit Moon Sect's pursuit; to hell with it, they just wanted to seize that peerless elixir first.

Countless attacks came crashing down on the formation of Shangguan Ouyang and his group of seven. The ferocious attacks caused all seven of them to tremble, and one of the elders, who was only at the Middle Golden Core Stage, even coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Martial Uncle Wang was also affected and missed the best opportunity to collect the pills.

Shen Ge seized the opportunity and charged towards Martial Uncle Wang with rolling sword light, alternating between black and white, as if to tear him to pieces.

"Shen Ge, you've gone mad! You actually want to slaughter your fellow disciples and elders!" Martial Uncle Wang looked at the black and white sword light that was already in front of him and was extremely violent. A trace of fear flashed across his face. Although he had a way to stop the sword light, there was too little time and he could not use it.

Moreover, with his Middle Golden Core Stage strength, he didn't dare to directly confront this terrifying sword light.

At this moment, if he still intended to collect the pills, he would definitely be severely injured or even killed by the sword light. Without even thinking, he used his escape technique to flee from here.

What are peerless divine pills, what is adding a Spirit Severing Realm expert to the sect? None of them matter when it comes to my own life!

Shen Ge sneered and, without pausing, unleashed countless sword lights that sliced the pill into countless fragments.

The moment the pill shattered, Yang Feng roared, "You little beast, you deserve to die!"

After saying that, he attacked even more violently, clearly intending to kill Shen Ge.

Shangguan Ouyang's face was equally dark. After letting out a cold snort, his attack became increasingly ferocious.

After taking the three largest fragments, Shen Ge grabbed the rest and roared, "Fellow Daoists, these are all yours! If you want them, stop them and let me out!"

As they were speaking, Shen Ge was caught off guard and several attacks struck him, leaving not only horrific wounds but also slamming him into the ground and creating a large crater.

Those outside the formation were already excited by Shen Ge's words, and now that they saw that Shen Ge might not be able to send out the pills, they immediately became anxious and launched their strongest offensive.

Faced with the wrath of nearly twenty Golden Core experts, Shangguan Ouyang and his group of seven had no choice but to temporarily retreat and join forces to resist, after all, one wrong move and they could all die here.

In the crowd, Qianyuan, looking rather sly, hid in a corner. He took out a talisman, muttered a few words, and then threw it towards the formation formed by Shangguan Ouyang other seven.

When the talisman came into contact with the array, it did not explode; it simply dissolved silently, leaving a small hole just wide enough for a shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist, now is the time!" Qianyuan shouted after changing his voice. After saying that, he immediately disappeared from the spot and ran to another place.

Although Shen Ge was seriously injured, he was always looking for an opportunity to escape. The moment the small hole appeared, he immediately turned into a Qingfeng and disappeared from the spot.
