Chapter 1491 Don’t Want To Live Anymore
They looked at each other and mutually agreed, then they moved inside quickly. They wanted to find out what had happened, and if Junior Sister’s disappearance had anything to do with Master. Eldest Senior Brother was so nervous, could it be that he knew something?
Duan Mubai who had gone inside first and arrived in front of the bamboo house searched all around, and he could find no one. Therefore paused and pondered. He thought that they might be in the cave dwelling where Master used for alchemy, hence, he went in that direction.
However, when he approached the cave dwelling, he found that where it once had no boundary barriers, there were now many boundary barriers set up around it. He bypassed several boundary barriers and came to the entrance of the cave dwelling. However, he found that he was not able to go any further as the boundary barrier that was in front of the entrance was set up by a Celestial Strong Exponent and wasn’t something that he could easily break through.
Upon seeing this, he shouted: “Master! Master! It’s Disciple Mubai, I have an important matter to report to you! Master! I have an important matter to report to you!”
Master Third Sun who was preparing spirit herbs inside the cave dwelling and had just placed all the spirit herbs he needed out on the table when he heard the noise coming from outside. When he heard the voice, his face suddenly changed.
He had already ordered that he should not be disturbed and yet he still entered the Peak at this time. Why did the two Nascent Soul cultivators who were supposed to be guarding the entrance to the Peak let him in?
“Master, Master, Disciple Mubai has an important matter to report!”
When he heard the loud voice coming in from outside, his face was sullen as he shouted: “How dare you! Didn’t I give orders that I am not to be disturbed? Do my orders mean nothing to you?”
“Master, Junior Sister is missing. I saw traces of fighting and blood outside the Sect but no sign of Junior Sister, Master....”
“Nonsense! Your Junior Sister has gone down the mountain to practice, how can she disappear? You don’t need to worry about her, with her strength and wit, nothing will happen to her.”
Master Third Sun said in a calm voice and glanced at the unconscious Shangguan Wanrong, whose hands and feet were bound.
No one would be able to find her in here.
“Master, please come out to see your disciple, I have something to ask you face to face.” Duan Mubai said once again, in his heart he was more and more sure that Shangguan Wanrong was inside Master’s cave dwelling.
“Whatever you have to say you can wait till I come out of seclusion! Go back immediately!”
Upon hearing this, he felt anxious, and asked immediately: “Master, is Junior Sister inside the cave dwelling?”
“How dare you! Duan Mubai, you have some nerve!” Master Third Sun’s face was livid and his voice trembled with anger. At that moment, he couldn’t tolerate it any longer and stepped outside.
“Do you know what you are saying? Go back immediately! Otherwise I will kick you out of the Sect today!” Master Third Sun who had walked out of the cave dwelling stared at Duan Mubai with anger in his eyes and a hint of murder intent rose in his heart.
He was going to refine a life prolonging elixir, whoever dared hinder him would have him to deal with! He would not let anyone off easily if they got in his way!
If they dared stop him from living, he would kill them! Even if he was his disciple! No life was more important than his life!
When he saw him come outside, Duan Mubai was heartbroken. He knelt down immediately and said: “Master, Junior Sister is your disciple, please let her go! Master’s prestige and reputation should not be destroyed here today, and it should not be destroyed like this!”
Master Third Sun’s eyes were somber: “Duan Mubai, every word out of your mouth is accusatory to your Master. This is treason, I reckon you don’t want to live anymore!”
Chapter 1492 Do You Want To Violate The Order Of Your Master Too?
“Master! Don’t make another mistake.....ughh! Puff!”
Before he could finish speaking, he was struck by a blow to his chest by Master Third Sun who had raised his hand and sent the blow. He groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. He looked at his Master in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that his Master was the one who had hurt him.
In his heart, his Master was like a father to him. But now, the Master whom he had always respected had just hurt him....
“This is your punishment for not following your Master’s orders! Get out of here immediately!” Master Third Sun glared at him with a somber face, his sharp eyes bored into him.
Duan Mubai wiped the blood from his mouth and remained kneeling on the ground. He raised his head and looked at his Master who was still standing behind the boundary barrier and threw his head forwards: “Master, I beg of you, please let Junior Sister go, Master, I beg of you, please let Junior Sister go....”
Upon hearing these words, Master Third Sun was furious. When he saw his other disciples arriving, he immediately raised his hand and condensed his spiritual energy and slammed his hand forwards once again.
The spiritual energy in his hand had turned into a fierce air current that slammed into Duan Mubai and threw him several meters away.
“Eldest Senior Brother!”
When the rest of them who had hurried over saw what had happened, they couldn’t help but exclaimed and quickly stepped forwards to help him up. However, when they saw Duan Mubai’s mouth filled with blood and his face pale as paper, they were shocked and quickly took a pill out for him to take.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, hang on!”
Oh my God!
Why did Master hit him so hard? Was he trying to kill Eldest Senior Brother?
“Cough cough....puff!” Duan Mubai coughed slightly and felt the blood gush out fiercely from his throat once again. He opened his mouth and tried to say something. However, as he was injured too seriously, his hand dropped down lifelessly and his eyes slowly closed as he passed out.
“Eldest Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother!”
They were shocked and shouted loudly but there was no response from him at all. The Second Senior Brother took the pulse of Duan Mubai and said to the others: “Eldest Senior Brother has only fainted, however, his internal organs are injured and he must be taken back for treatment soon.”
“Then let’s take Eldest Senior Brother back for treatment!” The Third and Fourth alchemists said. They helped him up and looked back at their Master behind the boundary barrier, perplexed.
They watched Master struck Eldest Senior Brother mercilessly. It was a blow from a Celestial Strong Exponent, yet Eldest Senior Brother didn’t avoid the blow. Did Master want to kill Eldest Senior Brother?
What had happened that made Master strike such a heavy hand?
“You two take Eldest Senior Brother back for treatment first. I will be along shortly.” The Second Senior Brother said and motioned for them to leave first.
“All right, be careful Second Senior Brother.”
The two of them said in lowered voices. After all, if Master could treat Eldest Senior Brother in such a manner, who knew what he would do to Second Senior Brother? When they thought of this, they felt uneasy in their hearts. What on earth was going on? Why did Junior Sister’s disappearance feel so messed up?
“Hey, do you think I am like Eldest Senior Brother? At the first sign of trouble I will run. Don’t worry!” Ruan Changchun grinned. Although he was ranked second, his brain was definitely not so.
After he watched them leave, he adjusted his expression then stepped forward sullen-faced and came to the front of the boundary barrier. He stopped and bowed to his Master: “Disciple Changchun pays his respects to Master.”
“Do you want to violate the order of your Master too?” Master Third Sun stared at Ruan Changchun coldly.
Chapter 1493 I Am Willing To Serve
Ruan Changchun grinned and waved his hands: “No, no, no, Master you are mistaken. I just wanted to know if Master needs an assistant while practising alchemy in your cave. Disciple can help.”
He paused and then grinned: “Master, you understand Changchun the best. Changchun has never disobeyed an order from Master, am I right? Although Eldest Senior Brother said that Master has captured Junior Sister and wants to kill Junior Sister, but I think that it must all be Eldest Senior Brother’s imagination.”
As he spoke, he observed his expression. When he mentioned that he had captured Junior Sister and wanted to kill her, there was a strange colour in his eyes. His heart sank.
Was it really Master’s doing? Was it because Eldest Senior Brother had known about this matter, that was why Master laid such a heavy hand on him?
The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became. He felt shock and disbelief, yet the expression on his face was still a smile, a heartless look.
“No need, you may leave! Look after your Senior Brother and don’t disturb my refinement.” Master Third Sun’s voice eased a little. He took a deep look at Ruan Changchun and said: “As long as I am successful in refining this pill, I will definitely reward you.”
“Yes, thank you Master.”
There was a look of surprise on his face as he quickly thanked him and left. Just after he had turned, his smile narrowed and the expression on his face turned somber.
Feng Jiu had observed everything quietly in a hiding place. Her eyes moved slightly and she wondered to herself: How will she save her? When will she save her? After she saved her, how will they leave? She had to think about it carefully. What she was sure of was that now was not the right time to strike.
In order to avoid being discovered, she had to continue to lurk in the shadows while she waited for the best time to make her move.
Master Third Sun was a Celestial Strong Exponent and she only had a Nascent Soul cultivation base. Although the difference in cultivation was only one level, however, Master Third Sun didn’t major in combat power so she had some chance of winning in terms of fighting.
However, the question is how would she send her mother out of here safely once she had rescued her? The Sect was bound to be alerted if she fought against Master Third Sun, so if the entire Sect was besieging her, how could she safely rescue her mother?
It was impossible to expose Master Third Sun’s false front to everyone. If the Sect knew, they would never allow the news of Master Third Sun’s murderous behavior to spread, they would only help hide the facts.
If the scandal were to be exposed, it wouldn’t be good and would affect their Sect. Moreover, this was just the basis of the strongest surviving in the world of cultivating immortals. It happened everywhere in the world. Who never had the blood of innocent people on their hands?
They would only look at the benefits of it, so she couldn’t expect the people in the Sect to come forward to deal with the matter.
On the other side, Ruan Changchun headed towards his Eldest Senior Brother’s cave dwelling on the Eighth Peak and saw many people surrounding the cave dwelling. They must have heard of his injuries. His disciples had rushed over but they were unable to enter the cave dwelling.
Luo Heng was also amongst the many disciples and he was at a loss as were the others about the sudden injury of their Master. Everyone was discussing and trying to figure out what was going on. In the entire Third Sun Peak, the only person who could hurt their Master and the only person who had the ability to hurt their Master was their Master Third Sun. But, was this possible?
Chapter 1494 What Shall We Do
“What are you all doing crowding around here?” He shouted sullenly and glanced at everyone.
“Martial Uncle Ruan, we heard that our Master is injured? Is it serious?” Luo Heng asked, looking at Ruan Changchun who was walking with his hands behind his back.
Ruan Changchun glanced at him and said: “Your Master is fine. Get back to your jobs and stop hanging around here.”
“Martial Uncle Ruan, we would like to see our Master and look in on his injuries.” A disciple said boldly.
Ruan Changchun glanced at him and said: “What’s there to look at? If he wants to see any of you, he would have called for you. Since he hasn’t asked for any of you, then you should go back.” After pausing for a while, he shouted again: “Why haven’t you left? Why are you still standing here in a daze?”
Everyone glanced at each other but didn’t say anything, and finally, one by one, they left.
Luo Heng glanced at Ruan Changchun with some doubts, and then he glanced at his Master’s cave dwelling once. He found it odd but he couldn’t quite figure out what it was that wasn’t right, therefore, he could only leave with the others.
Ruan Changchun only entered the cave dwelling once everyone had left. When he saw that Duan Mubai was still unconscious, he asked: “How is Eldest Senior Brother?”
“His injuries are quite serious. Luckily he’s already taken the pill to heal his internal injuries. However, the doctor said earlier that he will only regain consciousness one to two days later. Also, once he has regained consciousness, he can’t use his spiritual energy for one month. If he doesn’t take good care of himself while he is recovering, it will cause problems in the future.”
The Third-ranked alchemist sighed softly and said: “Second Senior Brother, why do you think Master did this? This is Eldest Senior Brother! How could he lay such a heavy hand on him?”
Ruan Changchun waved his hand: “Enough, don’t discuss this matter anymore for the time being. Let’s just wait for Eldest Senior Brother to wake up first!” He pondered for a while, then said to the two of them: “There is one things however, that I want to discuss with the both of you.”
The two of them looked at each other and asked: “Is it about Junior Sister?”
Ruan Changchun glanced at them and nodded: “Yes, that’s right. I’m sure that the two of you have guessed by now that something is going on. This matter is indeed unusual, and in any place there would also be matters that are disreputable. However, the matter at hand implicates us and Junior Sister. So I want to know what your thoughts are on this matter.”
“Second Senior Brother, just speak your mind, we are all ears.” The two of them said in unison.
“Okay, so this is my plan. If it were down to us, we would definitely not be able to enter Master’s alchemy cave. However, other than us, no one else in Third Sun Peak is able to intervene in this matter. So my suggestion is that we go to the other Peaks since we are on familiar terms with their disciples, we will....”
He told the two of them his plan to go to the other Peaks to chat with the disciples there and while doing so, tell them of the news accidentally. He believed that once they heard of the news, they would report it to their Masters. That way, they would go and investigate the matter without them instigating them to.
Now that the power of each Peak was even, and the strength of the Peak Masters were around the same, once they learnt that one of their peers was about to refine a Heaven-defying pill, they wouldn’t be able to sit still.
“Alright, we will go and get it done now.” The two of them left after hearing what he had to say.
After Ruan Changchun watched them leave, he came outside to get a drink of water. After thinking upon it for a while, he felt anxious and also left. He felt that he also needed to make a trip in order to get it done quickly.
Chapter 1495 Let Master Tell You
In the evening, after the disciples in every peak had reported the news to their Masters, the Masters of each Peak were secretly surprised.
“Really? That Master Third Sun has really gone into seclusion to refine a Heaven-defying pill?” One of the Peak Masters stared at his disciple and asked.
“Yes Master, I heard it from the lips of Junior Brother Ruan himself.” The middle aged man replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the Peak Master frowned: “If it’s really true, then why did he tell you? There’s something strange about this matter.”
“Master, he had only come to have a chat with me and drink some wine. His Eldest Senior Brother had clashed with their Master because of this matter and was seriously injured as a result. He is still lying in his cave dwelling unconscious at the moment. Junior Brother Ruan was not in a good mood because of this matter, that’s why he came to look for me to have a drink with him. He only let slip after a few drinks.”
That disciple continued speaking: “Disciple felt that this matter is of great importance, hence I immediately came to report it to you after I arranged for someone to send Junior Brother Ruan back. If there really is a Heaven-defying pill, then Third Sun Peak’s reputation will surely surpass ours. Disciple felt that no matter what, I still had to report this matter to you Master and let you decide what to do.”
After listening to this, the Peak Master stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said: “Even if this matter is true, what reason do we have for preventing it from happening? If the Sect Master was to find out, I’m afraid....”
“Master, Third Sun Peak is known to the outside world as being the top of all the Peaks within the Sect. If we were to allow Master Third Sun to refine the Heaven-defying pill, I’m afraid that when all the other Masters see him, they would have to lower your heads and bow to him. It doesn’t matter if disciple is ridiculed, but disciple is really unwilling to hear people on the outside about the other Peak as if they can’t compare to Third Sun Peak.”
When he heard this, the Peak Master’s face sank, and as he was stroking his beard, his hand fell suddenly and tugged his beard causing him to cry out in pain.
He glanced at his disciple in embarrassment and thought about it, then said: “If this matter is really true, then, come here.” He gestured for him to come closer and whispered a few instructions to him, then gestured with his hand: “Go now!”
“Yes, disciple will go and get it done immediately.” The disciple beamed with joy and hurried outside.
At this moment, Shangguan Wanrong who was unconscious in the cave dwelling in the Ninth Peak awoke upon smelling some pungent medicine. When opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Master Third Sun walking towards her with a whip dipped in liquid medicine.
“You’re awake? It’s just as well.”
Master Third Sun stopped about three steps away from her with the whip in his hand and looked at her: “Wanrong, you can’t really blame Teacher. If it wasn’t for me, you would still be trapped in that Shangguan House, am I right?”
“Don’t worry, I will make sure you play your role to your greatest potential. I won’t let you come onto this earth for nothing. No one knows that you are in here with me, so you will still maintain a dignified identity as I, Master Third Sun’s core disciple.”
“Spit!”
Shangguan Wanrong looked at him coldly: “Hypocrite! You’re not even comparable to a beast! You have no right to call yourself a Master!”
“Haha, it’s okay. You can scold me all you want! Very soon, you won’t be able to scold me anymore.” Master Third Sun smiled carelessly and shook the whip with his hand: “Do you know what this is? I have been soaking this whip in liquid medicine from the moment I took you in as my disciple. Do you know what it’s for?”
“I bet you don’t know. It’s okay, let me tell you. I will definitely tell you and not let you endure this without knowing why.”
Chapter 1496 Medicated Whip
“Your spirit-gathering body is a mobile storage of spiritual power. For me, it is the best choice to use as a human furnace. Do you know why I insisted that you cultivate and advance to the Nascent Soul stage? It’s because the cohesion of your Nascent Soul energy when you first advance is the best drug for a human furnace, a drug that can help your Master, I, live long and well.”
He stared at her with a slightly crazed expression and said: “Actually, you should be thankful, thankful that you have been chosen by me. Not everyone is so lucky to have this kind of opportunity. Don’t worry, after you die, I will take good care of your family clan. I’m sure they will be very happy and willing to sacrifice your life for the prosperity of the entire clan.”
“Mad man!”
Shangguan Wanrong stared at him as she spat out those two words. Yes, he was crazy. In her eyes, he had already gone mad. He only thought of his survival and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice other people’s lives in the process because in his eyes, no one’s life was as important as his.
He was afraid of death. Therefore, he tried every means possible to find ways for him to prolong his life. He had even forgotten that he was an alchemist, a well-respected Master, he had lost his morals.
He only wanted to live, and only him. Such a person could only be a lunatic.
“Swish!”
“Snap!”
The whip that was soaked in liquid medicine was unleashed shortly after she had called him a mad man. The whip flitted through the air and brought with it a sharp current which slapped her body so hard that she couldn’t help but scream.
“Ahhhh!”
The whip fell directly over her shoulder onto her white dress. Her white dress was torn apart from the whip’s blow and scarlet blood had seeped into her clothes, causing fear to rise in her heart.
A strong medicinal scent was swept across the air with the whip, especially the whip that had landed on Shangguan Wanrong’s body. The medicated liquid seemed to have seeped into her skin through the skin and flesh of her wound.
“Sss! Ahhhhhh!”
Her wound was painful and was accompanied by a scorching sensation. Although it was only a whio, she could tell that something was wrong.
“How do you feel? The medicine is not bad isn’t it? This is a medical primer to mobilise the drugs in your body. I assume you don’t know that I have placed drugs within your body and sealed it in your arm? The effects of the drugs have not been mobile, and with your ability, you wouldn’t be aware of the problem.”
Master Third Sun smiled and whipped her body repeatedly with the medicated whip. He stared at Shangguan Wanrong confidently and said: “It’s not just you, even your Eldest Senior Brother Mubai didn’t notice anything different.”
“Swish!”
“Snap!”
“Ah!”
Shangguan Wanrong screamed once again. The pain from her wound being penetrated by the whip repeatedly was unbearable. Blood oozed out as her skin and flesh was ripped open. The liquid medicine from the whip had seeped into her skin and flesh and the hot burning sensation was like a hot soldering iron pressing onto her skin.
The pain equivalent to the cutting of her flesh made it unbearable for her and her face turned pale. She seemed to have lost her strength and her body dangled weakly as the chains that bound her hands tugged on them.
Chapter 1497 Went Up To Third Sun Peak Personally
When the black iron shackles twitched and made a clunking sound, Master Third Sun looked at her pale and sweaty face and said: “Wanrong, you must hold on. This is an unavoidable process. I don’t want to do this to you, but the medicine is only useful if it is used this way, it can only penetrate your body this way. Every strike of the whip will make you wish you were dead, and the burning sensation is the effect of the medicine. You must hold on. You are the chosen human furnace for me. All my hopes are pinned on you.”While he spoke, he pinched her lips together to open her mouth and forced a pill into her mouth. At the same time, the whip in his hand twitched again and the sound of her screams was accompanied by the sound of the whip on her body. Her screams would make one’s heart tremble, but it could only be heard within the walls of the cave. On the outside, it was completely inaudible.
In the evening, after the sky darkened, the few Peak Masters couldn’t help themselves and went up to Third Sun Peak personally to investigate. However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the entrance of the Ninth Peak, they were stopped by the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
“The Peak Master has ordered that he is not to be disturbed while he is practicing alchemy.”
The two of them said and looked at the few Peak Masters with vigilance. These people had come here for no reason. Could they have been entrusted by the Peak Master’s disciples? What were they trying to do? Have they come to cause trouble again?
“We have something to discuss with your Peak Master. Step down. He won’t blame you.” One of the Peak Masters waved his hand and said.
“But...” The two Nascent Soul cultivators frowned hesitantly.
“No buts, we will bear all responsibility.” Another Peak Master said and strode forward. At this moment, Ruan Changchun’s voice came from behind.
“Hey? Peak Masters? Why are you here? Are you here to see my Master? But our Master is refining pills and won’t see anyone.”
Ruan Changchun stepped forward vigilantly and smiled at them: “Please, go back! Don’t disturb my Master practicing alchemy.”
One of the Peak Masters looked at Ruan Changchun and raised his eyebrows; “Aren’t you supposed to be drunk? Why are you so sober now?”
“Hehe, my two Junior Brothers gave me alcohol-relieving pills. As soon as I heard that Peak Masters were coming I had to come and take a look for myself. Our Master has given orders that he will not see anyone.” He smiled awkwardly and blocked their path.
“Really? But we have extremely important matters we need to discuss with your Master. We really need to see him.”
Where there were doubts in their hearts initially, now that they have seen the panic in Ruan Changchun’s eyes and his obstructing them, they were more and more certain that it was true that Master Third Sun was refining a Heaven-defying pill.
The few Peak Masters looked at each other immediately and strode inside.
“Hey, Peak Masters, Peak Masters, don’t be like this!” Ruan Changchun shouted but followed behind them. When he saw them going into the bamboo house, he said: “My Master is practicing alchemy in the cave dwelling over there, he really can’t be disturbed.”
When they heard this, one of the Peak Master’s eyes moved slightly and glanced back at him with thoughtful eyes.
“So he’s in the cave dwelling! It seems that it must really be an incredible pill. Master Third Sun usually refines pills in the bamboo house. He only goes into the alchemy cave when it’s an extremely important pill. I’m really curious, what Heaven-defying pill is he refining?”
Chapter 1498 Torture?
When the others heard his words, they fell silent. That’s right, Master Third Sun usually refined pills in the bamboo house. He only went into the cave dwelling when he used higher quality elixir herbs and didn’t want to be disturbed. That said, this pill must be very important to Master Third Sun.
This notion was in all their heads. By the time they had arrived at the entrance of the cave dwelling, they saw that there were multiple boundary barriers surrounding it, and right in front of the entrance to the cave had another layer of enchantment.
After glancing at everyone else, one of them shouted: “Brother Third Sun, Brother Third Sun?”
Inside the cave dwelling, Master Third Sun was tired from whipping and was about to prepare the next stage of medicine. He had walked out of the alchemy room to get something and was just about to go back inside when he heard a voice coming from outside. He frowned involuntarily.
“Brother Third Sun? Brother Third Sun?” Another person shouted.
At this point, when the people outside noticed that there was no sound coming from inside the cave dwelling, they couldn’t help but look at each other. Just at this moment, Ruan Changchun rushed up to the front: “Master, Master, the Peak Masters forced their way into Third Sun Peak insisting they have something to ask you. If Master doesn’t come out, they will break through the barriers!”
When the Peak Masters heard this, they glanced at him in surprise. They hadn’t said anything about breaking through the barriers! After all, they had already overstepped their boundaries by forcing their way into Master Third Sun’s territory, how would they dare to break through the barriers?
However, as soon as Ruan Changchun had finished speaking, Master Third Sun could be seen storming out angrily.
“What are you all doing here? You’re disturbing my alchemy session, could it be that you are all up to something?” Master Third Sun was extremely angry that he had been interrupted so many times, and at the moment, his anger rose even more as he was unable to suppress it.
After being questioned in this manner, the expressions on the Peak Masters’ faces were a little embarrassed. After all, what they were doing at this moment was indeed a little beneath their statuses.
One of them coughed slightly and said: “You see, we heard that Brother Third Sun is refining a Heaven-defying pill so we have come over to see if you need any help. Brother Third Sun knows that we cannot compare to you in terms of alchemy so we want to use this opportunity to learn something from you.”
“Hmph!”
Master Third Sun snorted heavily and said: “You are all alchemists, don’t you know that the pet peeve of alchemists is to be disturbed during an alchemy session? Leave now! Otherwise, once I have finished refining my pill, I will lodge a complaint to the Sect Master and ask him to uphold justice!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Peak Masters stiffened. They hadn’t expected to be rejected so swiftly. They couldn’t help but look at each other. Then suddenly, one of the alchemists looked startled as he noticed the whip in Master Third Sun’s hand and stared at it with a strange expression.
“Brother Third Sun, why do you need a whip to refine pills? Why does your whip appear to be soaked in liquid medicine?”
After that Peak Master had spoken, the other Peak Masters also noticed that Master Third Sun had a whip in his hand. The whip was soaked in liquid medicine, that was why they could smell such a strong scent of medicine. They hadn’t noticed as they thought that it was coming from inside the alchemy cave dwelling. However, they were unable to ignore the situation in front of them. What was going on?
If he was refining pills, why did he need a whip? What on earth was he refining?
Ruan Changchun lowered his head to hide his red rimmed eyes, his hands beneath his sleeves were twisted tightly into fists. He had already noticed the whip when his Master had first come out. That whip was soaked in liquid medicine and there were also traces of blood on it....
Master, was he torturing Junior Sister?
Chapter 1499 On Fire?
When he heard their words, only then did the fuming Master Third Sun realise that he had been so angered by their interruption that he had stormed out without putting down the whip. Under their suspicious and inquiring eyes, his heart stopped for a moment.
He said calmly: “Haven’t I already told you that I am refining pills? I was just about to take the blood of a spirit beast to add to my mixture when I was interrupted by you.”
“We can understand taking blood from a spirit beast. But why do you need a whip for that?” One of them asked suspiciously.
They too had used spirit blood as an ingredient in the past as some pills do indeed require spirit blood. However, isn’t a knife used instead? Why was he using a whip? And a one that had been soaked in medicine liquid as well? What kind of pill was he refining? Why were the ingredients he used so strange?
When he heard this, Master Third Sun’s eyes sank and he replied with a stern face: “Every alchemist has their own techniques and I have my own. Naturally my technique would be different from yours. What’s so strange about that? It’s getting late, you should all get going! If you continue to disturb my alchemy session, I will definitely report it to the Sect Master! At that point, don’t blame me for disregarding our Sect family relationship!”
Upon hearing this, they hesitated a little. After all that had been said, it seemed that they didn’t have any more reason to dig deeper. Although they had already come all this way and yet they couldn’t enter, nor were they able to find out more information, it left them feeling somewhat unresigned.
They looked at the cave dwelling, it was right there, were they really going to leave just like that? If they could go inside to see what kind of elixir herbs he was preparing, maybe they would be able to figure out what kind of pill he was refining.
As they thought about it, they suddenly heard panic and chaotic sounds. It didn’t come from just one place but from the entire Sect. It was as if something big had happened that threw the entire Sect into chaos.
They looked back abruptly only to see smoke and fire in the sky that accompanied the exclamations spreading out into the air...
“Oh no, oh no, it’s on fire, it’s on fire, hurry, put out the fire! Put out the fire....”
“Come quickly! Put out the fire, put out the fire...”
The expressions of the few men changed: “What’s happened? Did I hear that something is on fire?”
At this moment, several disciples ran over in a hurry, their faces full of panic: “Oh no, all the peaks are on fire! The fire has spread from the back mountain and has now reached several mountain tops. Several places within the Sect are on fire. Master, come back to take a look!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Peak Masters changed drastically and they asked immediately: “How did it catch fire? Where did the fire start?”
“The fire seems to have originated from the kitchen and had spread out of control. Some of the spirit beasts in the kitchen caught on fire and ran out causing the fire to spread throughout the Sect. All the disciples within the Sect are now helping to put out the fire. Peak Master, the place where our peak is on fire is the Spirit Herb Storeroom, we have to get back now!”
Everyone was shocked, their eyes showed disbelief and shock, and they didn’t dare to stay a moment longer, nor did they have any more interest in trying to find out what pill Master Third Sun was trying to refine. They had to leave immediately to get back to the Peak and help put out the fire.
Ruan Changchun felt surprised deep down. Fire? How could their Sect catch fire? This was something that had never happened in years. When one place caught fire, the entire Sect caught fire too? That wasn’t normal.
He felt that something was odd about the whole matter and though he felt uneasy about it, he didn’t dare to say anything. At this moment, he heard his Master’s voice.
Chapter 1500 Heinous Killing Intent
“Changchun, why are you standing there in a daze for? Why aren’t you going to check if our Peak is on fire?”
Master Third Sun stared at him with a solemn face as he spoke, his heart on fire. If it weren’t because he couldn’t leave here without worrying, he would have stepped outside of the enchantment to go and take a look for himself.
Why would there be a fire out of the blue? And the fire was so big that it had spread to the mountain tops? If the other Peaks had also caught fire, would their Third Sun Peak catch fire too?
“Yes, disciple will go at once.” He replied. Though his eyes remained fixed on the whip in his hand, and he stood at the same spot, unable to move.
When he saw him staring at the whip in his hand, Master Third Sun frowned and shouted in a deep voice: “Why are you still here?”
Ruan Changchun closed his eyes and walked away. Each step he took was getting harder and heavier.
Feng Jiu who was lurking in the shadows watched Master Third Sun take a look at his surroundings before he went back into the cave dwelling. At that moment, she was staring at his back, her eyes scarlet with killing intent. That whip, that whip!
Her hands had twisted tightly into fists and her joints creaked from anger and killing intent. Although her aura from her body was gathered, she was unable to conceal her killing intent and it let out that moment.
“Master, I’m back.” Cloud Devouring jumped up and came to her side. When he saw her body was full of killing intent, he couldn’t help but look at the cave.
There, he saw Master Third Sun’s figure walking back into the cave.
“Stay here and stand guard, I will go inside.” She said slowly, halting at every word as she tried to restrain her killing intent.
“Yes, be careful Master.” Cloud Devouring looked at her and replied.
Feng Jiu didn’t speak anymore but leapt up on her toes and walked towards the boundary barriers step by step.
When she came to the boundary barrier, she stretched her hand out to explore it. An aura of spiritual power surged in her palm, and an enchantment that was invisible initially had now turned into a halo of airflow. At this moment, she used both hands and condensed the spiritual power then threw it into the blaze. The entire boundary barrier was broken with a loud bang.
The airflow of the Celestial Strong Exponent dissipated into the air following the breaking of the barrier. The loud bang had alarmed Master Third Sun who was inside the cave dwelling. As for the other people on Third Sun Peak, they hadn’t noticed any of the commotion on the Ninth Peak.
They were called back to help put out the fire and check if their Peaks were on fire. The entire Sect was reverberating with loud noises no one had noticed the noises here.
Almost at the same moment Feng Jiu had broken the boundary barrier, she stepped inside. When she smelt the strong medicine coming from inside the cave dwelling, along with the scent of blood, the killing intent and coercion of her body was released at this moment.
Since she had chosen to make a move, then at this moment, she no longer needed to hide anything else! Master Third Sun dared to lay a hand on her mother, he dared to hurt her, she would not let him off so easily!
Master Third Sun noticed it the moment the boundary barrier was broken. Just as he had turned around to walk back outside, before he saw anyone walk in from outside, he felt an overwhelming bloodthirsty killing aura swarming in from outside. The killing intent was cold and he felt the chill to his bones, as cold as a thousand year breeze. Although he was startled, he was also immediately vigilant.
“Who is it? Come Out!”
His eyes were somber and he gripped the whip in his hand tightly. A whip soaked in liquid medicine was sometimes even better than a sword.
