A stone stirred a thousand waves. As the words of Hun Xu Zi fell, the square that had been boiling with excitement due to the emergence of the Ninth Rank Profound Pill immediately fell silent. The faces of all the Elders of the Medicine Clan darkened in an instant, and their eyes flickered with cold light. The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, each of the ancient eight clans held one, and every clan treated it as a precious treasure, carefully kept under lock and key, out of sight even for ordinary elders. For those who were unaware, it would be fine, but for those in the know, their gazes at Hun Xu Zi were like looking at a madman. How could such a precious treasure possibly be lent to him?! Had he lost his mind out of anger?
“This fellow…” Xiao Yan’s eyebrows also tightened as he looked at Hun Xu Zi. The strange smile on the latter’s face made him slightly uneasy. To say such things here was undoubtedly provoking the might of the Medicine Clan. With this fellow’s Sixth Rank Dou Sage strength, it would be impossible for him to escape from Yaodan’s grasp.
“Something is not right…”
Years of experience had honed Xiao Yan’s keen sense, and he vaguely felt that something was amiss. This Hun Xu Zi was no fool and should have known what kind of treatment saying such things would bring from the Medicine Clan, yet… he seemed completely fearless.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan’s heart sank, and in a flash, he appeared beside the Pharmacist Elder, his face solemn as he whispered, “Be careful.”
The Pharmacist Elder also nodded solemnly, feeling that there was something off about Hun Xu Zi.
In the sky, the Ten Thousand Flames Elder’s face was sullen, and his eyes, looking at Hun Xu Zi, were already filled with murderous intent. As soon as Yaodan gave the order, he would attack with all his might, killing this fellow who dared to challenge the prestige of the Medicine Clan in front of so many people.
“Hun Xu Zi, do you know what you are saying?” Seated above, Yaodan’s face was expressionless as he gazed at Hun Xu Zi in the sky, his eyes flashing with sharp coldness. A voice devoid of any emotion slowly emerged from his mouth.
“Haha, Clan Leader Yaodan, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade is an ominous object. Keeping it in the Medicine Clan will only bring you disaster. If I take it from you, it might be safer, wouldn’t it?” Hun Xu Zi said with a smile, as if he did not feel the murderous intent seeping from Yaodan’s eyes.
“Hun Xu Zi, you are too reckless. I will capture you today and let the Soul Clan leader come to redeem you!” As Hun Xu Zi’s words fell, the Ten Thousand Flames Elder’s face turned even darker, and with a roar, his vast Dou Qi surged out, enveloping the entire area. In a blink, he appeared above Hun Xu Zi, where immense Fire Wind gathered into a giant palm, slamming down fiercely.
“Should be about enough now…” Facing the fierce attack of the Ten Thousand Flames Elder, Hun Xu Zi smiled faintly, raised his head, and gazed at the distant sky. He muttered something to himself, and the strange smile on his lips widened. Deep within his pupils, black flames rushed out like a dragon that had been suppressed for a long time. As the black flames surged, Hun Xu Zi’s aura also skyrocketed suddenly.
*Boom!*
In the sky, Hun Xu Zi waved his sleeve, and a simple palm met the huge flame palm. Then, everyone was shocked to see that the enormous wind-fire, upon contact, was entirely swallowed by Hun Xu Zi. In contrast, the Ten Thousand Flames Elder, once impressive, was hit hard and spat out a mouthful of blood, flying back and finally landing clumsily on the square below, creating a large pit.
“Haha, since we’ve played for so long, consider this a small interest charge.” In the sky, Hun Xu Zi’s long hair billowed without any wind, his eyes now covered with black flames, looking extraordinarily strange. A calm voice echoed across the square.
“Seven Star Dou Sage!”
Everyone’s faces changed drastically at this moment, staring at Hun Xu Zi in disbelief. The aura he had just emitted far surpassed that of the Ten Thousand Flames Elder!
“This guy has hidden his strength. Does he really intend to forcibly seize the Medicine Clan’s ancient jade?” The Pharmacist Elder’s face changed as he spoke in a low voice, seeing this scene.
Xiao Yan’s face also became extremely serious, his eyes fixed on Hun Xu Zi. He had never discovered that this guy had hidden his true strength all along!
“Even after the robbery of the Green Egg, amidst such rage, he still hid his strength. This guy has deep schemes. But does he really think he can single-handedly take the Medicine Clan’s ancient jade?”
On the seat, Yaodan’s face finally turned thoroughly cold. He stood up slowly, staring intently at Hun Xu Zi, and said coldly, “Send a signal. Notify the Flame Clan and the Lightning Clan. Say that we have found the one responsible for the disappearance of the Spirit Clan and Stone Clan!”
As Yaodan finished speaking, everyone’s faces changed. Even Xiao Yan’s body trembled, and he looked up in shock at Hun Xu Zi. Could it really be that the Soul Clan was behind everything?
“Yes!”
Although the Medicine Clan Elders were shocked by Yaodan’s words to the point of trembling, they quickly took out a scroll and tore it open, instantly spreading a spatial fluctuation. However, just as the spatial fluctuations were about to form a spatial passage, they were suddenly disrupted, and the newly formed channel instantly dissipated.
Seeing this, many in the Medicine Clan felt a chill. Some of the more astute elders quickly sent out the Medicine Clan’s alert soundwaves. Instantly, the surrounding mountains were stirred, and numerous Medicine Clan warriors, like locusts, rushed through the air.
“Hun Xu Zi, what trickery have you employed?!”
A Medicine Clan elder roared angrily.
“Hmm, it seems to be done.”
In the sky, Hun Xu Zi smiled, paying no attention to the incoming Medicine Clan warriors. Casually, he said, “Nothing much, just sealed the Medicine Clan’s space…”
His words caused an uproar below. The strong individuals from various clans who had come to witness the Medical Symposium hastily took out their spatial scrolls, tearing them open, but the result was the same as before.
“Something big is going to happen…”
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his face ashen. He had not expected that the Soul Clan’s target this time was the Medicine Clan. And none had thought that they would come during the Medical Symposium!
Yaodan’s face was sullen. Pressing a storage ring, he crushed it into powder. This ring was designed to transmit vibrations specifically to the leaders of the Flame and Lightning Clans, and only those three clan leaders possessed it.
“Haha, Clan Leader Yaodan, don’t waste your energy.”
Hun Xu Zi smiled and said.
Ignoring him, Yaodan’s eyes fixated on his fingertips and indeed saw the vibrations appearing, then wildly turning like headless flies, clearly not transmitting out. Seeing this, Yaodan’s heart sank further.
“Hun Xu Zi, my Medicine Clan has established spatial channels with the Flame and Lightning Clans. If they discover the channel missing, they will know something happened to the Medicine Clan. When the news spreads, the Ancient Clan will certainly not stand idly by. The four of us combined, and your Soul Clan is bound to be destroyed!”
Though his heart had sunk, Yaodan, as a clan leader, swiftly regained his composure and stated sternly.
“My Soul Clan managed to subdue the Spirit Clan and Stone Clan without alerting the Ancient Clan. Naturally, we can make your Medicine Clan vanish quietly from the world.”
Hun Xu Zi said indifferently.
“Relying on just you?!”
Yaodan slowly ascended, and the terrifying aura of a Seven Star Dou Sage burst out without reservation. His powerful pressure was even slightly stronger than Hun Xu Zi’s, befitting the title of a clan leader.
“Senior Hun Xu Zi, this is a grudge between your Soul Clan and the Medicine Clan, unrelated to us. We hope you will spare us and allow our departure. In the future, we will repay your mercy.”
As Yaodan rose, the many sect leaders and elders who had come to observe the Medical Symposium hurriedly called out, their panic apparent. The examples of the Stone and Spirit Clans, both utterly devoid of life, made them realize death was inevitable if they got involved.
“Hmm, naturally. All non-Medicine Clan members may leave. I will not hinder you…”
With these words, Hun Xu Zi smiled softly.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Many of the sect members were overjoyed, quickly turning and dashing towards the entrance of the Medicinal World.
Xiao Yan watched their backs, but his brows furrowed. Having dealt with the Hall of Souls countless times, he knew their ruthless nature. Releasing prisoners was something beyond their capabilities.
“Aaaaah!”
Sure enough, just as Xiao Yan’s thoughts flickered, an endless stream of black light began to flash in the distant sky, and the shrill cries of agony echoed.
As the black lights flashed in the distance, everyone was shocked to see infinite black flames seeping out of the void, spreading to cover the world, turning day to night…
“This is… the True Void Devouring Flame!”
Xiao Yan’s pupils shrank as he gazed at the black flames emerging from the void. Inside him, Xiao Yi also opened his eyes, his young face unusually grave. Clearly, even he sensed a profound danger. Hovering in the sky, the black flames surged behind Hun Xu Zi. He lowered his head, smiling, his arms slowly spreading, his face increasingly strange.
“Yaodan, I regret to inform you, the Medicine Clan is about to perish…”
