Chapter 703 - 275: Sensation and Reactions from All Sides

Chapter 703: Chapter 275: Sensation and Reactions from All Sides

"Here is the spirit pill promised to you, keep it well."

After Zhou Changwang tore up the blood contract, he felt an invisible binding force dissipate entirely, lifting his spirits. He then flipped his hand, handing over a jade bottle.

"Thank you, Elder Zhou..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianshuo’s face immediately showed a hint of joy, eager to take the pill bottle.

But after a brief hesitation, he stopped himself and tested the waters, saying, "Thank you, Elder Zhou, but I feel that compared to the value of this spirit pill, what I have done is too insignificant.

This pill, I..."

"Take it.

This pill is of little use to me now.

If I wanted, I could refine it myself."

Zhou Changwang tossed it over casually.

Seeing this, Wang Tianshuo hurriedly scrambled to catch the spirit pill bottle, repeatedly saying, "Elder, may I refuse this spirit pill, and instead follow by your side?

Although my talent in alchemy is not great, as long as I can be by your side, serving diligently, even if just as an alchemy boy, I am willing."

Wang Tianshuo was a smart person, and at this moment, he vaguely guessed Zhou Changwang’s identity.

But he understood even more that this was a rare opportunity for him.

A chance like this might only come once in his lifetime, so naturally, he didn’t want to miss it.

Even though he was deeply yearning for this spirit pill, he weighed the pros and cons and gritted his teeth to say such words.

"Forget it.

I’m not very settled right now.

Can’t take you with me."

Zhou Changwang waved his hand, his figure flickering before disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Wang Tianshuo froze, looking somewhat disappointed, but also a little relieved. After a long while, it seemed like he remembered something, hastily opening the pill bottle in his hand and seeing the spirit pill inside.

"It’s indeed the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Unexpectedly, Elder Zhou remembered a casual remark from before.

He truly sent a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Wang Tianshuo sighed, feeling both grateful and excited.

...

On the other side.

After parting ways with Wang Tianshuo, Zhou Changwang did not immediately leave the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

Instead, he used the God Avoiding Pill to quietly lurk around a nondescript hill surrounding the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

His true purpose on this trip was not to kill Ye Hongyi, but to rescue Sister Shen and help her escape trouble.

Now, although Ye Hongyi, who was the greatest threat to her, had been slain by him, she was still trapped in the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, so he couldn’t just leave.

Besides, he wanted to see Ye Yanshu’s reaction to Ye Hongyi’s death.

...

"Ye Hongyi is dead?"

"Is that the Ye Family disciple who came from the Celestial River Domain?

He’s dead?

How did he die?"

The Divine Wind Valley Marketplace was bustling.

As soon as countless cultivators arrived, they heard this shocking news.

They couldn’t wait to inquire about it.

Although life and death are common in the Cultivation Realm.

The Divine Wind Valley Marketplace is a relatively remote place, with not many visiting cultivators.

Ye Hongyi, coming from the Celestial River Domain and being from the main family of the Ye Family, where the marketplace owner resided, was high-profile since arriving and never concealed his identity and strength, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.

He even publicly sparred with Liu Yijun of the Cyan Blade Sword, a Qingyuan Sect disciple temporarily residing in the marketplace.

Liu Yijun, the Cyan Blade Sword, was a Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with acknowledged formidable strength.

At least within the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, he was among the top three.

But Ye Hongyi, in the confrontation, narrowly defeated him, causing a big sensation at the time.

There were even rumors that his strength, although not at the level of a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was not far off.

But now, hearing the news of his demise shocked them immensely.

They were curious about who could have killed such a mighty figure?

"It’s said the perpetrator had extremely low cultivation, only Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

Yet they boldly acted, not only slaying Ye Hongyi but also killing the two guardians by his side, a Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xie, and a Foundation Establishment Fourth-Layer Body Cultivator, outside the marketplace."

"Foundation Establishment Second Layer?

How is that possible?

Not to mention, the two cultivators by his side were strong.

Just Ye Hongyi alone was known to have cultivated the Foundation Establishment True Body, and his strength was not weak.

Being a member of such a grand family, surely he had trump cards. How could he be easily slain by a Foundation Establishment Second Layer Cultivator?

Could there have been many cultivators acting together?"

Someone couldn’t help but retort.

"Of course not.

It was a solo act.

Taking on three cultivators with higher cultivation levels alone.

Yet, that person won completely.

Ye Hongyi and the three cultivators fell by his hand.

Such a situation isn’t impossible, don’t forget, months ago, outside Divine Wind Valley, Ascendant Feng Hua also slew the Young Master..."

Another person, seemingly more informed, spoke up hurriedly.

"This... Do you think this person could be the same Ascendant Feng Hua who killed the Young Master before?"

Suddenly, someone spoke up.

These words brought instant silence to the chatter, as the crowd exchanged glances, reading mutual agreement in each other’s eyes.
