Qing Yun gave a cold snort, he's already prepared. A shield suddenly appeared in his hand, its radiance enveloping his entire body.
"You really do have plenty of magic treasures!" Liuli gritted her teeth.
Qing Yun replied calmly, "Isn't this just the advantage of being an alchemist? Whoever asks us to refine pills must offer us benefits. When it comes to wealth, who can compare with alchemists? In cultivation, the four foundations are wealth, techniques, companions, and land. Wealth comes first!"
As Qing Yun spoke, he kept glancing toward Yun Jin.
Good disciple, did you hear that?
We alchemists are the highest in status, the richest of all!
Yun Jin didn't even know what to say.
Liuli said directly, "So what? I command countless spirit beasts. Isn't that better than your cold, lifeless objects? We Beast Tamers can commune with the heavens above and contract with all living things below. That is the True Dao."
As she spoke, she also looked at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin: "..."
Emmm…
Still no idea what's even happening?
At that moment.
A voice rang out.
"In this world there are ten thousand Daos. I have but one sword! And with one sword, I shatter all Daos!"
A mighty greatsword descended upon them both.
Liuli and Qing Yun's expressions changed drastically. They no longer had time to fight each other and each used their own methods to block the sword.
But what a sword it was, how sharp!
Even two peerless experts together could not stop it.
The sword broke through all defenses, splitting into two blades that thrust at each of them.
Both Qing Yun and Liuli looked rather grim.
Damn it.
Sword cultivators really were just all brawn!
But the blades did not actually pierce them. In the next instant, the two swords merged into one, and an even sharper figure than the sword itself appeared between them.
That was…
Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted sharply.
He did not know these people, but he knew each one was far beyond his reach.
So why had all these great figures gathered in front of Yun Jin?
Ji Wusi smiled at Yun Jin, "Among all paths, none attack as fiercely as the Sword Immortals. Whatever techniques they cultivate, the Sword Immortal with a sword is invincible."
In Ji Wusi's hand was a net. Inside, Li Heng's Nascent Soul struggled.
Recognizing Ji Wusi, he cried out in fear, "Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader, I was wronged!"
"You were wronged?" Ji Wusi sounded impatient. He extended his hand toward Qing Yun. "Hand it over."
"Hand over what!" Qing Yun snorted.
"Cut the nonsense." Ji Wusi set his hand directly on his sword. "If not, we'll fight."
Qing Yun's beard and eyebrows bristled in anger, but he still threw over a porcelain bottle with a huff. Ji Wusi poured out a pitch-black pill and smiled in satisfaction.
He directly released the net.
Li Heng's Nascent Soul quickly cried out, "Alliance Leader, I truly am innocent! It was Zhao Wuji, he sought me out—"
Zhao Wuji's face darkened instantly.
That Li Heng sold out people too quickly.
But Ji Wusi had no interest in such babble. He directly shoved the pitch-black pill into the Nascent Soul's mouth.
The Nascent Soul tried to resist, but Ji Wusi merely raised his hand slightly, and he was forced to swallow.
"Alliance Leader, I—" The Nascent Soul tried to say more.
The next moment, he clutched his throat, terror spreading across his face.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
Ji Wusi lazily counted to three. Li Heng's Nascent Soul instantly melted into a puddle of black water, which then immediately evaporated.
Ji Wusi casually collected the vapor with the porcelain bottle.
From that moment on.
Li Heng no longer existed in this world.
No bones remained.
Soul scattered.
Even more miserable than Ruan Jun!
"This is my personally refined Ten-Thousand Poisons Pill." Qing Yun explained with a smile. "The perfect choice for killing and plundering. You see? We alchemists can even kill more cleanly and neatly than others."
Qing Yun took the chance to advertise again.
"However," Ji Wusi raised an eyebrow, "with one sword, you'll obediently hand over however many pills I want."
Qing Yun nearly jumped in fury, "Ji Wusi! What are you so smug about? You sword cultivators are all brawn and no brains! Keep being arrogant and believe it or not, I'll stop refining pills for you in the future!"
Ji Wusi chuckled, "Then I'll just take them by force."
"You wouldn't dare!" Qing Yun snorted.
"You two are far too crude," Liuli interjected smoothly. "We beast tamers are the truly elegant ones. With endless spirit beasts doing our bidding, we need not even lift a hand."
"Heh. Then don't come asking me for pills to advance your spirit beasts anymore. Let's see how they evolve then." Qing Yun held his ground against the both of them.
"Qing Yun, are you the only ninth-rank alchemist alive?!"
"Exactly! Why are you arrogant?"
The three of them kept flinging words back and forth.
Everyone in Tianxing Sect was stunned.
Listening carefully, they pieced things together.
This Qing Yun senior was actually the legendary ninth-rank alchemist!
That Liuli senior was most likely a top beast tamer.
And that man whom Li Heng had called Alliance Leader could easily take on both at once!
Wait, these great figures, why had they all come here?
The three Grand Elders' expressions kept changing.
They were still thinking about that title, Alliance Leader.
Could it be the Alliance Leader of the Demon-Destroying Alliance?
Everyone knew there's only one Alliance Leader.
The best sword cultivator. The one who could be called the number-one expert. Sect Master of Kunlun Sword Sect: Ji Wusi!
Could this bickering man before them truly be that legendary figure?
The three Grand Elders subconsciously shook their heads.
He really didn't seem like it at all!
And that quarrelsome one with the bristling beard, was he really a ninth-rank alchemist?
And Liuli, that senior too, was shouting until her hair was disheveled.
So this was… the world of great figures?
While others struggled to process it, Yun Jin at the center of the storm was even more bewildered.
These three quarreled and quarreled.
And in the midst of it, they kept turning to ask her.
"Xiao Jin, what do you think?"
"Don't you think sword cultivators are too crude?"
"Look, isn't my spirit beast adorable?"
"Forget sword cultivators and beast tamers, we alchemists can smash them with pills alone!"
Yun Jin was completely dumbfounded, only able to nod occasionally.
On that side, the three great figures were making a racket. On the other side, Cang Li and Shen Yanye stared at each other, looking ready to fight at any moment.
The Grand Elders watched in terror.
If these people really started fighting.
The entire Tianxing Sect might be destroyed!
No one dared approach Yun Jin's side. The Grand Elders went to Lin Ya instead.
One whispered, "Lin Ya, what's the situation with these seniors? Is there anything the sect can help prepare for?"
Lin Ya sighed and said bitterly, "Elders, this matter, it's too difficult!"
The Grand Elders' faces grew solemn.
Even Zhao Wuji couldn't help but look over.
Lin Ya continued miserably, "Actually, I'm not familiar with these great figures. They… they…"
Seeing Lin Ya like this, the Grand Elders grew even more tense.
Even Zhao Wuji began to feel some anticipation.
Could there still be a twist?
