"So strong!"
Under Elder Xiao's pressure, Venerable Kuyi couldn't even move a finger.
Not to mention Cao Dan.
Taiwan Novel Network accompanies your reading, super thoughtful.
If you can directly suppress someone with your cultivation, why bother competing in alchemy?
Elder Xiao perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a powerful ruffian.
My fist is bigger than yours, why should I listen to you?
Only the one with the bigger fist has the right to speak.
"Even if you protect her today, this matter isn't over. The next people who come will only be harder to deal with," Cao Dan shouted, enduring immense pressure and burning with anger.
He had never been so humiliated, to be suppressed by someone.
"Are you threatening me?" Elder Xiao walked towards Cao Dan step by step.
With each step he took, the pressure on Cao Dan doubled.
By the time Elder Xiao reached him, Cao Dan couldn't even lift his head; he was completely pressed to the ground, unable to move a single finger.
"You don't seem to understand the situation yet. Who exactly has the advantage right now?"
Elder Xiao stepped on Cao Dan, showing no respect for this so-called Young Master Cao.
"Xiao Li, you dare!"
Even with his head bowed under pressure, Cao Dan still refused to yield verbally.
So, Elder Xiao directly kicked Cao Dan, like kicking a football, sending him flying.
Bang!
Cao Dan crashed heavily into the wall, instantly knocked unconscious by the internal force.
"Take a message back to your Cao Family: Ye Xinlan is my fiancée, and the Ye Family is under my protection. If you want to make a move, come find me."
"However, next time, I hope to see a Dou Saint expert, not a few trash Dou Venerables, wasting my time."
Elder Xiao snorted coldly.
Venerable Kuyi and the others immediately felt the pressure on them disappear.
Venerable Kuyi was not as foolish as Cao Dan.
He didn't utter a single harsh word, quickly leaving the Ye Family with the unconscious Cao Dan.
Because he knew that they, with their numbers, could absolutely not deal with Elder Xiao.
If they continued to cause trouble, whether they could even return was an unknown.
Ye Zhong and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Elder Xiao had only injured Cao Dan and hadn't gone for a killing blow.
Although Elder Xiao's strength was indeed beyond their expectations, if he had truly killed Cao Dan, it would certainly invite the Cao Family's 瘋狂 revenge.
Elder Xiao also held back for this very reason.
He wasn't afraid of the Cao Family, but of the Pill Tower behind the Cao Family.
As one of the Five Great Families, if a genius Alchemist was killed, the Pill Tower would certainly not ignore it.
Elder Xiao wasn't afraid of the Pill Tower's revenge now; he couldn't beat them, but he could escape.
However, if things escalated to that point, he would lose the opportunity to participate in the Pill Gathering and obtain the Three Thousand Yan Flame.
"Things should be settled now. Even if the Cao Family wants to cause trouble later, they will only come after me."
"Let's continue with our plan and head to Holy Pill City," Elder Xiao said.
Ye Zhong nodded: "Alright, we'll depart now."
...After dealing with the Cao Family's drama, Elder Xiao and his group of four officially set off for Holy Pill City.
Ye City and Holy Pill City are very far apart, and flying directly would take a lot of time.
Therefore, they still had to use the simplest and most direct method — teleportation via a spatial wormhole.
As one of the Pill Tower's Five Great Families, the Ye Family had the capability to construct a spatial wormhole in Ye City.
However, with the decline of the Ye Family's power, the spatial wormhole in Ye City lacked daily maintenance by Dou Venerable experts, so its scale was not very large.
"Alas, in the glorious days of my Ye Family, we had two Dou Venerable experts who voluntarily helped maintain the spatial wormhole."
"Now we can no longer invite experts of that caliber, which must be amusing to Elder Xiao."
The former glory contrasted sharply with the current neglect, and Ye Zhong was filled with bitterness.
Elder Xiao smiled: "No matter. When we return later, I'll help you maintain it. For now, as long as it works."
Maintaining a spatial teleportation array was an effortless task for him.
"Then I thank Elder Xiao in advance. Let's depart."
Subsequently, Ye Zhong took out a spatial ship, placed it into the wormhole, and it transformed into a huge ship.
This ship was grand and imposing, but compared to Elder Xiao's xuanwu ship and azure dragon heavenly ship, it was still considerably inferior.
However, this time the operation was led by the Ye Family, so Elder Xiao did not try to steal the show and simply rode Ye Zhong's spaceship obediently.
"Our wormhole cannot go directly to Holy Pill City. We need to transfer in Qingling City midway before we can reach Holy Pill City."
"The entire process will take about seven or eight days. Of course, leave the operation of the spatial ship to us. Elder Xiao and Miss Medusa can rest in the cabin," Ye Zhong said.
Elder Xiao and Medusa nodded, then each found a room to rest in.
During this time, to express his dedication to the Pill Tower's assessment and the upcoming Pill Gathering, he still cultivated his soul power and alchemy skills a bit.
Although he considered his alchemy skills superior to many, there were always people stronger and more skilled.
Confidence is good, but overconfidence is not.
This is called strategically despising the opponent, but tactically respecting the opponent.
Until time passed, Holy Pill City, arrived... One spatial ship after another flashed out of the wormhole, like fish in the deep sea, agile and swift, merging into the silver light circle before them.
The clamor of noise rushed like a river, instantly engulfing the group.
What appeared before Elder Xiao was a massive plaza built entirely of crimson rock, stretching as far as the eye could see.
On the plaza, surging crowds were like dense ants, their noisy clamor piercing the sky and shaking the heavens.
"Is this Holy Pill City?"
Seeing such a magnificent scene for the first time, the impact was quite significant for Elder Xiao.
And spatial ships in the sky continued to fly out, one figure after another descending from the spatial ships without pause.
"Holy Pill City truly lives up to its reputation." Medusa's eyes also showed a hint of shock.
Such a grand gathering could not be seen anywhere else.
"There are eight such plazas in Holy Pill City."
"And now isn't even the busiest time. When the Pill Gathering starts in another month, that's when it will be truly terrifying," Ye Zhong said with a smile.
"Where do we go first? Do we participate in the assessment directly?"
Elder Xiao was unfamiliar with Holy Pill City, so it was better to listen to Ye Zhong here.
"The assessment is still a few days away. For now, let's go to one of our Ye Family's residences in Holy Pill City to settle down," Ye Zhong said.
"Okay."
The group followed Ye Zhong towards a certain location in Holy Pill City.
Just as they turned to leave, a strong fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.
Immediately after, a snow-white phoenix carriage flew out from the fluctuating space...
