Chapter 918: The Blind Old Man
After angering the sarcastic Yun Clan, the Grand Elder Su Kan looked arrogantly proud. He had always hated this family, this Yun Clan who keeps on looking down on them. No, they looked down on anything in the Inner Haven. Just because the Yun Family is from the Core Haven, they keep looking down on those who are from a haven lower than theirs. In reality, this is normal. After all, those from the Core Haven were considered something akin to an upper realm where the real power of the Immortal Realm resides.
However, the Yun Clan is nothing compared to the empires that exist in the Core Haven. After all, they didn’t have an emperor realm cultivator leading them. They were only brought over by a big power and were given a chance to enter the Core Haven and got some backing due to their alchemy skills. In the Core Haven, Alchemy skill is also rare. That’s why the Yun Clan is well protected even in the Core Haven. If there is something that can drag them down, it is only the existence of the Divine Doctor. Once the Divine Doctor had appeared their Yun Clan would be nothing but a joke in her presence.
The Divine Doctor is the peak of everything regarding medicines and this includes alchemy, medicine, acupuncture and bringing people back alive from the brink of death. It’s an existence that is desired by everyone in the Immortal World. That’s why when the Yun Clan’s investigation found out that the origins of the Pill Tower at the Inner Haven was connected to the late Divine Doctor, they guessed that maybe they also possessed a part of the Divine Doctor’s legacy. That’s why they are so obsessed with taking over the Pill Tower for themselves. As long as they got the legacy of the Divine Doctor the possibility of their Alchemy skills increasing would not be impossible.
But now that the legacy of the Divine Doctor is exposed, the Yun Clan had to hurry and take away the Pill Tower. That’s why they had a strike tonight without wasting too much time. Unknown to them, the purging was intentionally done by the Moon Goddess. This is not only to clean up the pest inside her territory but also to bait those from the outside that are targeting her place. Since the Pill Tower is already under her name, no one is allowed to touch them without her permission and everyone who dares will be eliminated.
Almost angered to death by the poisonous tongue of Grand Elder Su Kan, the Yun Clan had commanded an all out attack. Now the Pill Tower was besieged by twelve God King cultivators with only three God King cultivators uninjured and three injured god king realm elders from the Pill Tower.
"Kill them!"
With this command, the full attack had finally landed on the Pill Tower. But except for the Pill Tower Master Han Siyu who already knew the tower is protected and Grand Elder Li Houye who noticed something is amiss in their surroundings, the ordinary elders and Grand Elder Su Kan who didn’t notice anything strange in the area all showed fear. They had truly expected to die at this moment.
However, a sudden silence descended in the area. Followed by a collective sound of someone choking of something, Grand Elder Su Kan and the other who closed their eyes waiting for them abruptly opened their eyes only to witness the scene of those terrifying men who had purged their tower this morning suddenly appeared behind their attacker and slitting off their neck instantly killing the vessels of all Godking cultivators from the enemies side.
Among these people the most familiar face that appeared was none other than the Assassin King himself. A Quasi-emperor cultivator who lords over the Evernight Manor and Tan Shengyu who was the only one who had smiled at Han Siyu on their first meeting.
At the dying moment of the leader of the Yun Clan’s assassination group, he saw Hei Yu’s face and finally recognized him. In fact, he is also a member of the Evernight Manor, though not a permanent member but he had met the Lord of the Evernight Manor, that’s why he recognized Hei Yu.
"L-Lord Ever...night? Why?" He asked at his last breath.
Hei Yu glanced at him coldly as he cleans his weapon, "I had announced in the group message this afternoon, didn’t I? The Evergreen Garden and Pill Tower are off limits."
Within the group of twelve people, no one from the Yun Clan had survived. Hei Yu firmly targeted them and made sure that anyone with the surname Yun that attacked the Pill Tower would die tonight. There is someone who had escaped with fatal injuries and before they could escape a second stabbed took their lives. No one from the Evernight Manor had hesitated in taking the lives of the people who targeted the Pill Tower.
Tan Shengyu asked, "Was that all of them? None of these people were powerful enough to defeat you, Brother Hei!"
"Stop talking nonsense. There is at least one more who had already sneaked into the tower," Hei Yu said.
No one knew how this had happened but the words Hei Yu had spoken had startled anyone who had heard about it. This is especially true for the people from the Pill Tower.
Grand Elder Li Houye frowned and said, "Someone had sneaked in?"
"This is... Did they sneak in for the legacy of the Divine Doctor?" Grand Elder Su Kan asked.
At this point, even Hei Yu was surprised that no one from the Pill Tower seemed worried that someone had sneaked into the interior of the tower. Then his face turned serious as he observed the presence of this unknown which only him seems to have known and noticed.
—
On the other hand, inside the Pill Tower, an old man had successfully sneaked in. This old man seems to have a clear target and heads to where the tower warehouse is. The warehouse of the Pill Tower which is protected by an blind old man named Elder Kun. This intruder was actually from the Yun Clan and this man was even a Quasi-emperor realm cultivator.
"The presence of my clansmen outside are all gone. Have they all been killed?" this intruder mumbles with a serious expression.
He didn’t expect that the group that he had come with no one had survived. He would have escaped right from the beginning if he didn’t see the warehouse which is the target place of his clan. He was mortified by the fact that everyone had failed to kill the main powers of the power and that they were counter killed instead. Now that he had seen his goal, he didn’t hesitate to fly towards the warehouse to find the legacy of the Divine Doctor.
This quasi-emperor realm cultivator had even ignored the gatekeeper which had nothing in his eyes after sensing that this blind old thing didn’t even have any cultivation realm in him. The intruder was about to touch the door of the warehouse when suddenly he felt a pressure he would have never forgotten all his life. Such an overbearing pressure, it forced the man to fall on his knees and even his back was bent over the ground.
Ugh~
The intruder was not only caught off guard but also was in disbelief that someone this powerful is guarding a small place like this. What he didn’t know was that this old man was one of the founders of the tower and a late elder who is the remaining person alive from the first generation members of the Pill Tower.
"Where do you think you are going, rat?" The Blind Old man used his aura to pressure this intruder down to his knees.
This is the first time he had used such pressure in years and this intruder who targeted the legacy of the Divine Doctor will not escape.
"F-False... Emperor realm?!" The intruder from the Yun Clan exclaimed while on his knees.
There are two special realms before one can reach the Emperor realm. Of course, not everyone had the talent to break through the Emperor’s realm in their lives. There are those who lack talents yet still unable to breakthrough yet reach a special realm which can be considered stronger than a God King Realm. These realms are called the Quasi-Emperor realm and the False Emperor realm. The latter meant one had grabbed the threshold to become an emperor but was still lacking opportunity and comprehension.
The second one is called the False Emperor realm. These are cultivators who wanted to break through the Emperor’s realm but failed miserably in the end yet survived. They were called False Emperor realm cultivators and they were cultivators who would never be able to break through the Emperor realm as they had badly injured their origins thus called as a False Emperor. This realm is stronger than the Quasi-Emperor realm yet weaker than a realm emperor realm cultivator.
False Emperor realm. The blind old man that guards the Pill Tower’s warehouse or treasure house is in this realm.
