Chapter 2271 - 2272: The Wolf Is Here! (Part 1)
Pill Tower.
In a courtyard, the fragrance of tea spread, permeating the entire yard.
Meng the Pill Master drank tea leisurely.
Beside him, Yuan the Pill Master was not so relaxed, a hint of worry flashed across his face, as if concerned about something.
"Yuan the Pill Master, you can rest assured, since Elder Yan and that Ye Fentian chased after him, it’s hardly likely they’ll come back," Meng the Pill Master said.
"I’m just afraid there will be an accident, that Ye Fentian managed to survive in such a place as Earth and silently appeared in the ancestral land. I always feel this brat’s luck is somewhat against the heavens. If he died at the hands of the major sects, it would be fine, but I’m only afraid that even they can’t kill him." Yuan the Pill Master voiced his concerns.
Meng the Pill Master laughed heartily: "Yuan the Pill Master, you are overly worried. I assure you, that Ye Fentian will definitely not return."
"Had I known this guy was just a native from Earth, I wouldn’t have let him join Pill Tower even if he beat me back then. If he’s alive, he will only bring disaster to the Pill Tower. Now it’s fine if he’s dead at the hands of the major sects."
Meng the Pill Master patted Yuan the Pill Master’s shoulder, signaling him not to worry so much. With so many strong individuals in the major sects and Jin Zhimo in hand, how could they not kill one Ye Qiu?
Just as Meng the Pill Master’s words had ended, and Yuan the Pill Master’s heart was calmed by Meng’s assurances, suddenly a cold voice rang out, exploding in their ears.
"Do you really wish for my death that much?"
This chilling voice caused hair to stand on end, sending shivers down their spines.
The main thing was that Meng the Pill Master, Yuan the Pill Master believed Ye Qiu would be killed by the major sects, never expecting Ye Qiu to return.
Why did he return!
They knew without thinking what the reason was.
If a wolf returns, it must have a reason, it’s either to repay a favor or to seek revenge.
In their hearts, Ye Qiu was like a wolf. They originally thought this wolf was dead for sure, unexpected, it had returned alive.
"Ye... Ye Fentian!"
Meng the Pill Master stared fixedly at Ye Qiu who had suddenly emerged from the void. He was really alive, how could he still be alive, he should have been dead by now.
Meng the Pill Master had many doubts, but unfortunately, no one at this moment could resolve them for him. Seeing Ye Qiu’s cold eyes, Meng the Pill Master felt somewhat panicked.
After all, he was just an Alchemist, not a true Martial Artist.
The fact that Ye Qiu survived under the hands of the major sects, what it implies, Meng the Pill Master already had an estimation in his heart.
If Meng the Pill Master knew, Ye Qiu not only returned alive but also killed six mighty celestial powerhouses, he would be even more shocked.
At this moment, he probably wouldn’t even have the courage to face Ye Qiu.
"Ye... Ye Pill Master, so it’s you, Ye Pill Master who has come. Forgive my lack of proper welcome," Meng the Pill Master was first in a daze for a moment, then his expression changed and he actively welcomed him, as if they were old friends.
However, facing Meng the Pill Master’s welcoming smile, Ye Qiu did not move.
He heard Meng the Pill Master’s words clearly just now, there was no doubt, the other party planned to use the hands of the major sects to kill him.
"Meng the Pill Master, didn’t you say I was certainly dead?" Ye Qiu said plainly.
"Ye Pill Master, you must have heard wrong, you’re from our Pill Tower, how could I curse you? I know there’s a misunderstanding between us, but that doesn’t mean our relationship is life and death,"
"Moreover, there are rules in the Pill Tower, no internal killing, so Ye Pill Master, you must have misheard it."
Meng the Pill Master openly refused to admit, because he was truly afraid that Ye Qiu would make a move on the spot, and then he mentioned the rules of the Pill Tower, also wanting to deter Ye Qiu, hoping he wouldn’t break the rules of the Pill Tower, because if he did, he would face the consequences.
It must be said, Meng the Pill Master’s mind was strong enough, calculations deep enough, upon knowing Ye Qiu returned alive, he immediately changed his face and was able to smile and talk as if nothing happened, and casually bring up the Tower’s rules, reminding him not to cross the line.
It seemed casual but was full of deep meaning.
However, Meng the Pill Master didn’t expect that Ye Qiu, having returned to the Pill Tower, had already ignored everything, talking rules with him... was ridiculous.
Shua!
Ye Qiu’s figure disappeared from the spot, and in the next moment, Ye Qiu’s hand grabbed Meng the Pill Master’s neck, lifting him up.
"Elder Ye, what are you doing!" Yuan the Pill Master suddenly stood up and scolded, but at this time Yuan the Pill Master’s scold sounded somewhat like a fox using a tiger’s might.
Ye Qiu calmly glanced at him, Yuan the Pill Master instantly felt like he was in an icy cave, Ye Qiu’s eyes made him feel infinite killing intent.
Making him dare not even meet his gaze.
"Ye Fentian, let me go, this is the Pill Tower, don’t ruin yourself." Meng the Pill Master said with some difficulty due to being choked, and shouted.
"Ruin myself? Haha..." Ye Qiu chuckled: "Meng the Pill Master, when you lay hands on my sister Zhimo, and sent her to the major sects, why didn’t you think about these words, these rules were broken by you first."
"Ye Fentian, are you going to kill me?" Meng the Pill Master’s face turned a bit purple, feeling Ye Qiu choking him, making his blood flow inefficient.
"I am someone who repays a foot with a foot, you hurt those around me, then sorry, I will repay tenfold."
In the end, Ye Qiu’s fingers exerted force, and with a crack, Meng the Pill Master’s neck was crushed, but Meng the Pill Master wasn’t dead yet because his soul was still alive. An Alchemist’s strength wasn’t in the body but in the soul, stronger even than a Martial Artist’s.
The next second, Meng the Pill Master’s soul jumped out of his head, revealing his original form, floating in mid-air, and looked at Ye Qiu angrily, showing a fierce expression.
In response, Ye Qiu smiled faintly, giving no chance, he merely uttered two words: "Restrict!"
Ah!
Ye Fentian, I will kill you!
Meng the Pill Master’s soul charged recklessly, attempting to enter Ye Qiu’s body, to fight Ye Qiu’s soul.
However, before he could get close, the surroundings turned into a quagmire, unable to move.
Ye Qiu slowly walked over, his expression devoid of any color, just like that, reaching out and grabbing Meng the Pill Master’s soul in his hand, and squeezed it hard.
Poof!
No matter how Meng the Pill Master resisted, he ultimately couldn’t, dying in an instant, soul extinguished, and path ceased!
Seeing this, Yuan the Pill Master turned to flee, in his heart, Ye Qiu had gone mad, blinded by blood, ignoring the rules of the Pill Tower.
Ye Qiu did not hurry to chase, a smile curled on his lips, Yuan the Pill Master suddenly stopped, because he discovered that this world had been sealed off without his knowledge.
He turned around and saw Ye Qiu walking steadily towards him, like a Grim Reaper.
"You should go join him as well, so he’s not lonely on the yellow spring road!"
...
That day, Pill Tower announced externally the removal of Ye Qiu’s position as the sixth elder, from then on, Ye Qiu and the Pill Tower are no longer related.
And like the major sects, issued a warrant, with a bounty on Ye Qiu.
This news once again caused an uproar in the ancestral land.
