Chapter 628: The First Martial Artist Swallowed Dozens of Vein-Ease Pills

Nanli sighed helplessly, "You don’t seriously plan to chop down all the martial experts, do you?"

"Of course not," Chu Yang said thoughtfully. "I just want to spar a little. But if I encounter someone who’s caused harm, I’ll act without hesitation, ensuring they don’t hurt the people!"

Nanli calculated for a moment and said, "Fourth Brother, if you want to go, you’ll have to walk there yourself. Use a Teleportation Talisman or Transfer Talisman. I’m afraid you won’t gain much from this trip."

Chu Yang believed her words without question and nodded. "Alright, I’ll go travel for a bit."

Master Zhao initially felt excited, but then sighed helplessly.

The difference between having talent and not having talent was enormous.

He stepped forward and said, "Young Master, I have no sons or daughters. The Flame Sect originally didn’t know who to pass it on to. If you don’t mind, I will retire, and the Flame Sect will be yours to lead!"

Chu Yang was stunned. "I’m only eighteen..."

What right do I have?

Master Zhao was about to praise him as a youthful hero, but Qi Mu interrupted. "Fourth Brother, think about it. You’re only eighteen, and your martial arts are already this strong. In the Flame Sect, you should be the first in hundreds of years! Who wouldn’t bow to you?"

The elders and disciples all cheered in agreement.

That’s right!

They had witnessed Chu Yang’s abilities, and now they respected him!

First, Chu Yang’s Cloud Fire Technique was excellent and a model for them to follow.

Second, Chu Yang had defended the Flame Sect today. The possibility of retaliation from other factions meant they could now justify protecting their master.

Master Zhao was pushed to the back of the group, and his displeasure was evident.

Chu Yang had already made up his mind. "But I still want to challenge martial artists. Never mind, Master Zhao, you should continue as the sect leader. Once I return, I’ll reconsider."

Being sect leader meant dealing with endless affairs, and he had no interest in that.

"This..." Master Zhao became anxious. Was Fourth Master looking down on the Flame Sect?

Nanli smiled and said, "Fourth Brother is just straightforward. He feels it would hinder his cultivation. Master Zhao, you should continue leading. Let him become an elder; anything related to the Flame Sect, he will come when called."

Chu Yang was grateful and glanced at Nanli. "Yes, that’s exactly what Sixth Sister meant."

Master Zhao paused for a moment before laughing. "True. Too many responsibilities would interfere with one’s focus on cultivation."

He then handed over the elder’s plaque to Chu Yang and announced that Chu Yang would be the new elder of the Flame Sect.

Chu Yang took the plaque and grinned.

Since he was now part of the Flame Sect, he thought of the disciples who had gone astray in their cultivation and asked, "Your Highness, Sixth Sister, have you finished refining the Vein-Ease Pills?"

Master Zhao and the others all looked at Nanli anxiously.

"We’re done," Nanli replied, holding up a large bag of pills.

The fragrance of the medicine instantly filled the air.

She opened the bag for Master Zhao to inspect. "Each person gets one. After twelve hours, their meridians will be smooth, and they’ll regain their senses. Although we can preserve their Dantian, they mustn’t attempt to practice Fire Cloud Spell again, or they will die on the spot."

Master Zhao nodded in agreement, eyeing the pills with immense gratitude. "The Ninth Princess, how much will this cost? The Flame Sect doesn’t have much cash at the moment. We might need to delay payment for a while..."

Nanli shook her head. "No need. Master Zhao sent me lotus seeds earlier, and I haven’t even reimbursed you yet. How could I let you pay again? It was a simple task for the Prince, and he only took two or three hours to refine these."

Ye Siheng, standing far off in the corridor, heard Nanli’s praise and couldn’t help but smile.

He didn’t forget to credit his wife’s contribution as well. "It’s all thanks to A’Li’s dragon flame and purification talisman."

"Both of you are incredible, thank you, thank you!" Master Zhao praised them before happily handing the bag over to an elder. He instructed, "Distribute these to the disciples, one each. Be sure to remember!"

The elder nodded and called a few disciples to help him carry the bag.

As the group turned a corner, a shadow suddenly leaped out, knocking the elder down. The person reached into the bag and grabbed several Vein-Ease Pills.

By the time the disciples reacted, the person had already swallowed the pills.

"It’s you, Zhou Zida!" The elder’s beard stood on end in fury. "Wasn’t he locked up? How did he get out?"

The elder moved to pry Zhou Zida’s mouth open to retrieve the pills. These were life-saving pills for the disciples!

Zhou Zida had been brought back by Master Zhao after refusing to reveal anything about cultivation and the Immortal World, so he had been imprisoned in the Flame Sect’s dungeon.

The dungeon was usually guarded by disciples, but many had gone astray in their cultivation, and with the recent attack, no one had been guarding it.

Although his Dantian had been drained, Zhou Zida still had his brute strength. Using a few tricks, he had managed to escape.

He had intended to sneak off the mountain, but the fragrance of the Vein-Ease Pills reached him.

Vein-Ease Pills?!

The fragrance... at least of mid-grade quality!

Not wanting to remain a useless person, he rushed out, grabbed a handful of the pills, and swallowed them.

Master Zhao approached and saw that at least eight or ten pills were missing. His face darkened.

The elder was filled with self-reproach. "Master, I’m sorry, I didn’t guard the pills properly..."

"You really are getting old and forgetful! Every pill missing means another disciple in danger!" Master Zhao was furious. He turned to glare at Zhou Zida. "You were supposed to die, and I begged the Ninth Princess to show mercy! How dare you repay kindness with malice! Take him away and execute him!"

Zhou Zida’s face turned white.

When Nanli followed and saw him, she remembered who he was.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zida looked at her like a mad dog, "You filthy woman! You ruined me! I lost my future, I lost everything! You’re the ones who refined these pills, right? I ate over ten of them, trying to save all the disciples? Dream on!"

Nanli’s expression remained calm, her eyes icy. "I and the Prince refined three hundred of them. Even if you eat ten or more, it will still be enough."

She paused before continuing, "Even if it’s not enough, the Prince can refine another batch on the spot. And by the way, you were bought off by Penglai Island, and when you couldn’t win, you came here to make a scene. Are you still a man?"

Ye Siheng teleported to her side, his face grim.

He was clearly angry at Zhou Zida’s insults.

"We should chop him up and feed him to the dogs," he said coldly.

Zhou Zida froze.

It seemed his plans had failed, and now he would die a painful death.

His mind raced, and then he suddenly fell to his knees, crying uncontrollably. "Master! I know I was wrong! I’m willing to teach your disciples martial arts! I’ll tell you everything you want to know! Please spare my life!"
