Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147: East Pole Heaven King Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147: East Pole Heaven King Yun Que Peak, Ancient Pill Court.

Two Heaven Kings confronted each other, their auras swelling fiercely. The tense situation was on the verge of erupting, causing everyone present to feel terrified.

Elder Tianhong spoke up, hoping the two Heaven Kings would cease hostilities. Even if they were to fight, he beseeched them not to do it within the Ancient Pill Court.

However, it seemed like the two Heaven Kings didn’t hear him at all. The aura emanating from their bodies grew even stronger, as if to decide the victor based on their auras alone.

At that moment, any minor disturbance might have triggered the ultimate battle between the two Heaven Kings.

Suddenly, the Western Moon King’s expression changed, and he was the first to retract his aura.

The East Pole King also retracted his aura, his aged face showing a hint of smugness.

“I didn’t expect that you had already reached such a realm,” said the Western Moon King, his tone laced with a bit of astonishment.

The East Pole King chuckled, “That’s natural. Although I am aged, the years of living as a hermit have brought me insights, almost reaching that realm.”

The Western Moon King nodded and merely hummed in response, but his brow furrowed with a tinge of solemnity.

Seeing that the two powerful figures were not going to fight, everyone sighed a huge sigh of relief. If a battle had broken out, they, the weakest ones, would have inevitably been affected, which would not have been good.

Listening to the Western Moon King, it seemed that the East Pole King had entered a profoundly deep realm, causing the Western Moon King to feel apprehensive and thus choose to stop the confrontation.

“Western Moon, you still regard the trifle matters too seriously. If you cannot detach yourself, you will ultimately find it difficult to reach my realm,” the East Pole King said, his demeanor inscrutable.

The Western Moon King’s expression remained unchanged, showing no regard for the East Pole King’s words.

“Since you want to protect this young man, today I will not hold his offensive words against him, but in the future, he must also not continue to target the people from the Lineage of Poison Pill Masters,” the Western Moon King said, glancing at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin sneered, offering no response.

Elder Zheng and the other Poison Pill Masters appeared somewhat displeased.

Even the Western Moon King openly referred to them as ‘Poison Pill Masters’, which made them, who always considered themselves as Pill Refiners, feel quite uncomfortable.

But this time, seeing Fang Lin put in his place satisfied them. Although it was different from what they had expected, at least they hadn’t lost out.

“I came here today not only to protect this young fellow but also to take care of another matter,” said the East Pole King.

“Oh? What matter? Do you need to handle it personally, East Pole?” the Western Moon King asked.

Many were curious if the East Pole King had other business at the Ancient Pill Court.

However, the East Pole King didn’t respond and slightly motioned with his finger.

Pu!

A head flew up, Elder Zheng’s head, cleanly severed, with not a single drop of blood spraying out.

The headless corpse stood in place for a moment before falling down with a thump, startling the group of Poison Pill Masters to the point of nearly screaming.

The Western Moon King’s expression also changed, not expecting the East Pole King to act so decisively and harshly, killing Elder Zheng on the spot.

And was it done right before his eyes, was this to show him some colors, or was it a display of disregarding his presence?

Others applauded in succession, feeling extremely relieved at heart, including Fang Lin.

“East Pole, you’ve gone too far.” Western Moon King said angrily, his gaze fixed firmly on East Pole King.

East Pole King curled his lip, “It’s just killing a vermin, what’s so shocking about it?”

“Why did you kill him? Give me a reason.” Western Moon King demanded angrily.

East Pole King chuckled, “You very well know what this guy has done in secret. If I reveal it, it won’t look good on you, Western Moon. Are you sure you want me to tell it?”

Western Moon King fell silent. As a Poison Pill Master, Elder Zheng’s deeds in secrecy were naturally disgraceful, and he, a Heaven King, could not possibly be unaware.

If it really were to be disclosed, then he, the Western Moon King, would surely be accused of harboring a Poison Pill Master who committed evil acts.

East Pole King also gave him some face by not directly revealing what Elder Zheng had done; otherwise, Elder Western Moon’s face would have definitely looked unpleasant.

“There’s a limit to everything.” Western Moon King remarked, casting a meaningful glance at Fang Lin before the end. At least, Fang Lin felt that Western Moon King harbored no good feelings towards him.

“Western Moon, you better go back and continue planting persimmons,” East Pole King said with a laugh.

With a wave of his hand, Western Moon King led away all remaining Poison Pill Masters, vanishing along with himself as if he had never been there.

“Farewell, Heaven King.” The crowd bowed in salute. Even though Western Moon King sided with the Poison Pill Masters, he still commanded everyone’s respect as a Heaven King, an immensely prestigious identity.

With Western Moon King’s departure, those present visibly relaxed; although East Pole King was still there, he seemed much more approachable compared to the stern-faced Western Moon King.

Moreover, East Pole King’s act of killing Elder Zheng on the spot had earned him even greater admiration from the crowd.

“My lord, since you are present, why don’t you continue presiding over this meeting?” Elder Tianhong suggested to East Pole King.

East Pole King waved his hands continuously, “This won’t do, I’ve already retired and find presiding over meetings too troublesome. I’m not interested; you should preside over it instead.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Tianhong could only smile wryly and nod, as East Pole King had always been like this, and as far as he could remember, he had never chaired any Pill Alliance meeting.

Then, East Pole King turned around, patted Fang Lin’s shoulder, leaving a grimy handprint on his clothes.

Fang Lin looked disdainfully at it, his lips twitching.

“Young man, you’re quite good. If you work hard at the Pill Alliance, you’ll eventually make a name for yourself.” East Pole King, unfazed by Fang Lin’s disdainful gaze, said with a smile.

Fang Lin nodded, saluted East Pole King with a clasped hand gesture, and subtly avoided another attempt by the old man to wipe his hands on him.

East Pole King laughed heartily, then disappeared from sight.

With both Heaven Kings gone, the crowd still felt oppressed by the residual strength of the two great kings.

“Gentlemen, let’s continue the meeting,” Elder Tianhong said, looking up at the huge hole in the ceiling of the hall with a somewhat helpless expression.

However, after the upheaval caused by the two Heaven Kings, everyone was somewhat restless, and even as the meeting continued, it felt somewhat lackluster.

Just then, a message from Fall Demon Cliff disturbed the somewhat quiet Ancient Pill Court.
