C279 Stealing Pills
Everyone was immersed in the fragrance, feeling warm in the sun.
The capital of Shenglan Ancient Country suddenly became lively. Initially, because of the Silver Army, everyone had returned to their rooms. However, the sudden appearance of such a fragrance immediately made many people restless.
Some curious people had already started to investigate the source of this pill fragrance.
"What pill is this that is so magical?" Someone said greedily while smelling the pill fragrance. His eyes were full of greed. It was as if he wanted to take the pill for himself.
"I don't know. I didn't think that there would be such a pill in this world. I've never heard of it before!"
"I think that this should be a medicinal pill refined by the Grand Hospital." Some people began to speculate. In the entire capital, the place where alchemists gathered the most was the Grand Hospital. No one dared to say that the Grand Hospital was number two. To be able to refine such a pill, it must be the work of the Grand Hospital. Only the royal family had the qualifications to do so.
"Then let's go and take a look!" Someone looked in the direction of the imperial palace.
"Could it be that you are crazy? That is the Imperial Palace, how can it be seen just by looking? If you are discovered, it will be a crime to kill your head." Someone waved his hand and said. Although he was curious, his life was still more important.
"The pill should have succeeded!" Lou Lanqu looked at the closed door of the Tai Hua Hospital and said.
At this time, Lou Lanqu and Ye Shengyun both stood up.
"Open!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand. The nine pill furnaces opened at the same time. Nine pills floated up from within. The pills were crystal clear, as smooth as fat.
Nine pills, one to the Ninth Grade realm.
Nine Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pills.
The medicinal pills rotated, absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth. A thick fragrance of medicinal pills assailed the nostrils.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out in the night sky. Under the loud bang, it was as if the Milky Way had collapsed and the stars of the nine heavens had fallen. The rumbling sound lingered without end.
"Someone is here!
Ye Shengyun looked at the sky. A crack suddenly appeared in the dark sky. A black shadow descended from the sky at lightning speed. The black shadow appeared in the sky above the hospital in a flash. It opened its five fingers and grabbed at the floating pill.
"Bastard, don't be so presumptuous!"
Lou Lanqu walked through the space and appeared in front of the man. He raised his hand and struck at the black shadow in front of him. Both of their fists collided and both of them took a few steps back at the same time.
They stood in the air and glared at each other.
"How dare you come to the palace to snatch something? Today is the day of your death!" Lou Lanqu pointed at the man and gave the order. A few Dao Ancestor Stage warriors appeared in the surroundings.
"So you guys were prepared for this!" The man in black glanced at the Daofather and said coldly.
"That's right. Today, I will make sure that you never return. Take him down for me!" As soon as Lou Lanqu finished speaking, the few of them attacked at the same time. The Daofather's attack tore the heavens and the earth apart. Space rumbled, and the entire world seemed to be crushed by reality. It caused everyone to feel stifled and aggrieved.
The five fingers condensed into a claw, and the man grabbed towards the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man suddenly stomped his foot in the air, and his body began to scatter. Xiao Chen's black smoke also dissipated.
"It's all divine sense!" Lou Lanqu looked at the black shadow that had disappeared in front of him and said indifferently. This should be a test of the enemy, to see if they were on guard.
"How is Lord Lou?" Ye Shengyun asked.
"The situation is not good. The newcomer should be testing us. Now is the crucial moment." Lou Lanqu frowned. He never thought that there would really be someone who wasn't afraid of death in order to seize the Heaven's Fortune Pill. "Young master, when will you be able to finish concocting the pill?"
"Nine hours!" Xiao Chen said.
Nine hours? It was equivalent to refining until dawn.
"Understood!"
Lou Lanqu nodded. They were going to stay here for the night.
"Come out. Since you are here, why hide?" old servant looked at the night sky and said. Lou Lanqu and the others also looked at the sky. Suddenly, the night sky was full of light. It was as if the sun was rising in the sky. When the light shone down, the entire palace became bright. The day turned upside down and the night receded.
"Expert of Dao Lord!"
Ye Shengyun looked at the sky. He didn't feel anything wrong with this pressure. This was the Expert of Dao Lord. A person slowly emerged from the light. He wore a white mask and white clothes. Many experts had also appeared around this person. These people were basically all Daofathers.
"I never thought that there would be so many hidden Daofathers in Shenglan Ancient Country." Lou Lanqu looked up into the sky and said. He had never noticed this before. He never thought that the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill would actually draw these people out.
"We don't want to be enemies with the imperial family. Hand over the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill and we will live in peace. Otherwise, today will not be a peaceful day." The person slowly spoke. His voice was extremely old and hoarse, as if he was an old monster that had been asleep for a long time.
"Impudent! How can the imperial palace tolerate your insolence? Today, I will let all of you know who is the true master of Shenglan Ancient Country." Ye Shengyun pointed at the sky and said.
These people were actually behaving so atrociously in the Imperial Palace. They really thought that they could do whatever they wanted with their cultivation base. They thought that they were invincible in this world.
"Kill!"
A voice rang out from above. The simple word 'kill' carried terrifying power. In an instant, all the buildings within a thousand meter radius of the imperial hospital and the surrounding buildings were completely wiped out. They turned into powder and dissipated. Under the pressure of the Daofather, they simply couldn't withstand it at all.
Fortunately, they had dispersed the people around them. Otherwise, no one would have been able to escape from this angry shout.
"Kill!"
Ye Shengyun and the others didn't give up.
A man stepped forward from the sky. He was like a peerless immortal, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding a sword. Under the bright moonlight, a cold light appeared. It made people shiver in fear.
"Courting death!"
Ye Shengyun jumped up and a golden spear appeared in his hand. The spear unleashed an invincible force.
"Bright Moon Shrouded the Sky."
The man who came down from the sky raised his long sword and slashed down. The tip of the sword was surrounded by a faint light. As the light flashed, it drew a curved arc. It looked like a crescent moon.
A white light flashed and the crescent suddenly expanded. It was 30 meters wide and felt as if it was going to split the palace in half. The sword Qi descended like the pressure of a mountain.
"Look at the spear."
Ye Shengyun shouted. He held the spear with both hands. The tip of the spear was pointed downwards. A dazzling flame was ignited on the tip of the spear. In an instant, the entire spear was ignited. He waved the spear and thrust it out. A fire dragon roared furiously, and a furious dragon soared into the sky. The roar shook the nine heavens.
The fire dragon was a thousand feet long and hovered in the sky. The flames lit up the sky and the stars became dim.
The giant dragon opened its mouth and felt that it was going to swallow the sky into its stomach. It swallowed the arc of light. The sword light was swallowed by the fire dragon. The flames burned and the fire dragon's body suddenly expanded.
Ten thousand swords were released, and the sword's body was burning with flames. Flames flew everywhere, and it was as if a rain of stars was falling down from the sky.
"Are they setting off fireworks?"
"How is it possible that there are so many fireworks!" Someone said in astonishment. The firework was dazzling, illuminating the entire capital. The fire dragon dispersed, and the sword light dissipated. Ye Shengyun waved his spear and thrust it at the man. The spear was like a dragon, and the spear trembled slightly as if it was about to leave his hand and attack his opponent.
The spear thrust forward. The tip of the spear erupted with flames like a volcano.
The sky was covered with a layer of flames, like a huge fire net that was going to envelop the capital. The flames fell from the sky and the Silver Army below immediately started to work. These flames burned the houses and had to be put out immediately.
The enemy looked at the flames and took a step back. With a thrust of his sword, a huge hole appeared in the sky. The tip of the sword circled around the hole, and a vortex appeared. In the blink of an eye, the flames were all sucked into the black vortex.2
Then, a pillar of fire shot down from the vortex. It was as if a hole had appeared in the sky, and lava flowed out of the hole.
Ye Shengyun's eyes narrowed. His magical body appeared behind him. With a cry of an eagle, he spread his wings and wrapped them around Ye Shengyun. The flames engulfed Ye Shengyun.
Ye Shengyun was like a burning fireball in the sky.
"Third grandpa!" Ye Hanluo looked at the sky worriedly.
"Girl, you don't have to worry. Prince Xian cultivates fire martial skills and cultivation techniques. Fire is not a threat to him." old servant said. Ye Shengyun was a master of fire control when he was young. Back then, they all thought that Ye Shengyun would become a powerful alchemist. After all, fire control was the most important step for alchemists.
No matter how talented you are, if you can't control fire, you won't have the chance to become an alchemist.
If you can control fire, but you don't have the talent, you can make up for it with hard work.
"Open!"
The moment the wings were opened, the flames spread in all directions. Ye Shengyun swept the spear with his hand, and countless spear shadows thrust towards the person in front of him like a storm.
The spear shadows filled the sky. A cold light flashed, and it was as dazzling as a shooting star.
"Sword and shield!"
This person stood with his sword in hand. His long sword was raised, and a circular shield suddenly appeared on the blade of his sword. There were seven inscriptions on the shield, and eight array formations. In the middle of the shield was a hexagram pattern.
The shield appeared, and the spear shadows fell down, blocking the outside.
"So it's you!" Ye Shengyun immediately recognized the person when he saw the shield. This shield was this person's magical body.
"That's right!"
The person admitted it calmly, but he didn't take off his mask even if he did. The two of them knew each other well. Ye Shengyun didn't point out the person's identity, and the person didn't reveal his true identity.
"He has been recognized. Why did he do that?" Liang Yiyi asked. Since he had been recognized, there was no need to be so pretentious. He could just take off his mask and reveal his true face. Could it be that the dignified Daofather didn't even have the slightest bit of courage?
"No!"
old servant said with a smile. There were too many things involved here.
Even if Ye Shengyun knew the identity of the person who came, he was afraid that he wouldn't tell anyone, because once he did, Shenglan Ancient Country would be in chaos.
There were some things that could only be understood but not said out loud. After today's incident, no matter what the result was, everyone would choose to ignore today's incident. Tomorrow, everyone would have their own matters as if nothing had happened.
"Is it that complicated?" Liang Yiyi scratched her head and said.
"It has been like this since ancient times, especially since the dynasty is too deep. A Daofather clan must have a powerful influence in Shenglan Ancient Country. Think about it, if all of these people's identities are exposed, what will happen to Shenglan Ancient Country?"
old servant said with a smile.
If all of these people's identities were exposed, Shenglan Ancient Country would definitely fall into great chaos, and it might even perish at that time.
"This should be the old Marquis of the Marquis Palace of Wei Yuan!" Ye Hanluo looked at the sky and said. Although she had deliberately concealed her identity with her sword, she could easily tell from that move.
Lou Lanqu nodded. "The princess is right. It is indeed the old duke. Back then, the Wei Yuan Marquis Estate was the king of thousands of miles of hard work. He made great contributions to the Shenglan Ancient Country and was conferred the title of Marquis Wei Yuan. I heard that the old duke did not have a complete part of his body at that time. He was riddled with injuries and fought his way out of the army."
Lou Lanqu said with admiration.
