Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Kang, and the others did not expect that someone would sneak into their residence.
"Who dares to eavesdrop on us?" Wanyan Lie, who was a Half-step Sovereign, shouted.
At the same time, he slammed his palm out of the window. The strong wind blew the wall apart.
Boom!
The wall collapsed and a figure slowly walked out of the smoke. It was as if Wanyan Lie's palm had not caused any harm to this person.
Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Kang, and the others narrowed their eyes. They did not expect that Ling Xiao would show himself so soon after they mentioned him.
"I didn't expect that you would dare to come here!" Wanyan Lie spread out his Divine Telekinesis and found that Ling Xiao was the only one nearby.
He was a Half-step Sovereign. Why would he be afraid of a mere mid-level Heavenly Master?
That was obviously impossible!
"Aren't I delivering myself to your doorstep for you to kill?
I just don't know if you have the ability! "Ling Xiao said as he spread out his hands.
"Heh, heh, I didn't want to kill you in broad daylight. I didn't want people to say that our Wanyan Family is ungentlemanly. Now that you've come to us, let me take you down!" Wanyan Kang sneered and suddenly attacked Ling Xiao.
Wanyan Kang was very confident because he was a peak mid-level Heavenly Master. He also had the help of his family's elders. He felt that it was enough to take down Ling Xiao!
A powerful throat claw, with a strong wind that tore the air apart, grabbed Ling Xiao's neck.
The claw was very fast and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Ling Xiao.
"Die!" Wan Yankang shouted viciously.
Ling Xiao's dragon eyes flashed with a sharp light, and one of his hands moved quickly.
Crack!
"Ah!"
The sound of a bone breaking was the first to be heard, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
Wanyan Kang held his wrist and retreated hurriedly.
Obviously, his hand had been broken by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's fleshly body was comparable to a Sacred artefact. Would Wan Yankang's claw be able to withstand his punch?
"Do you think you can be arrogant just because you have some strength?
Let me tell you the gap between an Empyrean and an Emperor rank! "
Wanyan Lie roared, and his Emperor-ranked aura pressed down towards Ling Xiao. At the same time, his figure flickered, and a flaming palm smashed down towards Ling Xiao's chest.
His first move was an all-out attack, ready to take down Ling Xiao in the shortest time possible.
"You won't have the chance!"
Ling Xiao just stood there and responded indifferently. His body didn't even move, but his Mental Energy was already being extracted crazily.
His mental power transformed into countless blades that slashed at Wanyan Lie's sea of consciousness.
As a seventh-rank alchemist, Wanyan Lie was very sensitive to spiritual energy. However, he was too close to Ling Xiao. Even if he could sense it, he wouldn't be able to defend himself. He felt as if his sea of knowledge was being turned upside down by countless sharp blades, and his mind was in chaos.
Ah!
Wanyan Lie clutched his head and screamed miserably.
With a flash of silver light, Wanyan Lie's head was instantly chopped off!
At some point, a strange longsword had appeared in Ling Xiao's hand. A smear of bright red blood was still slowly dripping from the tip of the sword.
"You … you killed Elder Lie!" Wanyan Kang stared at Ling Xiao with his eyes wide open.
The other members of the Wanyan Family were still in a daze.
Wanyan Lie was a dignified Quasi Emperor rank expert, and he was one of the top experts in the Central Region. However, his head had been chopped off in the blink of an eye. This was simply unbelievable.
"Don't worry, all of you can go down and accompany him soon!"
Ling Xiao murmured. His figure began to move, and the Ice and Fire Sword in his hand carried bursts of blue flames as it swept towards the few people.
Two of them hadn't even recovered from their shock when their heads were chopped off.
The others didn't dare to fight against Ling Xiao, and they immediately split up and fled in different directions.
Ling Xiao was already here, so how could he let them escape?
He split his Psychic Energy into several strands and bombarded the fleeing people.
Before they could escape far, they felt a sharp pain in their Knowledge Seas, and each of them fell from the sky.
They didn't even know what had happened until they died.
"A bunch of trash dared to plot against this Young Master. They really overestimated themselves!"
Ling Xiao snorted disdainfully before collecting all their Space Rings and disappearing from the spot.
Just as Ling Xiao left, the Medicine Capital's Law Enforcement Team hurried over.
When they saw the dead Wanyan Family members who didn't have the slightest injury, they were all shocked.
"Who did it?" The Law Enforcement Elder frowned.
Another person said from the side, "Could it be Sha Tian's people again?"
"It shouldn't be. Sha Tian's people don't have the ability to kill them all silently!"
The Law Enforcement Elder said. He then said, "The Gu Family's Ancient Kill Order has just been issued, but someone actually started to take the opportunity to cause trouble. I must report this matter to the City Lord and have him send more people to guard the Medicine Capital. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Medicine Capital will be killed without mercy!"
…
"Boss, you're back?" Ye Yunfeng saw Ling Xiao return and immediately greeted him with a worried look on his face.
"En, what happened?" Ling Xiao responded.
"Boss, you went out for a whole day. More than half of the people outside have disappeared," Ye Yunfeng said anxiously.
"Just because of this?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Isn't that so?
Boss, I know you asked Uncle Liu to spread the news to recruit people, but they're already here. Why don't you meet them? "Ye Yunfeng asked puzzledly.
Ling Xiao smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Yunfeng, your cultivation is good, but … you still lack consideration when doing things. Think about it carefully and you'll understand what I mean. I'm really going to close up now. Just ask Uncle Liu to keep an eye on those people."
After saying that, Ling Xiao ignored Ye Yunfeng and asked Gu Wei to empty out the only alchemy room. He wanted to complete the three level seven missions first.
Gu Wei didn't say anything else and immediately arranged for Ling Xiao to leave.
In the alchemy room, Ling Xiao took out the three missions.
The first mission was: Seeking to purchase an Earth and Metal dual Mystic Thearch Elixir!
The second mission was: Seeking to purchase an elixir that can destroy the Heavenly Yin Meridian!
The third mission was: Seeking to purchase an elixir that can heal and restore the Spiritual Realm!
These three tasks were extremely difficult tasks for an ordinary grade seven alchemist.
The first mission was the Earth and Metal dual Mystic Thearch Elixir. This was a elixir that contained two different attributes. Ordinary alchemists felt that it was very unrealistic to want to separate their essence into one elixir.
The second mission was the Heavenly Yin Meridian, an extremely rare physique. It was similar to the Heaven Gu Body. The early stages of cultivation were extremely fast, but the lifespan was only twenty-five years. Once this age was exceeded, only death awaited.
This kind of physique was usually a body of certain death. However, there were historical records that there was a certain kind of elixir that could destroy this meridian. It was just that the speed of cultivation would become as slow as an ordinary person.
The third mission was to find a type of elixir that could restore the Spiritual Realm. It was obvious that there was a problem with the Sea of Consciousness of an Emperor and they urgently needed this kind of elixir to help.
Elixirs that could heal the Sea of Consciousness were extremely rare in any grade of elixir. Ordinary alchemists didn't know about the existence of this type of elixir. Even if they knew about it, it was extremely difficult to find high-grade spirit herbs that could repair the Sea of Consciousness.
These three missions each had their own difficulty. Ordinary seventh grade alchemists didn't accept them. The deadline for handing over the elixir was not up yet, so they had been left there.
If it was before Ling Xiao obtained the Divine Alchemist's inherited memories, he wouldn't dare to accept these three missions. That was because he didn't have the method to refine this type of elixir.
But it was different now. He had the Divine Alchemist's inherited memories. The elixir formulas and refining methods from first to eighth grade were extremely comprehensive. It was like an encyclopedia that could be used just by taking it out.
Moreover, he received a lot of benefits from the Gu Clan. Among them were some level-seven spirit herbs. Wu Fu's half of the collection also had a lot of materials. In the third level of the medicine cauldron, there were level-seven and level-eight spirit herbs that could be exchanged.
Therefore, he didn't have to worry about the materials.
However, he also planned that after completing these three missions, he would use the rewards he received to go to the Herb Hall to buy more high-grade spirit herbs in case of an emergency.
During the half-month that Ling Xiao was in closed-door training, there were many strange phenomena descending in the sky above the Gu Clan. This caused the people of the Medicine Capital to exclaim repeatedly.
They also knew that the Gu Clan had invited external help. The First Emperor Level Expert, Ling Xiao, was a genuine seventh grade alchemist. The number of rogue cultivators gathered outside the Gu Clan didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. It was really lively!
However, with the spread of the Gu Clan's Gu Kill Order, many people who were afraid of death hurriedly left with their tails between their legs.
Although they felt that following Ling Xiao wasn't bad, they didn't want to offend the Gu Clan. Moreover, that Gu Kill Order was like a life-threatening talisman. Once they were stained by it, they would certainly be in a situation where there was no chance of survival.
Everyone sighed inwardly. Perhaps, Ling Xiao was going to die young.
Ling Xiao hadn't come out of closed-door training yet. The number of people gathered outside the Gu Clan gradually decreased from several hundred to a dozen.
During this half-month, people from several big alchemy sects and aristocratic families had come to visit Ling Xiao one after another. All of them had brought a lot of gifts. It seemed that they wanted to build a good relationship with Ling Xiao. They had come to congratulate Ling Xiao on becoming a guest elder of the Dan Alliance.
On this day, people from the Medicine Sect and the Dan Faction had also come to visit.
These two factions were the leaders of the alchemy forces. It was reasonable to say that they wouldn't come to curry favor with Ling Xiao. However, they had come now.
The ones who had come to visit were unexpectedly Huo Chen and Qin Zi. Following them were the outstanding alchemists of the two factions.
Gu Wei, Gu Li, Gu Jiaojiao, and the others had no choice but to eagerly receive them.
"Zi Zi, let's go. I'm afraid that Ling Xiao won't come out of closed-door training for a while," Huo Chen said to Qin Zi.
"If you want to go, you can go first. I'm going back to the Dan Faction today. Since I have nothing to do, I'll wait for him here!" Qin Zi replied indifferently.
"Why do you have to do this?
You should know that he has a lot of female friends, "Huo Chen said with slight dissatisfaction.
"It's normal for an outstanding man to have several wives and concubines," Qin Zi replied. Her gaze then fell on Li Xue, Bing Ruoshui, and Yao Qingmin who were sitting to the side. "Are you all Ling Xiao's women?"
Before they could speak, a voice came from the back door. "Could it be that the Holy Maiden has taken a fancy to them?
This young master will not agree to your request! "
