Hidden Charm City
← Ch.1021 | Ch.1023 → |
At this moment, the Pill Alliance's President was sitting beside Elder Tie's bed. His eyes revealed a trace of surprise and joy. He could detect that although Elder Tie's condition had not improved, it had not deteriorated any further!
"Could it be" The Pill Alliance's president suddenly revealed an incredulous expression. Thinking of Kong Yun's ten-day agreement with him, could it be that this brat really did it?
"Guild Leader, could it be something?"
A cheap smile suddenly appeared on Kong Yun's face, pulling the pondering Pill Alliance president back to reality.
"Kong ... Kong Yun, you ... you really succeeded?" The Pill Alliance President was pleasantly surprised. His facial features were like a blooming flower. No one could understand the Pill Alliance President's excitement at this moment.
Kong Yun nodded and clasped his fists, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
"Good! Good!" The Pill Alliance's president said heavily, looking at Kong Yun with a look of relief in his eyes.
"Then ... can Old Tie be saved in this situation?" The Pill Alliance's Guild Leader asked again.
Kong Yun took a step forward and summoned the figures of the Emperor Demon God and Lie Feng from the Blood Gold Temple to lie down with Elder Tie. At this moment, the situation of the three of them was almost the same.
"Guild Leader, I can talk to them, but" Kong Yun said with some difficulty. His heart of death was his secret, and he didn't want the Pill Alliance's Guild Leader to know. Kong Yun didn't do this because he didn't trust the Pill Alliance's Guild Leader, but because he was afraid that it would bring him danger. After all, the Heart of Death was one of the Heaven and Earth Origin Stones, and there were too many experts coveting it. It might not be a good thing for the Pill Alliance President to know about this matter.
Although Kong Yun did not say anything, the Pill Alliance's president naturally understood. After laughing, he pushed open the door and left the room.
Kong Yun took a deep breath and took out another corpse from the Blood Gold Temple. His eyes narrowed as he waved his hands. A gray crystal slowly appeared in the mural.
"Hmph." Kong Yun let out a muffled snort as he controlled the Heart of Death to float beside the three of them. Kong Yun was now considered half the owner of the Heart of Death, so it was very easy for him to absorb the Death Qi from the three of them.
The drag of the Heart of Death on the Qi of Death far exceeded Kong Yun's imagination. In just an instant, the haze on the faces of Old Tie and Old Man Tian had been swept away.
A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Kong Yun himself did not expect that things would go so smoothly.
After putting the Heart of Death back in the mural, Kong Yun coughed twice. Controlling the Heart of Death was not easy for Kong Yun.
After doing all this, Kong Yun pushed open the door. The Pill Alliance's president was pacing back and forth at the door, looking very anxious.
"Guild Leader." Kong Yun shouted.
Hearing Kong Yun's voice, the Pill Alliance's president immediately turned his head, and the hope in his eyes could not be concealed.
"How is it?"
Kong Yun nodded, a confident smile hanging on his face, very calm.
The Pill Alliance's president slapped his thigh heavily and entered the room. He discovered that the death energy in Elder Tie's body had completely dissipated. He hadn't woken up yet and was just waiting for his life force to slowly recover.
"Stay here and watch. I'll go to the Pill Alliance to refine a few pills for them to take!" The Pill Alliance's president danced like a child. Kong Yun had never seen someone as calm as him since he arrived at the ninth level of the Divine Dao.
After saying that, the Pill Alliance's president excitedly left. Kong Yun chuckled and returned to his room to cultivate.
One day passed, and Kong Yun opened his eyes again. He was in a perfect state, as if he had merged into this space. Suddenly, he heard a sound. Kong Yun knew that it was the Pill Alliance's president, so he immediately stood up to welcome him.
"Quick, give them these three pills." The Pill Alliance's president spoke very quickly. Kong Yun took a glance. The three pills in his hand were genuine grade eight pills. The vitality flowing on them made Kong Yun swallow a mouthful of saliva.
However, Kong Yun naturally wouldn't swallow it alone. He came to Tie Lao San and helped them up. He slapped his palm and the pill entered his stomach through his throat.
After the medicinal pill entered their bodies, they could clearly see the originally ashen faces of the three people slowly turning red, and the vitality in their bodies gradually revived.
"Eighth grade pills are indeed formidable." Kong Yun exclaimed.
After half an incense stick of time passed, Lie Feng and Emperor Demon God woke up almost at the same time. After all, the two of them hadn't been affected by the Qi of Death for a long time, so they woke up faster than Elder Tie.
Both of them caressed their foreheads. Seeing Kong Yun and the Pill Alliance's president standing at the side, they remembered what had happened in the ancient tomb under He He Yang City. Only then did they know that Kong Yun had saved them again.
Standing up, the two of them were pleasantly surprised to discover that the power of Laws in their bodies had actually increased by a lot compared to before. One had to know that the two of them were both Highgod Realm experts now. If it were anyone else, such an increase would definitely require a hundred years of accumulation. After a calamity, their realms would still be raised. At this moment, the two of them were extremely excited.
"Judging from the current situation, Elder Tie should be waking up soon. Let's go out first." Kong Yun chuckled.
The Pill Alliance's president nodded. He could feel the slowly recovering vitality in Elder Tie's body. All he needed to do was wait patiently.
After leaving Elder Tie's room, the Pill Alliance's president stared at Kong Yun with a smile. This smile seemed to Kong Yun to be a little creepy.
"Kong Yun, look ... He He Yang City is fine. Shall we call back the martial artists and powers that used to live in He He Yang City?" The Pill Alliance's president chuckled.
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Pill Alliance President with a strange gaze. It seemed that he was going to have to go to work. However, he was also a member of the Pill Alliance Association. Naturally, he could not reject the Pill Alliance President.
"Where did the Guild Leader arrange them?" Kong Yun asked.
Seeing Kong Yun's question, the Pill Alliance's Guild Leader understood that Kong Yun had already agreed, and his eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.
"A few days ago, I asked the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master and the Cloudsoaring Pavilion Master to lead a group of martial practitioners and residents of He He Yang City to Luo Imperial City and Hidden Charm City respectively. What do you think?"
Kong Yun nodded. Kong Yun understood that He He Yang City was the foundation of the Pill Alliance. The Guild Leader would never give up.
"I'll go to Hidden Rhyme City." Kong Yun was the first to speak, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
The Pill Alliance President was stunned for a moment. One had to know that the Hidden Rhyme City was led by the Myriad Sword Sect. Kong Yun and the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master had always been at odds. Kong Yun actually took the initiative to request to go to the Hidden Rhyme City, which undoubtedly surprised the Pill Alliance President.
Actually, it was Kong Yun's intention. Kong Yun could already vaguely feel that he was not far from going to the God Realm. Before that, it was best to deal with all the grievances. If Sect Leader Wanjian Sect cooperated with him, it would be fine. If he didn't cooperate, Kong Yun wouldn't mind letting him suffer.
The Pill Alliance's president did not reject Kong Yun's request. Since Kong Yun chose to do so, he definitely had his own thoughts.
The Pill Alliance's president left behind the few servants he had left in the Pill Alliance to take care of Elder Tie. Kong Yun left for Luo Imperial City one step ahead of schedule. Kong Yun waited for the Emperor Demon God and Lie Feng to fully recover before leaving.
Kong Yun did not use the power of the spatial rift. The three of them only flew through the air. According to the map that the Pill Alliance's president had printed in his sea of consciousness, Hidden Charm City was a thousand miles away from He He Yang City. They could arrive in a day's time.
"If that old fellow from the Myriad Sword Sect dares to be as arrogant as before, I won't break his leg!" Emperor Demon God said angrily. He remembered that he and the others had been chased away by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect when they first arrived in He He Yang City.
The corner of Kong Yun's mouth curled into a smile, and then he said, "The greatest difficulty of our operation this time is not in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"Huh?" Emperor Demon God and Lie Feng looked at Kong Yun at the same time, puzzled.
"Most of the martial artists in Heyang City are alchemists. You should know how precious alchemists are. If you were the city lords of Hidden Charm City, would you let these alchemists go easily?"
After Kong Yun finished speaking, both Emperor Demon God and Lie Feng were stunned, and their expressions became serious.
"Just watch. Things will become very interesting." Kong Yun smiled.
Inside Hidden Rhyme City, Kong Yun and the others were walking on the streets. Looking at the prosperity on both sides, Emperor Demon God smiled bitterly."The prosperity here was given by He He Yang City. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this small city to achieve this." Kong Yun nodded, "Let's find a place to live first."
Then the three of them came to an inn and said, "Waiter, come to three good rooms." The Emperor Demon God shouted loudly.
"My apologies, sir. We are already full. Please go somewhere else and ask." Emperor Demon God turned around and looked at Kong Yun. Kong Yun stood up and walked out of the inn.
The three of them asked about two more places, but the result was the same as the first one."What's going on? Why are they all full?"
"I suspect that the people from He He Yang City have filled up this place." Hearing this, Emperor Demon God nodded.
Not only that, with the influx of people, prices and rooms in Hidden Rhyme City increased rapidly, about tenfold. This news shocked Kong Yun. This wasn't a problem for the rich, but it was a nightmare for the poor.
"Since that's the case, let's go to the edge and take a look." Afterwards, the three of them arrived at the edge of the city and found a small inn to stay in. Most of the people living here were poor, but the prices were not comparable at all, similar to those of the big inns in the past.
After the three of them settled down, Lie Feng and Emperor Demon God came to Kong Yun's room."Before I came, I received news that the strongest alchemist in this batch was a Tier 7 alchemist named Lan Xin. She was a woman. Although she was a woman, her personality was strange and she didn't even give face to Sect Master Wanjian Sect."
