760 Saint King Pill! Dead End! (1/2)

Mei Xue Yan's brows were tightly furrowed and laden with worry. She could guess very accurately that right now, the people who would affect Jun Mo Xie the most was undoubtedly Dongfang Wen Xin first, followed by his grandfather Jun Zhan Tian; after that, it would be her or his Third Uncle Jun Wu Yi.

Unless the enemy was willing to commit the most despicable sin under the heavens and directly deal with the entire Jun Family! But from Mei Xue Yan's experiences, Saint-level experts would never stoop to that level.

But if their target was Jun Zhan Tian, they could have already acted in these few days while they were gone. Since they hadn't done anything so far, their target was likely herself or Dongfang Wen Xin!

Mei Xue Yan thought of all this in an instant and quickly made the necessary preparations.

This was the reason why she had arranged for Dugu Xiao Yi and Guan Qing Han to be in another area in case a fight broke out and they became caught up in it. With these two girls' cultivation, even the slightest ripple would be too much for them to bear!

Since Jun Mo Xie was not around now, Mei Xue Yan was responsible for keeping everyone safe!

This was her responsibility, one that she had to take up!

Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, but when they saw how serious Mei Xue Yan was, they sensed that something big was about to happen. The two of them felt a chill in their hearts and they obediently nodded. They were already filled with admiration for Mei Xue Yan, so they knew that she definitely had her reasons for making such arrangements. Naturally, they would not raise any objections.

At this time, Mei Xue Yan did not have the stomach for anything at all.

Her brows were tightly furrowed as she resonated deeply… her heart was laden with worries.

Their return journey had not been fast. In fact, they were travelling at less than half the speed. Mei Xue Yan had been hoping that Jun Mo Xie would catch up to them, but he ultimately didn't show up even though they'd spent four and a half days on the journey—a full two days more than they'd taken when they set off the first time.

It was midnight, and silence reigned!

Mei Xue Yan, who'd just gotten into bed, suddenly felt a power aura rise up in a part of Tian Xiang City. With a speed akin to lightning, this aura had appeared above her own little courtyard!

”How quick! Furthermore… it's not just a single person. This is bad!” Although Mei Xue Yan felt extremely startled, her expression was calm. Sitting up slowly, she twisted her wrist, and the precious sword that Jun Mo Xie had given to her appeared in her hand. Mei Xue Yan touched the body of the blade lightly, and an intense killing intent reflected in her eyes!

Saint…

Even if the opponents were Saint-level experts, would Mei Xue Yan be scared?

A hint of gentleness and decisiveness flashed across Mei Xue Yan's eyes as she retrieved a small jade bottle from her bosom. This jade bottle was small and was only about the size of a thumb. Inside, were three golden objects each the size of a soybean.

Saint King Pills!

This bottle held the the trump card of Tian Fa; they were divine objects that had been kept for the past ten thousand years. For the last ten thousand years, no one had ever dared to consume them before! It wasn't that the pills could not be consumed. Rather, no one dared to use them!

The three Saint King Pills were something that the first generation Saint King of Tian Fa created by condensing all his residual essence blood and Origin energy upon his death! Its effects far exceeded Xuan Cores. Once consumed, it would allow the user to explode forth with over 10 times more power for a short time! Using this power, one could kill all their enemies in an instant!

However, the price for obtaining such power was also extremely heavy! In fact, it was so great that not everyone could afford to pay it!

And that price was one's own life and cultivation!

Once consumed, these three Saint King Pills would grant enormous power. But regardless of what one's cultivation was, there would only be one result. All the meridians in the user's body would be broken, and their Xuan cultivation would be crippled! She would be reverted back to her original form and turn into an ordinary Xuan Beast not even comparable to a level three Xuan Beast!

In the worst case scenario, her soul would directly be extinguished!

Even if it was the current generation's Saint King, the result would be the same!

This was a kind of pill that went by the concept ”if you want to vanquish your enemy, you must first perish!”

The pills had already gone through tens of generations by the time they landed in Mei Xue Yan's hands! Even the jade bottle that contained the pills had become worn and faded after so long. From this, one could see how many Tian Fa Beast Kings had taken this bottle out and considered the idea of consuming the pills throughout the years. However, no one could do it ultimately!

But at this critical moment, Mei Xue Yan had not hesitated to take them out!

Since Jun Mo Xie was not around, the safety of the Jun Family was upon her shoulders! She would never allow Jun Family members to meet any sort of accident during this period of time! The reason being, she… was a part of the Jun Family!

This is Jun Mo Xie's responsibility, and his responsibility is naturally mine as well!

Mei Xue Yan's beautiful eyes shone with determination. She lifted the treasured sword that Jun Mo Xie had given to her and kissed it lightly. Her face was filled with unending longing, reluctance, and gentleness. She pointed her fingers at the wall and carved a line of words onto it. ”From today onwards, the orders of Jun Mo Xie is also my, Mei Xue Yan's, orders! No beasts of Tian Fa are allowed to defy him!”

Right after she finished carving the words, she suddenly felt an enormous pressure above her head. Three powerful forces smashed down from the top, and the roofs of all the small buildings in the courtyard was blasted into the sky with a hong sound!

Following that, a huge hand appeared out of the air, grabbing the sleeping Dongfang Wen Xin!

Mei Xue Yan laughed coldly, and the sword sheath flew out of her hand. The blade of the sword shone with a menacing glint, morphing into a ferocious dragon made out of swordlight. With her sleeves fluttering wildly, she jumped into the air and stabbed fiercely towards that palm!
