Chapter 150: Commotion in the Valley of the Medicine Masters

Crash!!

As the crowd looked on, the middle-aged man who had been charging ferociously toward the youth suddenly fell head-first to the ground, and his body skidded forward along the ground for some distance with the force of his momentum before it stopped.

The three feet of green haze that had burst forth from his body died away, just like a fire that had been extinguished.

The prior scene of the disciple of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who had stood up for Chen Dandan was playing out again, but this time it caused an even greater shock, causing all the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters present to stare in stupefaction. There was a deathly silence over the whole scene.

Pak!

It was only when the small metal sword flew whistling back, transforming back into the sword sphere as it returned to Zhou Donghuang’s hand, that the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters began to regain their wits, exhaling a breath of cold air in unison.

“Second elder … is dead?”

Under the gaze of the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, the middle-aged man who had been charging forward till he had mysteriously fallen dead was lying on the ground with no trace of life, a ghastly wound between his brows, fresh blood still streaming from the wound.

Evidently, this was the fatal wound.

“Just now, I think I heard a brief whistling sound like a sword!”

“I heard it too.”

“You all probably didn’t notice earlier … that thing in Zhou Donghuang’s hand, that small metal sphere, suddenly transformed into a small sword like a dagger which he threw at Second Elder? I think Second Elder was killed by that small metal sword.”

“If that was really the case, the speed of that small metal sword had to be incredibly fast. I actually did not see anything.”

…

As the whispering continued, the gazes of the crowd left the corpse of Chen Tianhe, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters and landed on the youth.

The youth was dressed in clothes whiter than snow, his left hand held behind his back, his right hand toying with a small metal sphere.

Earlier many people had noticed the small metal sphere in the youth’s hand, but they never imagined that sphere could transform into a sword that could kill the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters in a single strike.

“He … he … ”

When the youth who had brought Zhou Donghuang there, the disciple of the Valley of the Medicine Masters Huang Mingfeng, saw that Zhou Donghuang had killed the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters Chen Tianhe, he was so frightened that he unconsciously took several steps back, as though he were afraid that others would draw a connection between him and Zhou Donghuang.

“He … is done for.”

Although Zhou Donghuang had displayed an extraordinary level of ability and killed the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was not the strongest in the Valley of the Medicine Masters in terms of ability.

That is to say, there were several other middle Connate-stage adepts in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, as well as the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who was a late Connate-stage adept and was acknowledged as the most powerful adept in the area surrounding the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley!

“Father?”

As the gazes of the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, as well as that of the elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters whose arm had been maimed, fell on the sword sphere in the youth’s hand, Chen Dandan came around from the shocking scene before her eyes.

“Father!!”

When she realized that her father Chen Tianhe had been killed by the youth, Chen Dandan let out an earth-shaking wail, and rushed to the side of Chen Tianhe’s corpse, despair flooding her eyes.

Chen Dandan was actually apathetic towards her biological father who had suddenly appeared.

If he had been a beggar, Chen Dandan would not have acknowledged him even if she were beaten to death.

But because he was the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, of such exalted status in the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, Chen Dandan was happy to acknowledge him as her father and to put on a show of being an obedient daughter.

Chen Dandan’s sorrow and pain were not because of Chen Tianhe’s death, but because she had suddenly lost the greatest pillar of strength in her life.

Even if the Valley of the Medicine Masters allowed her to remain in the Valley of the Medicine Masters following Chen Tianhe’s death, as a gesture of respect for him, Chen Dandan’s status in the Valley of the Medicine Masters would take an abyssal plunge.

Chen Dandan could not accept this reality.

After confirming that Chen Tianhe was truly dead, Chen Dandan suddenly jerked her head up, looking at the youth standing nearby with a savage glare as she said through gritted teeth, “Zhou Donghuang, you dare kill my father? The Valley of the Medicine Masters will not let you off!”

And as though accompanying Chen Dandan’s words, that elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters whose arm had been maimed by Zhou Donghuang used his right arm to take a small bamboo cylinder from his pocket, and a signal flare rose into the sky and exploded in the air.

Bang!!

This signal flare was something that only the Connate-stage-and-above seniors of the Valley of the Medicine Masters possessed, and each of them had only one. They could only request a new one upon expending the one that they already had.

This kind of signal flare was only to be used when there was mortal danger.

Although this elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was in no mortal danger, this was the only way he could warn the other powerful Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“Elder Li has sent the signal flare.”

“Today, this youth is going to have his wings clipped.”

“Once the signal flare is sent out, even the Valley Master will rush over if he sees it.”

…

Just as the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters were shocked by the signal flare, everywhere throughout the Valley of the Medicine Masters those who had heard the signal flare or seen the fireworks bursting out of the signal flare were shocked into action.

Especially the senior leadership of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who were Connate-stage adepts and above.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Four huge figures swooped out from the four observation towers around the Valley of the Medicine Masters, heading directly for the location of the signal flare.

“It’s the training grounds!”

The four huge figures belonged to four flying demons, and from their huge figures and speed, they were evidently Great Consummation flying demons of Qi-gathering.
