Chapter 152 - The Valley Lord Is Here! (1/2)

Zhou Donghuang was unfazed by Chen Dandan’s threats and maintained his amused gaze at the two old men.

The two Sentinels of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. The valley’s strongest duo, second only to the Valley Lord.

As for the Head Elder Yu Meiqin, Zhou Donghuang was no longer looking at her. He had noticed that she most likely had recognized the sword orb he held in his hand.

“This kid … ”

At this moment the two Sentinels, sensing the contempt in Zhou Donghuang’s eyes, stepped forward with grave facial expressions and murderous looks, as if they were ready to attack.

“My two brothers!”

Yu Meiqin took two steps forward, blocking the way in front of the two old men. She spoke to them in a suppressed voice, “This Zhou Donghuang’s little metal ball looks to be the legendary ‘sword sphere’ that only martial adepts of the middle Primal Core stage and above are able to refine.”

The two old men had not received any message from the Valley Lord and had come only because they heard the flares, so they did not fully know the specifics of what had happened earlier.

However, as they were atop their flying beasts on the way over, they began hearing from several valley elders and disciples surrounding the training grounds regarding the murder of the valley’s Second Elder Chen Tianhe at the hands of the young man.

Of course, what they had heard was that the young man, using a hidden weapon, had snuck up on a defenseless Chen Tianhe, and thus was able to kill him.

They had entered the sky above the training grounds just in time to hear the young man humiliating and insulting words towards the Valley Lord.

And it was at that moment that the anger in their hearts burned rapidly.

Now, seeing the disdain in the young man’s gaze towards them, how could they stomach this?

“Sword sphere?!”

Hearing Yu Meiqin’s warning, the pupils in the duo’s eyes constricted and their facial expressions changed in an instant.

As two of the oldest members of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, they knew what sword spheres were. That was a legendary item, a treasure that only martial adepts of the Primal Core stage and above were able to refine.

A Connate elementary martial adept, armed with a sword sphere, could easily kill a Connate intermediate martial adept.

Even a Connate advanced martial adept, if not properly prepared, would most likely fall to a Connate elementary martial adept who wielded a sword sphere and knew how to use it.

“Does he know how to use the sword sphere?” the rotund old man, the valley’s Left Sentinel Wang Tao, asked in a hushed voice.

“The Second Elder died by the sword that that sword sphere converts to … what do you think?”

Yu Meiqin smiled gravely.

“So, the hidden weapon they mentioned was actually a sword sphere. They mentioned a sneak attack … but if a Connate elementary adept has a sword sphere and knows how to use it, why even bother with a sneak attack to kill a Connate intermediate adept?”

The skinny old man, the valley’s Right Sentinel Yu Wei, had a very heavy look on his face.

At this point, the duo had absolutely no more inclination to make a move on the young man.

Are you kidding me!

This young man not only had a sword sphere but knew how to use it as well. Were they to attack they would definitely end up dead.

Unless they were able to raise their level to the Connate advanced level, and under careful circumstances, even if their opponent had a sword sphere and knew how to use it, they might be able to defeat him and perhaps even kill him!

“What? You two are familiar with this sword sphere as well?” Seeing the duo’s eyes directed at the sword sphere with looks of trepidation, Zhou Donghuang stared at them and asked, feigning surprise.

“Looks like you definitely received the essence of the Primal Core adept. Otherwise, you would not possess this sword sphere, which only martial adepts of the Primal Core stage and above can refine,” Yu Meiqin stated.

This was not the first or even the second time Zhou Donghuang had been mistaken for having received the essence of a Primal Core adept, so, hearing Yu Meiqin’s words, brushed them off and did not even think to explain.

Of course.

This person in front of him was not even worthy of Zhou Donghuang opening his mouth to explain.

“Little Sister Yu, why is the Valley Lord not here yet?” the Left Sentinel Wang Tao inquired of Yu Meiqin.

“I’m not sure … ordinarily speaking, the Valley Lord should have been here by now.”

Yu Meiqin shook her head, and with a sharp flash in her eye said, “I will leave to look for the Valley Lord. My two brothers, please keep an eye on this Zhou Donghuang.”

“If possible, try not to engage with him. The sword sphere in his hands is too disturbing.”

As Yu Meiqin spoke, she saw Wang Tao and Yu Wei nod. Only then did she produce a leaf from her bosom and blow on it.

As the sound rang out, Yu Meiqin’s flying beast mount swooped down from the sky, collected Yu Meiqin and departed the training grounds, heading directly for the residence of Valley Lord Su Mo.

On the way, Yu Meiqin came across a valley elder riding a flying beast and coming from the direction of Su Mo’s residence.

“Elder Yuan, you’ve been to see the Valley Lord?”

“Head Elder.”

Elder Yuan, upon seeing Yu Meiqin, greeted the Head Elder respectfully and said with a wry smile, “I went to see the Valley Lord but did not get a response. He must have been too immersed in his training.”

“I figured you and the two Sentinels should be able to take care of the issue facing our valley, so I did not want to disturb the Valley Lord further.”

Hearing Elder Yuan’s words, Yu Meiqin managed a bitter smile, “Neither I nor the two Sentinels are a match for him.”

Under Elder Yuan’s startled look, Yu Meiqin departed on her flying beast and soon came to land at the residence of Su Mo, the Valley Lord of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.
