Chapter 153 - Master!? (1/2)

Ah!

A giant flying beast like a shaft of fast lightning flew from the surroundings into the skies of the martial arts field. At the same time, it slowed down its speed to a comfortable one and landed on the ground.

This flying beast was no stranger to the people of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. They were, after all, mounted by the head elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. Presently, this very flying beast was being mounted by two figures. Other than the Valley of the Medicine Masters’s head elder, another person was also standing on its back, even standing before the head elder himself.

A woman with feather-like, snow-white hair and a child-like, ruddy complexion, the Valley of the Medicine Masters’ head elder, Yu Meiqin, was clustered together with a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had on an elegant grey coat, giving off an aura of grace and calmness just like royalty. His body gave off a unique, charismatic aura characteristic of a mature gentleman.

Upon seeing him, several of the female guest elders and disciples all became starry-eyed.

“All hail Your Highness!”

One of the people raised his voice to call out respectfully. With such a call, the entire practicing field sprung up. All the present guest elders and disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters bowed towards the flying beast, which was carrying the middle-aged man, and showed their respect.

“All hail Your Highness!”

“All hail Your Highness!”

…

A chorus of respectful voices filled the air and rang out in the martial arts field. Afterwards, even the entire Valley of the Medicine Masters’s surrounding mountains and valleys echoed the same call as well, forming an impressively thunderous chorus in overall.

“Zhou Donghuang, our Valley of the Medicine Masters’s Your Highness, is here… Today, even if you have a sword pill left behind by that inferior spirit weapon warrior, you will definitely face death!”

Seeing as the faraway flying beast was nearing them while carrying the charismatic, middle-aged man riding on its back, Chen Dandan’s eyes shone while he cast a cold glance across the youth and spoke in a chilling voice.

“Nevertheless, you can all relax… Today, if you fold in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, I will instruct my fellow brothers to take a trip to the country of Yunyang for you to reunite with that bastard, Song Linlan, while traveling on the Huangquan Road…”

Chen Dandan previously had been too scared to speak up. However, now, things were different as she finally saw that their Valley of the Medicine Masters’ ruler had arrived.

While speaking, the corners of Chen Dandan’s mouth turned up, and a vicious smile appeared on her face as an evil look appeared in her eyes. To her, there were only two possible endings of today. She would either die here or be caught by the Valley of the Medicine Masters and be killed after she took on the chance encounter she gained from the inferior spirit weapon warrior..

The Valley of the Medicine Masters could not possibly allow such a large threat to survive.

Yet, reality took Chen Dandan by surprise. Originally, according to him, Zhou Donghuang should have been enraged by her words. Instead, once Zhou Donghuang heard her speak, she was not angered but instead laughed out loud.

“Chen Dandan… Do you know why I haven’t taken any action towards you all this time?” Zhou Donghuang asked cheerily.

“Ah?” Chen Dandan furrowed her brows.

Zhou Donghuang’s words confused Chen Dandan greatly.

Ever since the youth had personally killed her father, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Chen Tianhe, had not taken any further action. It was a little strange as the numbers grew in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and they had all slowly gathered together.

Not only had he stopped her attacks against the general people, but she had also halted her attacks against Chen Dandan. She had not thought about this point before but now that it dawned upon her, she found it rather strange.

Chen Dandan questioned internally what she would do if she were in the youth’s shoes. If she were to be in his position, she would leave everything behind and run for her life in order to escape death instead of staying put and waiting to be killed!

“Because…”

Just as Chen Dandan’s brows furrowed, the corners of Zhou Donghuang’s mouth turned up into a cocky smile. “I’m prepared for when you’ve lost all hope, for when you hate yourself and everything around you to take action and kill you then!”

Chen Dandan’s face darkened upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words. At the same time, Zhou Donghuang glanced at the approaching flying beast, which was nearing the duo from afar. “Now, in your opinion, Su Mo should be the last saving grace and hope of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, am I right?”

Just as he had spoken, the smile on Zhou Donghuang’s face became even wider and brighter.

Upon hearing these words, as well as glancing at the infuriating smile on Zhou Donghuang’s face, Chen Dandan’s own face turned pale and an uneasy feeling crept up into her heart.

“This Zhou Donghuang… Surely he could not have any connection to Your Highness!?”

“Surely Your Highness was not the one who brought him into the Valley of the Medicine Masters!”

Well, it was unsurprising that Chen Dandan felt this way and made such assumptions. In any case, up till the present, the martial arts skills that Zhou Donghuang had demonstrated were extremely admirable and awe-inspiring. His innate talent as a young 19-year-old was enough for him to earn the personal offer to enter the Valley of the Medicine Masters by Your Highness.

Not far from where Chen Dandan was, the two guardians of the Valley of the Medicine Masters overheard the conversation between Chen Dandan and Zhou Donghuang. They could not help but slightly furrow their brows as well. The thoughts running through their head were somewhat similar to that of Chen Dandan’s. It was just that they were still full of anger and resentment towards Zhou Donghuang for killing the Valley of the Medicine Masters’s second elder, Chen Tianhe. After all, Chen Tianhe had been one of the mid Connate adepts. Including Chen Tianhe, there had only been five mid Connate adepts in the entire Valley of the Medicine Masters! Now that Chen Tianhe was dead, there were only four left standing.

“If he was really specifically invited to the Valley by Your Highness… we have to follow the rules of the Valley of the Medicine Masters and punish him severely!” the fat old man, the left guardian, Wan Tao, whispered underneath his breath to his partner.

“Naturally so.” The thin old man, the right guardian, Yu Wei, nodded to show his approval.

Whoo! Whoo!

As the large, flying beast flew by in the sky, two shadows, one in front and one behind, landed neatly in the midst of a crowd of elders in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

They were the head elder, Yu Meiqin and Your Highness of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Su Mo.
