ALL NOVEL Chapter 69
Three months later.
The sun blazed high in the sky, and clouds rolled restlessly.
A luxurious treasure ship glided through the air, looking like a massive holiday resort. Many cultivators from all over were staying aboard.
Some were brewing wine and discussing philosophy, some were gossiping, some were showing off their backgrounds, and others were simply eating and having fun.
“I can’t wait to reach Wuzhou! I’ve heard that the Medicine King Valley is about to open! I don’t want to miss this rare opportunity!”
“Hey, the competition is definitely going to be fierce. Look at this whole ship—everyone’s heading to Wuzhou!”
“Right? I heard the private room for the elite is full of Transformation Stage experts! Us Foundation Establishment little shrimp can only stand outside and catch the breeze!”
“What’s that? I heard even higher-tier private rooms have several Immortal Lords from the Undying Sect!”
“Whoa! Immortal Lords? Those are Unity Stage heavyweights!”
…
The fame of Medicine King Valley has always been shrouded in a mysterious glow in the Eastern Domain. It’s a supreme land rich in opportunities.
Legend has it that the valley’s original master was known as the Medicine Sovereign.
His medical skills were extraordinary, revered by cultivators in ancient times, and the valley grew various famous herbs, with massive spirit gathering formations inside, absorbing a large portion of Wuzhou’s spiritual energy for cultivation. Even an ordinary herbal plant tossed outside could stir chaos in the outside world.
Logically, such a place would attract coveting from all sides, but the Medicine King Valley managed to remain undisturbed. It’s not just because the Medicine Sovereign healed the sick and saved lives, forming good relationships; it’s mainly because his power was terrifying, with unfathomable cultivation.
Later, the Medicine Sovereign achieved immortality through his medical expertise, crossed the tribulation, and transformed Medicine King Valley using divine abilities, setting up various formations. After all was said and done, he stylishly ascended, leaving behind endless legends.
Since then, Medicine King Valley opens once every hundred thousand years, with limited opening time and entry numbers.
Moreover, anyone who recklessly destroys the environment within will be erased by the power left behind by the Medicine Sovereign!
The Sovereign did this partly to benefit the people, giving future generations a chance to change their destinies; on the other hand, it was to maintain the valley’s normal operations, ensuring that the precious herbs weren’t completely wasted.
And now, in just a few days, it was time for Medicine King Valley to open again!
As a result, countless cultivators flocked to Wuzhou, impatiently waiting for the valley to open.
For ordinary cultivators, this was definitely a chance to change their fortunes, while those with some status aimed to elevate their cultivation further.
On the treasure ship.
The din of voices rose and fell.
At that moment, a cold, aged voice suddenly rang out, carrying an unmistakable authority.
“Stop right there!”
The treasure ship, previously soaring forward, screeched to a halt, causing thousands of cultivators aboard to stumble, their faces darkening.
“Who the hell is this? So arrogant?!” roared a burly man in beast pelts, unleashing a surge of Yuan Ying-level energy.
“What’s going on? Why did we stop?! ” a young man in a long robe, looking like a jade crown, shouted, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Even a simple person would have their temper flared, let alone those who could summon wind and rain.
The sudden stop of the treasure ship left many present dissatisfied, looking for an outlet for their frustration.
“Friends, just hand over everything valuable you have, don’t force me to take action myself.”
From the front, the aged voice continued.
“What? They’re robbing us?!” An uproar erupted inside the treasure ship.
“Who’s so bold as to intercept us in broad daylight?”
“Hmph, this ship has an Immortal Lord onboard; some blind fool dares to stir trouble!”
“Captain, just run him over!”
…
Angry shouts filled the air.
Regardless of whether they were in the elite or higher-level private rooms, a terrifying killing intent was released.
Boom!
Dark clouds filled the sky, hints of lightning and thunder brewing within.
It seemed like a storm was imminent!
“Captain, why don’t you activate the formation and obliterate the bandits ahead? The guests are expressing significant discontent!” One subordinate rushed in to complain.
“No, absolutely not!” The captain’s forehead erupted in beads of sweat, stammering, “If we do that, we’re all done for!”
“What…?” The subordinate gasped in shock.
You should know, this treasure ship was crafted from spirit tools, and the formations laid out by formation masters could easily annihilate even a Unity Stage Immortal Lord at full power, definitely a top-tier defense for the guests!
Besides, many cultivators aboard had varying backgrounds; who had such great audacity to kill them all?
“May I ask your honorable name?” The captain approached the ship’s bow, tentatively cupping his hands in greeting, as if trying to confirm his guess.
In the distance, shrouded in mist, stood an old man with a mane of wild white hair, dressed in a black and gold embroidered robe, standing on an immortal crane, hands clasped behind him, his gaze sharp yet calm, “Xuantian Sect, Ye Junlin!”
Beside him stood three figures.
One was a tall young woman in a fiery red dress, with skin as white as jade, arms crossed and a proud demeanor.
Another was a burly man wearing a straw hat, gripping the hilt of a blade, his eyes fierce, with a face full of muscle, looking like he was ready to draw his sword at any moment.
Lastly, there was a diminutive figure, clearly a man but dressed in a pink skirt, emitting a strange sense of mismatch, wearing a white veil that obscured his face.
These figures resembled the infamous quartet in rumors!
Especially when the old white-haired man revealed his identity, the captain was completely stunned, confirming his suspicions.
“It really is him! The White-Haired Killing God, Ye Junlin!”
As these words left his mouth,
The once-furious guests felt as if cold water had been poured over them, involuntarily shivering, shaking in fear as they gazed ahead.
As for those so-called elite private rooms on the treasure ship, the killing intent they had unleashed moments ago instantly vanished, as if nothing had happened.
Everyone trembled, regretting their earlier words.
After all, that was the White-Haired Killing God with a fearsome reputation throughout the Eastern Domain!
He had blood on his hands from over a million cultivators, the big shot who had trampled the Yuhua Sect’s prestige!
Even the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal who broke through the tribulation and came looking for trouble during the Xue Family banquet was killed on the spot!
Only then did many realize that Ye Junlin of the Xuantian Sect wasn’t just a venerable but a true Virtual Immortal!
And now, this man was robbing them in broad daylight?
“Wait, is it really him? I feel like he wouldn’t do something like this—he must be an impostor, right?”
“Are you blind? Didn’t you see the people beside him? They look exactly like in the tales!”
“Exactly! The lady is the Red Fairy, the man is the Blade Demon, Li Wujie, and that shortest one is the White-Haired Killing God’s personal disciple!”
“With this lineup, you still doubt if it’s fake? I’m seriously impressed by your intellect! If you’re seeking death, don’t drag us down with you!”
