Chapter 601: You’re In Trouble!

Ning Yan, Wu Jianwu, and the Captain had no idea where the Green Spirit Pharmacy was located. But seeing the ruins of the city left them astonished.

Xu Qing suddenly blurred into motion, vanishing from inside the sun and appearing in the city right in front of the former location of the Green Spirit Pharmacy. His expression was grim. The medicine shop had long since been reduced to rubble. The entire area was in shambles. The sign was still there, but it was broken into a handful of pieces.

Ling’er appeared next to Xu Qing, a dazed look on her face as she looked at what was left behind of the shop.

The Captain and the others appeared one after another. Looking around at the devastation, the Captain cleared his throat.

“Little Ah Qing, um... did we go the wrong way? There’s no medicine shop here!” He took a few steps forward, squatted down, and picked up a few of the pieces of the sign. He looked back at Xu Qing. “Actually, it looks like there really was a medicine shop here at one time.... Hey, check out this sign. It looks like one of the characters is ‘Green.’” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Xu Qing’s expression became grimmer.

Ning Yan blinked a few times and then quietly said, “My condolences, Biggest Bro....”

Xu Qing’s eyes turned ice cold.

Meanwhile, there was no way Wu Jianwu could possibly pass up an opportunity like this. Sighing, he said, “The sea of life becomes a cesspit; the beautiful flowers have turned to shit. Don’t believe me, just take a look—”

Before Wu Jianwu could finish his poetry, the parrot flew out and excitedly said, “The great heavens spare none from sorrow!!”

Xu Qing radiated intense coldness as he glanced at the parrot.

And then Ling’er finally reacted; her face swelled with fury. This was her shop. Her home! And now it was destroyed. Sensing Ling’er’s anger, the shadow also pulsed with emotional fluctuations of rage.

Patriarch Golden Vajra Warrior flew out into the open, thrumming loudly. “Milord. Milady. Say the word and I’ll go slaughter whoever did this!”

Not to be outdone, Li Youfei stepped forward and furiously said, “That’s right! I want to see who had the outrageous gall to do something like this!”

He called the Bitter Life Mountains home as well, and considering that the grandmaster’s medicine shop had been razed to the ground, he felt like it was his responsibility to help. It didn’t matter who was responsible, he would do everything possible to deal with them.

The arrival of Xu Qing and the others had now caught the attention of the gray-robed cultivators who were bustling about in the area. With malicious gazes, they started surrounding them.

Before they could get very close, though, a prismatic beam of light approached at high speed. Ignoring the gray-robed cultivators, it shot to Xu Qing and resolved into the leader of the Epactic Soil Sect, Chen Fanzhuo.

After the grandmaster’s medicine shop was destroyed, he had been keeping a close eye on the area, and therefore, hurried over as soon as he realized Xu Qing was back. Expression one of fury, he clasped hands and bowed.

“Grandmaster, I wish I could have done something, but I was powerless to keep your medicine shop safe.”

Face expressionless, Xu Qing looked at Chen Fanzhuo. “Who’s responsible?”

“Come with me right now, you rebellious apprentice! If you apologize to the grandmaster this instant, and offer compensation, you might still get out of all this alive!”

There was no way Sir Tree-Dao could resist. That said, he wasn’t even sure what was going on. However, before he could do anything, the black-robed old man snorted coldly.

“How impudent!” Backed by his Spirit Trove cultivation base, the black-robed old man’s cold snort echoed like heavenly thunder.

Li Youfei staggered backward, blood oozing out of his mouth as he finally looked at the old man in black. “Guru Blackeyes!”

“Li Youfei!” Guru Blackeyes said coolly. “So, you’re the one who had Sir Tree-Dao as an apprentice before. Well he’s my apprentice now. As of now, he’s not your concern!”

Li Youfei could obviously see that his apprentice had left his tutelage to join another Master, so he nodded. Looking at Sir Tree-Dao, he said, “Well, what are you going to do?”

Sir Tree-Dao hesitated for a moment, then clasped hands to Li Youfei. “Senior....”

“Fine, I get it,” Li Youfei interrupted. If things had been like they were before, he would have continued to vent his anger. But now, he could breathe a sigh of relief. “Very well. As you said, this doesn’t have anything to do with me. You’re no longer my apprentice. But considering that we used to be apprentice and Master, Sir Tree-Dao, let me give you a little warning.... You really pissed off the grandmaster.”

Li Youfei shook his head. At almost exactly the same time, footsteps could be heard outside, along with some agonized shrieks. A moment later, Xu Qing arrived with everyone else.

Sir Tree-Dao was clearly surprised at that.

However, Guru Blackeyes simply looked over the group quickly, then said, “A few measly Nascent Soul cultivators? Since when did people like that think they could start showing off? Sir Tree-Dao, you’ll now get a chance to see that technique I taught you in action.”

Guru Blackeyes stood, his expression tranquil. Clasping his hands behind his back, he walked out of the room with a single step. There, his Spirit Trove cultivation base erupted, causing a secret trove to appear over his head. The secret trove seemed full of erupting volcanoes. And it was just possible to hear the roar of a heavenly dao within it, which caused the surrounding natural laws to stir. Meanwhile, innumerable projections appeared behind him, vicious and howling with rage.

It was a very impressive sight. Then Guru Blackeyes took a second step forward, placing him right in front of Xu Qing and the others. Behind him, his secret trove emanated astonishing pressure, causing rumbling sounds to fill heaven and earth. What was more, a black magical symbol began to form in the sky overhead. It was fully 3,000 meters in size, and pulsed with enough might to shatter boulders.

“Watch closely, my apprentice. This is the technique I just imparted to you. The Grand Devil Seal!”

Guru Blackeyes casually waved his hand with the intent of crushing the pitiful animals in front of him.

A strange expression appeared in the Captain’s eyes. Ning Yan sneered and Wu Jianwu stood there with his chin stuck up. Xu Qing’s face was completely expressionless. And then, all of them turned to the Heir Apparent and clasped hands.

“Grandpa.”

The Heir Apparent, who had been playing with the parrot, turned and looked at Guru Blackeyes.

One look.

That was all it took for Guru Blackeyes’ mind to start spinning. Going numb from head to toe, he flopped to the ground, all while his Grand Devil Seal faded from existence. Then, all the blood in his body sprayed out of his mouth. Clearly, he didn’t have as much blood as the Captain, making it hard to tell how badly he was injured. Everything went deathly silent.
