Chapter 496: Green Ox Shepherd Boy

Chapter 496: Green Ox Shepherd Boy

"Ha ha, just a little girl who's still wet behind the ears. Let the old me deal with her later."

As the Chief of the Hall of Souls and Hun Hei Mao frowned, a withered figure leaning on a stick suddenly appeared beside them in a ghost-like fashion without any warning, taking everyone around them by surprise.

This old man was so thin that he seemed to be made up of nothing more than his bones. His shriveled face wore a smile that made one feel uncomfortable. Those eyes were not as turbid as those of an ordinary old man. Instead, they contained a strange brightness. Under those eyes, even one's soul seemed to emit a piercing pain.

"Hun Qian Mo... my goodness, he is still alive? The Hun Clan has even sent him. It looks like they are determined to inflict serious damage on the Heavenly Court..."

There was no shortage of experienced elders around the mountain. Some of the slightly younger experts might not have heard of Hun Qian Mo, but these elderly figures were clearly aware of how terrifying this old fellow was.

However, when this elderly figure appeared, Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing.

When Hun Qian Mo appeared, there was no disturbance in the space, as if he had been there all along. It seemed as if he had an extraordinary mastery over space. Others might praise this skill, but in front of Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, it seemed a bit like clowning around.

"Hmph, this old fellow sure talks big, he may end up biting his own tongue."

Zi Yan's eyes showed a hint of disdain. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she could take on two of these old folks.

At these words, Hun Qian Mo's dry face twitched slightly. His eyes, shining with an eerie light, slowly swept over Zi Yan. His voice was hoarse, like bones rubbing together:

"Whether or not it's big talk, you'll find out soon enough. Although you carry the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon, my Hun Clan's affairs are not something your Ancient Void Dragon Tribe can interfere with. Withdraw now and I may spare your life."The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

"Alas... an old man who refuses to die, don't lean on your age to act superior..."

An exceptionally ancient voice echoed softly, and as it resounded, a spatial fluctuation began to spread. Soon after, a green ox slowly appeared in that space, stepping through the void with a deep moo.

"Uh..."

As the voice spoke, the eyes of everyone present immediately turned to the green ox, or more precisely, to the person on the back of the green ox. But when they saw the figure clearly, they were stunned.

...

"The Pill Tower Ancestor... unexpectedly, we saw this legendary figure this time..."

"It is rumored that the actual form of this ancestor is a Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill. It is probably the only medicinal pill of this tier in the world. If he is refined..."

"Shut up. Are you seeking death? The strength of this Pill Tower Ancestor has already reached an overwhelming level. Although there are some in the continent who can defeat him, finding someone who can truly refine him is extremely difficult..."

"Hee, however, whoever really experiences that blessing would likely..."

The appearance of the Ancestor from the Pill Tower had undoubtedly caused a great stir in the surrounding mountains. Some of the experts from the older generation showed startled faces. Their eyes contained both respect and fear as they looked at him. At the same time, some strange thoughts were bubbling up in the depths of their hearts.

Aside from the Pill Tower Ancestor's power, the fact that his actual form was a Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill was enough to drive a Dou Saint expert crazy with desire.

"You old ghost, I never expected you to reach the initial six-star Dou Saint after all these years. With your current strength, I'm afraid you've probably reached the pinnacle of the Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill. If you continue to advance, you'll become the legendary Ninth-Tier Golden Pill, right? Our Clan Head has been interested in you for a long time..."

Others might hold back due to the strength of the Pill Tower Ancestor, but Hun Qian Mo and his group had no interest in disguising their intentions. Their eyes were filled with greed as they looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor.

"Ha ha, you undying old thing. Don't you think it's a bit funny to speak these superficial words in front of me..." The Pill Tower Ancestor smiled faintly when he heard this threat. He laughed, "He has been eyeing me for more than a day or two, but if you had the chance, you would have acted long ago. Do you think I do not understand you people? All right, there is no need to say such unnecessary words. It has been many years since I fought with you. I wonder how much your strength has increased since then?"

The green oxherd boy's youthful smile seemed naive, but everyone knew that beneath that naivety lay a deep understanding of all things in the world.

"I'll make sure you find out!"

Hun Qian Mo's eyes shone with a strange light, and his voice gradually became distant and ethereal. Inexplicably, his figure began to blur and fade, and his presence seemed to become more and more elusive.

"Ahem, I think it would be better to let Zi Yan deal with Hun Qian Mo."

Xiao Ming couldn't help but say. Despite the Pill Tower Ancestor's willingness to fight, Xiao Ming preferred to let Zi Yan handle Hun Qian Mo. This was because the Pill Tower Ancestor could only match him evenly, whereas Zi Yan could easily deal with him.
