Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When he heard Wang Mang’s solemn declaration, the young man’s expression changed, and he subconsciously glanced at the pill stall owner in the distance.
Although he did not know if it was true or not, the fact that Wang Mang actually dared to swear proved that this matter was not groundless. Therefore, he decided not to buy medicinal pills from that stall.
After all, it was better to be safe than sorry!
The junior hesitated for a moment before happily buying the pills from Wang Mang for 300,000 immortal stones. Since there were five pills in a bottle, the price of one pill was 60,000 immortal stones!
Thinking back to the 120,000 immortal stones that the system had charged him during the battle with Kuang Shi, Wang Mang could not help but curse inwardly.
This system really knew how to take advantage of the situation!
However, he was still feeling good about this sale. After all, he had earned 90,000 immortal stones from just one sale, which further proved how profitable alchemy was.
At the same time, the middle-aged owner of the pill stall in the distance had a gloomy and furious expression after seeing Wang Mang’s successful transaction.
He had not expected that Wang Mang would turn the tables on him.
More importantly, he was shocked that Wang Mang knew that his pills had killed people before. In reality, his pills had indeed killed people before. He had used inferior pills and passed them off as high-quality pills.
After all, this made him even more profit than regular pills. This was also the reason why he was so angry. Although Wang Mang was simply spouting nonsense, fiction turned out to be reality!
Moreover, in his opinion, since Wang Mang dared to swear that it was the truth, the latter had definitely found out about this secret despite his best attempts at covering it up.
Thinking this, he became even more frustrated, and his expression flickered between anger and contemplation. What should he do about Wang Mang?
Fortunately, at this moment, an old customer arrived, who was also a peak-level Heaven Immortal realm cultivator.
This made him smile, and he quickly asked enthusiastically, “Junior, what medicinal pills do you need this time?”
“Boss, the same as always. Give me a bottle of top-grade Blood Recovery Pills!”
“No problem.”
The middle-aged boss beamed with joy and took out a bottle of pills.
Just as the transaction was about to take place, an angry roar was suddenly heard from afar.
“It’s him! It’s this f*cking black-hearted profiteer who sold the pill to my brother!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man and his customer looked over.
Then, the middle-aged man saw a scene that dumbfounded him.
Three Heaven Immortal realm students were carrying a severely injured and dying student toward him.
“What are you guys doing?”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and his face was filled with confusion.
“You still have the f*cking nerve to ask that? If it weren’t for the problem with the pills you sold my brother wouldn’t be in this condition! Thanks to you, he almost died while carrying out a mission!”
“How can there be someone as unscrupulous as you! If it wasn’t for the fact that my brother was lucky enough to survive, I’m afraid that your crime would have gone unnoticed!”
The three male Heaven Immortal realm students pointed at the middle-aged boss with furious expressions and roared.
Seeing this scene, many students who were passing by also came over to watch the show.
When they saw the heavily-injured student lying on the back of one of the other three students, all heli broke loose.
Could it be that the owner of this stall was selling fake pills?
The middle-aged man looked at the crowd of people who were whispering and pointing in his direction. He knew that things had taken a turn for the worse.
He knew why these guys wanted to frame him, and he knew that they came with ill intentions.
When he raised his head, he saw Wang Mang, who was smiling coldly at him.
Seeing this, how could he not know who was behind this? This fellow was too vicious!
In his anger, the middle-aged man roared, “You guys are making things up! When have 1 ever sold pills to you?!”
Unfortunately, what he did not realize was that he had really sold pills to these people a few months ago.
Sure enough, after hearing the man’s words, the leader of the troublemakers sneered, “Are you trying to escape responsibility now?”
“Do you want to go to our class and ask? When we bought the pills from you, there were many people present!”
“There are five or six of them from our class! Do you want me to call them over to testify?”
“You black-hearted b*stard! If you didn’t sell us sh*tty pills, would my brother be lying on the ground with serious injuries right now?”
“Everyone, come and take a look! It’s this black-hearted peddler who sold us fake medicine and almost killed my brother. Now, he’s trying to shirk responsibility and refuses to admit it!”
As this group of students started to shout, more and more students gathered to watch.
This also made the middle-aged man tremble in anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. Wang Mang had gone too far!
“You guys dare to accuse me? All of you deserve to die!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man raised his hand and killed the leader of the group!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
None of them had expected the middle-aged man to actually dare to kill someone. Although they were outside the academy’s grounds, this place was still under Sacred Emperor Academy’s jurisdiction.
The other troublemakers immediately wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, the middle-aged boss, who was completely infuriated, did not hold back, and attacked again.
Bang!
The other two Heaven Immortal realm students also died tragically in the hands of the middle-aged man.
The difference in strength between the Heaven Immortal realm and the Immortal Prime realm was too great!
The surrounding crowd looked at the middle-aged man in bewilderment, including Wang Mang.
Had this fellow gone crazy?
Wang Mang immediately became vigilant, and subconsciously put all of the pills back into his storage space.
As expected, the middle-aged man suddenly turned to Wang Mang with a ferocious expression and said venomously, “It’s all your fault, you despicable person! Even if 1 die today, I’ll kill you first!”
