103: The Heavenly Fire Venerable Reconstructs His Physical Body!

Ye Zhong quickly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Lord Jiang Luo! This old man will certainly keep a strict watch over these people and simultaneously dispatch personnel to clear out the remaining forces of the Ice River Valley in the Pill Domain, ensuring they never threaten the Ye Family again!"

Having experienced this great battle, Ye Zhong's awe toward Jiang Luo deepened even further.

Not only was Jiang Luo immensely powerful, but his actions were also decisive, showing no mercy to his enemies. This was the true demeanor of an expert capable of establishing a foothold in the Central Plains.

Ye Xinlan looked at the bloodstains in the courtyard. Although she felt a slight reluctance, she understood Jiang Luo's intention.

The people of the Ice River Valley were notorious for their evil deeds; if they were let go today, they would surely cause endless trouble in the future.

She stepped forward and whispered, "Big Brother Jiang, do you still need my help with the secret chamber?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, "No need. The Fusion of Venerable Skyfire's Soul and Physical Body has reached a critical moment. I must return immediately to stabilize it to prevent accidents. During this time, pay attention to the movements of other forces, especially the Hall of Souls."

"Although Qinghai Venerable is dead, the Hall of Souls will certainly not let the matter rest and might send even stronger people."

Ye Zhong nodded in agreement, "Rest assured, Lord! This old man has already sent people to contact the other forces in the Pill Domain, informing them about the Ice River Valley and the Hall of Souls colluding to oppress the Ye Family."

"Now that the news of Your Lordship slaying two Dou Zun Experts has spread throughout the Pill Domain, those forces likely won't dare to provoke the Ye Family easily."

Jiang Luo nodded slightly, said no more, and turned toward the secret chamber on the back mountain.

As soon as he stepped into the secret chamber, he noticed that Venerable Skyfire's Physical Body was somewhat unstable; the halo on its surface flickered erratically. Clearly, the fluctuations from the recent battle had affected the Soul and Body Fusion.

He quickly walked to the Pill Furnace, activated the Earth Vein Flame, and injected a wisp of pure flame into the Physical Body.

The flame traveled along the body's Meridians, gradually stabilizing the connection between the Soul and the Physical Body, and the halo on the surface slowly became steady.

Venerable Skyfire's voice came from the Physical Body, carrying a hint of weakness: "Little Friend Jiang Luo, this old man sensed all the commotion outside. Thank you for distracting yourself to deal with powerful enemies for my sake."

"It was nothing," Jiang Luo said while adjusting the temperature of the flame. "You have just undergone Body Fusion and still need quiet recuperation. Adapt to the strength of this body as quickly as possible. Once you recover your Peak strength, you will be another asset."

Venerable Skyfire nodded, "This old man understands. Once I recover, I will certainly help you deal with the threat of the Hall of Souls. The Hall of Souls operates viciously, harming many Alchemists and experts over the years; this old man also holds old grudges against them."

Jiang Luo said no more, focusing his full attention on controlling the flame to stabilize Venerable Skyfire's Physical Body.

The Earth Vein Flame in the secret chamber burned slowly. The fragrance of pills and the aura of Dou Qi intertwined, and as time passed, the aura of Venerable Skyfire's Physical Body became increasingly stable, gradually restoring the imposing might of a Dou Zun Expert.

Meanwhile, outside Ye City, the major forces of the Pill Domain had already received the news regarding the Ye Family.

Many forces sent representatives to visit, hoping to establish good relations with the Ye Family, and also wanting to personally witness Jiang Luo, who was capable of slaying two Dou Zun Experts.

Ye Zhong took this opportunity not only to consolidate the Ye Family's position in the Pill Domain but also to reach cooperation agreements with other forces, completely eradicating the remaining influence of the Ice River Valley.

In the secret chamber, Jiang Luo watched Venerable Skyfire's Physical Body stabilize completely, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

With the task of reshaping Venerable Skyfire's Physical Body complete, he could now focus on preparing for the Pill Tower assessment while simultaneously dealing with the greater crisis the Hall of Souls might bring.

The turmoil in the Central Plains had just begun.
