170: Chapter 170 I Have a Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Here

"Master, rest assured. In this plane, we brothers are the strongest. The two Junior Brothers will certainly complete the mission smoothly," Wuqing promised, patting his chest.

"Fine, I will go back to sleep for a while. Call me when they return."

As he spoke, Tianmozi was about to return to the memorial tablet when a voice suddenly rang out.

"I have a millennium ginseng here. I wonder if you want it?"

The speaker was naturally Xiao Yuchen. He had been waiting for Tianmozi to recover, otherwise, he would have acted long ago.

A strange man's voice suddenly echoed inside the Forbidden Ground, shocking everyone present. Crucially, they hadn't sensed anything at all.

"Who... who are you?" Wuqing exclaimed in shock.

However, Xiao Yuchen did not answer Wuqing's question. He pointed at the Storage Ring on Wuqing's hand and said, "Hand over the Storage Ring on your hand to me."

"Haha, kid, are you sick in the head? How dare you come to my Shenhuo Sect to rob us? Do you think you can leave safely?"

Although Xiao Yuchen's sudden appearance shocked Wuqing slightly, his cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul allowed him to calm down instantly. Currently, he was the strongest person in this plane.

"You won't give it to me? Then I can only do it myself."

Xiao Yuchen used a teleportation technique to appear directly in front of Wuqing, then formed a claw with his right hand, grabbed Wuqing's neck, and lifted him into mid-air.

Everything happened too fast, too suddenly. Wuqing hadn't reacted at all. When he realized he had been grabbed and wanted to resist, he discovered that the Spiritual Qi in his body had been completely suppressed, unable to mobilize even a shred.

"Who... who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"

This time, Wuqing was truly afraid. Although his Master, Tianmozi, was right here, his Master was only in a Primordial Spirit state, and his strength was negligible.

Xiao Yuchen ignored him, directly took off the Storage Ring from his hand, put it on his own, and then applied slight pressure with his right hand.

With a crisp snap, Wuqing's neck was twisted and broken by Xiao Yuchen.

With the body dead, a Nascent Soul broke out of the body, but just as it was about to flee, it was shattered by a palm strike from Xiao Yuchen.

Xiao Yuchen had no interest in such a weak Nascent Soul and casually obliterated it.

Seeing this, Tianmozi's pupils constricted sharply. His eldest Disciple was dead, which meant he could no longer reshape his Physical Body. How would he recover his strength now?

"Kid, how dare you kill my Disciple! Are you trying to set yourself against my Shenhuo Sect?"

Although shocked by Xiao Yuchen's methods, Tianmozi had, after all, once been a powerhouse at the Body Integration Stage, so he naturally could not lose his Aura. Even if he couldn't defeat the person before him, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"Shenhuo Sect? Are you joking? To save you, this old monster, your Shenhuo Sect Disciples have been completely wiped out, and I have already killed three of your five Disciples. What else does your Shenhuo Sect have?"

"What? You actually killed them? Why?" Tianmozi roared wildly.

"Why? As a Cultivator, you actually attacked ordinary people. They have no right to live. The current Great Xia has its own rules, and no one can violate them."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuchen struck out with two more Thundering Fists, finishing off the remaining two old men. The two old men couldn't even react before they were sent flying, losing their lives completely.

Although their cultivation at their Peak was the Soul Transformation Stage and they had already formed a Nascent Soul, their current strength was only at the Golden Core Stage; the Nascent Soul dissipated directly without being able to escape.

After dealing with the five, Xiao Yuchen looked at Tianmozi and said, "It is better to control dangerous figures like you."

Realizing that Xiao Yuchen was going to make a move against him, Tianmozi fled towards the outside, but just as he flew to the edge of the Forbidden Ground, he was bounced back by something.

"I expected you to run away, so I had already set up a trapping array here. Surrender now."

Xiao Yuchen cultivated the God-Devouring Art, and Tianmozi's Primordial Spirit had reached the Body Integration Stage. If he were to refine it into Primordial Spirit Origin and absorb it, his Mental Energy and Soul Power would increase significantly.

"Do not push me too far. If all else fails, I will self-destruct my Primordial Spirit."

Tianmozi was truly afraid. If he couldn't escape, he would surely die. Fortunately, his Primordial Spirit had fully recovered, so even if he couldn't obtain a body, he could still attempt Possession for Rebirth.

Although Possession for Rebirth carried certain risks, and even if successful, his cultivation would drop significantly, he couldn't care about that in the current situation.

Thinking of this, Tianmozi wore a sinister expression and flew towards Xiao Yuchen like lightning.

"Hehe, overestimating yourself."

Xiao Yuchen chuckled. He naturally knew Tianmozi's intention. He took the god-devouring stele out of his System Inventory and injected Spiritual Qi into it.

The god-devouring stele was instantly activated, emitting a brilliant light, and a powerful suction force directly bound Tianmozi, who had arrived before him.

Realizing the danger, Tianmozi turned and ran, but it was already too late; he was directly sucked into the god-devouring stele.

A Seal would appear on the Primordial Spirit body sucked into the god-devouring stele, rendering it unable to use any abilities or even move freely, much like being in prison. The only benefit was that his Primordial Spirit body could be preserved.

"Senior Azure Dragon, I've sent an old monster in for you. If you get bored in there, you two can chat."

As if in response to Xiao Yuchen, the god-devouring stele lit up and then dimmed again.

After dealing with these people, Xiao Yuchen released the Holy Fire to refine all their corpses, then used his Divine Sense to check the Storage Ring.

Sure enough, all the Spirit Medicines they had robbed from the Shangguan Family were inside, along with the main ingredients for refining the muscle-regenerating and bone-melting pill.

They had actually managed to gather the bone-mending and tendon-melting flower, millennial ganoderma, and tianshan snow lotus; only a millennium ginseng was missing. This was to my advantage.

In addition to the ingredients for refining the muscle-regenerating and bone-melting pill, Xiao Yuchen selected some other old Spirit Medicines from the remaining ones and put them into the System Space as payment.

After settling all this, Xiao Yuchen left the Shenhuo Sect and headed towards the Nangong Family again.

If it weren't for waiting for Tianmozi to recover his Primordial Spirit, Xiao Yuchen would have returned long ago. Yet, even though several hours had passed, the people from those major families were still waiting at the Nangong Family.

"Nangong Wentian, although the little brother's movement technique is truly admirable, can he really deal with the Five Elders of Kunlun Mountain? It's been several hours, why don't you give him a call and ask?"

Hearing Shangguan Jun's words, Nangong Wentian frowned. As time passed, his heart began to waver. Although he had absolute confidence in Xiao Yuchen's strength, the opponents were five Cultivators, and he was not sure if Xiao Yuchen could win.

Moreover, with Xiao Yuchen's methods, traveling between the Magic City and Yanjing would take only a few minutes. He didn't understand why Xiao Yuchen hadn't returned even after several hours.

Xiao Yuchen was a benefactor to his Nangong Family and also a guardian of Great Xia. If Xiao Yuchen really fell because of helping the various major families in Yanjing, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Just as Nangong Wentian was thinking about how to appease everyone, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall—it was Xiao Yuchen.

"It seems you all don't trust me," Xiao Yuchen said casually in a teasing tone.

Seeing that Xiao Yuchen had finally returned, Nangong Wentian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, don't misunderstand. Everyone is just worried about you. Did you see those five people?"
