Chapter 161 - 161 161 The Dark Guard Takes Action

161: Chapter 161: The Dark Guard Takes Action 161: Chapter 161: The Dark Guard Takes Action “Senior Brother, what good news has brought you to find me so late?”

In a main hall deep within Pill King Hall, Long Yan sat opposite Zhuge Qianzhong, smiling and asking.

“Can you still laugh?”

With a straight face, Zhuge Qianzhong glared at Long Yan: “You’ve caused a big mess!”

He really didn’t know where Long Yan got the guts to slaughter all the disciples of Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.

This was like stirring up a hornet’s nest; even he wouldn’t dare to do this easily.

Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect were both giants on the Shenwu Continent, not second-rate powers like Divine Fist Sect.

“You mean that incident?”

Long Yan shrugged, not caring at all: “Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect provoked me first, so I had no choice.”

What’s done is done, there’s no use regretting it.

Besides, he never regretted anything he did.

If given another chance, he would still kill all the disciples of Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.

Letting Gu Linger escape was something he still found regrettable.

“You…”

Zhuge Qianzhong choked with anger for a moment, rolling his eyes.

After calming down, he said: “I just received news that Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect and Ancient Sword Gate have issued a Supreme Hit Order on you simultaneously.

Until the day you die, the Supreme Hit Order will not be canceled.

You have become notorious now.”

“A Supreme Hit Order?”

Long Yan’s mouth twitched, not taking it to heart: “It seems my life is quite valuable.

Being issued a Supreme Hit Order by two major forces at the same time is truly an honor.”

“I don’t know where you get this much confidence.

The Supreme Hit Order is not to be underestimated.

From now on, you will stay in Pill King Hall and not go anywhere until you reach the Martial King Realm with your cultivation base.”

Zheng Qianzhong said seriously.

That was the only solution.

The people of the two major forces couldn’t possibly come to Pill King Hall to kill, so Long Yan would be safe as long as he didn’t leave Pill King Hall.

“Senior Brother, I cannot accept this condition.

I must return to Ling Wu City tomorrow; I have to go back.”

Long Yan insisted.

He couldn’t possibly stay in Pill King Hall forever.

Going back to Ling Wu City to reforge the Golden Core for Grandpa was the most important thing, so he had to go back.

“Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect have set up a Heavenly Ambush for you.

Once you step out of Pill King Hall, no one can guarantee your safety.

You have to think it through.”

Zhunge Qianzhong looked very seriously at Long Yan, who had merged with the Sky Fury Divine Flame and had an even greater Pill Dao achievement than Ye Han Smoke.

He was the best successor to Pill King Hall, and Zhuge Qianzhong didn’t want him to suffer any mishaps.

“There are always fish that slip through any net.

My life is not something anyone can take away.

They can’t harm me.”

Long Yan smiled.

With Bai Ling by his side, even a Martial King would face certain death; at least he was not threatened by them.

“You are quite confident.

Fine, life and death are predestined, and wealth is determined by fate.

You can decide for yourself.”

Zhuge Qianzhong flicked his sleeves, turned around directly, and was quite angry.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry.

I am confident.

It’s not so easy for Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect to kill me.

On the other hand, Senior Brother, if you want to advance to Pill Venerate, you should think of a way to nurture a Pill Embryo.”

After leaving these words behind, Long Yan turned around and left.

“Pill Embryo?”

Zhurge Qianzhong’s body trembled as if struck by a revelation.

“Yes, a Pill Embryo.”

At this moment, Zhuge Qianzhong’s breathing became rapid and he muttered to himself, “The Ancestral Master’s notes also mentioned the Pill Embryo.

I have successfully condensed the Pill patterns, but failed to break through this last barrier.

So that’s how it is.”

“What kind of person is he?

His accomplishments in Pill Dao have reached this level.

He’s truly a monster.”

Watching Long Yan’s receding figure, Zhuge Qianzhong found Long Yan more and more mysterious.

He was even more unable to see through Long Yan.

After some thought, he sent out a summoning amulet.

Within a single breath, a black-clothed figure appeared in the great hall.

The figure was wrapped in a black robe, with an undistinguishable face.

“Master.”

The voice came from the shadow, showing absolute respect to Zhuge Qianzhong.

“From now on, you must protect Long Yan in secret and not allow any accidents to happen to him.”

Zhuge Qianzhong said, then added: “Remember, do not take action unless it is absolutely necessary.

If he doesn’t suffer some hardships, he will always be lawless.

Also, do not let him find out about you, that kid is very cunning.”

“Yes.”

The black-clothed man responded, then disappeared like a ghost.

“Long Yan, I’ve arranged a dark guard to protect you, I hope you understand my good intentions.”

The black-clothed man was a secret guardian trained by Pill King Hall, known to few people.

He was assigned to protect the Junior Palace Master.

By doing so, Zhuge Qianzhong obviously placed Long Yan in the position of the Junior Palace Master of Pill King Hall.

The next morning, as Long Yan was about to leave Pill King Hall, Ye Han Smoke suddenly arrived.

“Junior Nephew, you miss me so soon?”

Long Yan smiled sheepishly at Ye Han Smoke.

The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted it and took a cold breath inward.

“Big Brother Yan, what’s wrong?”

Lingxi looked at Long Yan with a mischievous smile, her little hand moving away from Long Yan’s waist.

“Nothing, nothing.”

Long Yan forced a bitter smile and tried to endure it.

“Long Yan, are you going back to Ling Wu City?”

Ye Han Smoke appeared icy, always keeping people at a distance.

“I’m about to leave.”

Long Yan did not hide the fact, estimating that Ye Han Smoke must have got the message from Zhuge Qianzhong.

“Perfect, I’m going to Ling Wu City too, let’s go together.”

Ye Han Smoke said.

“Why are you going to Ling Wu City?

Your home isn’t in Ling Wu City.”

Long Yan looked curiously at Ye Han Smoke.

“What does my trip to Wanbao Trading Company have to do with you?”

As she said this, Ye Han Smoke’s gaze flickered, clearly lacking confidence.

She hurriedly added, “There are some matters at Wanbao Trading Company that need handling, so I have to go there.”

“Do you really need to go in person for such a trivial matter?”

Long Yan’s mouth twitched, not believing Ye Han Smoke’s lie at all.

Given her status, such a small matter wouldn’t involve her.

“This is my business, if you don’t want to join, I’ll go by myself.”

Ye Han Smoke glared at Long Yan fiercely, as if saying: You’re usually clever, but why can’t you figure it out this time?

“Since it’s on the way, let’s go together.”

A moment later, at Lingxi’s command, Fat Cat carried Long Yan, Lingxi, and Ye Han Smoke.

With a low growl, its wings spread wide, stirring up a whirlwind.

Like lightning, it shot out and disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye.

The Ninth Level Heavenly Stage Fat Cat was naturally very fast, even faster than a regular Martial King.

“What kind of Demonic Beast is this?

Is it something he brought back from Beast Island?”

Ye Han Smoke’s gaze rested on the little white beast on Long Yan’s shoulder.

She couldn’t sense any breath from the little beast, but its gaze made her feel very threatened.

Just as Long Yan and the others were leaving Qitian Peak, a shadow hidden in the dark followed them closely.
