The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 666 - 377 Confrontation_2
What’s even more infuriating is that her two subordinates, Ice Face and the Bird Demon, are hiding in their rooms and not coming out, acting as if the lady’s affairs have nothing to do with them. They asked several times when Ning Xiaoxian would finish refining the elixir, but they just shrugged and said they didn’t know.
When He Lao stooped to peep outside her room for quite a while, he later announced that this woman was actually refining a God Transformation Pill – an elixir known for its notoriously long production time. Even if she is familiar with the procedure and everything goes smoothly, it would still take at least four to six hours to complete.
None of them knew when she began the alchemy process. Just half an hour earlier, there had been the most intense earthquake yet, and was this Granny sitting here so carefree during it all? Her calming skills were truly frightening.
In a word, this is utterly nonsensical.
They could wait, but some could not. Fifteen minutes later, a tall and strong man gently tapped on the door out of politeness, then walked straight in – which was actually quite rude, but since this was the Hidden Stream’s territory, they couldn’t fight against someone stronger, could they? They had to swallow their anger.
Fu Yunzhang looked at this towering man with a gentle name like a woman’s. This was a Rhino Demon named Xi Yan, much more irritable than any woman. In half an hour, he had already visited twice.
By comparison, although Qingluan was indifferent, she was much easier to talk to. Unfortunately, due to the frequent earthquakes that night, it was said she was not in the Forest Palace, and the task of dealing with everyone fell to Xi Yan. He had no interest in probing the secrets of this forest.
Xi Yan walked in, saw everyone lazily sitting on their chairs, and frowned, "Your Pill Master, she hasn’t come out yet?" His voice was like a bell, causing the teacups on the table to tremble, demonstrating his deep cultivation.
The twisted sitting posture of these guys was an eyesore to the well-trained Hidden Stream Demon Soldiers. The Rhino Demon secretly frowned and spat out scornfully, really just a motley crew. If it wasn’t for their inability to leave the Ba Snake Mountain Range, why would they need to do business with such riffraff?
Fu Yunzhang, unaware that the noble Immortal Bandits were being criticized as riffraff, said apologetically, "Truly sorry, but Miss Ning has not left her seclusion. She’s refining a God Transformation Pill, each of which is extremely valuable, so we dare not disturb her. We’ve already checked just now; her elixir is nearing completion and she should be out soon." He had his complaints about Ning Xiaoxian’s untimely alchemy, but now was the time for unity. As the leader of the Immortal Bandits, he had to step up and take responsibility.
Xi Yan coldly said, "No Sect is allowed to stay in the Ba Snake Mountain Range beyond sunrise the next day! These are Hidden Stream’s rules, not to be broken! Do you think we’ve never refined a God Transformation Pill? The time it takes to refine it is unpredictable; you may have the patience to wait, but we don’t have time to spare." With that, he turned and ordered his subordinates, "Go, drag that woman out!" The fellow behind him, half a head shorter but also tall and strong, responded with a stern yes and turned to leave.
Fu Yunzhang and He Lao were in a panic, both unable to help shouting, "Slow down!"
If a Pill Master was interrupted during the alchemy process, at worst they could suffer a backlash of Spiritual Power, and at best they would end up exhausted with their spirit and strength depleted, not to mention that the batch of elixirs would be ruined. Every Pill Master strictly avoids being disrupted during alchemy. Fu Yunzhang was relying on Ning Xiaoxian to cure Ling Fengnan’s illness and naturally didn’t want her to get hurt, while He Lao was worried about the Illusion in the room being exposed. They both were almost sweating bullets in anxiety.
With the number one and number two speaking out, the Immortal Bandits immediately stood up, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the direction of the door. They were accustomed to robbery, ambushes, and dark moves were their bread and butter; now they knew that to catch a thief, they must block the door first.
Xi Yan squinted his eyes and laughed angrily, "Good, very gutsy! For seven hundred years, no one has dared to make trouble on Hidden Stream’s territory. You are the first. " He sneered, "Just hope you can still be so gutsy later!" He stomped hard on the floor, shaking the whole house with the force of thousands of pounds. The three Rhino Demons initially standing behind him stepped out from his shadow, glaring maliciously at the crowd, ready to start a fight at a word. These four muscular demons were indeed much more imposing than Humans.
But the Immortal Bandits were no pushovers, with many stealthily moving their hands inside their sleeves. Their usual behavior determined that their way of fighting would never be as orderly as an ordinary Immortal Sect; just a command from the boss and knocking down these four lugs probably wouldn’t be difficult.
In the eyes of both parties, rage was swelling. The atmosphere became charged with tension, as if swords were drawn and bows were bent.
"Granny, if you don’t come back now, this place is really going to be turned upside down!" He Lao followed the others in making fierce faces, silently pleading with his ancestors. He had been with the Immortal Bandits a long time, second only to Fu Yunzhang, and had deep feelings for his little gang, not wanting his people to be wiped out like this.
This is Hidden Stream’s territory! The Rhino Demon was right; it had been several hundred years since anyone dared to stir trouble on Tai Sui’s head.
"Hey, hey." Right at this moment, a young girl’s voice came from behind one of the Rhino Demons, someone tugged at his clothes, asking, "Why are you fighting here?" (To be continued.
