Chapter 1354

Xuan Jizi hadn’t had a good time in the past few weeks . Every few days, he would have to switch locations . No matter where he went, his calculations said that he was surrounded by danger .
The thing that worried him the most was that he was unable to pinpoint the origin of this danger . That was the most terrifying part of it .
For Xuan Jizi to be unable to calculate the origin of the danger meant there were two possibilities .
One was that his opponent’s cultivation base far surpassed his own, at least by a major realm . But the entire continent didn’t even have that many people on that level, and someone like him wasn’t qualified to draw their attention .
The second possibility was that his opponent had some kind of divine item screening from the heavens, making him unable to determine their existence .
Previously, Xuan Jizi had exposed the fact that he had harmed many geniuses by placing a curse on them . Countless experts were now chasing him .
Although he could use his powerful heavenly fate arts to avoid those people, he had to pass his days in fear of being caught .
One day, he suddenly managed to calculate a ray of hope for himself . He managed to go to the Pill Tower and through the Pill Tower, he was sent to Pill Valley .
Originally, Xuan Jizi had thought that he could peacefully cultivate after arriving at Pill Valley . But then Zhuo Tianxiang had appeared and asked him if he wanted to join Pill Valley .
Xuan Jizi naturally wouldn’t refuse such a good thing . He had been sent back to the Pill Tower and secretly set up as the vice Tower Master . He was to assist in uniting the Eastern Xuan Region’s powers .
That had disappointed him a bit . He had come to Pill Valley in order to find a peaceful place, but he was sent back to the Eastern Xuan Region instead .
That also wasn’t bad . At the very least, he could hide all day in the Pill Tower and didn’t need to worry about his enemies finding him . It was safe .
However, for some unknown reason, when he arrived at the Pill Tower, he felt uneasy as if danger was about to descend upon him .

Yet, no matter how he calculated things, he was unable to find anything strange .
“Stop!”
Just as Xuan Jizi left one of Pill Valley’s transportation formations and was on the path to the next transportation formation, a disciple wearing the Divine Pill Hall’s robes blocked his path .
Xuan Jizi was startled . Before he could speak, that disciple demanded, “Are you Xuan Jizi?”
“Yes, this old man is Xuan Jizi . ” Xuan Jizi was a bit vexed that a little disciple would call him so directly . But he endured it, as this was Pill Valley .
“Hmph, old man? Can you count as an old man if you spent all your years living a dog’s life?” said that disciple disdainfully .
“You!”
“Shut up! I’m the one who feels that this is a pain . I was happily cultivating when I was sent to give a message to you, you old bastard . My luck really is shit . Protector Zhuo wanted me to send this to you . Hey, what are you glaring at me for? Are you going to take it or not?! Hmph, do you need to be slapped to wake up?” The disciple took out a small case . He was in the midst of handing it to Xuan Jizi when he saw Xuan Jizi glaring at him furiously . Enraged, the disciple sent a slap at his face .
“Brat, you’re asking for it!” Xuan Jizi was completely infuriated . Even Zhuo Tianxiang hadn’t been this rude to him, but this brat was brazen enough to dare to slap him .
He extended a hand to catch the disciple’s arm, intending to twist it off . Although he didn’t dare to kill Pill Valley’s disciples, especially not disciples from the Divine Pill Hall, giving them a lesson was fine .
However, just as he was twisting that disciple’s arm, he suddenly found that it was harder than steel, unable to be moved at all . Instead, it was his own hand that twitched in pain from the effort .
“Bastard, you!”
Just at this moment, Xuan Jizi saw a strange smile on the disciple’s face . A hand pierced toward his heart as quick as lightning .

It happened so suddenly and at such a close distance that Xuan Jizi couldn’t react . The disciple’s hand pierced through his chest .
Only now did Xuan Jizi realize that this disciple actually wanted to kill him . He roared furiously, his aura erupted .
However, just at this moment, all of his Heavenly Dao energy was sucked dry . At the same time, a sharp sword slashed toward his neck .
The sword easily pierced his neck, but no blood splashed . The blood seemed to have been frozen by some strange energy .
“You…”
Xuan Jizi’s head was flying into the air . He just managed to see a long-haired woman .
“Sorry . Divine Flame Slaughters Devils!”
The Pill Fairy swung her white sword . Thousands of sword-images filled the air, destroying Xuan Jizi’s head and soul .
Long Chen jumped in shock . The Pill Fairy’s core flame was actually so terrifying . She killed a Life Star expert so easily .
Flames also swept out of Long Chen’s hands, incinerating Xuan Jizi’s body . After cleaning up the battlefield, the two of them immediately left .
In just a few breaths’ time, a Life Star expert had been slain .
The two of them rushed away and found a secluded area hundreds of miles away . They sat down and took a breather . At this time, the Pill Fairy and Long Chen returned to their original appearances .
“Thank you . Without your cooperation, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him, let alone kill him without leaving a trace . ” The Pill Fairy had now returned to her original appearance, and her smile was like a flower blooming .
At such a close distance, this smile made Long Chen’s heart pound . He hastily said, “It was just a bit of help . The main thing is I found that old fellow displeasing . He definitely wasn’t a good person . Killing him was as refreshing as killing one of my personal enemies . ”

How could it not be refreshing? Xuan Jizi hadn’t even known what was going on as he had died .
However, Long Chen was deeply shaken by the Pill Fairy’s power . He didn’t know what technique she had used to strip Xuan Jizi of his Heavenly Dao energy . Without that ability, they wouldn’t have been able to kill him .
It had to be known that even for a rank nine Celestial, to suppress a Life Star expert while at the Jade Core realm was essentially impossible . But the Pill Fairy had done it .
Furthermore, her flame had been extremely strange . The sword condensed from her flame looked completely solid . If it didn’t possess the specific smell of raging flames, Long Chen would have thought that her sword was a real weapon .
“In truth, even without me, you would have been able to kill him,” said Long Chen .
“That’s not possible . If you hadn’t trapped him, I would have ended up empty-handed . Without killing him in one blow, he would run, and I wouldn’t be able to stop him . ” The Pill Fairy shook her head .
Long Chen’s heart shook . He had just been testing her, but her reply truly shocked him .
Clearly, the Pill Fairy had the ability to defeat Life Star experts . It was just that she wouldn’t be able to keep them from running .
“Why are you staring at me like that? Are you shocked?” The Pill Fairy smiled at Long Chen’s shocked appearance .
“I was just thinking, if there comes a day when we have a falling out, will you eliminate me just as easily? It seems I don’t have the ability to defeat you . ”
Long Chen bitterly smiled . Now he was really worried . What if the Pill Fairy learned of his true identity? She would definitely be a terrifying opponent . Killing him probably wouldn’t be harder than killing a chicken for her, as she was an existence that could defeat Life Star experts . That was truly terrifying .
“What nonsense, we… we’re friends . Why would we fight?” The Pill Fairy reddened and looked away . That was because the way Long Chen had put it sounded like he had been asking what would happen if they broke up .
After a moment, that redness faded and the Pill Fairy said, “Xuan Jizi was too evil . If he was used by them, he would cause endless trouble . So I had no choice but to take the risk to kill him . But to you, Long San, this is great trouble . If they learn what you have done, things won’t be good for you . It’d be better for you to stay with me . At the very least, you’ll be safe . ”
Then suddenly thinking of something, the Pill Fairy hastily said, “Ah, but don’t misunderstand . I wasn’t intentionally trying to cause trouble for you . I won’t tell anyone . ”
“You’re overthinking it . Since I trust you, I will trust you fully . ” Long Chen smiled .
“Thank you for your trust . I, Yu Qingxuan, promise I won’t betray that trust . ” The Pill Fairy was very moved . Within Pill Valley, trust was something rarely seen .
“I can’t leave Zhuo Tianxiang yet . But I promise that when both sides start fighting, I will stand on your side . ”
The two of them chatted for a bit longer . When Long Chen asked what the Pill Fairy’s flame was, she didn’t hide it from him . She told him that it was a kind of bloodline divine flame . It was not an Earth Flame, but a flame that was transmitted through her bloodline .
As her cultivation base increased, it would grow stronger and she would awaken innate abilities . It was a special inheritance . It was also now that Long Chen learned a thing that dumbfounded him . Yu Qingxuan was actually the daughter of the Valley Master .
This news shocked him even more than her flame .
“How old is your father?” asked Long Chen .
“2147 years old . Hehe, seeing your shock, it seems that you don’t know . The higher the cultivation bases of the parents, the purer the bloodline of their children, and the more divine abilities can be transmitted through their bloodline . ” The Pill Fairy giggled at Long Chen’s shock . Now she didn’t appear to be an aloof fairy, but an ordinary girl .
“Admirable . ”
Long Chen was only able to make such an appraisal . He immediately had an urge to slap himself in the face . He had said something so cheeky .
Fortunately, the Pill Fairy hadn’t realized what Long Chen was admiring, and she thought he was admiring the purity of her bloodline .
The two of them chatted for a bit longer before stealthily returning to the Divine Pill Hall . Acting rudely, he went right up to Elder Zhu and clapped his shoulder, demanding, “I want to attack the Jade Core realm, so I need a huge amount of yuan spiritual energy . Prepare it for me right now, immediately, at this moment, instantly!”
