Chapter 229: Puff Out Cheek and Exhale in Relief

Xiang’s dagger was exactly what he pulled out from the treasure chest, it was an important weapon that the demon emperor once carried on his person. After being nurtured by the demon emperor’s demonic...Chapter 229: Standing Tall And Showing Off

In the span of three months, time passed quickly for martial cultivators. Shen Xiang was now at the True Martial Realm Tier 3, and with his cultivation of powerful demonic techniques, his strength surpassed that of a Tier 4 martial cultivator by quite some margin, almost reaching the Tier 5 level. However, this was only applicable when facing ordinary True Martial Realm martial cultivators; if he were to encounter those with multiple spirit veins and formidable martial techniques, he would be at a disadvantage.

After undergoing special training, the nine members of Cloud Blade's team felt vastly different to Shen Xiang. They appeared lively and full of vitality, exuding a strong sense of determination. Their genuine qi was thick within them as they were always ready to unleash it at any moment. To Shen Xiang's surprise, Lei Xionglin and the other two members had advanced to Tier 2 of the True Martial Realm within a few days by taking the second base pill, and during this three-month period, they had consumed many good medicinal pills.

Shen Xiang had not seen Elder Pill recently; he merely told Shen Xiang that he was just taking a walk.

"You guys can say goodbye to your families first. I'll bring you all to the assembly point three days later," said Gudongchen.

Pahyao Hai returned to his residence, where he also tended to some spiritual medicinal plants. Zhu Rong left with his uncle Hao Dongqing, while Cloud Blade and Xu Weilong walked together to return to their families.

Shen Xiang wanted to return to the mortal world, but time was insufficient. He decided to wait until he returned from the Southern Wilderness before going back home, hoping to see how things were developing in his world.

"Qianqian, aren't you returning" asked Shen Xiang.

"No, there's no one at my house," said Wu Qianqian with a sad tone.

"Sorry." Shen Xiang sighed inwardly and quickly said his apologies.

"It's okay. I'll head back to the Pill Sovereign Academy; I still need to learn alchemy," said Wu Qianqian, revealing a radiant smile. She was undoubtedly a very strong woman.

After Wu Qianqian left, Shen Xiang looked at Liang Ming Dong and the others: "What about you guys"

"I'll head back once I return from that place," said Liang Ming Dong with a smile.

"Our families have been destroyed by those damn sect members, and if it wasn't for the master's instructions, I would have killed a few of them when I went there," said Lei Xionglin angrily.

"There's nothing we can do but follow the master's orders, and I also want to kill those sect members," said Lei Zhong as he scratched his head with a foolish smile.

"Let's go drinking, and I'll treat you guys," said Shen Xiang with a laugh.

As they walked towards the entrance, they heard a voice behind them growl, "Stop you three bastards."

Shen Xiang and the others immediately turned around, seeing about ten young men running behind them. They were all at the tenth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, with fierce expressions on their faces.

Shen Xiang knew beforehand that Lei Xionglin and the others had incurred some trouble, resulting in two of their team members being killed.

"Were your two companions killed by them" asked Shen Xiang grimly.

"Yes, they were killed by them! These goddamn bastards must be crippled," said Lei Xionglin as he clenched his fists tightly and angrily.

Shen Xiang nodded: "If you kill two of them, just leave the others wounded!"

"What Kill two" Lei Xionglin was slightly taken aback. Although they were at the entrance of Taiwu Sect, fighting might be considered justifiable within this area. However, if someone were to die, Taiwu Sect would undoubtedly intervene.

"Senior Shen, this might not be wise; after all, we're at the entrance," said Liang Ming Dong as he frowned.

"If someone wants to kill them, it would be better if they do so in a place where there's no one around!" said Lei Zhong with some concern.

Shen Xiang smiled: "Don't worry, you guys will soon be heading to the Southern Wilderness. The master won't touch you under any circumstances, and besides, killing someone for revenge is the natural law! They killed your two companions, so they should pay with their lives."

"Alright!" said Liang Ming Dong as his expression hardened and nodded.

Lei Xionglin's fists were clenched even tighter as he laughed loudly, saying, "A bunch of goddamn bastards; I won't let you off this time." Then, he and his brother rushed forward, followed closely by Liang Ming Dong. Their speed was fast, but they had not yet used their full power. The group of young men in front did not have time to react as Lei Xionglin and Lei Zhong's massive bodies collided with them. Several of them flew out, colliding against the door walls and falling unconscious.

Liang Ming Dong did not act as brutally as the two brothers. He used a fan, striking them gently on their faces in an elegant manner. Although it appeared as though he was just lightly swiping them, the people hit by his fan let out a howl and spat blood as well. This was the power of martial cultivators at the True Martial Realm stage. When they were at the tenth level of Mortal Martial Realm, even if they tried their best, they could not injure the other side. However, now, merely listing out scenarios had left this group of about ten people heavily injured.

"You… Are you all True Martial Realm cultivators" asked one of the young men, his handsome face already distorted. This was due to Lei Xionglin's massive fists striking him.

After undergoing training from the Elders' Hall, even those who had been advancing to Tier 2 of the True Martial Realm for many years found it challenging to defeat them, and considering their good talent and thick genuine qi, they were formidable.

"Yes, die you damn cowards!" said Lei Xionglin coldly as he planted his foot heavily on the person's chest, causing blood and flesh to spill out instantly.

Liang Ming Dong unfolded his steel folding fan and cut off a person's throat with a single swipe. The remaining people were terrified, screaming wildly; some cried for help, while others begged for mercy.

"Let's go guys! Let's head to the bar!" shouted Shen Xiang. Liang Ming Dong and the others were usually bullied by nobles, but now they could finally stand tall. It was quite satisfying for them to be able to do so, and Shen Xiang was the one who gave them this opportunity.

In the hotel, Shen Xiang and his companions drank while discussing their grand ambitions, venturing into topics like women, recounting past events of power and might…

After returning from the hotel, it was already night. Shen Xiang entered Pill Sovereign Academy and saw a room with the lights on; that was Wu Qianqian's room.

Shen Xiang and Wu Qianqian had not seen each other for a long time. She was a woman with fire spirit, and she was also an alchemist. It was quite curious to see what Shen Xiang had been up to for these days.

He knocked on Wu Qianqian's door, and when she opened it, seeing Shen Xiang, she said with a smile, "Is there something"

"Can't I just visit you if there's nothing" said Shen Xiang with a laugh.

Wu Qianqian invited Shen Xiang into the small hall and poured tea for him.

"Shen Xiang, let her unleash the Blue Star Flame, and also release a bit of your Sunfire. Let's see what happens when they combine," said Long Xueyi curiously, as the fusion of flames from different spirit fires was a rare occurrence. Although there weren't many people with spirit fire, there were three of them in Pill Sovereign Academy, which was indeed a remarkable opportunity.emember many acquaintances' names, but it's difficult to recall them all at once. However, after meeting those people again, you can easily bring up each name individually.I didn't dare take out the S...
