Speaking of which, Hee Qi also sighed:
"Li Guangzong used to always be in the Market. This time he’s building the Myat Pill Garden outside. Isn’t it because he relies on the Medicine King Valley? It seems like an opportunity, but it’s actually a trap..."
He has a family and cannot gamble with his life.
Chen Ye, however, smiled confidently: "Brother Hee’s concerns, I naturally understand."
"But, he has a Foundation Establishment True Man to assist him, do I not as well?"
As soon as this was said, Hee Qi’s pupils suddenly shrank!
He stared intently at Chen Ye, trying to find any trace of deceit on his face.
But Chen Ye’s expression remained calm and collected, that confidence not seeming to be a pretense.
Indeed... Brother Chen is not a careless person.
Hee Qi’s heart pounded wildly. On one side was the thunderous wrath of a Foundation Establishment True Man, on the other was the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill!
He had been at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer for seven to eight years, close to reaching Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, ready to prepare for Foundation Establishment, and was desperately in need of this Foundation Establishment Pill!
Hee Qi clenched his teeth fiercely, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes.
"Alright!" He slapped the table hard, causing the teacups to clatter, "Since Brother Chen has such a backup plan, then I will accompany you to seize this opportunity!"
He bent down, hugging his daughter tightly, and said softly: "Yaya, be good. Daddy has important business tonight. You sleep with Mommy first."
Little Shuyao nodded obediently, glancing at Chen Ye again, and whispered to her father: "Daddy, are you going to fight bad guys with Uncle Chen? Be careful."
Hee Qi’s heart warmed, and he nodded firmly.
The three instantly came to an agreement.
Night was as dark as ink, murderous intent hidden. Once Bai Susu’s message arrived, the three headed to the Myat Pill Garden together.
Chen Ye felt reassured.
Now, they had two at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and one at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer. Killing Li Guangzong, who was at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, should not be a problem!
...
Night was as dark as ink, murderous intent hidden.
Midnight was approaching, a crescent moon hung on the horizon.
Outside the Myat Pill Garden, three figures moved like phantoms, stealthily lurking in the shadows.
"Take action!"
In the distant skyline, a dazzling golden sword rainbow shot up into the sky, erupting violently with an equally magnificent Pill Fire breath! It was Bai Susu making their move!
The guards inside the Myat Pill Garden were instantly attracted by this earth-shattering scene, throwing their formation into chaos.
"It’s now!"
Chen Ye shouted lowly, the three no longer hiding, as if arrows leaving the string, rushed straight for the Myat Pill Garden’s gate!
"Who dares intrude?" The gate’s guards shouted in anger and fear, immediately sounding the alarm.
Hee Qi charged in first, roaring, his blood churning, brandishing the Mountain-Cutting Saber which kicked up a fierce wind, like a tiger descending a mountain, directly slashing the two guards and their weapons away!
Li Qiuyun followed closely, her movements nimble, her Flying Sword flashing blue, sword out like a dragon, precisely deflecting several spells from both sides, tearing an opening for the three.
The three worked seamlessly, breaking through the outer courtyard’s layers of defenses in a matter of breaths, pushing straight towards the depths of the garden and the Alchemy Room.
"Bang!"
The door of the Alchemy Room was kicked open by Hee Qi.
Inside, Li Guangzong looked at them with a dark expression, a Spiritual Light flashing Eight Trigrams Mirror floating in front of him, obviously having already detected their intrusion.
Li Guangzong’s gaze swept across the three, finally landing on Chen Ye, doubting and uncertain:
"I thought it was someone else, turns out it’s you, this useless person! You... how did you...?"
He couldn’t understand.
What on earth was going on?
How could Chen Ye, like a ghost, suddenly come to his Myat Pill Garden to kill him?
Li Guangzong couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t make sense of it at all.
Chen Ye was unmoved, silently drawing the Iron Sword from his back.
And how could Hee Qi waste words with him, roaring, his blood surging, Mountain-Cutting Saber enveloped in red flames, charging directly at Li Guangzong!
At that moment, a pitch-black shadow emerged suddenly from the shadows beside Li Guangzong!
The shadow moved as swiftly as a ghost, wielding a completely black spear akin to a lurking venomous dragon, precisely stabbing at Hee Qi’s side waist!
This sudden change made Hee Qi’s face change dramatically!
Well-versed in battle, his instincts honed into his very bones, he forcibly twisted his attack in that split second, the Mountain-Cutting Saber initially aimed at Li Guangzong was swept sideways, transformed into a flaming barrier!
"Clang!!"
A deafening clash of metal reverberated in the Quiet Chamber!
Hee Qi felt a tremendous force transmit through the saber, numbing his grip, forcing him to step back twice before stabilizing himself.
And the ambushing figure was revealed, a burly and stern-faced guard, cultivation level surprisingly at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer!
He held his spear, rock-steady, blocking Hee Qi’s powerful strike.
"What a tough bone!" The guard sneered, his spear moving like a dragon, each strike precise and deadly, targeting Hee Qi’s vital points, enveloping him in a storm of attacks.
On the other side, Li Qiuyun had already engaged with Li Guangzong.
"You, Chen Ye... we swore brotherhood, and yet you ambush me!"
Li Guangzong, though not skilled in close combat, was an Alchemist with vast resources, his protective measures endless.
Infusing Spiritual Power into the Eight Trigrams Mirror, its surface formed a solid light screen around him, blocking Li Qiuyun’s agile and swift blue sword lights completely.
At the same time, with a wave of his sleeve, several fiery red Pills scattered like celestial flowers, shooting towards Li Qiuyun with intense heat!
"Pill Fire Thunder Pearl!" Li Qiuyun’s pretty face changed at once.
