Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 683 - 682: The Number One Person Under Immortality!

Yaochen Zi was stunned, then laughed, "Elder Liu, that's not a very funny joke."

"I am not joking with you!"

Liu Rufeng bitterly smiled and said, "You sent Master Chen Yi to kill Xiao Yi, but instead, he was killed by Xiao Yi!"

"..."

The smile on Yaochen Zi's face became even more radiant as he laughed heartily, "Elder Liu, you really are joking. If you had said Elder Chen had fallen, it might be possible, but you're saying Xiao Yi killed him? As far as I know, that Xiao Yi is merely at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, how could he possibly kill Elder Chen!"

Yaochen Zi shook his head with a dismissive chuckle, refusing to believe that Xiao Yi, a mere Dharma Phase Realm Peak, could truly slay Chen Yi, a First-layer Human Venerable.

But soon he could laugh no longer.

Seeing Liu Rufeng silent and offering no defense, Yaochen Zi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked gravely, "Elder Liu, is everything you said true? Elder Chen, was he really killed by Xiao Yi?"

Alas!

Liu Rufeng sighed and nodded, "I witnessed it with my own eyes."

Hiss!

Yaochen Zi inhaled sharply, his face turning a shade paler.

The Medicine King Valley's three Longevity Secret Realms, three eighth-ranked alchemists, these were the foundation of their standing.

And now Master Chen Yi was dead?

This was shaking the foundation of Medicine King Valley!

"Did Xiao Yi get any help?" Yaochen Zi asked.

Liu Rufeng said, "I don't know that!"

Whew!

Yaochen Zi took a deep breath, his eyes flickering with a piercing chill, his predatory gaze filled with a fierce killing intent, "What a Xiao Yi, what a Xiao Zhenguo. No matter what trick you used to kill Elder Chen, Medicine King Valley will never let you go. Elder Liu, immediately have our people distribute the Medicine King's Invitation, this Valley Master wants to annihilate his Daqian Dynasty..."

"Valley Master, please wait!"

Liu Rufeng spoke up to stop him, and noticing the displeased look from Yaochen Zi landing on him, Liu Rufeng said, "Valley Master, Xiao Yi left me with something before he departed. He hoped to settle the grudge with this item!"

"Humph, what could be worth more than an eighth-ranked alchemist of Medicine King Valley?" Yaochen Zi said with disdain.

Liu Rufeng said, "It's an elixir recipe!"

"Elixir recipe? Hahaha, Elder Liu, you're confused. What elixir recipe in this world does Medicine King Valley not possess..."

Yaochen Zi scoffed and took the elixir recipe from Liu Rufeng's hands, but after only a glance, his expression drastically changed, and his breathing quickened, "This, this elixir recipe..."

Liu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders, "Xiao Yi asked me to hand it to you!"

Yaochen Zi frowned and said, "What does he mean by this? With this elixir recipe, he wants to trade for Elder Chen's life? Elder Liu, don't tell me you've already agreed to him!"

This elixir recipe indeed enticed him.

But...

If it's merely a formula like this one you wish to exchange for the life of a powerful individual from the Longevity Secret Realm, it's obviously insufficient!

Liu Rufeng shook his head and said, "I naturally couldn't agree to it, however, we can postpone the time for our revenge." He paused for a moment, and under the watchful eyes of Yaochen Zi, he continued, "Valley Master, both you and I are Tenth-layer Human Venerables, only a step away from the Earth Venerate Realm. If we can develop the Earthly Sovereign Elixir, our ascent to the Earth Venerate Realm is imminent!"

"What does that have to do with delaying our vengeance?" Yaochen Zi frowned.

Liu Rufeng replied gravely, "May I ask the Valley Master, if we kill Xiao Yi now and annihilate the Daqian Dynasty, who stands to gain the most?"

Yaochen Zi was momentarily stunned, then hesitantly replied, "The Nantian Dynasty!"

Even if they were to annihilate the Daqian Dynasty now, with the strength of Medicine King Valley, they wouldn't be able to claim it for themselves.

In the end, it would fall into the hands of the Nantian Dynasty.

"Doesn't the Nantian Dynasty have the power to overthrow the Daqian Dynasty? Based on the information we obtained earlier, Xiao Yi has ties with Baiyu, and the Nantian Dynasty has been tolerating the Daqian Dynasty because they fear provoking Baiyu."

Liu Rufeng nodded and went on, "If Xiao Yi indeed has Baiyu's backing, and we destroy the Daqian Dynasty, it is Medicine King Valley that would face the wrath of Baiyu. If Xiao Yi has no backing from the Daqian Dynasty, and we destroy him, the Nantian Dynasty can reclaim the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, and we would not be able to resist!"

Yaochen Zi's eyes lit up with understanding, his ambition evident as he caught on to Liu Rufeng's implication, "But if both you and I step into the Earth Venerate Realm, even the Nantian Dynasty would not easily shake us, and then the Daqian Dynasty would belong to Medicine King Valley!"

"Exactly!"

Liu Rufeng nodded, "And during this time, we can also continue to investigate whether Xiao Yi really has any connection with Baiyu."

"Elder Liu's considerations are indeed thorough!" Yaochen Zi nodded, his eyes narrowing as he said, "Then let Xiao Yi enjoy his freedom for a while longer, while you and I join forces first to create the Earthly Sovereign Elixir. Once we step into the Earth Venerate Realm, Medicine King Valley will command the Daqian Dynasty in the future..."

Yaochen Zi's eyes twinkled with excited light.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

With the influence of Medicine King Valley, and by controlling a kingdom, there was a real chance to stand toe to toe with the Nantian Dynasty, becoming one of the two titans of the Southern State!

Watching the excitement on Yaochen Zi's face, Liu Rufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Yi, I've done all I could..."

...

Medicine King Valley might temporarily abandon its pursuit of vengeance, but this did not delay the news of Master Chen Yi's death from spreading.

Just as Liu Rufeng had predicted.

The death of Master Chen Yi quickly spread throughout the entire Nantian Dynasty.

After all, the fall of a high-ranking expert from the Longevity Secret Realm was a major event, even in the Nantian Dynasty.

Various powers, through careful investigation, soon learned that the one who had died in battle was one of the three great Rank-8 Alchemists from Medicine King Valley, Master Chen Yi. When this news spread, the entire Southern State was shaken.

Various forces continued to probe Medicine King Valley, hoping to learn the identity of the killer.

When they learned from Medicine King Valley that the murderer was Xiao Yi of the Daqian Dynasty, the entire Southern State was utterly astounded.

Who is Xiao Yi?

In the past half-year...

These two characters had almost become legendary!

A youth who had reached the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm and single-handedly created an empire that could rival the Nantian Dynasty.

Not even twenty years old!

Yet he was already full of miraculous achievements!

But even before this...

The miracles created by Xiao Yi paled in comparison to this piece of news.

A finisher of the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, slaying an expert from the Longevity Secret Realm!

This was beyond what the word 'miracle' could describe.

The name Xiao Yi sent shockwaves through the Southern State.

Some even placed him at the top of the current Heavenly Dragon Ranking, calling him the number one person under the realm of immortality!

Long Sihai, upon hearing the news, went immediately to the Nantian Imperial Palace to see the Emperor.

And on this day.

There were still five days left until the founding ceremony of the Daqian Dynasty...
