Heavenly Realm Island stands above all nations, sects, and academies; it is the legendary land of punishment.

For so many years, sects and reclusive families have kept to themselves, thanks to the constraints imposed by Tianjing Island.

If anyone violates the rules and is discovered by the envoys of Heavenly Realm Island, the consequences will be unbearable for ordinary people.

There was once a small sect that had just begun to gain momentum, but it was punished by the envoys of Tianjing Island. Overnight, the sect disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Ruyan's consideration is very thorough. However, secretly eliminating a little girl shouldn't cause any problems as long as it's done discreetly," Chen Haoze said.

"Bring her here, I'm going to torture her properly!"

Zhou Yanran said excitedly, "Master, I happen to need a medicine man. This Jun Liuyue can be my medicine man."

"Good, good, good." Old Chen nodded with doting eyes, "Then we'll cripple her tendons and ligaments, and you can do whatever you want with her."

Hearing the conversation between the three, Liu Ruyan's palms were covered in cold sweat. If Jun Liuyue died, wouldn't she be without the antidote?

Thinking of that agonizing pain, Liu Ruyan gasped. No, she absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

She sneaked out of the post station and released the spirit pigeons.

The moment the spirit pigeon flew away, Zhou Yanran's voice suddenly rang out from behind: "Ruyan, what are you doing?"

"I...I didn't do anything."

Liu Ruyan quickly withdrew her hand, suppressing her panicked expression, "Let me get some fresh air, it's a bit hot."

"Um."

Zhou Yanran nodded: "Once we catch Jun Liuyue tomorrow, you can torture her however you want. It will be a way to vent your anger."

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister."

Watching Zhou Yanran's departing figure, Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The following day, a kill order issued by the Ghost Market caused quite a stir.

Someone offered a third-grade pill to save the life of the eldest daughter of the Jun family.

A Grade 3 pill! In the Tianyan Kingdom, it is extremely rare. It is said that a Grade 3 pill can allow a Spirit Master cultivator to break through to the Spirit King realm.

A single grade-three pill can fetch 20 million spirit stones in the Ghost Market; no one can resist such a temptation.

When Feng Chu saw the kill order, he felt like the sky had fallen! Who, who wants to kill Madam?

Are you out of your mind?

Let alone His Excellency, even the Lady's cultivation level is not something that ordinary people can handle!

That's a natural-born summoner!

"I can immediately withdraw this kill order." Feng Chu broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that his lord might throw him out if he was displeased.

"No need."

Liu Yue spoke up, interrupting Feng Chu's panic, "It would be foolish not to make money when there is money to be made. If I remember correctly, issuing a kill order costs ten million, right?"

"No, that's right."

Feng Chu was puzzled.

"It's really dark."

"..." Feng Chu's lips twitched.

"No wonder it's called the Ghost Market."

"Hehehe." Feng Chu scratched his head sheepishly; he was terrified to have earned that ten million.

"Does Yue'er like it?" Yin Ming asked.

What do you like?

"Spirit Stone".

"Of course I like it." Who doesn't like money?

Even if she wasn't short of money in her past life, she still liked money!

Jun Liuyue looked at Feng Chu, "Do I need ten million to issue a kill order?"

"Of course not."

How could he dare accept money from his wife!

Wouldn't His Majesty chop him up?

"However, the Ghost Market also couldn't find out who issued the kill order."

"I know." Liu Yue's lips curled up slightly: "A little spy tipped me off."

If it weren't for that message, she truly wouldn't have known—that someone hated her to the core.

Clearly, she had never even seen those people before.

It seems they wanted to evade the eyes of Tianjing Island, which is why they resorted to this tactic of using someone else to do their dirty work.

——

Post station.

"Master, you're amazing. That way, no one will know that we issued the kill order."

Zhou Yanran said smugly, raising her eyebrows: "After Jun Liuyue is captured, I want her Chongming Bird!"

She had seen the Chongming bird in ancient books; it was so dashing and heroic. She couldn't even imagine how enviable it would be to tame a Chongming bird as a mount.

"good."

Old Chen said indulgently, "She happens to have two contracted beasts. At that time, the Chongming Bird will be given to Yanran, and the Qilin will belong to Haoran."

With just a few words, the contracted beasts were divided up, and Elder Chen was very satisfied. At that time, his two disciples would become the most dazzling figures in the Alchemy Sect.

Upon hearing the word "Qilin," Chen Haoran, who had been silent all along, was filled with excitement.

Bang! Just then, a long sword flew in from outside the window.

Old Chen flicked his sleeve and pushed Zhou Yanran aside, but his longsword still tore through Zhou Yanran's robes and embedded itself hard into the wall.

Dozens of men in black appeared above the post station and landed in the courtyard.

Who are you?

Zhou Yanran spoke first.

The leader of the men in black held a large knife. "Someone is offering a bottle of Spirit Gathering Elixir for your lives. Three people, that's three bottles. You naturally can't refuse."

"Wh-what!"

Old Chen, who was in charge, changed his expression. He had heard of the Ghost Doctor.

The Spirit Gathering Elixir was made by the Ghost Doctor! When did they offend the Ghost Doctor?

"We are from the Alchemy Sect! If you dare to act recklessly, aren't you afraid of being retaliated against and hunted down by the Alchemy Sect!"

Chen Haoran said coldly.

"Oh? What's the Alchemy Sect? We're outlaws, why would we be afraid of being hunted down? Brothers, isn't that hilarious?"
