"Ru... Junior Sister Ruyan..." Chen Haoran tumbled and fell to the ground, but was still stabbed in the heart and died.

Liu Ruyan was already bloodthirsty, and her body was trembling.

"The antidote!"

Liu Ruyan looked up and saw Jun Liuyue come in, and reached out her hand.

"Ruthless and vicious, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Liu Yue chuckled.

"You schemed against me."

"You've wanted to kill them for a long time, haven't you?"

"You! You're talking nonsense." Liu Ruyan looked away in a panic, and then a porcelain bottle was thrown in front of her.

Liu Ruyan hurriedly picked it up and swallowed the pill inside. The excruciating pain in her abdomen instantly disappeared.

Liu Ruyan was glad that she had trusted Jun Liuyue, otherwise she would have really died with her intestines ruptured.

"Do you know why they issued the assassination order in the Ghost Market instead of killing you themselves?" Liu Ruyan raised her head and said, "Above the sects, there is a place called Heavenly Realm Island, which has established rules that sect members are not allowed to kill people from small countries, otherwise they will be hunted down by Heavenly Realm Island."

“Heavenly Realm Island? That name sounds familiar.” Liu Yue played with the dagger in her hand. The bloodstains had been wiped clean, and it emitted a faint glow under the moonlight.

——

The Alchemy Sect.

"The Soul Lamp has gone out?" At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man in a gray robe. Upon hearing his disciple's report, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he abruptly stood up.

"Where is Elder Chen?"

"They're all gone!"

"I've heard that things have been quite strange at Tianyan lately. A young man named Ghost Doctor has actually managed to concoct a Spirit Gathering Elixir."

"Isn't this Spirit Gathering Elixir something that the little girl from the Xiahou family learned after obtaining a fortuitous opportunity? That little girl has been missing for several years now. Could it be that she is still alive? And has she been staying in the small country of Tianyan all these years?"

"Impossible. Xiahou Xuan went to Tianyan once. The Ghost Doctor is not Xiahou Ya."

Another old man spoke up.

Xiahou Ya was hailed as a genius because of the Spirit Gathering Elixir, but while that elixir made Xiahou Ya a star, it also became a double-edged sword.

Xiahou Ya's disappearance is inextricably linked to that pill formula.

“It is very strange that Elder Chen and his two disciples have died in Tianyan.” An old man with a goatee stroked his beard and said slowly, “However, it is not appropriate for people from our sect to interfere in the affairs of small countries, so it is really not appropriate for us to take action.”

"We must thoroughly investigate this matter and find the murderer," the Alchemy Sect Master said with a stern face.

No matter what, the Alchemy Sect is a major sect, and it is absolutely unacceptable for three people to die for no reason.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The disciple who reported the news withdrew, and then an old man dressed in tattered clothes walked in.

The old man held a tattered fan in his hand, waving it back and forth. "Oh, what a commotion! Has someone died? Are we having a feast? How can you have a feast without inviting me, Old Qu!"

"Qu Jingyun!"

The First Elder said in a deep voice, looking at Elder Qu with displeasure.

"Elder, why are you being so mean to me out of the blue?"

Old Master Qu curled his lips, ignoring the various expressions of the people in the hall, and walked into the hall. His eyes swept around and found that all the front seats were occupied.

However, it was no challenge for him at all.

He brought a chair from the very back, placed it less than two meters away from the sect leader, and then sat down casually.

He crossed his legs.

"you!"

The sect leader never expected this old man to be so shameless.

"Why aren't you staying at your Lingyun Peak? What are you doing here?"

"I've come to ask the sect leader for a little something." Old Qu chuckled. "I was going to lay the groundwork a bit, but since the sect leader has asked, this old man has no choice but to get straight to the point."

"What is that?" Sect Leader Liu asked impatiently.

"Tianshan... Snow Lotus!"

puff!

Sect Leader Liu, who had just taken a sip of tea, nearly choked to death. "What did you say you wanted? Say it again!!"

"The snow lotus of Tianshan Mountains." Old Qu: "I can say it a hundred times."

"Do you know what you're saying?" the First Elder sneered. "The Heavenly Snow Lotus, there's only one in the entire Alchemy Sect. Besides, what use do you have for it?"

"That's right, that's right! It's such a waste that the Tianshan Snow Lotus fell into your hands!"

“Then I want one too.” Old Qu held out his hand. “Give it to me.”

"No." Sect Leader Liu said with a dark face, "It's impossible for me to give you the Heavenly Snow Lotus."

That's a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains! A single petal can keep a dying person alive.

"Fine, don't give it to me then." Old Master Qu stood up, turned around, and left the main hall.

"Sect Master, I don't think he's up to anything good," the First Elder said suspiciously.

"What waves can an old man make?"

Sect Leader Liu chuckled.

But he underestimated Master Qu. In less than a quarter of an hour, his disciple rushed over to report.

The Tianshan Snow Lotus was picked by Elder Qu! Moreover, Lingyun Peak activated the sealing formation.

"Qu Jingyun! That old fool who doesn't know his own death!"

Sect Master Liu was furious; this was even more infuriating than the mysterious deaths of three people from the Alchemy Sect.

"We must storm Lingyun Peak! We absolutely cannot let that old bastard ruin the Tianshan Snow Lotus!"

Sect Leader Liu said through gritted teeth.

...

Lingyun Peak.

Jun Liuyue stepped out of the teleportation array, followed by Su Xue and Gu Feng.

"We've finally arrived." Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Jun Liuyue looked around and smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. The Chongming bird nestled on her shoulder.

"Mother, rub against me." The Chongming bird snuggled against Liuyue's face, "Squeak, squeak."

The little white creature in the space whines and grumbles: Green tea bird!

Isn't it just being cute?

Even Gian can do that!

Little Whitey's eyes were wide open, but with its size, it looked like it could send people flying if it acted cute.

"Good boy." Liu Yue reached out and rubbed the little guy's head.

He chuckled softly.

"Squeak." Mother is the best! Unlike Father, who just has a blank face and scares people to death.

“Miss Jun, this is Lingyun Peak.” Su Xue turned to look at Gu Feng. “Where is Master? Go and find Master.”

"Oh dear, these old geezers." Before he even arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. The ragged old man limped in.

"Oh, this young lady is really pretty," Old Qu said with a smile, then glared at Gu Feng: "What are you standing there for? Help me up! My back is about to break."

Gu Feng quickly helped Master Qu up, "Master, Master, what happened to you?"

"It's all because of that old bastard Liu Yuan. The Tianshan Snow Lotus Sect has so many people guarding it, just to keep out thieves!"

Old Qu sat down in the chair and said angrily.

Seeing this, Jun Liuyue's lips twitched slightly. She seemed to know who her two disciples' unruly personalities resembled.

It turns out he took after his master.
