Mei Ruohua looked extremely young, as if she were still a young woman.

In fact, she is only in her thirties.

This is because she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at a very young age, thanks to her extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.

This breakthrough allowed her to maintain a youthful appearance for a long time; at first glance, she still looked as beautiful and charming as a girl in her twenties.

However, at this moment, she sat upright in the main seat of the council hall, her originally beautiful face as cold as frost, and her eyes flashing with a chilling killing intent.

Her gaze was sharp and cold as she stared at the two women kneeling before her.

The other eight elders also had faces as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

They sat around Mei Ruohua on either side, their eyes filled with anger.

The two kneeling women were the two female disciples of Yun Zhilan, the Grand Elder of the Divine Doctor Valley.

At this moment, the woman in the red dress and the woman in the white dress knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

When Fang Han clashed with Yun Zhilan and the others, he had the opportunity to kill both female disciples, but he spared their lives and let them return to deliver a message to Mei Ruohua, demanding that Mei Ruohua, on behalf of the Divine Doctor Valley, apologize to the Fang family in Yanming City. Otherwise, he would not let the matter rest.

Upon learning of Yun Zhilan's murder, Mei Ruohua was furious.

She never imagined that someone would be so audacious as to kill the Grand Elder and several disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley, and then so arrogantly demand that she apologize.

Immediately, she summoned the eight elders of the Divine Healer Valley to the council hall to discuss countermeasures.

"This Fang Han is really bold. Not only did he kill Yun Zhilan and several disciples of my Divine Doctor Valley, but he also dares to spout such nonsense, demanding that I apologize to him. I want to see just how much he's worth, daring to be so arrogant!"

Mei Ruohua said coldly, her voice filled with endless anger and killing intent.

At this time, she was completely unaware that Yun Zhilan had colluded with the Zhao and Su families of Yanming City to turn Fang Han into a medicine man.

In reality, it was Divine Doctor Valley that wronged Fang Han, and Fang Han's decision to give them a chance to apologize was already merciful.

"Valley Master, Fang Han was able to kill Elder Yun Zhilan in an instant. Such strength is probably no ordinary person and should not be underestimated."

A middle-aged man in a blue robe, sitting to the left of Mei Ruohua, had a solemn expression and spoke with great concern.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with caution, and continued, "Moreover, judging from what the two female disciples, Chu Ruohong and Li Zhi, said, Fang Han has probably already entered the Divine Sense Realm and become a top expert. If we do not temporarily avoid his sharp edge and instead rashly take the initiative to fight the Fang family, we may fall into an abyss of no return and cause a huge trouble."

The Chu Ruohong and Li Zhi he mentioned were Yun Zhilan's two personal female disciples, who were kneeling before Yun Zhilan at the moment.

"Yelü Hong, as the Second Elder of my Divine Healer Valley, how could you utter such words that boost the morale of others and diminish our own at such a crucial moment?"

Mei Ruohua, however, did not listen to what the middle-aged man in the blue robe said at all. Her eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction as she coldly rebuked him.

Her voice echoed in the empty council hall, like a cold, sharp blade piercing straight at Yelü Hong.

"Valley Master, I think you need to calm down right now."

Yelü Hong remained calm. He knew that Mei Ruohua was blinded by anger at the moment, and tried to make her look at the situation soberly. "You have been in seclusion for cultivation for some time, and you are probably not very clear about the serious situation that the Divine Doctor Valley is facing now."

"Yelü Hong, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Mei Ruohua was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she still asked in a firm tone.

Yelü Hong took a deep breath and slowly said, "Our sales of pills in Yanming City have always relied on the Zhao family as our distributors. However, for the past month or so, our Divine Doctor Valley's pills have been completely ignored in Yanming City, to the point that almost no one wants them."

"It's said that the Fang family can now refine top-grade Body Tempering Pills, Qi Induction Pills, Meridian Opening Pills, and Qi Transformation Pills, and their selling price is only one-third of ours. With such powerful alchemists, the Fang family must have countless experts as well. The Zhao family has written several times, pleading with us to intervene in this matter. Think about it, Zhao Tiancheng's daughter, Zhao Ziyi, is about to enter the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, and she's even been chosen by that highly respected elder, known for his sword obsession, who wants to make an exception and accept her as a disciple. Furthermore, Zhao Tiancheng's eldest son, Zhao Wu, is training in the Demon Suppression Army, and it's said that even the Demon Suppression Army's commander, Prince Li Wentian, trusts him implicitly. Yet, even so, the Zhao family has been suppressed by the Fang family to the point of hiding and asking us for help. Must our Divine Doctor Valley really wade into these troubled waters?"

Mei Ruohua immediately retorted, "Although Zhao Ziyi is about to join the Qingxuan Sect, she is still only at the Martial Sect level. Zhao Wu's cultivation should also be at the Martial Sect level. Moreover, as a member of the Demon Suppression Army, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of suppressing demonic scourges and has no time to leave the Demon Suppression Army. It is to be expected that the Zhao family will be no match for the Fang family."

"But even if the Fang family is powerful, they couldn't possibly reach the Divine Sense Realm, and he's definitely no match for Elder Yun Zhilan. He must have used some evil magic to manage to kill Elder Yun Zhilan by sheer luck. Besides, alchemy isn't something that can be mastered overnight. In the first half of this year, the Fang family could only refine low-grade Body Tempering Pills, not even Meridian Opening Pills. How could they possibly refine top-grade Meridian Opening Pills, or even top-grade Qi Transformation Pills, in such a short time?"
