Pill Sovereign Reborn

In the midst of the brutal massacre, the few remaining dark-cloaked assassins who were desperately fighting against the Green Demonic Wolves witnessed Ye Lan fatally injure Cui Wuming with a single punch and angering him to death with mere words.    

Quickly, their expressions turned grim as the unease and fear in their hearts surged intensely.    

At this point, they had already lost all the will to fight.    

Since someone as powerful as Cui Wuming had died at the hands, or the words, of Ye Lan...    

How could they still think that they're capable of escaping, much less taking him down?    

Besides, Ye Lan didn't even need to attack them anymore, for they would definitely suffer a horrible death under the claws and fangs of those violent Green Demonic Wolves.    

"What should we do now?"    

One of the dark-cloaked assassins asked helplessly with a pale face.    

Nothing but fear and despair lingered in the depth of his eyes.    

Despite hearing his question, the others remained completely silent, not knowing what to say.    

After all, they clearly did not have any possible way to escape from the encirclement of the Green Demonic Wolves. Even if they did, another even more terrifying obstacle stood in their way.    

"Aghhh!"    

Plunging further into the pit of despair, the dark-cloaked assassins dropped their weapons and surrendered to their inevitable death as they could no longer able to resist the ferocious attacks of the Green Demonic Wolves.    

A series of miserable screams resounded through the forest unceasingly.    

One after another, the dark-cloaked assassins gave in and accepted their fate.    

Every single one of them were ripped into shreds by the Green Demonic Wolves controlled by Ye Lan and died on the spot — none was spared.    

Standing in the distance, Ye Lan witnessed the tragic deaths of the group of dark-cloaked assassins under the brutal attacks of the Green Demonic Wolves.    

After cleaning up the piles of trash, he entered a nearby cave and sat cross-legged on top of a huge boulder within. Channeling the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, he circulated its energy through his body and meridians to recover his exhausted Genuine Qi and Soul Force.    

Although the Green Demonic Wolves possessed the strength equivalent to that of a Ninth Stage Body Tempering Cultivator, Ye Lan would nevertheless be able to control each of them without consuming too much of his Soul Force.    

Having controlled a total of twenty Green Demonic Wolves, on the other hand, Ye Lan had naturally used up a lot of his Soul Force and was thus overcome with exhaustion.    

*Phew...*    

Upon channeling the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, waves of the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth gathered endlessly and condensed, forming a massive Qi Vortex that whirled above Ye Lan's head.    

Under Ye Lan's control, the pure spirit energy surged through his body and invigorated his meridians, limbs, and bones. Furthermore, it began to replenish his depleted Genuine Qi and Soul Force.    

At that moment, the Qi Vortex in Ye Lan's dantian started whirling intensely once again, forming the ninth Qi Vortex.    

With that, he had broken through to the ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm.    

As the warmth of the sun waved its goodbye during twilight, the dusk of the night enveloped the entire continent whole in its chilliness. The countless stars winked brazenly at the living beings down below while the shy moon hid a part of itself in the endless void above.    

In an attempt to brighten the dusk of the night, the watery moonlight sprinkled onto the boundless Sky Peak Vally as far as the eye could see, casting mottled light and shadows.    

The night breeze blowing past caused even the lush greenery of the forest to quiver.    

Shrouded in the midst of the dusk and moonlight, Sky Peak Valley appeared to be even more mysterious.    

Under the guise of the darkness, the heaven-shaking roars of the beats reverberated through the entire valley as they lingered about the area.    

While the human cultivators returned to the towns, the resting Demonic Beasts had, on the other hand, begun their hunt for food within the valley, killing anything that stands in their way.    

With countless Demonic Beasts roaming around in the dusk of the night, Sky Peak Valley naturally became an even more dangerous area to explore. This was a well-known fact amongst all the cultivators in Lucid Aqua Town.    

Thus, the cultivators of Lucid Aqua Town would only enter Sky Peak Valley during the day. As soon as night has fallen, they would immediately leave the valley. Rarely would anyone put their lives at greater risks to explore the valley at night.    

On the other hand, the young man standing at the entrance of a certain cave remained in the valley.    

This youth was naturally Ye Lan.    

"Having broken through the ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm, it's only a matter of time before I step into the Qi Gathering Realm."    

"But before that, I still need to wander around Sky Peak Valley for a few more days to gather more spirit herbs required to make certain Spirit Pills."    

"In the meantime, I might as well hunt down a few Demonic Beasts and sell their materials in town later for a bit more money."    

Staring deep into the endless void of the night sky above, Ye Lan revealed a cheerful smile as he looked forward to the future.    

With his current cultivation level, he will soon be able to step into the Qi Gathering Realm.    

Upon doing so, the spirit energy circulating in his meridians would naturally become even purer than before.    

Although he possessed the unparalleled cultivation method, the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, Ye Lan was still not satisfied.    

He still needed to refine more Spirit Pills to further strengthen and consolidate his cultivation after breaking through to the Qi Gathering Realm.    

At this moment, he aimed to refine profound-rank low-grade Spirit Pills.    

A Spirit Pill of such quality could not only increase the effectiveness of the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth but also further stabilize and strengthen the cultivation of a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm.    

For this exact reason, Ye Lan decided to roam around Sky Peak Valley for a few more days before stepping into the Qi Gathering Realm.    

By gathering the spirit herbs in advance, he would also save a lot of time if he wanted to refine more Spirit Pills in the future.    

With a flash, Ye Lan merged with the darkness of the pitch-black forest and traversed through the valley like an agile panther.    

While others may see Sky Peak Valley as an extremely dangerous place at night, Ye Lan, on the other hand, saw it as a real treasure trove.    

Since large numbers of Demonic Beasts roamed around at night, Ye Lan found it rather convenient to locate and hunt them down.    

"Alright, I'll first have to prioritize finding the Sky Ice Flower, the Black Heart Lotus, and the Forgotten Fruit. But I'm not even sure whether they exist in SKy Peak Valley or not..."    

Ye Lan pondered as he dashed through the dark forest.    

The Sky Ice Flower, Black Heart Lotus, and Forgotten Fruit are all rare spirit herbs used to refine Spirit Pills or higher quality. They were even more difficult to find than the Fire Lotus Herb.    

Even amidst Sky Peak Valley, the Fire Lotus Herb was already quite difficult to locate.    

Naturally, Ye Lan was quite worried about not being able to find the other three spirit herbs here.    

*Roar!*    

In the midst of his deep thoughts, the roars of the Demonic Beasts sounded from afar.    

The furious roars were unexpectedly followed by a series of miserable human cries, as well as the intense sounds of fighting and explosions.    

"Hmm? I didn't think that there would actually be someone else who came to Sky Peak Valley to hunt at night. How interesting!"    

Upon hearing those cries, Ye Lan paused in his steps and could not help but smile.    

With a light push of his feet, he turned his head and flew rapidly in the direction of the fight.    

Ye Lan wanted to see just who else other than him would actually have the guts to hunt down Demonic Beasts at night in Sky Peak Valley.    

After all, the dangers in Sky Peak Valley peaked at night.    

Thus, very few cultivators in Lucid Aqua Town dared to enter the valley, much less hunt down the Demonic Beasts within, at such a time.    

Naturally, Ye Lan's curiosity was piqued.    

As Ye Lan approached the source of the noise, the ear-splitting roars and the intense fighting sounds became even more apparent.    

At that moment, Ye Lan could sense the spirit energy coming from both the Demonic Beast and the human cultivators, followed by a strong scent of blood.    

"They're cultivators from the Celestial Wolf Gang."    

Hidden in the midst of the dark forest, Ye Lan gazed out into the open area of the forest and noticed many figures clad in purple armor. In an instant, he figured them to be the disciples of the Celestial Wolf Gang.    

The Celestial Wolf Gang is a large faction within Lucid Aqua Town.    

Although they weren't as influential as the Qin Family, Taoist Artifacts Hall, Myriad Medicines Pavilion, and Ye Family, it was nevertheless a well-known gang in Lucid Aqua Town.    

With several hundreds of cultivators in the gang, they naturally held quite a bit of influence even in Lucid Aqua Town as many of their cultivators were in the seventh or ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm.    

Furthermore, they even had quite a few experts in the Qi Gathering Realm.    

Aside from their members, the leader of the Celestial Wolf Gang, Yuv Tianlang, was a cultivator at the peak seventh stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, one of the few experts in Lucid Aqua Town.    

"If I remember correctly, the Celestial Wolf Gang is a united faction with extremely loyal members."    

"Now that I think about it, when my Ye Family was surrounded and massacred by the Qin Family in my previous life, the Celestial Wolf Gang stepped in and even helped me escape alive.    

"If not for them, it would have been nigh impossible for me to escape from the hands of the Qin Family with my life."    

Witnessing the members of the Celestial Wolf Gang being surrounded and attacked by the Ghost Canines, Ye Lan could not help but sink back into the past as he recalled how he has yet to return the favor for saving his life in his previous life.    

"Branch Sect Master Qu, you need to escape! If this goes on, all of us will die in the hands of this Ghost Canines!"    

In the midst of the scene, one of the Celestial Wolf Gang expert clad in purple armor stared at the middle-aged man with a resolute expression and advised.    

"You want me to run? That will absolutely not do. Today, w must kill this group of Ghost Canines and seize their Beast Cores. Otherwise, we will not be able to fully heal the Vice Sect Master's injury!"    

The middle-aged man refused flatly.    

Upon saying that, the man suddenly flashed towards one of the Ghost Canines while grasping tightly onto his Nine Ring Broadsword.
