When Duan Ling Tian followed the crowd out, he heard the sound of wind whistling in the air, attracting everyone's attention.
Meng Qiyou returned under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Moreover, he was carrying a person in his hand.
It was an old man in a light gray robe. Blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth, and his aura was weak. He was on the verge of death.
His eyes were filled with indignation.
"With your strength as an ordinary lesser deity, it would be difficult for you to escape from under my nose even if you were at your peak."
"Besides, your old injuries haven't healed. Even if you fight with all your might, you can only unleash seventy to eighty percent of your full strength … How dare you try to snatch the Meng Family's Divine Pills with that kind of strength? You must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall!"
When Meng Qiyou returned to the Still Water Pavilion, he casually threw the old man to the ground and raised his hand to slap him to death. However, he did not make the old man disappear completely from this world like he did to the middle-aged man who had rashly knelt in front of him and blocked his way.
He left the old man's body intact.
"Lesser deity?!"
Many people had not realized it just now. Now that they heard Meng Qiyou's words and recalled the aura that had escaped from the old man's body before he died, they could not help but gasp.
This was actually a lesser deity.
But now, he was dead.
"This divine alchemist from the Meng Family is so strong!"
"This divine alchemist had a great reputation before he became a deity. However, ever since he became a deity, he has been living in seclusion. It is said that he is studying the art of refining pills … Gradually, no one knew how strong he was. Some even said that he was the weakest among the lesser deities in the Meng Family. Who would have thought that he would be so terrifying when he attacked. "
"If he was just an ordinary lesser deity, this person would not be weaker than him at his peak. Even if he could only unleash seventy to eighty percent of his strength due to his injuries, he would not have died at his hands."
"In terms of strength, this divine alchemist from the Meng Family is probably not a match for the other lesser deities in the Meng Family."
…
Beside Duan Lingtian, a group of people walked out of the Still Water Pavilion. After the initial shock, they could not help but whisper among themselves.
"But … I didn't expect our Mountainside City to have such a lesser deity. How surprising."
"Yeah, I've never heard of it."
"Where did this lesser deity come from?"
…
The corpse's appearance was complete, but no one in the crowd recognized him.
However, he was a lesser deity after all, and his death still caused a certain amount of commotion.
At the same time, in a corner of the crowd where no one was paying attention to, a young man stood there expressionlessly. His gaze never left the corpse. If someone looked closely at him, they would see that his body was trembling slightly.
The young man was dressed in green. He had an ordinary face and a medium build. There was nothing outstanding about him. However, when such a person looked at the corpse on the ground, there was a trace of imperceptible regret in the depths of his eyes.
Fortunately, no one was paying special attention to him right now. Otherwise, they would definitely notice his abnormality.
Even the Duan Lingtian did not notice his presence.
At present, the Duan Lingtian was reaching out to take the Divine Ascension Pill from Meng Qiyou as he listened to Meng Qiyou's apology. "My young friend Ling Tian, I'm really sorry to have startled you.
"However, this Divine Ascension Pill can be said to have been stained with the blood of a lesser deity. This is a good sign … My young friend Ling Tian, who knows, you might directly break through to deification after consuming it."
Meng Qiyou smiled.
The current Meng Qiyou had a calm expression and a gentle smile.
If one had not seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this was the person who had just killed a lesser deity.
"Thank you for your kind words, Alchemist Meng."
When the Duan Lingtian received the Divine Ascension Pill, he also handed 3,000 Divine Stones to Meng Qiyou in front of everyone. The latter also accepted it with a smile.
Right after that, the Duan Lingtian swallowed the Divine Ascension Pill in his hand in front of everyone. This also attracted the attention of everyone present.
In fact, when the Divine Ascension Pill was in the hands of the Duan Lingtian, the eyes of the onlookers never left the Divine Ascension Pill in his hands. Many of their eyes were filled with intense greed.
However, their greed completely disappeared after the Duan Lingtian swallowed the Divine Ascension Pill in front of everyone.
This was because this also meant that even if they killed the Duan Lingtian, they would not be able to obtain the Divine Ascension Pill.
Of course, there were also some people who were thinking:
Since this young man can take out 3,000 Divine Stones to buy the Divine Ascension Pill, does this mean that he has more Divine Stones in his hands?
At the thought of this, many people became greedy again.
However, when they saw the corpse of the lesser deity lying on the ground, their hearts sank again. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the Duan Lingtian and Meng Qiyou left and disappeared before their eyes.
From beginning to end, no one dared to follow them.
They were all worried that Meng Qiyou would attack the people who were tailing the Duan Lingtian.
"Take care of it."
After Meng Qiyou watched the Duan Lingtian leave, his originally gentle expression turned solemn in an instant. After bidding farewell to Meng Yuan, he left at once.
Naturally, he had intentionally left the corpse of the lesser deity behind.
By doing so, firstly, it would showcase Meng Qiyou's strength. Secondly, it would build momentum for the Meng Clan and allow others to gain a better understanding of the Meng Clan … Even a lesser deity in the Meng Clan could easily kill lesser deities outside!
After the Duan Lingtian and Meng Qiyou left one after another, the inconspicuous young man in green standing in the crowd turned around and walked into a deserted alley. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Meng Qiyou, the Meng Family, Duan Lingtian … One day, I will make all of you pay with your blood!"
This young man in green was the descendant of the lesser deity Meng Qiyou had just killed.
His name was Luo Teng Yun. He was only a little over 1,000 years old, but his cultivation base had already reached the level of a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. He had even cultivated to the peak of the Demigod Realm. He was only one step away from successfully breaking through to become a Deity.
The Lesser Deity who had died was his Grand Ancestor.
In fact, apart from his ancestor, the rest of the people in his lineage were mediocre. It was difficult for them to even produce a Celestial Emperor. His ancestor was overjoyed that an exception like him had appeared.
It was also because of this that his ancestor had spent so much effort to nurture him, allowing him to achieve his current level of attainment in just a little over 1,000 years old.
A few months ago, when the Divine Transcendence Pill had appeared in the Meng Family of Mountain Overlook City, his ancestor had set his eyes on it. However, although his ancestor was a lesser deity, he did not have 3,000 taels of Divine Stones with him.
Since he did not have enough Divine Stones, his ancestor had thought of ways to gather them. He had thought that it would be fine as long as he could gather 3,000 taels of Divine Stones before the Divine Transcendence Pill was sold.
However, plans could not keep up with changes.
They had never imagined that a Heaven Illumination Sect disciple would appear out of nowhere and take out enough Divine Stones to purchase the Divine Transcendence Pill.
Seeing that the Divine Transcendence Pill was about to fall into someone else's hands, his ancestor could no longer hold himself back and made his move.
Although he could have waited for the Heaven Illumination Sect disciple to obtain the Divine Transcendence Pill before making his move, it was not safe to do so. This was because no one could be certain that the other party would not consume the Divine Transcendence Pill as soon as he obtained it, and the possibility of that happening was very high.
However, even he did not expect that his ancestor would die on the spot when he made his move.
The Meng Family's Divine Pill Master, Meng Qiyou, was said to be the weakest deity in the Meng Family by the people of Mountain Overlook City. He was not as incompetent as the public made him out to be. In fact, there might not even be a lesser deity in the Meng Family who could match up to him.
An erroneous piece of information had ended the life of his ancestor.
A single Divine Transcendence Pill had cost his ancestor his life.
He wanted revenge.
Everything he had was given to him by his ancestor. Now that his ancestor had died because of someone else, he would not let anyone who was involved in this matter off.
Luo Tengyun left Mountain Overlook City on that very day with hatred in his heart.
The day he ascended to godhood would be the day he returned to Mountain Overlook City!
He was confident in himself.
His cultivation talent was not his most outstanding aspect. His most outstanding aspect was his comprehension ability, the ability to comprehend the profundities of laws.
The profundities of laws he had comprehended now had far surpassed his ancestor's. As long as he ascended to godhood, he would not fear even those Intermediate Deities in Mountain Overlook City!
The day he returned to godhood would be the day of bloodshed in Mountain Overlook City!
… …
Duan Lingtian did not know that he had been targeted by a super genius from the vicinity of Mountain Overlook City. Furthermore, the genius viewed him as a mortal enemy.
An invincible Demigod who had the confidence to sweep through Mountain Overlook City after ascending to godhood. In the vicinity of Mountain Overlook City, the genius could even be called a 'peerless genius', let alone a super genius.
This was because there had never been such an outstanding existence in the history of Mountain Overlook City and its vicinity.
After Duan Lingtian returned to the inn, he returned to his room to digest the medicinal effects of the Divine Transcendence Pill.
On the way back, he could faintly sense that the final bottleneck on his path to godhood had loosened.
The day of godhood was not far away.
While Duan Lingtian was cultivating in seclusion, Mountain Overlook City, which was originally as tranquil as stagnant water, was thoroughly bustling with activity.
To the people of Mountain Overlook City, the second young master of the Qian Family, Qian Fei, leading a group of Deity experts to annihilate a village branch in the Endless Mountains was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
However, the appearance of a Heaven Illumination Sect disciple in Mountain Overlook City was a major matter worthy of praise.
Similarly, the matter of the Meng Family's Divine Alchemist Meng Qiyou killing a Lesser Deity who wanted to snatch the Divine Transcendence Pill was also a major matter.
… …
Qian Family Estate.
"Second Son, I heard that you recently went to the Endless Mountains and annihilated the Southern Manor branch of the Duan Manor for the sake of your newly married concubine?"
Qian Family Patriarch Qian Yuejin looked at his second son, Qian Fei, and asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, Father."
Qian Fei was arrogant and despotic outside, but in front of his father, he was extremely obedient and docile like a cat.
"You're usually bossy and despotic, but as long as you don't provoke someone you shouldn't, it's fine."
Qian Yuejin's face suddenly darkened as he said in a deep voice, "Recently, a Heaven Illumination Sect disciple came to Mountain Overlook City. He's staying at the Carefree Inn under the Celestial Sect. You must not offend or provoke him."
"If you provoke him, no one in the Qian Family can protect you, including me."
As he spoke, Qian Yuejin's tone became increasingly solemn.
