The deathly silence continued to spread in all directions like a tide. Not a single sound could be heard in the huge square. There was only a terrifying deathly silence that filled every corner.
After killing the City Lord of Hundred Flame City and the City Guards of Hundred Flame City, the Akira Yuki returned and landed in Xiao Fan's arms. Once again, it turned into a sleepy and yawning kitten and laid on Xiao Fan's shoulder with its eyes closed.
Then, before anyone could react, Xiao Fan carried the Akira Yuki and walked into the distance amidst the dead silence. In the end, he disappeared from everyone's sight and went about his own business.
After Xiao Fan left, the crowd finally woke up from their daze after a long while. Then, it became extremely noisy and the sound of discussion shook the sky.
"The City Lord's Mansion of Hundred Flame City was destroyed?" Someone shouted with a different tone.
"Who would have thought that the City Lord's Mansion of Hundred Flame City, which no one dared to provoke, would be destroyed today?" Someone clicked his tongue and said with a complicated voice.
"If the Laozu Sect of Heavenly Sword Mountain from the City Lord's Mansion of Hundred Flame City knew about this, I'm afraid he would be furious!" Someone sighed and said.
"This black-clothed young man is the most arrogant young man I have ever seen. Putting aside the fact that he looked down on Sky Sword Mountain, he even killed the family members of Sky Sword Mountain's disciples. He did not seem to care about the terrifying consequences that would follow. He can be said to be extremely unscrupulous. A person like him is either a complete lunatic, or he has an unimaginable trump card in his hand that allows him to be fearless of Sky Sword Mountain!" Someone let out a long sigh. His expression was extremely strange.
"Not afraid of Heavenly Sword Mountain?" Someone immediately sneered. "Heavenly Sword Mountain is one of the overlords of Spirit Realm. They can even be considered as the leader of the overlords. A fourth level Sky Realm cultivator is just a disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain!"
"Do you think it's possible for such a colossus to not be afraid of Heavenly Sword Mountain?"
"That's right. That black-clothed young man is only at the Sixth Reincarnation Transformation Realm. Although the little girl beside him is terrifyingly powerful, she is only at the fourth level of the Heaven Realm. The two of them can fight against the Sky Sword Mountain? That's not an egg smashing into a rock, that's an ant smashing into a mountain! "Someone else also spoke up and sneered.
"I'll be the banker. Let's see how long this black-clothed young man can live. Who wants to bet? " A middle-aged man with the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat, whose speech and behavior were very wretched, shouted from the crowd.
"I'll bet!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in too!"
...
In an instant, many people gathered around and began to place bets. They wanted to bet on how many days Xiao Fan would be able to live after he destroyed the City Governor's mansion in Hundred Yan City.
The Purple Cloud Hall's Holy Son suddenly turned his head and asked Zhao Lingyan, "Yanyan, after Qingqing finishes collecting the medicinal ingredients tomorrow, are we still going to let this Xiao Fan refine pills?"
The Nine Leaf Holy Son also shook his head and said, "This Xiao Fan is already a dead man. Getting involved with him is a path to disaster!"
The Southern Zhou Noble Son also spoke and nodded, "Quickly inform Qingqing and tell her to stop collecting medicinal ingredients. There should still be time!"
"Okay, I'll inform Qingqing and tell her to stop collecting medicinal ingredients!" Zhao Lingyan was already regretting her decision earlier. At this moment, after hearing her friends' persuasion, she took a deep breath and finally made her final decision.
"Qingqing, you don't need to collect medicinal ingredients anymore. I've already decided not to ask this Xiao Fan to refine pills!" After making her decision, Zhao Lingyan immediately took out her Sound Transmission Bell and informed the Lion's Roar Saintess.
"You don't need to collect medicinal ingredients anymore? What's going on? Yanyan, why did you suddenly change your decision? "The Lion's Roar Saintess' voice was filled with astonishment from the Sound Transmission Bell.
"It's like this, today …" Zhao Lingyan opened her mouth and used the most concise words to tell the Lion's Roar Saintess everything that happened today.
"So that's how it is. This Xiao Fan is not only a swindler, but also a madman. His words cannot be trusted!" After listening to Zhao Lingyan's narration, the Lion's Roar Saintess immediately opened her mouth and came to the same conclusion.
"But Qingqing, I'm really sorry for letting you come here for nothing!" Zhao Lingyan spoke again with a hint of apology in her voice.
"No matter, it's only a small matter. Don't worry about it!" The Lion's Roar Saintess shook her head and said on the other side of the Sound Transmission Bell.
"Okay!" Zhao Lingyan revealed a smile on her face and said.
"Since there's no need to collect medicinal ingredients anymore, I'll go back to find you guys. See you tonight!" The Lion's Roar Saintess smiled and then closed the Sound Transmission Bell.
"See you tonight!" Zhao Lingyan also responded and closed the Sound Transmission Bell.
The Southern Zhou Noble Son turned around and said, "Okay, the matter is over. Let's go. As for this Xiao Fan, we don't need to pay attention to him anymore!"
"Let's go!" The Purple Cloud Saint Child, the Nine Leaf Saint Child, and the other Saints and Saintesses all spoke and turned around to leave.
However, at this moment!
The Sound Transmission Bell in Zhao Lingyan's bosom rang again. The Southern Zhou Noble Son, the Purple Cloud Saint Child, the Nine Leaf Saint Child, and the other heaven's prides of the Great Western Prefecture were a little surprised after hearing it. They all temporarily stopped and looked at Zhao Lingyan.
"Hmm?" Zhao Lingyan was a little surprised and thought that the Lion's Roar Saintess was calling her, so she took out the Sound Transmission Bell again and opened it.
However, when the voice came out, it was not the Lion's Roar Saintess but Mu Yang.
"Saintess!" Mu Yang respectfully said from the other side of the Sound Transmission Bell.
"Eighth Elder, what's the matter?" Zhao Lingyan was surprised and asked.
"It's about the problem of the medicinal ingredients for Young Noble Xiao's pill formula. I have already solved it and gathered all the ingredients. The Saintess has many trivial matters to attend to, so there's no need to trouble an old man like me!" Mu Yang carefully said.
"You have gathered all the ingredients?" Zhao Lingyan was completely stunned. Even the Southern Zhou Noble Son, the Purple Cloud Saint Child, the Nine Leaf Saint Child, and the other heaven's prides of the Great Western Prefecture were all stunned and looked at the Sound Transmission Bell in Zhao Lingyan's hand.
"Yes!" Mu Yang carefully said, "This old man really doesn't have any connections in the outer sect. Originally, I couldn't find the ingredients that I had never heard of before. However, I have an old friend in the Hundred Herbs Sect. I didn't want to trouble him at first, but he happened to come find me today, so I told him about this matter!"
"When he heard this, he immediately said that he knew what kind of pills they were and that he could guarantee that he would be able to get them, so I asked him to gather all the ingredients!"
"Due to the suddenness of this matter, I did not expect it to happen. Therefore, I was in a rush and quickly confirmed it. I did not have time to inform the Saintess about this matter. I could only inform the Saintess immediately after this matter was confirmed …!"
"Okay, I got it!" Mu Yang still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhao Lingyan, and then Zhao Lingyan said indifferently, "I was about to finish gathering the medicinal herbs on my side, but something happened, so I decided to stop gathering medicinal herbs in the end!"
"What happened?" Mu Yang had not received news that Xiao Fan had destroyed the City Governor's Mansion of Hundred Flames City, so he was unaware of this matter. He was stunned and asked.
"It's very complicated and can't be explained in a few sentences. However, you will know very soon, so I don't need to explain. What I want to tell you now is that Eighth Elder, you'd better not look for Xiao Fan to refine pills because that pill formula is fake. That Xiao Fan is a liar!" Zhao Lingyan sighed but did not say much. Instead, she shook her head and said to Mu Yang.
"No way? I don't think Young Master Xiao is a liar. His pill formula isn't fake either. We can give it a try! "Mu Yang said and insisted on his opinion.
"Eighth Elder, when you know everything that happened here, you will understand why I said that he is a liar!" Zhao Lingyan rubbed her head and sighed softly as she felt a headache coming on.
"But I've already given my savings to my old friend. The deal has been confirmed, and my old friend has already set off for the sect. Even if I want to withdraw now, it's already too late!" Mu Yang said helplessly at this time.
"This …!" Hearing this, Zhao Lingyan did not know how to get up.
The Hundred Herbs Sect was one of the big sects in the Great Western Prefecture. Unlike other sects, the Hundred Herbs Sect had always focused on refining pills. There were many herbs and pills that others could not obtain or even see before in the sect.
However, the Hundred Herbs Sect rarely appeared in the world and had little contact with the outside world. Without a special relationship, the Hundred Herbs Sect would not receive outsiders. Zhao Lingyan did not have the connections of the Hundred Herbs Sect, so she could only look for other channels to gather herbs.
Although she did not have the connections of the Hundred Herbs Sect and had never had any contact with them, Zhao Lingyan knew the rules of the Hundred Herbs Sect. Once a deal was confirmed, it could not be withdrawn. Otherwise, the Hundred Herbs Sect would blacklist it forever and no longer have any contact with it.
If Mu Yang withdrew the deal now, not only would the Hundred Herbs Sect blacklist Mu Yang, but the entire Eternal River Sect would also be blacklisted.
Even though the Eternal River Sect had not established a connection with the Hundred Herbs Sect yet, there was a possibility that they would in the future. Therefore, for the sake of the Eternal River Sect's future interests, this deal could not be canceled. It could only be carried out as agreed.
"This, no one can do anything about it!" The South Region Crown Prince and the others were also helpless about this matter and could only shake their heads and say.
"Since the deal cannot be canceled, and I still trust Young Master Xiao, I'll look for Young Master Xiao tomorrow to refine pills!" Mu Yang said softly. "Let's give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, we'll only know in the end."
Zhao Lingyan did not speak and only remained silent. When Mu Yang heard Zhao Lingyan's silence, he did not dare to speak either. He held his breath and waited for Zhao Lingyan to speak.
A moment later!
"Since the plan can't keep up with the changes, then we'll go look for Xiao Fan tomorrow to refine pills!" Zhao Lingyan said in a low voice. "However, I'll personally go with you tomorrow. I'd like to see when he'll take off his cheater mask."
"Alright!" Mu Yang agreed and nodded.
"Why don't we come together tomorrow and see how long this Xiao Fan can keep up with his tricks?" The Nine Leaf Holy Son said playfully.
