Chapter 1297: Ju Chun the Old Demon!
However, Zhou Yu and the others did not notice anything unusual around them at all.
Liu Tu was just about to speak when, at that moment,
A little distance in front of them, right where the Hong Venerated One had been staring, there was a sudden violent spatial fluctuation, followed by the appearance of a pitch-black crack.
A middle-aged man in a black robe stepped out.
"Hong Venerated One, long time no see. Your Excellency's strength has improved quite a bit."
Seeing this person, the Hong Venerated One snorted coldly.
"I wondered who it was."
"Sixth Elder of the Yinying Sect, Ju Chun Elder Demon."
"Why have you sneaked into my Pill God Temple, for what reason?"
Upon hearing the Hong Venerated One's words, Zhou Yu's pupils sharply contracted.
This middle-aged man turned out to be an elder of the Yinying Sect?
For a moment, Zhou Yu couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
This person named Ju Chun Elder Demon, his cultivation was completely beyond Zhou Yu's comprehension. It was evident that he was much more formidable than that Fu Yi.
If it hadn't been for the Hong Venerated One's discovery, the consequences... Zhou Yu didn't dare to imagine.
At this moment, Ju Chun said indifferently:
"Hong Venerated One, you and I are old acquaintances, so I won't be polite with you."
"Hand over this kid named Zhou Yu to me, and I can exchange for a treasure. Just name what you want, as long as it's not excessive, I can comply."
Upon hearing these words, the Hong Venerated One sneered.
"Ju Chun, I advise you to give up on that idea."
"Zhou Yu is a guest of my Pill God Temple, and I have personally come today to ensure his safety."
"You think you can take him with just a word? Where would that leave my dignity?"
Ju Chun's face sank.
"Hong Venerated One, I have already given you enough respect."
"Could it be that you want to fight with me?"
The Hong Venerated One sneered.
"If it comes to a fight, a fight it is. Do you think I am afraid of you?"
"Just right, let me see what progress you have made in these hundreds of years."
"Very well, as you wish." With that, Ju Chun's figure flashed and instantly vanished above the clouds.
The Hong Venerated One sneered, fearless, and followed right after him.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the clouds.
At this moment, Luoluo tightly grasped Zhou Yu's hand.
"Zhou Yu, we... what should we do?"
"Should we leave first?"
"Leave?" Zhou Yu frowned, glancing uneasily at the clouds above.
At this time, Liu Tu beside them also spoke up:
"Brother Zhou, Miss Lin is right, let's go quickly."
"This level of battle is not something you and I can interfere with. We should head to the Master Hall immediately, it will be safe there."
Hearing Liu Tu also say this,
Zhou Yu didn't persist any longer.
Under Liu Tu's guidance, Zhou Yu and the others quickly made their way toward the Master Hall.
As they were leaving, a tremendous roaring sound erupted in the sky.
Zhou Yu looked back, only to see that the clouds had been completely shredded, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power violently turbulent, Zhou Yu's Divine Sense, not to mention probing within, couldn't even get close.
A flash of fear crossed Zhou Yu's eyes.
He was already convinced in his heart that the two of them were likely both at Emperor Realm cultivation.
A battle at the Emperor Realm level was indeed not something he could meddle in right now.
...
Led by Liu Tu, Zhou Yu and his group hurried for half a day before finally arriving near the Master Hall.
The main island of the Pill God Temple was located in the center of a vast lake within this space.
The lake was so large that even with Zhou Yu's eyesight, he couldn't see its boundaries.
In the middle of the lake, there were several large interconnecting islands.
On the largest of these islands, even from a distance of tens of kilometers, Zhou Yu could see a massive complex of structures.
Evidently, that was where the Master Hall of the Pill God Temple was located.
As they gradually approached this giant island, Zhou Yu and the others were stunned by the sight before them.
The scale of construction on this island was far larger than it appeared from a distance, and upon getting closer, they could clearly sense an ancient aura emanating from it.
It was apparent that these buildings had been around for at least several thousand years.
Zhou Yu attempted to probe with his Divine Sense, only to discover that all the buildings here were protected by special barriers, and his Divine Sense couldn't penetrate them in the slightest.
However, even with just the naked eye, they could see numerous people moving about on the island.
At this moment, Liu Tu, with a proud expression, began giving Zhou Yu and the others a basic introduction.
"Do not underestimate this island."
"Those who can enter this island are individuals with decent talent in alchemy within this space..."
"These individuals have been selected through many layers of screening!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu curiously asked:
"Are these people all from the outside world?"
Liu Tu shook his head and replied:
"No."
"They are ordinary people who have lived here for generations in this space."
"Aside from us, the people of the Pill God Temple, there are a large number of ordinary people here. Most of their ancestors were once disciples of the Pill God Temple, but over time, they became ordinary and led the lives of common people here."
"Aside from them, only a few have come from the outside world."
Hearing Liu Tu's introduction, Lin Luoluo's eyes sparkled.
She had always lived in Qinzhou and never imagined that such a place could exist in this world.
She couldn't help but exclaim:
"The people living here must be very happy, right?"
"They probably don't have to worry about working, do they?"
Liu Tu chuckled lightly.
"I suppose so."
"For those living here, their greatest dream is to enter the Pill God Temple. Of course, if they can't enter, just helping the temple to grow some Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass is enough for them to lead a good life."
"Moreover, among them are quite a few people dedicated to researching how to cultivate better Spiritual Medicine. The Pill God Temple will also give these people additional rewards."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of the Pill God Temple. In this way, they certainly won't be lacking Spiritual Medicine."
Liu Tu smiled and said:
"Pretty much."
Just as they were speaking, the group had already set foot on the island.
A Qi Refining Saint Realm Martial Artist had long been waiting on the island.
"Special Envoy Liu!"
"The Deputy Shrine Leader is waiting for you, please go over immediately."
