Chapter 389: Guest Elder
Indeed, the sky was blanketed with Purple Flame.
The terrifying scorching heat forced dozens of idle elders to hastily retreat.
Afterward, they all looked at Mu Qingyun with difficulty etched on their faces.
Mu Qingyun's face turned extremely unsightly, "Purple Flame Yi Xiao truly lives up to his reputation."
"Idle elders, fall back. The nine elders, follow me."
The nine elders naturally referred to the elders with numerical titles from two to nine.
All nine elders from Medicine King Valley were at the mid-stage of Heavenly Origin Realm.
Including myself, at the late-stage.
Mu Qingyun was one hundred percent confident in taking down Yi Xiao.
Ten people once again joined forces and advanced.
Xiao Yi created a Purple Flame Barrier to protect Ye Ming.
Then, with a flash, he distanced himself from him.
The combat at the Heavenly Origin Realm was incredibly formidable, even the slightest aftershock was more than Ye Ming could bear.
The vast expanse of Purple Flame easily trapped the elders.
Only Mu Qingyun managed to break through the Purple Flame's encirclement and attack Xiao Yi directly.
Xiao Yi was undaunted, of course.
His fists were wrapped in extremely compressed Purple Flame as he unleashed a punch.
Mu Qingyun let out a cold laugh, "You overestimate yourself."
With a 'boom,' a giant roar echoed.
Xiao Yi staggered back dozens of steps, while Mu Qingyun remained unmoved.
"Yi Xiao, you may have a reputation, but you are no match for me," Mu Qingyun said with disdain.
"I have no interest in a drawn-out battle with you, simply surrender."
"Wood Realm Seal."
The Wood Realm Seal, an Earth-rank Peak Martial Technique from Medicine King Valley.
Executed by Mu Qingyun, a late-stage Heavenly Origin martial artist, its power was immense.
Countless dark, thick vines appeared out of nowhere.
They then intertwined in an extremely intricate manner, forming massive webs.
The webs, seemingly due to this arrangement, became extremely powerful.
From all directions, the webs surged, cutting off all of Xiao Yi's paths of retreat.
Before Xiao Yi could even react, the four large webs connected, forming a massive net prison.
"Break for me," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.
Just as he was about to unleash another punch.
Mu Qingyun was faster, uttering a low shout, "Fire Realm Seal."
Mysterious patterns of flame instantly struck the webs.
In a flash, flames surged upon the web.
The net prison had turned into a flaming cage.
The cage was constantly reinforced by a mysterious force from the outside, making it extremely robust.
Xiao Yi launched dozens of punches in succession but couldn't affect the cage in the slightest.
This combination of two sealing techniques, bolstered by the coordination of the Wood and Fire attributes.
The net prison had exceeded the boundaries of what Xiao Yi could currently break.
Such was the power of a late-stage Heavenly Origin expert, who, if resolved to deal with Xiao Yi,
could capture him in a single encounter.
Mu Qingyun, as the Great Elder of the Medicine King Valley, was one of the peak powerhouses among the Flame Martial Kingdom's upper echelons.
His cultivation and strength were imaginable.
"Hmph," Mu Qingyun snorted coldly, looking at Yi Xiao inside the cage with contempt.
"Yi Xiao, you devoured our Medicine King Valley's most precious Elixir in secret."
"That was made from countless rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored by our valley for hundreds of years."
"I have no choice but to kill you."
"Even the Demon Hunting Hall can't say much about this."
With that said, Mu Qingyun no longer glanced at Xiao Yi, his figure flashed next to Ye Ming.
With a wave of his hand, he easily broke through the Purple Flame Barrier protecting Ye Ming.
"As for you," Mu Qingyun's face turned cold, "you caused such disaster to our Medicine Tower."
"Although it's not entirely your fault."
"But, you cannot escape your sins."
"Losing your cultivation will serve as a minor punishment for a major lesson."
"Elder, you dare?" Xiao Yi within the cage shouted angrily.
"If Ye Ming loses a single hair, I will make your entire Medicine King Valley restless."
No sooner had his voice fallen.
A destructive aura suddenly enveloped the entire space.
Causing the complexion of everyone present to drastically change.
The source of that aura was Yi Xiao within the cage.
In his hand was a swirling mass of Four-colored Flames.
"What is that?" Mu Qingyun exclaimed in shock.
Even as a powerhouse of his cultivation level, he could feel a lethal threat emanating from it.
At this moment, he was incredibly alarmed.
"Break!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly.
The Four-colored Flames in his hand exploded with a bang.
The originally indestructible flame cage shattered instantly.
Xiao Yi leaped out, his speed reaching an extreme.
The next second, he was right beside Ye Ming.
"Trying to rescue someone from me?" Mu Qingyun let out a cold snort.
But seeing the four-colored flames Yi Xiao was condensing again, panic surged through his heart.
It was during this moment of panic, Xiao Yi instantly picked up Ye Ming.
With a flash, they left the 33rd space, fleeing outside the Medicine Tower.
"Damn it, don't even think about escaping." Mu Qingyun immediately pursued.
A group of elders also swiftly gave chase.
Only Elder Mu's expression turned ugly, but after hesitating in place for a second, he too stepped forward to follow.
Xiao Yi's speed was indeed incredibly fast.
Within a short period, they had reached outside the Medicine Tower.
Of course, the likes of Mu Qingyun were also extremely fast.
Almost at the same time, they had once again surrounded Xiao Yi.
"Get out of my way," Xiao Yi demanded in a cold voice.
"Impossible," Mu Qingyun retorted firmly, "The essence of the rare medicinal materials accumulated over a thousand years in my Medicine King Valley is all in you."
"You shall not leave unscathed."
"You..." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.
"Good, very good."
"Hahaha, so this is the so-called Medicine King Valley, this is the so-called Alchemy Holy Land."
He suddenly remembered, Elder Yi had once caused a commotion in Medicine King Valley as well.
Although he did not know what happened back then,
But, seeing Mu Qingyun's attitude now, Xiao Yi had lost all his good impressions of Medicine King Valley.
Originally, returning that massive Elixir Elixir wasn't difficult for him.
But Mu Qingyun's arrogance and the way he unrationally blamed the incident on Ye Ming,
Made Xiao Yi utterly refuse to accept it, not wanting to be subjected to such an undeserved indignity.
Of course, perhaps in Mu Qingyun's view, the Elixir Elixir being consumed must have been digested already.
He didn't know that the Elixir Elixir was in fact still intact.
But, he definitely should not have treated Xiao Yi this way.
The strong always have their pride.
"Good, very good. I'd like to see if Medicine King Valley can stop Yi today."
Xiao Yi shouted loudly, protecting Ye Ming with one hand while condensing the four-colored flames with the other.
"All of you, attack together," Mu Qingyun commanded loudly.
Dozens of elders' auras exploded all at once.
"Wood Realm Seal."
"Fire Realm Seal."
Mu Qingyun, combined with the dozens of elders, launched a Fire and Wood Dual Attribute seal whose power was bound to be terrifying.
A larger net of fire suddenly attacked Xiao Yi.
The four-colored flames in Xiao Yi's hand shot forth.
"Explode."
There was a violent explosion upon contact with the giant fire net.
The fire net was blasted to the point of near dispersion but not completely shattered.
Mu Qingyun and the group of elders redoubled their efforts.
The fire net kept closing in on Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi kept retreating.
With each retreat, he unleashed four-colored flames.
Every explosion razed a thousand meters of Medicine King Valley to dust.
"Damn it," Mu Qingyun said with a grimace, "We can't drag this out any longer."
"Otherwise, the entire Medicine King Valley will be destroyed."
"Elder Mu, go fetch the Inheritance Primordial Artifact, I will personally take down Yi Xiao."
As Mu Qingyun's words fell,
Just at that moment, an authoritative and aged voice echoed through the entire Medicine King Valley.
"There's no need."
A streak of light rapidly approached from afar.
The person was an old man.
As he landed, the expressions of those present changed suddenly, and they hurriedly paid their respects.
"Greetings to the Valley Master."
Indeed, the old man was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
"Mhmm," the old man nodded, then looked towards Xiao Yi.
"So this is the famed Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master recently making waves, I gather?"
"I wonder what matter brings you to cause such a disturbance in my Medicine King Valley today?"
Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, "You might as well ask Mu Qingyun about this matter."
Mu Qingyun glanced at Xiao Yi with a cold face, then reported the events to the old man with a bow of his hands.
The old man who was Medicine King Valley's Valley Master, his expression shifted constantly.
In the end, it returned to calm.
"I see," the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley nodded understandingly.
"I wonder if friend Yi Xiao would be interested in becoming a Guest Elder of my Medicine King Valley?"
"Hm?" Xiao Yi was taken aback, then furrowed his brows.
The surrounding people, including Mu Qingyun, were a bit slow to react.
...
