Chapter 1270 1229: Emerald Mountain, Dragon Bamboo, Palace

A few days ago, to be honest, Cui Ming didn't pay much attention to Chen Fei or consider him important. But after these few days...

Chen Fei, the Lan Family, the Nine Nether Palace, the Eternal Temple... On that day of battle, everyone knew that the Minor Heavenly Position characters of the Lan Family were slaughtered by this man. Later on, it was rumored that an extremely powerful figure suspected to be Great Heaven Rank appeared personally to help him wipe out the Lan Family!

What kind of foundation is this, what kind of dominance?

Such a person, not to mention in the eyes of the public, even in the eyes of someone like him, an infamous figure, he now feels the other party is even more ruthless! Absolutely a character who wouldn't hesitate to kill. And such a sinister character, no one wants to provoke him.

On the other side, when Jianng Wanli saw Chen Fei arrive, his expression instantly became vicious and sinister, murmuring coldly, "This little bastard really is like a ghost that won't leave."

On the day of the Lan Family's annihilation battle, he planned to take the opportunity to kill Chen Fei. But who knew, things wouldn't go according to his wishes, this little bastard actually found a Great Heaven Rank person to shield him! As a result, the helpers he summoned were scared away. What a humiliation is this!?

This is a very difficult situation for the proud and arrogant Pill King Jianng Wanli, a distinguished King Level Alchemist, to accept! Precisely because of this, he, unwilling to concede, also paid a huge price and made promises to bring in a new helper…

"Elder Tu, that's the person I told you about before." Jianng Wanli's gaze was vicious as he secretly pointed at Chen Fei toward the inconspicuous black-robed man behind him and spoke coldly.

"Him?" A contemptuous old voice spoke blandly, the black-robed man's hoarse voice sounded like the sharp tearing of rough cloth, making it unpleasant to listen to, lightly saying, "Jianng Wanli, you're really getting dim-witted with age! A junior who isn't even True Monarch Realm, and you actually invite Tu Qianshan to kill him? When they came to find me before, I thought you wanted me to kill Qi Xuchong instead."

Jianng Wanli's expression changed, feeling uncomfortable, but when thinking about the terrifying reputation of the old man, he didn't dare to say much more, only slowly explained, "Elder Tu, precisely because this little bastard isn't yet True Monarch Realm that I want him dead, you know, a few days ago during the great battle at Earth Martial City against the Lan Family, he single-handedly killed four Minor Heavenly Position individuals!"

"He single-handedly killed four Minor Heavenly Position individuals? Him?" The black-robed man squinted his eyes, with a trace of his contemptuous gaze faded. Then he shook his head slightly, his eyes fell on Chen Fei to size him up. At the same time, Chen Fei, sensing something, looked over, meeting his gaze.

"Hmm?" The black-robed man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he revealed a casual smile towards Chen Fei before moving his gaze away, looking at Jianng Wanli with a smile, saying, "Indeed, if you want to kill him, this boy does have some significance."

"Anyway, I'll leave the boy to you, Elder Tu." Jianng Wanli bowed slightly with a grim face towards the black-robed man.

"Rest assured. Taking people's money and relieving their worries, this principle Tu Qianshan still understands. But, you remember what you promised me, right?" A cold, scrutinizing look fell on Jianng Wanli, the black-robed man said indifferently, "You know what the result will be if you can't refine a satisfactory King Pill, right?"

The indifferent tone, although plain, pierced Jianng Wanli's ears like a knife, causing a change in his expression, and he hurriedly assured, "Elder Tu, rest assured. There is a very powerful inheritance from a Grandmaster of Pill Path up the mountain. As long as I'm able to obtain it, the King Pill is no problem at all."

"I hope so." The black-robed man gave a casual glance at Jianng Wanli, then closed his eyes for rest, speaking no more.

Meanwhile, Chen Fei joined up with Li Pangbo, Duan Shishan, and other elites of the Qi Family Fort.

"Brother Chen." Long Yi appeared in front of Chen Fei, beaming with excitement.

"Huh, you broke through too?" Seeing the aura on Long Yi similar to that of Dark Demon Cui Ming, Chen Fei was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise.

"That's right! This time I finally got ahead of you, didn't I? You won't believe it, I found an ancient palace here while I was alone, and within it, there was a small corner of a sermon book. I listened for less than half an hour and successfully broke through! Impressive, right?" Long Yi said boastfully.

"Sermon book? Seriously, is there any more? Show it to me." Chen Fei's expression was instantly shocked, sermon books are no ordinary matter, only those above True Monarch Realm, the legendary undefeatable Saint Infant entities have the qualifications to record them.

Is there such a thing buried in this ancient underground city!?

"No more! That corner of the sermon book was all there is, and after I listened, it disappeared." Long Yi shook his head.

"No more? You really have some good luck!" Chen Fei shook his head, somewhat envious. Although the sermon book isn't as important to him as the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, it's still extremely precious and valuable.

If he could obtain it, he might immediately break through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, maybe even peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer! Unfortunately, it's already gone…

"You've arrived?" At this moment, Li Pangbo led a wax-faced, skinny tall man forward. The latter raised his hand slightly towards Chen Fei and said, "Hello, I am Duan Shishan of the Qi Family Fort... I was also present during the battle a few days ago, and I must say, you are impressive."

"Not at all, Elder you're too kind. I am Chen Fei, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chen Fei smiled and then asked, "Seniors, have you found the location of the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo?"

"Look there." The wax-faced man, Duan Shishan, pointed his hand toward the top of the Green Mountain Peak, where a massive bamboo tree towering several hundred meters stood, strong as a dragon, its old bark cracked, seemingly having undergone many years to grow to its current state.

Besides, the enormous bamboo trees were exceptionally peculiar, especially their leaves, resembling translucent white dragons, as if carved from jade. Upon seeing the bamboo trees, Chen Fei couldn't help but breathe quicker.

"Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo!"

"... I've finally found you."

Chen Fei stared intensely at the huge Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, clenching his fists. Whether he would rise against adversity or fail miserably depended on this chance! No matter what, he had to obtain this Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo.

With this thought, he almost immediately rushed towards the Green Mountain Peak! But halfway there, he abruptly stopped because, in front of him, an invisible shield blocked his way.

"Restriction? Or formation?" Chen Fei reached out to touch the transparent shield, realizing it was what kept everyone out; otherwise, he might have already been too late.

"You think you can break this Pill Formation? Ridiculous!" At this moment, a mocking voice filled with contempt and sarcasm rang out. Chen Fei turned to see it was Jianng Wanli.

"Pill Formation, huh?" Chen Fei squinted slightly; he was aware of it but unfamiliar. Then he chuckled softly and said, "I remember you were present that day, right? Why didn't you and your two accomplices show yourselves to kill me?"

"You already noticed us?" Jianng Wanli's eyes narrowed, then he sneered coldly, "Hmph, isn't it simple to kill you? This place is fittingly a burial site; if you die here, it's a proper resting place."

"Indeed. Burial sites are for the dead... you seem well suited here." Chen Fei laughed dismissively, countering.

Instantly, Jianng Wanli's face turned ghastly, glaring at Chen Fei before snorting coldly and leaving, face full of malice. He knew that the Inheritance Palace on this mountain had yet to open... Once he obtained the inheritance, he vowed to kill this nasty little bastard. Hmph!

"It seems he knows something." Watching Jianng Wanli's receding figure, Chen Fei murmured softly, also leaving the shielded area. The shield was truly daunting; just standing there, he felt pricked all over, uncomfortable. Given this, it was no wonder that despite being surrounded by so many people, not one was willing to approach.

Indeed, this Green Mountain Peak and Pill Formation were strange.

Thus, Chen Fei and Jianng Wanli's people were at an impasse here. During this time, many came and went, and some couldn't resist trying to forcefully break the Pill Formation, but the results were extremely tragic!

A minor heavenly position character died on the spot.

Everyone went silent, not daring to act rashly.

Soon, individuals began to leave one after another, decreasing the number of people gathered around the Green Mountain Peak. Jianng Wanli seemed very patient, and similarly, Chen Fei was very patient as well.

After more than ten days, suddenly, an incredible scene unfolded.

"What's that? Moonlight? Damn, isn't this underground! Why is there suddenly moonlight here!?"

A touch of moonlight, cool and gentle like flowing water, eerily spread, leaving everyone stunned. Some exclaimed in shock.

Immediately following this, 'Boom...' a loud noise, the hillside of the Green Mountain Peak mysteriously cracked open. Then, 'Buzz,' a mysterious palace appeared before everyone's eyes. In front of the palace were ten lifelike giant beast statues.

"The inheritance palace of Yee Hua Pill King! You have finally appeared." Witnessing this, Jianng Wanli's eyes were fixed on the palace, moved and murmuring greedily.

Hearing this, even the black-robed person beside him couldn't help but change expression in surprise, "What did you say? The inheritance palace of the first Pill King, Yee Hua Pill King, from six hundred years ago!?"

This statement immediately stirred up an overwhelming sensation at the site.

'Whoosh!' a sound echoed, and suddenly someone rushed out, rapidly heading towards the palace. But then, a pitch-black beast's claw silently swept in, grabbing the figure, and a squeeze, 'Pfft...' fresh blood burst into the sky, staining the firmament.

"Gasp! Wasn't that the True Monarch Dong Qingxuan from Four Directions Demon Sect who died?" Upon witnessing this scene, many people were horrified, gasping coldly. Then, they tremblingly turned their gazes to the ten statues in front of the palace, which slowly opened their eyes, human-like, coldly gazing at them, indifferent to all.

On the claw of one statue, there remained dark red, glaring fresh blood, dripping drip...drip...
