Chapter 501 - 508: Joining Forces

But he had never imagined her talent was so terrifying. If he had known, he would have risked offending the Ghost King Valley to keep Song Wanning in the Qingfeng Gang.

Now, it was too late for regrets.

Song Bangzhu clenched his fists, silently praying for Wu Mingxu and Fang Lan to arrive quickly.

He could not accept Wu Rouyun breaking through to the Mahayana Realm!!!

He wouldn’t allow it!!!

Voices rose and fell in the courtyard, and Wu Rouyun’s face was as black as soot.

She was afraid these people would anger Song Wanning and cause her to leave.

"If any of you continue spouting nonsense, please leave now! The Wolf Fang Gang does not welcome you!!!"

Her sharp cry finally silenced the courtyard.

"Wu Rouyun, we’re just concerned about you. How can you be so ungrateful?"

"Exactly! I think you should stop putting on a brave face."

Some wanted to take the opportunity to kick her while she was down, but the more rational gang leaders had remained silent from the start.

The smart ones remained neutral. Most of those who had spoken up were from gangs with a grudge against the Wolf Fang Gang.

Wu Rouyun was truly enraged now. Her aura flared to its full extent, and a longsword condensed from Yin Qi appeared in her hand.

Just as she was about to swing it through the air, the figures of Wu Mingxu and Fang Lan suddenly appeared at the gate.

"Master Wu, did you not receive my message? Or are you determined to act willfully and make an enemy of our Ghost King Valley?"

Wu Mingxu stormed in, looking furious. But when he saw Song Wanning, who had been completely calm from the very beginning, his heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, he always felt a sense of unease whenever he saw Song Wanning.

It was a deeply unsettling feeling.

Fang Lan’s gaze swept over, and her heart twisted with jealousy.

’What gives Song Wanning the right?’

’How can a wild brat from some poor, remote backwater outshine me?’

"Wu Mingxu, this is not your Ghost King Valley! If you act so insolently again, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Seeing Wu Mingxu, killing intent erupted in Wu Rouyun’s heart.

’That bastard really thinks he’s something special.’

"You—"

Wu Mingxu hadn’t expected Wu Rouyun to be so disrespectful, and his face immediately darkened.

"Are you really going to offend my Ghost King Valley for a fraud? You’d better think this through!!!"

"If you regret this now, I can still give you a chance. As long as you throw her out, I can pretend none of this ever happened!!!!"

He struggled to suppress the panic in his heart. He had a nagging feeling that if he didn’t eliminate Song Wanning, she would become a major threat to him.

Therefore, he had to make the Wolf Fang Gang abandon Song Wanning, and then he would find another opportunity to kill her.

But Wu Rouyun simply slapped a palm strike at Wu Mingxu, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

’Are you kidding me? This is my chance to perform for Song Wanning.’

That single slap stunned everyone, freezing them in place. Even Fang Lan was startled.

Who could have imagined that Wu Rouyun would actually choose to completely forsake the Ghost King Valley?

The entire courtyard fell deathly silent. Wu Mingxu was also dazed from the blow, lying on the ground for a long moment before he could even come to his senses.

Song Wanning watched the entire farce unfold, a hint of a smile touching her eyes.

Her efforts in Alchemy hadn’t been in vain. Wu Rouyun had not disappointed her.

And she, in turn, would not disappoint Wu Rouyun.

"Master Wu, here are the Elixir Pills you wanted. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"

She tossed the Elixir Bottle in her hand, and it landed perfectly in Wu Rouyun’s grasp.

Wu Rouyun carefully took the Elixir Bottle, poured out the Elixir Pills inside, and cupped them in her palm.

Three Super-grade Spirit Communication Pills lay there for all to see.

"HISS—"

Every single person was astonished. They all gasped, staring at the three Elixir Pills in disbelief.

"They... they’re actually real Super-grade Elixirs..."

"What... what kind of monster is she?"

"How is that possible? How could someone who can refine Super-grade Elixirs remain unknown for so long?"

It was no wonder they were so shocked. An Alchemy Grandmaster like this should have been famous long ago!!!

As for Wu Rouyun, her heart pounded with a mix of shock and fear. She hurriedly put the Elixir Pills away, wary that the other gang leaders might get ideas.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Song!!!!"

She cupped her hands in gratitude toward Song Wanning. With these Elixir Pills, it was only a matter of time before she could break through to the Mahayana Realm.

"There’s no need to be so formal. This is just a partnership between us. We both get what we need."

The corner of Song Wanning’s mouth lifted slightly. ’I’ve really struck it rich this time!’

Their friendly exchange deeply provoked Wu Mingxu.

His face dark, he climbed to his feet and rushed over to Song Bangzhu, who was wearing a regretful expression.

"Song Bangzhu, the Wolf Fang Gang dared to try and kill me! I need you to help me purge the Wolf Fang Gang now!"

Then, he looked toward the other gang leaders and declared in a sharp voice, "If any other gang leaders are willing to lend a hand, I, Wu Mingxu, hereby promise you all that I will plead with my Grandmaster to come out of seclusion and refine Super-grade Spirit Communication Pills for everyone!"

"From now on, my Ghost King Valley will prioritize giving Elixir Pills to all of you!!!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the gang leaders present shifted.

The leader of the Wind and Cloud Gang already had a feud with Wu Rouyun, so how could he pass up this opportunity?

"I am willing to help the Ghost King Valley! After all, the Wolf Fang Gang has gone too far!"

"I can help too!"

"Yes, I’m willing as well!"

In an instant, three gang leaders stepped forward, all of them choosing to side with Wu Mingxu.

After all, if they offended Wu Mingxu now, their future supply of Elixir Pills could be restricted.

No matter how they looked at it, it wasn’t worth the risk.

But the remaining gang leaders didn’t move. After all, besides the Ghost King Valley, there was another Alchemy Grandmaster present who could refine them.

"Good, good, good!"

As expected, Wu Mingxu now bore a grudge against the others who had remained silent, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.

"Song Bangzhu, lend me a hand now and help me execute Wu Rouyun, the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang, right here on the spot!"

He was furious. In his entire life of cultivation, who had not treated him with the utmost respect?

And yet Wu Rouyun had dared to strike him for a mere bitch!!

"Fine!!"

Song Bangzhu gritted his teeth, swallowed the last shred of regret in his heart, and agreed to Wu Mingxu’s request.

’In any case, I’m not the only one who agreed,’ he thought. ’Once Wu Rouyun is dead, those pills will be mine!!’

The few of them exchanged a glance and attacked Wu Rouyun simultaneously.

In an instant, everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

Wu Yaozu was so terrified his face turned deathly pale and his legs began to tremble. His sister, alone, was surely no match for them.

"Wu Rouyun, you brought this on yourself! Now, die!!"

"In your next life, remember to open your eyes and see clearly! Don’t offend people you can’t afford to offend for some worthless bitch!!"

Wu Mingxu’s eyes were savage as he and Fang Lan charged forward together.

The other four gang leaders also attacked at once.

Under their combined assault, Wu Rouyun’s death was all but certain.

"Yaozu, get Grandmaster Song out of here, quickly! You must protect her and ensure her safety!!!"

Wu Rouyun knew the danger she was in today, but her first reaction was to get Song Wanning to safety.

Hearing this, Wu Yaozu’s eyes immediately turned red. But instead of fleeing, he ran resolutely to Wu Rouyun’s side.

"Sis, I’ll protect you! I’m not leaving!"
