321: Chapter 321 Snake Scale Flower in Hand, Slaughter Begins

"Master Tu, where are you?" Seeing no one attending to him, the burly man immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

There was no response from Tu Xingzi; in the courtyard, only Hun Tiandi and the other four were drinking.

"It's you! You've harmed Master Tu! Men, seize them!"

Yan Xing's expression turned cold. He took a step forward, blocking those who intended to seize them.

In the air of the secret chamber, Tu Xingzi slowly withdrew his aura into his body. Feeling the surging Dou Qi flowing through his limbs and bones, he slightly squinted his eyes.

He landed slowly on the ground and, after a moment of deliberation, walked toward the exit of the secret chamber.

"These people are likely not simple. To need the snake scale flower, they must have medicinal ingredients to pair with it. If I were to snatch..."

Tu Xingzi's eyes narrowed into a line as greed rose within his heart.

However, he recalled the peerless battle that had taken place deep within the Tagor Desert a month ago, which the people of Stone Desert City had sensed.

Moreover, encountering Queen Medusa of the Snake-people Tribe—she was a ruthless character.

She had once charged into the Jia Ma Empire alone, slaughtered several cities, and retreated unscathed despite being hunted by the empire's powerhouses.

Furthermore, that person who had just refined the pill—the golden flames flickering in his eyes gave him a sense of extreme danger.

"Just who are these people?"

The more Tu Xingzi considered it, the more a chill grew in his heart. The moment he stepped out of the room, his aged face, which had been filled with killing intent...

...slowly relaxed, revealing a faint smile.

Ultimately, reason triumphed over greed. Although he had recovered his Dou Huang level strength, he could not see through the true strength of anyone present.

"I cannot make an enemy of them!"

With this thought flashing through his mind, just as he was about to step out of the room, his nose twitched slightly as he caught the scent of blood.

His face turned completely cold.

"Who is it? Who dares to kill people in his shop..."

When Tu Xingzi walked out of the room and entered the small courtyard, the bloody scene before him made even this Dou Huang level powerhouse feel uneasy.

The corpses lying haphazardly on the ground felt familiar.

"So it was him..."

He naturally recognized this person. For several years, this man had been a tycoon in Stone Desert City, and it was said he was backed by a major power.

He had constantly sent his daughter to build a relationship, hoping that Tu Xingzi would take her as a disciple.

Tu Xingzi had never agreed.

"Old Mister, your strength has recovered, so..."

While Tu Xingzi was lost in thought, Hun Tiandi's indifferent voice reached his ears, sounding like thunder from the nine heavens.

Hearing this, the corners of Tu Xingzi's eyes twitched imperceptibly. His sharp gaze fixed on Hun Tiandi's impossibly young face.

He felt fortunate that he hadn't made a move earlier; the youth remained so calm even after he had recovered his strength.

It was lucky he hadn't attacked; if they had fought, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Moreover, having an Alchemist capable of refining Tier 6 pills following him clearly indicated there were things he didn't know.

"Just who is this youth..."

If a single strike failed and the youth escaped, what awaited him would be endless trouble.

Thinking of this, he flipped his hand and took out a jade box; inside was the snake scale flower!

Tu Xingzi shook his head slightly and handed it to Hun Tiandi. Once opened, a snake scale flower was revealed; the green flower's petals were densely packed like snake scales.

In the center of the flower was a snake-shaped fruit, eerie and cold.

Closing the jade box, he waved his sleeve, and a burst of energy sent the jade box flying toward Liu Ling, who caught it and placed it into his storage ring.

"Old Mister, since the trade is successful, we should leave!"

Hun Tiandi slowly stood up and spoke, then began to walk out.

"Wait, this old man has just recovered his strength and hasn't traveled outside for years. I wonder if I could join you!"

Tu Xingzi spoke up immediately, filled with curiosity about this group.

"As you wish," Hun Tiandi said indifferently, walking toward the street. Just as he was about to leave the backyard, he asked, "Have you investigated clearly?"

"Your Majesty, the origins of this group have been clarified!"

Yan Xing said coldly.

"Go then. Stone Desert City should see some blood; it has been peaceful for too long!"

The slaughter begins!

Yan Xing flickered and stepped into the air, heading toward the depths of Stone Desert City. This scene left Tu Xingzi dumbfounded.

He felt lucky in his heart that he hadn't made a move!

"Who are you to dare cause trouble at the Jifu Mercenary Group?" After Yan Xing descended, shouts of anger rang out.

Boom!

A fierce light flickered in Yan Xing's eyes. Surging Dou Qi erupted as he spread his five fingers, and arrows of energy shot out, striking one person after another.

In the blink of an eye, the entire manor was filled with the scent of blood and corpses lay everywhere.

It was a one-sided slaughter. In less than half an hour, not a single living soul remained in this magnificent manor.

"Eh... which powerhouse did the Jifu Mercenary Group offend to be wiped out entirely?"

Suddenly, the streets of Stone Desert City were crowded with people discussing the event; the methods were too cruel.

The air was thick with the heavy scent of blood...

"Father... Miss, don't be impulsive! If you go out now, you will surely be killed. We need you for revenge in the future!"

In the crowd, a tearful girl was the same woman in tight-fitting clothes from the Shanhe Shop earlier. She had gone out to clear her head because she was angry and was not in the manor.

This clan-exterminating disaster had left the girl as the sole survivor.

The one covering her mouth to keep her silent was the butler, who was extremely loyal to the Jifu Mercenary Group.

They slipped away from the crowd.

Yan Xing transformed into a black shadow, soaring into the sky and sweeping toward the distance.

Outside the city, atop a towering sand dune, Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast desert and sighing softly.

Swish...

Before long, a black shadow sped from the distance; it was Yan Xing.

His body carried an aura of slaughter, and the thick scent of blood made Tu Xingzi's heart tremble.

"Your Majesty, the Jifu Mercenary Group has been wiped out!"

"Let's go." Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. Hearing this, Tu Xingzi's body trembled. This man had actually wiped out the Jifu Mercenary Group—just who was he?

They then swept toward the distance, with the others following. A pair of earthy-yellow Dou Qi Wings condensed on Tu Xingzi's back.

The group's flight speed was not fast, as if they were not traveling but rather sightseeing.

Three days later, they encountered many mercenaries fighting on the way. Many people lay on the ground with weak breathing, likely not long for this world.

"Your Majesty, these mercenary groups are truly crazy, actually slaughtering one another!"

Yan Xing spoke indifferently, somewhat puzzled.

"Mu Tian, hand it over! This is something the Mo Tie Mercenary Group wants, and they've promised a heavy reward!"

Shui Wen, the leader of the Water Mercenary Group, shouted loudly.

"Don't even think about it! Shui Wen, stop dreaming. The Mo Tie Mercenary Group needs medicinal herbs, but they don't need you to play the good guy!"

Mu Tian said angrily.

"Mo Tie Mercenary Group?" Hun Tiandi said softly. It was truly a coincidence.

"Yan Xing, go and bring Mu Tian here."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yan Xing took the command and swept toward the distance.

"Seeking death!" Shui Wen was no longer polite. The long spear in his hand was like a dragon, thrusting toward Mu Tian for a killing blow.

"Leader, watch out!" the mercenaries behind him cried out anxiously.

Mu Tian smiled bitterly and closed his eyes to wait for death, but a person suddenly appeared in front of him, tapping a finger on the spear tip and saving his life.

Crack!

Yan Xing applied a little force, and the long spear shattered, falling to the ground as fragments. With a shock of energy, Shui Wen was sent flying.

"Kid, come with this old man!" Without waiting for Mu Yun to agree, he grabbed him and soared into the sky.

"Your Majesty, I've brought the kid!"

"Your name is Mu Yun? I heard you say earlier that you found medicinal herbs for the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Is that true?" Hun Tiandi spoke slowly.

"It is true, Senior!" Mu Yun knew the strength of these people was terrifying and did not dare to hide anything.

"What medicinal herb? Take it out."

"Earth Spirit Grass?" Mu Yun took out a box containing a crimson medicinal herb with six red leaves and a deep crimson flower at the top.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth. It was truly a blessing from heaven.
