462: Chapter 462 A Close Call, the Pill Tower's Killing Order

Mei Niang and Heavenly Crocodile nearby followed closely behind, rushing towards the black and white passage.

Hun Tiandi turned his head to look, and seeing a giant hand that covered the sky spreading out and grabbing towards the black and white passage opened by the crossing of the realms, he was greatly shocked.

If this continued, no one would be able to escape.

Suddenly stopping his figure, he turned back to stand on the black and white passage, took out Spirit Wine and drank it, and before it could even be converted into Dou Qi, he began to make his move.

"Eyes of Samsara, open for this Emperor!"

With a low, cold shout, he closed his eyes and snapped them open; his pitch-black eyes turned red, and two beams of red light erupted from his pupils, rushing towards the energy hand.

The collision between the red light and the handprint did not produce a brilliant radiance; instead, the red light spread out, enveloping the energy handprint and dissolving it.

The Dou Qi within Hun Tiandi's body was already insufficient, and forcibly activating the Eyes of Samsara placed a very severe burden on him.

Two streaks of bloody tears flowed down, and he finally managed to eliminate the energy handprint.

"Eh? What Dou Technique is this?" A voice of confusion came from within the pitch-black crack, as they had never seen such an eerie gaze before.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, his face turned pale, and his figure was sent flying backward.

The energy handprint was moving, reaching for Hun Tiandi; he currently had no power to resist and was waiting for death to descend.

"Hun Tiandi?" Mei Niang shouted sharply, preparing to take action to counter the attack and save him.

Heavenly Crocodile's expression darkened slightly, and he slowly extended his palm, blasting it towards the energy handprint.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." A disdainful voice came from the crack, and the light of the energy handprint in mid-air surged, shattering the combined attack of Mei Niang and Heavenly Crocodile in one go.

"Go quickly!" Hun Tiandi shouted loudly, and with a flash of light from the crossing of the realms, he teleported the two of them away.

Only the heavily injured Hun Tiandi remained, looking calmly at the giant energy hand.

Boom!

A roaring sound echoed, and at the critical moment, the space of the Pill World was torn apart, and a pitch-black palm print emerged, forcefully striking the hand of the Old Monster of the Pill Tower.

The collision of the two peerless handprints completely destroyed the mountain ranges of the Pill World.

A gentle energy arrived and poured into Hun Tiandi's body; feeling the pure energy within him, Hun Tiandi was momentarily surprised.

"Who exactly was it that intervened?" He glanced at the pitch-black crack, turned around, and disappeared into the black and white passage.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the Pill Tower's business?" Bursts of angry voices came from the crack.

"Hahaha, you are not yet qualified to know who I am. For an Old Monster of the Pill Tower to bully a youth of the Dou Huang class, have you no shame?"

The party that had intervened mocked him, then immediately vanished from the Pill World, leaving no trace of their aura.

Humph!

After sensing that the unfamiliar aura had disappeared, the Old Monster of the Pill Tower also fell into a brief silence.

Then, looking at the Pill World which had been reduced to ruins, he smoothed out the space crack and disappeared as well.

Inside the main hall of the Pill Tower.

Xuan Kongzi slowly walked in from outside with a gloomy expression; Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.

"Did you fail?" Tian Leizi inquired.

"Yes, someone intervened, allowing that madman to escape," Xuan Kongzi said coldly, taking his seat at the head of the hall.

It turned out that after Xuan Kongzi learned the news from the elders of the Qiu Family and seven other Pill Tower experts, he did not hesitate to forcibly tear through the space of the Pill World to descend.

He had intended to suppress the thief who had disrupted the Pill Gathering, but he hadn't expected it to be so troublesome.

"Those two red lights were..." Xuan Kongzi fell into deep thought, recalling the red light that had erupted from Hun Tiandi's eyes.

To actually be able to block one of his strikes, it was truly terrifying.

"If I could obtain that peerless Dou Technique, would the Pill Tower not be mine to command?" A greedy thought rose in Xuan Kongzi's heart, and like a flame, it could no longer be suppressed.

The Pill Tower had Three Great Heads who constrained Xuan Kongzi's power, and above them was the Ancestor of the Pill Tower, who was as elusive as a divine dragon.

For the power-hungry Xuan Kongzi, these were the two most difficult chasms to cross.

Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi looked at the pensive Xuan Kongzi with confused expressions.

"Pass down the order to search for that person's tracks in the Central Plains. For anyone with information, the reward is five Eighth Grade Pills and one Di-rank Dou Technique."

"If the person is captured, the reward is one Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill and one Heaven-rank Dou Technique or cultivation method..."

After Xuan Kongzi issued the order, such lavish rewards filled Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi's eyes with shock.

"Senior Brother, you... The Pill Tower's Killing Order? Just who is that person?" Xuan Yi asked coldly.

Dou Qi condensed into Hun Tiandi's appearance, and portraits were printed out one after another, along with scrolls containing the portraits of Mei Niang and Heavenly Crocodile.

With one command, the massive machine that was the Pill Tower began to operate.

Information spread like a flood, centered on Holy Pill City and sweeping out in all directions.

Since the founding of the Pill Tower, this was only the second time a Pill Tower's Killing Order had been issued.

The first was naturally the alchemy genius of the Pill Tower back then, Dan Chenzi, who was the first person to experience the Pill Tower's Killing Order.

Now Hun Tiandi had become the second; no one targeted by the Pill Tower's Killing Order had ever escaped.

If Dan Chenzi hadn't fled into the Nether Sea Forbidden Region at the cost of his physical body being destroyed, he would only have been able to linger on as a soul.

If he hadn't met Hun Tiandi, his soul power would likely have been exhausted after endless years, leading to his complete death.

And this time, what would be the outcome for Hun Tiandi in the face of the Pill Tower's Killing Order?

In a quiet hall within the Pill Tower.

A beautiful figure stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the hundred-foot-wide pond where colorful koi were swimming.

"Miss, President Xuan Kongzi of the Pill Tower has issued a Pill Tower's Killing Order to find a young man."

A youthful maid walked over, holding a portrait scroll in her hand.

"Oh? What is it that's worth a Pill Tower's Killing Order..." Feng Qianyou casually opened the portrait scroll, and her eyes instantly widened.

Waves rose in her heart as she spoke, "How could it be him?"

"Miss, you..." The maid beside her looked at Feng Qianyou's abnormal expression and spoke hesitantly.

"Xiao Yu, you go out first!" Feng Qianyou waved her hand, dismissing the maid.

"Yes, Miss." Afterward, only Feng Qianyou remained in the hall.

The seven Pill Tower experts who had been subdued gathered in a hall, discussing in a tense atmosphere, "His Majesty wouldn't have..."

"No, there's no change; the Blood Spirit Seal hasn't changed at all. If the master dies, the servant perishes; the fact that we are fine now means His Majesty is also fine."

"Yes, His Majesty told us to wait for instructions with peace of mind, so we shall wait!"

"Sigh, what exactly is this Majesty of ours? To actually be able to escape from Xuan Kongzi's hands..."

The seven of them felt both awe and admiration...

From the moment the Blood Spirit Seal was planted, they shared in both glory and loss.

A thousand miles away, space rippled slightly, a Black and white Taiji rotated to construct a space passage, and two disheveled figures stepped out.

It was indeed Mei Niang and Heavenly Crocodile. Previously, the two of them had acted to block the energy handprint, but to no avail.

They had been teleported out of the Pill World by Hun Tiandi's activation of the crossing of the realms.

"Pill Tower?" Mei Niang's voice was hoarse with exhaustion, and her body was filled with a towering killing intent as she gazed in the direction of Holy Pill City.

Her face was filled with hatred.

"He wouldn't have fallen..." Heavenly Crocodile said uncertainly.

"No." Mei Niang suppressed her anger; she knew the Pill Tower had many experts, and even if she reached the Dou Zun level, she would be no match.

Rushing in now would be the most foolish choice.

The two of them flickered and disappeared from the spot.

On the other side, Hun Tiandi had been saved by a mysterious person, and after escaping the Pill World, space fluctuations rippled atop a mountain peak.

A rift opened, and Hun Tiandi stepped out.

He happened to see a figure facing the breeze, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance.

The back of the figure was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, which left Hun Tiandi somewhat surprised.
