Luo Feng had been in Yulan City for so long, and although he had heard that low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms would sneak into Yulan City to attack, he had not encountered one yet.

He was focused on cultivation and had not even applied for the ‘Elder Assessment’. For Luo Feng, being an Elder would also require him to divide his energy, and he needed to focus more on cultivation right now!

“Swish swish swish.” Outside the main building of the Pill Tower, figures descended one after another, completely blocking the main entrance. The customers who came to buy pills were a little frightened and immediately hid far away!

It was the Zerg Nest!

“Zerg Nest cultivators, it seems that the Zerg Nest and the Pill Tower are about to have a major conflict, let’s not be affected!”

Many customers quickly left! There was a commotion on the side of the Pill Tower’s main building, and the attendants and middle and high-level personnel all looked at the cultivator figures outside the main building with some fear!

“Why are so many from the Zerg Nest here?”

“Since God Emperor Luo Feng joined our Pill Tower, our Pill Tower has been expanding its business for 1.5 billion eras. The Zerg Nest has been silent all along. Are they going to make trouble today?” The members of the Pill Tower were a little panicked and immediately reported it! Soon the news reached Tower Master Changqing and Luo Feng!

“Brother Luo Feng, these Zerg Nest members have mobilized on a large scale and surrounded the main building of the Pill Tower.” Tower Master Changqing transmitted his voice: “However, they are restricted by the regulations in Yulan City, so they wouldn’t dare to go too far! They should be here to negotiate, let’s see what their intentions are first!”

Luo Feng was a little curious. The Zerg Nest had been enduring all this time, had they finally reached their limit?

Inside the main building of the Pill Tower! A tall, scaled man led a group of cultivators into the main building. The tall, scaled man had a cold look in his eyes, and a thick, scaled tail was very conspicuous. He walked into the Pill Tower, and the entire vast space of the Pill Tower was twisting around him!

His cold eyes and invisible power made the Pill Tower members tremble with fear.

“Elder Saluo, why bother bullying these juniors!” Tower Master Changqing appeared. The formation of the Pill Tower’s main building naturally operated, suppressing the terrifying aura of this tall, scaled man! Elder Saluo was one of the seven high-level members of the Zerg Nest, an Elder-level existence!

“Tower Master Changqing!” Elder Saluo’s eyes were cold. “I’m not here to target you!”

“Oh?” Tower Master Changqing realized the Zerg Nest’s intention, which was different from what he had thought!

“Let your Pill Tower’s alchemist, Gu Qingyuan, come out!” Elder Saluo said coldly!

“Gu Qingyuan?” Tower Master Changqing frowned slightly and still ordered, “Go and invite Gu Qingyuan here!”

“Yes!”

An attendant immediately retreated!

“Elder Saluo is talking about Alchemist Gu Qingyuan, one of our Pill Tower’s seven advanced alchemists. I also value him very much!” Tower Master Changqing said with a smile. “I wonder how he offended you?”

Elder Saluo glanced at Tower Master Changqing.

Tower Master Changqing obtained resources through alchemy, but Elder Saluo was good at fighting and often hunted in the Dark Sacred Realm, so he naturally didn’t look down on Tower Master Changqing!

“You’ll know later, Tower Master Changqing!” Elder Saluo said indifferently!

Tower Master Changqing frowned slightly! Both sides fell silent, and none of the members dared to speak!

Soon, Alchemist Gu Qingyuan appeared!

A middle-aged man in plain clothes, with the strength of a God Emperor in the middle stage of enlightenment, his alchemy skills were remarkable!

Without Tower Master Changqing taking action, the highest alchemy skills in the Pill Tower belonged to the seven advanced alchemists!

“You’re here!” Gu Qingyuan looked at Elder Saluo and the others.

“Did you think that if you hid in the Pill Tower, we wouldn’t be able to do anything to you?” Elder Saluo had killing intent in his eyes. “You really have a lot of guts. You actually dared to assassinate two of my God Emperor mid-stage enlightenment members in Yulan City. According to the Yulan City regulations, killing cultivators in the city is a crime punishable by death.”

“Do you have evidence?” Gu Qingyuan looked at them.

Elder Saluo had anger in his eyes, of course there was no evidence!

The Zerg Nest had also paid a heavy price to deduce that the murderer was Gu Qingyuan.

“Two God Emperor mid-stage enlightenment members,” Tower Master Changqing said in surprise, “To kill such two powerful individuals silently in Yulan City without alarming the Yulan City defense system, even an Elder-level existence would find it difficult.”

“He used poison.” Elder Saluo said, “I asked two friends to help investigate, to explore the traces of the past and investigate the cause and effect, and only then did I determine that he was the one who used the poison.”

“Why would I poison two Zerg Nest experts for no reason?” Gu Qingyuan asked suspiciously.

“Your only disciple died, was killed?” Elder Saluo looked at Gu Qingyuan. “You suspect that those two members of my Zerg Nest ambushed him?”

“Yes.” Gu Qingyuan nodded and sighed. “My only disciple died. He accumulated some resources in the city by relying on his refining skills and cultivated cautiously, but he was still targeted, just because he bought a treasure. On the way back to his cave, he was ambushed. He sent me a message before he died, and I also learned the identities of the two murderers. These two murderers are from your Zerg Nest.”

“A message before death?” Elder Saluo shook his head. “It’s entirely possible that they were disguised by other looters. In Yulan City, there are all kinds of disguise methods. In Yulan City, you need enough evidence to determine the murderer.”

Gu Qingyuan looked at Elder Saluo. “My disciple is weak, and I am just an ordinary alchemist. I don’t have the ability to poison two God Emperor mid-stage enlightenment-level existences. Elder Saluo, as you said, in Yulan City, you need sufficient evidence to determine the murderer.”

Elder Saluo looked at this alchemist.

He knew very well that the murderer was this alchemist.

“Then it was my Zerg Nest that made a mistake.” Elder Saluo said, “Gu Qingyuan, come with me for a while to cooperate with the investigation to prove your innocence. Take Gu Qingyuan away!”

“On what basis are you taking him away?”

“Why take him away without evidence?” Other alchemists in the Pill Tower were angry.

“Elder Saluo!” Tower Master Changqing opened his mouth. “You’re forcibly taking Gu Qingyuan away from me without evidence?”

“Because I am an Elder.” Elder Saluo glanced at Tower Master Changqing coldly and waved his hand to display a time-space image. “Based on the past time and space, Gu Qingyuan had close contact with the two deceased. I suspect that he is the murderer, and I also obtained the warrant from Elder Deyou. I should be qualified to take him away for investigation, right?”

Elder Saluo was very angry. Two of his key subordinates were poisoned to death in the city. He could tolerate this, but how could he lead his other subordinates?

“We can’t let them take Brother Gu away.”

“Once he’s taken away, Brother Gu is doomed.”

“Once he’s taken away, whether he’s the murderer or not will be up to them to decide?” Other alchemists spoke one after another. Gu Qingyuan still had a lot of prestige among the alchemists in the Pill Tower.

“You want to stop me? I have evidence of suspicion, I have the warrant from Elder Deyou, who is in charge of punishment, and I, as an Elder, am personally taking away a suspected criminal. You want to stop me?” Elder Saluo looked at Tower Master Changqing.

Tower Master Changqing knew that if he wanted to stop him, he would be in the wrong. With sufficient reasons, Elder Saluo could forcibly take away a suspected criminal.

“And you…” Elder Saluo glanced at the angry alchemists. “I’m talking to Tower Master Changqing, it’s not your turn to interrupt. Remember each of their names!”

“Yes.” The subordinates behind him immediately responded, looking at the alchemists one by one. These alchemists were shocked and a little panicked.

“Gu Qingyuan, don’t worry, I will go to see Elder Deyou to ensure that you will be treated fairly.” Tower Master Changqing said.

“Thank you, Tower Master. I’ve troubled you.” Gu Qingyuan respectfully saluted, still very calm. From the moment he took action, he had made all the preparations.

“Tower Master, you’re giving him too much face.” A black-clothed, black-haired man appeared in the Pill Tower.

“Hmm?”

The cultivators on both sides of the main building noticed Luo Feng’s arrival. Elder Saluo’s expression also changed slightly. He didn’t care much about Changqing Tower Master, but God Emperor Luo Feng had established his prestige by defeating Elder Tianhe.

“Boom–” At the same time as Luo Feng appeared, an invisible, terrifying wave swept out. Elder Saluo’s expression changed slightly, and he stood still on the spot. The scales on his body glowed with a faint light, resisting the wave. However, the Zerg Nest cultivators under his command were unable to resist and were swept away by the terrifying wave, being thrown out with the current.

“The Zerg Nest dares to act presumptuously in my place?” Luo Feng looked at Elder Saluo. “You are Elder Saluo?”

Elder Saluo was furious. “Luo Feng, I have evidence of suspicion, I have Elder Deyou’s warrant…”

“A piece of trash from the Zerg Nest still has the face to investigate the murderer?” Luo Feng sneered, “What does your Zerg Nest do? Don’t you know that?”

Saluo’s face changed drastically. Everyone was at the Elder level, and it wasn’t easy to fight in the city, so they usually followed the rules.

“You–” Elder Saluo was a little annoyed. “You’re going too far.”

“Listen carefully.” Luo Feng looked at Elder Saluo coldly, and his voice also reached the ears of the group of Zerg Nest cultivators outside the Pill Tower. “My Pill Tower is the most law-abiding, but without sufficient evidence, no one is qualified to come to my Pill Tower to arrest cultivators. Not to mention you, even the Zerg Nest Master behind you is not qualified.”

“You dare to disrespect the Zerg Nest Master?” Elder Saluo stared at Luo Feng.

The Zerg Nest Master was close to the three Palace Masters, much stronger than ordinary Elders.

“Yes, I don’t take him seriously.” Luo Feng looked at him. “You can tell him my original words. I, Luo Feng, am always waiting for him.”

Tower Master Changqing, who was on the side, looked at Luo Feng in shock. He was too, too, too… too arrogant. He, Tower Master Changqing, got along well with everyone in Yulan City. How could he dare to be so arrogant?

The other cultivators in the main building were also stunned.

“God Emperor Luo Feng?” Gu Qingyuan was also a little dumbfounded. He had already made preparations, and he had even purchased a ‘replacement’ treasure.

Luo Feng’s words stunned everyone. This was a public slap in the face to the Zerg Nest Master.

“Good, good, good. I will definitely convey your original words to the Zerg Nest Master as you wish.” Elder Saluo sneered, turned around, and left.

“Buzz.”

The Cycle of Existence and Destruction formation operated, and a terrifying wave enveloped the Pill Tower complex, also trapping Elder Saluo, who was about to leave. Elder Saluo only felt that the formation was extremely heavy, and he couldn’t get rid of it or break it at all. He even noticed that his life force was weakening and even difficult to recover, which made Elder Saluo’s expression change. “What are you going to do? Are you going to attack in the city?”

Elder Saluo stared at Luo Feng in shock and anger.

“Come to my Pill Tower to act presumptuously? Want to leave whenever you want?” Luo Feng looked at him. “There’s no such thing. Leave 100 million Primal Chaos crystals as an apology, otherwise, you can stay in my Pill Tower for a while longer.”

These words stunned the cultivators on both sides present. They didn’t dare to get involved or say a word.

Elder Saluo was anxious and angry and immediately sent a message to the Zerg Nest Master, asking the Zerg Nest Master for help.
