Chapter 150: Commotion in the Valley of the Medicine Masters

Crash!!

As the crowd looked on, the middle-aged man who had been charging ferociously toward the youth suddenly fell head-first to the ground, and his body skidded forward along the ground for some distance with the force of his momentum before it stopped.

The three feet of green haze that had burst forth from his body died away, just like a fire that had been extinguished.

The prior scene of the disciple of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who had stood up for Chen Dandan was playing out again, but this time it caused an even greater shock, causing all the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters present to stare in stupefaction. There was a deathly silence over the whole scene.

Pak!

It was only when the small metal sword flew whistling back, transforming back into the sword sphere as it returned to Zhou Donghuang’s hand, that the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters began to regain their wits, exhaling a breath of cold air in unison.

“Second elder ... is dead?”

Under the gaze of the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, the middle-aged man who had been charging forward till he had mysteriously fallen dead was lying on the ground with no trace of life, a ghastly wound between his brows, fresh blood still streaming from the wound.

Evidently, this was the fatal wound.

“Just now, I think I heard a brief whistling sound like a sword!”

“I heard it too.”

“You all probably didn’t notice earlier ... that thing in Zhou Donghuang’s hand, that small metal sphere, suddenly transformed into a small sword like a dagger which he threw at Second Elder? I think Second Elder was killed by that small metal sword.”

“If that was really the case, the speed of that small metal sword had to be incredibly fast. I actually did not see anything.”

...

As the whispering continued, the gazes of the crowd left the corpse of Chen Tianhe, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters and landed on the youth.

The youth was dressed in clothes whiter than snow, his left hand held behind his back, his right hand toying with a small metal sphere.

Earlier many people had noticed the small metal sphere in the youth’s hand, but they never imagined that sphere could transform into a sword that could kill the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters in a single strike.

“He ... he ... ”

When the youth who had brought Zhou Donghuang there, the disciple of the Valley of the Medicine Masters Huang Mingfeng, saw that Zhou Donghuang had killed the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters Chen Tianhe, he was so frightened that he unconsciously took several steps back, as though he were afraid that others would draw a connection between him and Zhou Donghuang.

“He ... is done for.”

Although Zhou Donghuang had displayed an extraordinary level of ability and killed the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was not the strongest in the Valley of the Medicine Masters in terms of ability.

That is to say, there were several other middle Connate-stage adepts in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, as well as the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who was a late Connate-stage adept and was acknowledged as the most powerful adept in the area surrounding the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley!

“Father?”

As the gazes of the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, as well as that of the elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters whose arm had been maimed, fell on the sword sphere in the youth’s hand, Chen Dandan came around from the shocking scene before her eyes.

“Father!!”

When she realized that her father Chen Tianhe had been killed by the youth, Chen Dandan let out an earth-shaking wail, and rushed to the side of Chen Tianhe’s corpse, despair flooding her eyes.

Chen Dandan was actually apathetic towards her biological father who had suddenly appeared.

If he had been a beggar, Chen Dandan would not have acknowledged him even if she were beaten to death.

But because he was the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, of such exalted status in the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, Chen Dandan was happy to acknowledge him as her father and to put on a show of being an obedient daughter.

Chen Dandan’s sorrow and pain were not because of Chen Tianhe’s death, but because she had suddenly lost the greatest pillar of strength in her life.

Even if the Valley of the Medicine Masters allowed her to remain in the Valley of the Medicine Masters following Chen Tianhe’s death, as a gesture of respect for him, Chen Dandan’s status in the Valley of the Medicine Masters would take an abyssal plunge.

Chen Dandan could not accept this reality.

After confirming that Chen Tianhe was truly dead, Chen Dandan suddenly jerked her head up, looking at the youth standing nearby with a savage glare as she said through gritted teeth, “Zhou Donghuang, you dare kill my father? The Valley of the Medicine Masters will not let you off!”

And as though accompanying Chen Dandan’s words, that elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters whose arm had been maimed by Zhou Donghuang used his right arm to take a small bamboo cylinder from his pocket, and a signal flare rose into the sky and exploded in the air.

Bang!!

This signal flare was something that only the Connate-stage-and-above seniors of the Valley of the Medicine Masters possessed, and each of them had only one. They could only request a new one upon expending the one that they already had.

This kind of signal flare was only to be used when there was mortal danger.

Although this elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was in no mortal danger, this was the only way he could warn the other powerful Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“Elder Li has sent the signal flare.”

“Today, this youth is going to have his wings clipped.”

“Once the signal flare is sent out, even the Valley Master will rush over if he sees it.”

...

Just as the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters were shocked by the signal flare, everywhere throughout the Valley of the Medicine Masters those who had heard the signal flare or seen the fireworks bursting out of the signal flare were shocked into action.

Especially the senior leadership of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who were Connate-stage adepts and above.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Four huge figures swooped out from the four observation towers around the Valley of the Medicine Masters, heading directly for the location of the signal flare.

“It’s the training grounds!”

The four huge figures belonged to four flying demons, and from their huge figures and speed, they were evidently Great Consummation flying demons of Qi-gathering.

On the backs of each of these four flying demons stood a middle-aged or old man. The gaze of these four people was especially keen as they focused on the training grounds in the middle of the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located.

At the same time, throughout the Valley of the Medicine Masters, many figures rushed out, some riding demon mounts, others running at top speed.

These people without exception were Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

The signal flare that was sent was a distress signal sent by a Connate-stage adept of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and it would be useless for someone below the Connate-stage to go over.

Therefore, the people rushing to the training grounds were all Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

...

At the training grounds.

Chen Dandan stared vengefully at the youth, her cold gaze cutting like a knife, as though she would dearly like to slice the youth into a thousand pieces and chop his corpse into a thousand parts!

“Zhou Donghuang, you may have destroyed me today, but you can forget about living!” Chen Dandan said coldly.

“Really?”

Zhou Donghuang merely smiled indifferently at Chen Dandan’s words, with no hint of acknowledgement.

His demeanor was greatly puzzling to the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters that saw it. “This youth not only has no intention of fleeing, but has a look of self-confidence on his face ... could he possibly have something up his sleeve that would not be afraid of all the Connate-stage adepts in the Valley of the Medicine Masters?

“As I see it, he does not know the strength of the Valley of the Medicine Masters!”

“Does he really think that just because he can kill Second Elder with some underhanded means there is no one his equal in the Valley of the Medicine Masters? How naive!”

“If he had not used underhanded means, and if Second Elder had not been careless and unprepared, he might not have won.”

“That’s natural. He is only an early Connate-stage adept, and Second Elder was, after all, a middle Connate-stage adept!”

...

Although many of the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters were puzzled as to where the youth’s sudden confidence was from, even more people felt that the youth was ignorant.

“Who released the signal flare?”

Accompanied by a swift booming sound, a distinguished voice called out from the back of a giant gray vulture. The voice belonged to a very old man dressed in gray.

“It’s the thunder-feathered vulture!”

“Elder Mo has arrived!”

“Although Elder Mo is an early Connate-stage adept, he is close to the middle Connate-stage, and is significantly stronger than Elder Li.”

...

Many of the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters immediately identified the old man on the back of the giant gray vulture who was the first to arrive at the training grounds.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After the thunder-feathered vulture came three more giant flying demons, a person standing on each of their backs.

“The elders on duty at the observation towers have all arrived!”

The four elders of the Valley of the Medicine Masters who had arrived first were those on duty at the observation towers in the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located. They were the first to see the signal and had rushed over at once.

The four of them were all early Connate-stage adepts, and none of them were weaker in ability than Elder Li whose arm had been maimed by Zhou Donghuang.

“Second ... Second Elder?!”

However, before Elder Li could speak, the four elders of the Valley of the Medicine Masters spotted Chen Tianhe’s corpse, and their expressions changed.

Chen Tianhe was after all the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, a middle Connate-stage adept.

In terms of ability, even the four of them together were not a match for Chen Tianhe.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

When the four elders who had rushed over from the Valley of the Medicine Masters realized that Chen Tianhe was dead, they released the only signal flare they carried without hesitation.

Immediately, the entire Valley of the Medicine Masters was in an uproar.

Five signal flares sent out by senior adepts above the Connate stage rang out in succession, exploding high in the sky over the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located.

Moreover, they all came from the air above the training grounds.

“My god! What happened? Five Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters encountering danger at the training grounds at the same time? I think that signal is only used when they encounter mortal danger, am I right?”

“Let’s go! We’ll go investigate!”

“Such a commotion, even Head Elder, the two protectors, and the Valley Master have probably been startled?”

...

Five signal flares exploded in the air one after another, and as they released dazzling fireworks, the entire Valley of the Medicine Masters was buzzing with activity.

At this moment, even the adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters below the Connate stage were drawn towards the training grounds out of curiosity.

Of course, they could only watch the commotion.

Who were they kidding?

When five Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters sent out signal flares to summon help, what could they do to help against such a degree of threat?
