Yun Yun hesitantly looked at the long-haired man whose hair danced in the wind before her, and a thought of leaving the Cloud Mist Sect arose in her heart.
However, her teacher had shown her immense kindness, and if she were to leave, her conscience would be troubled.
Yun Yun did not speak, but Jiang Cheng had already guessed her thoughts. Since she wanted to stay in the Cloud Mist Sect, then she should remain there.
All in all, the Cloud Mist Sect was not far from the northeastern mountain range. If she wanted to come in the future, this would still be her Cultivation place.
Just then, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, suddenly turned its head and stared at three figures rapidly flying towards them from a distance. It immediately bared its fangs and said:
"Master, three Dou Kings have arrived."
Jiang Cheng turned his face towards the approaching Dou Kings and smiled, "As expected, an Alchemist was still drawn here."
The medicinal fragrance produced by a sixth-grade pill was extremely rich, so it was not surprising that an Alchemist would sense it. The newcomer was dressed in luxurious robes, with a refined and humble appearance, but his face looked somewhat aged, a world apart from people of the same age.
The mark of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist on his chest indirectly revealed his noble status.
"It's him?" Yun Yun was also surprised when she clearly saw the newcomer.
Indeed, the person who came was none other than Pill King Gu He, one of the ten strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire and a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!
And the two behind him were naturally Gu He's loyal fans, also Dou King experts, who held significant influence throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire: Yan Shi and Feng Li.
Gu He had also noticed Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, at this moment. His expression subtly changed, and he directly bypassed Jiang Cheng, landing steadily on the ground.
"Sect Leader Yun, why are you here?"
Gu He had always admired Yun Yun and was devoted to her.
When Yun Yun first took over the Cloud Mist Sect, Gu He had fully helped stabilize the situation and supported Yun Yun. Now, seeing Sect Leader Yun, he was eager to understand the situation.
"Cultivating here yields twice the results with half the effort, so I plan to Cultivate here for a while."
Yun Yun simply replied.
Upon hearing this, Pill King Gu He couldn't help but sense it himself. Indeed, as Sect Leader Yun said, the Dou Qi here was extremely abundant, and long-term Cultivation here would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.
"It is indeed a good place, with green mountains and clear waters. Tsk tsk tsk, if Sect Leader Yun doesn't mind, I am willing to accompany Sect Leader Yun to Cultivate here."
As one of the bootlickers in battle through the heavens, Gu He naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to Cultivate with Sect Leader Yun. Now that the time was ripe, how could he let it go?
Yun Yun frowned and said, "Elder Gu He, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"You jest, I, Gu He, am a man of my word. With me here, I can also help Sect Leader Yun refine a few sixth-grade pills. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Jiang Cheng was almost amused by this bootlicker.
Cultivating here?
Truly astonishing.
"Hehe, so it's the Sixth-Rank Alchemist, Pill King Gu He. Don't you know that this place already has a master?"
Pill King Gu He also heard the commotion, turned around, and looked at the gentle and refined Jiang Cheng, who resembled a scholar, and couldn't help but frown.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why do you say this place already has a master?"
"You don't need to know who I am. This is my territory. Now, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, the easily angered Yan Shi immediately pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose and cursed, "Where did this little brat come from, daring to speak to the Pill King like that? Don't you know that Old He is a Sixth-Rank Alchemist..."
"Yan Shi, don't be rude."
Gu He spoke to stop Yan Shi's behavior, then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is the owner of this place, but don't you know that any place in the Magical Beast Mountain Range is ownerless? How can there be talk of territory?"
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes. This was the first person to question him; he truly had great courage.
Gu He stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be very profound, and said, "If little friend yields this place to me, name your price. No matter how much, I will not refuse."
"Priceless."
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense. "Go back where you came from. This is not a place for you to run wild, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."
Feng Li and Yan Shi exchanged glances. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, no one dared to speak to the Sixth-Rank Alchemist, Pill King Gu He, like that.
Even the Dou Huang Jia Xingtian would greet Gu He with a smile, and the latter might not even give him a good look.
Sixth-Rank Alchemists were extremely precious existences throughout the Northwest Continent, and even Dou Zong experts had precedents of paying them visits.
So, upon hearing the rude remarks, they were naturally a bit annoyed. This fellow was a bit too arrogant.
Yun Yun was afraid that Gu He would offend the Mister, and said urgently, "Elder Gu He, this is indeed Mister's territory. Please leave quickly."
A hint of displeasure arose in Gu He's heart, and he stared directly at Jiang Cheng, saying, "Is Your Excellency not being too arrogant? Offending a Sixth-Rank Alchemist is not a wise move."
"If I offend you, what can you do to me?"
"You're courting death!" Yan Shi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He drew his Lifebound Weapon and launched an attack towards Jiang Cheng's position first.
Seeing this, Yun Yun's fingers rapidly danced, "Wind Push!"
As that crisp, soft sound fell, a violent green wind scroll emerged before her, then whistled out, blocking Yan Shi's attack.
With a crisp clang.
Yan Shi was also repelled two steps backward by the recoil of Yun Yun's Dou Technique, falling directly to the ground.
Pill King Gu He looked at Sect Leader Yun with a surprised expression, not understanding why she would help a strange human for no reason.
His jealousy flared up, and Gu He even felt as if he had been cuckolded. He immediately drew his long sword and angrily pointed it at Jiang Cheng, saying, "Kid, if you have the guts, duel me like a man."
"Get lost, I'm not interested."
Jiang Cheng snorted coldly. He truly had no interest in such a fellow. If Yun Yun hadn't tried her best to stop him, Gu He would probably already be a corpse.
Pill King Gu He thought Jiang Cheng was scared, and without thinking twice, he charged forward. Love truly makes people hot-headed and unable to consider right from wrong; it seems this is true.
"What audacity!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly teleported in front of Jiang Cheng, grabbed Gu He's wrist, and tore at it with force before he could react.
In an instant, a mist of blood erupted, and Pill King Gu He's left arm was forcibly ripped off. It happened so quickly that even Yun Yun, standing beside them, didn't react in time.
Gu He's pupils dilated. He instinctively covered the spot where his arm had been severed, screaming repeatedly, "My hand! My hand..."
Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed. Gu He was an Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect and a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. To have an arm severed like this was indeed shocking.
