Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

’But after five days, I’ve only absorbed this little bit of Spiritual Qi. I’m still quite a ways from breaking through to become a Seventh Grade Alchemist!’ Shen Haoran shook his head, frustrated. He knew from Elder Yan that his absorption speed was already several times that of an ordinary person. But becoming a Seventh Grade Alchemist wasn’t so easy; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few of them on this continent.

"Let’s go. We shouldn’t keep your Grandmaster Feng waiting!" Shen Haoran picked up Xiaorui, then turned into a black shadow and headed for the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw Feng Li and his group already waiting there.

"Young Friend Shen, time is tight, so we decided to wait for you here. Do you have anything else you need to bring?" Seeing Shen Haoran approach, Feng Li asked with a smile.

Seeing Feng Li and the other Elders from the Medicine Hall, Shen Haoran shook his head and said, "I don’t have anything to bring. I don’t have any other belongings!" However, he then turned his gaze to Xiaorui in his arms and said, "Hall Master Feng, please settle Xiaorui and her grandfather in first. I’ll come back for them after the Pill Emperor competition is over."

"Of course!" Feng Li said with a smile. Even if Shen Haoran hadn’t said anything, Feng Li would have done so anyway. Over the past few days, Xiaorui had become the apple of his eye. He would dote on her whenever he had a spare moment, completely captivated by her adorable appearance. Furthermore, since Feng Li had no children of his own, he had long since come to see Xiaorui as his own granddaughter.

"Then I’ll leave her in your care!" Shen Haoran handed Xiaorui to Feng Li.

"Brother Haoran, are you going to take a test? Make sure you come back with a good ranking!" Xiaorui hopped down from Shen Haoran’s arms, her big, sparkling eyes wide as she spoke.

"Of course. I’ll definitely come back with the championship for you!" Shen Haoran affectionately patted Xiaorui’s head and said confidently.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Xiaorui giggled and nodded. Then, under the care of a Medicine Hall disciple, she headed back toward the Medicine Hall.

"Let’s get going, too." Seeing Xiaorui being escorted back, Shen Haoran nodded. ’The Demon Race’s Central City... a place where all the geniuses of the Demon Race gather. I’ll have to see it for myself.’

"Let’s move out!" At Feng Li’s command, the group from the Medicine Hall set off in a grand procession toward the Demon Race Central City...

Meanwhile, in a room on the top floor of the Medicine Hall, the Vice Hall Master and Young Master Hu watched the direction Shen Haoran’s group had disappeared, a cold sneer playing on their lips.

"Xiaohu, how are the preparations?" the Vice Hall Master asked Young Master Hu beside him without turning his head.

"Don’t worry, Teacher. The Martial Artists from my family are experts; it will be a piece of cake. Moreover, I’ve managed to hire two Spirit Emperor Powerhouses for this. No matter how lucky they are, they won’t escape my grasp. This Burning Flame City branch of the Medicine Hall will soon be all yours!" Young Master Hu said with a sinister laugh, cupping his fists.

"Very good. As long as we kill Feng Li and Shen Haoran, then this Medicine Hall and the spot in the Pill Emperor competition will belong to us. When I retire, it will all be yours!" The Vice Hall Master looked at Young Master Hu and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Hearing the Vice Hall Master’s words, Young Master Hu’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately cupped his fists in thanks.

"You can thank me after the plan succeeds," the Vice Hall Master said faintly. He then turned his gaze to the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes...

Shen Haoran’s group was completely unaware of the conspiracy between the Vice Hall Master and Young Master Hu. The group of more than ten people was in a hurry and didn’t stop for a moment. After half a day, they were far from the sphere of influence of Burning Flame City.

Shen Haoran sat on the Griffin’s back, his eyes tightly closed, still focused on stripping the Spiritual Qi from the Heaven and Earth Energy. There wasn’t much time left before the Pill Emperor competition. If Shen Haoran wanted to take the crown, he had to seize every second to improve his strength. Although he couldn’t break through to the Seventh Grade Alchemist realm yet, he could still make some progress.

"Kid, be careful. There’s an ambush up ahead!" Just as Shen Haoran was engrossed in his Cultivation, Elder Yan’s voice rang out unexpectedly.

Hearing Elder Yan’s words, Shen Haoran awoke from his state of Cultivation. His Spiritual Thought surged out like a tide. From not far ahead, several powerful auras could be felt. These auras were thick with vicious killing intent, clearly directed at his group.

"Hall Master Feng, be on your guard. We’ve run into trouble!" Shen Haoran slowly stood up and said to Feng Li.

Hearing this, Feng Li was taken aback. He immediately spread his Spiritual Thought outward, and his expression changed when he sensed the powerful auras not far away. He had been discussing matters concerning the Pill Emperor competition with the other Elders and hadn’t noticed someone blocking their path.

Feng Li then had the Griffins slow down. A moment later, they saw the Martial Artists blocking their path. They were all dressed in black robes, their faces hidden behind black veils. Among them, two were even using the Sky-Soaring Void Step, clearly powerhouses of the Spirit Emperor Level. The others were all at the Spirit Aspect realm. This was an incredibly formidable group!

"Who might you be? I am Feng Li, the Hall Master of the Burning Flame City’s Medicine Hall. May I ask your name?" Seeing the two Spirit Emperor Level powerhouses, Feng Li’s brow furrowed. ’If their target really is our group, then the situation is dire. On our side, I’m the only one who has reached the Spirit Emperor Tier, while they have two. If a fight breaks out, we’ll be at an immediate disadvantage.’

"Feng Li of Burning Flame City? Good. You’re the ones we’re looking for. Get them!" After hearing Feng Li introduce himself, the leading Spirit Emperor Powerhouse seemed unwilling to waste words and immediately gave a cold command.

Seeing the black-robed figures attack without another word, Feng Li’s expression darkened, and he shouted coldly, "Do you have any idea what the consequences are for offending the Medicine Hall? Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by the Demon Race Medicine Hall?"

"Hmph. If you’re all dead, who’s going to know? Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" the leading Spirit Emperor Powerhouse snorted in response to Feng Li’s words.

"You..." Feng Li started to say more, but Shen Haoran stopped him.

"Hall Master Feng, don’t waste your breath. Their objective is clear: to kill us. More words are useless," Shen Haoran said, glancing coolly at the black-robed figures.

"Damn it! Who would be so bold as to attack us?!" Feng Li cursed under his breath.

"I have a pretty good idea who it is," Shen Haoran said coldly, a frigid glint in his eyes. "But for now, let’s deal with them first."

"Young Friend Shen, take everyone and go. I’ll hold them off here for a while," Feng Li said in a grave voice, stepping in front of Shen Haoran. "Otherwise, we’ll all likely die here. You still have to represent our Burning Flame City Medicine Hall in the Pill Emperor competition. Nothing can happen to you!"

"Hall Master Feng, you’re overreacting." Shen Haoran looked at Feng Li’s solemn expression and chuckled lightly. He then glanced nonchalantly at the black-robed figures and continued, "There’s no need to run from a few small fries like these. I’ll take the two Spirit Emperor Powerhouses. The rest are for you and the other Elders. Keep one alive!"

After speaking, Shen Haoran’s figure vanished on the spot, leaving Feng Li utterly baffled...
