Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 2036

the pill fairy was no longer the warm and gentle pill fairy. even her voice had become harsher.

“divine daughter... we might not make it in time.” elder tianqi was sweating and his voice shuddered.

“why not?!” demanded the pill fairy, anger in her eyes.

“divine daughter, please don’t misunderstand. it’s not that we don’t want to disperse the formation but that we just used the divine energy of the two god statues. with their energy within the formation, it will take some time to disperse...” elder tianqi didn’t even dare to look the pill fairy in her eyes.

the process of sending the divine energy back to the statues was complicated and took a long time. elder tianqi was filled with regret. if he had known that long chen possessed such power, he would have used the power of the divine statues from the start.

however, that energy was the faith energy of pill valley’s disciples and their tribute to the gods. unless they had absolutely no choice, they wouldn’t use it. if the gods learned of it, it would displease them. their divine punishment wasn’t something that they could bear.

the pill fairy’s expression darkened. “how long will it take?”

“even at the fastest pace... it will take six hours,” said elder tianqi nervously.

six hours. by then, long chen would have been long gone. there would be no way to chase him.

“elder tianqi, you’ve grown old. you should take a good break.” the pill fairy’s white sword suddenly slashed down.

“divine daughter!”

elder tianqi cried out in shock. he hadn’t expected the divine daughter to actually kill him. he tried to retreat, but he found that he couldn’t move.

that was the influence of his soul. his reverence and fear for the gods meant that the divine daughter could kill him regardless of his cultivation base or combat power.

he had just understood this point when he was cut in two by that sharp sword. there was no blood that flowed. before he even fell, he was turned to ash.

“heavens!”

the countless experts that had been gathered here were stunned by that sight. then they looked around at the deplorable state of the plaza and the giant pillar that had slammed into it. the surrounding buildings were broken. there was blood. the only thing that wasn’t there was long chen.

their hearts pounded wildly. they guessed something, but they acted like they didn’t know anything, controlling their own expressions to avoid provoking a calamity.

those disciples all felt admiration for long chen. he was truly worthy of being a legendary figure of the martial heaven continent. he always managed to shake heaven and earth. they had personally witnessed it.

the pill fairy didn’t leave behind any other directives before going into seclusion. the valley master was also in seclusion. the one who had been temporarily in charge, elder tianqi, was also dead. there was no one to lead them.

pill valley entered a tense state. none of them dared to go ask the pill fairy for instruction. they wanted to live.

the various elders secretly gathered, even pulling in wan qing. wan qing didn’t say a word. she knew what the elders were doing by pulling her in. it was to leave themselves an opening. if there was a problem and the pill fairy was infuriated, by using her, perhaps they could avoid punishment.

there were over a million disciples gathered here, and they couldn’t force them to stay. but if they let them go just like this, they were afraid of being blamed by the pill fairy.

they didn’t know what to do. they couldn’t make them stay until the valley master came out of seclusion. they were guests, not prisoners. if they did that, pill valley would have offended the entire continent.

after their meeting, they came to a decision. they would open the formation after seven days. these disciples would have to first rest within pill valley.

in truth, under normal circumstances, dispersing the formation wouldn’t even take a day. however, this was to give them some buffer room, winning seven days for them. if the valley master came out of seclusion or the pill fairy gave some directions during this time, they would have saved themselves. if the valley master didn’t come out and the pill fairy didn’t pass any instructions, then they couldn’t blame them for acting on their own after waiting a whole seven days.

just like that, pill valley slowly began dispersing their formation, firmly saying that these disciples would have to wait until the seven days were up.

even after seven days, yu xiaoyun didn’t come out of seclusion, and the pill fairy didn’t say anything, so pill valley finally let these disciples out.

once they were out, heaven-shaking news instantly spread throughout the continent.

long chen had charged into pill valley, played with elder tianqi, and managed to sneak into the brahma secret realm. there, he had collected a fee to enter, broken the divine pillars, entered the palace, fought with thirteen empyreans with awakened manifestations, and killed leng wufeng and lu zichuan. if the pill fairy hadn’t come, the remaining empyreans might also have died.

the entire continent was shaken. when it came to courting death, if long chen claimed he was number two, no one would dare claim to be number one.

the entire continent began looking for long chen. they knew that his injuries were serious. it was unknown if he was even still alive.

some people began to spread word that long chen had succumbed to his injuries. if they could find him, perhaps they could obtain his secrets and become a second long chen.

whether it was those that cared for long chen or those that wished to harm him, everyone was in motion, searching for him.

...

after fleeing from pill valley, long chen was carried away by the heaven flipping seal. he couldn’t endure any longer and fainted.
