The next day, the people from the Glorious Treasure Chamber of Commerce brought back the Ancient Demons’ blood essences.
There was still no reaction from the Northern Blade Immortal City. The power displayed by that mysterious powerhouse was too powerful. He was definitely in the third step.
Now that the Northern Blade Sect was in trouble and Ruler Ying was eyeing their great ancestor like a tiger eyeing its prey. Naturally, they would not provoke a powerhouse in the third step just because of a chamber of commerce.
Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce was in the wrong first.
“Has Ruler Ming left?”
The president of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Guangsheng, hurried back. When he returned to the chamber of commerce, Ou Yangming had left.
Xu Hu changed from his previous dispirited appearance to being full of energy. He nodded and said, “Yes, Ruler Ming left the chamber of commerce in the morning.”
“Why didn’t you keep Ruler Ming here for a few more days?” Zhou Guangsheng asked.
Xu Hu smiled bitterly and asked, “Old Zhou, have you turned into a fool? Ruler Ming is such a powerful existence. How could I interfere with his freedom?”
“That’s true.”
Zhou Guangsheng was a little disappointed. He came back in a hurry to visit Ruler Ming, but he did not expect to be late.
He stared at Xu Hu with a strange light in his eyes. “Old Xu, your body has recovered?”
When he left last time, Xu Hu’s body was seriously injured, and his life could be in danger at any time. At this moment, Xu Hu looked no different from an ordinary person. He was even more energetic than before he was injured.
“Of course.” Xu Hu had a smile on his face. He said admiringly, “With Ruler Ming’s help, everything is easy.”
“How did he do it?” Zhou Guangsheng was very curious.
Xu Hu’s injury was too serious. They could not find a solution even if they tried their best, but Ruler Ming solved the problem so easily.
“Ruler Ming gave me a Seven Orifices Recovery Pill. The pill repaired my soul that was devoured by the scorpion’s poison, then he gave me a strange pill. That pill was very mystical. After I ate it, the damage to my body completely disappeared, and I actually recovered to my peak condition in a short while.”
Recalling the situation in the morning, Xu Hu was still somewhat in disbelief. Even he, the great elder of the chamber of commerce, had never heard of such a Golden Pill. Presumably, that thing must also be precious. There was also the Seven Orifices Recovery Pill. That was the best medicinal pill in the Great Wide World. Perhaps only the top sects would be able to keep one or two of them.
Xu Hu knew the name of the medicinal pill and knew its uses, but this kind of divine pill was impossible to obtain even if they used all the strength of the chamber of commerce.
He was immensely grateful. Initially, he had thought that Ou Yangming would take advantage of their chamber of commerce. Now, it seemed that he was the one who had taken advantage of it instead.
“It’s good that you’ve recovered.”
Zhou Guangsheng’s expression gradually eased up. Although he did not manage to see Ruler Ming, his brother’s recovery was worth celebrating.
Xu Hu had a smile on his face. He turned around and gave Steward Mu a look, saying, “Steward Mu, take out that “thing” and show it to the president.”
Steward Mu knew what that “thing” was.
He smiled slightly, opened the counter, and carried out a big item from inside.
Steward Mu himself was a top-grade Venerable One. Logically speaking, he could easily carry a big mountain but at this moment, it was very difficult.
“Old Zhou, look at this.” Xu Hu had a smile on his face.
“This thing. Could it be…”
Zhou Guangsheng thought of the voice transmission that Steward Mu had sent him on the way. He went forward and pulled the animal skin on the item. When he lifted the animal skin, there was a broad treasure sword inside. The sword was as white as snow.
“A Taoist Tool!”
Zhou Guangsheng could tell the grade of this sword at a glance. He had seen many Fine Grade magic treasures. He had only seen Taoist-Tool-level treasures a few times.
He did not expect to get a Taoist Tool!
Zhou Guangsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart. He looked at the JUque Sword and said excitedly, “Old Xu, thank you very much.”
“Don’t mention it. I don’t need this thing anyway,” Xu Hu said as if nothing had happened.
Why was there a hint of jealousy in the air? Zhou Guangsheng smiled and said, “Old Xu, don’t worry. I’ll compensate you in another way. Our shares in the chamber of commerce were 30-70. How about we split it 50-50 from now on?”
“Forget it, forget it.” Xu Hu hurriedly waved his hand. “If you had told me this a year ago, I’d be moved, but I’ve come to terms with everything when I was injured. It’s fine as long as we have enough wealth. It’s useless even if we have more. Everything will turn to dust after we die.”
“It’s still more important to improve our strengths. Do you think someone at the level of Ruler Ming would care about this little bit of wealth of ours?
“Old Xu, are you sure you don’t want to consider it? I’ve gained a lot from you this time,” Zhou Guangsheng asked again.
“Forget it. If there’s such an opportunity in the future, just give me a Taoist Tool.” Xu Hu smiled.
After leaving the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, Ou Yangming walked toward the Mystic Sky Sect.
The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leady was the only human powerhouse he was familiar with. It was better to tell them the news he got from the Nine-sworded Ruler as soon as possible.
Whether it was the Nine-sworded Ruler, Ruler Ying, or the mysterious old man…
Experts from other worlds had sneaked in one by one but at this moment, the powerhouses from the Great Wide World still did not understand what was happening.
This was a very dangerous signal. Those people were their biggest competitors.
After a few days, Ou Yangming arrived outside the Mystic Sky Sect.
Looking at the towering mountains in front of him, he could not help but feel a little emotional. Last time, he entered as an outer sect disciple. This time, he wanted to use his identity as an almighty being to go directly to the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader.
The 330,000 mountains were endless.
Last time, Ou Yangming did not even go deep into them. He took a step forward, and his body instantly disappeared into the air.
A kilometer away, Ou Yangming’s power of the law of space had become more proficient.
Suddenly, Ou Yangming heard a few voices discussing.
Through their conversation, he heard something he was concerned about.
He gradually landed and hid his body. In the forest, 3 men and 2 women were wearing white Taoist robes.
This was the attire of the inner sect disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect. It was much more exquisite than the grey robes of the outer sect disciples. The 5 of them were Venerable Ones.
“Is Ruler Ying really that powerful?” A man asked in surprise.
“Of course. Including the Northern Blade Ruler, 4 third-step mighty figures had been defeated by him. Ruler Yungzhong’s formation was astonishing. He has supreme prestige in the Cloud Imperial City, yet he was killed by Ruler Ying before he could enter his territory,” the older disciple said.
“I heard that the Northern Blade Sect invited 6 third-step powerhouses to guard Ruler Ying when he arrived. Why didn’t they take him down?”
Of the 5, the pretty girl with a ponytail asked. She also knew some inside information.
“It’s not that they didn’t want to, but they didn’t dare,” the older disciple said once more.
“Why wouldn’t they dare? There are 6 of them in the third step, and they’ve taken over most of the top-tier powerhouses of our human race,” the girl asked hesitantly.
“Ruler Ying is very formidable, but he’s not the most terrifying one. My second uncle went to the Northern Blade Sect to watch the battle. That’s how I got the inside information. In the beginning, it was only between the Northern Blade Sect’s great ancestor and Ruler Ying. Later on, the great ancestor realized that he wasn’t a match, so he ordered people to take down Ruler Ying.”
“In the end?” The others hurriedly asked.
Everyone liked to gossip, especially about these top-level powerhouses. Most people were curious.
The older disciple took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Ruler Ying isn’t the strongest. Behind him is an old man. That old man is the strongest. The moment that old man made his move, he blocked the attacks of 6 top-tier powerhouses in the third step. This shocked everyone. In the end, they could only watch as Ruler Ying heavily injured the great ancestor before the 2 of them left.”
“How could that be?!”
The others were all stunned. 6 strong Rulers had attacked at the same time, but they were all blocked by one person. Just how powerful was the old man?
Suddenly, the disciple who had just spoken frowned. He took out a jade token from his waist and looked at the contents on it. Then, he looked like he was panicking.
“Ruler Ying has come knocking on our door. My second uncle wants us to return as soon as possible!”
Their expressions changed at the same time. They ran toward the direction of the sect.
After he left, Ou Yangming walked out from behind the big tree.
“I didn’t expect that the Northern Blade Sect’s great ancestor would still be defeated.”
Back in Starlight City, Yang Liu had left in a hurry to unite with the other powerhouses. Ou Yangming did not expect that he did it and found 6 third-step mighty figures to guard the Northern Blade Sect.
Despite that, all of that was in vain. The old man behind Ruler Ying was too powerful. He had single-handedly blocked 6 powerhouses, shocking countless people present.
Ou Yangming was already in the third step, but he knew he absolutely could not block the attacks of 6 third-step powerhouses.
If he were to face such a situation, his best choice would be to use the laws of time and space to quickly escape.
How strong was the old man?
Ou Yangming could not guess because he did not know how much strength the other party had displayed. Even so, the strength displayed by the other party was far from what he could compare with.
Perhaps Ou Yangming would only have a chance to fight against such a person after he had fused with 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones or broke through to the third step of the laws.
Ou Yangming looked ahead. He could feel that the powerful auras of the Mystic Sky Sect were gathering toward a certain place. He slowly raised his head and clearly saw the 2 figures in the sky.
One was old while the other was young. They were both wearing long red robes.
Soon, the old man disappeared into the sky. He had disappeared into thin air. Even Ou Yangming could not find him.
The young man was the young man that Ou Yangming had seen outside the starry sky of the Zhenwu Continent. Ou Yangming focused his eyes and approached that place.
Unknowingly, Ou Yangming had walked to the Spiritual Herbs Mountain that he had once guarded. Outside the small house on the Spiritual Herbs Mountain, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes was lying on a bamboo chair.
Ou Yangming smiled slightly and walked over. When the young man on the bamboo chair heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes curiously and looked at the young fellow who was walking over.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and cried out, “Ou Yangming!”
