Nine Regions Sword Emperor

Chapter 6968 The Struggle for Elixir
Unlike the two Dan Valley elders in the inner valley, who only used special secret techniques to bring their power close to that of a Great Emperor but did not condense an Emperor's Seal, they were merely pseudo-Great Emperors.

This middle-aged man was actually a genuine Great Emperor.

This person was not a disciple of Dan Valley, yet he appeared before Elder Baiyang.

As soon as Chu Fengmian stepped into the valley and saw the two people, he already guessed their purpose.

"I came here on someone's behalf. A friend wants to meet with Elder Baiyang. Now that the person has been brought, I will take my leave."

Elder Merlin also noticed the two people talking with Elder Baiyang inside the wooden house.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he recognized the two men. He then immediately spoke, and turned to leave.

He had received payment from Chu Fengmian, so he brought Chu Fengmian into the Pill Valley to meet Elder Baiyang.

If nothing had happened, Elder Merlin had planned to stay and say a few more words in Chu Fengmian's defense in order to maintain his friendship with him.

However, upon seeing that Elder Baiyang had other guests, Elder Merlin understood something and immediately left.

Although Elder Merlin wanted to win over Chu Fengmian, he was even more unwilling to offend other martial artists, especially since the other party was a Great Emperor, and one with a very powerful background.

Therefore, Elder Merlin immediately left, not intending to participate in this struggle.

Chu Fengmian understood Elder Merlin's choice, so he didn't try to stop him. Since Elder Merlin had come before Elder Baiyang, his purpose had been achieved.

"Oh? May I ask who you are? What brings you to my humble abode?"

Seeing Elder Merlin leave, Elder Baiyang's gaze fell on Chu Fengmian, scrutinizing him carefully, seemingly wanting to confirm Chu Fengmian's identity and strength.

However, Chu Fengmian's appearance felt completely unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't discern any strength from Chu Fengmian's body under his observation.

To conceal his cultivation level, Chu Fengmian hid his power, so much so that even a Great Emperor could not discern his true strength.

Although Elder Baiyang was unparalleled in alchemy, his martial arts skills were not high. He was only an ordinary king-level transcendent, and his actual combat strength was even worse. Naturally, he could not see through Chu Fengmian's true abilities.

"We came for the True Origin Emperor Pill."

Upon hearing Elder Baiyang's question.

Chu Fengmian also got straight to the point.

"I heard that Elder Baiyang seems to have encountered some trouble. I came here today to help Elder Baiyang resolve his troubles."

"True Origin Emperor Pill!"

When Chu Fengmian uttered those four words.

Elder Baiyang's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unsurprised.

Since he and Chu Fengmian were complete strangers, the only reason Chu Fengmian would specifically ask Elder Meilin to come see him was probably for the True Origin Emperor Pill.

Furthermore, since he himself deliberately leaked the information about the True Origin Emperor Pill, it's not surprising that martial artists would come seeking it.

In fact, it wasn't just Chu Fengmian; Elder Baiyang had already received several other martial artists who came for the True Origin Emperor Pill before him.

Elder Baiyang had not yet said anything.

Inside the wooden house, Elder Baiyang's other two guests' expressions changed drastically. The middle-aged man stared intently at Chu Fengmian, seemingly trying to discern Chu Fengmian's identity and background, wanting to see what gave him the confidence to dare to covet the True Origin Emperor Pill.

The young man, however, couldn't hold back any longer. He glanced at Chu Fengmian and then said sternly.

"Who do you think you are! How dare you covet and taint a treasure like the True Origin Emperor Pill?!"

"Oh? A little brat like you dares to be so insolent in front of me?"

Upon hearing the young man speak, Chu Fengmian's expression turned cold. He had originally been too lazy to bother with a mere overlord-level brat.

However, since the other party had taken the initiative to provoke him, Chu Fengmian did not intend to let him off the hook and had to teach him a lesson.

As Chu Fengmian spoke, he suddenly made a move, grabbing at the young man. The instant Chu Fengmian made his move, an invisible hand descended from the sky and enveloped the young man's body.

The immense power made the young man feel a heavy pressure as he breathed, as if he were about to be suppressed at any moment.

"Boundless golden light! A sudden burst of golden light!"

Faced with Chu Fengmian's palm strike, the young man's expression changed drastically. He snorted coldly, and suddenly countless golden lights appeared around him. These countless golden lights seemed to be the young man's true form.

This is his power, the fundamental way he has mastered.

Golden Light Origin!

Under the young man's control, countless golden rays shot into the sky, transforming into a beam of light that pierced through everything, and then shot out towards Chu Fengmian.

The power of the fundamental way!
Although this young man was only at the Overlord level, because he cultivated the Path of Origin, his strength was in no way inferior to that of a King-level transcendent!
However, Chu Fengmian only glanced at it before raising his hand and casually pinching it.

Click!

The golden light was casually crushed by Chu Fengmian and dissipated in the sky.

Such power wasn't even qualified to threaten Chu Fengmian. Everyone present could see that the two were clearly not on the same level.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a Great Emperor as well. As a fellow Great Emperor, it seems a bit like bullying a junior."

In the instant that golden light was crushed by Chu Fengmian's bare hands.

The middle-aged man behind the young man also suddenly focused his gaze. He took a step forward and came to the young man's side. A powerful force suddenly erupted, breaking the force of Chu Fengmian's palm.

Chu Fengmian originally only intended to teach the young man a small lesson, so he did not unleash much power when he attacked. Naturally, he could not withstand the attack of this great emperor.

"Bullying the weak? Your son offended me, so it's only right that I teach him a lesson."

Chu Fengmian looked at the middle-aged man and casually spoke.

"Is that so? My son, Jiang Yuan, is not someone else's place to teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian's words, Jiang Yuan's expression turned cold, and he looked at Chu Fengmian with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Your words are quite boastful. In that case, I'd like to see if your strength is as great as you claim!"

"Purple Qi is coming from the east!"

With a roar from Jiang Yuan, beams of immortal light rose up from behind him.
