Chapter 3605: Luo Teng Yun

The sound of wind howling rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian followed the crowd outside.

Meng Qi You soon appeared with an old man in his hand. Blood stained the hem of the old man’s long grey robe. Although the old man’s aura was weak, traces of resentment and unwillingness could be seen in his eyes.

“An ordinary rudimentary god like you won’t be able to escape from me even if you’re in your prime, let alone now when you’ve yet to recover from your old injuries. You’re only able to use 80% of your strength. How dare you try to steal from the Meng family with such strength?” Meng Qi You said contemptuously as he flung the old man to the ground. Then, he killed the old man with just a strike of his palm. Unlike the middle-aged man who did not even have a corpse after he died, the old man’s corpse remained intact.

“A rudimentary god?”

The crowd gasped when they returned to their senses after hearing Meng Qi You’s words. Then, they began to discuss furtively among themselves.

“The Meng family’s divine pill alchemist is so strong!”

“Before he attained godhood, he was already famous. After he attained godhood, he lived in seclusion to focus on the art of refining pills. For that reason, no one knew how strong he had gotten. There are people who said he’s one of the weakest among the rudimentary gods in the Meng family. I didn’t expect him to possess such terrifying strength!”

“If he’s an ordinary rudimentary god, that old man wouldn’t have been much weaker than him if he were in his prime. Even if he could only use 80% of his strength, he shouldn’t have died so easily.”

“That’s right. Based on his strength, it seems like he’s probably one of the strongest rudimentary gods in the Meng family.”

“Anyway, I’m really surprised by the old man. I didn’t think there’s such a powerful rudimentary god in Descent Mountain City!”

“That’s right. However, I’ve never seen him before.”

“Where did he come from?”

No one knew who the old man was. Nevertheless, his death still stirred up a commotion since he was a rudimentary god.

At the same time, a young man stood among the crowd as he stared intently at the old man’s corpse without much of an expression. However, if one were to look carefully, one would be able to see he was trembling.

The young man’s appearance and build were average, and he was dressed in a green robe. A hint of regret could be seen in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the corpse of the old man on the ground.

No one, including Duan Ling Tian and Meng Qi You, sensed the young man’s abnormalities.

At this time, Meng Qi You handed the Psychic Pill over to Duan Ling Tian as he said apologetically, “I’m really sorry about that. You must have been shocked. The Psychic Pill is slightly stained with the blood of a rudimentary god. This can be considered a good sign. You might directly attain godhood after consuming the Psychic Pill…”

As Meng Qi You spoke, his expression eased, and a smile could be seen on his face. It was hard to imagine he had just killed a rudimentary good just a moment ago.

“Thank you for your auspicious words, Alchemist Meng,” Duan Ling Tian said.

After receiving the Psychic Pill, Duan Ling Tian handed the 3,000 taels of divine rocks to Meng Qi You. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he consumed the pill immediately.

Hints of greed, envy, and jealousy could be seen in the crowd’s eyes when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. Alas, there was nothing they could do now that Duan Ling Tian had eaten the Psychic Pill. Even if they killed him, they still would not be able to obtain the Psychic Pill. However, there were some who surmised Duan Ling Tian had to be wealthy for him to be able to afford the Psychic Pill. It crossed their minds to rob Duan Ling Tian, but they dismissed their covetous thoughts when they looked at the corpse of the rudimentary god again. They could only watch as Duan Ling Tian left. None of them dared to follow him since Meng Qing You was keeping an eye on Duan Ling Tian.

After Duan Ling Tian vanished out of sight, Meng Qi You’s expression turned solemn as he said to Meng Yuan before he left, “Deal with the other matter…”

Meng Qi You had deliberately left the old man with an intact corpse to remind the crowd of his strength. He wanted them to know that the rudimentary gods from the Meng family were so powerful that they could easily kill another rudimentary god.

When Duan Ling Tian and Meng Qi You left, the inconspicuous young man left as well, making his way to a small alley. His hands were tightly clenched into fists as he said through gritted teeth, “The Meng family, Meng Qi You, and Duan Ling Tian… I’ll make all of you pay for what you did today!”

The young man was a descendant of the rudimentary god that Meng Qi You had killed. His name was Luo Teng Yun, a demigod that was slightly over 1,000 years old. He was on the brink of a breakthrough and attaining god.

The dead rudimentary god was Luo Teng Yun’s ancestor and the only god in his family. The other members of his family could barely become Celestial Emperors so he was very excited when Luo Yu Teng was close to attaining godhood. He had expended all his effort to cultivate Luo Teng Yun due to Luo Teng Yun’s talent.

A few months ago, Luo Yu Teng’s ancestor received news about the Meng family’s divine pill alchemist successfully refining a Psychic Pill. He, naturally, wanted to get the Psychic Pill for Luo Teng Yun. Unfortunately, he did not have 3,000 taels of divine rocks. Hence, he had been trying to gather enough divine rocks to buy the pill. He did not expect a disciple from the Glorious Heaven Sect would suddenly show up to buy the Psychic Pill.

Luo Teng Yun’s ancestor grew anxious when he saw Duan Ling Tian buying the Psychic Pill so he made a move immediately. Although it would be less risky for him to make a move when Duan Ling Tian was alone, he was worried Duan Ling Tian might directly consume the pill after receiving it. Hence, he decided to quickly make a move.

Luo Yun Teng did not expect his ancestor would be so swiftly killed. It was clear now that Meng Qi You was not an ordinary or weak rudimentary god like the rumors said. It was unfortunate that the false rumor cost his ancestor his life. He vowed to avenge the death of his ancestor. After all, his ancestor had been very good to him. He was determined to kill everyone who was related to his ancestor’s death.

Luo Teng Yun left Descent Mountain City with a huge grudge in his heart. He swore to return after attaining godhood. He was confident of his strength. Although his innate talent was not the best, he had very high comprehension skills. In fact, his comprehension of the law had already surpassed his ancestor. After he attained godhood, he was confident that even the intermediate gods in Descent Mountain City would not be a match for him. He vowed to himself to wash Descent Mountain City with blood once he attained godhood.

…

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that a young talent now considered him an enemy. He was also unaware that the young talent was a demigod.

When Duan Ling Tian returned to his room in the inn, he began to cultivate. During his journey back to the inn, he could feel he had overcome the bottleneck in his cultivation, which prevented him from attaining godhood, thanks to the Psychic Pill’s efficacy.

Duan Ling Tian felt as though he could attain godhood at any moment now.

…

While Duan Ling Tian was in closed-door cultivation, a huge commotion had broken out in the quiet Descent Mountain City.

There was not much of a commotion when Qian Fei, the second Young Master of the Qian family, led men to annihilate the southern village of the Duan Clan Village. However, a huge commotion was stirred up when news spread about the arrival of Glorious Heaven Sect disciple in the city and Meng Qi You killing a rudimentary god for trying to rob the Psychic Pill.

…

In the Qian family’s estate.

“Son, I heard you went to Endless Mountain and annihilated the southern village of the Duan Clan Village because of your new wife. Is that true?” Qian Yue Jin, the head of the Qian family, asked his second son, Qian Fei.

“Yes, father,” Qian Fei obediently replied. The arrogant Qian Fei was incredibly docile in front of his father.

“It’s fine if you’re domineering, but be careful you don’t end up offending those you shouldn’t offend,” Qian Yue Jin said solemnly in a low voice, “A disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect is in Descent Mountain City, and he’s staying in the Heaven Martial Sect’s Carefree Inn. You best not offend him. No one in the Qian family, including me, will be able to protect you if you offend him..”
