Chapter 545: The Three Demons of Yunyu Sect
After Xiao Ze inspected the materials and found them to be in excellent condition with abundant medicinal power, he nodded in approval. With a wave of his sleeve, several bottles of pills appeared on the table. Baoshan Elder quickly moved forward to examine them, and the more he checked, the happier he seemed. The quality of these high-level pills was exceptional, surpassing any high-level pills he had encountered before. They truly got a great deal.
Even among high-level pills, the quality can greatly affect the energy and medicinal power contained within. By normal standards, the value of these pills was enough to match the materials Xiao Ze needed, especially since the pills he provided were of even higher quality.
"Your pills are of excellent quality, surpassing even these heavenly materials and treasures…" Baoshan Elder said, somewhat hesitantly. According to the value of the items each party brought, Baoshan Elder was at an advantage. He should at least offer Xiao Ze a five-color thunderclap eight-grade pill to make it a fair exchange.
"Heh, don't worry about it; consider it a compensation for the trouble saved by your sects in gathering these materials for me," Xiao Ze said nonchalantly. Deals like this were always about willing sellers and buyers, and it wasn't possible to achieve exact value equivalence. His pills, disregarding quality, were enough to buy these materials. However, because of his superior pill-making skills, they had become much more valuable.
"I hope to cooperate with the three sects again in the future."
"Ha-ha, naturally, we also look forward to cooperating with you again," Baoshan Elder replied, laughing heartily. The quality of Dan Tower's pills was much higher than any they had collected before. The same pill, but of higher quality, meant stronger medicinal effects and more significant improvements. Considering the resistance one might build up to the same kind of pill, taking higher-quality pills was undoubtedly more beneficial.
Seeing the tremendous advantages of further collaboration with Dan Tower, Baoshan Elder naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity for future cooperation. After a pleasant exchange, Xiao Ze finally stood up to take his leave. Baoshan Elder personally escorted Xiao Ze and his companions out of the ancient pavilion, passing the now-empty ancient hall where those with malicious intentions had already set ambushes outside the space town.
Those without such plans had left even earlier, given the lengthy process of Xiao Ze's trade with Baoshan Elder. After leaving the ancient pavilion, Xiao Ze extended his soul perception to scan the space town and then shook his head. They had already shopped around the space town before entering the ancient pavilion, and there was nothing left worth lingering for.
"Let's go back to Dan Tower first and see how the alliance preparations are going," Xiao Ze said as he passed through the space gate with Xiao Yi and Qing Lin. He raised an eyebrow and looked around curiously. Although the space trading event prohibited attacks, outside the event, there were no such constraints.
As a result, many ambushes were set up just outside the event. Xiao Ze even sensed many traces of battle; the area must have been quite lively before. "I wonder how many are here for me?" Xiao Ze remarked, both Xiao Yi and Qing Lin understood his implication. Their high-profile actions during the event could easily attract covetous glances.
"Shall we deal with them?" Qing Lin asked, her green iris rotating slowly as she surveyed the area and assessed the strength of those lying in ambush. The disparity in strength made her quite unconcerned; as long as their number didn't reach an extreme, they posed no real threat to a Dou Saint like Xiao Ze.
"Let's check it out. I sense some particularly malevolent presences among them," Xiao Ze hesitated briefly. The original story hinted at the presence of three notorious demons from the Yunyu Sect here—if they were indeed here, he might as well take care of them.
Boom! Xiao Ze and his companions headed towards the strongest concentration of malevolent presences. As they approached, three figures cloaked in black darted towards them. Xiao Ze, sensing their depraved aura, narrowed his eyes; indeed, it was the three demons of Yunyu Sect.
Known for their perverse and bizarre practices, Yunyu Sect cultivated strength by exploiting female cultivators, a method known as 'Meat Cauldron.' They would groom young girls with excellent cultivation talents, let them cultivate for decades, and then consume their qi through a special method, enhancing their own strength dramatically. This brutal method, often resulting in the death of the victim within days from exhaustion, had led to the sect's near-destruction by a coalition of forces in Zhongzhou years ago.
Interestingly, the auction of the Net Lotus Demon Fire's chart was won by Yao Lao, preventing the event where Yao Lao and Xiao Yan might have had to fight the Yunyu Sect's three demons.
"Heh, didn't expect such a windfall!" The strongest of the three figures, looking at Xiao Yi and Qing Lin, smirked sinisterly. "Hand over your pills nicely, or you'll suffer unnecessarily when we start."
"Boss, why bother being polite? Kill the man, keep the women!" the second figure, with a fierce look, suggested menacingly.
The third, unable to restrain himself, lunged at Xiao Yi, who responded coldly to the disgust these three demons inspired. With a wave of her hand, a swath of purple-gray poison fog enveloped the attacker, moving so fast he couldn't react. His agonizing screams filled the air as the poison took effect, causing the other two demons to panic.
"Act now! Save the third!" But Xiao Ze, with a cold laugh, was not about to let them off easily. Compared to the atrocities they had committed, a simple death would be too kind.
He infused a catastrophic poison into two drops of pure, highly toxic seven-colored liquid and injected it into the bodies of the two unprepared demons. Instantly, their expressions twisted in agony, as if subjected to some horrendous torture. Xiao Ze also made sure the third demon received his share before Xiao Yi withdrew the poison fog to prevent an immediate death from overdose.
She knew Xiao Ze didn't want these three to die easily. The dreadful screams echoing around them were a stark reminder of their fate.
