Primordial Star Scripture

This eerie scene terrified everyone!

The patrons of the small tavern had thought Shopkeeper Liu was certainly doomed to die, but to their utter surprise, it was the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouse from the Heavenly Tiger Gang who ended up dead!

With a Rotating Pill Realm expert killed, who could have made the move?

Shopkeeper Liu?

The patrons were all too familiar with Shopkeeper Liu. Ever since reaching the fifth layer of True Qi, his strength had never advanced and had always remained within the True Qi Realm. It was simply impossible for someone in the True Qi Realm to kill a Rotating Pill Realm expert!

If not Shopkeeper Liu, then who?

The patrons glanced around at each other, but the strongest aura in the tavern was merely at the True Qi Realm level; there was no one present capable of killing a Rotating Pill Realm adversary.

As for the members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang outside, it was even less likely that they would kill their own Rotating Pill Realm expert.

"Could it be that a master concealed nearby has taken action?"

Many patrons began to look up into the void above them.

They conjectured that to kill a Rotating Pill Realm expert so effortlessly, this concealed master must be at least at the mid-Rotating Pill Realm, or perhaps even at the late stage of the realm!

The customers inside the tavern were stunned, while the members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang were completely petrified with fear.

They had never imagined that one of their leading Rotating Pill Realm experts, Leader Ruan Biao, would be slain instantly, utterly defenseless!

Leader Ruan Biao was the second strongest in their team, only slightly less powerful than the other Rotating Pill Realm expert, Ruan Long, the Leader. Even the Young Family Head, who was at the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, wasn't quite as strong as Leader Ruan Biao.

With Leader Ruan Biao dead, their team would stand no chance if someone wanted to target them!

The bandits from the Heavenly Tiger Gang were entirely startled, while their leader, the Young Family Head, and Ruan Long, another early Rotating Pill Realm expert, felt a chill in their spines.

The Young Family Head had a feeling that the kind of power it took to easily kill Ruan Biao was something only the three Great Masters of Black Wind Stronghold could possibly wield.

Now, here at this small tavern, could it be that he had encountered such a hidden master?!

And Ruan Long, with a trembling voice, looked around the empty space: "Who's there? Who killed my brother, come out!"

Ruan Biao was Ruan Long's brother, and they had joined Black Wind Stronghold together with deep affection for one another. But Ruan Long didn't dare to voice his challenge loudly. Although he was a notch above his brother, his superiority was limited, and given that his brother had been killed without even a trace of ashes left, he would undoubtedly have no chance of survival if he encountered this master.

Ruan Long's only hope lay in the reputation of Black Wind Stronghold.

There were three leaders in Black Wind Stronghold, with the Great Master being a late-stage Rotating Pill Realm powerhouse, and the second and third masters both mid-stage experts. Even if this hidden master was stronger than him, in Ruan Long's eyes, he couldn't possibly be stronger than the three leaders of Black Wind Stronghold.

After all, someone stronger than the three leaders would likely be at the Heavenly Saint Realm, and it seemed unlikely that a Heavenly Saint Realm expert would involve themselves in such a trivial matter.

Ruan Long shouted tremblingly into the void, and the others also turned their gaze upwards.

Everyone thought the hidden master was in the void.

Just then, from among the patrons of the small tavern, Ye Chen walked out with a young monkey in his arms and said indifferently, "Get lost. From now on, stop wreaking havoc in Falling Frost City."

Whoosh.

Ye Chen's voice drew all the gazes that had been fixed on the void.

"It's him!"

"Could it be this young man who took action and saved my grandfather?"

Liu Yingying looked at Ye Chen, filled with disbelief.

Although the young girl had a premonition that Ye Chen was out of the ordinary when she secretly looked at him earlier, she could never have imagined that this young man, not much older than her and without any semblance of a strong aura, could kill a Rotating Pill Realm expert!

It was simply beyond imagination!

Not only was Liu Yingying astonished, but Shopkeeper Liu and the other patrons of the tavern also felt it was inconceivable.

Especially the patron who had just been talking to Ye Chen about the Heavenly Tiger Gang, he could never have imagined that the young man he spoke with was actually a master capable of killing a Rotating Pill Realm expert!

"You, you killed my brother..." Ruan Long also looked at Ye Chen in hesitant disbelief.

He could sense that Ye Chen was as young in age as he looked, truly very young.

A youth of such a young age being able to kill an early Rotating Pill Realm warrior meant that this young man undoubtedly possessed the strength of at least the mid-Rotating Pill Realm.

To think that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old could cultivate to the mid-Rotating Pill Realm, even Ruan Long, who held a significant position in Black Wind Stronghold, had never seen such a feat!

"How is this possible."

"You're even younger than me, how could you be so powerful?!"

The young man in the black fur coat from Black Wind Stronghold also wore a face full of disbelief.

"I told you to scram. Didn't you hear?"

Ye Chen glanced indifferently at the bandits from Black Wind Stronghold.

As his gaze landed on the Young Family Head, a glint of sharpness passed in Ye Chen's eyes: "Right, since this situation started because of you, I need to teach you a lesson, so you won't harm others in the future."

"What are you going to do!?"

The Young Family Head felt a numbness all over his body under Ye Chen's stare and had a bad premonition.

Before he could react, he suddenly saw Ye Chen's finger lightly tap and felt a sharp pain in his lower body. Then, he realized that something seemed missing from below.

When the Young Family Head looked down, he saw his crotch was hollow, and after catching a fleeting glimpse of a fire spark, he screamed in disbelief, "My... you! You!"

The Young Family Head, even in the late stage of the Linghai, still had his lower parts destroyed by Ye Chen in the blink of an eye!

After screaming a few times, either unable to bear the pain or to accept such an outcome, the Young Family Head fainted and fell from his horse.

"Young Family Head!"

When the members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang saw their Young Family Head falling from his steed, they quickly rushed over to catch him. As they saw the blood on his lower body, many of them screamed in shock.

Ruan Long was completely petrified.

He couldn't believe that Ye Chen had acted with such decisiveness, not only killing his brother but also crippling his Young Family Head.

What was even more terrifying was that he hadn't even seen the moves Ye Chen used!

Thinking of this, Ruan Long didn't dare to stay where he was. Holding the Young Family Head, he shouted to the gang of Heavenly Tiger horse bandits, "Back to the stronghold!"

Then, he abandoned his steed and, holding the Young Family Head, soared through the air towards Black Wind Stronghold.

In his heart, Ruan Long cried out, "I can't deal with this man, run! Run! I must report this to the three Great Masters so they can decide what to do!"

Seeing their leaders either dead or injured, and the only unharmed leader fleeing, the bandits of the Heavenly Tiger Gang also panicked and raced back toward Black Wind Stronghold.

"Are we just going to let them go?" many of the tavern's patrons turned to Ye Chen.

They even hoped that Ye Chen would act more ruthlessly and kill all the bandits!

After all, over the years, these bandits had looted them many times, causing constant fear and worry.

However, Ye Chen ignored the patrons and didn't bother with the fleeing members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang. Instead, he turned to Liu Yingying and Shopkeeper Liu with a smile, "Are you two all right?"

"We're fine," Liu Yingying shook her head, her eyes looking at Ye Chen as if trying to understand how he could be so powerful!

Shopkeeper Liu, anxious, said to Ye Chen, "Young brother, thank you for stepping in to save me. However, the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang are incredibly powerful, especially the Great Master, who is a strong contender in the late Rotating Pill Realm!"

"Young brother, you have attracted trouble by saving me, you should leave quickly. Once the three Great Masters come down, our lives are insignificant, but we can't let you get involved and be in trouble, we simply cannot afford to compensate!"

Hearing Shopkeeper Liu's urgency, Liu Yingying also grew anxious, "Yes, little brother, you should leave quickly."

At that moment, Ye Chen raised his hand, silencing them, "Don't worry. If they truly come, then good, I'll help you solve this problem once and for all to avoid any future troubles."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Ye Chen was speaking to Liu Yingying and Shopkeeper Liu, the sky suddenly filled with ear-piercing screeches. Then, three terrifying streaks of light shot towards the tavern at a wild speed from the distant heavens.

"They're here!"

"It's over, the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang have arrived!"

As the thundering screeches traveled dozens of miles and the fearsome trio of lights approached at inconceivable speed, many of the tavern's patrons who had not left yet were scared out of their wits.

It was clear to them that the incoming figures must be the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang, mighty fighters at the middle and late stages of the Rotating Pill Realm.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In a matter of breaths, the three streaks of light rapidly approached and dissipated, revealing three middle-aged figures suspended in the air.

Those who recognized these three figures immediately knew they were the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang!

Great Master Mu Yunhu, Second Master Zhao Xuan, and Third Master Wang Bao!

"It's you!"

"You harmed my son and killed the Leader of our Stronghold?"

As they hovered above the tavern, Great Master Mu Yunhu, a late-stage Rotating Pill exponent, stared at Ye Chen with eyes as cold as knives.

Seeing the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang appear and having Great Master Mu Yunhu directly looking at Ye Chen, the other patrons hurriedly distanced themselves from Ye Chen.

But Liu Yingying and Shopkeeper Liu stood beside Ye Chen, trembling as they looked up at the three men in the sky.

Ye Chen smiled at Liu Yingying and Shopkeeper Liu and then scanned the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang in the air. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to a higher point in the sky, his expression growing serious.

"So you have been hiding here all along, come out. Let me see which Heavenly Saint has been following me these past few days," Ye Chen called out to that higher spot in the void.

Heavenly Saint?!

At his words, the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang in the sky were so frightened they almost fell out of the air!

The patrons of the tavern, as well as Shopkeeper Liu and Liu Yingying on the ground, were completely shocked.

Heavenly Saint?

Hiding in the void?

A Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse, a major figure capable of traversing the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, was actually hiding and following this young man?

Everyone's mind was overwhelmed.

At that moment, the part of the void Ye Chen was staring at was torn open, and a young man stepped out from the crack.

Upon emerging, the young man saw the three Great Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Gang below and smiled lightly, flicking his fingers. "Bang bang bang," three beams of light flashed by, and the three powerful Rotating Pill Realm experts of the Heavenly Tiger Gang, who were untouchable masters in Falling Frost City, were instantly killed!

Then, the young man looked at Ye Chen with a smile, "To think you've noticed me and even dared to call me out directly. Ye Chen, it seems you're not afraid of me at all!"

This young man, who had instantly killed three powerful fighters of the Rotating Pill Realm, was none other than the helper brought in by Yin Qianjue to kill Ye Chen, one of the outstanding early-stage warriors of the Heavenly Saint Realm, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint!
