"Which bastard stabbed me in the ass?"

Amidst the crowd, it was unclear who moved first, but a junior cultivator jumped out wailing, with a fountain of blood gushing from his buttocks.

The scene descended into complete chaos in an instant, where it was once barely restrained. Cultivators above the Divine Bridge Realm flew up with their Escape Swords, leaving more anxious junior cultivators on the ground.

"Truly a mixed bag!"

Han Yu watched the clear divide between the two groups of cultivators in the sky and on the ground, thinking how peculiar it would be if such a large group of cultivators in the Yanbo Government Office didn't descend into chaos. They resembled more of a ragtag bunch.

At this moment, over a dozen figures broke through the sky with formidable momentum, causing the crowd below to scatter instantly and make way for them.

Once they landed, the junior cultivators began to approach them with their grievances.

"Sect Leader, we discovered it first, but they're trying to snatch it."

"Bullshit! This thing has always been there, and everyone saw it together. How can you claim you found it first?"

The cultivators below were all talking at once, leaving the sect leaders confused.

Such disturbances by junior cultivators in the city were a tacit understanding among all the sects.

Thus, the frequent comings and goings of their junior cultivators in the city weren't surprising. But what was strange was that this morning, a disciple at the Divine Spring Realm had suddenly run back claiming to have found a treasure.

How could a bunch of junior cultivators understand what a treasure was? Initially, none of the sect leaders paid much attention and sent some Divine Bridge Realm junior cultivators to check it out.

Unexpectedly, those Divine Bridge cultivators didn't return either, and yet another junior cultivator came back.

"The senior brothers are confronting people from other sects. Several sects want to snatch the treasure."

What knowledge could the Divine Bridge cultivators have? Even finding a Spirit Stone would make them silly happy for half a day.

But someone still needed to verify the situation, hoping to avoid a conflict with other sects. After all, everyone was united in dealing with the Celestial Water Sect and it wouldn't look good to cause a scene.

As it happened, they dispatched disciples from the Other Shore Realm, which was already the backbone of a small sect and could often represent the sect independently.

However, this group turned out worse. They went and not a single word came back.

Things became suspicious here. Could it really be that their own disciples had gone out and found a treasure?

The sect leaders began taking the matter seriously, coming in person one by one, still all smiles before landing.

Once they landed, however, the expressions of the dozen or so people immediately changed. Within a ten-meter radius of the box, the Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense, causing even them, Divine Gaze Realm cultivators, to feel their True Essence continually circulating at an accelerated pace.

As they secretly circulated their cultivation techniques, they found their techniques moving rapidly within their bodies.

Clearly, inside that box was just a pill, yet it accelerated the cultivation speed of those nearby. This... This was an extraordinary treasure!

They instantly understood why none of their disciples returned. Now, were they not all having the same thought?

"This thing is mine!"

A chorus of voices rang out simultaneously, and after speaking, they all exchanged glances, their expressions gradually growing colder.

One among them could no longer hold back and reached out for the box, but before he could touch it, a dozen attacks were directed at him...

Watching as the scene below devolved into a melee, Han Yu folded his hands and continued observing the commotion within the city.

A moment later, he finally smiled when he saw two figures coming together from the direction of the Government Office.

If they didn't come any sooner, he would have gotten bored.

Xu Yin had a sullen face, watching a group of people battling from the ground to the sky, with various True Essence attacks exploding in mid-air.

There was even an illusion of a tiger and crane combined attack forming in the air.

Damn it, these two bastards who wanted to split up are now united as tight as a pair of pants.

Unlike him, Elder Liang's attention was attracted to a conspicuous spot below.

Because no matter whether fighting in the sky or on the ground, everyone intentionally left a wide-open spot. Within that spot, a small opened box sat quietly on the ground.

As a Divine Gaze Realm expert, his vision was naturally extraordinary, and within that box, a black pill was placed.

His heart stirred, and while the battle raged, he sprang directly downward.

Upon landing steadily within a ten-meter radius, Elder Liang's expression suddenly shifted dramatically, his old face displaying incredulity.

The Celestial Water Sect's cultivation technique was surging rapidly within him, its speed more than tripled.

Within just a few breaths, he had made his decision.

This item is destined for the Celestial Water Sect!

Xu Yin was charging into the battle to hinder the tiger and crane and two other sect leaders, even managing to fight one against four without falling behind.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Stop, that old bastard from the Celestial Water Sect wants to snatch our treasure."

With this shout, the dozens of figures in the air halted abruptly and then simultaneously dived down.

Elder Liang had yet to touch the box when a crane cry and tiger roar sounded behind him, blade and sword clashed, and even a golden rope formed of True Essence lashed towards him.

"How dare you! I am an Elder of the Celestial Water Sect!"

Elder Liang was livid, furiously angry that these shabby and desolate sect leaders dared to strike with killing intent against him, not just one but all at once.

His hands quickly formed seals and decisively unleashed, "Bright King Unmoving!"

A barrage of True Essence hits struck his body, sending shockwaves rippling, yet failed to harm him a bit.

"A bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs."

While Elder Liang was feeling pleased, the golden rope sneakily wound up from below, swiftly climbing and wrapping around him tightly in just the blink of an eye.

"Senior brother, I'll help you."

Xu Yin descended from the sky, turning his True Essence into sharp arrows.

"Covering Sea."

An imperial decree echoed.

Numerous arrows swept towards the crowd like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, Elder Liang, caught off guard, was ambushed, feeling ashamed and angry. Grinding his teeth, he did not care and forcefully broke the rope with his True Essence, simultaneously flipping his hand to unleash True Essence, manifesting a massive gale!

"Inverted Cloud!"

An imperial decree resounded!

The immense gale, like a tornado, charged towards the group of sect leaders.

"Everyone, let's take care of these two first before anything else."

One sect leader persevered with difficulty amidst the gale, finally unable to hold back and shouted at the others.

"Okay!"

With agreement, over ten True Essence energies surged forth, weaving tightly. From the outside, it looked like an enormous dike, blocking not only the arrows but firmly resisting the gale as well.

"Junior brother, don't get entangled in the fight, quickly take the box away."

As Xu Yin was about to strike, Elder Liang suddenly shouted from behind.

"Damn it, quickly dispel the gale, they're taking the Spirit Pill."

Seeing Xu Yin approaching the box, the crowd couldn't help but become anxious, their True Essence surging recklessly.

Boom!

A tremendous sound erupted as the True Essence and gale collided, resulting in a violent explosion.

Elder Liang grit his teeth, flipping his hand again, unleashing True Essence sharply.

"Inverted Cloud."

Another imperial decree reverberated.

The colossal gale swept back.

Close to the box, Xu Yin's expression suddenly froze.

Followed by a look of incredulity.

"Quick, take it away."

Elder Liang urged repeatedly.

With his heart pounding, Xu Yin snapped back to reality.

He finally understood why the group of Divine Gaze Realm cultivators was fighting to the death over this thing. If it were him, he wouldn't resist either.

Hearing his senior's urging, he dared not hesitate. Stirring his vast True Essence, he blasted away the junior cultivators nearby, snatched the box, and soared into the sky.

"Quickly, chase!"

The remaining people no longer cared about Elder Liang, their expressions sour as they pursued him into the air.

Watching from the city wall, Han Yu laughed heartily.

A single pill indeed attracted all the cultivators in Yanbo Government Office.
