On the mountain peak, silence was like an abyss.

The frenzied roar of the middle-aged Pill Master pierced the clouds, and even from a distance, the madness within it was terrifying.

"A true Outer Pill?" Zhou Yuanfeng raised an eyebrow, a glimmer appearing in his eyes: "It is indeed the path of poison pills, just as I had speculated before."

The Silver Household General, holding dual hooks, frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What is the path of poison pills?"

Zhou Yuanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, the hem of his clothes flapping in the wind: "It is a branch of Alchemy Dao, rarely known, it's normal that you don't know."

"Though Pill Masters excel in alchemy, they lack combat power, so many of them break away from tradition and delve into the evil art of poison pills."

"So-called poison pills use pills as poison, turning oneself into a demon, a path despised by the Alchemy Master Alliance."

"The true Outer Pill he mentioned earlier, I've heard about it from someone in the Alchemy Master Alliance."

After a slight pause, Zhou Yuanfeng's gaze turned cold and piercing.

"To forge a false pill with the flesh and blood of cultivators, the more flesh and blood, the stronger the false pill."

"If it reaches perfection, it can rival the Supreme True Elixir."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Household General seemed to understand: "It seems there are quite a few poison pill masters lurking within the Alchemy Master Alliance."

At this point, the truth was revealed.

This person infiltrated the Alchemy Master Alliance, using poison pills to control a host of demons, stirring up a storm at the Hunter Conference.

Otherwise, why would demons like Zhu Lie submit so easily?

Why choose the Hunter Conference? Because it already results in casualties, and using this opportunity to refine a false pill would surely cover up their intentions.

However, this person was too eager for quick success, and the Evil Extermination Bureau saw through it, so he devised a plan, pretending to be captured by Zhu Lie to seek a way out.

Unexpectedly, the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau weren't fooled, which led to this situation.

"So there's such a story."

A voice rang out.

The crowd turned back, only to see Qin An leading the Bronze Household Generals to the mountain peak, having heard the entire conversation just now.

The eyes of the poison pill master were even more frenzied: "I have no desire to be an enemy of the Evil Extermination Bureau, only small forces of little importance have died. If you spare me a path to life, when the false pill is completed, I will eliminate equivalent demons to atone!"

Behind him, the giant sphere exuded a fragrance as compelling as a pill.

"A path to life?" Zhou Yuanfeng shook his head with a cold smile: "If everyone were like this, Xunyang Prefecture would have long become a purgatory!"

No matter how small the force, as long as it's within Xunyang Prefecture's jurisdiction, it receives the protection of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

If such a precedent were to be set, it would shake the foundation of Xunyang Prefecture.

Qin An rubbed his chin, his eyes narrowing slightly, brilliant light flickering within: "Such a rich Qi Blood Power."

This false pill is no different from a True Pill, containing a Qi Blood richness comparable to a hundred demon crystals.

Even with Qin An's steadfastness, he couldn't help but be tempted.

But he was well aware, with ten Silver Household Generals present, this false pill was perhaps not destined for him.

Upon hearing this, the poison pill master's face twisted ferociously, clenching his fist fiercely: "Since that's the case, then none of you shall live!"

He was already driven to a dead end.

Years of painstaking effort ruined in an instant, better to perish together than lose it all!

Behind him, the false pill suddenly surged.

Strands of pure Qi Blood Power rapidly channeled into the poison pill master's body through tendril-like channels.

In just an instant, the poison pill master's entire aura soared, the pressure of the Outer Elixir Realm sweeping over the mountain peak.

All ten Silver Household Generals' expressions changed.

Before Qin An and the others arrived, they had already attacked the poison pill master in unison, but it had no effect.

Not only that, but they also suffered some injuries.

Now, with the poison pill master's renewed action, it naturally aroused everyone's vigilance.

Zhou Yuanfeng's palms struck out like lightning, entwined with Wind and Thunder Power, aiming straight for the poison pill master's head.

Terror-inducing True Qi enveloped Zhou Yuanfeng's palms; this move had already utilized a secret technique.

"Bronze Household Generals, hear the order! Seal all directions!"

Against the poison pill master, Silver Household Generals naturally took action.

As for the other Bronze Household Generals and Household Officers, they only needed to defend the surroundings firmly.

The remaining nine Silver Household Generals, seeing this, also employed their secret techniques.

Ten masters of the Outer Elixir Realm acted in unison, their powers weaving together into a net, their terrifying presence sweeping the entire mountain peak.

The poison pill master swung the long spear in his hand, sweeping across the attacks of the ten Silver Household Generals.

Behind him, the false pill suddenly expanded, then contracted violently.

"Boom!"

Their attacks collided, the massive residual force lifting the surrounding trees into the sky.

Many Bronze Household Generals retreated repeatedly, caution appearing in their eyes.

Qin An's body was enveloped by Gang Qi, standing unshaken amidst the violent aftershocks.

Not only that, but his eyes burned with battle intent.

"This is the strength of the Outer Elixir Realm!" Qin An clenched his fists: "The Pulse Condensation Realm can't compare, if I could use a Supreme True Elixir to achieve the Outer Elixir Realm, apart from Zhou Yuanfeng, the other Silver Household Generals would be no match for me in a single round!"

At this moment, after assessing both sides' strength, Qin An longed even more for the Outer Elixir Realm.

He was now already invincible in the Pulse Condensation Realm, just waiting to step into the Outer Pill, he would be equivalent to a Silver Household General, establishing a foothold in Xunyang Prefecture.

Even with enemies like Jiao Long Hall and Carefree Mountain, he could reduce the danger significantly.

As he thought this, the residual force dissipated.

On the battlefield, many Silver Household Generals' faces appeared pale.

Having used secret techniques in the battle against the Outer Pill demon creature earlier, they were somewhat drained by employing them again.

Even Zhou Yuanfeng, who had forged an Outer Pill with a Supreme True Elixir, showed a trace of fatigue in his eyes.

On the other hand, the poison pill master's half body was a mess of flesh and blood.

But he seemed indifferent.

In the throbbing of the false pill, pure True Qi was delivered.

Not only did it fully heal the poison pill master's injuries, but also completely replenished his expended True Qi.

The poison pill master clenched his spear, laughing wildly as he swung it: "I have a false pill on me, plus I'm already in the Outer Elixir Realm, it's like having two Outer Pills, and the false pill is akin to a Supreme True Elixir."

"How can you defeat me?"

"If the false pill absorbs the flesh and blood of you Outer Elixir Realm beings, it might achieve Great Success in an instant!"

The rest of the Silver Household Generals were all pale, except Zhou Yuanfeng whose face remained calm.

Zhou Yuanfeng suddenly sneered: "If I sever the connection between you and the false pill, what then?"

At these words, the arrogance on the poison pill master's face suddenly stiffened.

Zhou Yuanfeng stepped forward slowly: "A false pill will always be a false pill, everyone, cut off the tendrils above it!"

The false pill's tendrils behind the poison pill master suddenly retracted, as if startled by Zhou Yuanfeng's words.

A hint of excitement showed in the eyes of the many Silver Prefecture Generals upon hearing the words.

They have all gone through countless bloodshed and storms to attain their current prowess and status.

At this moment, they naturally understood Zhou Yuanfeng's words fully.

The Silver Prefecture Generals simultaneously acted, once again resorting to Secret Techniques at any cost.

This time, ten secret techniques were unleashed, targeting not the Poison Pill Master, but the pseudo-pill tendrils behind him.

These tendrils were the link between the pseudo-pill and the Poison Pill Master; merely cutting the connection would leave him as just an ordinary Outer Elixir Realm cultivator.

A flicker of panic appeared in the Poison Pill Master's eyes.

This was the pseudo-pill's only weakness, and the most fatal one.

Now there was no time to think longer.

The Poison Pill Master wielded a long spear, swiftly intercepting the attack, hastily blocking, colliding with the Silver Prefecture Generals' Secret Techniques.

"Boom!"

A terrifying thunderous sound reverberated again, its might sweeping the dark clouds, shooting directly up into the sky like a tornado.

The Poison Pill Master stopped the Silver Prefecture Generals' attack.

Yet a silhouette flashed by, causing the Poison Pill Master to panic completely.

It was Zhou Yuanfeng whose figure flickered, taking advantage of the lingering force of mutual attacks, already reached the pseudo-pill tendrils.

His palms embodied with terrifying True Qi, with a palm wind like blades, irresistibly pressing upon the pseudo-pill tendrils.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous sound rang out.

Under Zhou Yuanfeng's palms, the pseudo-pill tendrils broke all at once, even the pseudo-pill showed inch-long cracks.

The Poison Pill Master was severely impacted, spurting a blood arrow from his mouth, madness flashed in his eyes.

"Everything I did was for Xunyang Prefecture!"

The Poison Pill Master roared hysterically: "If the pseudo-pill succeeded, every person in Xunyang Prefecture could achieve Supreme True Elixir, it would be the fortune of Xunyang Prefecture!"

"You bunch of blade-wielding fools, not recognizing the true dragon!"

"In that case, let's die together!"

As his words ended, the pseudo-pill suddenly trembled violently.

Zhou Yuanfeng's face slightly changed, his form retreated several tens of feet.

The terrifying Qi Blood Power surrounding the pseudo-pill was rising at a visible rate.

This was a sign of an impending explosion.

The pseudo-pill was akin to a Supreme True Elixir, if allowed to explode, half of this mountain would likely be leveled.

A Silver Prefecture General holding twin hooks swiftly approached, the hooks glimmered Icy Cold: "Kill quickly!"

The other Silver Prefecture Generals again unleashed their Secret Techniques, pushing to the limit, collectively attacking the Poison Pill Master.

The Poison Pill Master, already severely wounded, couldn't withstand such attacks, his form showed inch-long cracks.

Yet the madness in his eyes surged higher, the Qi Blood of the pseudo-pill had already reached its limit.

Though Zhou Yuanfeng wished to kill him, if the pseudo-pill exploded, not to mention of others, the Copper Prefecture Generals and Household Officer behind him may not survive.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanfeng shouted: "Everyone, fall back!"

The Silver Prefecture Generals along with many Copper Prefecture Generals and Household Officers heard this, quickly withdrew from the mountain peak, watching the pseudo-pill's rising Qi Blood Power.

But just at this moment, the Poison Pill Master suddenly gathered his aura, raised the long spear with the pseudo-pill, and after several maneuvers, swiftly found a mountain path and flew down.

This scene happened too suddenly, by the time Zhou Yuanfeng and others reacted, the Poison Pill Master's figure had vanished without a trace.

Zhou Yuanfeng's face turned solemn as water, a chilling intent of killing flashed in his eyes: "Fell into a trap!"

He, being the Supreme True Elixir person, merely needed a moment of thought to realize he had been tricked.

The Poison Pill Master wasn't risking his life; instead, he was putting on an act.

After duping everyone with the scene of mutual destruction, he sought an opportunity to escape.

Evidently, even Zhou Yuanfeng was fooled.

With a heavy expression, Zhou Yuanfeng waved his hand: "Chase!"

By now an excellent opportunity had been squandered, even chasing up would likely be futile.

Yet regardless, it's never wrong to try.

But at this moment, Yang Qing's startled cry suddenly rang out.

"Qin An, where are you?"

Zhou Yuanfeng was slightly stunned.

The Silver Prefecture Generals all turned their gazes over.

Then, they noticed beside Yang Qing it was empty, Qin An's figure had disappeared.

Zhou Yuanfeng frowned slightly, scanned around, but didn't find Qin An's figure.

Right then, a Copper Prefecture General throat rolled, uttering words that left everyone present stunned.

"It seemed like, at the first moment, he pursued the Poison Pill Master."

"Moreover, before the Poison Pill Master was about to explode, he said something."

Zhou Yuanfeng asked: "What words?"

The Copper Prefecture General came back to his senses, his gaze complex as he said: "He said... suicide takes immense courage, those who cling to life dreading death, how could truly be a mutual destruction."

Zhou Yuanfeng's pupils contracted slightly.

He suddenly felt that this young man, valued by the two junior fellows, seemed to have qualities besides just prowess.

"Mr. Zhou!" The Silver Prefecture General with twin hooks solemnly said: "Your Copper Prefecture General is ultimately just in the Pulse Condensation Realm, quickly pursue the Poison Pill Master's traces, or else he'll be in danger."

Zhou Yuanfeng returned to his senses, waved his hand with force: "Chase!"

Numerous Copper Prefecture Generals immediately drew their weapons, and collectively pursued the Poison Pill Master's position.

Some Silver Prefecture Generals caught the tone, and spotted a rare anxiousness in Zhou Yuanfeng's usually indifferent speech.

...

On the rugged mountain path, the mountain wind whistled like a knife.

The Poison Pill Master carried the pseudo-pill, fast-paced along the mountain path.

Fresh blood spewed from his mouth; he was heavily wounded.

Moreover, with the pseudo-pill connection severed, it was unable to recover quickly.

"Luckily, my acting was superb."

The Poison Pill Master looking at the desolate mountain path behind, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Wait, once I restore the pseudo-pill to peak I'll ally with beasts, and kill all of the Evil Extermination Bureau!"

At this point, the hatred in the Poison Pill Master's heart had reached the limit.

He only wished first to escape alive, then later to exact revenge for today.

At this moment, abruptness surged.

A terrifying Qi Blood Power accompanied by the wind came suddenly attacking from his back!
