The old man's tone was devoid of any vitality, his eyes resembling those of a corpse as they flickered. He seemed to feel that capturing Guan Yue would be too easy, lacking any challenge.
With a smile, he said, "Kid, I'll give you a chance. You can use your invisibility technique and try to escape again; I’m sure I can catch you. However, if I catch you again, you must promise to teach my descendants everything you know, including the Invisibility Technique and the Magic Supreme Technique. Do you have the guts for that?"
"Ancestor, he still has the Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence on him; we must make him hand them over, or he will swallow them," three disciples from the Gong Family who had broken through to the Heaven Realm finally arrived, panting. Their first words were a reminder to the Ancestor of the Gong Family about obtaining the Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence.
Gong Bufan's eyes widened in shock. "What have you done? You look like a pig, covered in treasures. What should I say? It seems I need to reconsider my decision not to kill you."
Gong Bufan employed a strategy of tightening and loosening his grip on Guan Yue, attempting to completely dismantle his defenses. But who was Guan Yue? He was an expert at manipulation in the Yongning Continent; how could he not see through Gong Bufan's intentions?
With a bitter smile, he replied, "Senior, my Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence are stored here by someone else; they will come to retrieve them. They are definitely not mine. I will not give them to your Gong Family."
"Is that so? What you say doesn't count; it’s what our Ancestor says that matters. Besides, everything on you now belongs to our Gong Family. Only our Gong Family has the right to decide your fate; it's that simple," one of the Gong Family's Heaven Realm disciples shouted angrily at Guan Yue.
"You little brat, daring to kill three outstanding talents from our Gong Family—you can't possibly offset our losses with your death alone. You must die," another disciple from the Heaven Realm scolded Guan Yue fiercely.
Guan Yue felt even more frustrated at this moment. Facing an expert from the Mysterious Heaven Realm was already disheartening enough; now three disciples from the Heaven Realm had arrived—fierce and eager for revenge for their fallen comrades. They all wanted to put him to death immediately!
Did he really have to agree to this old man's demands? It seemed he would have to use his Sky Peak Tower, but once exposed, it wouldn’t just be ten forces issuing wanted notices against him; how would he navigate the Dragon Python Celestial Domain afterward?
Fight? He was no match for them. Not fighting meant becoming a puppet of the Gong Family.
The old man chuckled again and said, "Did you hear that? My descendants from the Gong Family all want your life. First, you shouldn’t have come here to steal; second, you shouldn’t have killed anyone in our Gong Family—especially three people. So strictly speaking, you should die three times to compensate for those lives."
Gong Bufan knew that Guan Yue had some hidden cards up his sleeve. He was curious about what those might be; after hundreds of years without encountering anything interesting, he didn’t want it to end like this. He wanted Guan Yue to escape and unleash his full potential so he could witness just how far this kid had come to warrant a joint bounty from two major factions and the Ocean Harmony Empire. Gong Bufan's curiosity was indeed piqued.
He intended to show Guan Yue that he was determined to kill him but would give him a chance to see if he could evade capture. This was his last opportunity; he needed to seize it well.
Guan Yue could ignore what the other three Heaven Realm disciples said but took this particular Gong Bufan very seriously and answered every question.
So he replied, "I’m nothing special; I can only die once." Suddenly, Guan Yue remembered the Phoenix! This creature could bring him back from death; perhaps it could save him when it mattered most. Moreover, he also had the Child of the Earth, which could ensure his soul did not perish.
With this thought in mind, Guan Yue gained some confidence and continued speaking more smoothly: "Senior, I admit that coming to your Gong Residence and killing people is indeed wrong. I will offer some compensation—though it may not be much, it is my sincerity."
"Compensation? That’s three lives; can you compensate for that?" Gong Bufan said disdainfully.
Guan Yue waved his hand, and a small jade vial appeared in his palm, filled with Celestial Wine. He wanted to test the other person's reaction. After all, he still didn't know the market value of this Spirit Void Liquid in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain; only these old acquaintances could help him determine that, as they were well-informed.
Sure enough, Gong Bufan's eyes focused intensely, as if trying to see through the jade vial.
Then, his expression relaxed, and his eyes drooped again as he slowly said, "Good stuff, indeed good stuff, but it's a bit lacking. If you could give me a liter, we could settle the grudge from three lives."
Guan Yue did not speak; instead, he waved his hands again, and another jade vial appeared. He shook it lightly to let the sound from within resonate. This time, Gong Bufan nodded at the nearby Disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm and said, "Go fetch it. Let this kid off this time; we'll find him again next time."
Gong Bufan then turned to Guan Yue and said, "Kid, you're off the hook this time. If we meet again, fifty pounds of Spirit Void Liquid won't be enough to resolve things. Kid, take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Bufan and the three Disciples of the Breaking Heaven Realm vanished immediately.
At that moment, everyone in the restaurant was looking at Guan Yue. This seemingly ordinary kid had just faced three Disciples of the Breaking Heaven Realm and an Expert from the Mysterious Heaven Realm. Despite their overwhelming intimidation, he managed to hold his ground and ultimately made four frustrated powerhouses leave contentedly. This composure was enough to leave everyone in awe!
Moreover, they speculated that this kid was definitely not an ordinary person; otherwise, why would so many powerful figures seek him out? So they all kept their distance from Guan Yue, and even the waiter treated him with great respect, fearing to offend him. This surprised Guan Yue greatly.
Guan Yue confidently enjoyed a hearty meal. Then he set off toward his residence. After walking a few steps, he felt something was off. If that old ghost from the Gong Family was in his room when he returned, would that count as "next time"? Since he had left the restaurant, if he considered it "next time" and they came to threaten him again, what could he do?
Right, he couldn't go back.
He decided to temporarily stay at Sky Peak Tower.
But what if Yellow Robe Sage came looking for him while he was at Sky Peak Tower? He urgently needed Eternal Snow Tree Leaf to refine a spirit medicine that would help him break through to the Breaking Heaven Realm; this matter could not be delayed!
Thanks to Gao Yuxin's strong support, Guan Yue's alchemy skills had significantly improved. Although he couldn't compare to Gao Yuxin's miraculous alchemy level, he was still better than most alchemists.
This wasn't just Guan Yue's self-assessment; it was also acknowledged by Gao Yuxin herself. Anything recognized after Gao Yuxin's rigorous testing would undoubtedly be accurate.
Of course, Guan Yue still carried several commonly used pills personally refined by Gao Yuxin. Unfortunately, Gao Yuxin didn't know about these specific pills; otherwise, she would have helped Guan Yue refine them herself and spared him the trouble.
It was regrettable that Gao Yuxin was not by his side now.
After much contemplation, Guan Yue chose a bustling area and purchased a residence, spending nearly all of his Golden Red Sand. Inside, he established his Ninth-Dimensional Space and arranged his Composite Domain along with a powerful Illusory Array.
This formation was currently the strongest array Guan Yue had set up and possessed a soul of its own; it was a Divine-Level Mystic Formation.
Guan Yue did not intend to use this formation to block attacks from Xuantian Realm Cultivators but hoped to create a slight delay so that he could leave this place and enter Sky Peak Tower safely.
Now, I have to face two elders from the Mysterious Heaven Realm: one is Gong Bufan, whom I want to avoid at all costs, and the other is the Yellow Robe Sage, whom I eagerly anticipate. These two elders leave me feeling restless and caught in a dilemma, making it impossible to hide or confront them. I'm stuck in a difficult position.
I can only remain here, confined to my own space, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Robe Sage.
Jin Xi found herself in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain in a daze. Although there was a somewhat oppressive feeling here, it was nowhere near as terrifying as what the Western Celestial Law Ancestor had described. This was because everything arranged by the Heavenly Court was aimed solely at Human Cultivators; only they posed the greatest threat to the Heavenly Court. The Savage Beast Heavenly Court was not controlled in the same way, as it needed to harness the power of Beasts to counteract the absolute strengthening of Human Cultivators.
As a hybrid of human and Beast, Jin Xi felt somewhat better. She landed in a forest, which gave her a sense of surprise as if she had returned home.
After living in the forest for a while, she unexpectedly broke through to the Breaking Heaven Realm!
This truly took her by surprise. Although she had always felt that her Origin Energy was very abundant on Yongning Continent and even felt inflated after breaking through to Beast, it couldn't compare to this terrifying breakthrough.
Jin Xi secretly rejoiced, knowing she must be the first among everyone who came up with her to break through to the Breaking Heaven Realm. Ha ha, Lat's Hand, when you see me again, it will be time for me to give you a good beating!
Now that I can fly, I should head directly to the Waydao Empire. Arriving there early will also allow me to showcase my uniqueness!
Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Gao Yuxin, Wuma Xiangwei, Na Dong, Na Xi, Sen Yirou—just wait and see! In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, I, Jin Xi, will take first place! Ha ha.
Filled with excitement, Jin Xi flew desperately toward the Waydao Empire. She was impatient and had great stamina, so she kept flying without any unnecessary stops.
On this day, she didn't know where she had flown to when she suddenly felt hungry. She descended and looked for a restaurant to eat.
