Chapter 152: The Valley Lord Is Here!

Zhou Donghuang was unfazed by Chen Dandan’s threats and maintained his amused gaze at the two old men.

The two Sentinels of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. The valley’s strongest duo, second only to the Valley Lord.

As for the Head Elder Yu Meiqin, Zhou Donghuang was no longer looking at her. He had noticed that she most likely had recognized the sword orb he held in his hand.

“This kid … ”

At this moment the two Sentinels, sensing the contempt in Zhou Donghuang’s eyes, stepped forward with grave facial expressions and murderous looks, as if they were ready to attack.

“My two brothers!”

Yu Meiqin took two steps forward, blocking the way in front of the two old men. She spoke to them in a suppressed voice, “This Zhou Donghuang’s little metal ball looks to be the legendary ‘sword sphere’ that only martial adepts of the middle Primal Core stage and above are able to refine.”

The two old men had not received any message from the Valley Lord and had come only because they heard the flares, so they did not fully know the specifics of what had happened earlier.

However, as they were atop their flying beasts on the way over, they began hearing from several valley elders and disciples surrounding the training grounds regarding the murder of the valley’s Second Elder Chen Tianhe at the hands of the young man.

Of course, what they had heard was that the young man, using a hidden weapon, had snuck up on a defenseless Chen Tianhe, and thus was able to kill him.

They had entered the sky above the training grounds just in time to hear the young man humiliating and insulting words towards the Valley Lord.

And it was at that moment that the anger in their hearts burned rapidly.

Now, seeing the disdain in the young man’s gaze towards them, how could they stomach this?

“Sword sphere?!”

Hearing Yu Meiqin’s warning, the pupils in the duo’s eyes constricted and their facial expressions changed in an instant.

As two of the oldest members of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, they knew what sword spheres were. That was a legendary item, a treasure that only martial adepts of the Primal Core stage and above were able to refine.

A Connate elementary martial adept, armed with a sword sphere, could easily kill a Connate intermediate martial adept.

Even a Connate advanced martial adept, if not properly prepared, would most likely fall to a Connate elementary martial adept who wielded a sword sphere and knew how to use it.

“Does he know how to use the sword sphere?” the rotund old man, the valley’s Left Sentinel Wang Tao, asked in a hushed voice.

“The Second Elder died by the sword that that sword sphere converts to … what do you think?”

Yu Meiqin smiled gravely.

“So, the hidden weapon they mentioned was actually a sword sphere. They mentioned a sneak attack … but if a Connate elementary adept has a sword sphere and knows how to use it, why even bother with a sneak attack to kill a Connate intermediate adept?”

The skinny old man, the valley’s Right Sentinel Yu Wei, had a very heavy look on his face.

At this point, the duo had absolutely no more inclination to make a move on the young man.

Are you kidding me!

This young man not only had a sword sphere but knew how to use it as well. Were they to attack they would definitely end up dead.

Unless they were able to raise their level to the Connate advanced level, and under careful circumstances, even if their opponent had a sword sphere and knew how to use it, they might be able to defeat him and perhaps even kill him!

“What? You two are familiar with this sword sphere as well?” Seeing the duo’s eyes directed at the sword sphere with looks of trepidation, Zhou Donghuang stared at them and asked, feigning surprise.

“Looks like you definitely received the essence of the Primal Core adept. Otherwise, you would not possess this sword sphere, which only martial adepts of the Primal Core stage and above can refine,” Yu Meiqin stated.

This was not the first or even the second time Zhou Donghuang had been mistaken for having received the essence of a Primal Core adept, so, hearing Yu Meiqin’s words, brushed them off and did not even think to explain.

Of course.

This person in front of him was not even worthy of Zhou Donghuang opening his mouth to explain.

“Little Sister Yu, why is the Valley Lord not here yet?” the Left Sentinel Wang Tao inquired of Yu Meiqin.

“I’m not sure … ordinarily speaking, the Valley Lord should have been here by now.”

Yu Meiqin shook her head, and with a sharp flash in her eye said, “I will leave to look for the Valley Lord. My two brothers, please keep an eye on this Zhou Donghuang.”

“If possible, try not to engage with him. The sword sphere in his hands is too disturbing.”

As Yu Meiqin spoke, she saw Wang Tao and Yu Wei nod. Only then did she produce a leaf from her bosom and blow on it.

As the sound rang out, Yu Meiqin’s flying beast mount swooped down from the sky, collected Yu Meiqin and departed the training grounds, heading directly for the residence of Valley Lord Su Mo.

On the way, Yu Meiqin came across a valley elder riding a flying beast and coming from the direction of Su Mo’s residence.

“Elder Yuan, you’ve been to see the Valley Lord?”

“Head Elder.”

Elder Yuan, upon seeing Yu Meiqin, greeted the Head Elder respectfully and said with a wry smile, “I went to see the Valley Lord but did not get a response. He must have been too immersed in his training.”

“I figured you and the two Sentinels should be able to take care of the issue facing our valley, so I did not want to disturb the Valley Lord further.”

Hearing Elder Yuan’s words, Yu Meiqin managed a bitter smile, “Neither I nor the two Sentinels are a match for him.”

Under Elder Yuan’s startled look, Yu Meiqin departed on her flying beast and soon came to land at the residence of Su Mo, the Valley Lord of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“That young man … who is he?”

After Yu Meiqin left, Elder Yuan’s eyes were filled with bewilderment, “Even the Head Elder and the two Sentinels aren’t able to take him on?”

The training grounds.

With Yu Meiqin’s departure, some of those within the training grounds began to discuss this “sword sphere” that the young man spoke of.

Only very few elders in the Valley of the Medicine Masters had ever heard of sword spheres.

However, it wasn’t long before the information about the sword sphere and what it represented spread through the entire training grounds so that all elders in the training grounds now knew what it was.

“Sword sphere, a weapon that only martial adepts in the Primal Core stage and above can refine?”

“If a Connate martial adept were to understand how to utilize a sword sphere, using that sword sphere they could easily kill their opponent? That means this Zhou Donghuang, using the sword sphere, would be enough for him to easily kill the Head Elder and the two Sentinels?”

“No wonder the Second Elder who was at the Connate intermediate level was killed by him in one blow. That sword sphere in his hand really was a treasure left by a Primal Core adept and has unbelievable power!”

…

An uproar was happening on the training grounds.

At the same time, the elders and disciples on the training grounds realized that their Head Elder leaving most likely meant she was heading to see the Valley Lord.

Judging by current circumstances, if the Valley Lord didn’t show, there would be no one to take on the young man in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

Moreover, if the Valley Lord were to let his guard down, and if the young man were to use his full strength in sneak attacking with the sword sphere, it would be very likely that he would be able to kill the Valley Lord.

However, they all knew now that the young man had a sword sphere, so the Valley Lord would definitely not be careless.

Just the thought of this calmed their hearts.

“Sword sphere?”

At this point, Chen Dandan understood how her father Chen Tianhe had died, and she also understood why the Head Elder and the two Sentinels were reluctant to make a move on Zhou Donghuang.

It was all because of that “sword sphere” in Zhou Donghuang’s hands.

“Dammit!”

“What right does he have receiving the essence left by a Primal Core adept and stepping into the Connate-stage in only two short years … and he even got his hands on a treasure like the sword sphere!”

At this moment, Chen Dandan’s heart was filled with regret.

Of course, it wasn’t regret about betraying her mother-in-law Lin Lan, but regret that she hadn’t stayed at the Magnolia Guild longer until she had managed to take away the Primal Core adept essence and sword sphere that Zhou Donghuang had received.

“If everything the Primal Core adept left behind had been received by me, Zhou Donghuang’s accomplishments would now be my accomplishments. And I might have gotten farther and become more skilled than this piece of trash!”

Chen Dandan’s was filled with so much regret that her intestines were turning green.

“However, Zhou Donghuang is a fool. He knows that the Head Elder has gone to look for the Valley Lord but he still hasn’t left. Once the Valley Lord is here we’ll see how he plans to escape!”

Now while Chen Dandan was thinking just how idiotic the young man was in not knowing to get out of there before the Lord of the Valley of the Medicine Masters arrived, she was also partly hoping he wouldn’t leave, so that the Valley Lord could fight him once he got there.

“The Valley Lord is a Connate advanced-level martial adept. As long as the Valley Lord is prepared, even if Zhou Donghuang has a sword sphere he will be no match for the Valley Lord!”

Even though Chen Dandan had yet to lay eyes on the Valley Lord, it did not affect her faith one bit in this almighty Valley Lord who held the supreme position in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“Zhou Donghuang, there is still the Valley Lord who can dispose of you … You don’t have what it takes to make me, Chen Dandan, regret betraying that b*tch Lin Lan!”

Chen Dandan’s stared icily at Zhou Donghuang, “You destroyed my life, murdered my father. Today you will die at the hands of our Valley Lord. Another day I will definitely have my father’s brothers murder that b*tch Lin Lan as well as anyone connected to her!”

“Only then will my hatred be appeased!”

Of course, Chen Dandan dared not to speak these words at the moment, but could only express her hatred in her mind, as she feared that an enraged Zhou Donghuang might attack and annihilate her.

After all, of those currently on the training grounds, no one would be able to defeat Zhou Donghuang.

“This Zhou Donghuang is still sticking around?”

“Is he insane? If I were him, knowing that the Valley Lord is on his way here, I would have gotten as far away as I could by now.”

“He must know that there is no way he can escape so he’s planning on negotiating with the Valley Lord.”

“I agree he must be waiting to negotiate with the Valley Lord. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t leave, there is no reason for him to just be standing around like that. He could use that sword sphere in his hand and start killing left and right, just to see how many people he could slaughter before the Valley Lord gets here.”

“Shhh … be quiet! If he hears your reminder and starts to attack us, then you’ll be sorry!”

…

Just then several disciples started to whisper amongst themselves …

“The Valley Lord is here!”

In the sky above the training grounds, an elder standing atop a flying beast looked towards the middle-aged man soaring towards them on a large flying beast. His eyes lit up and he yelled excitedly with all his might.

The shout was so loud that it even covered the sound of whispers across the training grounds.
