Chapter 0005: Ruthless Slaughter

... ...

If it were an ordinary Star Realm Tier 3, consuming so many Qi Gathering Pills in one go would have already burst the body.

However, even with the surname Yun, it will never change one fact: he will never be a member of the Yun family.

Although Yun Qingyan spoke casually, it struck the old steward like a bolt from the blue. Apart from himself, no one else knew about this matter.

Yun Yue, whose birth name is Chen Yue, is a relative of the Grand Elder's wife. However, having grown up in the Yun family since childhood, he adopted the surname Yun.

However, the section regarding Yun Qingyan's alchemy has been omitted

Yan Di, the reason I did not tell you about that matter is also for your own good! After a few seconds of silence, Yun Xuan sighed and said, his eyes filled with sorrow, but also with a deep-seated hatred.

After the elixir entered his body, Yun Qingyan began to meditate and regulate his breathing in the room

However, Yan Di, are you really going to duel with Yun Yangqing in four days?" Yun Xuan's face showed concern again

You are seeking death

The reason Yun Qingyan said it was still not enough is that the old steward did not do his utmost to stop Yun Yue. If the old steward had desperately tried to block Yun Yue just now, it would have been sufficient to delay him for a few minutes, until the gathering qi pill was fully completed

After fifteen Qi Gathering Pills entered the abdomen, they were automatically decomposed at an extremely fast speed, with the rich medicinal effects flowing smoothly into the spiritual sea.

The Yun family has its own rules; among those with the surname Yun, even in the face of severe internal conflicts, they will unite as one when facing external challenges

Certainly, with Yun Qingyan's capabilities, he is most likely disdainful of utilizing the power of his family

Suddenly, a chilling aura of killing intent surged from the depths of his heart

The old steward finished speaking and then turned to leave

Three minutes later

The visitor did not notice that Yun Qingyan's expression had already darkened, and continued to speak to himself: "I have come to find you this time to verify your strength and see if you are qualified to spar with Brother Yang Qing. However, let me make it clear in advance, if you cannot withstand three moves from me, then your duel with Brother Yang Qing will be automatically forfeited"

"Brother is here!" Yun Qingyan's gaze suddenly turned towards the outside of the courtyard, and a few seconds later, Yun Xuan appeared, running hurriedly.

Elder, this is how the matter has unfolded. Young Master Yan also asked me to convey a message to you: if you wish to provoke trouble, then send someone of a more respectable caliber.

Each one is vividly red, exuding a faint, refreshing fragrance that is captivating; it is hard to imagine that it could be a highly toxic substance

By becoming the heir of the Yun family, Yun Qingyan would be able to utilize the power of the family

This rule is one that even the Grand Elder would not dare to violate

As the name suggests, the Scarlet Poison Pill is a highly toxic elixir

"You... you foolish woman!" After hearing this, the Grand Elder was so enraged that he stomped his feet and slapped the beautiful woman on the face again

The Grand Elder and a beautiful woman both changed their expressions drastically upon seeing Yun Yue's corpse, with the latter immediately bursting into loud tears.

A single red poison pill, when properly diluted, can potentially kill more than 10,000 adults

The Grand Elder maintained a composed expression, yet did not stop the old steward, allowing him to leave his sight.

En! Yun Qingyan turned his gaze towards Yun Xuan, who, unable to meet his eyes, lowered his head.

Of course! Although I have no interest in the position of heir, I have my reasons for having to take it on" Yun Qingyan nodded and said, a trace of barely perceptible killing intent flashing in his eyes

Red Poison Pill

In fact, Yun Qingyan now finds it very difficult to harbor murderous intent towards mortals, much like a giant would not deliberately seek to crush an ant

Yun Qingyan nodded slightly, not even glancing at the corpse on the ground, "Such scum, killing them is no loss. Grandpa Lin, find two servants to take Yun Yue's body to the Grand Elder"

Yan Di, I heard that you killed Yun Yue!" Yun Xuan spoke up, his face showing a hint of anxiety

Young Master Yan ... ... Not far away, just getting up from the ground, with blood still at the corner of his mouth, Yun Yuanlin was stunned, "Young Master Yan, you ... ... you killed Yun Yue?"

He has deduced the cause of death from Yun Yue's injuries. First, he was defeated by a single blow, resulting in a shattered arm bone, and then he was crushed at the heart without any resistance, leading to his death

However, it is merely breathing exercises and meditation, without intentionally digesting the effects of the Qi Gathering Pill.

"Respected Elder, it was Young Master Yan who killed Yun Yue..." The old steward, Yun Yuanlin, did not conceal anything and recounted the incident where Yun Yue had previously sought trouble with Yun Qingyan.

"Yes, Young Master Yan!" the old butler said, taking a deep breath. After three years apart, Yun Qingyan had not only become inscrutable but had also adopted a ruthless approach.

... ...

From the reactions of Yun Xuan and the uncle, as well as the fragmented words of the old steward, Yun Qingyan has roughly deduced that the one who incapacitated Yun Xuan must either possess formidable cultivation, have a deep background, or perhaps both.

... ...

Well, it seems I was overthinking! Yun Xuan turned around and thought that as long as the Grand Elder is not foolish, he would not stand up for Yun Yue

Suddenly, he also threw a punch, colliding with Yun Qingyan's heavy blow.

The effects of fifteen Qi Gathering Pills have all been fully absorbed

The Grand Elder walked over to the corpse of Chao Yun Yue and began to examine the injuries on his body. "There are only two wounds on him, one is a shattered arm bone, and the other is a collapsed chest."

The beautiful woman was stunned by the slap, and it took her a while to regain her composure. She stammered, "Yun Qingyan is about to duel with our son, so... so I sent Yun Yue to test his cultivation level."

What is he even worth, to be qualified to meddle in this matter?

The duel between Yun Qingyan and Yun Yangqing is a private matter of the Yun family; the two are in a life-and-death struggle, and it has nothing to do with Yun Yue at all

The Gathering Qi Pill is extremely precious, with each piece selling for at least 1,000 taels of silver in the market. As the steward of the Yun family, his annual salary is only a little over 200 taels.

Yun Qingyan took out the remaining fifteen Qi Gathering Pills and swallowed them all at once

After landing, there was another loud noise, and the turbulent energy and blood within him caused him to uncontrollably spit out a mouthful of blood

Bang

Moreover, what the old steward has received at this moment is the promise of Yun Qingyan.

Upon returning to the room, Yun Qingyan placed the discarded seventeen pills back into the furnace. Although the Qi Gathering Pills were rendered useless, they could be transformed into another type of pill after being refined again

A loud bang reverberated, shaking the air and generating a wave of shock.

Kill you!" Yun Qingyan's voice was icy

An hour later, the discarded Gathering Qi Pill has been re-refined into the Crimson Poison Pill

"How is that possible? Didn't Yun Qingyan's cultivation fall to the third level of the Star Realm?" The expression on the person's face was one of shock. He possessed the cultivation of the fourth level of the Star Realm, which is why he had come to provoke Yun Qingyan with such confidence.

Brother, you can rest assured!" Yun Qingyan interrupted Yun Xuan and said casually, "As long as the Grand Elder is not foolish, he will not stick his neck out for Yun Yue.

Just in time! The arrival of the person was unexpected yet welcomed. He was about to test Yun Qingyan's strength, and it couldn't be better that Yun Qingyan took the initiative to strike first!

Yun Qingyan moved the alchemy furnace and, with his divine sense sweeping over it, discovered thirty-three Qi Gathering Pills, of which seventeen had turned into waste pills, exceeding half of the total number.

The beautiful woman beside him was shouting, "Yun Qingyan, you despicable beast, daring to kill my nephew, I, Chen Li, swear that you will pay with your life!"

"Is it ... ... for me?" Yun Xuan took a deep breath and said

Bang

Grandfather Lin, if I am not mistaken, you must have suffered a serious injury in your youth, which has resulted in your cultivation being constrained at the third level of the Star Realm for many years

"Yun Qingyan, please... please calm down. My uncle is the Grand Elder. If you kill me, my uncle will not let you go!"

I do not doubt Grandpa Lin's loyalty, but it is still not enough. As long as Grandpa Lin's subsequent performance is good enough, I will not only heal your old wounds but also grant you the strength you have always desired

After a pause, Yun Qingyan said again: "Tell the Grand Elder that if he wishes to provoke trouble, he should bring someone of decent caliber."

As the Grand Elder, he naturally understood the rules of the Yun family. No matter how fierce the internal strife may be, it is still a family matter. However, if outsiders interfere, it would violate the rules

"Yun Qingyan, what do you want to do?" The person immediately became fearful, as Yun Qingyan was slowly approaching him, his face completely cold.

"Come here, lock this foolish woman up. No one is to let her out before Yang Qing returns!" The Grand Elder's face was filled with rage as he ordered someone to confine the beautiful woman.

Yun Qingyan was constantly calculating the time in his mind, with less than twenty seconds remaining until the Dan was completed, yet it was precisely during these last twenty seconds that it was sabotaged

Certainly, loyalty that disregards one's own life is not something everyone can achieve; therefore, Yun Qingyan did not harshly blame the old steward

The reason Uncle Yunhan cannot mobilize the family power to seek revenge for Yunxuan is largely due to the constraints imposed by the four elders

... ...

However, for the Immortal Emperor Yun Qingyan, fifteen Qi Gathering Pills do not even reach one ten-thousandth of the limit of his physical body

Boom

"Yes, Young Master Yan!" the old butler said with great excitement, firmly believing in Yun Qingyan's words

The expression of the Grand Elder suddenly became heavy

This gathering essence pill is received! In the blink of an eye, Yun Qingyan flicked his fingers, and a pill flew into the hands of the old steward

Then let the Grand Elder come at me! Yun Qingyan said, as he stepped on the opponent's chest, crunch, the chest caved in.

Although Yun Qingyan holds the esteemed title of Immortal Emperor, he never shuns the use of poison. In his view, at times, employing poison is more decisive and efficient than direct force.

The Grand Elder suddenly slapped the beautiful woman across the face, "Wretched woman, was it you who sent Yun Yue to find Yun Qingyan?"

"Step aside!" Yun Qingyan waved his hand, having long been accustomed to the old steward's reaction. As an Immortal Emperor, he naturally possessed his own means of controlling others

"Yun Yuanlin, who killed Yun Yue?" The Grand Elder looked at the old steward with a serious expression

In less than half an hour, the old steward delivered Yun Yue's body to the residence of the Grand Elder

The old steward has no idea that, as one of the Immortal Emperors, Yun Qingyan, although not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the other nine Immortal Emperors, is certainly decisive in matters of life and death. When faced with those who deserve to be killed, he will show no mercy whatsoever

Yan Di, you are too impulsive. Although Yun Yue is not a member of our Yun family, he is after all the...

However, if this ant is blind and provokes the giant, it will not only be crushed to death but may also end up completely dismembered

Yun Qingyan's face showed a fierce expression as he unleashed a powerful punch, striking with the force of a battering ram, tearing through the air and producing a hissing sound of agitation.

Now, Yun Qingyan has spoken it out in just a few words

I understand, so I plan to ask you about that matter after I become the heir

Only after the beautiful woman was taken away did the anger on the face of the Grand Elder gradually subside

Place the red poison pill into the prepared small bottle

However, Yun Qingyan is different; with his means, as long as he ascends to the position of heir, he will be able to eliminate all obstacles that hinder him

Ah... a person screamed in agony, and at the moment of impact, a sound of bone cracking echoed from his arm. In the next instant, his body was sent flying.

Yun Qingyan's cultivation level has recovered from the third stage of the Star Realm to the fourth stage of the Star Realm

Thank you very much, Young Master Yan! Feeling the rich medicinal power transmitted from the elixir in his hand, the old steward was so excited that he knelt down.

The seven-day duel between Yun Qingyan and Yun Yangqing has already passed three days
