“Rumors?” Chen Nian sneered, “Yang Xiaotian concocted supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid at the Medicine Hall in Tiandou Imperial City without using a Medicine Cauldron, witnessed by many clan disciples and pharmacists who were present.”

However, Wang Zhou’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Sometimes what people see isn’t necessarily the truth.” Then, turning to Shi Yongping, he added, “If the Grand Hall Master has no further matters, I will take my leave.”

Without waiting for Shi Yongping’s response, he clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Once Wang Zhou had left, Chen Nian said angrily, “Grand Hall Master, Wang Zhou has been growing increasingly arrogant with the backing of the Sky-Stepping Sect. Now, he doesn’t even regard you with respect.”

Shi Yongping watched Wang Zhou’s departing figure with a dark expression.

Ever since Wang Zhou gained support from the Sky-Stepping Sect, his attitude toward Shi Yongping had gradually changed. Shi Yongping knew that Wang Zhou harbored ambitions for his position as the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.

In the past, Wang Zhou didn’t dare to show his intentions openly, but with the Sky-Stepping Sect behind him, his actions became more and more apparent.

Wang Zhou had malicious intentions, and if he were to become the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, the Medicine Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire and all its subordinate Medicine Halls would be doomed.

Yet, thinking of the mighty Sky-Stepping Sect, Shi Yongping sighed inwardly.

In recent years, the power of the Sky-Stepping Sect had been growing stronger, capable of contesting the Divine Dragon Empire. There were even rumors that the Sky-Stepping Sect intended to annihilate the Imperial Family of the Divine Dragon Empire and take its place.

Returning from the Grand Hall to his own courtyard, Wang Zhou was met by his disciple Wu You.

“Master, what did the Grand Hall Master want with you?” Wu You asked cautiously.

Wang Zhou sneered, “Just an old man on his deathbed fussing over that Yang Xiaotian.”

The thought of Shi Yongping reprimanding him in front of Chen Nian made Wang Zhou even more displeased.

Yang Xiaotian? Wu You hesitated, “Should we call Fang Heng back then?”

Wu You thought, now that Shi Yongping was aware of Yang Xiaotian, it would be inappropriate for Fang Heng to continue his assassination attempt.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhou replied coldly, “Why call Fang Heng back? Now that that old man Shi knows of Yang Xiaotian’s existence, it’s all the more reason Yang Xiaotian must die.”

He then handed a token to Wu You, “Take my token and inform Zeng Biao to make a trip to Tiandou Imperial City right away. He and Fang Heng are to join forces and kill Yang Xiaotian for me directly; there’s no need to bring Yang Xiaotian back.”

Wu You was stunned, “Kill him directly?”

Zeng Biao, like Fang Heng, was at the peak of Martial Venerable Level Ten.

To think that the Master would send two Martial Venerables at the peak of Level Ten to eliminate Yang Xiaotian?

Wang Zhou nodded, “Go.”

Wu You opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately gave a respectful acknowledgment and withdrew.

Watching Wu You depart, Wang Zhou turned and entered the inner chamber. After a while, he left the courtyard and flew in the direction of the Sky-Stepping Sect.

Another ten days passed.

During these ten days, Yang Xiaotian continued as before, cultivating the thirty-two Supreme Divine Powers of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure in the courtyard and visiting the Sword Tower to comprehend the Sword Wall.

After ten days, he had reached the eighth level of the Sword Tower.

However, after condensing four Sword Hearts, he was still unable to condense the fifth.

One day, as Yang Xiaotian was cultivating one of the Long Clan’s Supreme Divine Skills in the courtyard, suddenly, an astonishing presence descended upon Tiandou Imperial City.

The sheer strength of this presence sent a shiver through the numerous powerhouses of the Imperial City.

“Is this an Emperor Realm? A Great Emperor powerhouse?”

As the powerhouses of Tiandou Imperial City speculated in fear, a tall figure appeared above the city.

“It’s the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Fang Heng!” Some of the powerhouses recognized the large figure in the sky.

The news had no sooner broken than various powerhouses in Tiandou Imperial City were shaken to their core.

Soon after, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Zhong Yun, and others had learned of the arrival of Fang Heng from the Empire Pharmacist Hall.

“It’s Lord Fang Heng! The Empire Pharmacist Hall has actually sent Lord Fang Heng here!” Guo Wei was greatly shaken and laughed loudly, “This time Yang Xiaotian is as good as dead!”

Although Fang Heng was only at the pinnacle of the Martial Venerable tenfold, his reputation was enormous, no less than many Great Emperor powerhouses. The legends about Fang Heng were too numerous to count.

It could be said that Fang Heng was the most legendary Sword Dao genius among the young generation in the Divine Dragon Empire.

He was also the most legendary Pharmacist talent in the Divine Dragon Empire’s world of Pharmacists.

Many geniuses practiced hard all their lives and still struggled to achieve the status of Martial Venerable.

But Fang Heng, having practiced for less than forty years, had already reached the pinnacle of Martial Venerable and was half a step into the Emperor Realm.

Many powerhouses declared that within a year, Fang Heng would step into the Emperor Realm.

An Emperor Realm cultivator in his forties, how stunning, how monstrous.

Because of this, the young talents of the various kingdoms under the Divine Dragon Empire were fanatically devoted to him.

Guo Wei was one of those who admired Fang Heng endlessly.

“Let’s go, we’ll head over to Yang Xiaotian’s residence and see how Lord Fang Heng deals with Yang Xiaotian!” Guo Wei said excitedly. Then, dragging Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong, they rushed to Yang Xiaotian’s residence at top speed, for fear of missing a spectacular moment.

He Qingzhe, Tian Meiling, and even Chen Jun stopped their cultivation upon hearing that Fang Heng had arrived and hastened to Yang Xiaotian’s residence as quickly as they could.

Almost instantly, powerhouses from all over Tiandou Imperial City started flocking towards Yang Xiaotian’s residence.

Some came to witness Fang Heng’s captivating elegance; others wanted to see Yang Xiaotian’s downfall.

Fang Heng, seeing the powerhouses from various factions of Tiandou Imperial City converging, paid them no heed and walked straight through the air towards Yang Xiaotian’s residence.

His pace was not fast, stepping through the sky, one step at a time, toward Yang Xiaotian’s residence.

With each step he took, golden ripples echoed through the high skies.

The powerhouses of Tiandou Imperial City were stunned at the sight, knowing full well that although Emperor Realm and Venerable Realm powerhouses could fly, they could not tread across the sky.

Unless they were a Great Emperor.

Yet, Fang Heng had done it.

“Lord Fang Heng truly is the legendary talent of our Divine Dragon Empire!”

“I’ve heard that although Lord Fang Heng is at the peak of Martial Venerable, he can actually fight a Great Emperor powerhouse!”

It’s common knowledge that the difference between a Great Emperor and a Martial Venerable is like heaven and earth. A Great Emperor could easily obliterate a Venerable with one hand, yet Fang Heng could fight a Great Emperor while only being at the level of Martial Venerable—how astonishing!

In the midst of the crowd’s shock and fervent gazes, Fang Heng step by step treaded the skies and arrived above Yang Xiaotian’s courtyard.

Looking down at Yang Xiaotian, who was cultivating in the courtyard below, he said in an undisturbed voice, “Yang Xiaotian, is that right?”

At that moment, Guo Wei, He Qingzhe, Tian Meiling, Chen Jun, everyone had arrived, all holding their breath.

Yang Xiaotian looked up at Fang Heng, standing aloft in the sky, looming above him, and said coldly, “You had better come down now!”

This Fang Heng reminded him of the people from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, such as Jiu Wu and Lan Yi, back in the day.

Back then, Jiu Wu, Lan Yi, and the others also stood aloft, high above, looking down on him.

Hearing Yang Xiaotian’s words, telling Fang Heng to come down, everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard.

Guo Wei exclaimed in anger, “What is this Yang Xiaotian, an ignorant fool, daring to speak to Lord Fang Heng like this.”
