Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 49 The Gaze from Wanling Mountain Range

The moment Snake Venerable fell to the ground, lifeless, at the distant peak of Wanling Mountain Range.

Four indistinct figures in black were quietly channeling mana around an array.

"Pu." A person in black vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, spraying it exactly upon the center of the array.

The blood shimmered with a faint golden light, and seeing someone injured, the other three ceased their movements.

"What’s wrong? Third brother?" an older-looking person asked with concern.

The one who had spat out blood glared at the others with eyes bloodshot in fury and said hatefully.

"Little Gold is dead." A gust of wind blew past, flipping up the hood of the person in black, revealing a face full of scales, eyes now a complete blood red.

"Wasn’t Little Gold already at the Martial Venerate strength? With such power in the Human World, as long as one does not provoke those truly fearsome beings, one should be capable of self-defense. Third brother, could you be mistaken?" the person who had spoken earlier continued.

"Eldest brother, it’s not a mistake. I left a trace of my soul imprinted on my most beloved junior, and just now, that soul imprint of mine was severed by someone, and I can no longer feel any trace of Little Gold’s existence," said the one addressed as third brother with venomous hatred.

This speaker in black was the same Golden Snake Patriarch from Snake Venerable’s memories, only it was unknown what he was doing here and why he had taken human form.

"No matter who it is, this vendetta must be avenged, even if it takes me to the ends of the earth." Golden Snake Patriarch said viciously.

In his heart, every member of the Golden Snake Clan was precious, and Little Gold was the disciple he had placed the greatest hopes on.

Little Gold had not disappointed him either; in just a few decades, he had reached the power level of a Martial Venerate.

But now, all of that was shattered, so no matter who killed Little Gold, I must grind your bones to dust and scatter them to the winds.

"Can you still locate where your imprint vanished?" the one called eldest brother asked.

"I can." Third brother suddenly lifted his head, staring intently at the eldest brother as he spoke.

After pondering, the eldest brother said, "Little Gold was also a junior I admired. Whoever dares to touch someone from Wanling Mountain, there’s only one outcome for them. No matter the situation there, we three will activate the Big Formation and project you there. Even if you cannot avenge Little Gold, we must find the one who killed him. It’s been a long time since the Myriad Spirit Death Order was last issued."

"Mhm." Golden Snake Patriarch nodded vigorously, his face filled with fervor; although his soul imprint could only detect Little Gold’s life or death status, it was incapable of identifying the murderer.

However, with the help of the other three, pinpointing the culprit would be all too easy.

Without hesitation, the four figures commenced to form the Array again.

"Spirits Square Formation."

The creatures inhabiting Wanling Mountain Range are the majority of demon beast races from the Mortal World. The mountains, reaching into the clouds, serve as the best barrier, creating a unique realm where countless demon beasts thrive and multiply, with most venturing out to gain experience upon maturity.

It is well-known that ruling over the entire Wanling Mountain are four races: Golden Snake Clan, Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Overlord Giant Bear, and Long-Armed Ancient Ape. Numerous races live under the protection of these four clan leaders within the Wanling Mountain Range.

And Mu Can, without any knowledge, had actually killed Golden Snake Patriarch’s most beloved younger relative from the third-ranked race within Wanling Mountain Range.

But even if Mu Can had known the identity of Snake Venerable, he would still make his move. In a life or death situation, do I need to concern myself with who you are? No matter who, even if it were the Celestial Emperor, I would still cleave you with my blade.

After gathering the full strength of the four elders of Wanling Mountain Range, the aura emanating from Golden Snake Patriarch abruptly transformed.

Above Wanling Mountain, the sky that was clear a moment ago now darkened with dense clouds, as bolts of lightning zigzagged through the gathering gloom.

It seems that the Heavenly Tribulation is about to be induced; it looks like with the enhancement from the other three individuals, the power of the Ancestor of the Golden Snake Clan has become incomparably close to the highest limit allowed by the Human World.

At this moment, all of the Demon Beasts within the Wanling Mountain Range felt a tremendous pressure, the stronger the Demon Beast, the more evident the feeling was, in contrast, those lesser beasts without Spiritual Wisdom felt nothing at all.

"What’s going on with the Ancestor? Why is he so furious?" A golden-furred little monkey scratched his ears and cheeks as he asked.

The overwhelming pressure just now had almost made him fall from the tree, he was now looking at the peak of the Wanling Mountain Range with lingering fear.

"Who knows, maybe some blind fool offended the Ancestors," a black giant bear, as large as four or five little monkeys, said naively as he hugged a huge roast meat.

Xuanyuan Mingkong felt a mysterious connection forming in the dark and quickly stepped forward to shield Mu Can behind him.

Looking into the Void, he asked faintly, "May I ask which friend graces us with their presence, why not show yourself?"

A pair of huge eyes slowly became visible in the air, where just a single eye was already about as big as the entire body of the Snake Venerable before.

The two eyes almost covered the entire sky above Pingyun Mountain.

"Did you kill my descendent?" A deafening voice boomed, the sound resonating between heaven and earth.

Seeing that the colossal eyes ignored him, Xuanyuan Mingkong said unhappily, "Playing tricks, if you’re talking about that little snake, then yes, I killed it."

"Brat, you are doomed to death for daring to kill the Golden Snake kin of Wanling Mountain. You will be eternally pursued by the Myriad Spirit Death Order," the massive eyes did not even regard Xuanyuan Mingkong but stared intently at Mu Can standing behind him, filled with killing intent. On Mu Can, it could feel the resentment of its own clan, under such repression, if it was the Mu Can before consuming the Soul Pill, he would definitely have collapsed.

But now, Mu Can could still stare unblinkingly at the massive eyes.

"He brought it upon himself and deserved death," Mu Can said, meanwhile feeling extremely annoyed, wondering why after killing the lesser one, now comes an elder one.

And judging by its appearance, this elder one is a significant figure. He definitely had to ask Purple Cloud later, why all these old fellows loved to trouble him so much.

Probably even Purple Cloud would feel helpless when asked, it was evident that Mu Can was a troublemaker. freёnovelkiss.com

"Having killed one of my clan, I will make you wish even death was a luxury, Myriad Spirit Death Order." With that said, a strange seal emerged from the colossal eyes and charged towards Mu Can.

Xuanyuan Mingkong wanted to block it but found himself intercepting nothing.

The seal instantly entered Mu Can’s body and disappeared without a trace.

"Do you have any other business? If not, get lost," Mu Can said angrily as he saw the seal enter, exasperatedly cursing.

Why does everyone like to place seals inside his body?

Forget it, the more lice there are, the less they itch, the more debts one has, the less they worry. Since his body already has a Demon Heart Seal, he might as well not care about another Myriad Spirit Seal.

"Get lost," Xuanyuan Mingkong, seeing that he was unable to stop the previous seal, cursed furiously.

The gigantic eyes stared at Mu Can intensely, as if committing him to memory, and then gradually dissipated.

Before fading away, it also took away the corpse of the Snake Venerable from the ground.

As the huge eyes disappeared, Pingyun Mountain Range returned to calm, as if everything had been just a dream.
