Eternal Sacred King

It was as the crowd had said, the Scarlet Vulture guards were clearly biased and chose to be oblivious towards everything that was happening.

Some of the cultivators from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop were furious and were about to step forth to argue when they were held back by the sharp gaze of the yellow-dressed woman and retreated helplessly.

The majority of disciples from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop were indignant but none of them dared to speak against the authority of the yellow-dressed woman.

Su Xiaoning turned back instinctively and saw the cold face of the yellow-dressed woman.

At this moment, the two factions that should have stood out chose to remain silent.

In the middle of the crowd, Su Xiaoning appeared lonely and helpless – she was at a loss.

“Done!”

Right then, He Xing shouted softly.

First, Ji Yaoxue had yet to return to the capital.

This was normal. There was more than a month left before the sect competition and most sects had yet to move.

Second, there must be a feud between Yang Yu and Ji Yaoxue. Furthermore, Yang Yu did not know of Ji Yaoxue’s true identity.

If Yang Yu knew of Ji Yaoxue’s true identity and dared to be so brazen, it would only mean that this woman was an idiot.

Back when the two of them first met, Ji Yaoxue hid her surname and identity.

That was indeed her style of doing things.

Third, Yang Yu was most likely targeting Xiaoning because of Ji Yaoxue.

In Yang Yu’s eyes, Xiaoning was on good terms with Ji Yaoxue and was an enemy, hence the reason why she kept making things difficult for Xiaoning.

Su Xiaoning pursed her red lips with tears that brimmed in her eyes but refused to fall.

Slowly, she took out an Elixir Furnace from her storage bag.

It was a small furnace and seemed a little old. Extremely worn out, it was covered in mottled bronze.

There was nothing special about that Elixir Furnace just by looking at it simply.

However, at that moment, fresh blood dripped onto the bronze furnace from Su Xiaoning’s previously injured arm.

The moment it made contact with Su Xiaoning’s blood, the Elixir Furnace illuminated with a dazzling glow that made everyone gasp in shock!

Right after, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Elixir Furnace.

This time, even a fool could tell that the Elixir Furnace was definitely a treasure!

He Xing’s eyes lit up as greed flashed past his eyes and he licked his lips.

Back then, he could vaguely tell that the Elixir Furnace resembled something that was described in an ancient book in True Fire Sect. That was why he pestered Su Xiaoning multiple times to try and buy it.

This was also because they were in the capital. If they were outside, He Xing would have killed her and stole the treasure!

Now, it was clear that the Elixir Furnace was indeed not ordinary and could highly likely be that item described in the ancient book!

The thought of it being described in the ancient book caused He Xing’s heart to burn with passion – he was even more determined to get his hands on the Elixir Furnace no matter what!

Yang Yu looked at the Elixir Furnace in Su Xiaoning’s hands and froze for a moment as astonishment flickered in her eyes.

She had obviously not expected that Elixir Furnace to be a treasure!

For a brief moment, a trace of regret flashed past Yang Yu’s eyes.

If she had not allowed Su Xiaoning to hand that Elixir Furnace over, given her authority in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop, she would most likely be able to claim that Elixir Furnace for herself!

Under countless greedy gazes, Su Xiaoning felt as if she would be torn apart at any moment. She was frightened and helpless while her limbs went cold.

For some reason, a figure suddenly flashed across Su Xiaoning’s mind.

That figure was dressed in green robes. While he was not tall, bulky nor stalwart, he could shelter her from wind and rain.

At that moment, Su Xiaoning seemed to have heard a gentle voice, “Xiaoning, don’t be afraid.”
