Chapter 2405 - 2406: The Heavenly Maiden Empress
Chapter 2405: Chapter 2406: The Heavenly Maiden Empress
"Heav... Heavenly Empress Xuantian!" Someone murmured almost like a moan, their voice trembling from excessive excitement.
The whole crowd erupted into a violent commotion.
The reason was simple.
The name Heavenly Empress Xuantian represented so much.
She was the real power behind the entire Pharmacists’ Alliance!
Even Cha Wenliang in the inn couldn’t help but gasp at the sight, speaking with awe.
"It’s actually her! But hasn’t she already retired? Why is she suddenly appearing here?"
"Master, who is this woman?" Ao Shu asked curiously.
Cha Wenliang smiled bitterly, "You could understand her as the one who single-handedly created the Pharmacists’ Alliance!"
"Wow, doesn’t that make her more powerful than you, Master?"
Cha Wenliang paused for a moment, then nodded, "To be exact, I am completely not on the same level as her. Whether in contributions to the Pharmacists’ Alliance or in medical expertise, I can only look up to her!"
For the proud Cha Wenliang to say such words showed the stature of this Heavenly Empress Xuantian in people’s minds.
At least Lian Yuting, who was standing at a distance, took several steps back, moving further away from the already stunned Su Feijing upon witnessing this scene.
Although the Su Family is formidable, the Shen Family is a timeless aristocratic house, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Now, the Heavenly Empress Xuantian stood in their midst; if she wanted to act, no one could escape.
To be safe, he naturally chose a more prudent posture.
At the same time, remnants of Sword Spirit clones in the sky suddenly spiraled and headed straight toward Shen Gaoge under Xue An’s command.
Xue An snorted coldly, "What? You think I’m an easy target?"
With that, the sword in Xue An’s hand slashed down without hesitation.
With a puff, Shen Gaoge’s head flew high.
"No!" The Sword Spirit screamed in anguish.
Because as the Guardian Sword Spirit of Shen Gaoge, its main body being killed would lead to severe damage.
Indeed.
As Shen Gaoge’s head flew up, the remaining Sword Spirit clones instantly turned into dust, leaving only a broken sword barely remaining, fleeing to the distant sky in the nick of time.
Xue An did not pursue, although he knew this surviving Sword Spirit likely carried Shen Gaoge’s soul, he chose not to eradicate them completely.
Instead, letting them return to report would be of greatest value.
Because Xue An wanted to use this event to express his stance to the Shen Family.
Negotiations are possible, but if you want to play hard, sorry, I, Xue An, don’t adhere to that.
Surely the Shen Family will be quite "surprised" upon receiving this news.
Shen Gaoge was gone, Su Feijing was stunned.
Only at this moment did he awaken from his shock, followed by immense fear.
Because only now did he realize that he was utterly alone.
Lian Yuting, who was once trailing behind him, was long gone.
As for others, they stood at a distance, watching him with very peculiar expressions.
After all, many witnessed firsthand Su Feijing trailing behind Shen Gaoge, flattering him.
Now that the main player was dead, only this tag-along was left.
This made his situation exceedingly awkward.
Su Feijing naturally was well aware of this.
At this moment, he was pervaded by terror, his only hope being that Xue An hadn’t noticed him.
Unfortunately, his hope was soon crushed.
Seeing Xue An in the sky flash before appearing in front of him, then lowering his head to give a slight smile.
"Young Master Su, long time no see!"
Boom!
Su Feijing felt his head exploding in shock.
At this point, his stiff face could only force out a smile worse than a cry.
"Long time no see!"
Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly, "Anything else you’d like to say?"
Su Feijing shook all over, naturally understanding the implication of Xue An’s words, his eyes pleading intensely.
"This incident wasn’t instigated by me, so can I be spared?"
Xue An laughed, "Finished speaking?"
In truth, when Xue An’s face broke into a smile, Su Feijing already sensed things weren’t looking good.
His reaction wasn’t slow either.
You could see him turn decisively, fleeing toward the thick crowd.
His thought was simple.
No matter how much Xue An wants to kill him, he wouldn’t disregard the lives of others, right?
As long as he could mingle into the crowd, he figured Xue An would hesitate, giving him a slim chance of survival.
Unfortunately, while the thought was beautiful, reality was ruthless.
After merely three steps, a barely noticeable sword ray pierced through his throat, leaving a trail of blood.
Compared to Shen Gaoge, his death was swift and clean, without any drag.
Indeed, even as Su Feijing’s body fell heavily to the ground, many remained in disbelief.
Was this truly the illustrious young master of the Su Family?
Why did he seem so vulnerable, like a chicken before this youth dressed in white?
This scene made Lian Yuting hiding in the crowd have his eyelids twitch violently, then deeply bow his head.
It was laughable that he once imagined competing with this youth, truly reckless.
Luckily, he’d read the signs quickly! Lian Yuting secretly rejoiced.
Forgetting the thoughts of the crowd, Xue An, after slaying Su Feijing with a single stroke, turned and returned to the sky.
Standing not far before him was the Heavenly Empress Xuantian who just assisted him.
"All done?" The one who first spoke was surprisingly the Heavenly Empress Xuantian.
Xue An nodded.
"Good, come with me, I have some things to ask you!"
With that, the Heavenly Empress Xuantian turned and flew into the distance.
Xue An was about to follow when An Yan anxiously stepped forward.
"Honey!"
Xue An paused, turned back to give her a slight smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!"
Originally wanting to say more, An Yan took a deep breath seeing Xue An’s calm demeanor, then nodded.
"Okay! I’ll wait for you!"
Xue An departed.
The remaining crowd stood dumbfounded.
"Did it end just like that?" Someone murmured in astonishment.
"Yeah! It ended just like that!" Someone sighed.
"Even the Shen Family lost. It seems a great storm is coming in Sky Beyond the Skies!" Someone predicted.
Others said nothing, simply staring at the direction Xue An and the Heavenly Empress Xuantian left, eyes flickering, pondering.
At the same moment, Xue Anye had entered the Medicinal Workshop following the Heavenly Empress Xuantian.
