Chapter 1547: Annexation

"Wait here. I'm going to refine the pill," Ye Yuan said indifferently, his hands clasped behind his back.

Everyone's expression tightened, and they looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

Could this kid really have a way to cure Huang Qian?

Impossible. He must be putting on a brave face.

But now, seeing Chen Biao slapped to death, no one dared to move.

Ye Yuan gave Ning Fangrong a meaningful glance, then turned and entered the inner hall.

Ning Fangrong's heart skipped a beat. Could this kid have seen that it was me who made the move?

No way, right?

None of those present could tell, but this kid could?

Still, this kid was really formidable. That punch earlier must have been spatial law!

Truly extraordinary. It's one thing to have heaven-defying alchemy talent, but his martial arts talent is also this terrifying.

What a freak!

Ning Siyu wanted to follow Ye Yuan in, but he flatly refused.

For this refinement, Ye Yuan would use the Xuanhuang Cauldron, so naturally he couldn't let Ning Siyu observe.

"Hmph, who cares to watch! What's so great about it!" Ning Siyu stomped her foot in anger.

...

At the Sun-Moon Gang's headquarters, a middle-aged man slowly emerged from the secret chamber.

Seeing this middle-aged man, He Xiao's face lit up with ecstasy.

"Congratulations, Big Brother, for breaking through the shackles and becoming a Divine Lord powerhouse!" He Xiao said, beaming with joy.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Sun-Moon Gang's chief, Xiao Riyue.

After ten years in seclusion, he had finally broken through the shackles today, shattered the calm, and become a revered Divine Lord realm existence.

This was a huge leap, a meteoric rise.

To a Divine Lord, a Return to Void cultivator was no different from an ant.

Xiao Riyue was in high spirits, his entire demeanor worlds apart from before.

"Hehe, Second Brother, you've worked hard all these years!" Xiao Riyue said with a faint smile.

Standing before Xiao Riyue, He Xiao felt immense pressure.

He knew that this Big Brother was no longer the same as before!

"Big Brother, what are you saying? Isn't this all my duty?" He Xiao quickly replied.

Xiao Riyue laughed heartily and said with great ambition, "Second Brother, I know these years haven't been easy for you. But from today on, the South City will be dominated by our Sun-Moon Gang alone! At the very least, we'll stand on equal footing with the three great families! From now on, the Sun-Moon Gang is yours!"

He Xiao was overjoyed inside, but dared not show it on his face. He quickly said, "Big Brother, you flatter me. You will always be the chief of the Sun-Moon Gang. I just help Big Brother manage things."

Xiao Riyue glanced at He Xiao, satisfied with his attitude, and laughed, "Haha, we've been brothers for so many years. Why distinguish between yours and mine?"

As the two were talking, Luo Yu came calling.

Xiao Riyue smiled and said, "Come, let's first swallow up the Silver Feather Gang."

He Xiao smiled slightly and nodded as he followed.

When Luo Yu saw Xiao Riyue, he was shocked beyond words. He hadn't expected Xiao Riyue to really break through!

Among them, half-step Divine Lords often went into seclusion to break through, but fewer than one in ten actually succeeded.

Although Xiao Riyue's chances of breaking through were high, they were still just high hopes.

Breaking through to the Divine Lord realm was too difficult!

Luo Yu hadn't expected Xiao Riyue to actually break through to the Divine Lord realm in one go.

From now on, the South City would change!

"Chief Luo seems quite surprised," Xiao Riyue said, looking at Luo Yu with a half-smile.

Luo Yu's face was very grim. Awkwardly, he said, "Indeed... very surprised! I didn't expect that after all these years of fighting, this would be the outcome."

Luo Yu's mouth tasted bitter. This outcome... was truly bitter.

Xiao Riyue laughed, "After all these years of fighting, it's time for a result! Chief Luo, I wonder what decision you've made now?"

Luo Yu smiled bitterly, "Do I have a choice? If I disagree, I probably won't be able to leave this door today, right?"

Xiao Riyue laughed loudly, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Chief Luo has always been the strategist among us three. I trust you won't do anything foolish."

He Xiao suddenly said, "Brother Luo, your visit to our Sun-Moon Gang—could it be that something has come of the Miaoshou Hall matter?"

He Xiao had been waiting for Xiao Riyue to emerge from seclusion and wasn't very clear about the Miaoshou Hall situation.

Luo Yu's coming at this time was most likely about the Miaoshou Hall.

"Miaoshou Hall? Isn't that a small pharmacy run by the Butcher Dragon Gang?" Xiao Riyue frowned.

He Xiao nodded, "Big Brother, you may not know, but recently there have been considerable changes in the South City. And these changes all revolve around this little Miaoshou Hall!"

He Xiao briefly recounted how the Butcher Dragon Gang had changed its name and how Miaoshou Hall had risen to fame.

Xiao Riyue listened with great interest and chuckled, "Just a mere early Return to Void cultivator, yet he can stir up the South City? Not bad! Our three South City gangs really lack a skilled alchemist."

Luo Yu's expression changed, and he said grimly, "Brother Xiao, this kid just killed my sixth brother!"

Xiao Riyue said indifferently, "You came to find He Xiao to join forces and destroy the Butcher Dragon Gang?"

Luo Yu's face shifted several times before he nodded, "You know Xing Guan's temperament, Brother Xiao. He definitely won't agree to merge into the Sun-Moon Gang. Might as well... just destroy them."

"Hmph!"

Xiao Riyue let out a cold snort, and his world power suddenly erupted, directly sending Luo Yu flying.

"Pfft!"

Luo Yu spat out a mouthful of blood mist, already severely injured.

Such was the might of a Divine Lord powerhouse!

"I don't need you to teach me what to do! From what you've said, I'm quite interested in that kid. If he really doesn't know his place, I'll just destroy him!" Xiao Riyue said coldly.

Luo Yu was deeply shaken. This was the power of a Divine Lord!

This was the power he yearned for!

He couldn't accept it!

Yet circumstances were stronger than him. Faced with Xiao Riyue's absolute power, he could only submit.

"It... it was Luo who was rash! Everything is up to Brother Xiao!" With extreme humiliation, Luo Yu bowed.

...

Everyone stared at the pill in Ye Yuan's hand, marveling.

The fragrance emanating from the pill made them all intoxicated.

None of them recognized the pill, but it was undoubtedly divine-grade.

Ning Siyu didn't recognize it either, but the fluctuations from the pill made her certain that this pill must be extremely difficult to refine.

Even harder than the Lie Feng Tian Shi Dan!

No, the Lie Feng Tian Shi Dan and this pill weren't even on the same level!

When Ye Yuan refined the Lie Feng Tian Shi Dan, his aura was steady, and there was no sign of divine energy depletion.

But now, Ye Yuan's entire aura was disordered, his steps unsteady—clearly a sign of excessive divine energy consumption.

This pill was definitely not simple!

"Ning Siyu, give him the pill and help him refine its power with your divine energy," Ye Yuan said.

"Oh!"

Ning Siyu took the pill, fed it to Huang Qian, and with a push of her palm, began using divine energy to help him refine it.

Soon, a scene that left everyone astonished appeared.
