Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2087: Chapter 1862: Ingratitude (Part 2)

The group was eager, and upon hearing Song Yun’s words, they each found a patch of land, consumed the Elixir Pills, and began cultivating.

Feeling the potency of the Vast Essence Pill, everyone admired and was grateful to Song Yun even more.

Seeing others starting to cultivate, Song Yun sat by the campfire, flipping through the contents in his mind.

Too much was recorded in this book, and the parts he had read so far had already provided him with great assistance.

Hence, he now wished to finish reading the book as quickly as possible.

The knowledge gained might one day save his life.

However, clearly not everything was unlocked, many contents were not detailed, merely skimmed over.

Just like Master Yin Xi’s words, the Chapters will open more with Song Yun’s advancement.

But even so, the contents are not something Song Yun can finish reading in a short time.

This is not a book, this is a massive library.

...

Lu Tiange left the cave angrily, walking towards the outskirts of the mountain.

As Song Yun anticipated, he really returned the way he came.

Alone, with dangers abound in the Himalayas, he indeed didn’t dare to stay long.

As for continuing with the X squad, he abandoned the thought.

For one, he couldn’t swallow his pride;

For another, he feared Song Yun might kill him.

After all, when Song Yun slayed three generations of the Shen Family, the ruthlessness displayed was unlike a merciful person.

"Song Yun, that bastard, caused me to miss out on exploring the Daxia Ruins, I must avenge this."

"And Dongfang Yun, that bitch, someday, I want you to gasp and beg under me."

"Gu Zi, you as well, I will surely make you take my pipe."

"Gu Man, Lin Jun, you helped Song Yun, I won’t spare you either."

"Those three who chimed in, if those three trash can make it out of the Himalayas alive, I will definitely assassinate you."

Lu Tiange didn’t want to spare anyone in the X squad.

Kill the men and possess the women.

This was his only thought at the moment.

Sadly, he could only fantasize, but couldn’t do it.

As Lu Tiange imagined himself crushing Song Yun, a group suddenly ran over from the front.

Upon focusing, he realized it was a group of Westerners.

These people were all wearing black robes, appearing as Church Court members.

The leader wore a red robe, to his surprise, was SSS ranked.

"Dark Holy See, Red Robe Priest!"

Lu Tiange’s heart skipped a beat, instantly realizing these people’s origins.

Seeing the Dark Holy See charging forward, he turned pale and wanted to flee.

But then, he noticed these people had panicked expressions, running swiftly as if being pursued by something.

As the Dark Holy See drew nearer, amid Lu Tiange’s confusion, he finally saw what was chasing behind them.

Ink Scale Pythons.

"It’s actually those things!"

In Lu Tiange’s eyes, the Ink Scale Pythons were more terrifying than the Dark Holy See.

He turned to run, aiming for the lake he had previously hidden by.

But after only a few steps, glancing back at the Dark Holy See group, a sinister plan arose in his mind, and he immediately shouted towards them: "Follow me, I have a way to evade those Ink Scale Pythons."

At this moment, Red Robe Priest Dubian Zhenjian felt very uncomfortable.

He led the Dark Holy See forces to the Himalayas to explore the Daxia Ruins, who knew they’d be chased by snakes.

He didn’t know what those pythons were, but he sensed danger.

The more troublesome part was, those snakes were incredibly fast, impossible to shake off.

Just as Dubian Zhenjian was contemplating whether to throw a couple of subordinates over to attract the Ink Scale Python, the Asian man ahead suddenly shouted.

Dubian Zhenjian hesitated for a moment, thinking that since the person knows the snake is called the Ink Scale Python, he might really have a way to shake off the snake.

"Follow that Asian man."

Dubian Zhenjian ordered, and the Dark Holy See people ran towards Lu Tiange.

"Follow me."

Lu Tiange moved and guided them to the lakeside.

The Dark Holy See people didn’t have underwater breathing masks, so Lu Tiange grabbed some reeds by the lake for them to breathe.

In order to please Dubian Zhenjian, he gave his own mask to Dubian Zhenjian and used the reeds himself.

This time, they stayed hidden much longer.

After about eight hours, the Ink Scale Python finally left.

Returning to the shore, the Dark Holy See people breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did Dubian Zhenjian have the leisure to scrutinize Lu Tiange, asking, "Japanese?"

To build rapport, Lu Tiange shamelessly said, "I’m a Huaxia person, but I admire Japan greatly and wish to become a Japanese citizen."

Dubian Zhenjian smiled contentedly, "I’m a Red-robed Priest of the Dark Holy See, my name is Dubian Zhenjian. Thank you for your help, are you alone?"

Lu Tiange replied resentfully, "I wasn’t alone at first, but my team abandoned me. Those bastards are truly despicable."

Dubian Zhenjian’s eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, "Since you helped me, perhaps I can help you get revenge. Frankly, I don’t mind killing Huaxia people. In my eyes, Huaxia people are worse than beasts."

Lu Tiange didn’t mind the insult to Huaxia by Dubian Zhenjian and flattered, "If you make a move, Lord Dubian, they won’t be able to handle you. But be careful, their captain, Song Yun, has a very powerful broken sword. Of course, if you kill him, you can obtain his treasures. He also has many valuable elixir pills on him."

"Song Yun? Is that him?"

Dubian Zhenjian’s eyes lit up, pressing his watch, a picture appeared on the watch.

Lu Tiange looked down and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, that’s him."

Upon hearing this, Dubian Zhenjian laughed immediately, patting Lu Tiange’s shoulder, "I didn’t expect that we would actually have a common enemy. Let’s go, lead me to their campsite, I want to kill him."

Although Lu Tiange hadn’t figured out the situation, he was overjoyed and immediately led the way, "They’re over here, Lord Dubian, please follow me."

Turning around, a cold glint flashed in Lu Tiange’s eyes, secretly thinking, "Hm hm, Song Yun, with the red-robed priest of the Dark Holy See dealing with you, let’s see if you can survive. I don’t believe your Killing God’s power can be used a second time."

The members of the X-squad were cultivating in the cave, and their cultivation levels had all increased.

Especially Juan Mao, Master Bei, and Little Sword God, who directly advanced from early SS-level to mid SS-level, and all three were very happy.

Elixir pills, these are resources.

With resources, the cultivation speed can be greatly enhanced.

However, elixir pill resources are too precious because the entire Hermit Realm doesn’t have true alchemists.

Even the strongest forces Changshan, Gu Village, and the Lin Family can only concoct very low-level elixir pills.

The members of X-squad were well aware that the Vast Essence Pill given by Song Yun was more potent than any elixir pill they had ever used.

Though they didn’t know, that in Song Yun’s formula, the Vast Essence Pill was the lowest tier.

Unfortunately, Song Yun hadn’t reached the SSS-level state, hadn’t condensed true fire, and could only concoct Vast Essence Pills seen as waste by Master Yin Xi.

But elixirs with too strong effects are not suitable for him now.

Counting, almost everyone had refined the potency of one Vast Essence Pill, with only a little residue left to be slowly digested.

Song Yun also reached the pinnacle of SS-level, almost advancing to SSS-level.

However, he purposely controlled the progression.

In the Himalayas, advancing to SSS-level would attract the native inhabitants, which is unfavorable.

On this day, the X-squad members gathered around the campfire, Dongfang Yun emerged from the depths of the cave, saying, "Gu Zi is about to finish refining the medicinal power, estimated in half a day we can set off."

"No rush," Song Yun said, "Now all the national forces have entered the Himalayas, if we rush ahead, we’ll instead be the target of everyone. Let’s wait until they fight to mutual exhaustion, and we arrive at the Daxia Ruins to avoid losses."

Everyone agreed with his viewpoint, not worrying, waiting for Gu Zi to finish his retreat.

"Hm hm, is this the place!?"

Suddenly, an ice-cold playful laugh came from outside the cave, speaking in English.

The members of X-squad all had grim expressions, gripping their weapons tightly, looking towards Song Yun.

"Let’s go out and see."

Song Yun squinted his eyes slightly, taking the lead to head outside.

Earlier, that voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t immediately recall who it was.
