Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

As the five-colored lightning struck, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire Myriad Swords Pavilion.

The air inside the Wanjian Pavilion's main hall suddenly froze, and the purple-gold alchemy furnace emitted a humming sound as metal and stone collided.

The furnace lid trembled and lifted a crack, from which five-colored clouds rose, casting a flickering light on Rean's fingers, which were covered in medicinal ash.

He swallowed the metallic taste of blood as his Adam's apple bobbed. His back, already soaked with cold sweat, had formed two dark streaks on his spine.

Suddenly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the roof tiles. The indigo sky twisted into an inverted vortex, and a muffled thud, like bones dislocating, came from the depths of the clouds.

As the first bolt of azure lightning struck, Rean grabbed a glass lamp from the table and smashed it against the furnace. The shattered jade fragments melted into liquid in the lightning, but the lightning was abruptly cut off three feet away from the furnace.

Gong Yangyan, who was about to make a move, was stunned. Everyone around him was also shocked. Li En had actually blocked the five-colored pill lightning of an eighth-grade pill by himself!

This is a terrifying pill lightning that only a Dou Zun-level expert can withstand!

As the second bolt of lightning struck, Rean's aura began to surge wildly. At the same time, he continuously slammed runes into the ground, forming a powerful array to resist the lightning.

Clearly, Rean had no intention of using Gong Yangyan's power to resist the Dan Lei. He said he would repay the kindness of Wan Jian Ge with an eighth-grade pill, and he would never rely on Gong Yangyan's strength.

As the second bolt of lightning struck, a dark golden light erupted from Rean's body, and a terrifying aura spread across him. He actually withstood the attack of the second bolt of lightning.

Soon, the third Dan Lei began to form. About an incense stick later, the five-colored lightning finally gathered into the shape of a dragon and pressed down from the sky. Rean roared and slammed the last three Soul-Suppressing Nails into the ground.

The protective array of the cauldron unfurled its tortoise-shell pattern, and the gale-force winds generated when it collided with the thunder dragon overturned the entire brick wall. He huddled in the shadow of the alchemy furnace, watching the beads of blood he had vomited float in mid-air, scorched by the thunder and fire into tiny red crystals.

As the dark clouds of calamity faded to a pale white, the bronze furnace finally dimmed.

A pill radiating vitality spun in his palm, seemingly wanting to escape at any moment, its interior shimmering with a star-like aura.

The eighth-grade elixir, the Netherworld Spirit Pill, was once again refined by Rean.

"Pavilion Master, this is an eighth-grade pill. From now on, we are even." Li En's face was slightly pale, and his aura seemed extremely weak.

He instantly shot the pill in his hand into Gong Yangyan's hand, then turned and walked out of the hall without looking back.

"Wait!" Gong Yangyan shouted, instantly blocking Li En's path. At the same time, all the pavilion masters and elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion surrounded Li En.

Only Gong Li and Han Yao, still looking dazed, stood there, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What, does your esteemed establishment intend to forcibly detain me?" Rean's expression turned cold as he surveyed the surrounding crowd, his voice exceptionally indifferent.

“Amu.” At this moment, Gong Yangyan looked at Li En with a complicated expression, his voice very gentle, “I have watched you grow up since you were a child, how could I really expel you? You are the heir I have chosen, and that has never changed.”

Gong Yangyan spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and the elders and pavilion masters around him also tried to persuade him to stay, some of whom were elders who had personally taught Li En.

Seeing the gentle and loving scene around them, Li En sneered inwardly. However, he knew that now was not the time to completely turn against the Myriad Swords Pavilion. If he were to forcibly withdraw from the Myriad Swords Pavilion at this moment, Gong Yangyan would probably kill him to eliminate a major future enemy.

"Sect Master, esteemed elders," Li En looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh, "I grew up in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion since I was a child. In my heart, this is my home. But now that some people can't tolerate me, why should I stay and invite further humiliation?"

As he spoke, he made another move to leave.

However, Gong Yangyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that his tone was not as resolute as before.

Gong Yangyan shouted, "Who dares to kick you out? This Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is not for others to decide. I'm not dead yet!"

His words were clearly directed at Gong Li and Han Yao, which made them both turn pale. Han Yao didn't dare to linger and quickly left after saying goodbye.

Although he was a member of the Danta, and Gong Yangyan and the others wouldn't do anything to him, he was helpless if Li En wanted to humiliate him.

You have to understand that the talent and strength that Rean has shown at this moment have completely overwhelmed him. If the Pill Tower learns about Rean's strength and talent, it will probably be unable to resist recruiting Rean as a core disciple. At that time, his days in the Pill Tower will be difficult.

Han Yao left without anyone trying to stop him, and Li En didn't say much at the moment. This person came from Danta, and he couldn't do anything to him for the time being, but soon he would let him know the consequences of provoking him.

At this moment, Gong Li was in utter despair. She was the daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Gong Yangyan clearly valued Li En very much. Although she had joined the Pill Tower, she would never go against her father's wishes unless she severed her father-daughter relationship.

At this moment, in order to keep Li En, Gong Yangyan naturally scolded Gong Li and strictly ordered her not to leave Wanjian Pavilion or return to Dan Tower for a short period of time. She was to stay by Li En's side and ease the tension between the couple.

In the end, Rean reluctantly stayed, directly taking on the role of the Vice Pavilion Master and becoming the Sword Master of the Sword Pool.

Without a doubt, Gong Yangyan truly regarded Li En as his future successor. Although Li En had not yet broken through to the Dou Zong level, the fact that he could withstand the pill lightning of an eighth-grade pill was enough to prove that his current strength was already very powerful.

As for his alchemy talent, it's likely that there's no one on the entire continent more outstanding than him. If the Pill Tower gets the news, they'll probably try every means to poach him.

Making Rean the successor to the Pavilion Master and giving him power second only to the Pavilion Master is the only way to keep him. We almost drove Rean away before, so if we want to prevent him from harboring resentment, we can only appeal to his emotions and lure him with benefits.

At night, at Li En and Gong Li's residence, which was another manor, it would be extremely easy for them to acquire several manors from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, given their status.

Even though Gong Li was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to follow Li En back to this place. Otherwise, her father might really slap her to death. She knew that in her father's eyes, the foundation of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was above all else.

"What, do you hate me?" Li En smiled at Gong Li, whose face was cold and aloof, his eyes mocking.

"I should be the one who hates you. You know best how you treat me and how I treat you. Now you dare to show up in front of me with a lover. I haven't killed you with one sword, which is already being merciful to you, isn't it?"

Gong Li glared at Li En, but said nothing, because she had no way to refute him.

"From now on, you'll obediently become my slave. If you want to go back to your lover, I won't hesitate to go to the Dan Tower and chop you both up." (End of Chapter)
