Chapter 587: Second City Lord

ll of them later.The dragon body was very tough, so Shen Xiang had to use the Heaven Forge technique and harvest the divine energy around him. He transformed it into a strong flame and rapidly burned...Chapter 587: The Second Town Lord

Just three days had passed, and Shen Xiang had completely absorbed and refined those energies into highly concentrated qi essence, compressing them within the True Essence Granules in his dantian. This increased the total count by four thousand, now totaling eighty-four thousand granules of true essence. He was still compressing a large amount of qi essence, needing only another four thousand granules to break through and gain the power bestowed by martial arts!

He left the forest, then rushed towards Sacred Pill City. He needed to seize time and find the suppression demon bloodline as soon as possible, then return to the Mortal Martial World. Even in this Sacred Pill Realm, danger would be everywhere, and as long as there were powerful forces existing, he would eventually clash with them due to having control over ample spirit medicine resources.

In Sacred Pill City, Shen Xiang entered and immediately felt a sense of heaviness on everyone's faces. They knew that a spatial rift appeared not far from the city, and many demon cultivators and monsters came through it. This made them somewhat worried.

However, Shen Xiang wasn't concerned at all. With the presence of immortals in this world, that spatial rift would be quickly sealed soon anyway. Even if not sealed, those demon cultivators and monsters wouldn't become powerful.

Shen Xiang explored Sacred Pill City for the whole day, gathering various details about this Sacred Pill Realm, such as the distribution of forces and significant events.

The owner of Sacred Pill City, Du Yan Yao, was from the Du family. The Du family was a large clan that spread across eighteen layers of Sacred Pill Realm, and Du Yan Yao ruled this Sacred Pill City, making it the largest city within Sacred Pill Realm.

"Little brat, you're being targeted!" Long Xue Yi reminded him.

"My strength isn't strong yet!" Shen Xiang noticed the跟蹤 people only recently. He was slightly aware that there were eight people following him, all at a hundred refiner realms or above. These people looked ordinary, but their qi essence was very dense and pure. Only by cultivating high-grade martial arts or consuming pills for a long time could they reach this level of qi essence.

"Could it be because I offended that female town lord last time" Shen Xiang thought to himself. He continued strolling the streets, while those following him gradually walked over.

Soon, Shen Xiang was surrounded by those eight people.

"We are the Town Lord's Mansion. The Second Town Lord has an order to take you there," said a big man coldly.

There were three town lords in Sacred Pill City, the First Town Lord being Du Yan Yao from the Du family. The Second and Third Town Lords were also from the Du family, but they didn't have any Du blood. They were people carefully cultivated by the Du family who trusted them deeply and had decent strength.

"Don't touch me. Let's go!" Shen Xiang said with a deep voice, his tone carrying coldness that made the person grabbing his arm tremble. He looked at Shen Xiang with some fear.

Shen Xiang was surrounded by those eight people in the middle, walking towards Town Lord's Mansion.

The Second Town Lord was male and grew up in the Du family. Shen Xiang heard rumors that this Second Town Lord and Third Town Lord both wanted to get Du Yan Yao, but they lacked strength and status compared to Du Yan Yao. So, it was clear that nothing would come of their attempts.

The town lord's mansion was huge, with strict guards. There was a large array protecting it. Shen Xiang stood outside the luxurious mansion, where a handsome man dressed in fine clothing was playing with three pearls. He slowly walked out from inside, then several people hurriedly brought him a luxurious chair and let him sit down.

The man was the Second Town Lord, Gong Sen Liang. He was proud and had a small chest, using harsh手段 to become extremely cunning. Being able to make it this far in the Du family's large force required him to have certain methods. Now that he was heavily trusted by the Du family and became the Second Town Lord of Sacred Pill City, his nature was naturally revealed as he wasn't restrained by being within the Du family.

"Quickly show respect when you see Second Town Lord!" a big man yelled, kicking Shen Xiang's knee. However, Shen Xiang didn't budge and stood stable there despite the kick being powerful enough to smash a stone. He seemed completely unaffected.

Shen Xiang stared at Gong Sen Liang, saying coldly, "What do you need me for If there's nothing else, don't waste my time!"

Gong Sen Liang frowned, showing anger on his face. He saw a big man break out and shout, "Blasphemy! The Second Town Lord has summoned you, considering it your honor. Not only do you not show respect, but you also disrespect Second Town Lord! You're asking for death!"

As he spoke, the big man slapped his palm towards Shen Xiang.

"Too slow!" Shen Xiang said with a cold smile, his palm moving like lightning as thunderous power surged forth. He struck the big man's wrist, causing a burst of flames and the big man to scream in pain. Smoke appeared on his hand as an earthy smell drifted through the courtyard.

After Shen Xiang's palm crippled that big man, a mass of intense flames enveloped his feet, shooting out burning heat as he swiftly kicked upwards. He struck the big man's chin by kicking up from below, causing a loud cracking sound as that big man was sent flying outwards, falling to the ground and crying in pain.

“Hmph!” Shen Xiang grunted angrily.

"You're acting beyond your rights. Charge and capture this son of a bitch!" A big man was about to charge.

"Wait!" Gong Sen Liang finally spoke, his voice lazy. Even though Shen Xiang's actions surprised him, he wasn't afraid of Shen Xiang.

Gong Sen Liang lazily stood up, crossing his arms and walking towards Shen Xiang proudly. He said in a slightly cold voice, "I've been the Second Town Lord for thirty years and never before have I seen someone dare to attack me so fiercely!"

"Those who don't respect my life, I usually don't fear their lives,"

Gong Sen Liang's voice suddenly became extremely hateful, his body emitting a killing aura. His fingers spread wide and curled forcefully as he grabbed like an eagle catching a rabbit, sending intense qi essence through the air towards Shen Xiang's head.

Shen Xiang was prepared, shouting loudly. A clear dragon roar echoed throughout the air, instantly hitting Gong Sen Liang's palm with a bolt of lightning-filled qi essence mixed with an angry thunder. A fierce lightning blast erupted, causing extreme lightning to blow through Gong Sen Liang's hair and clothes.

Shen Xiang only used his strongest Blue Dragon True Qi and shouted out the Blue Dragon Roar, but just that single roar not only neutralized Gong Sen Liang's malicious attack but also caught him off guard.

“Second Town Lord!”

The several big men around saw this and shouted, all rushing over while pulling out their sharp knives. They then wildly swung them at Shen Xiang, each stroke full of intense qi essence, wanting to grind him into meat.hat he very much disliked him."There's no need for Mr. Zhao to worry about that!" Shen Xiang also didn't want to have any conflicts with Zhao Kunyun, so he hurriedly left the shop."Shen Xiang, do you...
