Chapter 579 Nanmohe Family
"Who are you?!" He Changyi shouted.
He Changhu, standing beside him, recognized Pei Yun. He shuddered and quickly hid behind He Changyi, whispering, "Brother, she's an elder of the Pill God Palace. She was the one who judged He Changxuan's make-up exam in the square that day..."
"Senior!" He Changxuan and the residents in the courtyard were overjoyed, and the middle-aged man who had secretly delivered the message finally felt relieved.
"Fighting and killing are forbidden in the Divine Realm City, yet you still want to kill people. It seems you don't want to have a good life..." Pei Yun looked at He Changyi and said, word by word.
He Changyi squinted at the person in front of him. He found that he could not see through the other party's cultivation level, but he was not afraid. He was confident that his strength could surpass that of the other party, who was an alchemist. In the cultivation world, the stereotype of alchemists was that they were not strong in combat.
"Fellow Daoist, I am merely cleaning up the house and resolving internal family feuds. I do not wish for outsiders to interfere in this matter. Please leave..."
“He Changxuan is now a disciple of my Pill God Palace, and the Pill God Palace has the right to intervene. Besides, you mentioned family feuds. Apart from He Changxuan, are the other tenants in this courtyard also members of your family? Not only did you fight in the Divine Domain City, but you also harmed innocent people. You should explain this to the elder in charge of the Main God Palace yourself!” Pei Yun retorted without any politeness.
He Changyi's face darkened completely, revealing a sinister and malevolent aura as he stared intently at the other party: "I originally wanted to give you a way out and let you leave on your own, but you insisted on courting death, so don't blame me!"
Before he finished speaking, He Changyi's aura suddenly surged, and his silver whip, as sharp as a snake, lashed out at Pei Yun.
The whip's dart head was a mechanism made of black iron. As the whip was swung, the mechanism was activated, and several poisoned darts hidden within shot out with a "whoosh" towards the eyes of the person opposite...
The silver whip lashed through the air at such speed that only overlapping shadows could be seen, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue as it darted toward Pei Yun. In an instant, the entire courtyard was enveloped in a vast expanse of silver light.
He Changyi thought his surprise attack would force Pei Yun to retreat, but to everyone's surprise, Pei Yun stood still and easily grabbed the whip with a slight lift of his hand, with the two of them each holding one end of the whip.
"Be careful!" He Changxuan saw He Changyi's poisoned dart getting very close to Pei Yun and couldn't help but shout a warning.
The others also looked tense and anxious. He Changhu, who was hiding to the side, had a happy look on his face, but the next moment, he could no longer smile. He saw that the poisoned darts seemed to be controlled by someone, and suddenly changed direction and shot towards him!
"Ahhh!" He Changhu was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, activating the magic robe on his body. Several poisoned darts grazed his neck and landed on the open ground not far away.
All of this happened so fast that He Changyi didn't even have time to react. He stood there dumbfounded, never expecting that his opponent would have the strength to crush him.
Spiritual energy condensed in Pei Yun's palm, and in an instant, it burst forth with tremendous power and poured into the silver whip!
With a "crackling" sound, the silver whip burst open in an instant, breaking into several pieces that fell to the ground. He Changyi felt a sharp pain in his palm and subconsciously dropped his magical weapon.
An eerie silence fell over the scene!
He Changyi glanced down and saw that the magic weapon he had used for many years was now in pieces and completely useless. It was a mid-grade earth-level magic weapon. While he was angry, fear also quietly arose in his heart.
He Changhu trembled with fear and wanted to leave this place immediately and get away from this woman.
However, as soon as He Changyi and He Changhu moved their feet, Pei Yun knew they were trying to escape. She raised one hand and pointed in their direction, and spatial power manifested. Before everyone's eyes, two spatial chains appeared out of thin air, binding the two who were about to escape.
“You’ve been wreaking havoc in God’s Domain City, and now you think you can leave so easily? Do you think that’s possible?” Pei Yun stepped forward and said.
"Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me! I'll never do it again!" He Changhu was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, pleading with Pei Yun with a mournful face.
He Changyi's face was no longer as calm as before, but he still forced himself to remain composed and said in a strong voice, "I am the eldest son of the He family of Nanmo. If you dare to kill me, the He family will not let you get away with it!"
Pei Yun raised an eyebrow: "I won't kill you. The crimes you committed in the Divine Realm City will be judged by the elders of the Main God Temple. Do you think your Nanmohe family has more power than the Dao God Temple?"
He Changyi's face turned pale, and he slumped down.
Pei Yun ignored the two men, took out pills for the injured, and broke the isolation array. Soon after, the guards patrolling the Divine Realm City arrived at the scene.
Pei Yun explained what had happened to the guard leader. After the guards escorted the two men away from the courtyard, Pei Yun treated the injured tenants and He Changxuan one by one.
It wasn't until the next morning that Pei Yun finally had some free time. He sat in He Changxuan's room and said to him, "Your injuries are quite serious. You'll need at least six months to recover. However, I suggest you don't recuperate here. You're already a disciple of the Pill God Hall, so you can stay there..."
"Thank you for saving my life, senior!" He Changxuan, who was lying on the bed, wanted to get up and bow to Pei Yun, but Pei Yun stopped him.
"That person mentioned the Nanmo He family? Are you from Nanmo?" Pei Yun asked curiously.
The Karma Flower and the jade pendant that the Supreme Ancestor gave him were treasures of the Nanmo Li family.
He Changxuan didn't hide his background, and said with a bitter smile, "The He family of Nanmo is one of the hidden aristocratic families in the area. One of the two people who were just taken away is He Changyi, the eldest son of the He family and the future head of the family. He has a twisted personality and likes to control everything. I am an illegitimate son in the family. My mother died early, and I have always been neglected and bullied in the family. But ever since I showed my talent in alchemy and gained attention in the family, this man has been showing me kindness on the surface, but secretly using all sorts of underhanded tricks. I escaped with my life on the line, thinking that I would be free once I was away from the family. I never expected that he would actually track me down here..."
Pei Yun cautioned, "From now on, until your strength surpasses his, you should be cautious. No one died this time, and the people of the Main God Temple won't punish you severely. But once you leave the Pill God Temple and the Divine Realm City, you may encounter danger again..."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I understand. He is the eldest son of his family, and the He family will protect him no matter what. I will not leave the Divine Realm City until I have the power to protect myself."
Pei Yun gave him a few instructions before returning to the Pill God Palace. After thinking for a moment, she went to Wang Xue'er's residence and relayed what Palace Master Lu had told her to Wang Xue'er.
Wang Xue'er lowered her head and thought for a long time, struggling internally for a while before slowly relaxing her clenched fist: "...I am willing to try this method of detoxification."
Pei Yun nodded slightly. She knew that Wang Xue'er had her flaws, but she was very decisive when it came to important matters, even more so than Luo Qi.
"I will come to pick you up in three days."
