Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 588: Chapter 567: Ten-Thousand Mothers Cauldron

Facing the black-robed man standing silently in mid-air, fear flickered in Huang Tianjing’s eyes. He seemed like a child who made a mistake, hurriedly setting Sun Zhe down and bowing in respect to the black-robed man.

The air suddenly became still.

Yao Yuelong lay on the ground, struggling to open his eyes. Upon seeing the black-robed man, his beautiful eyes trembled involuntarily.

"Why is it him?"

In the midst of silence.

The black-robed man’s aura surged, and the black-and-white wings behind him burst into countless stars that disappeared, then he slowly landed, stepping in front of Huang Tianjing.

"S-Senior, I’ve seen you before!"

Huang Tianjing was drenched in cold sweat, not daring to look directly at the black-robed man.

That deep and vast aura, even though he was already a demon, he could still feel the suffocating pressure.

The black-robed man looked down at him, his eyes hidden beneath the hood grew dark, speaking slowly: "You have committed a crime worthy of death, crafting the Human Emperor Pill with such practices. More unforgivably, you’re actually part of the demonic path."

"You misunderstand, Senior... I-I was just..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish, his abdomen suffered an invisible blow, sending his body flying backward along the ground, carving a trench several meters long before stopping.

Yet he dared not hesitate, quickly flipping over to kneel again.

"I know I’ve wronged, please forgive me this time, I promise to reform!"

The black-robed man’s figure flickered, appearing instantly before Huang Tianjing, looking down at him, speaking calmly: "Forgiving is what Buddha does, what I do is send you to see Buddha."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianjing’s eyes shook with realization that there was no turning back, he fiercely drew a short sword from his sleeve, lunging at the black-robed man’s heart.

"If you refuse mercy, then die!"

But the black-robed man merely raised a hand, effortlessly pinching the incoming sword with two fingers.

"Heh... Old fool, even after turning to the demonic path, you’re still this weak, truly a disgrace to the demonic path."

A crisp "crack" sounded.

Huang Tianjing’s short sword snapped in response.

The severed blade tip spun into the air, as if caught by an invisible hand, speeding up as it fell, like a flash of light breaking through space, instantly piercing Huang Tianjing’s brow.

The room fell into dead silence, the sound of a pin could be heard.

It wasn’t until Huang Tianjing’s corpse collapsed with a thud that everyone came back to their senses.

The disciples from the noble families were shaken to their cores, their legs weak.

The strongest in the Northern Country was killed so simply and casually.

Who on earth is this black-robed man!

Qing Kui struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes trembling as he looked at the black-robed man’s back, "This... this is too frightening."

"To kill Huang Tianjing, who had become a demon, but didn’t even move."

"Who exactly is this senior?"

"..."

Liu Bingyue lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling on the black-robed man, deep in thought.

Judging by the black-robed man’s casual defeat of Huang Tianjing, she felt he must be at least on par with the clan leader of the Dragon Capturing Race, perhaps even superior.

As she pondered, the black-robed man turned around and walked over calmly.

"Priest Yao, long time no see."

Yao Yuelong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and looked at the black-robed man with complex emotions.

"It really is you."

The black-robed man nodded, "How have you been?"

Yao Yuelong sighed lightly, saying, "So many years have passed, yet I didn’t expect you to reach such a level. In this life... I’m afraid I can never catch up to you."

The black-robed man didn’t speak, his expression under the brim of the hat remained unknown.

Suddenly, Yao Yuelong asked, "Why did you come here?"

The black-robed man replied, "Previously, I sensed an abnormality in the Spiritual Qi of the Yellow Dragon Secret Realm, so I came to check it out."

"I see."

Yao Yuelong nodded, not surprised anymore.

This place being a Spirit Realm, with abnormal Spiritual Qi, this fellow being the Guardian Spirit Immortal, surely he should come to inspect.

The black-robed man said, "Didn’t expect to encounter such a thing."

Yao Yuelong said, "You came at the right time."

While speaking, she looked over at Sun Zhe, just about to speak, when suddenly her beautiful eyes trembled with anger, "Yueqing, what are you doing?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned sharply to look at the altar, their eyes shaking.

They saw the Little Dragon Girl, having transformed into human form, was carrying the barely conscious Sun Zhe, preparing to throw him into the cauldron.

Leng Yueshuang and Jiang Yunfei tried to stop it but were restrained by some means, unable to move or speak, just watching with wide eyes.

"What am I doing? I’m saving him!"

The Little Dragon Girl casually tossed the unconscious Sun Zhe into the cauldron, appearing neat and tidy, then clapped her hands, standing before the cauldron and looking at the black-robed man, she said, "The pill fire was almost extinguished, it’s all your fault for suddenly barging in and ruining things."

"Uh..."

The black-robed man raised his hand slightly, wanting to speak yet hesitating.

The Little Dragon Girl placed her hands on her hips, snorting, "Xiao Weizi, didn’t expect you to grow up so big, remember the last time you came to Dragon Prison Abyss with Old Man Sun, you were just a little brat, I almost ate you then."

The black-robed man was somewhat vexed, looking at the cauldron and asking, "Senior, are you trying to sacrifice him alive?"

"Indeed." The Little Dragon Girl nodded, stating, "This is your son, so I’m definitely going to sacrifice him alive."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man’s eyes were shaken, "Senior, are you saying... you just threw in my son?"

The Little Dragon Girl shrugged, "Yes indeed."

"It’s Xiao Zhe!" The black-robed man was instantly anxious, hurriedly running up to stop her, "What are you doing? Get him out quickly!"

Unexpectedly, the Little Dragon Girl spread her arms to block him, "Xiao Weizi, calm down, I’m helping him!"

"Do you know what this cauldron is?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wei stopped in his tracks, scrutinizing the cauldron carefully, suddenly his gaze darkened, "Could this be... the legendary Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron?"

"That’s great!"

The Little Dragon Girl snapped her fingers, continuing, "And the liquid inside is formed by countless natural treasures and Blood Essence Qi gathered from over a thousand living sacrifices. If your son absorbs it..."

"Even though that Old Huang caused the deaths of many for crafting the Human Emperor Pill, rendering the cauldron’s liquid sinful, now that it’s here, one mustn’t waste such good stuff."

If Xiao Zhezi were awake, he surely wouldn’t want to absorb it, so I’ve taken on the villain role here."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wei understood the Little Dragon Girl’s intention.

However, he was still somewhat worried, asking, "But in his current state, he shouldn’t be able to withstand it."

"Rest assured, he has my Essence Blood within him."

"I see. Thank you, Senior."

The Little Dragon Girl waved her hand, changing the topic, "Where have you been all these years, neglecting even your son."

Sun Wei looked at the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron before him, full of guilt, "Duty-bound, it’s a long story."

The Little Dragon Girl didn’t inquire further, running to one side to scoop up the soil from the ruins and toss it into the cauldron.

During the previous overturning of the cauldron, some liquid spilled and seeped into the soil. Now by tossing the soil in, it somewhat recoups for the loss.

These treasures, she wouldn’t want to waste a single bit.
