Chapter 546: Five hundred forty-six Heavenly Breath Pills
"Yun Wei, do you know the consequences of offending my Star-picking Tower?"
Realizing the gravity of the situation before her, Shen Xingmou knew that once again, her efforts were likely to fall short, yet she still did not want to give up and thus invoked the power backing her.
"Ha ha, Shen Xingmou, don’t you know that the Xuan He lineage acts on its own accord, regarding no one in their sight?"
Upon hearing these words, Yun Wei laughed heartily instead of being intimidated, then she added: "Besides, Star-picking Tower has a large family business to consider; you surely know the kind of trouble you’ll invite by offending my Xuan He lineage, don’t you?"
To Yun Xiao and the cultivators of Hidden Dragon Continent, this exchange seemed rather bewildering, but Shen Xingmou’s expression instantly turned ugly, even filled with some regret over her earlier words.
Others might not know the temper of the Old Ancestor Xuan He, but Shen Xingmou, who originated from the same Li Yuan Realm, grew up listening to legends about him and was indoctrinated with knowledge of whom not to provoke within the realm.
The other two major forces amongst the top three were naturally beyond mentioning. Despite having no sect or backing, Old Ancestor Xuan He was considered unapproachable by the top three forces in the Li Yuan Realm, placed at the top of their list of people to avoid.
The main reason was that Old Ancestor Xuan He’s strength was unfathomable, even surpassing the leaders of the three top forces; offending him would only bring immense trouble upon those forces themselves.
Old Ancestor Xuan He, being alone with no family, friends, or sect, didn’t even have a single disciple in the past, and has always been a solitary and unconstrained figure.
Such a person would not trouble you if you did not provoke them, but once offended, they would stir trouble as though a hornet’s nest was poked, giving even the top three forces a major headache.
As the saying goes, a barefoot person is not afraid of one wearing shoes. Just as Yun Wei stated, Star-picking Tower might be extensive in its operations, but the Xuan He lineage only consists of two individuals. It is already extremely difficult to find them, let alone think about killing them.
Considering the broad targets Star-picking Tower has, with the strength of Old Ancestor Xuan He lying in ambush, the Tower’s disciples might end up mysteriously dead during their external ventures.
