Chapter 1558 - Uphold Justice
With the Emperor Refinement Cauldron gone, a massive abyss opened in the underground world, and residual flames still burned along its edges. After the experts from the Skyward Gate withdrew, they slipped into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
Zhen Yiming stepped up beside Liu Wuxie and assumed the posture of a loyal guard. After about a minute, Su Ling and the others returned, but this time they didn't bother concealing themselves.
After all, someone had already exposed Liu Wuxie's identity, so they no longer needed to hide. Liu Wuxie removed his mask, revealing his true appearance.
"He's really Liu Wuxie!" Many people in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain weren't unfamiliar with the name.
Countless cultivators stared in bafflement. "What is he doing in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain? Shouldn't he be in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain? What business does he have here in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain?" people wondered.
"It must be due to the Soul Pills. After all, counterfeit Soul Pills have appeared in recent months, and that has forced the Heavenly Dao Society's pills off the market," the crowd murmured among themselves, and some even began to gather their strength to act against Liu Wuxie quietly.
However, the moment the upper echelons of the Skyward Gate had appeared, those thoughts were snuffed. Although the Skyward Gate had declined, it still stood as a first-tier sect with immortals behind it. That was why no one dared to provoke them even in their weakened state.
As long as the Soul Pills secured the market smoothly, the Skyward Gate could swiftly return to its past glory. The alchemists who had escaped began gathering behind Liu Wuxie at Li San's call.
News of the underground world events spread through Kaya City like wildfire, yet the identity of the mastermind behind the counterfeit Soul Pills remained a mystery.
Liu Wuxie asked, sweeping his gaze across the crowd, "I believe everyone must be curious about what I am doing in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain?" Even as he spoke, more cultivators joined the crowd, and the swelling presence made the surrounding space feel as if it would collapse.
Cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm, the Heaven Gaze Realm, and the Void Realm all packed the sky as well.
A cultivator at the Heaven Gaze Realm finally demanded, "Liu Wuxie, stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. What's going on here?"
