C2430 Third Party

Not to mention the people from Medicine Valley, even Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran's faces were filled with astonishment. Although they had already guessed that the person who killed Gui Yang was definitely not a small fry, they didn't expect him to be this powerful.

Especially at this moment, the two of them had already viewed each other as the main culprits in killing Gui Yang. This discovery made them even more afraid of each other's existence. They had no choice but to consider the consequences. If the other party was the culprit who killed Gui Yang, then how terrifying would his strength be and how would they deal with him?

Bang! While everyone was still in shock, the earth fire suppressed by the cauldron suddenly became noisy once again. Endless amounts of fire elemental energy suddenly spread outwards. The moment the pure heat exploded, it caused the people around the cauldron to continuously retreat. It made them feel as if all the water in their bodies had evaporated.

Could it be that Dingshan erupted again? Looking at this scene, everyone's heart tensed up. They stared closely at the earthfire that was rising. If anything went wrong, they would quickly retreat.

Fortunately, the sound of the earthfire did not last long before it gradually calmed down. Although the intensity of the fire had been reduced, the release of the earthfire had not decreased in the slightest. The violent heat continued to continuously leak out, causing people to feel as if they were in a cave of fire.

Under this tense situation, no one realized that at the moment when the fire started, there was a strange aura that suddenly separated from the raging flames. Using an imperceptible speed, it submerged into the figure that Lin Bai projected onto the ground.

"The earth fire has been released and the fire essence has dissipated. Could it be that the fate of our Medicine God Valley is coming to an end?" Although the cauldron was suppressing the fire, there was still an endless amount of heat emitted from the fire eye. Chu Tan's face was gloomy and his brows were knit into a frown.

What did the Pill King Valley rely on to start their life, what did they rely on to have this kind of foundation, what they relied on was the elixirs and the unique terrain of the Pill King Valley that could breed elixirs. The crux of everything lay in this one glance.

Because of the existence of the earth fire, they could draw in the earth fire and use it to refine pills. The purity of the earth fire could remove the impurities within the spirit medicine and make the refined pills even more refined. And because of the appearance of the earth fire's aura, it could spread the earth energy into the Medicine Valley and provide the spirit medicine planted in the valley with enough spirit energy for them to grow.

The Earth Fire was created by good fortune in the world, so naturally it would leak out, and it would repeat itself. This was also the reason why the predecessors of the Medicine God Valley used a cauldron to suppress and suppress the fire eye, as a way to adjust the Earth Fire. Because of the cauldron's suppression, the earthfire within the flame was able to be released according to the manmade arrangement, maximizing the effectiveness of the earthfire.

The most important thing was that this adjustment could allow the Earth Fire to extend its lifespan to the maximum. As long as the Earth Fire existed for a day, the luck of the Medicine God Valley would be able to exist for a day, and it would not cause the spirit energy of the valley to dissipate.

But now that he had planted the sandalwood, it was obvious that the cauldron was no longer able to suppress the fire eye. Although the release of the Earth Flame was small, in the future, this crack would be torn open by an unlimited number of times. When that time comes, the release of the Earth Fire would not be controlled by any other means. Once the Earth Fire was completely vented out, it would be the end of the Medicine Valley.

To Liu Tan, the change in the situation with the Earth Fire was even more important to the Medicine Valley than Gui Yang's death. Since the valley master was dead, he could choose another one. However, once the earth fire was over, it would be difficult to find another one in the world.

With this kind of situation, he couldn't help but suspect that the Pill King Valley had run out of steam. It was because the heavens had decided to destroy the Pill King Valley, otherwise, why would they let the Pill King Valley meet with such a calamity?

It wasn't only Sang Tan alone who discovered this fact. Quang Chang Geng and Du Ruo, as well as Elder Xin Yi, and even Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran had discovered this situation, it would greatly affect the Medicine God Valley.

But no matter how anxious Zang Tan, Quang Chang Geng, and Du Ruoruo were, they could not find any way to change this situation. They could only watch as the earth fire continued to dissipate, hoping that it would dissipate even more slowly, so as to give Pill King Valley enough time to figure out a way to deal with it.

"Xin Yi, send out more people as soon as possible to transplant the spirit medicine on the cauldron into another place. Then, send out more capable people to search the world and see if there are any existences like the Medicine King Valley …" After thinking for a while, Zang Tan knew that with this kind of situation, he couldn't hide anything from Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran, so he didn't hide anything and directly explained it to Xin Yi.

When Xin Yi heard this, he bitterly smiled and agreed. However, in his heart, he did not have the slightest confidence with regards to these plans that Liu Tan had set up. Pill King Valley's topography was special and rarely seen. It was unknown how much effort the predecessors had put into finding such an existence, in order to find another existence similar to it in the world, it was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, even if the Medicine Valley could find a similar place by luck and move their entire clan over, ignoring the unforeseen losses during the process, who could guarantee that they could control the Earth Fire Eye just like how they did before?

"Grand Elder, I've found one. There are two teacups on the tea table in front of the cauldron, and both of them contain remnants of the Lotus Heart Tea …" But at this moment, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he spoke with a deep voice.

As the sound of his voice faded, everyone's gazes immediately focused on the tea table in front of the cauldron. Everything was exactly as Quang ChangGeng said. On the tea table, there were two teacups that were transparent like white jade and within the teacups, there was even a remnant of the green tea soup. Whether it was the color or the smell, it was exactly the same as the Lotus Heart Tea.

This discovery made everyone's heart turn cold. If two cups of tea appeared on the tea table, that wouldn't mean anything. However, both cups had Lotus Heart Tea, which would be a huge problem.

This meant that before Guiyang died, he had met someone in his cave. And from the looks of Guiyang's death, it seemed as if someone had suddenly acted and put him to death.

At this moment, everything seemed to have become clear. If there was a second person besides Guiyang in the cave, then the person who had the greatest suspicion towards Guiyang would naturally be the second person.

Furthermore, even if it wasn't Gui Yang who was murdered by the second person, that person definitely knew some secrets and might have even witnessed the murder.

But what made people curious was that aside from Guiyang, who was the second person that had appeared in this cave? Thinking to this point, Zang Tan's gaze couldn't help but sweep towards Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran, wanting to see if there were any changes in their expressions.

But unfortunately, no matter if it was Lin Bai or Jiang Haoran, both of their expressions were incomparably calm. They did not panic at all. It was as if they had a magnanimous chest and were not afraid of the search and speculation of others.

What Elder Wen Tan didn't notice was that at the same time his eyes searched for Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran, the next Elder Xin Yi from the side slowly cast his gaze on Du Ruo who was not far away. Moreover, from what he could see, he'd clearly noticed that right when Quang ChangGeng mentioned the existence of Lotus Heart Tea in the two tea cups, his eyes revealed an expression of extreme terror as he lowered his head.

After meaningfully sweeping a few glances at Du Ruoruo, the Xin Yi elder unknowingly took a few steps closer to him, raised his hand, and lightly touched him. Only when Du Ruoruo looked at him as if she had seen a ghost did she gently wave her hand, indicating Du Ruoruo not to make such an abnormal expression.

It's over, I've been discovered! Seeing Elder Xin's meaningful gaze, Du Ruo's heart instantly fell to the bottom of the ravine. He felt as if he was drowning in sweat, but was fortunate to not be able to find out that Elder Xin had clearly discovered his unusualness. However, from the looks of it, he didn't seem to reveal his thoughts.

In reality, it wasn't just Du Ruoran who was trembling uncontrollably. Even Jiang Haoran, who seemed to be confident in his abilities, was feeling great shock in his heart. He was practically overwhelmed by an indescribable fear.

He was more clear than anyone else on what had happened to the two teacups. They had been left behind by him and Guiyang during their drinking session.

However, the teacup still existed, yet Guiyang had died. That meant something. It meant that when he and Guiyang were drinking together, there was definitely a third person in the cave besides the two of them.

It was also the third person who suddenly made a move that resulted in Guiyang's death and left him with no time to clean his teacup.

But who was this third person? However, it was this moment that made him panic, because whether it was Gui Yang or him, they both had absolute confidence in their ability to control the energy. However, even when the two of them were there, they did not discover the existence of the third person. That meant that person's cultivation was high.

Would it be Lin Bai? Would it be Lin Bai who killed Gui Yang? At this moment, doubts appeared in his heart, but he quickly dispelled them the moment they appeared. Although he knew that Lin Bai's cultivation base was extraordinary, he knew that even with Lin Bai's cultivation, there was no way he would be able to resist both him and Guiyang at the same time.

But if it wasn't Lin Bai, who was this third person exactly? At this moment, Jiang Haoran felt that the situation in the Medicine Valley was truly a mess. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't come up with a solution.
