C227 Dragons Have Reverse Scales(2)

Woo Zhengyang didn’t pay any attention to them and directly gave Uncle Fu two pills to swallow. These spirit pills were potent enough that just one could heal even the most severe injuries. Yet, Zhengyang gave Uncle Fu two, making many people think it was a waste. Some even glanced at the head of the Zhou family, considering taking action to seize them.

Before anyone could react, Zhengyang pulled out two more pills.

"Clear Vein Pill! Another mid-grade spirit pill!"

"Where did this kid get so many spirit pills?"

While everyone was still in shock, Zhengyang gave Uncle Fu another pill and then opened another jade bottle. One by one, he opened five bottles, each containing spirit pills, with the highest being top-grade.

These pills were ones Zhengyang had casually made while crafting Condensation Pills and Dragon Saliva Pills at the Pill King Pavilion. In the No Life Patriarch's cave, Zhengyang had found countless spirit herbs, and he had prepared some pills just in case. He never expected they would come in handy.

These spirit pills, which drove everyone else crazy with desire, were nothing to Zhengyang. He gave Uncle Fu two of each, causing the onlookers to feel a pang of envy.

Finally, Zhengyang took out the Dragon Saliva Pill. This pill was so rare that no one recognized it, and after seeing so many spirit pills, the crowd was no longer surprised. However, Uncle Fu knew exactly what it was.

"Woo Zhengyang, you actually found it... Good... With this pill, I can protect the young master even if it costs me my life!"

"Uncle Fu, save the Dragon Saliva Pill for after you recover. Leave everything here to me today!"

Since that day, Uncle Fu's abilities have gradually declined. If he takes the Dragon Saliva Pill now, his strength will quickly return, making it easy to handle those martial artists. However, doing so would leave him with hidden injuries, preventing any further advancement in his skills. Woo Zhengyang couldn't allow Uncle Fu to make such a sacrifice.

He brought out the Dragon Saliva Pill just to reassure Uncle Fu. To prevent him from using it recklessly, Woo Zhengyang put it away and approached Elder Ye, facing the twenty-five family members across from him. "Are you looking for me? What do you want?"

"What do we want? Woo Zhengyang, did you kill Yun Shaoqing from my family?"

"And Zhou Muyuan from my Zhou family!"

"Bu Qianshan from my Bu family must have been taken down by you too!"

The twenty-five were furious, and though it was chaotic, Woo Zhengyang pieced together the situation. These people included families of Yun Shaoqing, Liu Tianli, Zhou Muyuan, Bu Qianshan, and others.

From the Profound Heaven Sect to the Mystic Trace Realm, Woo Zhengyang had faced countless foes, both famous and unknown. Families with grudges against him were scattered throughout the entire country.

Woo Zhengyang had anticipated this and was prepared for the families' retaliation. However, he hadn't expected that his absence would lead them to unite against Uncle Fu.

"A dragon has its reverse scale, and touching it invites death." These people had crossed Woo Zhengyang's line.

"Enough! There's no need to say more. Yes, I killed them!" Woo Zhengyang interrupted, taking on all the hatred himself.

"Good, you've admitted it. Today, you owe an explanation to our twenty-five families!"

"An explanation? Ha..." Woo Zhengyang laughed coldly. "What explanation is there? I had my reasons for killing them. Your kin deserved it!"

"You're courting death!"

"The two elders have heard it too. This young man admits to being a ruthless killer. Are you still going to shield him?"

"In my opinion, it's not about being a killer. This guy is possessed, just like the rumors say. We must kill him!"

If it weren't for Elder Ye and Elder Zhou, the crowd would have acted already. Though they were only outer elders of the Profound Heaven Sect, they represented the sect's dignity. No one dared to directly offend the sect. If the Zhou family had Zhou Lianshan's backing, it might be different, but for the other families, incurring the sect's wrath would be disastrous.

Elder Zhou and Elder Ye glanced at Woo Zhengyang, their faces filled with helplessness and frustration.

The situation was already against them, and Woo Zhengyang agreeing to everything only made it harder to handle.

"Thank you both for your immense help. I, Woo Zhengyang, will not forget today's events!"

"Ehh... there's no need for that. You shouldn't have come back, and even if you did, this isn't the place you should be," Elder Ye sighed.

"Kid, if things get chaotic later, find a way to slip out! We'll hold them off as best as we can! As long as you make it back to the Profound Heaven Sect, they won't dare act recklessly!" Elder Zhou communicated quietly. Despite his fiery temper, he was not heartless. The fact that people from twenty-five families dared to come here was no coincidence. Even if they intervened today, it wouldn't end well.

"No need to worry, Elders. Since they claim this is a private matter, let's handle it as such. You don't need to get involved; leave this to me!" Woo Zhengyang said, stepping forward to face the head of the Zhou family.
