Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Ten Deaths Without Life

Kill them to silence them?

The blond, middle-aged Caucasian man and the others who had participated in the fight for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, along with the tycoons on stage, were all furious. They had not expected the Dragon Lord and his men to be so deranged as to murder everyone just to ensure their silence.

"If you want to kill us to keep us quiet, let’s see if you have what it takes," the blond, middle-aged man said coldly.

The others drew their weapons, and some picked up firearms, preparing to clash with the Dragon Lord’s group.

"A bunch of frogs in a well," the Dragon Lord sneered. "You may have the numbers, but your strongest is merely a War God. I alone can annihilate every last one of you."

"Oh, really? Then give it a try!"

Ye Xiu took out his phone, and after a few taps, he said, "I’ve already started a live stream on the Martial Artist Forum. Go on, start your show. Let all the Martial Artists, Extraordinary Abilities Holders, and Totem Inheritors in the world watch your bloodbath at the Ming Feng Tower branch."

The Dragon Lord’s mouth twitched. He had just been boasting, only for Ye Xiu’s move to slap him in the face. He truly didn’t dare to make a move now. The entire point of killing them was to prevent the night’s events from leaking out and making the sponsors a global public enemy. If they acted now, with the whole world watching a live stream, what kind of silencing would that be?

"What do we do?" The Dragon Lord shot an inquiring glance at Ye Tianming, Wang Yue, and the other six members of the sponsor team.

"Let’s get Elder Wang to the hospital first!" Ye Tianming sighed. He was kicking himself. When he had suggested killing everyone to keep them quiet, he’d completely forgotten that Ye Xiu was Huang Quan. With Ye Xiu present, they had no hope of truly staging a bloodbath at Ming Feng Tower. And his idea to "murder them for their silence" had thoroughly pushed the sponsor team into the position of being a global public enemy.

"Alright!" The Dragon Lord nodded helplessly and turned to glare at Ye Xiu. "Ye Xiu, you’re a ruthless one. This isn’t over between us!"

Ye Xiu ignored him, smiling as he addressed the crowd, "Come on, everyone! Let’s give these simpletons a round of applause to see them off!"

A thunderous round of applause erupted, nearly making the Dragon Lord and his people die from sheer rage.

Watching them retreat into the distance, the tycoons rushed down from the stage to surround Ye Xiu.

One of them asked, "Divine Doctor Ye, can you sell the Marrow Cleansing Pill to me? Name your price. I won’t haggle."

At this, the others scrambled to speak.

"Divine Doctor Ye, why don’t you hold an auction for the Marrow Cleansing Pill right here? What do you think?"

"No matter how much the Marrow Cleansing Pill costs, I must have it! I beg you, Divine Doctor Ye, please sell it."

"Divine Doctor Ye, my grandfather’s life is hanging by a thread and he desperately needs the Marrow Cleansing Pill to survive. Please, you must sell it to me."

The chorus of voices all clamoring to buy the Marrow Cleansing Pill gave Ye Xiu a massive headache.

"Everyone, I am terribly sorry, but I’ve already eaten the Marrow Cleansing Pill," Ye Xiu announced loudly.

The clamoring came to an abrupt halt. Disappointment was etched on every face.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu continued, "Actually, I can refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It’s just that the medicinal ingredients required are extremely rare and precious..."

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and hope rekindled in their disappointed hearts.

"Divine Doctor Ye, what ingredients are needed to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" someone asked, his breath catching in his throat.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I’ll tell you the ingredients needed. Once you’ve gathered them, I will refine the pills for you for a small service fee. How does that sound?"

The crowd was overjoyed, thanking Ye Xiu profusely.

Qin Qing, Gong Jin, Chloe, and An Dongye were in awe of Ye Xiu. The auction for "Ye Xiu’s address" had not only drawn in eighty percent of the world’s super-rich but also the most powerful Ancient Martial Families, Sects, organizations of Extraordinary Abilities Holders, and Jianghu forces from across the globe. With one brilliant move, he had pushed all these people into opposition with the sponsor team. Once the Mist Chant Martial Meeting concluded, this group could obliterate the sponsor team into dust.

Moreover, Ye Xiu had also managed to win over the hearts of these people. For as long as Ye Xiu hadn’t yet refined Marrow Cleansing Pills for them, they would continue to worship him like an ancestor. As a result, Ye Xiu’s plan to enter the global medical market gained even more support. This group, eager to curry favor with him, would certainly lend him a hand.

"That kid is full of cunning schemes," An Dongye remarked.

Qin Qing was displeased to hear this. "That’s wisdom!"

After Wu Yiping snatched the "Marrow Cleansing Pill" from Ye Tianming’s hands, he bolted, joyfully sprinting back to his residence. With a racing heart and trembling hands, he carefully opened the box. His "Master" had texted him that once he stole the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it would be his to keep.

However, when he excitedly opened the box, ready to enjoy the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he found no pill inside—only a slip of paper.

Wu Yiping opened the note and read what was written on it: "By the time you read this, I hope you’re so angry you spit blood."

Wu Yiping was speechless.

「In the hospital corridor, outside the emergency room.」

The Dragon Lord, Ye Tianming, and the other six members of the sponsor team were holding a meeting.

"Ye Xiu is simply too clever," Ye Tianming said, his teeth itching with frustration. "I had Ye Shaokang spread the rumor that Ye Xiu had the Marrow Cleansing Pill, intending to use a borrowed knife to kill him. Instead, Ye Xiu took that knife and stabbed us with it." Despite his anger, he had to admit that when it came to schemes and conspiracies, Ye Xiu was a cut above.

The Dragon Lord lamented, "I originally planned to use the auction for ’Ye Xiu’s address’ to make him a public enemy. I never expected him to turn the tables on us and make *us* the public enemy."

As he spoke, the Dragon Lord’s expression turned savage. "It’s all Gong Jin’s fault!" he snarled. "If she hadn’t helped Ye Xiu, we wouldn’t have suffered such a humiliating defeat."

"That’s right. Gong Jin is the one who ruined everything," Ye Tianming egged him on. "With her help, it will be even harder for us to kill Ye Xiu in the future. I believe Ye Xiu has already left the Ming Feng Tower branch, which makes this the perfect time to eliminate Gong Jin."

The Dragon Lord and the six other sponsor team members were taken aback. They had been so consumed by their anger and hatred for Ye Xiu that they had completely overlooked the idea of killing Gong Jin. Ye Tianming’s reminder made them realize that as long as Gong Jin was alive, Ye Xiu was like a tiger that had grown wings.

"I’ll arrange for someone to kill Gong Jin." The Dragon Lord took out his phone and called the fifth brother of the Long Family. "Take your men and slaughter the Ming Feng Tower branch in Yunluo City immediately. You must kill Gong Jin. But before you kill her, force her to tell you Ye Xiu’s address in the city."

"Alright, I’ll gather my men right away!"

After hanging up, the Dragon Lord smiled. He turned to Ye Tianming and the other six members of the sponsor team and said, "Once Old Five forces Gong Jin to reveal Ye Xiu’s address in Yunluo City, we’ll go tonight and capture him alive."

The other six members of the sponsor team all began to smile.

Ye Tianming kept his head down, staring at his phone, his face devoid of the smiles worn by the Dragon Lord and the others. Only he knew that Ye Xiu was Huang Quan. The Dragon Lord’s plan to kill Ye Xiu by force was a path to certain death.

"This... This is..." Ye Tianming’s face suddenly drained of color as he scrolled through the Martial Artist Forum.

"What’s all the alarm about?" the Dragon Lord asked with a smile.

The other six sponsor team members also looked at Ye Tianming with amusement.

Ye Tianming’s face was pale as he said, "The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Bai Songshan, just made a post on the Martial Artist Forum. He announced that Medicine King Valley has formed a strong alliance with Ming Feng Tower. From now on, all Ming Feng Tower branches worldwide will be responsible for selling Medicine King Valley’s medicines. Bai Songshan also declared that anyone who dares to oppose Ming Feng Tower will be considered a mortal enemy of Medicine King Valley."
