"Lu Instructor, you go ahead, I won't be going with you." Zhou Hong had a premonition that it was definitely a powerful expert. To avoid implicating the other students in Class 30, Zhou Hong immediately turned and fled in another direction.
Lu Qianqian was a little worried, but she couldn't abandon the students of Class 30 to chase after Zhou Hong.
"Lu Instructor, don't worry, I think Zhou Hong will be fine," Liu Zhenen quickly said.
"Fine, fine, even if he really encounters danger, I can't save him. I'm only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage." Lu Qianqian had no choice but to lead the Class 30 students to continue their training.
Zhou Hong had not even run fifty li when a white-haired old man appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Still trying to run?" the white-haired old man asked with a cold laugh.
Zhou Hong felt that his entire body was immobilized. This white-haired old man had suppressed him so thoroughly with his aura that Zhou Hong didn't even have a chance to enter his sub-world.
"Senior, who are you?" Zhou Hong had to ask, though he had already guessed it.
"You killed the patriarch of my clan, and you still ask who I am," the white-haired old man said coldly.
"Heh heh, the grandfather of that Zhang Wenbo, that's the patriarch you're talking about, right?" Zhou Hong smiled bitterly.
"Otherwise, I waited for you in Tai Gu City for a month. You finally left Tai Gu City. Truly, heaven rewards the persistent."
"Senior, I don't know if you are a reasonable person." Zhou Hong couldn't escape, so he could only try to reason with him.
"Speak, I'd like to see what you have to say."
"Actually, I am the victim. It was your clan's disciple, Zhang Wenbo, who wanted to snatch a woman from me. That woman was bestowed upon me by the Emperor of my empire. Zhang Wenbo, to show off the vast power of his clan, put pressure on my empire's Emperor. Tell me yourself, am I not the victim? Afterwards, he himself actively challenged me to a life-and-death battle. He lost to me. That was that. Then, he was obstructed by a protector of the academy, who spared his life. By rights, I have been bullied enough by your clan. Even so, your clan still hasn't let me go. The patriarch you mentioned, he even went to my hometown and captured my clan patriarch and others to threaten me. Damn it, this is too much bullying. I finally killed him. Now, you've come out seeking revenge."
The more Zhou Hong thought about it, the angrier he became. From beginning to end, he was the victim. He had been bullied by this clan again and again.
"Are you finished?"
"I'm finished. If you are a reasonable person, you should know that all my resistance was forced."
"How ridiculous, still trying to reason with me." The white-haired old man sneered, as if laughing at Zhou Hong for being an idiot.
Zhou Hong was also helpless. He was just trying to reason with him because he had no other way to escape. As expected, if one's strength is inferior, even the hardest logic is useless.
The next moment, Zhou Hong felt instantly bound.
He didn't know what artifact it was, but it was like a jar. Zhou Hong was firmly trapped inside.
"Senior, what are you trying to do? If you want to kill me, then kill me," Zhou Hong snorted.
"Don't worry, you are sure to die, but you will die meaningfully." The white-haired old man didn't seem in a hurry to kill Zhou Hong; he had other plans.
At this moment, a younger man descended from the sky.
"Grandfather, is this brat really the one who killed the patriarch? How did he surrender so easily? I'm starting to doubt if the patriarch was really killed by him," the man who descended said, looking at Zhou Hong.
"Don't worry, I will investigate this matter later. The most important thing now is that I need to quickly reach the Integration stage. I'm just a step away. I think once I go back and successfully refine the Myriad Soul Pill, I will be able to completely reach the Integration stage. Then, I will pay Tai Gu Academy another visit." the white-haired old man said, a strong desire in his eyes.
"Grandfather, your Myriad Soul Pill, are you only missing the last Nascent Soul?"
"Yes, the last one. It must be a Nascent Soul of supreme talent." the white-haired old man said, his gaze fixed on Zhou Hong. It seemed Zhou Hong was not a person in his eyes, but the last spiritual medicine that could allow him to refine the Myriad Soul Pill.
Zhou Hong seemed to understand. The old man wasn't in a hurry to kill him because he wanted to capture him and refine pills.
"Damn it, old ghost, if you want to kill me, then kill me," Zhou Hong said angrily.
"Hmph, don't worry, I will make your death more meaningful. If it weren't for refining pills, I would have killed you directly and taken your Nascent Soul. I heard you are a very talented person, the number one in Tai Gu Academy's history. Hahaha, it turns out all of this was prepared for me. I just happened to need such a genius. Hahaha." the white-haired old man laughed heartily.
"What is the Myriad Soul Pill?"
"Brat, why ask so many questions? I'm taking you back to refine medicine." the white-haired old man said, then with one hand, he picked up the jar and took Zhou Hong away.
Zhou Hong struggled for a long time but could not break free.
"It's over, am I going to perish just like this?" Zhou Hong thought to himself. The people from Earth in his sub-world were still waiting to ascend to the immortal realm.
"Dark Golden Crow, Dark Golden Crow." Zhou Hong kept calling out to the Dark Golden Crow, but there was no response.
"Damn you, Dark Golden Crow, if you're not dead, make a sound. If you really don't help, I'm truly finished." Zhou Hong continued to shout in his sub-world.
"Let it be, let it all be over, hahaha." The Dark Golden Crow laughed instead.
Zhou Hong couldn't understand anymore. It seemed he couldn't count on the Dark Golden Crow in the future. Su Dan Novel Network.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Hong was taken to a certain empire, to a certain clan.
Then, Zhou Hong was directly taken to a basement.
In that basement, there was a large furnace, and on top of the furnace, a boiler with a diameter of three to four meters was placed.
"Brat, do you have any last words? Speak quickly. For the quality of my Myriad Soul Pill, I will let you leave without regret." the white-haired old man asked Zhou Hong. It wasn't that he was so kind as to let Zhou Hong say his last words, but for the quality of his Myriad Soul Pill.
Zhou Hong was also conflicted at this moment. He was powerless to escape, but at this critical juncture, he couldn't bring himself to self-destruct his Nascent Soul.
"I have no last words," Zhou Hong snorted coldly.
"Good, then go in."
With that, the white-haired old man grabbed Zhou Hong and threw him directly into the boiler.
"Boom." Zhou Hong was thrown into the boiler. After entering, Zhou Hong discovered that inside the boiler, there were hundreds of Nascent Souls. These Nascent Souls, seeing that an opening had appeared in the boiler, all tried to escape. However, before they could escape, the lid of the boiler was closed again.
"Wuwuwu!" The hundreds of Nascent Souls in the boiler cried in despair, as if filled with immense despair. Now that the last Nascent Soul had been captured, the refinement would begin soon, and they would all become part of the pill.
