The Three Tower Masters Rebel!

At the sound of a tremendous crash, even Song Yunshu flinched. The old man roared, his voice trembling slightly. "A bunch of useless trash! You didn't even know the raw spirit herbs had been poisoned?!" Sitting inside Yunding Auction House, Li Guanqi murmured softly, "By now, they must have figured out the problem. "Heh, I have four peak eighth-rank alchemists backing me. Splitting the toxins apart was child's play..." Li Guanqi closed his eyes and slowly opened his arms, letting the fierce wind outside the building wash over his face. He muttered to himself, "This wind... still isn't strong enough!" His expression grim to the extreme, Gu Yong spoke slowly. "Bring the masters of all four towers here!" Her face pale, Song Yunshu had never seen the elder lose his composure like this. She hurried off to fetch the masters of the Four Towers. Inside a spatial treasure forged from specialized materials, Shen Feng, robed in black, spoke in a chilling murmur. "I've pointed out the path. Whether you take it is up to you! "The reason this is so abrupt is that we don't have much time left to decide! "Song Yunshu will be here any moment. You have only ten breaths to consider!" As he spoke, icy killing intent surged within Shen Feng. Two breaths later, one man nodded and spoke up. "I'm in! I've had enough of living worse than a dog!" "I agree as well. I don't want to stay here another day. Even if it means betting my life, I'm willing to give it a shot!" As they spoke, all three turned in unison toward the Master of the Yellow Tower. The fat man said nothing. For a moment, the atmosphere grew suffocatingly tense! Outside the room, Song Yunshu knocked lightly on the door. *Knock, knock, knock!* The sound reached into the palm-sized spatial treasure, and the killing intent within the room flared ever thicker! A cold glint flashed in Shen Feng's eyes as he roared, "Do it!" Simultaneously, Shen Feng produced two medicinal pills from who knew where and tossed them to the other two. Reaching out, he snatched a wisp of lightning from thin air and spoke at breakneck speed, "Change of plans. We're running out of time—we can buy three shichen at most! "Kill him!" Without hesitation, the other two swallowed the pills! Instantly, an incomprehensibly powerful medicinal force flooded their bodies. Every single one of them decisively severed their own divine souls in an instant! Even Shen Feng did the same. The moment their souls were severed, though agony wracked them, their faces and eyes burned with long-lost freedom. Primal energy surged violently within them, and under the pills' effects, their incomplete divine souls rapidly regenerated. Seeing this unfold, the fat man's eyes turned wildly red with envy, and he cried out in a hurry, "I agree too! Give me one!" Cold light flickered in Shen Feng's eyes as he said chillingly, "Strike! Hold nothing back, we don't have much time! Gu Yong will catch on soon!" In an instant, the three closed in from all sides and pounced on the fat man! The other cold-faced man rasped, "Don't blame us, Tian Hai." Tian Hai, the Master of the Yellow Tower, understood that he was doomed today. Without hesitation, Tian Hai crushed a special seal and roared, "Elder Gu! Three tower masters have rebelled! Save me—!" *Buzz!* A sneer curled Shen Feng's lips. This space was an isolated domain space. What was more, he had prepared for this long in advance; the contingency measures he had set were enough to keep any spatial disturbance from escaping! Before today's conversation, he had even considered that not a single one of the other three might agree. He had prepared for the worst from the outset. Thus, the durability of this domain space was far tougher than anyone could imagine. Cold light gleamed on the sword in Shen Feng's hand, unleashing an overwhelming blast of power as he charged. Having sensed their divine souls becoming whole again, the other two held back nothing. Tian Hai fought desperately, pulling out every trick in his arsenal, yet within a few breaths, he was critically wounded. His face was the color of ash. He could already feel that the spatial ripples carrying his distress signal were merely circling trapped within this space, unable to pass beyond it. No matter how he begged for mercy, the three were resolute in their determination to kill him! *Knock, knock, knock!* Outside Shen Feng's door, Song Yunshu furrowed her brows and called softly, "Master Shen?" Inside the spatial treasure, Shen Feng was frantic. He hacked his sword across Tian Hai's back, but was simultaneously blasted backward by Tian Hai's fist. *Pfft!* Shen Feng flew backward, turned his head, and barked in a low voice, "Jia Kun, keep him pinned! I'll go handle Song Yunshu!" With a tacit understanding, the two coordinated seamlessly, pincering Tian Hai from front and rear, while Shen Feng seized the chance to slip out of the space. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he changed his clothes as quickly as possible and calmed his breathing. Once he had composed himself, Shen Feng opened the door with an ordinary expression and looked at Song Yunshu. "Miss Song, I was attending to some matters inside just now and didn't notice. Is something the matter?" Song Yunshu did not suspect anything. At times, the masters of the Four Towers were not even within the domain. With so much to oversee across the branch towers throughout the Six Domains, they rarely had much time to gather at Tianji Pavilion. Much less the Purple Tower, which bore the heaviest workload of all. Song Yunshu gave a slight bow and said softly, "Grandfather asked me to inform you to see him shortly. You may need to notify the others as well." Shen Feng looked composed, but his heart was pounding madly! Right now, Tianji Pavilion's Yellow Tower was overwhelmed with chaos, everyone scrambling to resolve the unfolding crisis. He knew that this was the very opportunity Li Guanqi had spoken of! And what Li Guanqi wanted him to do was break away from Tianji Pavilion's control at this precise moment, throw his weight behind Guanyun Pavilion, and acknowledge that this was Tianji Pavilion's fault! As for Gu Yong summoning everyone right now, his goal was simply to convene and figure out how to counter the situation. Song Yunshu nodded with a smile, but her eyes casually swept across the spatial artifact sitting on Shen Feng's desk. She routinely assisted with Tianji Pavilion's affairs, so she naturally possessed the discernment to appreciate fine treasures. Looking at the miniature golden palace, she couldn't help remarking, "Master Shen, this spatial artifact of yours is truly extraordinary." A faint chill flitted discreetly across Shen Feng's eyes. His throat bobbed, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. Within his perception, Tian Hai's aura had already dwindled to a faint wisp, and Jia Kun's voice transmitted into his ear: "We've got him! Do we kill him now?" Song Yunshu had just turned around, seemingly having made that remark in passing. Cold glints flashed in Shen Feng's eyes, and his large hand suddenly clamped down, trapping Song Yunshu! Dragging Song Yunshu straight into the spatial treasure, Shen Feng immediately saw Tian Hai, limp as a dead dog, dangling in Jia Kun's grip. Jia Kun's vital blood surged, his primal energy roiled around him, and his body bore numerous wounds.
