Chapter 139: Full Moon Night

"Thank you, City Lord."

Yun Yi looked very grateful. He cupped his hands in a bow to Pan Hong, showing he would go to great lengths for him.

"Okay, okay, haha."

Pan Hong happily patted Yun Yi on the shoulder, laughing as he turned and walked away. He felt proud and joyful, thinking that he had saved someone by chance, and it was the universe’s plan. Today’s good fortune was truly a gift, and he felt like he was a favored one. He was already filled with expectations for his future and achievements.

Pan Hong quickly left the Dan Workshop and headed to the City Master’s residence. At this moment, he probably needed to go to the back mountain. The altar he needed had to be built before nightfall.

"Brother Yun, I didn’t expect you to really succeed in making the Evil Spirit Pill. I truly admire you! Now that the Evil Spirit Pill is ready, I wonder if Brother Yun has some time. I have many questions I’d like to ask you."

After Pan Hong left, the Chief Steward immediately spoke up. He had been waiting for this opportunity for several days. If he could not ask Yun Yi for help while he was free, it would be even harder to find a chance once Yun Yi became a favored person by Pan Hong.

"Chief Steward, you’re too polite. We are both serving the City Lord, and we are on the same team. If you have any difficulties, I will do my best to help; I won’t be careless at all," Yun Yi said with a smile.

"Haha, great! Brother Yun is indeed a straightforward person. In the City Master’s residence, if you ever need help, just say the word, and I will never refuse."

The Chief Steward looked excited, thinking that Yun Yi was an exceptionally cheerful person.

"Please come in, Chief Steward."

Yun Yi gestured for the Chief Steward to enter the storage room.

"Okay."

The Chief Steward smiled widely and, without being polite to Yun Yi, strode confidently into the storage room.

However, the Chief Steward did not notice the coldness and killing intent in Yun Yi’s gaze from behind him, nor would he have thought that once he stepped inside, he would never have the chance to walk out.

Yun Yi entered the storage room and tightly closed the door.

"Brother Yun…"

The Chief Steward turned around with a smile, but his expression instantly changed when he saw Yun Yi’s cold face and the glimmering dagger in his hand.

Whoosh!

Yun Yi moved; his speed was at its peak. At such a close distance and with such quick action, the Chief Steward had no chance to react at all.

Pff!

The cold dagger stabbed fiercely into the Chief Steward’s chest, piercing his heart. Blood flowed from the dagger and quickly soaked his clothes red.

The Chief Steward looked horrified. He felt life slipping away and death rapidly closing in, spreading throughout his body.

"W-why…?"

The Chief Steward’s eyes widened. Until he died, he could not understand why this was happening. He did not know why Yun Yi suddenly turned against him, that always-smiling and kind boy, how he could suddenly become a Killing God-like Demon King.

"Because I am Hero Flying Tiger."

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yi’s mouth.

"Y-you…"

The Chief Steward’s pupils widened in shock; this news hit him like a bolt of lightning.

Yun Yi fiercely pulled out his dagger, and the remaining spiritual power inside him shattered the last hope of the Chief Steward. The Chief Steward grasped Yun Yi’s arms with both hands and then fell limp, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

If it hadn’t been for the sneak attack, with the Chief Steward’s eighth grade of the Innate Realm power, he believed Yun Yi would never have been able to defeat him.

Unfortunately, he was completely unprepared for Yun Yi and, under the surprise attack, was killed with a single move, having no chance to fight back.

Looking at the Chief Steward lying on the ground, Yun Yi showed a cold expression. A person deserving of death should be killed. His true battle with the City Master began with the killing of the Chief Steward.

Yun Yi waved his hand, casting a flame that fell upon the Chief Steward’s body. Within a few breaths, the Chief Steward was completely burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind.

"That’s ruthless," Black Wind said.

"We must treat our enemies this way. If I don’t kill him, tomorrow he could be a fierce opponent, capable of harming many innocent people."

Yun Yi said calmly. He was a person who had experienced life and death, real bloodshed, and killing; his heart had become incredibly firm and steady.

"This is how it should be: be loyal and kind to friends, but ruthless to enemies. If someone must be killed, then they should be killed. Mercy towards enemies is cruelty towards yourself. Only with a strong heart and a decisive nature for killing can great things be achieved. I have confidence in you."

Black Wind nodded. He had lost count of how many times he had praised Yun Yi, but this time was his most sincere.

After killing the Chief Steward, Yun Yi took out the Space Ring and stuffed all the herbs in the storage room into it. Together, these herbs represented a valuable fortune, especially in his hands, where their worth would multiply many times, since Yun Yi could turn them into pills any time.

"Not bad, I’ve made a big fortune," Black Wind chuckled.

"Black Wind, go outside and check how many people are left in the pill workshop," Yun Yi said.

Black Wind’s expression changed as he became a flash of light and rushed out. He quickly returned not long after.

"What?" Yun Yi asked.

"There aren’t many people, only about thirty or forty, and they are not strong. The strongest is only at the sixth grade of the Innate Realm. Among them are quite a few Demon Humans. I think most of the City Master’s people have already gone to the back mountain or are inside the City Master’s estate. In other places, there aren’t many people."

Black Wind said, "What should we do with these people?"

"Those with no conscience are no different from Demon Humans. The City Master’s estate needs to be cleansed from top to bottom, uprooted entirely. It’s still early; by nightfall, we will take out everyone here, then close the alchemy workshop’s doors and go to the back mountain," Yun Yi said, a cold glint shining in his eyes.

"Good," Black Wind nodded, admiring Yun Yi’s decisive and clean style of action, never leaving any loose ends.

Night quickly fell. The altar at the back mountain of the City Master’s estate was built to a height of seven or eight meters. The dark altar appeared extremely eerie, with engraved runes that emitted an aura that made one’s very soul tremble.

The back mountain had been completely sealed off, with soldiers from the City Master’s office both inside and outside. Inside the City Master’s office, it was very quiet.

However, beneath this quietness, hidden waves churned, a storm that could break out at any moment.

At this moment, Yun Yi pushed open the big door of the storage room, stretched lazily, and walked forward with big steps.
