Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Western Region Extreme Pill Sect!

"Damn it, the furnace exploded!"

Amidst the dust and smoke, Lu Chen cursed under his breath.

Fortunately, the pills had completely formed; only the pill furnace was destroyed.

It was unclear whether the pills’ grade was too high or the Resentful Heaven Blood was too tyrannical.

Lu Chen didn’t ponder too long; the most urgent task was to rid himself of the fire poison!

He swallowed the pills in one gulp and, while the medicine’s power was dispersing, he noticed that the explosion had actually blown open the entire cave!

"So many people!"

When he saw the figures surrounding the dust and smoke, Lu Chen’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Without using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, his pupils alone had shocked him to the core!

However, Lu Chen quickly regained his composure.

"These people must have been attracted here by the disturbance! They simply refrained from acting out of caution!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath, quickly assessed the situation, and knew he had to make a swift decision; otherwise, once the dust settled, even if they didn’t kill him, they would capture him alive!

"I can’t beat them, and the fire poison in my body hasn’t been removed, which would greatly affect any further use of Spiritual Power!"

Feeling the condition of his body, Lu Chen decided to leave the area immediately.

As for where he would go, he couldn’t worry too much about that for now!

Having made his decision, Lu Chen didn’t take flight with his spear but instead crouched low and, using the dust as cover, hurried towards the other side of the mountain peak.

On one hand, he needed the medicine’s power to dissolve his inner nature; on the other, it was difficult to utilize Spiritual Power at the moment.

Once he escaped the reach of these people, he could catch his breath.

"What is that kid doing?"

At that moment, nearly everyone vaguely saw Lu Chen crouching, blissfully unaware that he had already made his escape.

But with the atmosphere so tense, no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.

Until the dust dispersed, and there was nothing left but debris and dust around the mountain—no trace of a human figure remained!

Those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, lacking Spiritual Sense, had no idea Lu Chen had long since fled.

"He actually escaped!"

Finally, someone came to their senses, beating their chest and stomping their feet in frustration.

They had assumed Lu Chen couldn’t see outside from within the dust.

But to their astonishment, every move they made had been within Lu Chen’s sight, with nowhere to hide!

Almost all the cultivators exchanged looks, their eyes revealing disappointment as they finally dispersed.

Of course, there were some who, dissatisfied and highly fixated on the Spiritual Fire, discreetly stayed behind, hoping to find some clues.

"It seems he went in that direction, I sensed a faint trace of aura."

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator stood up and pointed in the direction Lu Chen had fled.

"Big Brother, how did you perceive it?"

At his side, two male and two female cultivators looked on with admiration.

"I wouldn’t make a rash guess," the senior cultivator said with a confident smile, pleased with his junior brothers’ and sisters’ tone. He spoke lightly, "Isn’t it simple? First, the footprints; second, he seemed to have been refining pills just now, so some Elixir Qi should linger on him! Third, the scent of the Spiritual Fire! Combining these, he must have gone that direction. We just need to follow!"

One of the junior brothers, noticing some cultivators still casting occasional glances at them, whispered a reminder, "Big Brother, what about those people?"

Big Brother sneered, "Don’t mind them. As the prominent Western Region Extreme Pill Sect, are we afraid of a few misshapen melons and cracked dates?"

The Extreme Pill Sect, a premier sect in the Western Region, was rumored to possess heavenly fire inheritance!

And the Big Brother speaking, Ji Mingze!

He was the number one cultivator among the inner disciples, the youngest disciple of the sect leader!

He was sent because all the sect leader’s other disciples were already at the Core Formation mid-stage, which did not meet the criteria to enter the Haotian Secret Realm.

Not only did Ji Mingze have exceptional talent in alchemy, but he also had a pure Fire Spiritual Root, making him particularly formidable in the art of Alchemy!

"Big Brother, if they swarm us, I’m afraid we..."

Another whispered, only to be cut off by Ji Mingze’s cold voice.

"If they were to take action, they wouldn’t have waited outside the dust, allowing the kid to escape! In short, if they don’t dare to move, all the better. But if they do... I’ll refine them into human pills!"
