With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 427 Human Heart

At this moment, Ding Yi completely concealed his aura, activating the Breath Concealment Technique to its fullest extent, standing there motionless like an old pine tree.

There was no one in the open space in front of him, but he did not make any rash moves. To be on the safe side, he even retreated to the dense forest ten miles away.

"Hee hee hee!"

Above Ding Yi's head, the members of the nuclear singing group were still flying around, and the chains on their bodies kept making a "clanging" sound.

These figures roamed the vicinity, capturing the eerie phantoms hiding in the forest, and pinning them down one by one before sending them into the nuclear sword.

Suddenly, a chilling wind swept through the dense forest, accompanied by sharp cries and a stench of decay.

Countless figures darted through the woods, sending the blood-red leaves flying everywhere, piling up in a thick layer at Ding Yi's feet in no time.

After an unknown amount of time, the strange sound finally disappeared. When Ding Yi looked up, he found that the previously dark sky had become somewhat brighter, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to be warming up.

"Huh? What just happened?"

Ding Yi's attention had been focused on what was ahead, so he was a little confused when he saw this unusual sign.

He turned to look at the nuclear sword stuck in the ground, only to find that the black color on the nuclear sword had begun to glow, giving it a somewhat surreal appearance when viewed from a distance.

"Holy crap, how many guys did they arrest?"

Ding Yi was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, it seemed that none of those strange things dared to provoke him anymore. Ding Yi immediately glanced at the open space again, then made a move on the nuclear sword, which turned into a black light and flew into his hand.

Ding Yi stared expressionlessly at the faintly visible palace silhouette on the distant cliff, then a cold smile appeared on his lips before he slowly retreated.

Bloodbath City.

Bai Zihua stood on a pavilion with a grim expression, looking down at the street below. Behind him stood three or four cultivators shrouded in black robes.

"So, you've searched all day and haven't found a single clue?"

Bai Zihua asked in a cold voice.

“Elder, Blood Slaughter City is too big. Moreover, recently a large number of yellow coins have suddenly appeared in the city. They come from all kinds of channels. Some were picked up, some were given by others, and some were simply thrown into the attic at night.”

A figure behind them quickly explained.

"Trash!"

Bai Zihua snorted coldly, but at the same time his expression relaxed slightly.

He wasn't stupid. Since so many yellow monsters had suddenly appeared in the city, it meant that the demon had noticed his arrival and was terrified!

He's so naive to think he can distract him with such a low tactic!

Hahahaha!

Bai Zihua excitedly clutched his chest. This excessive excitement made his heart pound violently, as if he had just run thousands of miles at high speed.

"You want to play like this? Then I'll keep you company."

Bai Zihua muttered to himself, then gave the following instructions:

"With so many yellow seeds appearing, there must be a source. Find all the areas where yellow seeds have appeared, and then go to the center of these areas to search!"

Upon hearing this, the other three immediately obeyed and hurriedly retreated, while Bai Zihua narrowed his eyes slightly.

This person's cunning exceeded his expectations, but he was also very puzzled. Given that person's strength, he shouldn't be so despicable.

Why is it?

Meanwhile, inside a private room at the restaurant.

Zhou Ying was looking out at the street through the window of her room.

It was already close to evening, but there were still many cultivators on the streets of Blood Slaughter City.

Many of these cultivators have already started smoking huangzi while walking, and this convenient way of consuming huangzi has prompted other demon palaces to imitate it.

"By this time, those people must have already started making their move."

Zhou Ying looked at the crowded people below and thought to herself.

After several days of covert investigation, she finally understood why Huang Zi had caused such a sensation and also made a rough deduction about Ding Yi's situation.

According to her conjecture, even if Ding Yi wasn't the pharmacist who created Huang Zi, they must have had a close relationship.

The people from the Demon Palace wanted to capture the apothecary, while Ding Yi had a specific purpose: to sell these yellow seeds.

This is quite an interesting situation.

At this moment, she slowly opened an iron box, stretched out two slender white fingers, pinched out the yellow yolk inside, then rubbed a flame with one hand before putting the yellow yolk into her mouth.

The next second, the refreshing scent of mint leaves mixed with the unique stimulating sensation of the Ascension Cream made Zhou Ying's eyes narrow slightly. In a daze, she seemed to see herself becoming an empress in this world in the future.

"This feels really good..."

Zhou Ying thought to herself, but the next second she actually extinguished the yellow egg and crushed it into powder.

"Unfortunately, this is the cultivation method of those weaklings. I, Zhou Ying, have ascended all the way to this point, enduring countless hardships and even being subservient to others. Is it all for this one sip of Ascension Elixir?"

"No, this is not what I want..."

Zhou Ying's eyes gradually turned cold, and then a cold smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

She deliberately released yellow cards in several areas near that slut's restaurant. If the other party isn't stupid, they should have already found the restaurant.

On the other side, Meng Yunxi was leaning back in her chair, looking at the soul crystal in her hand, her eyes full of admiration.

She marveled at how convenient the cultivation methods in the upper realm were. As long as one had enough soul crystals, one could steadily improve one's cultivation until one comprehended the Great Dao that leads to the heavens and became a sect leader and ancestor in this world!

Unfortunately, she is currently just a minor ascendant and has no way of obtaining a large number of soul crystals. The ones she has are only the ones she has secretly saved up recently.

"No, I must get that man!"

At this moment, Meng Yunxi remembered Ding Yi's face again. A resolute look flashed in her eyes, and then she went to the dressing mirror to examine her own face.

"Meng Yunxi, Meng Yunxi, you are said to be a beauty of unparalleled grace, so why doesn't any man even glance at you?"

Meng Yunxi touched her skin, which was as smooth as mutton fat, her face full of sorrow.

But the next moment, she raised an eyebrow as she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Before she could react, a scream came from outside.

"It's that guy Liu Gang!"

Meng Yunxi recognized the voice as belonging to the male ascendant who had been with them. Her expression immediately changed drastically. Without thinking, she quickly tapped herself a few times, then grabbed a black robe from the bed next to her. With a sway, she transformed into a hunched old woman.

Meng Yunxi then quickly opened the window, and finally slammed into the wall next to her, instantly passing through the wall and disappearing without a trace.

The next moment, the wooden door of the room was kicked open, and three or four figures dressed in black robes rushed in carrying a half-dead man.
