As the golden light appeared, the thundercloud changed from three colors to four. Then, another streak of purple appeared, and that thundercloud, under countless incredulous gazes, turned into five colors.
Wow~
The whole place boiled over.
A five-colored thundercloud.
Another five-colored thundercloud had appeared!
This Pill Gathering was simply too shocking. Countless blazing gazes all turned toward the grand stone platform in the sky, where two young figures stood.
At this very moment, those two figures, without a doubt, had become the focus of the entire crowd.
With two massive five-colored thunderclouds looming overhead, under that terrifying heavenly might, those two upright young figures ignited the blood of everyone present.
Cao Ying's beautiful eyes also gleamed with excitement as she stared at those two straight-backed figures who were, in the midst of countless gazes, standing proudly above all.
One bore a calm expression, the other radiated a strange and domineering aura, two completely different styles and temperaments, yet both equally captivating.
Deep within her eyes, dazzling light flickered continuously.
From her appearance, anyone could tell that this woman, hailed as the proudest witch of the Cao Clan, had truly begun to feel her heart stir.
For so many years, this woman, who had left countless outstanding men spellbound yet always remained aloof and proud, finally, in this very moment, gazed upon those two youths under the blazing thunder and could not help but feel her heart race.
Of course, no one could deny that at this moment, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan indeed possessed a kind of irresistible allure.
Only such men were worthy of Cao Ying.
That delicate girl, Dan Chen, also wore a face full of shock at this time, her beautiful eyes unblinking as she stared at them, her expression somewhat dazed.
To stand at the very peak of the Pill Gathering under the eyes of all, with the power of five-colored Tier 8 pills, utterly crushing the entire field, such an achievement, who could ignore it?
At this moment, in the eyes of many young girls, the two five-colored thunderclouds far up in the sky looked just like auspicious multicolored clouds.
That was glory, a symbol of status and position!
Looking at the fully formed and stabilized five-colored thundercloud, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. His tense nerves finally loosened at this moment.
A wave of dizziness surged in his head.
The Spiritual Enhancement's drain on the soul was simply too terrifying. However, his mood was incomparably elated. Turning his gaze toward Wei Yang, he even raised his brows at him in smugness.
This smugness was not without reason.
After chasing for so long, he had finally, in this instant, completely caught up to Wei Yang's pace. Not only was he able to compete alongside him on the same stage, but he had also managed to stand on equal footing.
How long had he waited for this day?
Was it from the very first time he saw Wei Yang at the Xiao Clan?
How many times had he brushed past death, how much sweat had he shed—only he truly knew the hardships. And now, he had finally caught up with Wei Yang's steps.
Under the eyes of the entire world.
"Brother Wei, from today onward, I am truly able to walk beside you, to climb to the peak together!" Xiao Yan muttered under his breath.
His gaze upon Wei Yang burned with fervor. He had waited far too long for this day. Now, the two of them were finally standing at the same starting line. From now on, he was no longer just a pursuer, but a climber advancing side by side.
"Yes, you've finally caught up."
Wei Yang also sighed softly, his face revealing a gentle smile as he said quietly: "This is good."
The two looked at each other for a moment, then both burst into hearty laughter.
"These two will definitely become great enemies of my Hall of Souls in the future!"
The old man Mu Gu's face was extremely gloomy as a surge of overwhelming killing intent rose in his heart.
These two, at such an age, had already reached such heights. If given enough time to grow, would they not become existences like the sovereigns of this world?
It was as if he had foreseen a terrifying glimpse of the future. Jealousy, unwillingness, fear, trembling. All sorts of emotions surged to the surface at this moment.
More importantly, these two brats were both students and disciples of that damned Yao Chen!This was the reality that Old Mu Gu found the hardest to accept.
From the instant the first five-colored thundercloud appeared, he understood that the champion's seat had completely drifted beyond his reach.
Now Xiao Yan's success was nothing more than adding yet another bloody wound on Mu Gu's already shattered heart.
These were two juniors!
He had been crushed by two juniors.
And these two juniors were taught by Yao Chen.
Tired, let the world be destroyed!
Huff~ Huff~
Heavy breathing poured from Old Mu Gu's nose.
A faint redness crept into his eyes, and the look he cast at Wei Yang and Xiao Yan brimmed with an ever-thickening killing intent. His five fingers slowly curled into claws, his aura stirring restlessly, almost ready to burst free.
However, just as his killing intent was about to reach its peak, a cold gaze suddenly swept over him, like a bucket of icy water poured straight over his head, instantly shattering the murderous thoughts in his heart.
Old Mu Gu jolted, turning his gaze, only to see Xuan Kongzi on the high platform, his eyes cold as ice, staring directly at him.
The corner of Mu Gu's mouth twitched slightly. Regaining a bit of clarity, he hurriedly forced down his killing intent.
He knew well that if he had dared to make a move earlier, Xuan Kongzi would have seized the opportunity to kill him on the spot.
On the high platform.
"Why did you stop him? If you let him attack, we could've taken the chance to cut him down directly. Wouldn't that have ended it all cleanly?" the woman in the qipao snorted with some dissatisfaction.
At this time, her gaze on Wei Yang and Xiao Yan was filled with warmth.
It was as if she were looking at two outstanding juniors of her own family, her eyes full of affection. She had even been ready to strike just now, but unexpectedly, Xuan Kongzi had subdued Mu Gu with a single gaze.
"The Pill Gathering isn't over yet. If we let him cause chaos, what would that look like?"
Xuan Kongzi sighed helplessly and said: "I also want to take the chance to kill him, but we can't allow him to ruin this Pill Gathering, can we?"
"That's right." The dark-skinned, stern old man also spoke: "This moment belongs to those two youngsters. Their moment of glory must not be spoiled."
Hearing this, the qipao woman fell silent.
Indeed, Old Mu Gu could be killed later.
But Wei Yang and Xiao Yan's shining moment could not be ruined. Turning his venomous gaze back toward Xiao Yan and Wei Yang, Old Mu Gu made up his mind. After the Pill Gathering, he would definitely find a chance to kill these two.
For that, even if it alarmed the Hall Master, he would not hesitate!
As if sensing that venomous stare, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan almost simultaneously turned their heads, looking at Old Mu Gu.
Both of their brows rose slightly.
"That look in your eyes, I don't like it," Wei Yang said coldly, his gaze domineering, his tone indifferent. Old Mu Gu's face twitched, his expression dark, but he said nothing.
On Xiao Yan's face, however, a gentle smile suddenly appeared. Then, under countless gazes, he stretched out his thumb, turned it downward toward Old Mu Gu.
"You said earlier, nothing special? The reality is, you can't even beat the two of us. What right do you have to compare yourself with Master, the old master?"
Xiao Yan's lips moved, his faintly smiling voice drifting slowly into Old Mu Gu's ears.
"You two…"
Pfft~
Xiao Yan's dismissive gesture and words made Old Mu Gu's face instantly turn ashen, then flush red.
The fury piled up in his chest but could not burst forth. Instead, it transformed into a mouthful of fresh blood that he spat out under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"You two brats, you've gone too far bullying me!"
