Chapter 1046: Void Servant, Where Is My Medicine???

“Run! Run! Run!”

Not only Hong Dang was running, but Xiao Kongtong was also running. After completing the dirty deal at Sin Hall One, even Ye Xiaotian was now running.

Everyone’s goal seemed to be the same: let others die as long as I live; survive as long as possible.

They had initially thought that Void Island was truly as the Eight Venerables had described—a place brimming with opportunities, where becoming a Saint was effortless.

Only upon arrival did they discover the truth.

What the Eight Venerables said was true.

However, they had only mentioned the advantages of Sky City, not its disadvantages.

—All the opportunities here had to be exchanged for their lives!

“Thump! Thump! Thump...”

Miracle Forest, Shennong Medicinal Garden.

The heartbeat of the Saint Emperor Dragon Scale was reaching another extreme, making anyone who heard it dizzy and disoriented.

Using Hong Dang’s life as a sacrifice for his own opportunistic rise… Xu Xiaoshou was still aggressively expanding his Yuan Mansion world channel.

He didn’t know what was happening outside at that moment.

All he knew was that he absolutely couldn’t miss the opportunity that Hong Dang had bought for him with his life.

—Wasting even a single sacred medicine would be disrespectful to Hong Dang!

—Absolutely not! No way!

“Buzz buzz buzz...”

The spatial channel expanded with all its might, while the Saint Emperor Dragon Scale fiercely interfered.

But Xu Xiaoshou was mad; even though he knew the Saint Emperor Dragon Scale was stopping him, he couldn’t curb Xu the Great Demon King’s desire to “take it all”!

Finally...

When a spatial channel spanning thousands of li was constructed, Xu Xiaoshou vaguely felt that he was almost unable to maintain such a massive channel.

In the images transmitted by his “perception,” a piece of land cleared within his Yuan Mansion world finally matched the Shennong Medicinal Garden perfectly.

“I’m sorry, Void Attendant!”

“I’m sorry, Hong Dang!”

“I’m sorry, fellow Spirit Refiners on Void Island who haven’t had a chance to come and collect herbs yet...”

“The Shennong Medicinal Garden now belongs to the Xu family!”

Xu Xiaoshou’s face suddenly contorted, and with a forceful closing of his hand, the spatial channel, thousands of li wide, completely enveloped the Shennong Medicinal Garden.

“Swish!”

A soft sound.

In this place, the rich spiritual energy and medicinal fragrance were no more.

Instead, there was a massive pit, thousands of li across and three hundred zhang deep!

Yes, Xu Xiaoshou dug as deep as the Void Attendant was tall.

He didn’t want any innocent weeds to be harmed; they still had to live in the Yuan Mansion world, their roots unbroken.

So, digging three feet deep was impossible...

Digging three hundred zhang deep was Xu Xiaoshou’s conservative approach, his bottom line!

“Run!”

In the span of a single breath, the entire Shennong Medicinal Garden was emptied.

Xu Xiaoshou didn’t even dare to glance back at his Yuan Mansion; he immediately flashed out of the barrier channel.

Originally, his plan was to first collect a few sacred medicines, or perhaps excavate a tenth of the garden, which would have been normal.

Then, after a few more trips, the entire Shennong Medicinal Garden would be his.

But after truly being there, Xu Xiaoshou understood why, in Shuangdai’s memory, even when close to death, they couldn’t let go of that Sacred Miracle Fruit.

“It wasn’t that they couldn’t let go, but that they truly couldn’t!”

“It’s not that I’m greedy; it’s that I truly have to give every single spiritual herb in this Shennong Medicinal Garden some love!”

“Their destiny shouldn’t be to remain buried and forgotten on this Void Island, but rather to be washed into fertile, perfectly rounded pills in Old Sang’s ‘Dragon-Phoenix Auspicious’ grand bathtub!”

Wiping away drool, Xu Xiaoshou flashed to the ancient tree where Lei Xier was hiding.

“Did you get it?”

Lei Xier looked at the frenzied Xu Xiaoshou, feeling worried yet expectant, fearful yet nervous, and cautiously asked, “How much did you take?”

“Just a little.”

Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand and rattled off a string of words:

“No time to explain! The Saint Emperor Dragon Scale is going crazy now. Hurry and hide in the Yuan Mansion.”

“Little white cat! No stealing food! If you dare touch a single sacred medicine, I’ll swallow even your cat hair later!”

Greedy God’s white fur bristled.

“Meow!”

*How much did you actually take?*

Lei Xier fell silent.

She felt even more strongly that Xu Xiaoshou’s state was off, as if he needed a major purification using the cleansing power of the Divine Demon Eye.

Too crazy!

But Xu Xiaoshou didn’t even dare to waste another word or delay for a moment longer.

He took Lei Xier’s hand with his left, picked up the little fat cat with his right, then opened the Yuan Mansion channel and threw them both inside.

“Disappearing Act!”

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry...

Void Attendant, I truly apologize to you!

But please, please, don’t find me! Please!

Miracle Forest.

A giant foot stomped down, and bloody figures flew.

Dragon-Subduing Hand Hong was a standard body cultivator, and his escape techniques were truly inferior to Shuangdai’s, who was a killer.

Having run for so long, he hadn’t even managed to escape the Miracle Forest.

And Hong Dang, covered in wounds and blood, with holy power gushing from his various injuries, was now completely deranged.

“I can’t die, I can’t die.”

“I just swallowed the Sacred Miracle Fruit; I am the foremost Grand Void beneath a Half-Saint. How can I die here?”

“I want to challenge the Eight Venerables, I want to tear that wretched Rao Yaoyao’s dress to shreds, I want to trample Teng Shanping underfoot and toy with him like a rag doll!”

“I want! I want!”

“But...”

“Shuangdai, ahhhhh—I will, I absolutely will, kill you!!!”

With dragon soul possession, Hong Dang, ten zhang tall, was clearly like a small giant who could dominate most Grand Voids in the Holy Divine Continent, kicking them around like soccer balls.

Yet at this moment, he had become the soccer ball, tumbling and scrambling like a dog under the feet of the three-hundred-zhang Void Attendant.

“Three zhang, hahahaha...”

Another kick came, Hong Dang’s body exploded, only to be pulled back together to its limit by the holy power.

He clutched his head, grabbed his popped-out eyeball and shoved it back in, continuously piecing together his mangled body.

“Three zhang!”

“Go to hell with your three zhang!”

“Shuangdai, ahhhhh—you cursed beast, I have no past grievances or recent animosity with you, how could you play with me like this!”

Another kick sent Hong Dang exploding like a lump of mud.

The Void Attendant stood with arms crossed, its eyes filled with amusement as it watched the soccer ball below explode and heal repeatedly.

It had truly witnessed human greed.

If he had just let go of that Sacred Miracle Fruit, he would have survived and wouldn’t be chased anymore.

But for everyone who got the fruit, the first... no, the *only* choice was to eat it!

The Void Attendant silently watched the scene below, feeling it was utterly absurd.

Which was more important, life or opportunity?

Weren’t so-called opportunities meant to preserve one’s life, chosen to be seized only to live a better life?

Eating sacred medicine, gaining a miserable death...

Wasn’t this directly contrary to the purpose these guys had before stealing the medicine?

“Sometimes, I really don’t understand humans.”

The Void Attendant kicked again and again, wanting to play this soccer ball to death.

It enjoyed this amusing activity after countless years of peace.

Of course, it would be even better if another Void Island sinner showed up at this moment.

It could issue a task, watch humans fight, then reward a few stones, and receive reverence and trepidation.

Humans, utterly defeated!

“But why does this human keep saying ‘Shuangdai’?”

The Void Attendant kicked again, its large head displaying a small hint of confusion.

It had only recently fallen asleep before being disturbed, and it didn’t think another thousand or ten thousand years had passed, right? So, it vaguely remembered that Shuangdai was the name of the person killed by the previous Number 800820.

“The person is already dead, so this human is hating a dead person?”

“Perhaps it’s an old grudge, an enmity formed outside Void Island.”

The Void Attendant didn’t think much of it.

As soon as it thought about issuing a task, it naturally recalled that little giant, Number 800820.

Nostalgia...

How interesting would it be if that sinner transformed into a small giant again, came to accept the task, and killed this human?

Alas, as it said during their farewell, they would never meet again.

Because after witnessing its combat power, no human would ever again covet even a single weed in the Shennong Medicinal Garden it guarded!

“I’m done playing. Since no other Void Island sinners are coming, I’ll compose myself and go back to sleep.”

Thinking this, the Void Attendant stopped kicking the intruder underfoot like a soccer ball. Instead, it reached out and grabbed the human who was still desperately patching up his tattered body.

“Ahhhhh—”

Hong Dang was still roaring.

He hated!

He hated Shuangdai, hated the Void Attendant, and absolutely hated this merciless world!

“You are very loud.”

A scarlet eye of the Void Attendant drew close, buzzing as it spoke with a thunderous volume that nearly shattered Hong Dang’s eardrums.

“Huh?”

At that instant, Hong Dang froze.

“You can talk?”

“You can communicate?”

His eyes suddenly widened as he remembered that in order to escape, he had nearly exhausted his lifespan, clinging to life only by the medicinal power of the Sacred Miracle Fruit.

And now, the Void Attendant was just telling him this.

So, it turned out they could communicate.

Then, what was the point of my running?

“Ah—”

Hong Dang wanted to cover his head, but his hands were clamped tightly, so he could only roar helplessly.

“If I had known you could talk earlier, I would have told you the truth directly! How could you chase me?!”

“Human, you are the loudest human I have ever met.”

The Void Attendant rarely spoke so much, simply because it had never encountered such a noisy fellow. Had this person cultivated his entire life just to master the skill of shouting?

“Idiot! You idiot!”

“How could you only speak to me now, after all this time...?”

Hong Dang shook his head, blood-tinged tears streaming down.

He couldn’t defeat the Void Attendant, but with his lifespan nearing its end, he was willing to die just to mock the giant one last time.

“Hmph, *spit*!”

He spat a thick glob of phlegm, splattering it onto the Void Attendant’s scarlet eye, and Hong Dang burst into maniacal laughter.

“Ah ha ha ha—”

“You idiot, you truly are stupid!”

“You muscle-bound simpleton... don’t you know you shouldn’t have been chasing me? You fell for Shuangdai’s ploy to lure the tiger from the mountain; your home was stolen!”

The Void Attendant was enraged.

It hadn’t expected this human to insult it with such a weak physical attack right before dying.

“Die.”

Its right hand gripped Hong Dang’s body, and its left hand extended, directly seizing the human’s head.

“Kill me, kill me, ha ha ha ha...”

“Kill me!”

Hong Dang’s eyes were bloodshot: “But your Shennong Medicinal Garden, if nothing goes wrong, is gone too!”

The Void Attendant wouldn’t normally trust humans’ words, but at this moment, it suddenly had a bad premonition.

Luring the tiger from the mountain?

Home was stolen?

What did this mean? The Void Attendant didn’t quite understand.

But the phrase “Shennong Medicinal Garden is gone” was very straightforward; it understood that.

“You, what are you saying?” the Void Attendant asked.

“Heh heh ha ha ha...” Hong Dang sneered, no longer wanting to explain.

His fate was sealed; he couldn’t survive. So, he used all his remaining strength for a final, hoarse roar: “I said, you’re a complete idiot! A fool whose brain rotted in the medicinal garden! An unparalleled... absolute piece of trash!”

“Roar!”

The Void Attendant let out a low growl, utterly enraged.

But before it could twist off the human’s head, through its senses, its Shennong Medicinal Garden... was gone!

Vanished without a trace!

So abruptly!

Even a single weed that grew alongside them had completely disappeared!

“ROAR——”

The Void Attendant’s eyes instantly burst with bloody light, and with a forceful squeeze of its right hand, it accidentally crushed Hong Dang’s body.

At this moment, it seemed to finally understand what the guy had meant earlier by “luring the tiger from the mountain” and “home was stolen.”

But...

“Im-pos-si-ble!”

The Void Attendant became terrified, its entire body exuding murderous aura.

It angrily leaped up, stepping into space, intending to return to the Shennong Medicinal Garden to investigate.

Poor Hong Dang, whose body was crushed, wasn’t quite dead yet. His head was still in the Void Attendant’s left hand, laughing maniacally.

“Hahahaha, so mad?”

“You piece of trash, why didn’t you speak earlier? Are you mute?”

“If you had spoken earlier, how in the world would I have... ended up in such a miserable state? *Pfft*!”

“You should’ve gone back to check earlier, ha ha *cough cough cough*... But looking at your reaction, so agitated, you finally figured it out, didn’t you? Your home is gone! Hahahahaha...”

The Void Attendant was already furious, and at that moment, it decisively crushed the noisy head.

Grand Void, Dragon-Subduing Hand Hong Dang, dead!

One step, two steps, three steps...

The Shennong Medicinal Garden’s barrier was still there, the channel was still there, but the medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy had all vanished.

At this moment, the Void Attendant, who had quickly returned outside the medicinal garden, trembled.

It stomped through the barrier protecting the Shennong Medicinal Garden, and as far as its gaze could reach... there was nothing!

“The medicine!”

“My medicine!”

The Void Attendant felt its vision go black, its body swayed, and it nearly collapsed from sheer rage.

So, these treacherous humans had emptied the Shennong Medicinal Garden it had guarded for tens of millions of years, using the life of one accomplice?

—There wasn’t even a single herb left in sight; only the Void Attendant’s bed, widened thousands of times over, and an endless, three-hundred-zhang deep pit remained!

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The Void Attendant clenched its fists, angrily bowing and roaring several times at the deep pit.

It was furious!

It was enraged!

It hated!

“Who was it?!”

Such a crime deserved to be punished by a thousand cuts.

If that still didn’t kill them, they could be thrown into the inner island prison, to be confined for life!

But...

The Void Attendant didn’t even know who had emptied the garden, what they looked like, or what their general aura was like... it knew absolutely nothing!

“ROAR——”

The Void Attendant was enraged.

It was born to exist for the Shennong Medicinal Garden.

Now that its object of protection was gone, what was the Void Attendant to live for?

“Humans!”

“Treacherous humans!”

“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!”

With a bend of its knees, the enraged Void Attendant shot up into the endless sky with a *bang*.

At that instant, it looked down from above, taking in the entire Miracle Forest.

No matter who the thief was, with the Shennong Medicinal Garden emptied, they would undoubtedly carry the scent of the spiritual herbs. And as long as Void Island didn’t open its gates, the thief couldn’t escape.

Therefore, by following the scent of the spiritual herbs, it could find the true culprit!

But!

Before that!

As far as its eyes could see, there were still so many humans daring to roam within the Miracle Forest...

“Because of your accomplice’s crime.”

The Void Attendant roared, its eyes bloodshot, simultaneously declaring: “All humans shall perish with it!”

The Miracle Forest...

No, all invaders and sinners on Void Island.

Now, all of them must die!

“ROAR!!!”
