Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility-Chapter 67 – Moment of life and death
```
"Junior has come to disturb Senior, hoping to ask for a favor." Xue Wuqing remained kneeling on the ground.
"If you're here to ask me to refine pills or engage in some fighting, forget it." Tianfeng Pill King said impatiently.
Wang Ming'ao glanced at him disdainfully. Lately, all sorts of people have been visiting his master, offering treasures, hoping to have pills refined, but all have left empty-handed.
Xue Wuqing shook his head and looked at Tianfeng Pill King, saying, "I want to ask you to let me have the Breakthrough Pill at the auction!"
"I know your financial power, Senior. As long as you make a move, no one else can touch the Breakthrough Pill. But compared to you, I need this pill more. If you let me have it, I'll agree to any condition, even offering the entire Fire Cloud Sect."
The first part of Xue Wuqing's words left Tianfeng Pill King unmoved, but the last sentence made his expression change slightly.
Offering the entire Fire Cloud Sect, what does that mean?
Wang Ming'ao also looked at him in surprise.
"Now, the Fire Cloud Sect is just a shell. The elders are all dead, the sect master committed suicide, and besides some uninformed disciples, only I am left." Xue Wuqing said slowly.
"The Fire Cloud Sect is already in name only. If I wish, even if I dismantle the entire sect, no one would say anything."
Tianfeng Pill King was immediately moved and asked in shock, "What happened to the Fire Cloud Sect?"
Xue Wuqing smiled bitterly, "A few days ago, that person came, broke the Fire Cloud Formation, killed all the elders, and took away all the valuable things from the Fire Cloud Sect. The sect master, overwhelmed with anger and humiliation, finally committed suicide."
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, both Tianfeng Pill King and Wang Ming'ao gasped.
This is too ruthless!
One person, single-handedly, wiped out two of the four major sects, and it is said that person's strength is only at the Qi Condensing Realm.
That person, being a fourth-grade alchemist, could have recruited an army to destroy the Fire Cloud Sect, which would have made more sense. But he relied solely on schemes and endless tactics to render the two major sects defenseless.
Such a person is truly extraordinary.
"Pill King Senior, that person is also a beast tamer. The demon beasts our sect was hunting before are his subordinates." Xue Wuqing continued.
Tianfeng Pill King's expression became serious, as if he had thought of something.
"A beast tamer and an alchemist, if given the chance, I'd like to meet that Xiao fellow, recruit him under my wing, and pass on my legacy. Unfortunately, the Beast Taming Sect..."
Tianfeng Pill King thought to himself, letting out a meaningful sigh.
Tianfeng Pill King looked at Wang Ming'ao and said calmly, "Although the Fire Cloud Sect is just an empty shell, the remaining thousands of disciples are valuable. Ming'ao, I'll leave the Fire Cloud Sect to you."
Wang Ming'ao's eyes lit up, and he thanked repeatedly, "Thank you, Master!"
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
Xue Wuqing also looked pleasantly surprised, which meant Tianfeng Pill King agreed.
"Xue Wuqing, I'll accept this gift, but I only promise not to interfere. Whether you can win the bid is not my concern."
"Thank you, Senior. As long as you don't intervene, I'm determined to get it!" Xue Wuqing said with firm eyes.

Time passed day by day.
People from all over Tianfeng Kingdom arrived in Fire Cloud City. After patiently waiting, the seven days finally arrived, and the pill auction officially began.
On this day, a tide of people quickly gathered at the Qianlong Auction House, filling it to the brim. Among them were some renowned figures, and even nearly ten Innate Experts had arrived.
Wang Ming'ao from the Wang family in the Capital, Xuanyuan Leng from the Xuanyuan family, Tianfeng Pill King, the third prince of the royal family, Han Wuxie, the lord of Fire Cloud City, Yan Tian, the lord of Hidden Poison City, and even a veiled young woman from the most mysterious Saintess Sect of the four major sects had come.
All these people were without exception Innate Experts.
However, strangely, there was no sign of anyone from the Beast Taming Sect.
"Could it be that Qin Feng found some treasure and doesn't care about a fourth-grade pill?" Xuanyuan Leng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Now that two of the four major sects are gone, the Beast Taming Sect is the most prominent. Qin Feng is probably just putting on airs, planning to make a grand entrance." Wang Ming'ao said disdainfully from afar.
A fourth-grade pill would be a treasure for the Wang family, especially the Breakthrough Pill, which could almost create an Innate Expert with just one pill. How could Qin Feng not care?
…………
Outside Fire Cloud City.
Three figures were riding demon beasts, rushing towards Fire Cloud City.
In the middle was a muscular two-meter-tall man, wearing a beast-skin coat, with a necklace made of demon beast teeth hanging around his neck. Each tooth represented a demon king he had hunted.
This man was none other than Qin Feng, the master of the Beast Taming Sect.
Under Qin Feng was a giant demon wolf with fiery red fur, his famous mount, the Blood Wolf King.
Beside him were an elder riding a black panther and a young man riding a white demon wolf, the Grand Elder of the Beast Taming Sect and the core disciple Jiang Hao, respectively.
"Unexpectedly, before we left, the Golden Eagle broke through and became my second demon king mount. Truly, the heavens favor my Beast Taming Sect!" Qin Feng laughed heartily.
"Master, we've delayed for so long, those people might be very displeased." The Grand Elder said.
"Hmph, let them be displeased. In any case, I'm determined to get that pill." Qin Feng snorted coldly.
The three of them rode on their respective demon beasts, moving swiftly.
Suddenly, the Blood Wolf King under Qin Feng seemed to sense something, stopping midway and whimpering at Qin Feng.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feng squinted his eyes, sensing something as well.
In the distant grass, two massive black pythons were quickly slithering away.
"Darn it, we've been discovered by humans!" Da Hei exclaimed.
"Those three riding demon beasts must be from the Beast Taming Sect as the boss mentioned!"
"Run!"
Da Hei and Er Hei fled far away. As demon beasts, they could better sense the strength of other demon beasts' auras. That blood-red-haired wolf was undoubtedly a demon king.
For a demon king to willingly serve as a mount, that two-meter-tall man must be the legendary master of the Beast Taming Sect.
Qin Feng watched the fleeing snakes with interest.
"Just lowly Black Spine Snakes, yet they've grown to thirty meters, reaching the level of fourth-tier Demon Generals. Could they have consumed some heavenly treasure?"
"Master, the Blood Wolf King didn't even release any aura, yet those two snakes fled in panic. Their intelligence must be quite high." The Grand Elder said with a surprised expression, as it was his first time encountering such large Black Spine Snakes.

Qin Feng's interest grew.
He patted the Blood Wolf King beneath him and laughed, "Catch them and let's have a look."
"Roar!"
The Blood Wolf King let out a low growl, transforming into a red lightning bolt, charging towards the two snakes in an instant.
The Blood Wolf King excelled in speed, even among demon kings. In just the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the two snakes.
Da Hei and Er Hei had to stop, their cold eyes fixed on it.
Behind them, the people from the Beast Taming Sect arrived, surrounding Da Hei and Er Hei from front and back.
