Chapter 592: The Cult Leader Bows His Head!
Outside the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance stood two groups of people, one from the Fire Dragon Sect and the other from the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance. Huo Yuner and You Ruo were among them.
To be honest, they still couldn’t believe what was happening. Their Sect Leader and Alliance Leader had actually come to apologize. To apologize to Lin Xuan. This realization came as a staggering blow to them.
Inside the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, the members were also exclaiming in shock. "What? They really came to apologize?"
The Tower Master, however, was not surprised. He explained, "It’s quite normal. Neither Qingyou nor Situ Hang are ordinary nine-star Grandmasters. In addition to that status, they have an even more precious identity: that of a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. The standing of a fourth-grade Alchemy Master is so distinguished that neither the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance nor the Fire Dragon Sect can afford to lose one. So, no matter how unwilling the Fire Dragon Sect Leader and the others are, they would still come to apologize."
Lin Xuan naturally understood this as well. He nodded and said, "Let them in!"
Soon, the people from the Fire Dragon Sect and the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance walked inside.
The Fire Dragon Sect Leader said with a beaming smile, "Young Master Lin, the previous incident was all a misunderstanding. This is a small token of our apology from the Fire Dragon Sect. I insist that Young Master Lin accepts it."
After speaking, he took out a Storage Ring. With a shake of the ring, a large quantity of Spirit Medicines flew out, piling up into a small mountain.
The surrounding people gasped in astonishment. "So many!"
On the other side, the Jiuyou Alliance Leader also produced a pile of Spirit Medicines. Everyone watched, dumbfounded. The onlookers were all Alchemy Masters, so they knew exactly what these Spirit Medicines represented. This was the kind of treasure that would drive any alchemist into a frenzy upon seeing it.
Lin Xuan was also extremely excited. With so many Spirit Medicines, I can perform alchemy again and raise my cultivation.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Cauldron flew out, rapidly enlarging before him. Then, with a flick of his hand, he inverted the cauldron’s mouth, and two figures tumbled out from within.
It was Situ Xing and Qingyou.
At that moment, both were disheveled, their bodies charred black, looking utterly wretched.
Everyone gasped in surprise at the sight. The Fire Dragon Sect Leader’s eyelids twitched, and the Jiuyou Alliance Leader’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
As for You Ruo and Huo Yuner, they were shocked into silence. Such powerful nine-star Grandmasters were tortured so miserably? Is this Lin Xuan’s true strength? They trembled with fear, nearly fainting on the spot.
Nearby, Ouyang Aotian was so terrified he almost wet himself. He swore that he would never, ever offend Lin Xuan again for the rest of his life.
Afterward, the Fire Dragon Sect and the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance departed, taking Situ Xing and Qingyou with them. The news of this event spread like wildfire.
In an instant, the world was shaken.
"What? The Fire Dragon Sect Leader really went to their door to apologize!"
"Heavens! The leader of the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance went too!"
"They actually offered compensation and apologized to Lin Xuan!"
It was madness. At that moment, everyone was in an uproar. Those Martial Artists who previously disbelieved were now utterly dumbfounded, feeling as if they had been slapped in the face.
"Hahaha! I told you all long ago, Young Master Lin is beyond anything you can imagine!" some of the others laughed heartily.
"Just who in the world is this Young Master Lin?"
Everyone grew intensely curious and began to investigate the identity of Young Master Lin.
「Elsewhere.」
The Tower Master had also learned about the situation inside the Treasure Tower, and he was astounded. He had never imagined that Lin Xuan actually possessed two Anomalous Fires. It was truly unbelievable, too heaven-defying! It was said that even an Alchemy King might not be able to obtain a single Anomalous Fire, yet Lin Xuan, a mere two-star Grandmaster, owned two! Just how lucky could one person be? He was practically the chosen one of the heavens!
Wan Er, the Tianyang Alliance Leader, and the others were equally shocked. They were especially floored when they learned that Lin Xuan had defeated the Fire Dragon on the eighth floor and obtained the Dragon Race’s Treasure. It turned out Lin Xuan had really done it. He was the biggest winner of all!
「Meanwhile.」
Information about Young Master Lin’s identity spread throughout Dragon Island. Everyone soon found out that this alchemical genius, Young Master Lin, was in fact the Young Emperor, Lin Xuan.
"Damn, that’s unbelievable! Not only does Lin Xuan have heaven-defying talent in the Martial Dao, but his talent in the Alchemy Dao is just as incredible! Could this guy really be a Young Emperor? Otherwise, how could he be so formidable?"
At this moment, everyone was in a frenzy.
When the Ye Family received the news, they too were stunned. "What? Lin Xuan is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? Is that true?"
They were completely dumbfounded. Previously, Lin Xuan had told them he was a fourth-grade Alchemy Master, but they hadn’t believed him, thinking he was just bragging. But it turned out he had been telling the truth.
Madam Ye was stupefied.
The Grand Elder was stupefied.
The Second Elder was stupefied.
The entire Ye Family was utterly stupefied.
Ye Ruxue, who was reflecting on her actions in solitude, was also frozen on the spot when she heard the news. So Lin Xuan is that powerful... And I dared to oppose him before. I really was courting death.
At this moment, Lin Xuan’s name once again spread far and wide.
***
Fang Cangsong, of course, also received this news. He clenched his fists tightly. That kid actually obtained the Fire Dragon Pearl. He now has three Dragon Pearls in his possession. Moreover, his strength is growing stronger and stronger. I need to act fast. Otherwise, in a little while, I probably won’t be able to defeat him anymore. No, I must obtain the Demon Artifact as soon as possible. I have to make my move.
Fang Cangsong once again made his way to Dragon Abyss and arrived before the Demon Hall.
He said, "Is the Demon Artifact for me ready? That kid just came out of the Fire Dragon Valley. It’s said he obtained the Dragon Race’s Treasure, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Cauldron. The Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword is also in his hands. Reports say he can already contend with nine-star Grandmasters. If we don’t act now, we might lose our chance."
Inside the Demon Hall, the Demon King’s voice echoed, "What? That brat also obtained the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Cauldron? Could he really be a Dragon Warrior? The existence of Dragon Warriors absolutely cannot be permitted in this world! Fine, I’ll give you a Demon Artifact!"
"Only one Demon Artifact?" Fang Cangsong frowned. His opponent had two powerful treasures. Wasn’t one a little insufficient?
The Demon King snorted coldly. "You know nothing. The Demon Artifact I’m giving you has an extraordinary origin. It’s called the Trapped Dragon Pillar. Once deployed, it can seal all Dragon Dao Power. At that point, the kid’s powers will be sealed, and he won’t be able to use any Martial Arts. Naturally, he won’t be able to wield those two powerful weapons either. He’ll only be able to rely on his Physique to resist. I will give you an incantation. You won’t be affected by the pillar, allowing you to freely use your Martial Arts and weapons. How could you still be afraid of failing to defeat him then?"
So that’s how it worked. Fang Cangsong was ecstatic upon hearing this. He said, "Then hurry and give me the Demon Artifact."
"Very well. However, you will need a month to master this Demon Artifact."
"One month? No problem." Fang Cangsong nodded. Although that kid’s talent was heaven-defying, his strength couldn’t possibly improve by that much in just one short month.
"By the way, there’s one more thing you need to be aware of," the Demon King added. "This Trapped Dragon Pillar can only seal Martial Artists below the King level. If that kid has any Kings protecting him, it’s best you don’t make a move."
"Don’t worry," Fang Cangsong smiled. "There isn’t a single King on all of Dragon Island. How could there possibly be a King around that kid?"
A fierce killing intent flashed in Fang Cangsong’s eyes. Kid, just you wait. In one month, I’ll turn you to smoke and ashes!
