Chapter 928 - The Legend of Chen Beixuan (1/2)
“Is he gone?”
At Danyuan Hall.
Elixir Lord was standing elegantly.
“Yes, Elixir Monarch Chen has left Medicine City with his servant and friends after seeing Miss Qiao Qiao,” Xu Yuan bowed and said.
Dozens of elders of the Alchemy Guild standing on the sides of Danyuan Hall were relieved.
As long as Chen Fan was still in Medicine City, he would be like a sword that floated above their heads. Elder Situ would be in danger.
This time, although the Alchemy Guild had blamed Situ Cheng for everything, the Situ family behind him would definitely be implicated. Elder Situ knew full well about what he had done to Chen Fan during the Alchemy Guild Exam and the Alchemy Battles, so he was afraid that Chen Fan would come back for revenge.
“We gave him seven Heavenly Medicines last time. Together with the ten Heavenly Medicines and a hundred million Spirit Stones this time, the Alchemy Guild might need a few hundred years to get back to normal.”
Elder Chenyan shook his head.
“Elixir Lord, Guild Master, why did we have to surrender? We still have the arrays to protect us. I don’t think Chen Beixuan can break the Heavenly Array Heavenly Lord of Ancient Medicine formed,” an elder said.
Many other elders of the Alchemy Guild also wondered.
As a sect that used to have a Heavenly Lord in the past, they had their pride. Once the Heavenly Array was opened and when the Heavenly Cauldron was awakened, they would easily withstand the attacks from a Heavenly Lord. This was why the Alchemy Guild could survive in the State of Ancient Medicine for thousands of years.
“Even if we can stop him from entering the city, the Alchemy Guild is an alchemist organization after all. We don’t have to fight with anyone. If Chen Beixuan stays outside for three years, would we keep the city locked down for three years?”
Elixir Lord shook his head.
Everyone looked gloomy.
“Besides, Chen Beixuan is already so powerful when he’s still an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator, so what about two centuries later? Who knows if he’ll become a real Heavenly Alchemist? By then, the Alchemy Guild will suffer from the consequences!” Elixir Lord heaved a sigh.
Even Xu Yuan gasped.
Right!
They had only thought about the present, but not the future. A Golden Core Perfected Cultivator should consider a thousand years ahead.
Chen Fan might not be able to break into Medicine City right then, but when he became a real Elixir Monarch or even a Heavenly Alchemist, destroying the Alchemy Guild would be a piece of cake for him.
By then, countless Heavenly Lords would be willing to serve Chen Fan.
“We’re not the ones who should be worrying right now, the seven Heavenly Lord Families are next.”
Then, Elixir Lord cracked a smile.
When news about what happened outside Medicine City was spread…
All the Heavenly Lord Families were in silence. The Hu family, the Feng family, the Nin family, the Taiyi Sect and the Commerce Guild couldn’t believe it. The thirteen Grand Elders were half of the trump cards these families had, but Chen Fan had burned them all to ashes?
An elder of the Hu family, who had a fiery temper, said, “That’s impossible. Not even the top ten elites of the Longevity Roll can do such a thing. Unless Chen Beixuan has already reached the Nascent Soul Level and become a Heavenly Lord!”
“Haha, thousands of cultivators in Medicine City saw that with their very own eyes. How would it be fake?” A white-haired elder sneered.
The fiery elder continued, “According to the intel, Chen Beixuan formed a Heavenly Cauldron with hundreds of Spirit Veins and burned all the Grand Elders to ashes. This is apparently fake. Only a Heavenly Lord can have such a Grand Divine Power. Also, Hu Guimin, Feng Chengzi and the other elders took their Quasi-Heavenly Treasures with them. They should have been able to use the treasures to heal and attack.”
Although a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure wasn’t as powerful as a real Heavenly Treasure, it was made by a Heavenly Lord and had some of the Heavenly Lord’s power. Thirteen Quasi-Heavenly Treasures should have been enough to shatter Medicine City and everything within a thousand mile range.
This was why the Heavenly Lord Families thought they would win.
“It’s useless. When Elder Hu noticed something was wrong, it was too late. Besides, the Quasi-Heavenly Treasures need time to activate, and there wasn’t time for it on the battlefield.”
Hu Yuanshuo, the leader of the Hu family, shook his head.
“So, what should we do?” the fiery elder asked.
This time, even Hu Yuanshuo frowned.
All the elders of the Hu family went silent.
The death of Hu Guimin and the others was a severe blow to the Hu family. Chen Fan even claimed their Quasi-Heavenly Treasure, the “Banner of Banishment,” which was devastating to them, as their Heavenly Lord had only left them four Quasi-Heavenly Treasures back then.
An elder hesitated and wondered, “Has Chen Beixuan really become a Nascent Soul Cultivator?”
“No, how earth-shattering would it be when someone becomes a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord? Even the top ten Heavenly Regions and Mount Emperor in the Sacred Land would have been stirred, let alone the Beihuang Region. The Ancestral Patriarch of the w.a.n.g family would have been the first to know about it. This can’t be hidden from him.”
The white-haired elder, Hu Hekui, shook his head.
He frowned and said in uncertainty, “As for the Divine Power Chen Beixuan used, I’ve heard that there are some Heavenly Arts pa.s.sed down in the historical sects that can be used to control the world. Every one of them is a powerful Grand Divine Power and the core art of a Heavenly Sect. If someone with a Golden Core Body uses them, he will have to pay a heavy price.”
