Chapter 922 - Question the Culpri (1/2)
He squeezed a smile on his face.
“Elixir Monarch Chen. It’s just a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? Didn’t you say that the Alchemy Guild was not a place for a fraud like me?” Chen Fan said with a crooked smile.
“We have all witnessed your godly Alchemy Art. Everyone in the Beihuang Region knows that you deserve the title of Exalted Cultivator. If anyone dares to question that, the Alchemy Guild will be the first to stand up for you,” Situ Cheng said with zeal and a great measure of righteousness.
“Haha.”
Chen Fan let out a peal of laughter and decided to spare Situ Cheng.
Situ Cheng was too insignificant for him to dirty his hands. He was after the real culprits behind him, the families and sects in the Beihuang Region.
“Senior Chen, where shall we go next?” Mu Hongti asked.
“The Alchemy Guild. I need to thank the elders and the Guild Master for their trust and support.” Chen Fan grinned jeeringly.
Situ Cheng shook a little as a pang of distress flashed across his face.
In the end, he agreed to follow Chen Fan.
The Zhenhai State and the State of Ancient Medicine were tens of thousands of miles away. It took Chen Fan nearly half a month to travel from one to the other. However, on his way back to the State of Ancient Medicine, Chen Fan picked up the pace and was back in a few days.
The Medicine City sizzled with excitement when Chen Fan’s black carriage appeared at the city gate.
By then, nearly everyone had heard of Chen Fan’s battle at Linjiang City. They knew that Chen Fan had killed six great families’ heirs and defeated four Longevity Roll elites.
Why did Chen Fan come back to Medicine City? What did he want?
Boom!
Suddenly, countless ancient dharma arrays appeared inside the city, sending countless jets of energy up into the sky turning the air into colorful liquid. Rays of light beamed out from Alchemist Towers that scattered in the city.
These dharma arrays were set by the Heavenly Lord himself and were extremely powerful. They would ward off the combined attack of eight Quasi-Heavenly Lord’s attacks.
“What a sight. The Alchemy Guild has not used the Mountain Defensive Array ever since it was under siege by the alliance of Feng and the Nin Families.”
“They’re afraid of Chen Beixuan.”
“I would be afraid too. He single handedly defeated four Longevity Roll elites.”
Many people were angered by Chen Fan’s hostility.
Meanwhile, a lot other people furrowed their brows and wondered, “Did he come back to question the guild?”
“What for? The guild stood clear of trouble. If he wants the real culprit, he should go to the Hu family or the Feng Family.”
“I’ve heard otherwise. They said that Situ Cheng denounced him of not being an Elixir Monarch in front of everyone. Maybe that’s why he’s here.”
Jiang Han and Yan Wuwang were floored by the development. They stood at the top of the stone tower, looking up at the sky.
The cloudless sky was filled with cultivators who were ready to defend their city. Their enemy was only one man and he was sitting in a black carriage far away from the city.
“He is going to take on an entire city. Who would have thought that he not only possessed expert alchemy skills, but is also a deadly warrior.”
Jiang Han let out a wry smile. Envy shined in his eyes.
“Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood has taken the world by storm not only due to his alchemy art, but also because of his powerful Wood Element Dharma Spells. You underestimated him.”
Yan Wuwang shook his head.
His words scared many cultivators.
When Chen Fan left Alchemy Guild, everyone treated him politely, but no one was afraid of him. After all, the title of the Elixir Monarch meant nothing.
However, there and then, Chen Fan had returned for revenge after defeating Longevity Roll elites. Not even the most arrogant alchemist would dare to think lightly of him.
Swish!
A light darted into the sky and landed outside of the Dharma Array. Xu Yuan’s body emerged from the light and bowed deeply to the black carriage. He asked with a shocked expression, “Elixir Monarch, what are you doing here?”
No words came out of the carriage. However, Zhao Juexian cracked a cold smile and said from the driver seat, “The Alchemy Guild colluded with the Feng Family and the Hu family to harm my master. How dare you pretend that you’re innocent.”
“Nonsense. The Alchemy Guild has always treated Elixir Lord Chen amiably and respectfully. No one would want to harm him. Stop making up lies and sow discord between us,” Xu Yuan said with a taut face.
“We will know if it’s a lie once we meet Elixir Lord.”
Zhao Juexian shook his head.
