Chapter 549 Overwhelming Murderous Intent!
Lin Batian was looking in the direction where Yang Chuyu was standing!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Batian grabbed the Great Restoration Pill that was emitting a faint white glow and tossed it in Yang Chuyu’s direction.
The Great Restoration Pill flew through the air, releasing an even more enchanting medicinal fragrance.
Everyone in the great hall coveted it immensely.
The Great Restoration Pill stopped in front of Yang Chuyu, floating in mid-air.
“Senior Sister Yang, quickly take it, otherwise someone else will snatch it!”
Smelling the overwhelming fragrance, Ke’er excitedly said.
Yang Chuyu glanced at Lin Batian in the distance, but Lin Batian pointed at Fang Yu who was standing among the crowd nearby.
“Senior Sister, hurry and take it!” Ke’er urged when she saw Yang Chuyu still standing there in a daze.
“I cannot…” Yang Chuyu said.
“Oh come on! What do you mean you cannot!” Ke’er directly reached out her hand, grabbed the Great Restoration Pill, and forcefully placed it in Yang Chuyu’s hand.
“Ke’er, you…” Yang Chuyu’s face showed urgency.
“Senior Sister, this is a Great Restoration Pill! He said he’s giving it to you, so just accept it.” Ke’er said.
Yang Chuyu held the warm Great Restoration Pill and looked toward Lin Batian and Fang Yu in the distance, her beautiful eyes flickering with unusual light.
Who exactly were these two?
With the Great Restoration Pill given away just like that, people in the great hall let out a sigh.
But at the same time, they all had the same thought.
They must get acquainted with Lin Batian later.
This level of alchemist was rare even in the entire Nine Provinces Country, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
And on the second floor of the great hall, the group of Wancao Sect elders who had been observing all along now stared at Lin Batian with fervent eyes.
If they could recruit Lin Batian into the Wancao Sect…
“Here, returning your furnace and storage pouch to you.” Lin Batian grabbed these two items and tossed them toward the platform.
Elder Yuqing didn’t react in time and was hit by these two objects.
“Sorry about that,” Lin Batian said.
“It’s fine, it’s fine…” Elder Yuqing picked up the storage pouch and furnace from the ground, speaking humbly.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Batian as if looking at a deity.
Not to mention the Great Restoration Pill, just the visibly seventh-grade or higher pill flame was worthy of his worship!
The Seventh Elder, standing at the side of the platform, recalled his earlier difficulties with Lin Batian and Fang Yu, and besides feeling fearful in retrospect, his cheeks also burned with shame.
Just now he thought Lin Batian was here to cause trouble… unexpectedly, he was truly a master!
Regardless, he still needed to control the proceedings.
“Uh… our alchemy competition will continue… next we have…” the Seventh Elder announced.
The alchemist whose name was called turned purple with embarrassment.
After Lin Batian’s alchemy demonstration, what face did he have to show his skills on stage when he hadn’t even cultivated a pill flame?
For a moment, the scene became awkward, the atmosphere frozen.
“Even with opponents of this level, you still need to go out and show off. Is that really enjoyable?” Fang Yu couldn’t help but ask.
“Believe me, this time I truly didn’t intend to steal the spotlight…” Lin Batian said, “But you should know, I began my cultivation through the path of alchemy, so how could I bear to watch such poor performances from these so-called alchemists…”
“This is the last time. Don’t cause any more trouble. We have important matters to attend to in the Eastern Capital,” Fang Yu warned.
Whether searching for Xiao Chen or potential remnants of the Purple Flame Palace, exposing their identities too early would only bring disadvantages.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention just now was on Lin Batian, with few people noticing Fang Yu.
“It’s fine. If we don’t want to be exposed, we can simply disguise ourselves again. Let’s go out for a while,” Lin Batian winked at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu understood Lin Batian’s meaning.
At this point, appearing with different appearances seemed to be the better choice.
So, with movement skills that defied detection, the two left the crowd without anyone noticing.
Qin Lang watched these two leave with a puzzled expression.
After about two minutes, two people squeezed back into the crowd, standing in front of Qin Lang.
These two had similar builds but completely different faces.
One had a rugged and fierce appearance with a thick beard covering his face.
The other had handsome features, fair skin, like a refined young gentleman.
“How about it? Can’t recognize us, right?” The gentleman looked at Qin Lang, waving a paper fan in his hand, smiling.
“Are you… Mr. Lin?” Qin Lang asked in surprise.
“Yes, for the convenience of our upcoming actions, we’ll appear in these forms from now on. In public places, try to act as if you don’t know us,” the bearded man turned to Qin Lang and said.
“Are you… Mr. Fang?” Qin Lang was even more surprised.
“This appearance is not bad, right?” Lin Batian said with a grin.
“Uh… not bad,” Qin Lang answered.
…
The alchemy competition continued.
Due to Lin Batian’s intervention, the atmosphere of the entire alchemy competition instantly became strange.
The alchemists demonstrating on stage lacked confidence and performed listlessly.
The audience below was equally disinterested.
This was only natural.
After witnessing the Great Restoration Pill, who would want to see some minor Spirit Gathering Pill?
“This alchemy competition has been ruined by that master just now,” several elders on the second floor remarked quietly.
However, even with the cold atmosphere, the demonstrations had to continue.
The people below also didn’t dare to disrespect the Wancao Sect, so they all stayed.
“Boring. Shouldn’t we leave now?” Lin Batian asked Fang Yu beside him.
Fang Yu also felt it would be difficult to find clues about Xiao Chen at the alchemy competition.
Just as Fang Yu was about to speak, his brows furrowed.
A tremendous killing intent came from behind.
Something was happening!
Fang Yu and Lin Batian exchanged glances and turned to look at the entrance.
Several figures flashed at the entrance.
Sixteen people in total, all wearing black robes with the character ‘Luo’ on their chests.
These people were all martial artists, all at the Martial Venerable realm or above, forming an extremely powerful lineup.
“Where is Yu Tianming!?” the man at the front of the team shouted in a hoarse voice.
His voice was amplified with true energy, extremely powerful!
Ordinary people who weren’t prepared had their eardrums hurt by this shout!
The crowd in the great hall turned around in alarm to see these sixteen black-robed martial artists.
The Seventh Elder on the platform reacted quickly, leaping down to stand in front of the sixteen black-robed warriors.
“This is the Wancao Sect! What do you want!?” the Seventh Elder asked with a grim face.
“I am Luo Yang, and I’m looking for that old dog Yu Tianming!” the man at the front said through gritted teeth.
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with killing intent.
The fifteen martial artists behind him were the same!
Such intense killing intent made the people in the great hall behind them feel terrified.
“These martial artists are from the Luo family, and the one in front is the head of the Luo family, Luo Yang!”
Most people in the great hall were from the Eastern Capital and had some understanding of the hatred between the Luo and Yu families.
However, in the past dozen years, though the two families had constant minor conflicts, there had never been a situation where one directly confronted the other like this!
Judging by the Luo family’s momentum, they were out for blood!
Something major must have happened!
Although the people present were somewhat fearful, they were also extremely curious.
Both the Yu family and the Luo family were top-tier families. A conflict between them would be quite a spectacle!
“Master Luo, if you have business with Master Yu, you can find him at the Yu residence. Why intrude into our Wancao Sect hall?” Several Wancao Sect elders from the second floor descended and stood in front of Luo Yang.
“I know that old dog is here! I just want to find him and have no ill intentions toward the Wancao Sect!” Luo Yang said coldly.
“But Master Luo, you have already forcibly entered our Wancao Sect hall, violating our rules here,” Elder Wanding from the medicinal path frowned and said.
Luo Yang’s breathing was heavy as he suppressed the killing intent and rage in his chest.
He had just received news at his family home that when Luo Teng went to Qiankun Mountain yesterday, the Yu siblings’ team was also there!
Luo Teng had no mortal enemies in Xiang City, and only the deeply resentful Yu family would do something like killing and burning a corpse!
After learning this news, Luo Yang lost all reason.
He heard that Yu Tianming had brought the Yu siblings to the Wancao Sect, so he directly led the family elites to kill them.
Now he wanted nothing but to kill Yu Tianming and his children to avenge the tragic death of Luo Teng!
For this, he was willing to offend the Wancao Sect if necessary!
