Long Xiaoyao's Night Visit
Chapter 384 Long Xiaoyao's Night Visit
After Feng Tiancheng finished speaking, all the Gu Kings in the audience turned their eyes to Long Xiaoyao with meaningful expressions.
"Humph! As a fourth-grade alchemist, can't you recognize the Nine Netherworld Fire?"
"Only Patriarch Fentian has the Nine Netherworld Fire. Patriarch Fentian is the tenth most wanted demon cultivator, and he is wanted worldwide."
"Everyone has the responsibility to eliminate demons and uphold justice. Why can't my Long family enforce justice?"
"Just because he's a contestant, we can't touch him? What's the logic behind this?" Long Xiaoyao instantly thought of what to say and said righteously.
Feng Tiancheng cursed inwardly for being cunning. It was clear that Long Xiaoyao was the one who assassinated him first, but he discovered that the assassin was Patriarch Fentian later.
Otherwise, he would never have sent ten Dragon Gu Kings to die.
Just when Feng Tiancheng wanted to fight back, Long Xiaoyao did not give him a chance and said again: "Speaking of Patriarch Fentian, I would like to ask you something."
"Ancestor Fentian's surname is Feng, and he was born in your Feng clan. You dared to collude with Ancestor Fentian in order to win the bet. You are really brave."
"Ancestor Fentian secretly learned the unique secrets of each clan, and everyone is willing to kill him. Aren't you afraid of incurring public anger?"
"Ancestor Fentian is on Guhuang City's must-kill list. Do you Feng clan not even take Guhuang City seriously?"
Long Xiaoyao asked loudly, deliberately letting everyone hear. At this time, all the onlookers looked at Feng Tiancheng with strange eyes.
"You're talking nonsense!" Feng Tiancheng's face changed drastically, and he pointed at Long Xiaoyao's nose and shouted angrily: "Don't slander me, when did we collude with Patriarch Fentian? You have to provide evidence when you speak!"
"How do we know why Patriarch Fentian appeared in the arena? Our Feng clan didn't invite him. He came here on his own. What does he have to do with our Feng clan?"
Feng Tiancheng's face was dark. He thought he could use this incident to damage the reputation of the Long family, but he didn't expect that Long Xiaoyao would outwit him.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will incur public outrage and may even offend Guhuang City.
He realized the seriousness of the problem and said immediately: "Everyone has the responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way. Anyone can kill the Burning Heaven Ancestor. Now that he has appeared in the territory of the Tianfeng Empire, we naturally cannot ignore it."
"In order to prove our innocence, my Feng clan has begun to organize people to encircle and suppress the Burning Heaven Ancestor."
"My Feng clan is willing to provide twenty Gu Kings. Who else is willing to participate in this demon-killing mission?"
After these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, and no one responded for a long while.
Everyone knows about the great reputation of Patriarch Fentian. The Guhuang City has organized a large number of people to encircle and suppress him many times but failed to kill him. How could they just kill him if they want to?
If they really had the power to kill Old Ancestor Fentian, then Old Ancestor Fentian would not have come here at all.
Since he dared to go to Tianfeng City alone to participate in the alchemy competition, he must be absolutely sure of getting out of it safely.
Qin Shang finally broke his long silence and sighed, "Although this alchemy competition has attracted enough Gu Kings to launch a demon-slaying order at any time, the Burning Sky Patriarch cannot be killed by sheer numbers."
"He has three great heavenly fires, namely the Nine Netherworld Fire ranked 31st, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Fire ranked 29th, and the Exterminating Living Beings Flame ranked 25th."
"Once the three great heavenly fires are released, the high temperatures generated are not something any Gu King can withstand."
"Under the high temperature, all the Gu Kings will retreat. Even if there are 10,000 Gu Kings, no one can get close to him. What's the use of having more people in front of the three sky fires?"
"The only one who can kill him is a strong person of the same level who can restrain him, such as the Gu King who carries Tianshui. If there is no means to restrain him, no matter how many Gu Kings come, it will be useless."
“That’s right!” Wang Hu said solemnly, “Ancestor Fentian was also afraid of the Gu Kings carrying the Heavenly Water in Gu Emperor City, so he blew up all the teleportation arrays, making it impossible for the Gu Kings who could restrain him to appear here in a short time.”
"Once the teleportation array connecting to the Central Region is destroyed, he is now invincible here."
"We are seeking death if we organize people to surround and kill him. We must not anger him now, nor can we disqualify him from the competition. Otherwise, once he gets angry, we will not be able to handle him."
As soon as this was said, there was silence.
Long Xiaoyao glanced at Feng Tiancheng sideways. How could he not see that Feng Tiancheng was sure that the human wave tactic could not kill the Old Ancestor Fentian, and no one dared to deal with the Old Ancestor Fentian, so he dared to initiate the demon-killing mission.
Since no one is participating in the demon-killing mission, the demon-killing mission will naturally come to nothing, and Feng's Gu King will not suffer any losses.
"Okay, stop acting. You're saying this because you're sure that this demon-killing mission won't be organized."
"When the law enforcement officers from Guhuang City come, I hope your words can fool them."
Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, and the Long clan Gu cultivator behind him took the corpse on the ground and left.
The other Gu Kings who were watching the fun felt a little heavy-hearted. They no longer wanted to watch the fun and left one after another.
Many Gu Kings were afraid that they would be involved in the task of dealing with the Burning Heaven Ancestor, so they left overnight.
The name of the Burning Heaven Ancestor actually frightened all the Gu Kings...
……
In the inn, Long Xuan was about to fall asleep when an uninvited guest came outside.
Looking at the old man who suddenly jumped in from the window, Long Xuan was a little dazed. After seeing who it was, he perked up and said respectfully: "It turns out to be Senior Long. I wonder if Senior Long has anything important to tell me to do by visiting you so late at night?" Long Xiaoyao looked a little tired. Looking at the neither humble nor arrogant genius of the Long family in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction, with appreciation in his eyes.
"I think you should know what happened outside. Yes, our Long clan organized people to assassinate Feng Jiu, but the assassination failed."
"I can now tell you with certainty that the man is the Tenth-ranked Fentian Patriarch on the wanted list, a genuine fourth-grade alchemist."
"Now Long's hope of victory lies with you. Are you sure you can defeat him?"
Hearing this, Long Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. You asked a third-grade alchemist if he was sure of defeating a fourth-grade alchemist. Isn't this just asking nonsense? What are you thinking?
He sighed inwardly, as expected, that Fengjiu was indeed a fourth-rank alchemist, and he was right to be cautious.
Long Xuan sighed and said helplessly: "Senior, you are joking. He is a fourth-grade alchemist. If I, a third-grade alchemist, say that I am sure to defeat him, I am afraid you will not believe it, right?"
Long Xiaoyao nodded and said bitterly: "Of course I don't believe it, but there is still hope of winning."
"Any strong person is arrogant. If the Gu King were to compete with a Gu cultivator at the Spiritual Sea stage, he would definitely suppress his realm to the Spiritual Sea stage to fight him. He would never bully others by relying on his realm to crush them."
"The same is true for alchemists, especially the number one in the alchemy field. Patriarch Fentian is arrogant. He will definitely not bully others by refining a fourth-grade pill when competing with a third-grade alchemist. He will definitely refine a third-grade pill in the competition."
"He didn't use the power of a fourth-grade alchemist in the first two rounds. That says it all."
"What I mean is, if he doesn't refine the fourth-grade elixir, how confident are you that you can defeat him!"
Long Xiaoyao looked at him with a very serious gaze, his eyes full of anticipation.
Long Xuan gave a bitter smile. This was a bit of self-deception. How could he hope that his opponent would show mercy?
Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, what if there is more than one fourth-grade alchemist in the competition? Will he still suppress the realm in the competition?
What's more, the stakes of this match between Long and Feng are really too high. Whether it's life or face, any smart person will know what to choose.
In his opinion, once he pushed the old ancestor Fentian into a corner, unless he was a fool, he would definitely refine a fourth-grade elixir.
"If Patriarch Fentian doesn't refine the fourth-grade elixir, I am sure I can defeat him."
Long Xuan did not express his opinion, so as not to make Long Xiaoyao despair and do something irrational again.
"very good!"
Long Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and his tired eyes finally had a luster. He slowly took out a storage ring from his finger and threw it to him, saying seriously:
"The rules for the third round are that all contestants must enter Feng's medicine world to collect herbs."
"The Medicine World is a small world that was shattered during the war between the gods. It is very large and filled with spiritual medicines. It is controlled solely by the Feng family."
"The Tianfeng Empire's national treasure, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, is planted in the Medicine World."
"All contestants can freely pick spiritual herbs from the ground when they enter the medicine world for three days. Contestants must refine spiritual pills based on the spiritual herbs they have collected. The more valuable the spiritual pills they refine, the higher the score they will get."
"I'm sure you've already guessed the key to victory. Although there are many spiritual medicines in the medicine world, rare spiritual medicines are definitely limited. Only rare spiritual medicines can be used to refine spiritual pills with higher value."
"Finding rare spiritual medicines requires luck, and the spiritual medicines that each person can collect are also uncontrollable. This requires the contestants to have enough collections of pill recipes so that they can make pills no matter what spiritual medicine they collect."
"If you don't have enough pill recipes, you may not be able to refine any pills at this level, and end up getting zero points."
"This storage ring contains a huge amount of recipes for elixirs. They are my lifelong collection. Both recipes that can be taught and those that cannot be taught are all in it."
"If you have a photographic memory, you must memorize all the recipes as quickly as possible. You only have three days."
"Whether the Long family can win this gambling game depends entirely on you. Don't let me down." Long Xiaoyao looked at him very seriously.
Upon hearing that this storage ring contained Long Xiaoyao's life's collection, Long Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement.
He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Long Xiaoyao was the number one alchemist in the Long family, and his collection of alchemy recipes was amazing.
The wealth in this storage ring is priceless. It will provide him with a vast amount of inspiration when he creates his own pill recipes, enough to benefit him for the rest of his life.
Long Xuan tightly grasped the storage ring, suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his head and asked again: "The rules of the third round are to enter a small world to collect spiritual medicine."
"In this case, wouldn't the alchemists with farsightedness be at an advantage? I'm afraid this rule is not fair to the alchemists without pupil Gu, right?"
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and explained patiently: "After entering the medicine world, all alchemists will lose all their abilities. Except for their strength being greater than that of ordinary people, they will be no different from ordinary people."
"The ability of farsightedness cannot be used in the medicine world, and the ability of soul perception cannot be used either."
"The reason for this rule is to prevent contestants from slaughtering other contestants in order to plunder more spiritual medicines."
"People are always the most dangerous thing anywhere. If we don't seal the abilities of every contestant, then it would be good if 100 of the 400 contestants who enter the medicine world can come out alive."
"Those who make it to the third round are the most talented alchemists in the entire Western Region. Not a single one can be lost."
"It would be totally unworthy if a large number of alchemy geniuses from the Western Region were to be killed in a match."
