Cheng He finally tore off his last disguise and revealed his purpose of coming to the Lu Clan to look for Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian had already guessed Cheng He's purpose so he was not surprised.
Lu Rui, who was standing at the side, had a strange expression on his face when he heard Cheng He's words.
Others might not know how Duan Lingtian could become a grade one alchemist at such a young age and refine grade one pills with more than 90% Purity.
However, Lu Rui knew about it very well.
Duan Lingtian was a powerful alchemist who had cultivated the Medicine Refinement Dao to its peak in his previous life. Now that he had reincarnated with his memories, he did not have to start over on the Medicine Refinement Dao.
In this life, he was a born Medicine Refinement Master!
As long as his cultivation base was sufficient, he could condense Pill Fire of any grade at any time and become an alchemist of any grade.
"This Cheng He seems to think Elder Duan has some special method to refine pills with more than 90% Purity at such a young age."
As the Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Rui had a clear and wise mind. It was easy for him to guess Cheng He's thoughts.
He knew that Cheng He was simply wasting his efforts.
This was because it was almost impossible for anyone to replicate Elder Duan's method of refining pills with more than 90% Purity.
It was an achievement achieved by a powerful person in the past who had spent his entire life!
"If I don't tell you the method of refining pills with more than 90% Purity … Don't tell me you're going to kill me to silence me?"
Duan Lingtian was not afraid when he heard Cheng He's words. Instead, he asked calmly.
"I will first kill everyone around you that you care about. Then, I will slowly torture you. When you have a mental breakdown, I will kill you!"
Cheng He said coldly as his eyes gleamed coldly.
When Cheng He said this, he looked at Feng Tianwu meaningfully. Duan Lingtian's expression changed immediately.
A dragon had a reverse scale, and those who touched it would die!
Duan Lingtian's reverse scale was none other than the people he cared about around him.
If someone wanted to kill him and he was no match for them, he would accept it without a second thought.
However, he would never allow anyone to kill the people he cared about around him!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He stared at Cheng He coldly and said word by word, "Cheng He, you're playing with fire!"
Playing with fire!
Playing with fire would burn oneself!
There was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian's words meant this.
"Playing with fire?"
Cheng He smiled brightly. "I don't know about other things, but I'm pretty sure I know how to play with fire … I can even control a first-grade elixir fire, let alone an ordinary fire."
When Cheng He reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with disdain. It was as though he was laughing at Duan Ling Tian's words.
"You … Have you made your decision?"
Cheng He's eyes stared at Duan Ling Tian again as his voice gradually turned cold.
"arrogant! You're just a piece of trash who's trying to intimidate others! "
Duan Ling Tian said word by word as he glanced at Cheng He in disdain. His face was filled with disdain.
Every word he said was merciless.
"That won't work on me."
However, Cheng He did not seem to mind Duan Lingtian calling him a piece of trash. Instead, he stared at Duan Lingtian with gleaming eyes.
"You're just trying to infuriate me so that I'll fight with you … Although I don't know how you're so strong at such a young age, I know that I'm not as good as you, so I won't be so stupid as to fall for your trick!"
Cheng He said unhurriedly with an expression that said, "I've seen through you long ago."
Duan Lingtian's expression did not look too good after Cheng He saw through him. However, he seemed to have noticed something. He raised an eyebrow before he recovered.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, three gusts of wind blew into the main hall. Three old figures appeared next to Lu Rui and Duan Lingtian.
They were three old men. One was as round as a ball, one was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the last one had a medium build.
Duan Lingtian was familiar with the three old men.
They were the three Lu Clan's Guardian Elders.
Lu Yuan, Lu Gui, and Lu Zhi.
All three of them were at the Martial Monarch Stage. They were the pillars of the Lu Clan.
"Clan Leader, Elder Duan, Miss Tian Wu."
After the three of them appeared, they greeted Lu Rui, Duan Lingtian, and Feng Tianwu one after another. Then, they looked at Cheng He and Leng Chi who were standing opposite them vigilantly.
They had rushed over as soon as they saw the Clan Leader of Lu Clan crushing the bead that was inscribed with the Induction Inscription.
As the three Lu Clan's Guardian Elders, they knew the current Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Rui very well.
They knew that if Lu Rui hadn't met with some serious or urgent matter, he definitely wouldn't have crushed that pearl on his own accord.
Due to this reason, they rushed over as soon as they could without any hesitation.
Whoosh!
Soon, another gust of wind blew into the hall. Following that, an aged figure appeared. It was an old man with white hair and brows, and he seemed to have a sage-like demeanor.
The sage-like old man stood next to Lu Rui. His face was calm like an ancient well.
"Former Clan Leader."
When the old man appeared, whether it was the Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Rui, or the other three Guardian Elders of Lu Clan, all of them bowed at him respectfully.
The old man was the previous Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Qiu.
"Former Clan Leader? The previous Clan Leader of Lu Clan? "
Duan Lingtian stood at the side. He was slightly shocked. He did not expect the previous Clan Leader of Lu Clan to still be alive. Moreover, he was staying in the Lu Clan.
"The people from the Alchemist Guild are really arrogant! I can't believe they came to our Lu Clan to behave atrociously. "
After Lu Qiu nodded at Lu Rui and the others, he shifted his gaze and glanced at Cheng He and Leng Chi indifferently. There was a hint of anger in his voice.
"I've long heard that the Former Clan Leader is the strongest person in Lu Clan … Now that I've seen you in person, I can see how impressive you are!"
Cheng He forced a smile on his face and greeted Lu Qiu.
However, Lu Qiu ignored him. Instead, he looked at the green-clad middle-aged man, Leng Chi, who was standing next to him.
Whoosh!
Without warning, Lu Qiu made his move. He moved without any warning. It was as though he had transformed into a cannonball that had just left the barrel as he charged toward Leng Chi.
Whoosh!
When Lu Qiu made his move, Leng Chi moved as well. It was as though he had transformed into a cannonball as he charged toward Lu Qiu fearlessly.
At the same time, both of their figures disappeared before the eyes of Duan Lingtian and the others.
Boom!
A loud noise reverberated in the air. Duan Lingtian and the others saw Lu Qiu and Leng Chi separated. Both of them took five steps back before they regained their footing and stared at each other fiercely.
At the instant the two of them separated, waves of vast airwaves swept out in all directions. In just a blink of an eye, it transformed into gusts of violent winds that blew Duan Ling Tian and the others' robes, causing them to flutter loudly.
The Heaven and Earth Energy that had yet to gather into the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon in the air dissipated without a trace.
Everyone present knew very well what had happened.
Although the incident happened in just a blink of an eye, it was obvious that Lu Qiu and Leng Chi had exchanged blows, and it was a draw.
"No wonder you dare to behave atrociously in our Lu Clan … So you're actually so powerful!"
Lu Qiu said as he looked at Leng Chi deeply.
"You're not bad yourself."
Leng Chi's expression was still as cold as ever. However, when he looked at Lu Qiu, a hint of dread could be seen in his eyes.
All of this happened in just a blink of an eye.
The brief exchange between Lu Qiu and Leng Chi ended in a draw.
At this moment, the smile on Cheng He's face completely froze.
Although he knew Lu Qiu, the Former Clan Leader of Lu Clan, was the strongest person in the Lu Clan, he did not expect Lu Qiu to be so powerful. His strength was on par with Leng Chi.
'Damn this Lu Qiu! '
Cheng He cursed in his heart.
Just a little bit more, and his three months of waiting would have been for nothing.
All of this was because of the appearance of the former Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Qiu. If it was not for Lu Qiu, he might have succeeded.
'The Former Clan Leader is indeed worthy of being the strongest person in the Lu Clan. His reputation is well-deserved … Cheng He is impressed. '
Although Cheng He was cursing Lu Qiu in his heart, he said something else with a fake smile on his face from the beginning until the end.
After Lu Qiu appeared, Cheng He realized that he had lost the upper hand. He didn't stay any longer and left with Leng Chi.
"Thank you, Former Clan Leader."
Duan Lingtian regained his senses when he saw Cheng He and Old Man Leng Chi leaving so quickly. He immediately looked at Lu Qiu and thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome, Elder Duan."
When Duan Ling Tian thanked Lu Qiu, Lu Qiu felt slightly flattered.
"Huh?"
In the beginning, Duan Lingtian noticed something was amiss with the way Lu Qiu looked at him. When he saw the flattered expression on Lu Qiu's face, he was even more certain of his discovery.
'Don't tell me he knows my true identity as well? '
Duan Lingtian thought to himself. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became.
'That's not right … The Clan Leader once swore on the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that he would never reveal my true identity. If that's the case, how did the Former Clan Leader find out? '
Duan Lingtian could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
In the end, he could not help but ask Lu Rui through Voice Transmission. He learned many things from Lu Rui, including the fact that the Former Clan Leader had guessed his true identity.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian was suddenly enlightened. The confusion in his heart gradually disappeared.
In the sky above the Lu Clan's estate, two figures left one after another. It was as though they had transformed into two short-lived bolts of lightning.
They were none other than Cheng He and Leng Chi who had just left the Lu Clan's estate.
However, the direction they were flying in was not the direction of the Alchemist Guild.
"Lu Clan! Lu Qiu! I'll never let this matter rest!"
Cheng He muttered to himself as his eyes gleamed coldly.
"Let's go! We'll go to the Ou Clan … After that, we'll make a trip to the Weapons Craftsmen Guild Headquarters in the Southern Outer Land! "
