Nobody can take it away.
Inside the Pill Pagoda, Long Chen pointed his sword at the array formation grandmaster, Ou Yezi!
Everyone in the alchemy rooms looked at this scene in disbelief. It was rumored that every three strokes of Ou Yezi's horsetail whisk was a type of array formation. There were hundreds of different types of array formations that could be used at will.
But why was that attack just now easily blocked by a Spirit Martial Realm? This seemed to be somewhat unreasonable.
Although Ou Yezi was immersed in the study of formations, he had already reached the Soul Formation Stage at his age.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Ou Yezi's eyes suddenly focused, and he stared at Long Chen. As the saying goes, the expert knows the trick. Regarding this attack, his understanding was completely different from others!
His casual attack just now was triggered by the Wind Sweeping Array that was set up on the horsetail whisk beforehand. It was equivalent to the attack of a Divine Transformation Realm warrior. Even a Divine Transformation Realm warrior would not be able to withstand it so easily, let alone Long Chen who was only at the Spiritual Martial Realm …
However, Ou Yezi was not surprised in the slightest, because he saw the traces of Long Chen's sword dancing. These traces might be ordinary in the eyes of others, but when he saw them, his heart was in turmoil.
This sword strike seemed to have seen through the joints of the Wind-Sweeping Formation. Even the weak points of this strike were all struck by Long Chen!
Long Chen chuckled. If Ou Yezi had used his Divine Transformation Stage cultivation to attack directly, it might have been a little troublesome. However, if he wanted to attack with a formation, it would be much easier.
Array formations were different from any martial arts technique. For example, Long Chen's powerful Divine Will had captured Ou Yezi's attack. Based on his understanding of the Alchemy Dao and his Alchemy Dao Inheritance, he had seen the way to break it at a glance.
Moreover, in Long Chen's eyes, Ou Yezi's Offensive Array Formation was truly full of loopholes.
At the very least, this was a far cry from what Long Chen knew from the inheritance of alchemy …
"If you don't want to, no one can take you away!" Long Chen said indifferently.
Although his words were normal, they revealed a strong sense of confidence. Behind him, Yan Li's heart warmed when she heard these words, and her eyes revealed a weak look that had never appeared before.
Yan Li was a woman. She was a young and beautiful woman.
Although she had a strong personality and was as strict as her name implied in the academy, it was as if she could hold up the world by herself …
But no one knew that under that strong appearance, there was a soft heart, or perhaps a crying heart.
People were often like this. The more fragile they were, the more they had to show their strong side to everyone.
"Brat, do you really think you can stop this old man? In the Imperial Capital, I can decide your life and death with a single word! "Ou Yezi's face instantly darkened after a brief moment of shock.
Ou Yezi's status was lofty. Within the imperial city, there was no one who didn't treat him with respect and reverence. Now, a youth from Long Chen had actually embarrassed him in front of so many people. How could he not be angry?
Seeing that things were getting out of hand and that Long Chen and Ou Yezi were like fire and water, Liu Cang Lan's face was a little pale. He hurriedly walked between the two of them and shouted in a deep voice, "Please give me, Liu Cang Lan, some face. After all, this place is still within the Pill Pagoda …"
Although Liu Cang Lan's voice was polite, his cultivation was vast and mighty. The spiritual energy around him was like a tide, flashing with light. The people around him were forced to retreat under the terrifying pressure.
Long Chen scanned with his divine sense and immediately saw Liu Cang Lan's cultivation. The sea of energy in his dantian was almost the same as Elder Niu's.
However, half of the sea of energy was still condensed. In other words, he had already reached the fifth layer of the Soul Formation Realm, which was the middle stage of the Soul Formation Realm. If the sea of energy was fully condensed, he would be able to ascend to the Golden Core Realm.
With such a cultivation base, no one present could compare to him.
He seemed to be persuading with a pleasant expression, but in fact, he was clearly intimidating Ou Yezi. This was the Pill Pagoda, and he was the master here.
Sure enough, Ou Yezi's expression was as gloomy as ice. He only shouted in a deep voice, "Good, very good!"
After saying this, he took a deep look at Yan Li, flicked his sleeves, and left. However, before he left, he said again, "You will pay the price for your choice today, and so will he!"
After Ou Yezi left, everyone sighed. Some people even couldn't help but frown. They secretly wondered if Liu Cang Lan's choice was a bit reckless. Was it worth offending the Black Dragon Empire's number one formation grandmaster, Ou Yezi, for a youth?
Although Long Chen revealed unprecedented talent in alchemy, he was really too young. There were too many people in the Imperial Capital who could kill him. Everything was still unknown.
"Everyone, disperse. Try not to talk about today's matter. If you cause trouble, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Although Liu Cang Lan shouted at Ou Yezi to leave, his expression didn't seem to be good.
Although the Pill Pagoda didn't fear Ou Yezi, Ou Yezi's relationship in the Imperial Capital was complicated. This would undoubtedly cause some trouble for the Black Dragon Empire's Alchemist Guild.
The surrounding people nodded repeatedly, bowed, and withdrew. Only Long Chen, Yan Li, and Liu Cang Lan's woman remained.
Long Chen cupped his fists slightly towards Liu Cang Lan. He had seen Liu Cang Lan's actions, so he naturally couldn't remain indifferent. Of course, he also knew that Liu Cang Lan had taken a fancy to his alchemy techniques. However, this was human nature.
"I, Long Chen, will remember Senior Liu's kindness today. I definitely won't hide anything from Yiyi's teachings …" Long Chen said.
Only then did Liu Cang Lan's expression improve. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He secretly thought that Long Chen was very tactful and understanding.
Liu Cang Lan replied, "That's good. Since Yiyi has already acknowledged you as her master, I'll say a few more words. This Ou Yezi's influence in the Imperial Capital isn't small. One of his identities is as the First Prince's advisor. On the other hand, he is deeply trusted by the Emperor. He even personally set up many of the arrays in the Forbidden Palace …"
Liu Cang Lan's tone became serious as he said, "You'd better be careful. If your life is in danger, you can think of a way to enter the Pill Pagoda. As long as you're in the Pill Pagoda, I can guarantee your safety."
Long Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. He didn't expect Ou Yezi to be the First Prince's advisor. It was truly a case of those who were close to ink being stained black!
If that was the case, then he and the First Prince had indirectly formed a grudge …
Just as Long Chen was about to speak, an explosive fiery aura rushed towards him. Following that, a few mournful cries rang out. The cries weren't loud, but it was clear that they came from a distance away.
"Not good! The fire in the back mountain … "
Liu Cang Lan's heart skipped a beat. He had invited Ou Yezi here today to use the array to seal the Vermillion Bird Fire that was spreading through the back mountain. Now that he had offended Ou Yezi, how could he leave the array behind?
Seeing that Liu Cang Lan was so anxious and was about to leave, Long Chen smiled faintly. He stepped forward and said, "I might have a way to deal with this fire."
Liu Cang Lan shook his head. Although he knew that this fire had something to do with Long Chen, the fire had sealed the mountain for a long time. Even a Soul Formation cultivator couldn't resist it. Other than sealing it with an array, what else could he do?
