Outside the thatched hut, Nie Tian's expression was stiff for a few seconds before he finally eased up. The look in his eyes became somewhat complicated.
"Lord Nie Tian, are you okay?" Tian Liang thought that Nie Tian was angry. His expression couldn't help but turn ugly as he explained, "Old Chen doesn't have any malicious intent. He's just …"
"Let's go in." Without waiting for Tian Liang to finish, Nie Tian directly stepped into the thatched hut.
Pushing the door in, Nie Tian was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The thatched hut was only a dozen square meters in a mess. It was full of broken wine jars.
A slightly stooped old man was half-lying on the ground. His eyes were drunk and blurred. He was holding a wine jug in his hand. Seeing Nie Tian come in, he actually chuckled and raised the wine jug and said, "Come, let's drink another jug."
Nie Tian clearly saw the face of the old man in front of him. Although he had aged a great deal, he could still recognize him at a glance. This old man was his best friend from his past life, one of the seven Great Elders of the Realm of the Gods Alchemist Guild, Chen Jinyi!
But the current Chen Jinyi did not have any of his past elegance. He had completely become a sloppy old drunkard.
Back in the Heaven Realm, Nie Tian and Chen Jinyi were good friends in alchemy. The two often discussed alchemy together.
At that time, Chen Jinyi was handsome and heroic. He was one of the few people in the Heaven Realm who became a Tier 9 Alchemist before the age of 100.
Although Chen Jinyi was addicted to alcohol, he never got drunk. He paid special attention to his appearance. Nie Tian even joked that he was an alcoholic with mysophobia. Compared to the sloppy old man in front of him, he was like a different person!
"Chen Jinyi!" Seeing Chen Jinyi in front of him, Nie Tian's expression changed. His body swayed slightly as if he was struck by lightning. He suddenly roared.
The deep roar fell and a huge power was released. The thatched hut was directly overturned.
The glaring sunlight shone down and fell on Chen Jinyi. His hands covered his eyes. He looked very panicked. It was like a person who had not seen the sun for a long time.
"Lord Nie Tian, this …" Tian Liang was stunned for a moment, and then a look of terror appeared on her face. She did not know why Nie Tian would suddenly fly into a rage.
Chen Jinyi had been hiding in the thatched hut for decades, and it was said that he had never come out. Now that Nie Tian had suddenly destroyed his thatched hut, how could this be!
"Leave first. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach this place!" Nie Tian glanced at Tian Liang and said in a deep voice.
"Yes yes yes!" Tian Liang didn't know what was going on and was completely at a loss. However, when he saw how furious Nie Tian was, he didn't dare to stay for even a moment longer. He nodded repeatedly and disappeared.
"You, who are you?" At this time, Chen Jinyi covered his eyes with one hand to prevent them from being hurt by the sunlight. He looked at Nie Tian in panic, his voice trembling.
"I am the one who dares to call myself Nie Tian!" Nie Tian took a step forward and came directly in front of Chen Jinyi. His eyes stared straight at the latter and said word by word, "Chen Jinyi, look clearly, who am I!"
Chen Jinyi was suddenly stunned. His eyes suddenly widened and revealed great doubt in his eyes.
"You, you, you are …" Slowly, his face became frightened and shocked. The muscles on his face began to twitch uncontrollably. The words were at the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them.
Chen Jinyi was all too familiar with this gaze and this aura!
"I am Nie Tian!" Nie Tian's eyes flickered with unrestrained fury as he practically roared out.
"Nie Tian, Nie Tian, Nie Tian …" Chen Jinyi finally reacted. As if he had just woken up from a dream, his mouth kept repeating Nie Tian's name. His eyes flickered with excitement as he said, "You didn't die, you actually didn't die!"
As he spoke, Chen Jinyi finally stood up and hugged Nie Tian like a child. He actually burst into tears.
After a long, long time, Chen Jinyi finally calmed down. Looking at Nie Tian's face, he smiled foolishly. His eyes welled up with tears as he said, "Nie Tian, you're really still alive!"
"I'm still alive," Nie Tian nodded with a smile. Being able to see a friend from his past life again made him feel as if it was a lifetime ago.
"Chen Jinyi, what exactly happened to your body? Who turned you into this? "Suddenly, Nie Tian's eyes flashed with terrifying fury as he asked solemnly.
The current Chen Jinyi and the person in Nie Tian's memory were worlds apart.
Chen Jinyi was a ninth-tier alchemist, but his strength was not strong. He was only in the Heaven Tier.
Nie Tian knew that his age was only around 200 years old. This age was equivalent to youth for a Heaven Tier martial artist. But Chen Jinyi had a completely aged appearance.
Nie Tian sensed for a bit. Chen Jinyi's strength actually dropped. He was only in the first level of True Essence.
Chen Jinyi was a person who loved cleanliness very much. But now, he became a drunkard old man. This extreme contrast made Nie Tian very furious.
Someone must have done something to Chen Jinyi. That was why he would appear here and become like this!
"Nie Tian, I'm fine, I'm really fine. As long as you're still alive, it's fine. We're still good friends and can still discuss alchemy together. That's enough." Chen Jinyi shook his head vigorously but was unwilling to say more to Nie Tian.
"Was it done by Luo Chen?" Nie Tian asked Cold. His entire body's fury was like a burning volcano.
Even if Chen Jinyi did not say, he could also guess a thing or two.
Chen Jinyi still did not say. He just shook his head. He could sense that Nie Tian's strength was only at the first level of Heavenly Emperor. What could it do even if he said what happened to him? It would only make Nie Tian even more furious.
"Bastard!" Nie Tian looked at Chen Jinyi's expression and knew that it must be Luo Chen who dealt a vicious blow to the latter.
But what he could not understand was why the Alchemist Association did not care. Chen Jinyi was a Tier Nine Alchemist. He himself was also one of the association's seven great elders. He was even once considered to be the next Alchemist Association's chairman.
Luo Chen Jinyi laying his hands on Chen Jinyi, the Alchemist Association's people should have stopped it!
"What in the world is Chen Xinwen thinking? Why didn't he stop Luo Chen Xinwen?" When Nie Tian thought of this, his entire body became even more enraged, roaring out furiously.
Chen Xinwen was precisely the Divine Realm's Alchemist Association's chairman.
Chen Jinyi, this association elder, was dealt a vicious blow, but Chen Xinwen actually did not care. How could this not enrage Nie Tian?!
If the Alchemist Association could not protect alchemists, then what was the use of the association's existence?!
"Nie Tian, let bygones be bygones. As long as you're still alive, nothing will change." Chen Jinyi already thoroughly calmed down. The turbidity in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a bright look.
Nie Tian let out a long breath of turbid air and calmed down slightly. A terrifying chill flickered in his eyes as he said solemnly, "Some things can pass, but some things can never pass. The things that Luo Chen Xinwen did, I'll make him pay one by one. "
When the icy-cold voice fell, the killing intent in Nie Tian's eyes gradually dissipated. Replacing it was an indelible determination.
Even if Chen Jinyi was not willing to say the truth of the matter, Nie Tian would definitely find a way to find out too.
