"Mar-Marquis, all the operating inns in the city have refused to rent them!" At this moment, one of the men who was sent out earlier suddenly ran over and yelled in horror.
The onlookers hadn't left yet. When they saw the men who were sent out earlier running back, they stared at them together. However, when the man at the front said that he couldn't rent any inns, a commotion broke out instantly.
"How is that possible?"
"Not even a single inn? Did he collude with Zhong Shan to deceive his master? "
"Xiaoyao Hou is such a failure!"
"Who asked him to be so arrogant? This is called retribution!"
…
…
Xiaoyao Hou's face flushed red instantly. Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but feel greatly humiliated at this moment. You can't even rent an inn?
"Impossible! Say it again!" Xiaoyao Hou yelled at his subordinate.
"Marquis, it's true. Not only are we unable to rent the quiet courtyards in Blue Flame City, we can't even rent a single room in the slums. The most despicable thing is that there are guest rooms available, but they refuse to rent them to us. This is really strange!" The subordinate exclaimed.
"How is that possible?" Xiaoyao Hou asked in disbelief.
"It's true, Marquis. We've been to hundreds of inns, from high to low. We've been to all kinds of inns, but none of them were willing to rent them to us!" The subordinate said in horror again.
"Could it be that we've gone too far these days?" One of the subordinates whispered.
As they spoke, everyone was astonished. Then, they burst out laughing at this group of frustrating people!
"Hahahaha …"
…
…
Everyone laughed at Xiaoyao Hou for his arrogance and retribution. However, some of them were looking at Zhong Shan seriously.
It was especially so for Marquis Shaofei. Marquis Shaofei stared at Zhong Shan. His eyes were constantly changing, and his calm expression was now replaced by a look of horror.
How, how is this possible?
Marquis Shaofei didn't think that it was a problem with Xiaoyao Hou's character. Instead, he thought of Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan's bet was such a ridiculous bet that no one thought that Zhong Shan would win. However, in the end, Zhong Shan actually won?
How is this possible? How could this be? According to the news from his subordinates, Zhong Shan had just arrived in Blue Flame City. He had only been in Blue Flame City for a day, and he had not contacted anyone at all. How did he manage to persuade all the innkeepers? This was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Then why?
Zhong Shan's friend? Or was it someone else who didn't like Xiaoyao Hou?
That was impossible. The person who had delivered the number plate for the Sky Room 1 of the inn had already pointed out that Zhong Shan definitely had some sort of relationship with the inn in the city.
Just a little? But now, none of the inns would rent to them, and this was right after Zhong Shan's bet. This meant that it was Zhong Shan's order.
Four hours after Zhong Shan gave the order, all the inns in Blue Flame City obeyed Zhong Shan?
Zhong Shan was now omnipotent. In Blue Flame City, perhaps only the Blue Flame Emperor had the ability to give the order to not rent to someone. Other than the Blue Flame Emperor, there was also Zhong Shan.
This was too terrifying. This Zhong Shan was too terrifying!
He was from the east of the Divine Land, but his forces had already spread to the west of the Divine Land. What kind of person was he? He was so terrifying. How many years had it been?
Shao Fei Hou was not the only one who could tell that Zhong Shan was terrifying. A man in white, who was hiding in the crowd, could also tell.
When the man in white saw the scene before him, he was shocked and his back was covered in sweat. This man was Fan Yipin, a subordinate of Gu Xuan from the Yongle Dynasty.
When Fan Yipin received the news that Zhong Shan was here, he rushed over and happened to see this shocking scene.
"Let's go!" Fan Yipin immediately turned and left.
The subordinate was slightly surprised, but he still followed Fan Yipin out.
"Prime Minister!" The subordinate said doubtfully.
"Shut up!" Fan Yipin's eyes turned cold. The subordinate was shocked.
Soon, Fan Yipin brought the subordinate back to his residence.
"Prime Minister!" The subordinate was still doubtful.
"Pack your things and return to the Imperial Court immediately!" Fan Yipin said.
"Prime Minister, we have already passed the registration test and can participate in the Myriad Pill Assembly soon. Are we leaving now? If we leave now, what will happen to the alchemists of our dynasty? "The subordinate said worriedly.
"Of course we will leave together. Even though I have a high opinion of Zhong Shan, it is still not enough. This Zhong Shan's ambition is too great. His forces have actually spread here. Quick, pack your things. We are returning to the Imperial Court and reorganizing the court. Quick!" Fan Yipin said with a glare.
"Yes!" The subordinate immediately said in fear.
Fan Yipin's political sense was very sharp. From this little bit of abnormality, he could see a great conspiracy. He was decisive and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate and return to court. Even sending news back to court would save him time. Fan Yipin knew the severity of the situation. He had to go back himself and help the Emperor clean up.
On the original square.
After Xiaoyao Hou heard the news, his face turned red with anger.
"Fortunately, Xiaoyao Hou did not bet anything. He did not lose anything!"
"I knew that Xiaoyao Hou would definitely suffer retribution for being so insolent!"
…
…
As the onlookers criticized Xiaoyao Hou, Xiaoyao Hou's face became redder and redder. Then, his face turned black with anger.
"Master Hou, your face is black! Could it be that the poison has not been cured? "An ignorant subordinate said in a panic.
"King of Elixirs, take a look again and see if Master Hou is alright!" The subordinate pulled the King of Elixirs of Dali Dynasty, who was studying the poison pills at the side.
"Get lost!" Xiaoyao Hou kicked the subordinate away.
Turning his head, he turned around and left.
The other subordinates could only follow.
Soon, Xiaoyao Hou left. Although the onlookers felt that they had not had enough, they could only slowly disperse. After this incident, Xiaoyao Hou's name would definitely spread throughout Blue Flame City.
In a short while, the official in charge of the registration review came over with a token.
"Alchemists of the Supreme Elixir Sect, this is the token for the Myriad Pill Assembly in three months. You can only enter the Imperial Palace with this token. You can decide on the number of people you want, but there cannot be more than ten of you!" The official handed over the token respectfully.
"Thank you!" Bao 'er received the token with a smile.
Then, the crowd followed Zhong Shan to his residence. However, they chose to keep quiet about the previous incident and no one mentioned it again.
On that day, Xiaoyao Hou left Blue Flame City with his subordinates. He could not stay there any longer.
As for Shao Fei Hou, after accepting Zhong Shan's invitation to attend a banquet at his residence, he bade farewell to Nie Qingqing the next day and left Blue Flame City quickly with his subordinates. They went straight to Lihuo Saint Capital of Dali Heavenly Dynasty.
Because Marquis Shao Feihou had also seen through the terrifying mysteries, he brought this shocking news back to Nie Fanchen to report.
During these three months, Nie Qingqing naturally accompanied Ling 'er and chatted happily with Zhong Shan and his group.
As for the incident at the square that day, it naturally became a big joke in Blue Flame City. However, no matter how big a joke it was, it could not be spread for long. Other than a few intelligent people who analyzed the shocking incident, most people just treated it as a joke and forgot about it.
However, the name of the Great Elixir Sect was remembered by almost everyone.
A poison pill that required a hundred antidotes. The Alchemy Grandmaster of the Great Elixir Sect was a powerful person.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the date of the Myriad Elixir Conference arrived.
The ten people were naturally Zhong Shan and his group. As for Zhao Suxiang, he left Zhong Shan because of the Legion Commander's summons.
Zhong Shan and his group walked toward the palace together with Nie Qingqing's group.
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Zhong Shan revealed a strange smile as he looked at the people walking into the palace.
"What's wrong?" Nie Qingqing asked.
"The Blue Flame Emperor is either too arrogant or too useless. The Myriad Elixir Conference is actually held in the palace? Truly, truly 'unique'. "Gu Qianyou revealed a strange smile.
"The palace is the land of the Imperial Family. It is indeed not suitable for people or forces outside the Imperial Family's control to appear. Lan Tianwei is indeed lacking in consideration!" Nie Qingqing thought for a while and nodded.
However, seeing that most people had walked in, Zhong Shan and his group also walked in.
After handing over their tokens and invitations, they were led by a eunuch. Soon, they arrived at a huge palace square. There were many spectator stands around for the friends and family of the Alchemy Grandmasters!
At the northernmost side was the largest palace. A group of important members of the Blue Flame Imperial Dynasty stood in front of the palace. The two at the front were middle-aged men wearing blue dragon robes and a flat imperial crown. He was the Blue Flame Emperor, Lan Tianwei!
Next to him was a white-haired old man in a moon-white robe. He was the number one Dragon Tiger Alchemy Saint who had been renowned for three thousand years! Lan Longhu!
With the eunuch leading the way, the various Alchemy Grandmasters who had invitations were arranged in specific places. Those who did not were also arranged in the southern area.
Nie Qingqing's group, because they were the representatives of the Dali Heavenly Empire, were naturally in the northern area, near the Blue Flame Emperor.
For some reason, the Extreme Alchemy Grandmaster was also arranged in the northern area, near the Blue Flame Emperor.
When the group approached, a eunuch whispered something in front of the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Grandmaster. The Dragon Tiger Alchemy Grandmaster turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhong Shan. He looked directly at Gan Bao 'er in the group.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then, he nodded slightly at Gan Bao 'er as if he was very friendly.
Gan Bao 'er was slightly surprised, but she also nodded.
The group walked to the northern square. The seats arranged by the Extreme Alchemy Grandmaster were actually better than Nie Qingqing's group.
The group was slightly puzzled, but they did not say anything. Instead, they walked closer and sat down. They looked at the Alchemy Grandmasters who were constantly being led into the square.
Today, there were actually close to ten thousand seats in the vast square. It could be seen that there were close to a thousand Alchemy Grandmasters who had obtained a spot.
Not to mention that the top Alchemy Grandmasters in the world were gathered here. At the very least, a large portion of the top Alchemy Grandmasters would come.
The Myriad Pill Assembly was a gathering of Alchemy Grandmasters.
There were many Alchemy Grandmasters who were obsessed with Alchemy and did not care about worldly affairs. In the hearts of the Alchemy Grandmasters, the one with the highest status here was not the Blue Flame Emperor, but the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Grandmaster.
The top Alchemy Grandmasters naturally had their own pride. No one came to worship the Blue Flame Emperor. Instead, they found their own seats and sat down, waiting for the conference to begin.
