"Bang!"
Xiao Yan held an invisible Heavenly Flame ruler in his hand within the empty space. A frighteningly high temperature continued to spread from the huge ruler, causing the surrounding space to continuously distort.
Xiao Yan slowly extended his hand. Soon after, a frightening suction force instantly surged from his palm, causing a wave of cold wind to blow across the empty space.
Following the appearance of this cold wind, traces of tiny light spots, which could not be seen with the naked eye, appeared from the entire spatial vortex. Soon after, they were controlled by the suction force on Xiao Yan's palm, and were all absorbed into Xiao Yan's palm.
When those tiny light spots were swallowed by Xiao Yan, a wisp of faint silver light instantly flashed deep within Xiao Yan's eyes, and was hidden deep within Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath of turbid air. His body stood steadily in the empty space. A thousand feet in front of him, the Void Lightning Beast's body shrunk in a miserable manner, while it emitted a low roar from its mouth.
Xiao Yan coldly laughed upon seeing this. Back then, when this fellow had taken the opportunity to completely torture him, he had not seen it show any mercy. At this moment, it had already begun to beg for mercy. These bastards were really people who only ate the weak and feared the strong.
"Humph, begging for mercy, huh? We are already in such a situation. If I let you off and your actual body senses it in the future, won't I be releasing a tiger back into the mountains … do you think that I will do something that will invite trouble for myself?"
Xiao Yan had already laughed coldly before his voice sounded. The invisible huge ruler was suddenly swung in front of him. The huge force that was created when the huge ruler was swung also caused Xiao Yan's body to move. Xiao Yan borrowed this force to suddenly charge forward, transforming into a light figure that instantly arrived in front of the Void Lightning Beast.
The huge ruler in Xiao Yan's hand was rotated with a flip of his hand, and he grabbed the hilt of the ruler. Soon after, a force swiftly gathered in his palm, and the ruler ruthlessly smashed towards the head of the Void Lightning Beast.
After swallowing the extremely pure Spatial Strength, Xiao Yan's control over space had already become even more detailed. Additionally, the Man class agility Dou Skill, Sky Absolute Step, was instantly unleashed, causing his speed to be even more frightening than usual.
If one were to compare Xiao Yan's current speed, it was likely that he was even faster than an eight star Half Emperor.
The frightening speed coupled with Xiao Yan's even greater strength caused the Void Lightning Beast to involuntarily feel a pressure at this moment …
With the suppression of the bloodline and the addition of the Heavenly Flame, it was indeed too difficult for it to flip the situation around. Moreover, Xiao Yan's physical strength was not much weaker than it. Moreover, it had been repeatedly bombarded by Xiao Yan earlier. At this moment, this Void Lightning Beast was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Its current struggle was merely the struggle of a trapped beast …
"Bang!"
With a bang, Xiao Yan's body was forced back by a hundred steps. The invisible fire ruler in his hand was once again swung out. When one looked at the Void Lightning Beast again, its body involuntarily flew back by five hundred kilometres after receiving a violent attack from Xiao Yan. It only slowly came to a stop after waves of frightening spatial ripples were formed.
Although it was not seriously injured, its solid body was a little scattered. Large invisible light spots spread from its body to the entire spatial vortex. However, they were ultimately absorbed into Xiao Yan's body and turned into a part of his body …
The Void Lightning Beast had no chance of dodging this ruler glow that Xiao Yan was about to unleash. Today, this Void Lightning Beast would definitely be completely absorbed by Xiao Yan. The originally greatest danger had already turned into a benefit for Xiao Yan …
… …
A month's time quietly passed. The prelude to the Alchemist Grand Meeting in the Savage Ancient City had already become a thing of the past …
Today, the Void Square appeared to be quite lively. Some of the old demons, who usually did not appear, had finally all arrived today.
Today, there were no less than a dozen half Martial Emperors present in the Void Square. The strongest amongst them had even reached the level of an eight star half Martial Emperor. Even a five star half Martial Emperor was merely ranked in the middle amongst them. From this, one could imagine just how frightening the strength present in the Void Square today was!
If such a peak strength were to join forces, it was likely that they would be considered a truly transcendent faction even in the entire Southern Region!
However, the reason why this group of high level half Martial Emperors had gathered here today was firstly because they had been in seclusion for a long time. Hence, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to probe the strength of those old fellows …
On the other hand, which was also the most important reason, was that there were high level alchemists participating in the Alchemist Grand Meeting this time around. According to the latest news that they had obtained, there were not only two high level alchemists participating in the Alchemist Grand Meeting this time around, but three!
In the eyes of these high level half Martial Emperors, the weight that three high level alchemists represented was likely not inferior to the entire Alchemist Association. Three people were able to represent a faction. From this, one could easily imagine the true status of a high level alchemist!
Rank two alchemists. Even some of the eight star half Martial Emperors present did not dare to be careless in front of them. Even if their strength was inferior to theirs, as long as they had reached the level of a rank two alchemist, they were not people that they could easily provoke. On the contrary, if they were able to befriend them, they would absolutely not become enemies with them …
The reason for that was because no one knew exactly how many eight star Half Martial Emperors were standing behind a rank two alchemist to protect them.
At this moment, the true rallying power of an alchemist was truly displayed …
At this moment, the viewing gallery was already covered by a black mass of human heads. Even the vast sky was surrounded by human figures that were suspended in the air.
At this moment, they could not be bothered to change the rules of half Martial Emperors or not. Such a scene was really rare to see in their lifetime. Even if someone wanted to kill them at this moment, there might be someone who would insist on waiting until the start of the Alchemist Grand Meeting!
Gu Li and Chi Lin were seated side by side in the judges' seats. At this moment, the faces of the two of them appeared to be a little worried. They were frowning deeply as their gazes repeatedly swept across the entire empty square. It was as though they were searching for something.
After sweeping their surroundings, the originally frowning eyebrows of the two of them became even deeper at this moment. They exchanged glances and saw the trace of anxiousness in each other's eyes.
"Why is that fellow Yan Xiao not here yet? Today is the day that he will compete with Wei Yi and Mo Di. Don't tell me that he doesn't know …"
Chi Lin frowned tightly. His gaze swept over Wei Yi and Mo Di, who were seated in the distance, before softly transmitting his voice to Gu Li.
Gu Li also shook his head in an indiscernible manner. His eyes exchanged glances with Chi Lin as he sighed and transmitted his voice back.
"That shouldn't be the case. I personally went to his residence to take a look last night. He was not there. From the looks of it, it is not as though he is unaware. Moreover … I discovered yesterday that there was a small pool of blood at Xiao Yan's door …"
Gu Li's words had yet to fade when Chi Lin, who was by the side, had already widened his eyes until they were the size of a copper bell. His pair of sharp eyes contained a furious expression that continuously flowed within them.
If that pool of blood was Xiao Yan's, did it not mean that during this one month, Xiao Yan had already …
Chi Lin's heart was instantly filled with a soaring fury when he thought of this. His pair of eyes, which were about to spit fire, also turned towards Mo Di's location. However, he coincidentally saw the cold smile that was lifted from the corner of Mo Di's mouth. The fury in his heart instantly erupted. Chi Lin was also about to attack.
In front of such a scum, it was really difficult for Chi Lin to scrupulously abide by his status as the vice president of the Alchemist Association. His aura suddenly surged as he prepared to attack.
Gu Li, who was by the side, blocked in front of Chi Lin and hinted with his eyes that Chi Lin should not act rashly.
After all, these two were high tier alchemists. They would definitely have many connections under them. Although the two of them were not afraid, the two of them would only be at a disadvantage if they acted rashly without any evidence.
In addition, there was a group of Half-martial Emperors at the side. Among them, there were eight star Half-martial Emperors who would not sit idly by. Once they attacked, it would be difficult for the two of them to clean up the mess.
A ruthless expression flashed across Chi Lin's face when he sensed the meaning in Gu Li's eyes. However, in the end, it turned into a cold snort. He turned around and sat on his stone chair without saying anything else.
At this moment, Mo Di and Wei Yi had also completely captured this scene in their eyes. They were naturally aware of the reason behind this. Xiao Yan had disappeared for a month, and they were certain that Xiao Yan had already been destroyed by the combined efforts of Fang Xun and Wang Qi!
Currently, the two of them were already standing on the same side. With Xiao Yan's death, the number one position in the Alchemist Association naturally went without saying.
However, Gu Li's heart was completely unaware of all this. At this moment, his heart was filled with hope. If anything were to really happen to Xiao Yan, at the very least, they still had Wei Yi, this final trump card!
"Haha, president Gu Li, look, we have been sitting here for an entire morning. May I know when the competition between high tier alchemists will begin?"
Suddenly, an aged yet imposing voice slowly reverberated across the entire empty square like a thunderbolt.
When Gu Li heard this, the expression on his face involuntarily became increasingly ugly …
This old thing, with your shrewdness, how could you not know what had happened on my side? Even at this moment, you still asked such a question despite knowing the answer. Are you trying to embarrass my Alchemist Association?
When the voice rang out, the people in the empty square became somewhat restless. Waves of discussions quickly spread, causing the expression on Gu Li's face to become increasingly ugly.
As the main characters of the competition, Mo Di and Wei Yi looked at Gu Li with a cold smile. Mo Di gave Wei Yi a look. Wei Yi understood at a glance and nodded slightly. Subsequently, he stood up with a smile on his face. He looked at Gu Li and laughed strangely.
"Mister president, look, even old Hu has spoken. Why don't we start this Grand Meeting first? According to the rules, isn't it already time? There are quite a number of people from large factions present. We can't possibly leave them here to dry. After all, this is a competition between the three of us. Wouldn't it be easier for us to start it earlier …"
When his voice sounded, Gu Li's expression had already turned gloomy. Only at this moment, did the various Half Emperor experts in the square notice that there were actually only two of the three main characters present in the competition. Such a situation could not help but cause a wave of suspicion!
Immediately, a Seven Star Half Emperor expert could not help but stand up. He opened his mouth and asked Gu Li.
"President Gu Li, I remember that there should be a competition between three high tier alchemists today. Currently, only Grandmaster Mo and Grandmaster Wei are present. The other person should be the newly promoted rank two alchemist, Yan Xiao, right …"
When this person's voice sounded, everyone's gazes in the square immediately landed on Gu Li. The reason why the Grand Alchemist Competition had not started today was already self-evident …
"Haha, brother Yang is right. There is indeed another Yan Xiao. However, he has yet to arrive. This old man believes that we should wait a little longer. Wait for him to arrive, then …"
"Hmph! President, you have wholeheartedly waited for that brat to arrive. Could it be that you are so worried about me? With my alchemist level, I might not necessarily lose to Mo Di if I go all out! Yet, from the looks of it, you have placed all your hopes on that Yan Xiao. You have caused me, the chief alchemist, to lose all my face! "
"This …"
Gu Li's pair of sharp eyes instantly looked towards Wei Yi. Even Wei Yi was unable to endure the aura that seemed to want to devour a person. As a one star Half Emperor, he was unable to endure even a strand of Gu Li's aura in front of him. One could imagine just how powerful an eight star Half Emperor was!
However, Wei Yi was at the very least a high tier alchemist. His Spiritual Strength exceeded that of an ordinary person. Although he was unable to fight head on with Gu Li, Wei Yi believed that he was still able to block it.
"Haha, President Gu Li, why do you need to vent your anger on your own people. If that Yan Xiao does not come, so be it. Just directly declare him to admit defeat. He is merely a member of the younger generation. Even if his Spiritual Strength is lucky enough to catch up, alchemy skills do not only depend on one's Spiritual Strength. This point is something that you, as the president of the Alchemist Association, should be incomparably clear about …"
An old man wearing linen robes appeared out of nowhere a thousand feet in front of Gu Li after his voice sounded. A frightening aura that was not inferior to Gu Li's also spread out, canceling out Gu Li's aura. The frightening aura that Wei Yi was facing also slowly scattered …
"Old demon Hu, are you trying to protect him?"
The old man who was addressed as old demon Hu merely smiled when he heard this. He was noncommittal. Wei Yi's eyes also swept around him with a guilty conscience. With his ability, it was still somewhat impossible for him to invite this old fellow to help him …
This old demon Hu was an old person that Mo Di had managed to invite with great difficulty after paying a great price. With him present, even Gu Li did not dare to act recklessly.
"Haha, the old me thinks that President Gu Li should not be in a hurry to be entangled with this problem. The most important thing now is the Alchemist Grand Meeting. Since Yan Xiao does not dare to appear, President Gu Li should make an announcement!"
Gu Li's expression was cold. He narrowed his old eyes and looked at old demon Hu as he opened his mouth and spoke in an indifferent manner.
"Announce? Announce what? "
"Haha, it is naturally the matter of Yan Xiao fleeing. However, from the looks of it, President Gu Li does not seem to be willing. Since that is the case, the old me shall announce it on your behalf!"
Before his voice sounded, old demon Hu's body had already flashed and appeared in the middle of the empty square without waiting for Gu Li to act. Both of his feet stood in the empty air. At the same time, a light and airy voice was slowly emitted …
"Due to the fact that fellow Yan Xiao has already left the Savage Ancient City for over a month, the old me went back to the old place to discuss with the head of the Alchemist Association. Since this Yan Xiao was once a nominal Elder of the Alchemist Association, it is inconvenient for President Gu Li to appear. Hence, the old me shall announce that in this high rank alchemist competition of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, Yan Xiao …"
"Hahahaha, thank you for your concern, President Gu Li. There are indeed some matters that I need to settle, which is why I am late. However, elimination is not certain!"
