Having said that, the Pavilion Master strode out of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Although Fifth Elder was worried, he was powerless and could only watch from the sidelines.
There was a wide street at the entrance of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
At this moment, the street was empty except for the rustling sound of the wind.
Standing on the desolate street, the Pavilion Master calmly said, âYouâve come. Show yourselves.â
Silence pervaded the shadows.
Within half a second, several figures leaped out from the darkness!
Ten half-step Martial Marquises surrounded the Pavilion Master.
They exuded powerful and terrifying auras that engulfed the entire street.
Clearly, they wanted to teach the Pavilion Master a lesson.
âSo, you intend to besiege my Divine Alchemist Pavilion?â Pavilion Master raised her eyebrows, and suddenly her aura burst forth!
The collision of multiple auras instantly caused the air to roar intensely!
âPavilion Master, you misunderstand.â The ten half-step Martial Marquises suppressed their auras.
The leader, Hawk Hook Nose, stepped forward with a faint smile, âWeâve long heard that Pyroâs Medicine God Pavilion has an unparalleled Pavilion Master. Today, it seems the reputation is deserved.â
With an expressionless face, Pavilion Master said, âNo need for flattery.â
Hawk Hook Nose slightly bent himself and continued, âPavilion Master, I know you want to protect Ethan Smith, but our Halcroen Sect also absolutely needs him.â
âI know your Divine Alchemist Pavilion is powerful and holds a high status in Pyro, but Ethan Smith has deeply offended me, and this hatred must be avenged.â
The Pavilion Master furrowed her brows as she looked at Hawk Hook Nose, âDonât bother with such nonsense.â
Hearing her words, Hawk Hook Nose burst into laughter.
âAlright, then please hand over Ethan Smith,â Hawk Hook Nose said casually.
âAnother demanding me to hand someone over.â The Pavilion Master shook her head.
She glanced at Hawk Hook Nose and said, âDo you believe that with one phone call, I can ensure you wonât escape Pyro?â
Upon hearing this, everyoneâs faces changed dramatically!
The complexion of Hawk Hook Nose also gradually turned ugly.
âPavilion Master, we mean no disrespect. Itâs just that we are following orders, and we cannot return without completing our task,â Hawk Hook Nose said coldly.
âWe hope Pavilion Master wonât make things difficult for us.â
The Pavilion Master smiled faintly, âAlright, in a monthâs time, I will let Ethan Smith leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.â
âAt that time, no matter how you want to deal with it, I wonât interfere.â
Hawk Hook Nose frowned, âIs Pavilion Master serious? This isnât a delaying tactic, is it?â
âTrue. What if youâve informed the Pyro authorities, and we end up in trouble.â
Pavilion Master said indifferently, âIf you donât trust me, then do as you please.â
After dropping these words, the Pavilion Master turned to leave.
Hawk Hook Nose quickly stopped her and took a deep breath, âAlright, I believe that Pavilion Master is a person who keeps her word.â
âBut⦠what if you go back on your word by then?â
Pavilion Master said lightly, âIn a month, if Ethan Smith hasnât left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, I will face you all in his place.â
The implication was clear.
If Ethan Smith did not leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion in a month, the Halcroen Sect could act against her instead.
For the Halcroen Sect, the allure of the Divine Alchemist Pavilionâs master was also strong.
After all, her alchemy skills were unparalleled in the world.
âAlright,â Hawk Hook Nose bowed slightly.
âWeâll wait here then. If we donât see him in a month, donât blame us for any offense.â
Without any further words, the Pavilion Master turned and returned to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
At this moment, Ethan Smith was carefully examining the storage warehouse of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
In the vast warehouse, countless herbs were planted.
These herbs were growing at a visible speed, far beyond imagination.
Endless spiritual qi surged in waves.
This qi was incredibly soothing, making oneâs blood boil in their veins.
It was precisely because of the existence of this warehouse that the Divine Alchemist Pavilion could stand tall for so long.
Could there be some hidden treasure in this warehouse that provided an inexhaustible supply of spiritual qi?â Ethan Smith suddenly thought, his eyes unconsciously looking at the ground.
A normal spiritual energy gathering formation could not provide such an abundance of spiritual qi.
Even if all the qi in River Town were gathered here, it wouldnât be enough.
There must be some hidden treasure,â Ethan thought to himself.
This was only possible because it was the Divine Alchemist Pavilion; otherwise, it would have been taken away by others.
Itâs best to cultivate as soon as possible. Within a month, I should be able to reach the half-step Martial Marquis realm,â Ethan thought to himself.
He took out the Three Pure Ancient Tree and found a place to sit down.
Then, he began his dull cultivation.
At a glance, one could see a young man sitting amidst lush, green medicinal herbs, with a small emerald tree on top of his head.
A small vortex of spiritual qi formed around Ethanâs body.
Ethanâs body absorbed the spiritual qi as if he were starving and dehydrated.
Three days later.
âWhat on earth are these Halcroen Sect people doing?!â Elder Foster, who had not yet left, couldnât help cursing in secret.
âItâs been three days, and they still havenât made a move.â
âElder Foster, after all, this is the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, and the Halcroen Sect is on the blacklist. They shouldnât dare to openly act against it,â someone beside him said.
âYes, Elder Foster, why donât we⦠go back and consult our sect master?â
Elder Foster remained silent, but he agreed with the suggestion in his heart.
âYou two stay here; the rest of you come back to the Great Saint Sect with me,â Elder Foster ordered.
âYes.â
Elder Foster left without hesitation and returned to the Great Saint Sect.
The Great Saint Sect had a spiritual spring.
This spiritual spring provided an endless supply of resources.
A major sect must have enough resources in order to stand tall and undefeated.
Some sects even relied solely on a single heaven-and-earth resource to establish their foundations.
At this moment, a young man sat near the spiritual spring.
âItâs still not working!â The youth opened his eyes, a trace of frustration on his face.
âEntering the Military Marquis Realm isnât that easyâ¦â a hoarse voice echoed in his mind.
The young man was none other than Dudley Lynch.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A hint of anger flashed across Dudleyâs fac,e and he clenched his fists, shouting angrily, âIf I donât step into the Martial Marquis Realm, how am I going to kill Ethan Smith?!â
âEthan Smith has humiliated me! Now, this Number One Person of the Central Plains has become a laughingstock!â
âIf I donât kill him, Iâll never have a chance to recover!â
Dudley roared wildly, clearly on the verge of collapse.
âItâs simple⦠just give your body to me, and youâll be able to kill himâ¦â The hoarse voice came again.
