Hearing this, Dudley Lynch couldnât help but coldly say, âDonât even think about it!â
âThen youâll never be Ethan Smithâs matchâ¦heheheâ¦â A hoarse voice came with a hint of mockery.
Dudley Lynch was suddenly furious!
He stood up angrily and said coldly, âNonsense! I will kill Ethan Smith myself sooner or later!â
âKill Ethan Smith yourself? Once he steps into the half-step Martial Marquis, youâll be even less of a match for himâ¦â
Dudley clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging.
Although he was unwilling to believe it, this was the truth.
Once Ethan Smith entered the half-step Martial Marquis Realm, there would be no chance left for Dudley Lynch.
His heart began to waver.
Elder Foster quickly returned to the Great Saint Sect.
Deep within the Great Saint Sect, there was an inner courtyard villa.
The entire villaâs structure was extremely exquisite, not only having modern architectural designs, but also an ancient Gilded Hall.
Elder Foster rushed into the villa and knelt at the entrance. Using his Inner Strength, he yelled, âElder Foster requests to see the sect master!â
The sound echoed deeply into the villa.
A moment later, the door slowly opened, but no one was there.
Elder Foster hurriedly got up and walked in.
Entering the Gilded Hall, a voice came from the shadows.
âTalk, what is it?â
Hearing this voice, Elder Foster quickly said, âSect Master, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion is too arrogant and does not take our Great Saint Sect seriously!â
Then, Elder Foster exaggerated the details of the incident to the sect master.
The Great Hall was quiet, and the sect master did not respond.
A short while later, the sect master asked, âMedicine God Pavilion has a wide network of connections. Itâs not something we, the Great Saint Sect, can handle.â
Elder Fosterâs face changed!
If even the Great Saint Sect couldnât do it, who in the world could go against the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion?
Just as Elder Foster was sinking into despair, the sect master suddenly changed the topic, coldly saying, âBut if the Medicine God Pavilion bullies our Great Saint Sect, we wonât just swallow our anger and do nothing!â
Elder Foster was overjoyed and quickly said, âYes, Sect Master, we must find a way to teach the Medicine God Pavilion a lesson!â
The sect master said solemnly, âTomorrow I will go to Capital City and discuss this matter with the Taylor family.â
âGood, good!â Elder Foster eagerly nodded.
After leaving the villa, Elder Foster couldnât help but let out a series of cold laughs.
âJust you wait, you damned woman!â Elder Foster said viciously.
âOnce the sect master catches and brings you back, weâll see how Iâll deal with you!â Elder Foster said with a lewd grin.
In his mind, he imagined the Pavilion Masterâs stunning figure and couldnât help but swallow his saliva.
The Medicine God Pavilion was quiet.
Although the Medicine God Pavilion still had a reserve of herbs, without new herbs to supply, it would eventually run out.
âLord Pavilion Master, our current supply of herbs can last at most half a month.â An attendant stood by the pavilion master and whispered.
There was not a trace of emotion on the pavilion masterâs cold face.
She gazed into the distance and quietly said, âI understand, just take the rest of the half month off.â
âYes, Lord Pavilion Master.â The attendant hastily nodded.
This was the first time in the history of the Medicine God Pavilion that such a massive vacation was given.
Although the alchemists within the Pavilion were mostly quite free before, the Medicine God Pavilion had never openly announced a vacation before.
Soon, news of this spread throughout the Medicine God Pavilion, and everyone couldnât help but gossip.
âEthan Smith, you mustnât let everyone downâ¦â Fifth Elder sighed quietly.
There was a club in Capital City.
This club was jointly funded by a few aristocratic families.
The club wasnât open to the public, and the guests were all from prominent families.
On this day, Kylan Taylor, Reilly Blair, and Emerson Holmes from the Capital City Martial Arts Association gathered here.
In addition to them, there was an old man dressed in white robes.
Although the old man had white hair, he was full of vitality and in no way inferior to a young person.
This old man was none other than the sect master of the Great Saint Sect, Joshua Hess!
âWhat do you need from us?â Kylan Taylor casually said as he smoked a cigar.
Joshua Hess quietly said, âMr. Taylor, this time I came to discuss the issue of Medicine God Pavilion with you.â
âMedicine God Pavilion?â Kylan Taylorâs face turned cold, and he couldnât help but snort.
He couldnât help but picture the arrogant attitude of the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion in his mind.
Joshua Hess continued, âThe Medicine God Pavilion has become wildly arrogant, completely disregarding us.â
Then, he explained the details of the incident to everyone present.
âLord Hess, this Medicine God Pavilion is untouchable. Many peopleâs health depends on their alchemists,â Reilly Blair said with a frown.
Joshua Hess nodded slightly and said, âThatâs precisely why I came to discuss it with you.â
Kylan Taylor snorted, âAre they even untouchable? Itâs just a Medicine God Pavilion; itâs not like no one can replace it.â
âMr. Taylor, you are mistaken,â Emerson Holmes from the side shook his head.
He said with a calm tone, âThe Lord of Medicine God Pavilionâs alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world. At least for now, no one can replace her.â
âBesides⦠her connections involve people above us,â Emerson Holmes hinted, pointing to the ceiling.
There werenât many people with a higher status than them.
The people present, of course, understood.
âElder Holmes, why be so cautious?â Kylan Taylor sneered.
âAs an alchemist, just focus on treating diseases and refining pills. Why bother with anything else?â
âWe can completely teach the Medicine God Pavilion a lesson. At worst, just spare her life.â
Kylan Taylor was obviously the boldest of them all.
He had loathed Medicine God Pavilion for a long time.
Emerson Holmes was silent for a moment, then said, âIâll go back and discuss with my superior about this matter.â
âWhatâs there to discuss!â Kylan Taylor stood up and said.
He turned to Joshua Hess and said, âJoshua Hess, I order you to immediately lead an attack on the Medicine God Pavilion and teach them a lesson.â
Joshua Hess looked awkwardly at the others.
Kylan Taylor impatiently said, âIâll take all responsibility! Remember, we need to capture that woman, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion, alive.â
Upon hearing this, Joshua Hess quickly stood up and said, âI understand.â
After leaving, Joshua Hess returned to the Great Saint Sect.
That day, the Great Saint Sect published a war declaration on the Martial Arts Forum:
Ethan Smith humiliates our Great Saint Sect, kills our sectâs disciples, and destroys our treasure! His actions warrant punishment!
Within three days, if the Medicine God Pavilion does not hand over Ethan Smith, our Great Saint Sect will take tough measures against the Medicine God Pavilion!
