Li Mu’s face paled immediately.

Didn’t he get teleported away to that place by a teleportation array? How did he return alive?

When Han Mo saw the way Li Mu was acting, he understood immediately.

“Hmph.” Elder Qian snorted coldly and pulled Li Mu back to his senses. After that, he looked at Sima You Yue and asked arrogantly, “You must be Sima You Yue?”

“That is I.” Sima You Yue nodded.

“Why did you come to your guild today? You should know that the average person cannot simply come as they wish without an invitation?!” Elder Clan berated her, “Furthermore, I even hear that you were standing outside our guild doors and attacking our guards. Does your Sima Clan plan to rise against our Alchemist Guild?”

Sima You Yue laughed coldly, this was a real set up, alright! He even pulled in the Sima Clan. Was he trying to stop her from coming here and raising a fuss?

“We do not plan on rising against the Alchemist Guid. I only want to discuss some personal matters with Li Mu.” Sima You Yue said.

“Li Mu? I heard that you guys had some issues beforehand. When you competed last time, he lost and had to pay the bet. He had to call you Boss in the future.” Elder Qian didn’t even bat an eyelid as he continued, “Since you have such talent, do you wish to enter our Alchemist Guild?”

Elder Qian said all these things in one go, and did not give Sima You Yue a chance to interject at all. It was clear that he was trying to help Li Mu blow over this event.

If it was the average person, they would definitely be thrown off guard when they heard him offer them a place in the Alchemist Guild. They would not continue to rebut him to continue settling things with Li Mu.

However, Sima You Yue paid that no heed and said, “Thank you, Elder Qian, for your good intentions. HOwever, I do not wish to join the Alchemist Guild. I first want to have a chat with Li Mu.”

“Do you look down on the Alchemist Guild?” Elder Qian’s eyes narrowed, peeved that Sima You Yue was disrespecting him. “We merely wanted to show you grace because you got lost and entered our guild’s teleportation array, ending up missing for tens of days. Do you think that you would be given this chance otherwise?”

“Got lost and entered your teleportation array?” Sima You Yue saw that Elder Qian was acting as if he had granted her a big favour and said, “I did not get lost. But I think that Li Mu should be the clearest on this, right? I’m guessing that Elder Qian knows as well.”

“What do I know? Brat, you better not refuse our toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” Elder Qian’s face fell immediately.

“Sorry, I don’t feel like drinking any kind alcohol.” Sima You Yue said, “I merely come to collect Li Mu’s debt. Elder Qian, it’s better for you to stand to one side without interfering.”

“Presumptuous!” Elder Qian was fully enraged and flames were about to shoot from his eyes when he looked at Sima You Yue.

How many years had it been since someone had dared speak to him in this way.

Sima You Yue did not even look at him, but turned towards Li Mu, saying, “Li Mu, you must have been preparing your heart these few days?”

Li Mu already appeared lifeless from the moment aht Sima You Yue had appeared. He did not know why. Even though Elder Qian had promised him that nothing would happen, unadulterated fear still pierced through his heart.

The murderous aura in Sima You Yue’s eyes was dense, causing him to feel like he was already enveloped in an aura of death.

When he heard what Sima You Yue said, he replied calmly, “I have no idea what you are talking about. If you are planning to commit violence in the guild, there’s no way we would let you do as you wish!”

“Sima You Yue, this is the Alchemist guild. It is not your the home of your Sima Clan!” Elder Qian berated, “Men, take them down!”

A group of guards rushed in from outside, surrounding Sima You Yue and the others. Even the weakest of them all was a Spirit Saint.

Sima You Yue swept a gaze over them. It couldn’t be that any random guard was a Spirit Saint, right? It looked like they had come prepared.

She could tell Elder Qian’s intentions, and Sima You Yue was too lazy to continue speaking with him. She directly called out Halcyon and said, “Halcyon, take him. We’re leaving!”

“Sacred Beast!”

When the Alchemist Guild members saw Halcyon, they were immediately thrown off. Li Mu was immediately thrown into despair. He knew that he had lost all hope.

Halcyon didn’t say a thing, and directly pulled him over.

“The Li Clan has not yet left the mountain range right?” Sima You Yue looked at Li Mu and said, “I really want to know who was the one who had set up the array. His mastery level is pretty high. Little Roc, let’s go.”

Little Roc appeared, took the Sima Clansmen and flew out of the Alchemist Guild.

“Elder, what can we do now?” A guard asked.

“What else can we do? Do you want me to let you all battle that Sacred Beast?” Elder Qian cursed.

“Then are we just going to let them take Li Mu away?” I heard that Sima You Yue is one who definitely takes revenge. There will only be disaster if we let him take Li Mu away!” An elder who had just rushed in said.

“Hmph, isn’t Sima You Yue a member of the Sima Clan? Since the Sima Clan dares to act against our Alchemist guild, they can’t blame us for punishing them! Men, go and capture all of those from the Sima Clan.” Elder Qian said.

At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside and handed a letter over to Elder Qian.

Elder Qian’s expression turned extremely ugly the moment he saw the letter.

What wrong?” Han Mo saw that something was off, and asked.

Everyone else looked at him too. They didn’t understand why the raging Elder Qian would suddenly freeze like a statue.

Elder Qian handed the letter over to another senior standing by his side. That senior was also incomparably surprised when he saw what was written in the letter.

“Senior?”

That elder steadied himself and said, “This is a letter personally sent from the Sage Pavilion’s owner. It writes that the Holy Son from earlier on, has said that Sima You Yue is his junior brother. Since Li Mu and the Li Clan have plotted against his junior brother, it is an unpardonable crime. Now that his junior brother wants to settle the score with Li Mu, he hopes that our guild will not interfere. Otherwise, we might evoke the Holy Son’s fury, and even the Sage Pavilion will not be able to calm his rage.”

“What!”

Everyone onsite was stunned. Especially Han Mo. He had just acquainted himself with Wu Lingyu before and never expected that Sima You Yue would be his junior brother. Now that the Sage Pavilion had produced a letter like this, it was clearly protecting Sima You Yue and his clan!

“Disperse.” Elder Qian was no supporter of the Sage Pavilion, but he couldn’t not be a supporter of the Sage Pavilion of the upper realms. If he evoked their ire, causing them to send men down here, the entire continent would be destroyed!

“Then, Li Mu… he…”

“Sigh…”

Elder Qian heaved a big sigh and left. Although he didn’t make it explicit, everyone knew that the Alchemist Guild could not protect Li Mu this time.

Sima You Yue did not know that a single word from Wu Lingyu would settle all the aftermath of what she had decided to do. At this moment, she was leading her Sima Clan towards the Li Clan.

The Li Clan had already left Saint City a day ago, but they had moved slowly, so they were not even out of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain when Sima You Yue and the others caught up to them.

“Clan Leader, someone is gaining on us!”

The Li Clansmen could feel Sima You Yue and the others chasing after them, and decided to stop.

Sima You Yue stood on Little Roc’s back and called out towards the Li Clan, asking, “Who is Li Fei?”

“Is that Li Mu?” The Li Clansmen could tell at a glance that Sima You Yue had thrown Li Mu across the back of Little Roc, and were incredibly incensed.
