Martial Master

“This Huang family has practically doomed us.” The first words that General Jia said upon waking were this.

The message in the jade slip not only clearly confirmed the identities of Qin Chen and Zhuo Qingfeng, but also indicated that the other party was afraid that General Jia would offend them. It sternly pointed out the events that occurred in the Alchemy Pavilion.

It warned General Jia that once he met the two, he must be respectful and cannot act rashly. This matter involved the conflict between Deputy Pavilion Master Kang Youming and the lineage of Xuan Yi Yaowang, and the news had even reached the ears of the Pavilion Master. Their lineage must not get involved in the disputes between these two sides.

They must read the situation!

How could General Jia not tremble at this?

From the tone of the elder behind him, it could be seen that even the elder who was his backing needed to be cautious in front of the two. What was he, a mere leader of the Alchemy City, worth?

In short, one thing was clear: they had to show respect to Qin Chen and the others; otherwise, even the elder behind him could not protect him.

“General, what is the situation?”

General Jia’s subordinates were confused and immediately asked anxiously. General Jia naturally did not dare to be careless and explained their identities.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a series of gasps echoed throughout the alley. The once arrogant guards all turned pale, their faces as if coated with powder. Some were so frightened that their legs went weak, directly sitting down on the ground.

What had they just done?

They had been arrogant in front of someone who even the Holy Son of the Alchemy City dared to teach a lesson to. Wasn’t that like the old longevity star hanging himself—asking for death?

“It’s over, it’s over! What should we do, General?”

“Yes, what should we do now?”

The many guards who had been arrogant just moments ago were now like quails terrified out of their wits, panicking and completely lost.

“Everyone, calm down.” General Jia took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Since we have already offended them, there’s no need to think about anything else. The other party can let us go, which clearly means they haven’t taken what happened earlier to heart. What we need to do now is follow their arrangements and complete the tasks handed down by the two masters.”

“Yes, let’s complete the tasks handed down by the two masters well.”

The group vowed earnestly.

While these guards were in a state of panic, the big man who had gone to inform the Huang family finally delivered the news back to them.

Upon learning that Huang Huan had been taught a lesson and was suppressed at the Zhuo family's Alchemy Tower, the entire Huang family was instantly enraged.

“Rebellion! This Zhuo family has truly lost their minds!”

“Who knows where they got such a powerful expert from, to dare to act against our Huang family!”

“It seems the Zhuo family won’t shed tears until they see the coffin.”

“Patriarch, could it be that the Zhuo family received help from Xuan Yi Yaowang, which is why they became so arrogant?”

“Impossible! The Zhuo family has done so many wrong things, how could Xuan Yi Yaowang continue to tolerate them? If he were willing to act, the Zhuo family wouldn’t be in such a state, not to mention that the Zhuo family also caused the death of Xuan Yi Yaowang’s most beloved disciple, Lu Wencheng.”

The high-ranking members of the Huang family discussed fiercely, nearly without hesitation, they dispatched a group of powerful experts, furiously heading toward the Zhuo family's Alchemy Tower.

The Huang family dispatched a large force this time, with many members, but the core consisted of four people: three elders and one middle-aged man.

The three elders were all early-stage Martial Emperors, while the middle-aged man was the brother of the Huang family’s patriarch, one of the family’s main overseers, whose cultivation also reached early-stage level eight.
