Martial Master

“Jin Shengjie, what else do you have to say?”

The master of Xuan Cheng Pavilion showed a displeased expression. If he had not realized that Kang Youming and Jin Shengjie had already colluded together, then he truly did not deserve to be the master of the Alchemy Pavilion.

“Master, I have also heard some bad news. I do not want our Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion to fall into turmoil, so I spoke up. I hope you can understand, Master.”

Jin Shengjie said loudly, his voice like thunder, rolling and resonating.

“What urgent matter must be discussed at this time?” The master of Xuan Cheng Pavilion said coldly. If Jin Shengjie could not provide a sufficient reason, regardless of who he was, he would definitely face severe punishment.

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Jin Shengjie’s mouth as he said, “Because this matter is of great importance, it must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, if Qin Chen becomes the Holy Son of our Alchemy Pavilion, it could potentially bring catastrophic disaster to our Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion.”

Such audacity!

Everyone gasped in surprise. What exactly was Jin Shengjie talking about? He actually dared to say it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion.

The Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion is a subordinate branch of the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion, and the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion is one of the top forces in the Tianwu Continent. Could it really face a catastrophic disaster because its Holy Son offended the Demon Sword Sect and the Fengxing Sect? Isn’t this a joke?

“Oh?” The master of Xuan Cheng Pavilion had already lost the desire to waste words. He looked at Jin Shengjie and Kang Youming. If they could not offer a reasonable explanation, he would not show them any mercy. “Master, please wait a moment, I will definitely give you an explanation.” Jin Shengjie cupped his hands, then looked at Qin Chen, his eyes flashing with sharpness, and said, “Qin Chen, your alchemy skills are commendable, but I have heard that you went on a killing spree during the Demon Sword Sect's inheritance, slaying the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect and core disciples of the Fengxing Sect. Is there any truth to this?”

Everyone turned to look. It seemed this matter was related to the conflict between Qin Chen and the two royal-level forces. However, even if Qin Chen had indeed killed disciples from the two royal-level forces, there was no need to speak so confidently, right?

Compared to the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion, what were the Demon Sword Sect and the Fengxing Sect? They were nothing!

Things should not be this simple. Everyone remained silent, only watching Qin Chen. “To add a crime, there’s never a shortage of excuses. I indeed participated in the Demon Sword Sect's inheritance, but it was not I who killed the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect and the Fengxing Sect. It was merely an internal struggle for power among the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect, leading to mutual slaughter. The real culprit was another seed disciple of the Demon Sword Sect, Han Li, who has already been punished by the sect’s leader, Yan Shijiu. This matter has been made clear; there’s no need to pin it on me, right?” Qin Chen said calmly, looking at Yan Shijiu.

“I...” Yan Shijiu was momentarily at a loss for words. He did not speak because what Qin Chen said was indeed the truth. There were too many witnesses at that time, and he had no way to refute it, only saying, “There were too many doubts at that time; it’s very possible that my sect overlooked something.”

“What a great oversight!” Qin Chen sneered. “You dare to bring up matters that have already been resolved? Do you not take the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion seriously?”

“Impudent!” The master of Xuan Cheng Pavilion suddenly shouted in anger. “You dare to pin the mutual slaughter of disciples of the Demon Sword Sect on my Alchemy Pavilion? It seems the Demon Sword Sect and the Fengxing Sect have grown too bold, even disregarding the face of my Alchemy City.”
