Looking at the furious expression of the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master, many of the Apothecary Kings' faces changed slightly, even doubting if their choices were wrong. But at this point, even if they wanted to regret their decisions, it was impossible; they could only follow Kang Youming and Jin Shengjie down a path of no return.
"As elders of the Pill Dao City, you eat from both sides; you're worse than pigs and dogs!"
The Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master sneered, with a murderous intent boiling in his eyes, causing Jin Shengjie and the others to feel a chill in their hearts, as if something ominous was about to descend.
"You think that because you have numbers on your side, this old man won't punish you? You're thinking too much. Since you all wish to rebel against me, very well. From today on, Jin Shengjie, like Kang Youming, will no longer be the Vice Master of the Alchemy Pavilion. And you all, will no longer be elders of the Alchemy Pavilion. Get the hell out of here!" The Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master glared at the group before him, his expression cold.
He had previously endured all of this solely for the greater good of the Pill Dao City. The two Vice Masters and many Apothecary Kings indeed held significant positions. But now, these people had actually colluded with outsiders to bully their own, crossing the bottom line of the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master.
You think I won't dare to move against you, or can't move against you?
Naive!
"Dream on!" Jin Shengjie jumped up suddenly, pointing at the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master with a furious expression.
If they were truly expelled from the Pill Dao City, it would be an indelible humiliation in their lives, a laughingstock wherever they went. More importantly, an alchemist without a foothold in the Alchemy Pavilion—who would care?
Alchemists have a high status because they rely on the Alchemy Pavilion as their backing; otherwise, some people, driven by jealousy, wouldn’t hesitate to imprison alchemists to make them refine pills day and night.
There were not just one or two major forces holding such thoughts.
The Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master ignored this and turned to Apothecary King Xuan Yi and the others, saying, "Apothecary King Xuan Yi, from today on, you will once again become the Vice Master of my Pill Dao City. Once this matter is settled, I'll inform the higher-up Alchemy Pavilion at the first opportunity. I, Xuan Sheng, want to see who in this small Northern Heaven Domain Alchemy Pavilion can turn the tables on me. If you are dissatisfied, feel free to go complain to the higher-up Alchemy Pavilion; I don't believe that I, the Pavilion Master of the Northern Heaven Domain Alchemy Pavilion, can't handle a few of you."
His face was covered with a frost-like severity, exuding an unspeakable dominance.
Who said he could only refine pills?
Everyone was overwhelmed by the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master’s aura, feeling their hearts stir and their scalps tingle.
The Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master indeed had great courage, casually dismissing two Vice Masters and over twenty Apothecary Kings without a second thought.
To know that there were only a few dozen Apothecary Kings in the entire Alchemy Pavilion, this move directly cut off one-third of the Apothecary Kings. What normal person would have such courage?
"I support Lord Pavilion Master! Just a few Vice Masters who think they can go against the heavens just because they have some followers?" Huangfu Nan sneered.
He also came from the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion. When it came to a legal battle, how could Kang Youming and the others possibly win? They thought they could pressure the Pavilion Master just because they had garnered some Apothecary Kings? They were still too naive.
"I support Lord Pavilion Master!"
Other Apothecary Kings, stirred by emotions, echoed in agreement.
Some were indeed intimidated by the authority of the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master, but a large portion of them could not stand the actions of Kang Youming and the others.
Facing a great enemy, they were betraying their own; how could they suppress a genius Apothecary like Qin Chen? If such people controlled the Pill Dao City, what future would the Pill Dao City have?
