The leading expert from the Alchemy Pavilion shook his head but admired Qin Chen inwardly.
To be able to remain completely still under the pressure of two guards from the Ancient Yu Realm, and not fear their authority, Qin Chen truly lived up to his reputation as the champion of the lower four domains' Alchemy competition. Compared to the other two, he had much more backbone, so it was no wonder that Master Ouyang Zhengqi asked him to take care of this person.
This child is indeed extraordinary, not an ordinary person.
As an expert from the Alchemy Pavilion, he had previously been obstructed and troubled by the guards from the Ancient Yu Realm. Did he not feel angry? It's just that as an expert, it was naturally inappropriate for him to intervene recklessly, to avoid being accused of bullying the weak. Now that Qin Chen stepped forward and taught the other party a lesson, he was actually pleased with this outcome.
As Qin Chen said, they were just two watchdogs, yet they dared to be so arrogant towards the Alchemy Pavilion. Did they really think the Alchemy Pavilion was easy to bully?
As for reprimanding Qin Chen, it was also out of concern for his future safety. However, he could see that Qin Chen did not take his words to heart at all; he just shook his head helplessly. This kind of genius often had an unruly disposition. He could only hope that nothing would happen to him in the Ancient Yu Realm, which was not as wonderful as they imagined.
A group of people swept across the sky.
What came into view was an incredibly vast mountain range, and within this mountain range, numerous luxurious palaces were astonishingly situated, exuding grandeur.
"This is the outskirts of the Ancient Yu Realm. The real Ancient Yu Realm is deep within the mountains, and only on the day it opens can one enter. These palaces are the temporary residences of the major forces of the Martial Domain. Follow me."
The leading expert from the Alchemy Pavilion swayed and led a few people into a palace below. The entire palace covered a vast area, situated halfway up the mountain, magnificent and awe-inspiring.
"Old Gu, you’ve arrived! These three are the winners of this lower four domains Alchemy competition?"
Someone below swept out and, upon seeing the newcomers, immediately laughed heartily.
"Mission accomplished! Finally, we’ve arrived. Unlike you, who has been sitting here comfortably," the leading expert from the Alchemy Pavilion chuckled.
"Comfortable? We came here just to pass the time. We won't be entering the Ancient Yu Realm anyway," an elder at the front grunted a couple of times.
"Haha, Old Chen, don’t be dissatisfied. You and I are both at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm. Even if we enter the Ancient Yu Realm, what difference does it make? Other than mastering a few more Spatial Laws, we cannot become a Nineth Level Martial God. This opportunity is naturally reserved for the young ones."
"Tch, Old Xu, do you think I don’t know this principle? I’m just venting a little. Come, Old Gu, it took you so long to arrive; let’s go drink. We’ve been here for months, and it’s so dull that even the birds have come out. Who knows when the Ancient Yu Realm will open?" Elder Chen complained.
"Haha, you all start drinking; I’ll be there shortly. I need to settle these three first," the leading expert from the Alchemy Pavilion smiled.
Elder Chen looked dissatisfied at Qin Chen and the others and said, "What is there to settle? You've already brought them here; this small matter should not require you to do it. I’ll find someone to help you. Besides, three grown men, can’t they find their own way?"
"This won't do." The leading expert from the Alchemy Pavilion smiled and said, "The Pavilion has instructed that I must personally settle the three. Also, I need to find the Holy Daughter Ouyang."
"Eh? What do you need the Holy Daughter for?" Old Chen was a bit surprised.
"It was Master Ouyang Zhengqi's instruction. These three are from the lower four domains and are unfamiliar with this place. Master Ouyang Zhengqi wants the Holy Daughter to guide them and help them familiarize themselves with the environment."
