Martial Master

After discovering that the Tianhuo Palace had been opened by someone, the Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang was first filled not with anger, but with ecstasy.

Ouyang Hongguang, ah Ouyang Hongguang, you’ve been clever all your life, yet you’ve ultimately fallen into my hands.

"Come here, immediately notify the Law Enforcement Hall, and inform the Elder Council... Ouyang Hongguang has privately opened the Tianhuo Palace and brought people to invade it. Now I suspect he has secretly colluded with outside martial artists to steal the flames from our Alchemy Pavilion's Tianhuo Palace. Such a crime is unforgivable; go notify the Elders at once."

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of people burst forth, ecstatic, rushing out of Tianhuo Palace to deliver the news swiftly.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Hongguang led the remaining people toward him, waving his hand coldly, saying, "Take down Ouyang Hongguang and Ouyang Nana."

"Yes!"

Tianfeng Yaodi and the others showed fierce expressions, and a group immediately pounced on Ouyang Hongguang, while Xue Zigui coldly lunged toward Ouyang Nana, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes. As long as Ouyang Nana was stripped of her status as a Holy Daughter, wouldn't the entire Alchemy Pavilion be ruled solely by his Xue family?

Seeing the crowd rapidly approaching, Ouyang Hongguang sighed internally. He knew the matter had been exposed, but it was impossible for him to surrender. With a cold snort, a terrifying power surged from within him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A tsunami-like terrifying pressure burst forth, instantly sending Tianfeng Yaodi and the others flying, landing in disarray behind Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang, their faces pale.

Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Ouyang Hongguang, you dare to resist? Do you want me to personally capture you?"

Ouyang Hongguang snorted coldly, "Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang, stop slandering me. If you want to accuse me of stealing from the Tianhuo Palace, you should at least have evidence. You can't just take me down with empty words; isn't that a bit hasty?"

At this point, Ouyang Hongguang could only argue his case to buy time.

Although he didn't understand why Chen Shao was so eager to come to Tianhuo Palace, the confidence in the other party’s eyes deeply affected him, especially since Qin Chen had easily opened the Tianhuo Palace earlier, leaving Ouyang Hongguang with a glimmer of hope.

However, Ouyang Nana beside him had already descended into despair. She did not know as much as Ouyang Hongguang and only realized that their situation was dire, her face filled with gloom.

“At this point, you still refuse to see reason? When the Pavilion Master arrives, I’ll see how you explain…” Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang was not anxious. He was already certain that Ouyang Hongguang had led people into Tianhuo Palace. Since the other party wanted to struggle like a cornered beast, he didn't mind. As long as the Pavilion Master discovered that the key to Tianhuo Palace was missing, the Ouyang family would inevitably face destruction.

In Deputy Pavilion Master Wenchang's mind, Ouyang Hongguang had certainly stolen the Pavilion Master’s key to have brought people into Tianhuo Palace.

At this moment, the news of Ouyang Hongguang leading outsiders into Tianhuo Palace had rapidly spread throughout the Alchemy Pavilion, thanks to the deliberate dissemination by the Xue family.

Boom!

A single stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves.

The entire Alchemy Pavilion was in an uproar. The first reaction of each alchemist who heard the news was disbelief, the second was shock, and the third was anger.

Ouyang Hongguang actually brought outsiders into Tianhuo Palace. Is that true?

That was outrageous.

Tianhuo Palace was one of the core places of the Alchemy Pavilion. Even some elder-level figures did not have the qualifications to enter and comprehend its secrets; it was the most crucial asset of the Alchemy Pavilion. Generally, one had to obtain the Pavilion Master’s approval to enter.
