“Now, Chen Shao should have entered the Tianhuo Palace, right? I wonder why he had to make such a decision. With our identities, if we directly meet with the Pavilion Master, along with Chen Shao and Vice Pavilion Master Ouyang, the probability of persuading the Pavilion Master is still quite high. After all, both you and I have a good relationship with the Pavilion Master. But Chen Shao insists on going to the Tianhuo Palace. If anything goes wrong there, it would be a total failure and make the Pavilion Master completely believe in Wenchang and the others.”
Ji Jing Dan Di shook his head, not understanding Qin Chen's intentions at all.
"Yes, the Tianhuo Palace, what kind of place is that? It is the Pavilion Master's most valued place. If anything goes wrong, even with our two appearances, it would probably be useless," Situ Xingzhou also sighed, feeling uneasy in his heart.
The two of them couldn't stop Qin Chen, and coupled with their anxious feelings, they came to this inn outside the Dan Tower, pouring their own drinks, actually waiting for news.
“Ancestor, it’s bad, something big has happened.”
Just as the two were drinking merrily, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the private room, followed by a bang as the door was flung open, and Situ Zhen rushed in anxiously from outside.
Situ Xingzhou and Ji Jing Dan Di were immediately startled, and upon seeing Situ Zhen's panicked expression, their hearts sank instantly. The faces that were flushed from drinking returned to normal in an instant, and the alcohol was forced out of their bodies as they said in a deep voice, “What exactly happened?”
The two felt a hint of unease in their hearts, praying that it wasn't something happening at the Tianhuo Palace.
“Ancestor, Ji Jing Dan Di, Vice Pavilion Master Wenchang seems to have received news from somewhere and has blocked Ouyang Hongguang and Ouyang Nana at the Tianhuo Palace. The news has already spread throughout the Dan Tower, and now the Tianhuo Palace is filled with people. The Pavilion Master will probably learn of the news soon.”
What?
Clang! The wine cups in Situ Xingzhou and Ji Jing Dan Di's hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Just as they feared, how could this situation arise?
“Then what about Chen Shao?” Ji Jing Dan Di asked anxiously.
“Wenchang and the others did not find Chen Shao outside the Tianhuo Palace, but they discovered that the main entrance of the Tianhuo Palace had been opened. They now suspect that Chen Shao is inside the Tianhuo Palace and have already informed the Elder Council and the Law Enforcement Hall,” Situ Zhen said with a face full of worry.
“How could this be…? No way!” The two were completely stunned.
“Are you sure the news is true? The key to the Tianhuo Palace is in the Pavilion Master's hands. Chen Shao doesn’t have the key; how could he enter the Tianhuo Palace?” Ji Jing Dan Di and Situ Xingzhou looked at each other in disbelief. The Tianhuo Palace’s restrictions were strict; if there was no key, even they couldn't break in, so how did Chen Shao get inside?
“The news is absolutely true. As for how Chen Shao got in, I don’t know. Ancestor, what should we do now?” Situ Zhen was completely panicked.
“What else can we do? Let’s go to the Tianhuo Palace first.”
As the two finished speaking, they rushed out of the inn and quickly made their way to the nearby Dan Tower.
Inside the Tianhuo Palace.
At this moment, it was surrounded by countless alchemy masters, making it impossible to leak a drop of water.
Ouyang Hongguang was surrounded by everyone, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart, but as the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion, no one dared to act against him.
However, as more and more powerful figures arrived, his heart gradually sank.
“Everyone, step aside.” A cold voice rang out, followed by a powerful figure in a silver alchemist robe landing in the Tianhuo Palace, his expression dark.
“It’s Silver Moon Dan Di!” The crowd stirred slightly.
