Martial Master

The eldest elder at the forefront was an old man in his sixties, with grizzled hair. Although he was aging, he exuded a terrifying aura akin to that of an abyss, vast and boundless.

Especially striking were his pair of bright and gleaming eyes, completely uncharacteristic of an old man's, radiating endless brilliance. With steady steps, he moved as if flying.

This man was the eldest elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, a powerful figure within the Pavilion who presided over both the Law Hall and the Elder Council, far more influential than any individual vice pavilion master.

Within the Alchemy Pavilion, even the pavilion master had to heed some of his opinions.

When the news of the Bloodline Holy Land reached the Alchemy Pavilion, they convened a meeting to discuss how to deal with Tianlei City. Initially, with the backing of the two supreme elders, the Extreme Mirror Martial Emperor and Situ Xingzhou, Ouyang Hongguang thought victory was assured.

At the last moment, it was the eldest elder who spoke, siding with Vice Pavilion Master Wenchang, which prevented Ouyang Hongguang's side from gaining the upper hand, causing the matter to drag on.

Now, upon the eldest elder's appearance, Ouyang Hongguang's heart sank.

"What exactly is going on?"

The eldest elder strolled directly into the Tianhuo Hall and coldly inquired.

"Eldest Elder, you arrived just in time. Ouyang Hongguang has betrayed the Alchemy Pavilion by bringing outsiders into the Tianhuo Hall. This matter is of great importance, and we dare not make rash judgments, which is why we summoned you. We ask you to uphold justice," Wenchang, the vice pavilion master, immediately stepped forward and spoke respectfully, a sinister smile curling at his lips.

"Ouyang Hongguang, is this true?"

The eldest elder's gaze deepened as he spoke coldly.

Boom! Suddenly, a terrifying pressure swept out, causing countless experts in the arena to retreat, while Ouyang Hongguang's face turned pale, involuntarily taking a step back.

The eldest elder's strength was exceptional; he had been a peak Martial God expert three hundred years ago, and at one point was the first candidate for the Alchemy Pavilion's pavilion master.

However, at a critical moment, the current pavilion master emerged, leading the previous pavilion master to pass the position to Mo Yuanbai, making him an unexpected dark horse.

But it was undeniable that the eldest elder was the top figure in the Alchemy Pavilion, second only to the pavilion master, unmatched in cultivation.

Ouyang Hongguang remained silent, not uttering a word, merely coldly staring at the eldest elder.

From the moment the eldest elder supported Vice Pavilion Master Wenchang in the last meeting, Ouyang Hongguang had already seen through this person's character and naturally had nothing to say.

Vice Pavilion Master Wenchang sneered, "Ouyang Hongguang, did you think your silence would suffice?

Xing Fei, come and tell the eldest elder whether Ouyang Hongguang previously brought anyone into the Tianhuo Hall?"

Xing Fei stepped forward, looking alarmed and uneasy.

The eldest elder's voice was indifferent: "Speak!"

With a thud, Xing Fei fell to his knees. "I have sinned, Vice Pavilion Master Ouyang Hongguang... he did bring a young man into the Tianhuo Hall, claiming he was his disciple, so I..."

Xing Fei's voice trembled, unable to finish his sentence. He knew that his future was over; even if he were not executed, he would be guilty of serious dereliction of duty, with no future left.

Wow! Xing Fei's words instantly ignited the entire arena.

This was indeed true?

Bringing outsiders into the Tianhuo Hall was a grave crime.

"Where is that young man now?"

The eldest elder coldly asked again.

"I do not know. Pavilion Master Ouyang only said he brought his disciple to comprehend the aura of the Tianhuo Hall. I did not think much of it..." Xing Fei stammered, utterly terrified.

Vice Pavilion Master Wenchang stepped forward, sneering, "Eldest Elder, I know for a fact that I already searched this place and found no trace of that young man. However, I unexpectedly discovered that the door to the Tianhuo Hall had been opened, so I have reason to suspect that Vice Pavilion Master Ouyang Hongguang stole the pavilion master's key to unlock this door. That young man should be inside the Tianhuo Hall right now."
