Martial Master

“Boom!” A terrifying hand, like an eagle's claw, grasped towards Qin Chen, the void of this world was completely confined. As the Great Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, Sikong Hao was obviously one of the top three figures within the pavilion, how could his cultivation possibly be weak?

Just as his hand was about to touch Qin Chen, suddenly a hand reached out from behind, instantly grabbing Sikong Hao's hand like catching a chick.

“What?”

Sikong Hao was shocked and looked up, only to find that the one who had caught his hand was actually the Pavilion Master, Mo Yuanbai. At this moment, Mo Yuanbai was staring at him with a cold gaze, his expression indifferent.

“Pavilion Master, what are you doing…” Sikong Hao was taken aback, the Pavilion Master’s gaze seemed a bit off, but before he could finish his thoughts, Mo Yuanbai had already slapped him with a backhand.

“Spare me, Pavilion Master!”

In shock, Sikong Hao hurriedly begged for mercy while trying to resist Mo Yuanbai's slap, but he felt an invisible force sweeping over him; his inner true essence had actually solidified, making it impossible to mobilize.

With a “smack,” Mo Yuanbai slapped Sikong Hao's face hard, immediately sending him flying, crashing heavily to the ground, half of his face instantly swelled up, looking like a bun.

“Great Elder!”

Deputy Pavilion Master Wen Chang and the others hurriedly shouted, while the other alchemy masters looked at Mo Yuanbai in shock, completely bewildered, not knowing what had just happened.

What the hell is going on?

Why did the Pavilion Master suddenly attack the Great Elder?

Even Situ Xingzhou and the others were dumbfounded. They were initially worried that Qin Chen would encounter some mishap, but now they looked entirely dazed.

“Pavilion Master, what are you doing?”

Sikong Hao jumped up, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face looking very unpleasant as he said. Flames erupted from his eyes, forming two fiery rulers.

As a master of the alchemy pathway, he naturally cultivated fire laws, showcasing unique expertise in flames.

“Do I need a reason to hit you?

Who gave you the courage to act in front of me?”

Mo Yuanbai was extremely displeased with Sikong Hao now that he understood the truth. This guy had actually colluded with the Piao Miao Palace, which had killed his master back then. He had once trusted him so much; after inheriting the position from his master, he had pushed Sikong Hao to the position of Great Elder. Thinking back, it was truly blinding.

Sikong Hao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood; he was punished just for acting against the Pavilion Master?

He wasn’t a fool; his heart sank, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Deputy Pavilion Master Wen Chang hadn’t figured out the situation yet, jumping out to say, “Pavilion Master, the Great Elder did not intend to offend you; it’s just that this kid here is Qin Chen from the Thunder City, colluding with the Demon Tribe and trespassing into our Alchemy Pavilion’s Heavenly Fire Hall. The Great Elder was overly concerned about the Alchemy Tower, which is why he acted rashly. I ask you to order the capture of Situ Xingzhou and the others for strict interrogation; we will definitely get some information out of them.”

He smirked, thinking he had the upper hand over Situ Xingzhou and the others.

However, Situ Xingzhou and the others were much more astute. Their eyes flashed as they looked at Qin Chen, who showed no sign of panic on his face; additionally, the Pavilion Master’s earlier actions were somewhat strange.

Could it be that Young Hero Chen had already persuaded the Pavilion Master?

Thinking of this, several of them felt a jolt of excitement.

“In my view, it is you who are colluding with the Demon Tribe, right?”

Mo Yuanbai said coldly.

“What?”

Sikong Hao and the others were startled, their hair standing on end, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

“Pavilion Master, did you fall for this kid’s sweet talk? Please see clearly, we are loyal to the Alchemy Pavilion, how could we collude with the Demon Tribe? Furthermore, this kid pretends to be the disciple of the Breaking Dust Martial Emperor, you must have been deceived by him!”
