Martial Master

After Mo Yuanbai issued the order, those like Situ Xingzhou who received the command quickly prepared to set out.

Soon, within the Alchemy Pavilion, many powerful figures led by Situ Xingzhou began to move out, with teams of experts rushing into the Xue family and other families like a mighty army.

“What are you people? Do you know whose territory this is? Do you all want to die?”

Inside the Xue family’s shop, some guards were still trying to figure out what was happening. Seeing that someone dared to cause trouble in their Xue family’s shop, they instantly became furious and shouted arrogantly.

“Hmph, the Xue family? There will be no more Xue family from now on, take them all down.”

However, these guards paid no heed to their shouts and aggressively took action. Anyone who dared to resist was killed without mercy, while those who did not fight back were quickly taken to the Alchemy Pavilion's prison and strictly guarded.

Watching as many of the Xue family’s shops in Dan City were shut down, a layer of gloom enveloped the entire Dan City.

Some people wished to leave Dan City, not wanting to get involved in such a dispute, but found that the grand formation of Dan City had already been activated. Without an order from the Alchemy Pavilion, no one could leave Dan City; it was only entry, not exit.

In an instant, countless citizens of Dan City were completely clueless about what was happening, each one filled with panic.

Fortunately, at the first moment of sealing Dan City, the Alchemy Pavilion had already issued an announcement to the entire city: The Grand Elder Sikong Hao, Deputy Pavilion Master Wen Chang, and the Medicine Emperor Tianfeng, along with other elders and strong figures of the Alchemy Pavilion, colluded with the Demon Tribe and the Piao Miao Palace to cause trouble for the Alchemy Pavilion, which was uncovered by Pavilion Master Mo Yuanbai on the spot. Anyone who harbored those from these forces would be opposing the Alchemy Pavilion.

Once this news spread, the entire Dan City was in an uproar.

Is there going to be a change in power?

The Xue family and other families, being the nobles of the Alchemy Pavilion and among the top families, had vast industries under their command, which was simply unimaginable. Furthermore, Pavilion Master Mo Yuanbai had not appeared for many years, and Grand Elder Sikong Hao held a significant portion of the Alchemy Pavilion’s power.

The fact that such a force colluded with the Demon Tribe was evidently huge news for Dan City.

Boom! A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

While many citizens were shocked, they were also horrified, and at the same time, news from the Bloodline Sacred Land echoed through, leaving them stunned.

Of course, some businessmen were quite shrewd. After all, the Xue family and other forces controlled a significant portion of the market in Dan City. Once the Xue family collapsed, the Alchemy Pavilion would also be severely weakened, requiring many alchemy agents. At that time, wouldn’t they have a glimmer of opportunity?

In an instant, everyone had different thoughts, and the entire Dan City was in extreme chaos.

Mo Yuanbai was also extremely angry. After severe torture and soul-searching, he finally understood just how rotten the Alchemy Pavilion had become. Nearly a quarter of the forces within the entire Alchemy Pavilion had already sided with Sikong Hao.

A full quarter!

It must be noted that the vast majority of alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion were uninvolved in management, with many elders dedicating themselves to researching elixirs, secluding themselves for alchemy, and never interfering with the management of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Yet even under such circumstances, a quarter of the forces had been corrupted by Sikong Hao. If it weren't for the enlightenment from his master, given time, the entire Alchemy Pavilion would likely have to change its name.

The only fortunate aspect was that although Grand Elder Sikong Hao was above all others, he controlled the Elder Council and the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall was responsible for punishment and had great power but was not responsible for the management of the Alchemy Pavilion.
