Martial Master

Silence!

As quiet as death!

At this moment.

The entire scene was eerily silent; everyone stared wide-eyed, nearly going mad.

The previously imposing Mu Xun was now lying on the ground like a dog, covering his face, utterly stunned.

Members of the Zhang family, Li family, Qin family, Lian Peng, Ge Zhou, and many other bystanders were all bewildered.

What on earth was going on?

Many present didn’t know Liu Guang, but could tell from his alchemist robe that he was a second-tier alchemist, clearly a high-ranking figure from the Alchemy Pavilion.

Just moments ago, Mu Xun had announced his intention to blacklist the Zhang family and deal with Qin Chen. Then Master Liu Guang stormed in, slapped Mu Xun away, and removed him from the Alchemy Pavilion. What did this mean?

It clearly indicated that Mu Xun's decision was not an internal decision of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, even if Mu Xun had made a mistake, there was no need to be so disrespectful as to directly expel him, right?

It was evident that this situation not only contradicted the Alchemy Pavilion's decisions but was entirely opposite to them.

What shocked people even more was Liu Guang’s reference to someone called Chen Shao.

Who exactly was this Chen Shao?

Everyone looked around; among all those present, the only one who could be called Chen Shao was Qin Chen.

Could it be that there was a relationship between Qin Chen and Master Liu Guang that everyone was unaware of?

This thought left many feeling puzzled.

While others were confused, the members of the Li family were in a state of panic.

Master Mu Xun had been invited from the Alchemy Pavilion’s market; he had always been their pillar and trading partner. Now that Master Mu Xun had been slapped to the ground, how could the Li family not be alarmed?

They all turned their gazes to Li Xun, as he was the only alchemist present who could speak with Liu Guang.

“Master Liu Guang…”

Unable to hold back, Li Xun stepped forward, anxious to understand the situation.

However, before he could finish speaking, Liu Guang coldly turned to him.

“Li Xun, as an alchemist of the Alchemy Pavilion, why aren’t you focused on refining pills and instead have come here?”

“I…”

Li Xun’s voice choked; seeing Liu Guang’s almost murderous gaze, he could barely utter the rest of his sentence.

“I remember you have a two-year agreement with the Alchemy Pavilion, right? Chen Mu,” Liu Guang turned and called out.

“Yes, Master Liu Guang,” Chen Mu stepped forward.

“Immediately terminate the agreement with alchemist Li Xun. From today on, he is no longer a dedicated alchemist of my Alchemy Pavilion. Besides that, review the footage and information from Li Xun’s assessment as a first-tier alchemist to see if there are any issues. My Alchemy Pavilion cannot allow false alchemists to deceive others and tarnish our reputation.”

“Yes,” Chen Mu nodded.

Across from them.

Li Xun’s body swayed, his face turning pale, nearly in tears.

Master Liu Guang was going to expel him from the Alchemy Pavilion. Not only that, but he would also do everything possible to strip him of his identity as an alchemist.

If other alchemists said this, he might not care too much, but who was Master Liu Guang? He was not only a second-tier alchemist but also a trusted confidant of the Pavilion Master Xiao Ya, the overall person in charge of Alchemy Pavilion’s internal affairs. If he spoke up, who would dare to oppose him?

“Master Liu Guang…”

Stammering, Li Xun took a few steps forward, still wanting to plead for mercy.

Before he could speak, Liu Guang frowned: “Where is the Law Enforcement Hall? Why isn’t anyone taking him away? Investigate him thoroughly and see if he has violated any rules during his time in my Alchemy Pavilion. If any offenses are found, punish him severely.”

“Yes!”

Members of the Alchemy Pavilion’s Law Enforcement Hall had already stepped forward to apprehend Li Xun.

Li Xun’s legs went soft, and he didn’t even dare to resist, being dragged away by two individuals.
