The opponent's aura was extremely strong, and Duan Yue couldn't be sure that he would be able to match them.
Now seeing the Alchemy Pavilion's guard team arrive, he immediately became very excited, pointing at Xiao Ya and Liu Guang with a furious shout.
With the Alchemy Pavilion's guards intervening, it couldn't be better; the few of them had been beaten at the Alchemy Pavilion, and all were important figures in the royal capital, the guard team would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
"Hurry, hurry up and arrest these people! I am the Qi King of the Great Qi Kingdom. This person has assaulted royal relatives and is preparing to rebel. Why aren't you quickly taking them down?!"
"Right, detain them all and interrogate them strictly!"
Zhao Qirui and Lü Yang covered their faces, spitting blood as they cursed in resentment.
"Someone is making trouble?!"
Pushing through the crowd, the leading guard's eyes were filled with anger as he led a large group of Alchemy Pavilion guards and looked in the direction Duan Yue was pointing.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically.
"Lord Pavilion Master, Master Liu Guang, how could it be you?!"
Hastily taking two steps forward, the leading guard bowed respectfully, and the guards behind him all knelt down on one knee, their expressions solemn.
This scene left Duan Yue and the others momentarily stunned, their eyes bulging and mouths agape in disbelief.
"Pavilion... Pavilion Master?!"
"Master Liu Guang?!"
What was going on?
Staggering, Duan Yue and the others nearly spat out blood, their faces oddly colored, fear showing in their eyes, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Could it be so coincidental?
Could that woman, with a beauty like a celestial being, actually be the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion? And the old man beside her, is he truly Master Liu Guang of the Alchemy Pavilion?
Thinking of this, Duan Yue and the others were on the verge of tears.
What in the world was happening here?!
Not only them, but the other spectators present were also dumbfounded.
"This is the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion?!"
"I’ve never seen such an astonishing beauty before!"
"I know that the one beside her is Master Liu Guang; I've seen him once before, but this Pavilion Master is just too incredible!"
The crowd erupted in a stir, unable to contain their astonishment.
The Alchemy Pavilion was one of the top forces in the Great Qi Kingdom, and its Pavilion Master rarely appeared in public.
In everyone's minds, the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion must have been an old man with white hair and beard, possessing a demeanor of an immortal.
Now, seeing the guards refer to such a stunning beauty as Pavilion Master, the psychological gap left everyone both amazed and envious.
"What is going on?!"
"What happened?!"
At that moment, from outside the crowd, more confusion arose.
The crowd parted, and several deputy directors of the Office of Inspection pushed in, escorting Luo Ling and a few others.
Upon seeing the scene before them, the deputy directors stumbled, almost falling, their expressions blank, their minds completely blank.
"What is going on?"
"Director Lü Yang, Director Wu Xu, and the Qi King, why are you all on the ground as if beaten by someone?"
"Director Lü Yang, are you alright? And you too, Director Wu Xu, what happened to you?!"
Throwing the escorted Luo Ling and others to the ground, several deputy directors hurried forward, asking nervously.
They were full of questions; weren't Lü Yang and the others here at the Alchemy Pavilion to handle the issue of the Office of Inspection being suppressed? How did they get into a conflict?
However, at this moment, Lü Yang had no mood to answer them, feeling extremely anxious and on the verge of tears.
They had come to the Alchemy Pavilion intending to negotiate and lift the suppression on the Office of Inspection.
Unexpectedly, just as their business was about to start, they offended the Alchemy Pavilion again, and it was the Pavilion Master! What the hell was going on?
