“Is the verification at the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion?”

“If you answer randomly, will there be severe punishment from the local Alchemy Pavilion?”

Xu Zheng was instantly stunned.

In this case, unless one had absolute confidence, recklessly challenging the difficult stone wall would easily lead to severe punishment from the headquarters.

No wonder everyone was so surprised; he had heard that the current president of the Alchemy Pavilion, Zhuo Qingfeng, came from a higher power and was eager to return to the Northern Heaven Domain Alchemy Pavilion branch.

If something like this happened again, under severe punishment, it would be even harder for Zhuo Qingfeng to be reassigned back.

Just thinking about how the enraged President Zhuo Qingfeng would treat his brother was terrifying.

“Chen Shao, do you really have to challenge the difficult stone wall?”

Xiao Ya couldn't help but ask.

Qin Chen nodded, “This is part of my plan; only in this way can I establish myself in the Great Wei Dynasty.”

“Let’s set aside whether you can answer correctly. Even if you answer the questions correctly, or even more than two, and truly become the new head of the Alchemy Pavilion, when the headquarters verifies the Alchemy Pavilion and sends someone to execute the orders, at least two to three months will have passed.”

Xiao Ya knew that Qin Chen's purpose in coming to the Alchemy Pavilion was to counter the Leng family and protect You Qianxue and the others.

If he truly became the head of the Alchemy Pavilion, he would indeed have the status to protect them. However, calculating the fastest possible time, it would still take two to three months. If the Leng family really wanted to retaliate, would they wait that long? Such a long time, they would not even wait for the appointment to be finalized, and probably would have already targeted them.

“I naturally have my plans; I just need to be able to challenge the difficult stone wall.” Qin Chen said solemnly.

He certainly understood these issues, but he was not challenging the difficult stone wall to become the next head of the Alchemy Pavilion; he had other purposes.

“Xiao Ya, what’s going on?”

Hearing the conversation between Xiao Ya and Qin Chen, Elder Xu Bo looked suspicious.

“Master, it’s like this…” Xiao Ya glanced at Qin Chen, and seeing that he did not object, she immediately explained the whole situation.

When Elder Xu Bo and the others heard that Qin Chen had annihilated the Feng family of the royal city aristocracy, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

“This…”

Xu Zheng looked at Qin Chen in shock, not expecting him to be such a terrifying person. Wang Zhong was so scared that his legs went weak; thinking of how he had repeatedly clashed with Qin Chen earlier, he was filled with dread.

Had he offended such a murderous man? Would he end up getting killed too?

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen while I was seriously ill. As for you five nations, Xiao Ya once told me that those who obtained the inheritance from Ancient Nandu have become the targets of the major powers in the royal city. The Feng family is under the Leng family, and their actions certainly do not represent the will of the Feng family alone; there must be orders from the Leng family behind it. And it's clear that the other powers in the royal city allow the Feng family, under the Leng family, to act against your five nations' disciples. This obviously shows that the Leng family has secretly reached an agreement with some powers. And by exterminating the Feng family, you have likely offended not just the Leng family, but also other forces in the royal city.”

Elder Xu Bo's expression grew serious.

With his keen insight, even though he had been bedridden for several days, he quickly analyzed the true shadow behind these events.

“If it were just the Leng family, I might still be able to protect you. But now, after my illness, the Alchemy Pavilion's power has been significantly seized by Elder Jin Yuan, and there are very few elders supporting me. Plus, Elder Jin Yuan has a very close relationship with the Leng family and has received the consent of other forces in the royal city. I may be able to protect one of you, but to protect all of you from the five nations, that is difficult!”
