Martial Master

This Golden Source is truly damned, daring to collude with the Leng family, intending to swallow my Alchemy Pavilion. Xu Bo, you did very well. If it weren't for you and Master Qin Chen uncovering their conspiracy, I would have become the sinner of the Alchemy Pavilion.

At the same time, Zhuo Qingfeng felt a sense of lingering fear.

Originally, he treated Qin Chen with respect simply because he wanted to gain Qin Chen's help, thus compromising and lowering his status.

But now, he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

If Qin Chen hadn't uncovered Jin Yuan's plot, and if Jin Yuan had successfully colluded with the Leng family to control the Alchemy Pavilion, then he, Zhuo Qingfeng, would have certainly become the sinner of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Once the news returned to the northern domain's Alchemy Pavilion branch, even if he managed to break through in cultivation, he would probably be unable to return, and would instead face punishment from the upper Alchemy Pavilion.

After all, as the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion, allowing the Pavilion to be controlled by local forces during his tenure would be a huge disgrace if it got out, and it would become a blemish on Zhuo Qingfeng's reputation.

That was close.

At this moment, Zhuo Qingfeng felt genuine gratitude towards Qin Chen, he was truly convinced.

Elder Xu Bo, the matter of rectifying the Alchemy Pavilion is now entrusted to you. How bold the Leng family is to covet my Alchemy Pavilion's alchemists. Do they really think that I have been idle all these years? Make sure to keep an eye on Master Qin Chen's actions; if the Leng family dares to act against Master Qin Chen, I will spare no effort in making the Great Wei Dynasty understand that my Alchemy Pavilion is not a place to be bullied.

Zhuo Qingfeng's gaze was cold, his expression furious.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of relief.

With Elder Xu Bo's influence, establishing a good relationship with Qin Chen is no longer a difficult task. If the Leng family dares to act against Qin Chen, it will provide him with a huge opportunity to befriend Qin Chen.

At that time, it is not impossible for Qin Chen to change his impression of him and help him heal his chronic ailment.

While Zhuo Qingfeng was thinking of ways to build a good relationship with Qin Chen, Qin Chen, who had just left the Alchemy Pavilion, felt little joy in his heart.

Although he knew that he had completed his mission at the Alchemy Pavilion, and that the Pavilion Master would definitely stand on his side.

However, this time he was facing not just the minor Feng family, but top forces in the imperial city like the Leng family, Wu family, and Wujizong.

These forces all had Martial Kings, powerful enough to influence the royal family's decisions.

Moreover, the Alchemy Pavilion is a relatively transcendental force and cannot interfere too directly in local power struggles. Relying solely on the Alchemy Pavilion may not be enough to shake the Leng family's vast alliance.

What Qin Chen needed most now was time. As long as he had enough time, he was fully capable of rallying more forces to oppose the Leng family.

Xiao Ya, take me to the Bloodline Sacred Land immediately.

Adjusting his mood, Qin Chen said to Xiao Ya.

It took so long just to gain the support of the Alchemy Pavilion. Can the black slaves still hold out in the slums?

He had to seize the time.

Alright.

After the events at the Alchemy Pavilion, Xiao Ya fully obeyed Qin Chen and immediately led him to the location of the Bloodline Sacred Land.

However, before Qin Chen and Xiao Ya could arrive at the Bloodline Sacred Land, a figure was quickly approaching from a distance.

It was Zhao Ling Shan.

Young Master Chen, this is bad!

Seeing Xiao Ya and Qin Chen, Zhao Ling Shan panted, her face showing a hint of urgency as she called out from afar.

Seeing Zhao Ling Shan's appearance, Qin Chen's heart instantly sank.

Have the Leng family’s people already arrived at the slums?

Before Zhao Ling Shan could speak, Qin Chen coldly asked.

Young Master Chen, it’s not the Leng family, it’s the Imperial City Guard, saying you openly violated the rules of the Imperial City and slaughtered the Feng family. Now they are here to arrest you and the black slaves.
