At this moment, the alchemists gathered in the hall were increasing in number, almost all the alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion today were drawn to the hall by the commotion.
Seeing the scene before them, each of them was trembling with anger, their rage soaring to the sky.
Especially Gu Jin's indifferent attitude towards the Alchemy Pavilion deeply hurt the hearts of every alchemist present.
Alchemists!
They are one of the noblest professions in the world.
Alchemy Pavilion!
It is also one of the most terrifying forces in the world.
These alchemists, wherever they went, were not praised respectfully; when had they ever been humiliated like this?
Especially the people from the city guard, daring to directly come to the Alchemy Pavilion to arrest people, this was simply unimaginable.
It was tantamount to smashing the dignity of the Alchemy Pavilion and then trampling it underfoot and rubbing it hard.
“Gu Jin, this is my Alchemy Pavilion. Have you gone mad? You are just a small commander of the city guard, who gave you the courage to run wild in my Alchemy Pavilion? Get the hell out of here immediately!”
A manager from the Alchemy Pavilion trembled with anger, pointing at Gu Jin and shouting furiously.
“Get out?” Gu Jin's eyes instantly turned cold, sneering: “Are alchemists that impressive?”
He let out a cold laugh: “The so-called prince breaking the law is guilty like a commoner. Even if you alchemists have a noble status, as long as you violate the laws of the kingdom, this commander has the right to arrest you.”
“You ask me who gave me the courage? I'll tell you honestly, it’s the law! The law of the dynasty is greater than heaven. My city guard acts according to the law and fears no force.”
“Now, hand over those few disciples from the Five Nations quickly. I can let the past be the past; otherwise, I will charge your Alchemy Pavilion with harboring criminals, and take everyone from your Alchemy Pavilion away.”
Gu Jin was extremely arrogant, looking down at the group of people before him.
In order to climb up to the Third Prince and perfectly complete his task, Gu Jin was determined this time.
He knew very well that since he had come to the Alchemy Pavilion to take people, it meant that he had completely torn his face with the Alchemy Pavilion. At this moment, he had to occupy the moral high ground without any retreat.
As long as he completed the Third Prince’s task, his future would undoubtedly be limitless.
As for offending the Alchemy Pavilion, he didn’t have much worry in his heart.
After all, everyone knew.
The Alchemy Pavilion is strong in the Tianwu Continent, but in the imperial city of the Da Wei Dynasty, the Alchemy Pavilion hardly has any presence. At least sixty to seventy percent of the elixir business in the imperial city is monopolized by the Leng family, with the Alchemy Pavilion only occupying a small share.
Even if the Alchemy Pavilion held a grudge against him in the future, he could still buy elixirs from the Leng family’s stores.
Gu Jin was already somewhat connected to the Leng family, so why would he care about the Alchemy Pavilion's thoughts?
“Gu Jin… you… you…”
The manager of the Alchemy Pavilion trembled in anger, pointing at Gu Jin but unable to utter a word.
Other alchemists also had ugly expressions, their hearts burning with rage as if they were about to explode.
“It seems you don’t want to hand over the criminals. If so, I’ll search myself.”
Gu Jin immediately snorted coldly: “Everyone, listen up.”
“Yes!”
Hundreds of city guards surrounding the Alchemy Pavilion roared in unison, their voices booming like thunder, shaking the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Immediately go in and arrest people. If there is any resistance, treat them as accomplices. Be sure to find those few people from the Five Nations.”
With a wave of Gu Jin’s hand, his eyes cold, a group of armored city guards marched arrogantly into the depths of the Alchemy Pavilion.
These people each had their right hands resting on their blades, exuding a fierce killing intent.
