“Zhuo Pavilion Master, although you are the master of the Alchemy Pavilion, since you are within my Great Wei Dynasty, you are naturally a citizen of the Great Wei Dynasty and must abide by the laws of the dynasty. How can you disregard the orders of the dynasty just because you are an alchemist?”
Gu Jin coldly snorted.
“Disregard the orders of the dynasty? What can you do if I disregard them today? I have said, everyone get out immediately, otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Zhuo Qingfeng said in a chilling voice, a killing intent enveloping him, the pressure of a half-step Martial King instantly suppressing every city guard.
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Almost all the city guards turned pale and took a step back.
A half-step Martial King, how terrifying! In their eyes, that was like the heavens!
Only Geng Deyuan and the other deputy commanders, experts of the sixth rank Martial Venerable, could barely withstand it.
Gu Jin angrily said, “Zhuo Pavilion Master, are you really going to go against my Great Wei Dynasty for the sake of a few Commoners from the Four-Domains, breaking the laws of the dynasty? Do you know that what you’re doing now is contempt for our dynasty’s laws? Do you believe that I will report the matter of the Alchemy Pavilion to your superior? Your Alchemy Pavilion, as a neutral force, shielding local serious offenders, I’m afraid you have already violated the rules?”
“Are you threatening me?” Zhuo Qingfeng squinted his eyes.
“I am not threatening you, Zhuo Pavilion Master, I am simply stating a fact. I hope Zhuo Pavilion Master understands that those who know the times are wise and do not remain oblivious,” Gu Jin said coldly. “Today, I must take those few serious offenders from the Four-Domains away. If you forcibly obstruct me, I will report to His Majesty, and let His Majesty order the removal of your Alchemy Pavilion from my Great Wei Dynasty!”
“Hahaha, what a wise man who knows the times! What a removal of my Alchemy Pavilion! Fei Master, did you see that? This is your Great Wei Dynasty’s city guard, very strong indeed!”
Zhuo Qingfeng said coldly, then turned to look at the stairs behind him.
From the top of the stairs, Fei Leng hurriedly descended. Hearing the previous conversation, he was so furious that his entire body trembled, nearly exploding with anger.
“Gu Commander? Who told you to bring the city guard to the Alchemy Pavilion? Hurry up and take your people back! Are you trying to die by causing a ruckus in the Alchemy Pavilion?”
With a furious shout, Fei Leng approached Gu Jin and said angrily.
Earlier, when Zhuo Qingfeng's people said that the city guard dared to throw his Alchemy Pavilion Master's token, Fei Leng was somewhat skeptical, but at this moment, he completely believed it. These people even had the courage to surround the Alchemy Pavilion with troops; throwing a token was nothing they wouldn’t do!
No wonder Zhuo Qingfeng was so enraged; if it were him, he would probably be driven mad.
In his fury, Fei Leng directly yelled at Gu Jin.
“Who are you to meddle in the affairs of my city guard!”
Seeing Fei Leng wearing an alchemist's robe, Gu Jin immediately assumed he was also an alchemist from the Alchemy Pavilion and couldn't help but sneer.
Fei Leng was so enraged he was about to spit blood, shouting, “Open your damn eyes and see clearly! I am Fei Leng, the head alchemist of the palace. Get your people out of here immediately, or don’t blame me for ruining you!”
Head alchemist of the palace?
Gu Jin and the others were taken aback.
Although they were all alchemists, the identity of the head alchemist of the palace still shocked them.
After all, the master of the Alchemy Pavilion was just the leader of an external force. Although the current emperor respected him, it was only because the Alchemy Pavilion was powerful. Usually, the emperor rarely summoned the master of the Alchemy Pavilion, and the two sides could be said to interfere with each other little.
