Chapter 1438: Chapter 1439: The Terrifying Master
The young alchemy boy threw down these words and fled as if running away.
He didn’t know what had happened to Brother Cai Kun, but clearly, the person was no longer the sa brother who wouldn’t fight back despite harsh words.
“Sir, what do you actually want to do? I’m just passing by, definitely not a disciple of the Heavenly God Academy!”
The woman beside him was about to cry, what kind of misfortune did she do in her past life to be targeted by such a monstrous cultivator and forcibly sent to the Heavenly God Academy?
And she must et soone who seed to be a big shot, his master’s master. Wasn’t she seeking her own death?
“Just follow in and you’ll find out.”
Li Xiaobai’s expression was indifferent, and he opened the door, pushing the woman in.
The air was filled with a scorched aroma, and the temperature was very high, making it feel like being inside a large furnace. This was the alchemy room, where soone was refining the elixirs.
In the grand hall, a huge alchemy furnace suspended in mid-air, with intense flas burning underneath, continually casting golden runes shooting out, falling into the furnace.
No one was guarding it; everything ran independently with the alchemy furnace. Li Xiaobai didn’t understand its mysteries, so he scanned around the hall but did not find any shadows of people.
“Master, your disciple has returned.”
Li Xiaobai spoke loudly with hands behind his back.
“Swish!”
As soon as the words fell, the furnace being roasted by flas suddenly began to sway, heat and terrifying aura rampaged. The next second, the entire furnace exploded, and an elderly man with a charred body walked out, his eyes blood-red.
“Who allowed you to speak?”
“Pull out your tongue yourself, and I might spare your life!”
The elder’s figure was slender and his facial expression fierce; he was actually hiding within the alchemy furnace. Doesn’t this imply he was brewing himself as a piece of elixir?
Is this what he wanted to do? Alchemy like this?
Li Xiaobai’s pupils contracted, his heart raced, the person in front was ruthless, refining himself like a piece of elixir, definitely not ordinary.
“Master, please calm down, your disciple has urgent news to report!”
Li Xiaobai said steadily with clasped fists.
“Oh?”
“So it was Cai Kun, I didn’t recognize you for a mont. You replace to recruit disciples in Cangtian City, which is a rit, canceling out your faults; your tongue is saved!”
The elder seed to realize who stood before him and gave a little hum.
“Why co back so early? Wasn’t there still a few days’ duration left?”
“Reporting to Master, there was trouble in Cangtian City, with thieves impersonating your elderly self entering the city raking in money and casually recruiting disciples under your na, causing discontent among the city’s cultivators. This villain’s malicious deeds even directly nad the disciple’s identity, leading to chaos throughout the city, making it difficult to recruit disciples.”
“Your disciple thought it better to report to Master first!”
Li Xiaobai colored his description of the city’s events, amplifying it.
“Nonsense!”
“Regardless of the reason, disciples must be brought back; otherwise, what’s the use of you!”
“You bet with that you can complete the task, otherwise, that young girl’s head is forfeit!”
The slender elder showed no emotion despite Li Xiaobai’s account; rather his face beca fierce because the Academy sent him to recruit disciples, and he casually sent Cai Kun to handle it, who could’ve thought such a small matter couldn’t be accomplished; he was very angry and the consequences severe.
Young girl?
Who might this be now?
Li Xiaobai was puzzled, according to his estimation Cai Kun shouldn’t have much interaction with many cultivators; how did another young girl pop up?
Who is the young girl, what relationship does she have with Cai Kun, and what does this have to do with recruiting disciples?
“Master, failing to recruit is a minor matter, but the trouble in Cangtian City is major. If we can capture the thief, the credit is far greater than recruiting disciples!”
Li Xiaobai felt his scalp was tingling, montarily unable to sort through the chaos, and continued speaking firmly.
“Then tell , who is this thief?”
“Who dares to impersonate , and yet no cultivator in the city notices?”
The elder gazed at Li Xiaobai, sniffing as if sensing so scent; he felt that the aura on his disciple seed subtly different, but upon careful whiff found nothing peculiar, leaving him perplexed for a mont.
“His na is Li Xiaobai; he killed the cultivators of the extre evil Pure Land outside Cangtian City and abducted over 150 disciples and cultivators within while framing the Baihe Clan in the city to plunder wealth…”
“His deeds have angered both man and nature and he brazenly laid traps for the Nangong Family disciples from our Heavenly God Academy during the Heavenly Tribulation, utterly evil, deserving death. If he can be captured, it certainly is a great achievent!”
Li Xiaobai ticulously described his cris and actions, exaggerating them as extrely wicked.
First ti scolding himself like this, he found it sowhat novel.
“You’re saying, this Li Xiaobai killed the extre evil Pure Land’s cultivators?”
The elder’s irritable emotions suddenly cald down, his murderous gaze faded, eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Among Li Xiaobai’s lengthy words, he caught only one key point: the impersonator killed the extre evil Pure Land’s cultivators, aning this charge would fall upon his head?
Everyone knew the Academy sent him over, not any disciple. With such matters arising, an elder impersonating him slaughtering extre evil Pure Land’s cultivators couldn’t escape involvent. Going to Cangtian City ant taking the bla, yet denial amounted to dereliction, with Academy directives also facing severe penalties, troubled either way.
Where did this Li Xiaobai erge from, such audacity?
If he could be captured, indeed it would be a great rit.
“Indeed, all his doing, this person is quite sinister, not a common cultivator, and seemingly ignores the extre evil Pure Land.”
Li Xiaobai continued to fan the flas.
“Could it be from outside the territory?”
The elder murmured to himself, “Where is he now!”
“He has already left Cangtian City.”
Li Xiaobai said.
“Very well, this matter arose because of you, hence you shall find this fellow. Fail and that young girl must die!”
The elder pondered a mont, speaking fiercely.
Li Xiaobai was dumbfounded at once, how did this situation co to rest on his shoulders?
Expected to catch himself?
Failing that ant the young girl must die?
Must quickly ascertain what happened to Cai Kun, why feel unclear?
“What’s the purpose of this ingredient behind you?”
The elder focused on the woman, licking his lips while asking.
“Given the failure to recruit disciples, I casually grabbed one by the roadside, might be useful in critical monts.”
