Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

But it was merely limited to those slaughter techniques; I never expected a city-built Array to have such terrifying power.

An Ming didn’t speak, but his peripheral vision subtly glanced at the Seven Rhinoceros Commander.

A deep sword mark was also conspicuously present on the horn above his head.

Nearly severed this horn!

The Seven Rhinoceros Commander actually withstood a full sword strike!

Seemingly aware of his subordinate’s gaze, the meditating Seven Rhinoceros Commander slowly opened his eyes.

His face was ashen, and his tone was grave.

”It’s not your fault; this battle was due to my recklessness.”

Wu Guang, who had just been saved by the Seven Rhinos, couldn’t help but say, ”Commander...”

The Seven Rhinoceros Commander interrupted him and looked at An Ming.

”Where is Shen Shamo?”

An Ming replied, ”He didn’t return with me, only saying that the price for helping you this time was too high, and the promise he owed you is now null and void.”

Upon hearing this, the Seven Rhinoceros Commander showed no reaction.

It’s normal for the other not to return, especially since he lost even his physical body, with only a Nascent Soul left. If he were to appear before them, it would be like being at mercy.

As for the other promise owed...

”Let it be null then!”

The Seven Rhinoceros Commander sighed softly.

After this battle, out of the ten Demon Emperors under his command, three were dead, and one was injured.

Although six remained, they hardly listened to his command, and just like that, he instantly fell to the bottom among the Nine Great Commanders.

”My eagerness to gain merit was my downfall.”

”That Array at Lingtian Pass requires at least four Commander Level Demon Emperors to withstand it, and to forcefully break it, at least five or more are needed.”

”If you wish to avoid paying a price, only slowly wearing down its power will work.”

”The honor of besieging the city will not fall to me, nor to any of them!”

After pondering, he instructed, ”An Ming, go to the front line and retrieve the Low Order Demon Clan assaulting Lingtian Pass... Given the means of the Lingtian City Lord, there probably aren’t many left. Bring back as many as you can!”

As he spoke towards the end, his mood became notably more downtrodden.

An Ming took the order and was about to leave.

”Take care of your safety!”

An Ming paused, ”Thank you for your concern, Commander!”

She set off once more.

After she left, lightning unexpectedly flashed in the cave.

”Seven Rhinos, why are you so bedraggled?”

Anger flashed across the face of the Seven Rhinoceros Commander. ”If you had faced that sword head-on, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have survived! Moreover, if it weren’t for insufficient pressure from you in West City, how could the Lingtian City Lord have leisurely initiated the Big Formation, slaughtering three of my Demon Emperors!”

At this point, the sharp sensation faintly emanating from the single horn on his forehead made him even more furious.

”I considered our relationship quite good. When you sought the Thunder Marsh Technique from my clan, I lent it to you. Why did you not put in more effort when I asked for help today?”

The massive body of the Thunder Prison hunched, disliking the cramped confines of the cave.

Facing the questioning from his friend, he furrowed his brow, knowing he indeed did not perform well before.

He could only offer a feeble defense, ”The guard at West City is peculiar.”

”Peculiar? How peculiar?”

”I don’t know.”

”You!” The Seven Rhinoceros Commander angrily pointed at Thunder Prison.

Thunder Prison replied in a deep voice, ”This time, I’ll owe you. I will repay it in the future! But for now, I must return to see Qing Shuang Palace Lord for an important matter, so I’ve come to say farewell.”

The Seven Rhinoceros Commander felt a sense of vexation arise.

”Go then!”

Thunder Prison said no more, hurriedly leaving the cave and soaring into the sky.

Reaching the sky, he looked down at the distance.

On the plains outside Lingtian Pass, a massacre ensued, one-sided and brutal.

East of Fire Ridge, a vast wave of Demon Qi rolled in, with a towering golden flag standing among it.

”Huang Man has arrived as well! This spells even more trouble for Seven Rhinos.”

Slightly burdened with guilt, a white-robed silhouette occasionally flickered in his mind.

Suddenly!

The swift flight of the Thunder Prison Divine Roc came to an abrupt halt.

That indifferent, composed face, unaffected by gain or loss, overlapped with another face from his memory, one that was timid, flattering, and humble.

”So it was him!”

In the clear skies, thunder suddenly roared.
