Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 278: Chapter 147: Funeral, No Descendants, Heart Torment, We’ll Have a Long Time Ahead! (An early congratulations to our Alliance Master Yinhua Xiaomin!)_4

”Grandpa!”

Standing behind Luo Chen, Mi Li cried out heartrendingly upon seeing this.

Luo Chen furrowed his brows slightly, quietly stepping back.

Listening to Miao Wen’s words, it sounded as though Mi Shuhua had not yet died?

Thud!

The coffin lid was directly lifted up.

It was empty except for a heap of splendid garments.

Miao Wen took a glance and then turned around.

”A tomb with only clothing?”

Sikong Yuanhong’s face was red with shame and anger, ”We don’t have the Clan Chief’s body, so we could only make a garment tomb.”

”Is that so...”

Miao Wen frowned slightly, smacking his lips.

Then he looked at these twenty-odd members of the Mi family.

He shook his head, ”In that case, there’s no need to keep you all alive.”

The next moment, a sword light spewed from his mouth.

In an instant, it crossed the emptiness.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

When the sword light returned as a golden pellet into his hand, all the Mi family members dressed in mourning fell thudding to the ground.

All of them were dead.

Including Sikong Yuanhong, who also died under the sword pellet.

The Sikong family was from henceforth wiped out.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator had risen in rebellion, and he was a sword cultivator at that!

Who could have reacted in time?

This sudden event left Luo Chen, Mi Li, and Qin Liangchen completely unprepared.

Why?!

”Are you curious?”

Having swallowed the sword pill, Miao Wen sauntered over.

”I’d known of the whereabouts of these survivors of the Mi family for a long time. Keeping them alive was just to lure out Mi Shuhua.”

Unable to stop himself, Luo Chen asked, ”But didn’t he already die?”

”Indeed, he is dead. But his body was never seen. Even his magic items disappeared.”

”Is it possible that those who surrounded him back then divided them among themselves?”

Miao Wen nodded, ”That’s possible, so there’s no need to keep these members of the Mi family alive.”

What kind of reasoning was this?!

Luo Chen was confused.

However, Miao Wen had already come in front of them, his gaze intensely fixated on Mi Li standing behind Luo Chen.

”She should also die.”

”No!”

A resounding outcry emanated from Qin Liangchen.

However, when Miao Wen looked over, Qin Liangchen realized what he had said.

Cold sweat soaked his back, and he subconsciously retreated a step.

However, Miao Wen did not show any anger.

Instead, he chuckled and turned his gaze onto Luo Chen.

”Luo Chen, what do you think?”

Luo Chen opened his mouth, his mind working furiously.

There was indeed nothing useful about continuing to shelter Mi Li. She was merely at the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement Stage and in all this time had only just mastered the refining method of the Fasting Pill.

As the only surviving bloodline of the Broken Mountain Gang, her value in summoning the old members had also decreased in effectiveness over the past half-month.

Those who had returned could not be said to be loyal, and most of them were rushing towards him.

It was fair to kill her to prevent future trouble!

But, Mi Li was a weak woman who had never done anything wrong.

She was harmless and blameless.

She had consistently been working in the Pill Hall, under his orders, both in the past and potentially in the future.

In principle, he should protect her.

Killing her would serve no purpose, nor would there be any harm in keeping her alive, particularly now that the last branch of the Mi family had been eradicated.

But if he forcefully tried to save her, would it infuriate Miao Wen, this Foundation Establishment True Cultivator?

One thought after another emerged in Luo Chen’s mind.

Qin Liangchen was anxiously looking at him, fearing he would say ”Kill her” and yet fearing he would say ”Do not kill her”.

If they killed her, then the Mi family would truly be extinct.

Luo Chen had mixed feelings about Mi Shuhua, and Qin Liangchen was no different.

After all, he had once received kindness from him!

And if they did not kill her, he feared Luo Chen would offend Miao Wen as a result.

Miao Wen’s laughter earlier, coupled with his sudden massacre of all the surviving members of the Mi family, was quite insane.

If Luo Chen went against him, he dared not imagine the consequences!

Just as Luo Chen was deep in thought, Qin Liangchen also struggling with his dilemma.

At that moment, Mi Li’s eyes were already devoid of life.

She came here and did not see her mother. Her grandfather’s body was not in the tomb, and all the surviving members of her clan died in front of her.

And now, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wanted to kill her.

What else could she do?

She could only await her death.

She felt sorry for the Hall Master, who was burdened with making the decision. A trace of desolation spread across her cold face.

After a long while, Luo Chen spoke in a husky voice.

”Uncle Wen, in my opinion...”

”Stop, you are an intelligent person, let’s put an end to this matter!”

Miao Wen clapped him on the shoulder, giving him a very satisfied look.

Luo Chen opened his mouth, completely not understanding his meaning.

...

In Crescent Valley.

To be precise, within the headquarters of Luo Tian Creed.

Stone houses and fortresses stood tall.

Luo Chen closed the door to his room and turned around to see Qin Liangchen with a complicated look.

”Did you take the Forgetful Pill given to you by Steward Miao?”

”She agreed to take it of her own will. After this, she will forget the memories of this time unless she breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage one day.”

”Sigh, Mi Li is really unfortunate!”

Qin Liangchen sighed.

He looked at Luo Chen’s calm face, unable to resist asking, ”What were you going to say back then...”

His words halted midway through, followed by a bitter smile.

”My bad. Your answer back then, in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, was actually meaningless. Why am I pressing you for an answer?”

Luo Chen did not reply, only staring blankly ahead at a distant flower getting buried under the gravel that a cultivator had carelessly knocked down.

Qin Liangchen spoke dejectedly, ”Steward Miao killed so many of the Mi family right in front of us. While it solved the problem of Luo Tian Creed’s future trouble, it was also to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. It was a warning to us not to harbor too many schemes.”
