Alchemy Master

Chapter 269, Forceful Seizure

Translator: Silavin

The Compound Pill was a Pill that revolutionized the World of Alchemy. Only those at the highest positions truly understood its benefits. This was why the Li Family rushed to Central Province City after learning about the Compound Pill.

As for the Alchemy Central that Zhao Bowen mentioned, though it gave the Li Family some concerns, after considering the benefits the Compound Pill would bring, the Li Family Elder still resolutely chose to risk offending the Alchemy Central to obtain the Pill Formulas.

Once they got the Compound Pill formula, the Li Family would quietly make Qin Yichen disappear without a trace. At that point, even if the Alchemy Central complained, they could not possibly make one of Twilight City’s top Forces, the Li Family, face extinction, could they?

Though the Alchemy Central had the power to rally such a force, they would not take such action over a boy who had already disappeared.

Thinking of this, a cold smile curled the Li Family Elder’s lips.

With his power, who in the Northern Region could stop him?

“Sir, Qin Yichen is also a Guest Officer of the Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak, and holds a significant position even within the Alchemy Central. Though the Li Family is powerful, dealing with a Guest Officer of Alchemy Peak should still require the Alchemy Central’s approval, right?”

“So, please reconsider!” The Zhao Family truly deserved their noble title as a Baron – as the Zhao Family Patriarch, Zhao Bowen, he clearly knew many of these rules and regulations, and immediately spoke up.

Hearing Zhao Bowen’s words, excitement flashed in the onlookers’ eyes. Worthy of being one of Central Province City’s protectors. He was not only knowledgeable, but admirable. In the face of an expert that was beyond the Spirit Realm, he still dared to speak up for Qin Yichen at this moment. After all, the opponent was not someone the Zhao Family could afford to offend – this was the Li Family of Twilight City!

Just seeing this one Elder beyond the Spirit Realm gave a glimpse of the Li Family’s power.

However, his actions made the Patriarchs of the Millennial Lu Family and Bian Family secretly worried – would this anger the Li Family?

“Zhao Bowen, your Zhao Family is getting quite bold, even trying to meddle in my Li Family’s affairs?”

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Bowen’s words, the Li Family Elder’s face darkened. With his cold snort, a mighty aura spread out, eventually becoming almost tangible as it pressed down directly on Zhao Bowen.

Under this aura, the watching crowd felt as if the air had stopped flowing. Everyone seemed unable even to breathe.

“Ugh…” Zhao Bowen, the target of this pressure, stumbled and fell, his face instantly turning pale, his clothes soaked with sweat.

Even if he was in the Peak Spirit Realm, he could not withstand the pressure of the Li Family Elder’s aura! This showed the enormous gap between experts beyond the Spirit Realm and those at Spirit Realm.

In front of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, Qin Yichen and others were also enveloped in this aura. Even though Qin Yichen’s physical strength was no weaker than a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert, he still found breathing difficult.

Glancing aside, he was surprised to find Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen completely unaffected, only because they stood on either side of Little Ling’er, separated from her by the two Ferocious Beasts, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

Though neither Demonic Beast revealed their aura, they seemed completely unaffected by this pressure, even protecting a one-meter area around them.

“Damn…” Qin Yichen cursed inwardly and quickly looked away. If the Li Family Elder discovered their unusual nature, things could get serious.

“Relying on your low-ranking noble title to repeatedly offend my Li Family. Zhao Bowen, today I’ll teach you about hierarchy and status!”

The Li Family Elder snorted coldly, glancing at Zhao Bowen on the ground, but did not continue. After all, the latter had a noble title. A small lesson was enough. Taking action against him would bring unnecessary trouble, and his main purpose here was the Compound Pill Formula…

“Little thief, obediently hand over the Pill Formulas, and perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I might spare your life.” The Li Family Elder’s gaze returned to Qin Yichen, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

At this point, under the pressure of the powerful aura, Qin Yichen could barely breathe, but he still gritted his teeth, keeping his chest straight under this pressure. His trembling voice emerged with great difficulty. “Never!”

Though this one short word was shaky, the unyielding spirit in his voice moved people.

After all, he was facing an expert beyond the Spirit Realm, who could crush him with one hand.

“Never?” Hearing Qin Yichen’s answer, the Li Family Elder paused briefly, then sneered, “Steal my Li Family’s Pill Formulas and stubbornly refuse to return it? Then I’ll just kill you and find it myself!”

He now showed killing intent!

As his words fell, the Li Family Elder raised his arm toward Qin Yichen. To him, someone who had not even reached Spirit Realm was lower than an ant.

“Damn it!” When the former slightly raised his arm, every hair on Qin Yichen’s body stood on end. A sense of mortal danger emanated from that seemingly thin arm.

At this moment, Zhao Bowen and others closed their eyes, unable to watch. For the Patriarchs of the Three Millennial Families who had rushed here, they had truly tried their best this time. Helplessly, an expert beyond Spirit Realm was completely beyond their influence, and they had nothing to make him wary.

“Li Gu, stop!” Just as killing intent flashed in the Li Family Elder’s eyes and he was about to strike, a long shout roared across the sky from the distance.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Bowen and others opened their eyes joyfully, looking toward the distant horizon. There, a crane silhouette flashed, like a rainbow piercing the Sun, rapidly crossing the sky.

Another expert beyond Spirit Realm had arrived!

“Such speed. Who? How could such an expert exist in this region!?” The Li Family Elder, looking toward the voice, showed surprise in his eyes at the figure’s speed.

In just a few breaths’ time, that figure wrapped in a White Crane Martial Soul appeared above Central Province City. As the crane image slowly dissipated, it revealed Yang Quan!

[Yang Quan? How did he become so fast? Has he fully comprehended the White Crane Martial Soul?] Seeing it was Yang Quan, confusion flashed in the Li Family Elder’s eyes.

“Li Gu, do you intend to kill my Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak’s Guest Officer!”

Yang Quan landed directly in front of Qin Yichen. With his arrival, the air pressure from the Li Family Elder’s aura invisibly dispersed.

At this moment, the watching crowd finally managed to take desperate breaths.
