Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Nangong Family’s Fury (16th Update) Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Nangong Family’s Fury (16th Update) The auction hall was filled with shock from the group of Shen Dan Masters.

Seeing their utmost shocked expressions, both Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian understood.

Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian had also suffered from the torture of poison flames, that agony worse than thousands of arrows piercing the heart, they knew all too well.

Such pain was unbearable for ordinary people.

Moreover, many Alchemists and Artifact Refiners had died from the outbreaks of poison flames.

On reflection, both elders felt lingering fear.

“State Preceptor, Prince, we implore you to help, please plead with the Elixir Emperor to assist us in curing the poison flames!” Chu Changkong hurriedly knelt down to beg.

“The torture of the poison flames has tormented me for decades, it’s incredibly agonizing when it flares up, it’s worse than death itself.”

“State Preceptor, Prince, you must help us, we can barely endure the torment of the poison flames any longer!”

“We earnestly plead for the State Preceptor and Prince to save us!”

The Alchemists and Artifact Refiners all knelt down one after another, their suffering from the poison flames was indescribable, that agony worse than death could only be understood by Alchemists and Artifact Refiners themselves.

“This…” Watching the Shen Dan Masters and Chu Changkong all kneeling, Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian were taken aback.

“Shen Dan Masters, Chairman Chu, please stand up! We cannot bear such a gesture,” Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian hastily intervened, unable to accept such a form of address.

“We beg the State Preceptor and Prince to save us from this dire plight!” The Shen Dan Masters continued to kneel, treating the two elders as if they were deities.

Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian had helpless and wry smiles on their faces; such a matter was not something they could simply assist with, it all depended on whether Feng Wuchen was willing.

Whether Feng Wuchen was willing or not was not for them to decide; moreover, the two elders dared not make such a request to Feng Wuchen.

To be accepted as students by Feng Wuchen was an immense honor for them–how could they dare to make a request for him to help cure the Shen Dan Masters’ poison flames?

“Shen Dan Masters, to be frank with you, Master didn’t choose us for our talent or realm, but because we were indebted to him. Master’s status is extraordinary, beyond your and my imagination, how could we dare to make demands of him?” Yang Tianxian said with a helpless wry smile.

The torture of the poison flames was all too clear to the two elders, and they truly sympathized with the Shen Dan Masters, wanting to help, but it wasn’t a decision they could make.

“What… what should we do? I’ve offended the Elixir Emperor before,” panicked the Shen Dan Master, at a loss.

The Alchemists and Artifact Refiners were all in panic; they had doubted Feng Wuchen during the auction and thereby offended him.

To offend Feng Wuchen and then expect him to help cure their poison flames?

Are they out of their minds? Where in the world does one find such good fortune?

“State Preceptor, what should we do?” Chu Changkong asked in alarm, filled with regret.

If they had known earlier about Feng Wuchen’s terrifying status as an Elixir Emperor, they wouldn’t have dared to question him even if they had ten thousand times the courage.

“You dared to offend Master?” Yang Tianxian became enraged upon hearing this!

These people had offended Feng Wuchen, and still expected them to help?

If Feng Wuchen found out, Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian wouldn’t even know how to explain themselves!

“State Preceptor, we truly didn’t know about the Elixir Emperor’s identity at the time, it wasn’t an intentional offense, if we had known, how could we dare to offend?” Upon seeing Yang Tianxian’s fury, the Shen Dan Masters became even more panicked.

“There is nothing I can do about this situation,” Yang Tianxian said angrily, turning his back on everyone, already deciding to stay out of it.

How could Yang Tianxian dare to interfere? Unless he wanted to be expelled from his apprenticeship by Feng Wuchen!

“Prince, Prince, considering we are all Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, and considering we truly had no intention to offend the Elixir Emperor, we earnestly request the Prince’s assistance,” the Shen Dan Masters and others then turned to Situ Zhentian.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Situ Zhentian said sternly, “You’ve offended Master, and I can’t help you.”

“This…” The Shen Dan Masters and Chu Changkong were immediately plunged into despair.

They had actually invited Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian here to ingratiate themselves and to try to mend their relationship with Feng Wuchen. Now that the two elders were completely unhelpful, the Shen Dan Masters despaired.

What about the poison flames in their bodies?

Without driving out the poison flames, they would eventually die from an outbreak.

“Shen Dan Masters, Chairman Chu, there is still a way to drive out the poison flames, but it depends on your sincerity. You have to personally beg Master, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope. This is all I can do to help you,” Situ Zhentian said slowly, unable to bear it anymore.

“If Master refuses, there’s nothing more I can do,” Situ Zhentian shook his head.

“Yes! That’s right! We must personally beg the Elixir Emperor to show our sincerity; perhaps the Elixir Emperor might truly forgive us!” The Shen Dan Master nodded frantically, a spark of hope igniting within.

This was their only recourse.

Whether Feng Wuchen would help them drive out the poison flames all depended on their sincerity.

“Do not take Master lightly; should you anger him, you should be aware of the consequences,” Yang Tianxian warned gravely.

“Yes, yes! We absolutely will not provoke the Elixir Emperor! Thank you, State Preceptor and Prince, for the guidance!” The Shen Dan Masters all nodded repeatedly, feeling somewhat reassured.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Tianxian suppressed his inner anger and said slowly, “Master favors precious medicinal ingredients and artifact refining materials, treasures from heaven and earth. If Master takes an interest, perhaps he will help you. That is your only option.”

“Thank you for the reminder, State Preceptor!” the Shen Dan Masters and the others thanked again.

The method proposed by Yang Tianxian made things much simpler for the auction.

The Shen Dan Masters and their group let out sighs of relief as if they had borne great humiliation, only then realizing that their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

One could imagine how terrified and anxious they had been just moments ago.

“Get up, we elders cannot bear your kneeling,” Yang Tianxian said, waving his hand, the anger on his face dissipating.

The Shen Dan Masters and others stood up while wiping away their sweat, feeling utterly embarrassed.

But for them, if they could receive Feng Wuchen’s forgiveness, any embarrassment was worth it.

“The master didn’t incapacitate them on the spot, perhaps he still has use for them,” Yang Tianxian speculated in his heart.

Situ Zhentian added, “Shen Dan Masters, Guild President Chu, you must go personally to the Yanhuo Empire. The father of our master, Feng Zhengxiong, is an upright and open-minded man. If he intervenes, the master will surely lend a hand.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. We will definitely go to the Feng family ourselves!” the Shen Dan Masters and others nodded repeatedly, filled with immense gratitude.

The words of Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian were deeply etched in the minds of the Shen Dan Masters and their group, not daring to forget a single word.

…

Nangong Household.

Murong Tian returned to the Nangong Household alone, with serious injuries.

“Young Master!” Seeing the severely injured Murong Tian return, the guards of the Nangong Household were shocked and hurried over to help him.

“Family Head! Something terrible has happened! Young Master Murong is gravely injured!” another guard rushed in, shouting in panic.

In the main hall, hearing the alarmed shouts of the guards, Nangong Lie and the other high-ranking members had their expressions drastically change and instantly flashed out.

“Beiming Kong, that bastard, I always said to go easy, yet he had to strike so harshly!” Murong Tian cursed inwardly, his severe injuries were not feigned.

To gain the trust of the Nangong Household, Murong Tian had let Beiming Kong strike him with grievous wounds.

“Tian’er!” Nangong Lie rushed forward in panic and asked, “Tian’er, what happened? Who injured you?”

“Feng… Feng Wuchen,” Murong Tian managed to utter with difficulty.

Murong Tian’s injuries were indeed serious; Beiming Kong’s strikes were far from light.

“Tian’er, quickly take this elixir!” Nangong Lie hastily took out an elixir for Murong Tian to swallow.

“Where’s Nangong Jin?” the eldest elder asked anxiously, looking back to see that apart from Murong Tian, there was no one else.

Not seeing Nangong Jin, the eldest elder immediately panicked.

“Nangong Jin was killed by that damned girl. I was fighting with Feng Wuchen and was suppressed by the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, completely powerless to save Nangong Jin. I could only watch helplessly as he was killed by that damned girl!” Murong Tian strained to speak, his pale face showing a look of grief.

“What? Jin’er is killed?” Upon hearing this, the eldest elder instantly lost his composure.

“Jin… Jin’er is dead…” Nangong Jin’s father, Nangong Wuhen, trembled, his mind going blank, appearing as if his soul had flown away.

“Outrageous! Someone dared to kill a member of my Nangong Household!” Nangong Lie roared in fury, a terrifying murderous aura exploding in an instant.

“That damned girl is stronger than Nangong Jin. Fortunately, I severely wounded Feng Wuchen and took back the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower,” Murong Tian said with a mix of grief and anger, slowly taking out the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower and handing it to Nangong Lie.

“The Nine Layers Qiankun Tower!” Seeing the sacred tower, Nangong Lie and the others were astounded.

The Nine Layers Qiankun Tower that Murong Tian took out confirmed he was not lying!

Murong Tian had done his best, and he had even risked his life to retrieve the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, which was commendable enough that no one dared to blame him.

“I have not failed the mission, and have not disgraced my grandfather. It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t kill Feng Wuchen. That girl can form a powerful barrier; the force is terrifying. It was that barrier that injured me. If I hadn’t severely wounded Feng Wuchen and used it to threaten him, I wouldn’t have been able to return,” Murong Tian said mournfully.

Looking at the eldest elder, Murong Tian said remorsefully, “Eldest Elder, I’m sorry, I failed to protect Nangong Jin and let you down.”

The eldest elder had already been standing there petrified, immovable as if he hadn’t heard Murong Tian’s words.

The news of Nangong Jin’s death was too much for the eldest elder to accept.

Seeing the desolate look on the eldest elder, Murong Tian sneered inwardly, “Old fool, try targeting me again, I will kill you sooner or later!”

“Unforgivable!” Nangong Lie raged, shouting, “Feng Wuchen! And that damned girl! They must not be forgiven!”

An extremely horrifying murderous aura spread wildly, the terrifying aura of the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm instantly enveloped the vast Nangong Household.

The Nangong Household was enraged!

The Nangong Household’s might was ferocious, much more formidable than Zangling Valley. Feng Wuchen definitely couldn’t contend with the Nangong Household, especially now that the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was in their possession!

Having provoked the Nangong Household, a formidable tiger, Feng Wuchen was now facing a grave crisis.
