Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783: At Least Ninth Grade or Above
His expression turned cold, and the look he gave the Second Elder was particularly unfriendly.
Had the Second Elder ruined his good fortune? Although usually haughty, the Second Elder didn’t seem like someone who would spoil his plans. Today, however, he was daring indeed.
Could it be that they thought he, too, had grown old and could no longer kill just because he had been too amiable over the years?
“Wan Yan has arrived, please take a seat.”
With guests present, he naturally wouldn’t quarrel with a member of his own Sect but instead suppressed his anger and had his son take his seat.
Then, he gestured to an attendant behind him to keep an eye on Qian Jiyun and his party, curious to see what they could conjure up for not even showing regard for the face of his son, the Young Sect Master.
After all, this was the territory of the Thousands of Demons Sect; such insolence was truly beyond the pale.
“Yes, Father.”
Wan Yan responded, casting a meaningful glance at the Second Elder before taking his place.
Feeling the full force of the malice, the Second Elder had an intuition that, once the welcome banquet was over, his fate would not be pleasant. Yet, at this juncture, he couldn’t retreat and had to sit down alongside Wan Yan, the Young Sect Master.
…
Time unknowingly passed by.
The dinner at Banquet Cloud Hall had just concluded, and as the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, he personally escorted Xie Qi to their residence, followed by a large retinue, much to Xie Qi’s discomfort.
Xie Qi, as well as the fifth and ninth elders of the Evil Sect, knew that these followers had ulterior motives beyond mere hospitality.
Escorting him was merely a pretense; they truly wanted to meet An Jiuyue, the Ninth Grade Alchemist, or perhaps confirm whether this alchemist was genuine.
However, long before the party got close, they detected an unusual scent.
“Hmm!”
Several broad-minded individuals, including the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, hastily covered their noses and mouths.
While covering his own nose and mouth, the fifth elder of the Evil Sect also reached out to cover the nose and mouth of Xie Qi, their Young Sect Master.
“What happened?”
Xie Qi, somewhat bewildered, nonetheless instinctively held his breath.
Wan Yan, seeing this, also covered his nose and mouth, but he had no idea what had happened and could only look around in puzzlement, unable to discern the cause.
“Heaven Suppression Pill, at least Ninth Grade,” the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect said with a very grim face.
Had the pharmacist been thoroughly provoked by the Second Elder to refine a Ninth Grade or higher Heaven Suppression Pill in the territory of the Thousands of Demons Sect, intending to annihilate their entire Sect?
He turned his head, his frosty gaze sweeping toward the Second Elder. If it weren’t for this fool’s nonsense, offending that person, he wouldn’t have had to come personally.
And now, upon his arrival, he was immediately greeted by the scent of the Heaven Suppression Pill.
It was evident that the pill was about to be formed. Such an alchemist was definitely above Ninth Grade—who would willingly endure the displeasure of an elder from the Thousands of Demons Sect?
The Heaven Suppression Pill must have been deliberately refined for them to see!
Feeling the Sect Master’s gaze, the Second Elder was so frightened he didn’t dare to breathe heavily, instinctively lowering his gaze.
Previously, he had doubted the authenticity of the so-called Ninth Grade Alchemist. Little did he know that this person was indeed an alchemist above Ninth Grade—as alchemists were highly proud and seldom made appearances at Sects.
“How could Madam Qian refine such a medicinal pill?”
Xie Qi also looked unsettled, wondering why An Jiuyue would choose to refine the Heaven Suppression Pill.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
