The three of them looked over.
Yun Yier immediately became nervous. The sisters of the Wu family and Mu Hongti were also worried.
“That’s me,” Chen Fan said indifferently.
“You’re just an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator. How dare you call yourself an Elixir Monarch? You’re hilarious.”
Long Hua grunted and raised her chin arrogantly.
“Your Dharma Power… is indeed weak.”
Everyone knew what Gufen meant. Chen Fan’s level was too low for him. Hu Mei and Hu Xiao snickered, while the sisters of the Wu family and Lin Wuhua looked upset.
“Too weak.”
Lichen shook his head.
There were flashes of silver light in his eyes and he stared at Chen Fan.
“An Elixir Monarch shouldn’t only be good at alchemy, but should also be powerful. When our ancestor was granted the title of Elixir Monarch, he ranked second on the Longevity Roll. Without enough strength, how can you use a Heavenly Cauldron to make Heavenly Pills?”
Lichen created some screeches as he spoke. He stood there and gave everyone a lot of pressure.
“Boom, boom!”
People around Chen Fan backed away.
Mu Hongti and Yun Yier immediately turned pale. If it wasn’t for Wu Baisu, they would have been killed.
As for Lin Wuhua, she was still hanging on, but her mouth was bleeding and she had to fall back. The other Overlords of the Wu family and the Alchemy Guild had also backed away. In the end, only the sisters of the Wu family, Zhao Juexian and Situ Cheng still stood behind Chen Fan, but they were surrounded by fire and True Essence, and were apparently resisting with all their powers.
In the end, dozens of meters around Chen Fan had become empty and only a few people were still standing.
“Lichen is too powerful.”
“He hasn’t even attacked. His sword energy has already frightened many young elites. Lin Wuhua is an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator and is strong enough to fight with the Lady of the Wu family, but she still can’t withstand his energy for even a second.”
“The elites on the Longevity Roll are indeed powerful!”
Many people were terrified.
“Lichen, don’t go too far. This is the Beihuang Region. Don’t you think that we can’t handle you!”
Wu Baisu grunted and stood in front of Chen Fan.
A black wave appeared behind her which had a black tripod cauldron inside. It was a hundred feet tall and it blocked Lichen’s sword energy.
Wu Baisu got more furious. The Wu family also had a Heavenly Lord before and had a Heavenly Treasure. Even though they were inferior to the Heavenly Jade Institute, they were also powerful. Wu Baisu was a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator. How would she be afraid of Lichen?
“Hm?”
Lichen narrowed his eyes.
He then shot out a stream of silver aura which looked like a Heavenly Sword and slashed with it. Wu Baisu didn’t step back. Her black tripod cauldron’s Dharma Form was enlarged; it seemed as if it were going to break the sky.
While the two of them were about to fight.
“That’s enough!” someone said.
Wang Xuanlong waved his hand and a starry curtain fell, splitting the two of them, The silver blade aura and the Dharma Form were blocked. The curtain might seem thin, but it was as hard as an iron wall.
“Brother Lichen, this is the Beihuang Region, not the Heavenly Jade Institute,” Wang Xuanlong told Lichen seriously.
Long Hua and Gufen only stepped forward and many young cultivators of the Beihuang Region had raised their swords, standing behind Wang Xuanlong. Facing three elites of the Longevity Roll, Wang Xuanlong and Wu Baisu weren’t strong enough.
“Fine, I was just asking.”
Lichen flicked his sleeves and stopped his friends, but he stared at Wang Xuanlong.
“But please remember that we’ll never allow anyone to posture as an Elixir Monarch, or it will be a humiliation to the Heavenly Jade Institute and the entire alchemy world. We might go to the Beihuang Region to look for the people who are responsible for that. By then, even if the Wang family are not to blame, you won’t be able to get away from the charge of protecting a criminal.”
Everyone was startled.
“Brother,” Wang Xuanfeng yelled.
The Wang family certainly wasn’t scared of Lichen, Long Hua and Gufen. Although they were elites on the Longevity Roll, the Wang family had a Heavenly Lord who could kill them in an instant. However, if they made the entire alchemy world angry, the Heavenly Jade Institute, Saint Fire City and even Alchemy King might come for them, and they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
Even Wang Xuanlong hesitated, not daring to make a decision easily.
“The Sword Prince is right. An Elixir Monarch is as superior as a Heavenly Lord. How would a weak young man who came from a Barren Region become one? There should be something we don’t know,” someone suddenly said.
People turned around and saw Hu Xiao get up calmly.
“Hm, Hu Xiao.”
While the sisters of the Wu family grunted and were about to speak—
The Sect Master of the Sanshan Sect also said, “That’s right, I saw Elixir Monarch Chen make the pill with my own eyes, but it’s possible that they fooled us the non-initiated.”
“Yes, I’ve already doubted this Elixir Monarch was fake long before. Maybe the Alchemy Guild lied,” Perfected Cultivator Xuannu also said furiously.
Then, eight Sect Masters and family leaders spoke.
Chen Fan had refused to make pills for them or had had a conflict with their descendants. The Shan family and the Wang family were also among them. All the people from the Beihuang Region used to be on the same side against the three elites, but they broke the defense line.
Many people instantly doubted.
“Yeah, the Alchemy Guild and Elixir Lord might have been able to put up an act. They just needed to make a Heavenly Pill or buy one beforehand. A Heavenly Pill isn’t expensive for the Alchemy Guild.”
Most people still trusted Chen Fan and Wu Qinyan also ignored those people. She knew they held a grudge against him.
But the Wu family and the people of the Alchemy Guild became anxious when someone else spoke, “This is indeed suspicious. I agree with what you said. We need to discuss further whether Chen Beixuan is an Elixir Monarch or not.”
This was a man in a black outfit. His hair was grey and he sat there with a cold face. His energy was as powerful as that of Wu Baisu and Hu Xiao.
Nin Haichao!
An elite of the Nin family and one of the top five Overlords among the younger generation of the Beihuang Region. People wondered if he was representing the Nin family, which was a Heavenly Lord Family, which was on par with the Wu family, the Hu family and the Alchemy Guild.
After such a superior person spoke, people immediately began to support Lichen’s claims, while many others were still undecided.
But this wasn’t the end.
While everyone was watching in shock…
Many young, fierce Overlords got up.
“The Feng family agrees with Brother Nin. This needs an evaluation.”
“The Taiyi Sect agrees.”
“The Commerce Guild seconds it.”
Feng Yuqiu from the Feng family, the heir of the Taiyi Sect, Shang Hangkong, the Young Master of the Commerce Guild…
Those people were either the descendants of a Heavenly Lord Family or the heirs of a top sect. All of them were as powerful as Wu Baisu and Hu Xiao. More importantly, the forces they represented made everyone feel hopeless.
“The Hu family, the Nin family, the Feng family, the Taiyi Sect, the Commerce Guild… They constitute almost half of the top forces in the Beihuang Region!”
All the members of the Wu family felt a chill down their spines.
There were less than ten forces in the Beihuang Region that once had Heavenly Lords in the past and five of them had stepped up. Even the Wang family would fear five families working together.
Then.
The entire Ancient Deity Plateau went silent.
Those from the Wu family and the Alchemy Guild turned pale and many cultivators of the Beihuang Region were anxious. Although Yun Yier didn’t know them, she could sense something was wrong and she gripped Chen Fan’s sleeve.
“What’s going on?” Wu Qinyan wondered.
If there were only three elites, the cultivators of the Beihuang Region could totally block them, but it would be difficult when five families changed their stances at the same time.
“Brother Wang, friends, we can guarantee that the Alchemy Guild didn’t make this up…” Wu Qinyan said anxiously.
But before she finished, someone next to her got up.
That man was wearing a white robe that had four stars on it, meaning that he was an elder of the Alchemy Guild. He was Situ Cheng, who had refrained from saying a word since the beginning.
He then looked up and said, “Before I came, my Master told me that the Alchemy Guild was a holy place that had thousands of years of history in the Beihuang Region. My Master is indeed responsible for this. If our friends want to reconsider Chen Beixuan’s position of Elixir Monarch, we of the Alchemy Guild will do whatever we can!”
Once Situ Cheng spoke.
Wu Qinyan looked at him in shock.
Other people were confused and the disciples of the Alchemy Guild and the Wu family were stunned.
Wasn’t the Alchemy Guild on Chen Fan’s side? Why did they betray him?
What was happening?
Situ Cheng remained silent.
“This is a trap!” Wu Baisu said coldly.
She had finally realized that this gathering was undoubtedly a trap.
They had come for Chen Fan and his title. Hu Xiao, Nin Haichao and Feng Yuqiu had to be among the people who had set up this trap. Without them, the three elites of the Longevity Roll wouldn’t have been there.
“I just pray that the Wang family isn’t involved in this. If so, there’s still hope…”
She looked at Wang Xuanlong.
No matter what Hu Xiao and Lichen said, the Beihuang Region was the Wang family’s territory after all.
Wang Xuanlong was expressionless.
“As the descendant of the Wang family and the organizer of the gathering, I must be fair. I now announce that we’ll take away Chen Beixuan’s title of ‘Elixir Monarch’ for now and let the families and the three Heavenly Sects evaluate again. The Beihuang Region will never allow a fraud to occupy such a superior position,” Wang Xuanlong said indifferently, like a king that ruled the world.
“It’s over.”
Wu Baisu closed her eyes.
What Wang Xuanlong said was undoubtedly a death sentence for Chen Fan. Without the Elixir Monarch identity, those families could do anything they wanted to Chen Fan. He was only a Golden Core Cultivator who had a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator as his servant. They were no match for so many Heavenly Lord Families.
“Alchemist Chen, you’ve made too many enemies.”
Wu Baisu smiled wryly.
Elixir Monarch! Your Majesty! Someone who was comparable to a Heavenly Lord…
How glorious were these titles? And how many enemies had Chen Fan made? The Hu family, the Alchemy Guild, the Sanshan Sect, Perfected Cultivator Xuannu… More importantly, he had offended the Feng family and the Nin family as he had been staying at the Wu family estate, refusing to make pills for the other families.
When Wang Xuanlong spoke.
Hu Xiao sat there with his legs crossed and had never looked at Chen Fan.
But the people present noticed that Hu Xiao looked different.
Chen Fan had slapped Hu Mei before, but Hu Xiao didn’t do anything. A lot of people thought the Hu family had declined and was being suppressed by the Elixir Monarch. However, Hu Xiao turned the tide.
“Without the Elixir Monarch title, you’re just an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator. How can you be on an equal footing when facing so many elites? I’m afraid even the servants of the Hu family are stronger than you.”
Many people started to feel pity for Chen Fan.
And Hu Mei even smirked and stared at Chen Fan with a joyful look as if he had already died.
Nin Haichao, Feng Yuqiu and Shang Hangkong all looked indifferent and remained silent. Everything had been set when Wang Xuanfeng spoke. Even Violet Moon Fairy shook her head and sighed.
“What a shame. You could have risen to the top, but now, you’ve fallen to the bottom.”
Lin Wuhua and Mu Hongti had turned completely pale and Wu Qinyan cracked a wry smile. Those from the Wu family and the Alchemy Guild looked at Chen Fan pitifully; they knew he was no longer superior. When the Wang family made the decision, who else could save Chen Fan?
“Alchemist Chen Beixuan, do you have anything to say about the decision?”
Wang Xuanlong looked at Chen Fan.
“Please believe in the fair judgement of all the families.”
Feng Yuqiu smiled.
“Right.”
Nin Haichao nodded.
Hu Xiao didn’t even care to smile.
As for the three elites from another region, they ignored Chen Fan and saw everyone else with contempt.
As Chen Fan was surrounded by so many elites on the Ancient Deity Plateau and when everyone thought he had no choice but to yield…
He suddenly burst into laughter.
He was laughing joyfully and everyone was confused.
“What are you laughing at?” Long Hua asked.
Without the title of Elixir Monarch, Chen Fan was as vulnerable as an ant in front of the elites. And yet, he was still laughing, which made Long Hua feel confused.
“I’m laughing because you’re all too confident!”
Chen Fan smiled and there was coldness in his eyes. “I never cared about the title. Even if it’s Alchemy King, Alchemy God or Alchemy Saint, you can have it if you want.
“But if I refuse, you can’t forcefully take it away either!”
Then, Chen Fan stood upright and said with disdain, “Are you done talking? If you are, come up and die!”
Everyone went silent.
Then.
They were stunned!
