"That clown is here!" Ling Fei sneered and stood up immediately. He walked to the door and pulled it open.
Ling Xiao and the other three also walked out. They didn't believe that the others dared to stir up trouble here.
When he walked out of the door, he saw that there were a total of eight people on the other side. The man with the braid who was injured earlier was among them. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Ling Fei, as if he wanted to swallow Ling Fei alive.
Among these eight people, five of them were at Half Incipient God Realm and the other three were at King God Realm. They were from the Demon Tiger Sect.
There was a young man in the middle of the eight people. He was extraordinarily handsome, and there was a strong sense of killing intent between his brows. His tiger-like eyes flashed with arrogance. He wore an alchemist robe and had a divine badge pinned to his chest. He wore a tiger-shaped band on his head, which gave him a bit of a grandeur.
He was the most outstanding Divine Alchemist of the Demon Tiger Sect, Jiang Xuan. He was almost five hundred years old. Dozens of years ago, he was already a Divine Alchemist at King God Realm.
"What are you knocking for? Do you want to die?" Ling Fei glared at the people in front of him and shouted impolitely.
He knew that they didn't come with good intentions. Of course, he wouldn't try to persuade them.
"Really arrogant. Don't forget that this isn't your Dragon Gate!" said Jiang Tu, the strongest Half Incipient God Realm expert of the Demon Tiger Sect.
"Hehe, you also know that this is not our Heavenly Dragon Sect. However, this is also not your Devil Tiger Sect. It is better for you to keep a low profile in someone else's territory. Otherwise, you will lose face for their master. If that happens, we will not be the ones to suffer!"
The moment Ling Fei said this, the Devil Tiger Sect's arrogance was indeed reduced by quite a bit. However, they couldn't just retreat just like that.
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Which one of you is Ling Xiao? Come out and let this Divine Alchemist take a look and see if you're really Tenbin talented. A Divine Alchemist who's not even a hundred years old, tsk tsk, even if you started concocting pills in your mother's womb, you wouldn't have this kind of ability!"
Jiang Xuan had always been a very proud person. Although he did not inherit the true bloodline of the Demonic Tiger Clan, he had obtained a heaven-defying opportunity from a young age. His performance in alchemy was astonishing, so the resources he received were no less than the direct descendants of the Demonic Tiger Clan, or even more.
Originally, he felt that he was the youngest Divine Alchemist, but he heard that there were two people in the Medicine Alliance who were as outstanding as him. They were Miao Qingyue and Yan Die Jiao. Miao Qingyue was about the same age as him, but Yan Die Jiao was much younger than them.
Therefore, their Devil Tiger Clan had set up a marriage alliance with the intention of letting Jiang Xuan obtain that Yan Die Jiao, and it could be considered as a perfect pair!
However, the Alchemy Conference this time was the Medicine Alliance's preliminary selection for Yan Die Jiao.
This news was only known by some of the Medicine Alliance's inner court elders, others were not aware of it.
Jiang Xuan was determined to obtain the first place in this Alchemy Conference, so he would not allow any mistakes to occur!
However, just now, he actually heard that Yan Die Jiao had personally gone to receive the Dragon Gate's Divine Alchemist to this palace city. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, even if the Dragon Gate's Divine Alchemist was brought here in advance, he would not have thought much of it.
However, he felt that a goddess like Yan Die Jiao would not lower herself to receive someone. She should have sent someone else to do it.
After all, he did not have such an honor to come here.
However, the Divine Alchemist of their Devil Tiger Sect's arch-enemy, the Dragon Gate, had such treatment. He could not help but feel jealous!
"Just because you don't have the ability doesn't mean that others don't have the ability. Go back to where you came from, stop buzzing around like a housefly and disturbing my peace!" Ling Xiao said without any trace of politeness.
When the members of the Devil Tiger Sect heard Ling Xiao's words, their expressions became gloomy.
"Sharp-tongued. You must be Ling Xiao. I wonder what your alchemy skills are like? If you have the ability, let's have a competition right now. Whoever loses will be kicked out of here and won't need to participate in the Alchemy Conference. What do you think?" Jiang Xuan stared coldly at Ling Xiao and said.
If Ling Xiao's Tenbin made him jealous, then when he saw Ling Xiao's face that attracted women, his jealousy grew even stronger!
Think about it, which woman would not like a capable and handsome man!
Therefore, Jiang Xuan did not wish for Ling Xiao to stay here any longer and ruin his plans.
"Honestly speaking, you do not have the qualifications to challenge me!" Ling Xiao replied without any trace of politeness.
"You … Fine, fine. When the time comes for the Alchemy Conference, I will let you know what true alchemy is!"
Jiang Xuan saw that Ling Xiao was not affected by his provocation and agreed repeatedly. He then said, "What about the fact that you guys injured our people just now?"
"We did not injure him. He must have accidentally fallen and injured himself!" Ling Fei was just about to reply when Ling Xiao beat him to it.
"Get lost! He was obviously the one who injured me just now. How dare you lie through your teeth!" The man with the braid pointed at Ling Fei and shouted.
"What proof do you have to prove that he injured you?" Ling Xiao asked in return.
"What proof do I need?" The man with the braid replied.
"You're really stupid. We've been sitting in the room the whole time. How did we injure you?
Don't tell me you came looking for a beating?
You guys of the Demon Tiger Sect are all sick. If you don't have anything to say, then get lost. Of course, if you want to fight here, that's fine as long as you can afford to offend the owner of this place! "Ling Xiao wasn't polite at all, criticizing the man with the braid and the people of the Demon Tiger Sect.
When it came to eloquence, Ling Xiao was miles ahead of these people.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!" A Half Incipient God Realm expert of the Demon Tiger Sect couldn't stand it anymore. He thundered and wanted to attack Ling Xiao's team.
However, Jiang Tu stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive. They know that we can't fight here, so they purposely provoked us. If we fall into their trap, we'll be in big trouble." Pausing for a while, he looked at Ling Xiao's team and said, "What's the use of arguing? Why don't we have an alchemy competition in advance? You and Divine Alchemist Jiang Xuan will compete together. Then, we'll invite the people of Palace City to evaluate. Whoever loses will get lost from Palace City. What do you think?"
Jiang Xuan immediately sneered and said, "That's right. Whoever loses will get lost. I don't know if the cowards of the Dragon Gate have this kind of guts!"
Among the genius alchemists who were invited to Palace City, Jiang Xuan felt that the most threatening one was Ling Xiao.
He looked to be around a hundred years old, but he was already an alchemist. One could imagine his future prospects.
If the three Great Masters of the Alchemy Union valued him, then the Demon Tiger Tribe's plan would fail.
This wasn't a situation they wanted to see. They had to make preparations in advance to prevent such a thing from happening!
Therefore, Jiang Xuan said this in order to get Ling Xiao out of the competition in advance. What a good plan!
However, this also showed that Jiang Xuan was very confident in his alchemy ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this.
Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Ling Fei loudly said, "Let's compete then. We'll do as you said. Whoever loses will get lost. I hope you won't cry and beg to stay!"
Dragon Gate and the Demon Tiger Sect were irreconcilable enemies. Since the other party said this, Ling Fei was naturally angry. Moreover, he believed that Ling Xiao wouldn't disappoint him.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, 'Brother is too impatient. He gets angry so easily and will easily fall into the other party's trap!'
Although Ling Xiao was very confident in himself, since the other party dared to raise such a request, needless to say, he had absolute confidence. He had no choice but to be careful.
However, Ling Fei already said it. What else could he say? Besides, the other party also immediately sealed off their retreat route.
"Alright, we'll let the Alchemy Union's Divine Alchemist be the judge immediately. The two of us will refine pills openly. No matter what method, as long as whoever can refine a divine pill, then we'll compare to see whose pill refinement is better!" Jiang Xuan agreed readily.
A cold faint smile flashed across his eyes. It was as if he could already see the dawn of victory!
Ling Xiao, Ling Fei, and the rest also heard the meaning of Jiang Xuan's words. That sentence "no matter what method" definitely contained some conspiracy!
Lan Qi reminded Ling Xiao by the side, "Be careful. The Demon Tiger Tribe is very adept at playing dirty!"
Ling Xiao could tell that this Jiang Xuan only had middle-stage Divine King strength at a glance. It was indeed very good for him to have this kind of strength at his age.
But he was a genuine Peak Divine King. Jiang Xuan didn't seem to have the qualifications to play dirty with him.
Furthermore, as long as he wanted to play, how could this Jiang Xuan be his match!
"Alright, let's begin immediately. We will only refine a cauldron of divine pills. No matter what method we use, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit!" Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Haha, you have guts. Then I'll send someone to explain to the Medicine Alliance and let them send someone to be the judge!" Jiang Xuan laughed arrogantly.
Immediately after, they brought their people back to their residences and sent people to find the people from the Medicine Alliance at the same time.
When they just returned to their residence, Jiang Tu immediately said to Jiang Xuan in a deep voice: "Jiang Xuan, you might have to be careful. That Ling Xiao actually has the strength of a Peak Divine King!"
"What, he's a Peak Divine King?
Could I have seen wrongly? "Jiang Xuan said in shock.
"Absolutely not. I suspect that he's a cultivator who stole his body. Otherwise, how could he be so outstanding? You have to be careful!" Jiang Tu replied with certainty.
"If that's the case, then it'll be difficult for me to use fire control skills to deal with him." Jiang Xuan revealed a troubled expression. After pausing for a moment, he said, "Looks like I can only use that move."
At the same time, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he was already determined to win.
… ….
Within the palace city, Yan Die Jiao had already received the news that Ling Xiao and Jiang Xuan were going to compete in advance.
Her beautiful eyes rippled with charm as she said to the black-robed elder beside her, "Since they want to compete, then as the host, we can't be petty. I'll go and be their judge. At the same time, our guild will provide the divine materials for them to refine pills, and the divine pills will belong to them."
This black-robed elder was called He Wei, and he was one of Yan Die Jiao's Protector Elders.
He Wei objected, "Miss, if we let them do this, I'm afraid that many people will leave before the convention even starts. This won't be good for our guild, right?"
"It's fine. Sooner or later, someone will be eliminated. Letting them settle their grudges in advance won't affect the progress of the convention. Moreover, I also want to see if they have the qualifications to meet the three masters in advance!" Yan Die Jiao replied.
