The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 720 - : The Outcome of Gossiping

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: The Outcome of Gossiping

Inside the closed-off space, Zhou Yishui sat cross-legged, looking ethereal and solemn. His eyes were tightly closed, but the Spirit Eye on his forehead was continuously opening and closing.

Every opening and closing of the Spirit Eye seemed to let a stream of golden light flow through.

Zhou Yishui was contemplating; he wanted to comprehend the secrets of this place, obtain the greatest inheritance of the Supreme Saint Hall, and then leave this eerie place that left a bad impression on him.

Not knowing how long he had been meditating, Zhou Yishui even felt that his realm had improved slightly, bringing him a step closer to the Spirit Vein realm.

Even so, Zhou Yishui could still not comprehend any secrets, nor could he detect anything special within this enclosed space.

Zhou Yishui couldn’t help but wonder, is my contemplation useful at all?

...

Despite his doubts, Zhou Yishui didn’t have any other options right now. He could only grit his teeth and continue his contemplation. Perhaps this closed space did indeed hold secrets, but his contemplation had not been profound enough, which was why he hadn’t noticed.

“I don’t believe it. With my talents, even if a secret is deeply hidden here, I will uncover it. This place can’t trap me,” Zhou Yishui thought to himself, still full of confidence.

At this moment, Wang Erdan and others undergoing the trials were somehow brought back to the great hall.

“What’s going on?” Wang Erdan scratched his head, looking as puzzled as Mei Yingxue, Dugu Ruoxu, and the others.

“I was clearly fighting someone who looked just like me. How did I suddenly end up back here?” Dugu Nian said in surprise. His body was still buzzing with intense inner strength vibrations, clearly having just experienced a particularly fierce battle.

As they were grappling with their confusion, Fang Lin appeared, a smile on his face.

“Fang Lin!” Everyone looked at him with surprise. They hadn’t expected him to show up at this moment, and his method of appearing seemed as if he had just materialised out of thin air, rather than having walked out from the golden path.

“How did you pop up just like that?” Wang Erdan asked in astonishment as he circled around Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn’t answer his pointless question. Instead, he spoke to the crowd, “We can leave here at any time.”

“What?” Everyone was even more surprised by this news.

“Fang Lin, what are you talking about? Did you pass the trial? But even if you alone passed the trial, only you could leave,” Mei Yingxue asked with a frown.

Fang Lin smiled and shook his head, “I’ve passed the trial and have been recognized by the Supreme Saint Hall. I can bring you all out with me.”

Upon hearing this, although they were taken by surprise and had doubts, the predominant feeling among the group was joy.

After all, none of them wanted to be trapped in the Supreme Saint Hall, even if it held great opportunities. Who knows how long it would take to leave? They might have turned to ash here before they could reap the benefits.

“Are you lying to us?” Dugu Ruoxu asked, looking skeptical.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes and retorted, “Do you think I need to deceive you? If you don’t want to go, you can stay here. I won’t take you with us.”

Dugu Ruoxu immediately closed his mouth at Fang Lin’s response. Regardless of his previous discontent with Fang Lin, he had to respect him now or risk being left behind in the Supreme Saint Hall all alone, which would surely drive him mad.

“You dare to leave my cousin here alone?” Dugu Nian glared at Fang Lin, her face full of discontent.

Fang Lin snorted, “Believe it or not, I’ll leave you here too?”

Dugu Nian gritted her teeth, but she didn’t truly believe Fang Lin would leave her behind.

“Since we can leave, let’s go quickly. Who knows what the situation is like outside now?” Steward Shen suggested, looking quite worried.

“Oh, right. Where’s Zhou Yishui?” Wang Erdan suddenly asked.

Fang Lin sneered, “Just let that guy stay here. What’s the point in mentioning him?”

Wang Erdan nodded in agreement and said with satisfaction, “Yeah, let that jerk rot here. It really serves him right.”

“Is this really okay?” A female disciple from Heavenly Fragrance Valley cautiously asked.

Fang Lin glanced at her but remained silent. Wang Erdan immediately responded, “What’s wrong with this? Do you feel sorry for Zhou Yishui? Letting him die here is too easy for him!”

The female disciple dared not say anything more. Mei Yingxue cast her a flat glance. Although she said nothing and didn’t show any emotion, her gaze carried an obvious warning for the disciple to stop talking.

The next moment, Fang Lin led everyone out of the Supreme Saint Hall and they appeared directly outside the ancient battlefield.

“Finally back in the sunlight,” Wang Erdan exclaimed. Having no idea how long they had stayed in the Supreme Saint Hall, they felt a sense of unfamiliarity, as if they had returned to the world from the nether.

“Huh? Where’s Fang Lin?” It was only then that everyone noticed Fang Lin hadn’t appeared.

“Did he stay behind in the Supreme Saint Hall?” Everyone began to guess.

“I get it. Fang Lin must have found something in the Supreme Saint Hall. He sent us out so he could monopolize everything,” a young man from the Dugu Family suggested, looking pleased with himself, as if he had seen through everything.

“So what?” Dugu Nian looked at him coldly. Despite being from the same family, she couldn’t hide her disgust.

The young man was taken aback. He then looked at Dugu Ruoxu, expecting him to speak up for him. However, Dugu Ruoxu didn’t spare him a glance.

“How did Fang Lin get to hog everything? And he sent us all out… What a cunning person,” the young man said, his face turning sour.

“Heh, let Fang Lin send you back in later,” Dugu Nian scoffed.

The young man immediately shut his mouth. His face turned from green to white. He belonged to Lord Fenglei’s line and held a hostile attitude towards Fang Lin.

“What others get is none of your business. If you’re capable, go and seize opportunities yourself. Otherwise, shut up. Out of kindness, he brought you out. Now you’re backstabbing him, aren’t you a disgrace to the Dugu Family?” Dugu Nian said bluntly.

The young man felt aggrieved, his eyes filled with resentment. If Dugu Nian weren’t such a high-ranking figure in the Dugu Family, he wouldn’t have let this slide.

Dugu Ruoxu gave the young man a glance, and suddenly made a move. With one sword strike, he stabbed through the young man’s heart.

This drastic action surprised everyone, including Dugu Nian, who hadn’t expected Dugu Ruoxu to be so ruthless as to kill a clansman on the spot.
