Chapter 1135: 1135

Xuantian Dao Sect, why would you kill my Pill Valleys honored guest Elder? If you dont give me a satisfactory explanation, just wait for Pill Valleys sanctions!

There were dozens of red-robed elders standing in front of the Xuantian Dao Sects mountain gate . All of them had the image of a pill furnace embroidered on their chests .

These people came from Pill Valley . The Alchemy Pavilion Master had been one of their members . He could be likened to one of Pill Valleys external Elders, one of their outside workers .

On the Martial Heaven Continent, ninety-nine percent of all alchemists were related to Pill Valley in some way . If they werent direct disciples of Pill Valley, they were still under Pill Valleys name . One reason was because this status was grander, while the other reason was that this status would allow them to receive Pill Valleys protection in times of trouble .

The Alchemy Pavilion Master had only dared to do what he had done because of his status as part of Pill Valley . According to reason, if he had truly committed such a grave crime, the Xuantian Dao Sect should have first alerted Pill Valley . With his status, he couldnt be killed just because they wanted to kill him .

And so Pill Valleys people had come for an explanation . Seeing this, Long Chen sank into thought . It seemed this matter was growing more and more complicated .

Scram!

In front of these tyrannical experts from Pill Valley, the Xuan Masters reply was just a single word . It was curt and sharp, clearly expressing his attitude .

Those Pill Valley experts were all infuriated . They represented Pill Valley, but they had been told to scram?

Their leader shouted, How brazen! Do you realize what youre doing?

Suddenly, the Xuantian Tower located at the center of the sect lit up with blazing light, and a terrifying pressure descended .

Ill give you to the count of three . Scram or die . Choose for yourself . The Xuan Masters icy voice rang out once more .

Fine! Then lets wait and see! I hope your Xuantian Dao Sect can stay so obstinate to the end! Dont come crawling on your knees to my Pill Valley!

With a final roar, the Pill Valley experts left . All the Elders were worried . The usually refined and patient Xuan Master had actually become this coarse . He even completely offended Pill Valley .

With their Alchemy Pavilion and medicinal fields destroyed, the Xuantian Dao Sect would quickly reach the point of despair .

Long Chen, come to my room . Just as Long Chen was watching Pill Valleys experts leave, the Xuan Masters voice rang out in his head .

When he arrived, he was surprised to see that the Xuan Masters expression was very relaxed . He was leisurely steeping some tea .

What? Is my expression different from what you imagined? The Xuan Master smiled .

Cough, maybe a bit . Long Chen sat beside the tea table . He saw the tea had just finished steeping and was about to pour some .

But the Xuan Master beat him to it, pouring tea into Long Chens cup . At this time, the Xuan Master didnt have any bit of a sect leaders imposing dignity . Instead, he seemed like an ordinary elder .

Do you have many questions? The Xuan Master pushed the teacup in front of Long Chen .

Long Chen hastily received it with both his hands . He nodded . Yes . But Im afraid that once I ask, youll once again say that its not something I should know . Then I wont have any face and Ill feel like a foolish child .

You are a baby barely into his twenties . Compared to us, you are naturally a child . Youre still in the process of learning how to walk and accumulating experience . The more you fall, the more youll learn .

Some things cant be told to you because of karmic restrictions, and some things would not be the slightest bit beneficial to you if you learned them . Instead, they would rattle your Dao-heart . But, as long as certain things are within the right scope, you can still learn them, said the Xuan Master with a smile .

Then disciple wont stand on courtesy . I want to know, what was that figure that only appeared for a flash in the scene that day? Was it someone from Pill Valley?

The Xuan Master laughed, Child, your eyes are sharp . I put it away so quickly, but you still noticed . Yes, that person is truly from Pill Valley . In fact, hes one of the people that came today .

Then does that mean you are completely clear about everything that happened?

Correct . Other than the Tower Department Head, no one else knows this, but every action, every movement in the Xuantian Dao Sect is under the surveillance of the Reincarnation Mirror . The only exception is you .

Hearing that everyone was under the Reincarnation Mirrors supervision startled him . Then wouldnt that mean his secrets had been exposed?

In truth, Im quite curious about your secrets . Id be interested in knowing what trump cards you have . But the Reincarnation Mirror was once injured because of you, and it doesnt dare to watch over you any longer as it is afraid of being infected by karma . The Xuan Master helplessly shook his head .

Back in the Eastern Wastelands branch sects trial, Long Chen had suddenly encountered the soul of an expert from the Corrupt path . It had helped him activate the Future Lake within the trial, which had allowed him to look at his origins .

But only a few scenes had appeared before everything had vanished . In order to con the soul, he had then asked it to help him deduce the origin of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art .

Future Lake was a projection of the Reincarnation Mirror . Deducing the origin of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art had almost caused the Reincarnation Mirror to be permanently damaged, so as soon as he arrived in the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Reincarnation Mirror had noticed him, which was why the Xuan Master and patriarch had immediately taken note of him .

I am very clear on what happened with the Alchemy Pavilion . In fact, I intentionally allowed it . Zhao Changting was actually a chess piece that Pill Valley placed inside my Xuantian Dao Sect to keep watch over us . You dont need to find that strange . Pill Valley is far greater than you imagined . Although Pill Valley claims that it doesnt participate in the cultivation worlds struggles and is neutral, it actually secretly controls countless sects . Thats because all the large sects are dependent on it . Although the Dao Sect treated Zhao Changting well, his aspirations were too high . Even though this matter was a result of Pill Valleys decision as well, the original idea definitely didnt come from them .

Disciple doesnt understand .

Pill Valley has an outer valley and inner valley . The inner valley rarely gets involved in mundane matters . Instead, they focus on cultivation and researching the Pill Dao . But the outer valley is in charge of Pill Valleys regular operations and businesses . It is in charge of the Pill Towers that interact with the rest of the world . There are four hundred and eighty Pill Towers in the Central Plains, all of them in charge of the supply of medicinal pills in different regions . The group of people that just came are in charge of the Pill Tower in the region we are in, and their relationship with the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect is very good . Now do you understand? explained the Xuan Master .

Now Long Chen understood . This matter had been done intentionally by Pill Tower because of their relationship with the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect .

The Alchemy Pavilion Master wished to become a true member of Pill Valley, which was a sacred land for alchemists . As long as the Pill Tower set up a few conditions and made a few promises, guaranteeing that the Xuan Master wouldnt do anything to him, the Alchemy Pavilion Master wouldnt possibly be able to resist their enticement . That was what had caused the Alchemy Pavilion to explode .

But the Alchemy Pavilion Master hadnt thought that his protective talisman would be completely useless . The Xuan Master hadnt even given him a chance .

Is the Pill Tower really so brazen? Isnt the Xuantian Dao Sect one of the three great heavenly sects? They dare to treat us like this? asked Long Chen .

Yes, we are part of the three great heavenly sects . But the three great heavenly sects have long since declined . That saying is just a sign of our former glory . Now, there are other more powerful sects, and the three great sects are only a bit above middle-level powers . We fell from the ranks of the top sects a long time ago .

The most important thing is that the Pill Towers people know that no matter what, Pill Valley will protect them . Pill Valleys power is so great that as long as they declare you are black, you will never be white again . Furthermore, Zhao Changtings actions will cause us to be dependent on Pill Valley, so they wouldnt punish anyone . Instead, they would secretly reward the Pill Tower for this, said the Xuan Master indifferently .

Then arent we currently in a grave crisis?

We entered a constant state of crisis a long time ago . The dangers you can see arent fearsome . The worst danger is the one of the frog being boiled alive in a slowly heating pot of water . By the time you react, it would be too late . Now, the danger is crystal clear . Thats not necessarily a bad thing . As for those people from the Pill Tower, theyre trying to hit us while were down . They want us to be completely under the banner of Pill Valley . Rather than that, having them directly scram will make the Dao Sects interior much cleaner and is even beneficial, said the Xuan Master .

But our medicinal pills and medicinal fields

Foolish child, since I could allow Zhao Changting to do this, how could I not have my own preparations? Four hundred years ago, I secretly created another alchemy region and recruited quite a few alchemists . Although it wasnt as much as the Alchemy Pavilion, there are enough stores of medicinal pills to last us a few years . The Xuan Master involuntarily laughed .

Long Chen also awkwardly laughed . But his laugh was a bit forced .

Do you feel like Im too cruel? asked the Xuan Master .

Perhaps it just really is like you say . Im not suited to be a ruler . Long Chen couldnt help but sigh emotionally . This matter had killed so many people . The Xuan Master had clearly known that would happen, but he had still allowed it to occur .

Although to a ruler, doing such a thing wasnt a problem, Long Chen still felt uncomfortable with it . He definitely wouldnt just watch as members of his Dragonblood Legion died, not even one .

There is no absolute right and wrong in this world . The only thing that matters is the final result . If there comes a day that you have to sacrifice a part of your Dragonblood Legion to save the majority, what would you do? The Xuan Master looked at Long Chen .

I wouldnt allow such a thing to happen .

But what if it did happen? What would you choose? If you hesitate, it will only cause more people to die .

If such a thing truly happened, I wouldnt sacrifice a part . I would bring everyone to die along with them! Hypothetical questions are all senseless things . Long Chen smiled, completely calm .

The Xuan Master was startled . He hadnt thought about this answer . After a long moment, he sighed . Long Chens style of handling things was too domineering . But compared to a soft approach, hard things snapped easier . Long Chens character was lacking elasticity .

Alright, then lets talk about proper things . Im preparing to send you to get a large sum of money, said the Xuan Master .
