Chapter 154 The mysterious old man
Su Yuer smiled and poked her back teeth in a rather evil way, which made things more and more interesting.
Xiao Mohan held her and stepped into the void.
At this moment, the news of the pill tribulation caused by the Nine-Transformation Soul Purification Pill spread throughout the entire imperial city. For a moment, people rushed madly towards the place where the pill tribulation occurred.
Soon, anxious people rushed to the gate of the Wanjin Alchemist Association.
They stopped abruptly one by one.
At this moment, the front of the Alchemist Association was quite spectacular. Looking around, there were many terrifying figures with unfathomable strength and awe-inspiring power.
"What the hell is going on? The place where this pill tribulation occurred was actually the Alchemist Association?" Someone widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.
"That's right, this is just a joke." Someone echoed, his face also full of surprise and confusion.
"Hmph, what do you know! This Alchemist Association is one of the top forces in our Nanyan Continent. Who would dare to provoke it easily?" An old man stroked his beard and said in a serious tone.
Being an alchemist is a very noble and honorable profession, and enjoys supreme honor in the Nanyan Continent.
An alchemist with superb alchemy skills is a coveted commodity that countless forces would fight to obtain.
Even if they only receive a little bit of favor, it would be a great honor for any force.
People outside were talking about it...
Xia Mo and President Lou walked out of the alchemy room.
When they looked at the roof that was blown to pieces, they were stunned and speechless for a long time.
"This... this magical pill came out and the roof was blown off..." Xia Mo shook his head with a wry smile.
President Lou was also at a loss for words. He sighed helplessly, "This alchemy was so exciting. Fortunately, this Nine Revolutions Soul Purification Pill successfully survived the pill tribulation."
"Yeah! It's worth it!"
Immediately afterwards, Xia Mo quickly ordered his men to start repairing the alchemy room, and then returned to the office with President Lou.
After entering the office, Xia Mo skillfully brewed a pot of spiritual tea and poured it into the teacup.
The two sat opposite each other and began to chat.
Xia Mo picked up the teacup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he let out a sigh of satisfaction: "President Lou, I've traveled extensively throughout my life and have seen a lot, but to witness the birth of a divine elixir like today is truly the first time I've ever been here!"
Hearing this, President Lou nodded deeply and replied, "Indeed! It's truly astounding and unforgettable."
After a brief pause, Xia Mo suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! Look at my memory. I was so excited to present the badge to that girl that I forgot about the robe and the Alchemist Association member manual I had prepared."
Upon hearing this, President Lou smiled slightly and consoled her, "It's okay, it's okay. The Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce auction will be held in a few days. You can take these things and hand them over to her in person then."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mo nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, President Lou is really thoughtful! Haha... I was so excited at that time that I actually forgot about such an important matter. I am really old and confused..." After that, he couldn't help but laughed heartily.
At this moment, a man who was in charge of the Alchemist Association hurried in.
He hurriedly approached, bowed slightly, and said, "President Xia, this is bad! A group of extremely powerful people have suddenly gathered outside our Alchemy Association!"
Hearing this, Xia Mo and President Lou were both startled and stood up suddenly.
He asked in astonishment, "What? Is this really happening?"
The two looked at each other and understood each other in an instant.
It must be the commotion caused by the Nine-Turn Soul Purification Pill's pill tribulation that attracted these powerful people.
Xia Mo frowned slightly and asked, "What's the situation outside right now? Are those people taking any further action?"
The man in charge calmed his breath and replied, "President, those people are currently just waiting quietly outside and haven't come near the Alchemist Association yet."
Hearing this, Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "In that case, then don't pay attention to them for now.
I think these people are just trying their luck to see if they can get some information about the Nine-Transformation Soul-Clearing Pill. Once they find there is no hope, they will naturally leave."
The man in charge nodded and said respectfully, "Okay! President Xia, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Xia Mo nodded slightly, and the man in charge bowed and turned to leave the room.
Watching the manager's departing back, Xia Mo muttered to himself thoughtfully, "I was wondering why that couple left so quickly. It turns out they were worried about causing unnecessary trouble for the Alchemist Association..."
At this time, President Lou interrupted and said, "Yes! President Xia, this incident of the Nine-Transformation Soul Purification Pill overcoming the pill tribulation has indeed caused quite a stir. President Xia, you have a lot to deal with, so I will not bother you any further and will return to the Chamber of Commerce first."
Xia Mo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay! You can go back and get busy too. I do have some things to take care of here."
President Lou stood up, bowed, turned and walked out of the room.
the other side
Royal Palace
The old man in the palace who was rushing towards the place of pill tribulation suddenly stopped.
"Why is the location of this elixir the Alchemy Association?"
He paused for a moment, "If it really is the Alchemy Association, it would be really troublesome...
As he closed his eyes and frowned in thought, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Grandpa Emperor...why did you come out?"
Hearing this, a terrifying murderous intent emanated from the old man, and he released a powerful spiritual power in the direction of the voice.
The pressure caused the person opposite to scream.
"Ah...! Grandpa Emperor, I'm your grandson Ling Lifeng! Don't you remember? I'm your grandson Ling Lifeng!"
"Grandson – Ling Lifeng?"
He sucked Ling Lifeng in with his palm and brought him to his side for a closer examination.
Although Ling Lifeng was vomiting blood at this time, he was not seriously injured.
He gave the old man a flattering smile, "Grandpa Huang, don't you remember me?"
"It turns out to be my grandson!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Lifeng nodded quickly when he saw that he finally recognized him.
"Oh! Grandpa Huang, where are you going? Why don't you let your grandson take you there?"
Suddenly, Ling Lifeng came to his senses.
No! When did this Emperor's strength become so terrifying?
At this moment, the old man's eyes were sinister and he said coldly:
"Grandson, are you talking too much? Have you said enough?"
The old man's cold voice sounded, like a cold wind from hell, blowing on Ling Lifeng.
Ling Lifeng's heart tightened involuntarily. Only then did he notice that the murderous intent of the old man became even more terrifying, like a beast with bared fangs, about to devour him.
A sinister smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Grandson, do you know? If you want to take the emperor away, you won't live long."
"I……"
Only then did Ling Lifeng realize that the person in front of him was abnormal.
Ling Lifeng is the crown prince of Qingyun Kingdom. He grew up with the emperor since he was a child and knows him very well.
This person is not the emperor grandfather,
What about the Emperor? Where did he go?
Could it be that Grandpa Emperor... is dead?
Then who is this person who looks like the Emperor Grandpa?
Or...possession?
This soul has taken over the body of the Emperor!
"hiss……"
Thinking of this, Ling Lifeng's heart tightened.
"Grandpa Emperor! If you don't need me, I will take you out, and I will go back to the palace to see my mother!" At this time, his body was covered with white sweat, soaking his clothes.
He felt so regretful in his heart, regretting why he had called him so much.
If he had pretended not to see anything, he wouldn't be facing the crisis he is facing now.
"Oh! Good-for-nothing grandson."
The old man looked at his grandson who wanted to escape with indifference.
He must not let the emperor's son know that he came out of the secret room. After all, his soul has not yet recovered, so he'd better stay hidden!
Just as he was about to kill his grandson, he suddenly remembered something...
Ling Lifeng's body couldn't help but tremble.
Thinking of this, the old man looked at Ling Lifeng, "Grandson, is your mother Concubine Rong?"
"Ah? Yes, Grandpa Emperor, how could you forget?"
The old man recalled the days before when Concubine Rong lay in his arms with her charming eyes, and his body reacted involuntarily.
The old man looked at Ling Lifeng mockingly and smiled, "Grandson, tell your mother that the emperor misses her!"
"Huh?" Ling Lifeng looked at him puzzledly.
"Grandfather Emperor, I will definitely inform Mother.
If everything is fine, I'll leave first!" Ling Lifeng lowered his head and whispered.
"Let's go!"
When Ling Lifeng heard this, he left as quickly as if he was running for his life.
The old man looked at his departing back with disdain.
"idiot!"
He disappeared in a flash.
imperial study room
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and dull.
Emperor Ling Zhenhan sat in front of the dragon table, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, his face solemn.
Sitting quietly beside him was a middle-aged man in blue brocade clothes.
He was seen leaning back in his chair, nonchalantly playing with a pair of crystal clear, shiny balls in his hands, but his eyes would glance at the emperor from time to time, trying to guess what the emperor was thinking.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. A man in a white robe walked in quickly.
This person is Ling Qian, the ninth uncle of Qingyun Kingdom.
When Qingyun Emperor Ling Zhenhan saw Ling Qian coming, his originally tense face instantly became anxious.
He suddenly stood up from his seat, stepped in front of Ling Qian, and asked impatiently, "Ninth Uncle, are the rumors about the appearance of a magical pill true?"
Ling Qian nodded slightly, his expression serious as he spoke, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. This divine elixir has caused a huge uproar. Upon hearing the news, many reclusive ancestors who had not been seen for a long time could no longer contain their excitement and have all come out. They have now gathered in front of the Alchemist Association."
After hearing this, Ling Zhenhan's face turned gloomy.
He slowly sat back on the dragon throne, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the joints turned pale.
