Chapter 28: A Group Fight
It took Lan Yue a while to realize that a dark shadow had appeared above her head.
"Hey, what are you people from the Alchemy Pavilion doing here? You're not welcome here at the Spirit Weapon Hall!" Two elders from the Spirit Weapon Hall shouted from mid-air.
"This is the Four Arts Hall. The entire Four Arts Hall belongs to the sect. What's wrong with us just taking a look around?" The elder of the Alchemy Pavilion stood on a furnace with flickering blue and white flames and replied with dissatisfaction.
"Leave now, or our Spirit Weapon Hall will not be so polite!" The hall master of the Spirit Weapon Hall waved his small fan, and in an instant, a huge whirlwind blew over.
"Why are you being so fierce? If you're leaving, then leave, but before you go, we need to take our disciples from the Pill Pavilion with us."
"The sect leader already told us beforehand that this child has a great talent for alchemy and wanted her to come and learn it. But she just happened to wander into your Spirit Weapon Hall. Of course we have to take her away. What if you have some kind of conspiracy here?"
The elder standing on the alchemy furnace was called Fang Ding. He was very tall and had a very rough voice. He didn't look like someone who often practiced alchemy at all; instead, he seemed to be someone who practiced physical training year-round.
"Intrigues and schemes? What kind of intrigues and schemes could our Spirit Weapon Hall possibly have? On the contrary, your Alchemy Pavilion is constantly plagued by problems, isn't it? Either disciples are assassinated, or someone's Dao heart is destroyed. Tell me, is this a place where a human being can stay?" The Spirit Weapon Hall Master stood firm.
This is a prodigy capable of repairing immortal artifacts! In fact, Yunxi had never even learned artifact crafting before. If Yunxi had started learning from a young age, she might even have been able to craft genuine immortal artifacts in the future.
That's a celestial artifact! He wouldn't even look at any ninth-grade pill that wasn't a celestial pill!
"Don't just talk about our Pill Pavilion, your Spirit Weapon Hall isn't exactly a good place either, is it? I remember someone mysteriously disappeared a while ago, supposedly because they offended your nephew. If you stay here and accidentally offend your nephew, wouldn't another one disappear?"
Fang Ding's words were utterly merciless.
In front of a ninth-level alchemist, nothing else matters!
If given the chance, he'll expose all the old, rotten secrets of the Spirit Weapon Hall!
"You, you, you're spouting nonsense! My nephew has absolutely no relation to him; this is just a rumor!" The head of the Spiritual Energy Hall was furious.
"If all else fails, we'll have a fight, and whoever wins can take the person away!"
"Alright, let's have a fight and see who comes out on top!"
A group of elders stormed out of the Four Arts Hall's protective array and then engaged in a fierce battle on it.
Li Bai below was utterly dumbfounded. "The elders are really going all out for Junior Sister Yun."
This is on a completely different level compared to when his master tried to take him away!
Back then, Master only fought one-on-one, but now these elders are ganging up on him!
"So it was for Yunxi, no wonder." Lanyue suddenly realized.
She was a little confused when she heard it, but now she finally understood.
[Lan Yue: As expected of the female lead, as long as I, Nü'e, show my talent, there will be people vying for me wherever I go. Hmph, this is nothing!]
In the original story, there were several battles between major sects, all for the sake of winning over my daughter!
Lan Yue's proud, whispered voice made the elders fighting in the crowd above twitch at the corners of their mouths.
However, they did not restrain themselves and continued to fight as before, even becoming more and more ferocious each time.
"Why do you, an old man, insist on competing with our Pill Pavilion? That's a ninth-level alchemist! Only one such alchemist appeared in the entire cultivation world ten thousand years ago!" Fang Ding was so angry that he could only question the other party through telepathy.
"I don't care if you're a ninth-level alchemist. Do you even know what a celestial artifact is? Do you know how powerful someone is who can repair celestial artifacts without having studied artifact crafting? You and Fang Mutou are just a bunch of blockheads. Let me tell you, I won't give up. If you have the guts, we'll go find the sect leader together!" The head of the Spirit Artifact Hall, unafraid, replied via telepathy.
The two fought from one mountain peak to another, from the sky to the ground, turning the entire Nanling Sect upside down and even waking up many elders who were in seclusion.
After the elders woke up, they flew over to ask the people of the Four Arts Hall what had happened. After receiving the answer, they flew back up and joined the battle.
Lan Yue below was utterly dumbfounded. Although she knew that battles within this sect were nothing special, she was still shocked to see this scene.
"How about we cultivate together?" Lan Yue nudged Yun Xi and suggested.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Li Bai coughed until his face turned red, and he almost choked on his own.
What kind of outrageous things are these from my junior sister? Is it really appropriate to extend such a blatant invitation?
Most importantly, she invited Yunxi!
