"Arrogant brat!"
"Just a sharp tongue!"
Yao Wangui's gaze gradually calmed. Although he had concealed his killing intent very well, none of the alchemists present were fools, nor were they Dou Zongs or Dou Huangs.
Any Eight-Rank Alchemist was a Dou Zun.
After all, only a Dou Zun had the ability to preserve a pill beneath Pill Lightning and become an official Eight-Rank Alchemist, rather than a quasi-Eight-Rank Alchemist—or a quasi-Ninth-Rank Alchemist like Yao Lao. Therefore, although these Eight-Rank Alchemists stood far below Yao Wangui, a Dou Sheng, in terms of strength, it was absolutely impossible for Yao Wangui to hide his killing intent so thoroughly that none of them noticed it.
What was more, alchemists' Mental Power was inherently slightly stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.
Thus, before Yao Wangui could finish his next sentence, several Eight-Rank Alchemists affiliated with Danta and on good terms with Xuan Yi and Yao Chen rose to their feet. Some even slammed their palms against the table. It was not exactly a threat, but it was still a warning. "Yao Wangui, do you intend to attack someone from Danta in public?"
They knew how to pin labels on people too.
