"Hmm?"
Chu Yang's choice to ignore him seemed to make the man somewhat displeased. "Still so proud?"
"But, hahaha—" the man continued, "You alchemists usually all have this rotten temper. But so what? Once you fall into my hands, even if you're sharp, I'll have ways to slowly grind you round."
What did he mean by that? Hearing this, Chu Yang's heart suddenly trembled. Does this guy intend to torture me slowly?
Why?
I have no grievance or enmity with him. I've never even met him before!
From how those two strange flames had driven back Mo Yilin and the two old ghosts from the Drunken Awakened Lion earlier, Chu Yang did not believe this man was with them. After transmigrating into this world, Chu Yang knew that Liu Xi was the first person who truly wanted to kill him, but this man clearly was not one of Liu Xi's people.
Could he be someone backing Xiao Yan, Old Yao, or Xun'er?
Chu Yang gradually thought of this possibility.
He had nearly forgotten that, because he was an alchemist, Xiao Yan, Old Yao, and Xun'er might also want to recruit him.
Rather than showing themselves, they had invited this man to act for them...
By instinct alone, Chu Yang felt that this man was stronger than Old Yao, who, despite being only a soul body, still possessed strength comparable to a Dou Huang!
And if this man was on Old Yao's side, he might be Old Yao's friend.
Right, wasn't Venerable Wind Old Yao's close friend? If Old Yao had asked Venerable Wind to handle this matter, the latter would certainly have had no reason to refuse.
Having thought of this, Chu Yang could not help scrutinizing the unfamiliar man before him.
Although he had only read about Venerable Wind
