Liu Ling's Narrow Mind

The scene before them was simply too shocking. The Misty Cloud Sect disciples present were all dumbfounded. They found it hard to imagine that their usually courteous Senior Brother could be so hot-tempered. What surprised them even more was the astonishing power of the Dark Purple Flame around him.

"What exactly is the fire on Senior Brother's body? It's so powerful."

"I don't know, but could it be a Heavenly Flame? That flame looks really unusual."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Senior Brother possibly possess something as rare as a Heavenly Flame?"

"Who knows? In any case, things have gotten bad now. Didn't you see the pale look on Deacon Ge Ye's face? I just wonder how this will be resolved today. I hope nothing happens to Senior Brother."

The ordinary disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect wore all kinds of expressions. Naturally, they hoped their Senior Brother would not run into any trouble. In their hearts, Senior Brother had always been an exceptionally steady and reliable person.

On the other hand, whenever they looked at Liu Ling and Liu Wen, they could not help but feel some disgust. After all, those two had just arrived and were already arrogant and reckless, speaking without thinking.

So what if Liu Wen and Liu Ling were disciples of Pill King Gu He? Did being alchemists mean they could do whatever they pleased? This was the Misty Cloud Sect, not the Alchemist Guild!

"Yun Shenwei, you're using your position to bully others. Do you really think us alchemists are so easy to push around? Don't worry, we'll remember this. Later, we'll ask Master Gu He to judge who is right!"

Liu Ling lay on the ground in agony, struggling continuously, yet he still refused to admit defeat. Gritting his teeth, he spat out those vicious words.

"Fine, then go find someone to judge this fairly. I came here sincerely to apologize, and your brother Liu Wen said he needed compensation in the form of a Pill Recipe of equal value. I agreed and gave him one, yet Liu Wen still refused to let it go and insulted the disciples of our Misty Cloud Sect. You can't blame me for that."

As Senior Brother, Yun Shenwei naturally could not appear weak at a time like this. He argued his case with reason.

"You never compensated me at all! You merely threw a piece of scrap cloth at me! As a disciple of Pill King Gu He, could it be that I can't even recognize a Pill Recipe?"

Liu Wen spoke up at this moment as well.

"What a joke! You said I threw you a piece of scrap cloth, but you never even looked at what was written on it."

Yun Shenwei looked coldly at the two of them and continued, "I nearly forgot. You're merely a novice alchemist. With talent as mediocre as yours, it's only normal that you can't understand what I wrote. If your master came instead, perhaps he would be able to make sense of it."

He had every right to say such things. Earlier, he had exchanged for the Basic Pill Refining Technique through the system in the All Heavens Mall. It could be said that he had mastered the refining methods for every pill of Grade Two and below in the All Heavens World.

How difficult would it be to write a Pill Recipe comparable to the Qingxuan Pill created by Pill King Gu He himself?

However, Yun Shenwei would certainly not reveal this matter. A man's only crime was possessing a treasure; there was no need for him to explain everything clearly to these people.

"Fine. Then let's go find Sect Leader Yun Yun and Master Gu He to argue this out and see who is right and who is wrong!"

Liu Ling had clearly decided that Yun Shenwei was toying with him. At this point, he had no intention of arguing further and directly proposed a clean, decisive solution.

"Fine, let's go!"

Yun Shenwei could not be bothered with more nonsense and nodded on the spot.

"Very well. Since you have already made your decision, this old man will not say any more."

Ge Ye had originally wanted to say something else, but seeing how tense the situation had become between both sides, he could only tacitly agree. Moreover, this matter had already exceeded the scope of what he could handle. It would be better to let the Sect Leader make the decision personally.

After hearing the exchange between both sides, the surrounding Misty Cloud Sect disciples could not help but sigh repeatedly. In their view, Senior Brother was likely in grave danger this time. Yet they were insignificant and had no right to speak, so they could only silently watch as the few of them gradually walked away.

Led by Ge Ye, Yun Shenwei's group soon arrived outside the Council Hall of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"You all wait here first. I'll go inside and report this."

After leaving those words behind, Ge Ye entered the hall first. Yun Shenwei, Liu Ling, and the others glared at one another outside the door, anger flickering in their eyes. Yet they knew this was not the time to fight, so they could only endure it.

"Senior Brother, we've caused you a great deal of trouble this time. We're truly sorry."

Niu Xuante felt incredibly miserable. He had originally wanted to seek out Senior Brother to solve the problem, but he had never expected that not only would the matter remain unresolved, he would even drag Senior Brother into it. He was filled with regret and self-reproach.

Xin Daorong felt the same way. He lowered his head, nearly crying.

"Don't worry. What does this amount to? Since I'm the Senior Brother, I certainly won't stand by and watch you get bullied. Rest assured, I know what to do. Besides, I believe the elders will provide a fair and impartial resolution."

Yun Shenwei did not care in the slightest. Naturally, he had his own confidence. Yun Yun was his sworn older sister, and besides, the Pill Recipe he had produced this time was genuine. The other side had taken the Pill Recipe, yet still acted disrespectfully and provoked them. That was their problem. He had merely acted in legitimate self-defense.

"Hmph. Once we enter the hall, let's see whether you can still remain so calm."

Liu Ling viciously spat out a sentence. Now, he could only place his hopes on his master.

Liu Wen did not dare say anything more either. He had personally witnessed the power of Yun Shenwei's Dark Purple Strange Fire. Now, the two brothers had each lost an arm. No one knew what the rest of their lives would become.

However, they had only one thought in their hearts: destroy Yun Shenwei! "What a narrow-minded fellow. No wonder he'll never amount to anything."

Yun Shenwei swept his gaze over the two of them and said meaningfully before turning away.

He knew perfectly well what Liu Ling was capable of. In the original Battle Through the Heavens, Liu Ling was Pill King Gu He's disciple and had always been at odds with Xiao Yan, only to be defeated by Xiao Yan time and time again.

More importantly, his master, Pill King Gu He, had also been suppressed by Xiao Yan in every way. Having his Heavenly Flame stolen was one thing, but even the Yun Yun he loved ended up liking Xiao Yan. It was utterly ridiculous!

"Come in!"

Just as Yun Shenwei was enjoying those thoughts, Ge Ye's voice came from within the hall. Everyone immediately stepped inside.
