Unite the Alchemists!

Seeing this, the guards at the entrance were dumbfounded with fear.

Hearing the commotion, Yuan Yi, the master of Eight Gates, immediately appeared at the scene.

"Who dares cause trouble on Eight Gates territory?"

After looking around, Yuan Yi failed to find the troublemaker.

Strange. He had clearly sensed an attack from a Five-Star Dou King just now!

Could it have been an illusion?

However, Yuan Yi quickly dismissed that thought. Once the guards had recovered their senses, they immediately told him everything that had happened.

After hearing them out, Yuan Yi frowned slightly.

He had heard of Soul-Awl Killing God as well.

However, this man had always acted alone and refused to join any faction. That was why all the major powers feared him.

After all, someone capable of threatening a Dou King was an unpredictable factor wherever he went!

But the reason he had ended up on every major faction's kill list was because of the bounty issued by Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor!

It turned out that the first Dou King Fa Wutian had killed was one of Han Feng's men.

When Han Feng examined his subordinate's cause of death, he discovered that the man had been killed by soul power!

Upon seeing this, Han Feng immediately concluded that Fa Wutian possessed a soul skill!

Driven by greed, he used avenging his subordinate as a pretext and offered all sorts of tempting rewards, successfully placing Fa Wutian on the kill lists of every major faction.

As a result, information about Fa Wutian's whereabouts became a hot commodity throughout the Black-Corner Region.

It seemed that the man from earlier truly had known Fa Wutian's whereabouts.

He had simply been unlucky enough for Fa Wutian to tamper with him beforehand.

After piecing together the whole story, Yuan Yi frowned and said, "What rotten luck! Such a huge opportunity just slipped away for nothing! Next time something like this happens, make him write down the information first!"

"Yes!"

After giving his orders, Yuan Yi entered Eight Gates.

Peace Town.

As soon as Fa Wutian arrived, he ran into Old Li from last time.

"Are you one of the students Wang Hao recruited?"

"Instructor Li, you have a good memory! When I first arrived at Canaan Academy a year ago, I met you here."

"Oh, right, right! I remember now! You're that super S-rank student Wang Hao recruited! He even treated us old brothers to drinks over it! But why aren't you staying at the academy at a time like this? What are you doing here?"

Hearing his question, Fa Wutian did not hide anything.

He told Old Li that he had come to Peace Town to find the alchemists.

In his view, what he was about to do could not be hidden from Old Li anyway.

Rather than conceal it, he might as well tell him outright.

That way, he could use Old Li's familiarity with Peace Town to quickly find those alchemists.

After all, Old Li had been stationed in Peace Town all this time, so he naturally knew the place better than Fa Wutian did!

However, after hearing Fa Wutian's honest explanation, Old Li froze.

He had never imagined that the little kid from a year ago had already broken through to the Dou Spirit realm!

That was a realm he himself had never reached!

Still, he quickly came back to his senses.

He and Fa Wutian had never belonged to the same world!

After steadying himself, he slowly said, "Come with me! I'll take you to them!"

"Mm!"

Fa Wutian nodded at his words.

Soon, the group made their way grandly toward an inn.

After arriving at their destination, Old Li said, "This inn is specially used by Canaan Academy to receive alchemists from the Black-Corner Region. At this time, they should all be here. You can go in and talk to them!"

"Instructor Li, aren't you coming with me?"

"No! If you weren't Old Wang's student, I wouldn't have brought you here. But now that I've brought you here, it's time for me to leave. My duty is still to patrol Peace Town. I can't neglect it just for you, kid, can I?"

"Mm! Take care, Instructor Li!"

"You too! As far as I know, those alchemists don't have very good tempers. Be careful!"

With that, Old Li turned and left.

Fa Wutian then walked into the inn.

"Welcome, sir! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The moment Fa Wutian entered the inn, the waiter hurried over to greet him.

He knew that everyone staying here was an alchemist!

As a mere waiter, he could not afford to offend people like them!

That was why he was being so enthusiastic.

"Go call all the alchemists here downstairs! If any of them refuse to come, tell them a great opportunity is waiting for them. Otherwise, once they miss it, it'll be gone for good!"

Hearing Fa Wutian's words, the waiter looked troubled.

After all, he could not afford to offend those alchemists!

And he did not know Fa Wutian's true intentions.

If they came after him later, he would definitely be dead!

"Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. This matter—"

Before the waiter could finish, Fa Wutian tossed out a large bag of gold coins.

"Go. As long as you do it, this bag of gold coins is yours! And I guarantee they won't trouble you afterward!"

Looking at the bag of gold coins before him, the waiter was tempted.

"Sir, can I spend this money as I please?"

Fa Wutian nodded.

Seeing that, the waiter gritted his teeth.

I'll do it! At worst, eighteen years from now, I'll be a hero again!

If this job goes well, I can quit this work, return to my village, marry a wife, and have children!

With that in mind, the waiter immediately followed Fa Wutian's instructions and called down every alchemist in the inn.

Whenever he encountered someone unwilling to come, he repeated Fa Wutian's words.

Sure enough, once they heard there was a great opportunity, everyone came to the hall without hesitation.

After all, they were in Peace Town. They did not fear that the other party would dare lay a hand on them!

After arriving in the hall, the alchemists saw how young Fa Wutian was and immediately grew suspicious of the great opportunity he had mentioned.

"Hey, kid! Are you the one who had the waiter call us down?"

"That's right!"

"Judging by your appearance, you probably haven't even had your coming-of-age ceremony yet, have you?"

"No."

The coming-of-age ceremony was held when a person turned sixteen.

Fa Wutian was not even fourteen yet. Of course he had not undergone it.

"Then I'm curious! What great opportunity could a little brat who hasn't even come of age possibly have? Are you toying with us?"

Hearing the man's question, Fa Wutian did not rush to answer. Instead, he calmly swept his gaze over everyone present.

After looking them over, he found that most of these alchemists were middle-aged men in their thirties or forties.

Only a small number were young men in their twenties or thirties.

Moreover, most of them were second- or third-rank alchemists. Only the man before him was a Fourth-Rank Alchemist like him!

At that moment, the man before Fa Wutian vaguely sensed that he was being examined and could not help frowning.

It seemed the other party was not as simple as he had imagined!
