A Fourth-Rank Alchemist!
No one knew he held this distinction, not even within the Misty Cloud Sect.
Although his talent for alchemy was far from outstanding, Yun Cheng harbored considerable ambition.
By chance, Yun Cheng had learned the Demon Flame Sect's secret from an ancient book, discovering that the sect actually concealed Heavenly Flames, a wondrous treasure born of heaven and earth.
As an alchemist, Yun Cheng knew perfectly well how important Heavenly Flames were to alchemists, despite his unremarkable talent.
From that moment onward, the idea of wiping out the Demon Flame Sect had taken root in his heart.
Unfortunately, his standing in the Misty Cloud Sect had been too low for him to carry out such an undertaking.
Only after all these years of clawing his way upward had Yun Cheng finally gained some standing in the Misty Cloud Sect. Coupled with his disciple's death and Yun Qian's connection to the Demon Flame Sect, this had finally given him a rare opportunity.
As long as I obtain the Demon Flame Sect's Heavenly Flames, my alchemy will improve tremendously. When that happens, my standing in the Misty Cloud Sect will rise with the tide!
Yun Cheng drew a deep breath, barely able to contain the surging excitement in his heart.
In his eyes, once he subdued the Heavenly Flames, he would surely catch up to Pill King Gu He if given enough time!
Had Su Tian known what Yun Cheng was thinking, he probably would have offered him only two words.
Stupid...
Idiot.
"An evil demonic cult?"
Yan Lie naturally knew nothing of Yun Cheng's thoughts. Seeing the arrogant bearing of Yun Cheng and his companions, he laughed in utter fury.
"So this is how the mighty Misty Cloud Sect behaves, despite calling itself a great and upright sect?"
