The old man from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land roared angrily, and everyone around him immediately fell silent.
A terrifying aura erupted from the old man, enveloping the heavens and earth with a buzzing sound, almost instantly covering the entire alchemy field.
All the cultivators with lower cultivation levels turned pale instantly, staring in horror at the elder from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.
This was a shrewd man with a gloomy face. Wherever his gaze fell, a chilling killing intent spread. It was clear that this old man was indeed filled with murderous intent and was furious.
The group of people fell silent in terror. Yang Zhen let out a soft "Huh?" and looked up, only to be somewhat disappointed.
"Damn it, what's with all this arrogance if he's not even in the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
boom!
A booming sound of air emanating from the Rainbow Tower came from above, "Friend Chengxu, please calm down. Why get angry with the children?"
As soon as he finished speaking, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. Each snowflake was icy and refreshing, landing between heaven and earth and completely dissolving the aura that the old man from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land had unleashed.
Seeing that someone from the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain had intervened to stop the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, everyone became excited, jumping up and down and shouting, "What? The mighty Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, even at this point, not only do you not want to release them, but you also want to kill them to silence them?"
"Murder to silence witnesses? We're standing right here. How many can you kill? Release them now! What kind of damned Heavenly Spring Sacred Land is this, doing such despicable things that even petty thieves wouldn't deign to do!"
As the controversy intensified, many people, emboldened by the presence of the old man from the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain, began to hurl every insult they could think of.
The Ghost Alchemist and Fang Zhongjian exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered. Neither of them had expected things to develop to this extent.
Just as the two said, Yang Zhen, that bastard, must have done it on purpose. He deliberately feigned weakness and deliberately lured the Ghost Alchemist into his trap step by step.
What kind of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is this? Losing only requires dancing in front of everyone? Who the hell has ever seen such a thing, especially in a competition between Alchemist where life and death are at stake Ghost Alchemist? Does Yang Zhen Yang Zhen expect the Ghost Alchemist to be so tolerant and wait to win so he can dance the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?
It was intentional. Yang Zhen must have done it on purpose; this was exactly the situation he wanted.
But... I'm so annoyed!
The situation is now irreconcilable, and the die is cast; there's nothing Ghost Alchemist and Fang Zhongjian can do about it.
Seeing Yang Zhen's grinning face, the Ghost Alchemist spat out two words through gritted teeth. "Release him!"
"But..."
Fang Zhongjian was still somewhat unwilling, staring at Yang Zhen with a gloomy expression.
"I said, release them!" the Ghost Alchemist roared, his eyes suddenly turning blood red. Fang Zhongjian's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said to his fellow disciples behind him, "Release them!"
They've released him!
When they saw Feng Lingqiao emerge from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and approach Guan Guan, Ji Yourong, and the others, everyone cheered as if they had won a great victory, shouting with great gusto.
Yang Zhen gave Feng Lingqiao a reassuring look and looked at Fang Zhongjian and the Ghost Alchemist with great interest.
A sinister smile flashed across the Ghost Alchemist's face as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, "The person has been released. Do you have any more questions?"
"That's all..." Yang Zhen waved his hand.
"Since there are no further problems, then we shall..."
"Wait!" Yang Zhen suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, wait, I have another question."
"Any other questions?" The Ghost Alchemist's voice was distorted as he glared angrily at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked at the Ghost Alchemist with a grin and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's not a big problem. I just wanted to ask you... are you angry?"
"You!" The Ghost Alchemist's face turned ashen. He stepped forward and glared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Fine, what a sharp-tongued brat! I hope your alchemy skills are as sharp as your words. You... are doomed!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and hummed a little tune as he walked towards his alchemy platform.
"Damn, this Ghost Alchemist is really something; he can even calm his State of Mind like this."
Yang Zhen muttered to himself, took a deep breath upon seeing the empty alchemy platform.
The two alchemy platforms were about ten meters apart, and they were identical in appearance and material, clearly prepared for Yang Zhen and the Ghost Alchemist to refine pills.
This is an open alchemy competition. Yang Zhen and the Ghost Alchemist can do whatever they want, as long as it's not too outrageous, they can all bear it.
After all, what the two of them were going to do was not to quietly refine pills in a secluded room, but to cross the perilous Pill Bridge, so all sorts of things could happen.
Seeing that Yang Zhen and the Ghost Alchemist had both arrived at each other's alchemy platforms, everyone calmed down and subconsciously stepped back, making room for Yang Zhen and the Ghost Alchemist.
Seeing that both of them had become serious, even Yang Zhen, who was usually carefree, had become calm, most of the people present became somewhat tense. Clearly, neither Yang Zhen nor the Ghost Alchemist were confident of victory.
Little did anyone know that Yang Zhen's expression wasn't because he was afraid of losing to the Ghost Alchemist, but simply because he had too many pills he could refine and didn't know which one to refine for the moment.
At this moment, even the Holy Lord of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Holy Lord of Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain brought their respective groups to the alchemy field. The two distinct groups each found a place and began to watch the competition between Ghost Alchemist and Yang Zhen.
Guan Guan looked at Yang Zhen nervously, muttering to herself, " The Ghost Alchemist has reached the Three Flowers Realm, having already achieved the Pill Ghost level. This is a special realm that is slightly higher than the Pill Refining Grandmaster Realm. If Yang Zhen is not careful, he might be targeted."
"What? Does that mean Yang Zhen might lose?"
"How could Yang Zhen possibly lose to this inhuman, ghostly fellow? Throughout all these rumors, has Yang Zhen ever lost?"
"It's precisely because they've never lost that they're prone to carelessness; how often do we see people unexpectedly fail?"
A group of people began to discuss the matter, and everyone became suspicious and uncertain.
The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain smiled and said, "The competition hasn't started yet, so everything is still uncertain. You can simply watch. Guan Guan..."
"Disciple is here." Guan Guan hurriedly arrived in front of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain.
"This alchemy competition is truly a rare opportunity. You must not only focus on Yang Zhen. Although that Ghost Alchemist's methods are strange, they also have many merits. You must devote yourself to learning from him."
Guan Guan nodded in Guan Guan, then glanced at Yang Zhen with a worried expression.
At that moment, both the Ghost Alchemist and Yang Zhen emitted an unusual aura.
Almost simultaneously, rays of light emanated from the two individuals, slowly extending outwards like tentacles, fluttering and undulating in the wind.
Yang Zhen's light was a soft, golden glow, while the Ghost Alchemist's light was blood red, his appearance ferocious and chilling.
If Yang Zhen's aura was as gentle as a snail's antennae, then the aura emanating from the Ghost Alchemist was like a snake's stinger, giving people a chilling feeling.
As their breaths touched, they looked up at each other almost simultaneously.
A terrifying aura was about to erupt, and both of them wore meaningful smiles.
"Here we go!"
Everyone gasped, their gazes turning serious.
