Xiao Yan looked calmly at Gu Li, who was still in a state of emotional turmoil. Suddenly, a thin, almost invisible line of Heavenly Flames shot out from his usually calm eyes and flashed before Gu Li's eyes.
As the thin line flashed by, Gu Li's spirit was instantly jolted, as if he had heard a thunderclap and was suddenly awakened.
" Yan Xiao... this... you just now..."
The power Xiao Yan had just displayed made Gu Li's speech somewhat slurred; although she had something she wanted to express, it was stuck in her throat.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly upon seeing this. He naturally understood what Gu Li wanted to express, but the power he had just displayed had already surpassed Gu Li's understanding of Three-Star Half-Emperor.
That kind of power, if Xiao Yan becomes Eight-Star Half-Emperor in the future, even with Gu Li's strength, it would be difficult to suppress it. He might even be able to suppress it with his own strength!
Despite being only Three-Star Half-Emperor, he possesses Dou Technique capable of forcibly engaging in combat with Six-Star Half-Emperor, a level above his own. Such strength is truly heaven-defying...
But now, Xiao Yan, who was already powerful, not only possessed extremely powerful high-level Dou Technique, but his physical body was also incredibly strong. He resolved the full-force attack of a One-Star Half-Emperor with just two fingers. Such a feat is truly terrifying!
Two fingers already possess power stronger than One-Star Half-Emperor, but if all ten fingers were fully extended, how powerful would that power be!
I'm afraid that even someone with the strength of a late-stage Two-Star Half-Emperor would be able to be killed by Xiao Yan's current physical body!
Wei Yi's fall today will inevitably become Xiao Yan's stepping stone. In just a few days, Yan Xiao's name will probably spread throughout the entire southwest region!
On the Void Plaza, Gu Li's voice instantly jolted everyone present back to reality. Those Half-Emperor Sovereign powerhouses, needless to say, were filled with nothing but horror...
As for the countless spectators in the stands, after Wei Yi's golden knife was clamped between Xiao Yan's two fingers, they took in everything that happened. Now that they had come to their senses, the stands immediately became chaotic.
Xiao Yan didn't bother with the people in the stands, and he had no time to pay attention to the Half-Emperor either. All their attention was focused on the only focus of the entire event: Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, I apologize, Guild Master Gu Li. I accidentally eliminated your Alchemist Guild's chief alchemist. However, in my opinion, this can be considered as removing a potential threat to the Alchemist Guild. After all, Wei Yi's actions today were contrary to the Alchemist Guild!"
Xiao Yan ignored the stares coming from all directions, smiling as he looked at Gu Li, while his eyes occasionally glanced at Old Monster Hu standing next to Gu Li.
At the same time, Xiao Yan inadvertently saw that Old Monster Hu's gaze actually swept over Mo Zhai.
Immediately, Xiao Yan understood a little. This Old Monster Hu was probably not someone invited by Wei Yi.
A thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, but a smile reappeared on his lips. In a flash, he arrived in front of Gu Li.
Such terrifying speed caused Old Monster Hu to show a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly turned it into a cold snort, glancing at Xiao Yan with an inscrutable expression, his thin figure gradually becoming illusory.
Finally, after Gu Li's investigation, they completely departed, and Xiao Yan stood quietly in the void, waiting for Old Monster Hu to leave...
As Eight-Star Half-Emperor, Old Monster Hu naturally knew that in front of Gu Li, whose strength was similar to his own, he had no chance to conceal his aura. Playing those little tricks was pointless.
" Yan Xiao, are you alright after that move you just made?"
After Old Monster Hu left, Gu Li couldn't help but ask Xiao Yan with concern. Xiao Yan smiled faintly, extended his right hand, and made a clenching motion in the air.
In an instant, the visible wisps of heaven and earth energy in the space rapidly condensed, transforming into a drop of extremely pure milky white energy liquid in Xiao Yan's palm. The power contained within was enough to allow a high-level Dou Sheng to break through to the next level!
Seeing this, Gu Li understood, but her gaze towards him was filled with disbelief. Xiao Yan could only shrug and say nothing.
Now that Wei Yi is dead, Gu Li naturally won't say much. Even though he is the chief alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, his actions have already crossed the bottom line of the Alchemist Guild. After all, nominally, Xiao Yan is also a member of his Alchemist Guild.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yan doesn't kill him, Gu Li and Chi Lin will definitely not let him go. Wei Yi's death has always been a major concern for Gu Li and Chi Lin. Now that Wei Yi has dug his own grave, they are naturally happy about it and would not blame Xiao Yan.
Gu Li smiled at Xiao Yan, then his figure flashed and he instantly appeared in the center of the Void Plaza. With a thought, an invisible pressure instantly swept across the entire Void Plaza.
The stands, which had been like a bustling marketplace just moments before, suddenly became quiet and still as that oppressive aura spread.
Now that Old Monster Hu has left the square, Gu Li is naturally the strongest, and the strong are always able to be the rulers.
"Gentlemen, our former chief Alchemist Guild, harboring resentment towards our guild, intended to betray us and even plotted to murder our Alchemist Guild elder. Such a treacherous individual will be thoroughly investigated and punished by our Alchemist Guild!"
"Now that this traitor has been killed by Elder Yan Xiao of our Alchemist Guild, I, Gu Li, on behalf of the Alchemist Guild, hereby announce that Elder Yan Xiao!"
Gu Li's words shocked not only the countless people in the stands, but even Xiao Yan himself. He was quite taken aback. He had been appointed as the chief alchemist so unknowingly!
Gu Li completely ignored the change in Xiao Yan's expression, and after a pause, continued:
"From this moment forward, Elder Yan Xiao will possess equal rights with me Gu Li, and Vice President Chi Lin within our Alchemist Guild. The three of us will be equals!"
"Anyone here who dislikes Elder Yan Xiao is welcome to come to my Alchemist Guild. My Alchemist Guild will certainly have someone to treat you well!"
As Gu Li finished speaking, the threatening undertones in her words grew stronger, causing many of the Half-Emperor present to change their expressions and quickly suppress any curiosity they might have had.
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Mo Zhai's expression grew even more somber. He knew that today's Alchemist Grand Meeting could not proceed as scheduled and would have to wait until tomorrow...
After giving Xiao Yan and Gu Li a fierce glare, Mo Zhai put away the pill formula in his hand, flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and strode away...
