In the void, Han Dong placed the specially made alchemist guild master in mid-air with one hand. With a thought, a massive Spiritual Strength surged outward from between his brows like a tide.
The terrifying Spiritual Strength of Fifth-Tier Alchemist caused a violent tremor in the surrounding void when it surged forth, and the terrifying pressure made the faces of the people present solemn.
Although Han Dong's cultivation level was not as high as the other four, with the terrifying Spiritual Strength of Fifth-Tier Alchemist, he could easily suppress any of them except Chen Zhen Han Dong a one-on-one fight.
The invisible Spiritual Strength surged and churned like raging waves, violently distorting the Spiritual Strength void beneath it. It seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if the slightest movement would cause this vast expanse of void to crumble instantly.
Sensing the immense Spiritual Strength, even with Xiao Yan's composure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. His pupils even shrank to the size of pinpoints.
"As expected of Fifth-Tier Alchemist, such powerful Spiritual Strength is truly terrifying!"
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart.
At this moment, the old man also extended two withered fingers that resembled bamboo joints. With a thought, his powerful Spiritual Strength immediately gathered at his fingertips. In the blink of an eye, the invisible Spiritual Strength gradually solidified into a sharp cone, almost tangible.
Han Dong focused intently on controlling the awl at his fingertips, stopping it just an inch from the Alchemist Badge. Then, his gaze shifted back to Xiao Yan, and he asked:
"Young friend Xiao Yan, according to the rules of the Alchemist Alliance, this badge needs to be engraved with the alchemist's unique inscription. Please choose a word."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes darting around as he recalled the first time he met Zhou Tai, whose Alchemist Badge also bore the same single character.
After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the old man before him and said:
"Then please ask the vice-president to carve the word 'flame' for this junior."
Xiao Yan is an alchemist himself, and he is also blessed with strange fire. His name is connected with the word "fire", so it is natural that the alchemist's badge should be engraved with the word "fire".
"Okay, sure."
Han Dong nodded, and immediately, he used two fingers to control the almost solidified cone to engrave it on the Alchemist Badge.
A short while later, the old man handed the Alchemist Badge to Xiao Yan. Looking at the powerful "Yan" character engraved on the badge, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
From this moment on, he has officially joined the Alchemist Alliance. Unlike ordinary people, those who are invited naturally have a slightly higher status in the Alchemist Alliance than those who apply to join.
Moreover, because of the person who invited them, these individuals often receive more and better benefits within the Alchemist Alliance, which is one of the reasons why many people want to join the Alchemist Alliance.
Holding the badge, Xiao Yan looked at the four people opposite him with a smile.
From this moment on, the faces of these four people appeared somewhat distorted and flushed, their gazes fixed intently on Xiao Yan. If looks could kill, Xiao Yan would probably have died a thousand times over.
"Four sect leaders, is there anything else?"
Han Dong also turned around and looked at the four of them with a smile.
If Xiao Yan was alone before, now that he has joined the Alchemist Alliance, Han Dong has a reason to help him. Although these four people are of extraordinary status, they should think carefully before they try to fight against the Alchemist Alliance.
Han Dong's presence is a huge threat to them right now. It's clear that they won't be able to take Xiao Yan away today, let alone kill him.
"Are we just going to turn around and leave in such a humiliating way?"
All four of them had this in mind, and they were especially unwilling to accept it. It was the most infuriating feeling to have a cooked duck fly away from one's mouth.
"If there's nothing else, then we'll take our leave now. Goodbye."
Seeing that the four people in front of him did not move, Han Dong smiled slightly and gestured to Xiao Yan beside him. The latter smiled and nodded. The two of them then set off to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Just as Xiao Yan and his companion turned around to leave, a deep voice suddenly came from behind them.
The two men froze, exchanged a glance, frowned, took a deep breath, and then turned back to look at the four people behind them.
"Is there anything else you four need?"
Han Dong's old face showed a slightly gloomy expression, and he said in a somewhat impatient tone.
" President Han..."
Chen Zhen took a step forward, his eyes narrowed, staring at the two people in front of him with a sharp gaze.
At this crucial moment, the one who spoke was indeed Chen Zhen.
As the leader of the Four Great Sects, only by stepping forward at this moment could he get the three guys beside him to take notice.
Upon hearing Chen Zhen speak, the others in the void all turned their gazes to him. Xiao Yan also frowned slightly, wondering what this guy was up to.
"Now that Xiao Yan has joined the Alchemist Alliance, it would be foolish of us to attack him again. However, you should also know how much manpower and resources our Four Great Sects have expended for the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb. If it weren't for your intervention today, Xiao Yan and Heavenly Severing Steps would have been ours."
So what are you trying to say?
Han Dong squinted, his voice sounding slightly low.
Upon hearing this, the latter also focused slightly, gritted his teeth, and continued:
"Now that Xiao Yan is a member of the Alchemist Alliance, we can let him go, but..."
At this point, Chen Zhen paused, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, a sharp glint in his eyes. The three people beside him seemed to understand as well, and they all turned their gazes to Xiao Yan as well.
"If Xiao Yan can teach us the Heavenly Severing Steps, we can forgive and forget what happened in the past and will never be his enemy again."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened, and Han Dong, standing beside him, also frowned deeply.
"If you are unwilling, then President Han, today, we Four Great Sects have no choice but to offend you!"
Before Xiao Yan could speak, Chen Zhen turned cold, and his aura surged outwards at that moment, instantly spreading a powerful and oppressive aura around him.
