“xuantian dao sect, why would you kill my pill valley’s honored guest elder? if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, just wait for pill valley’s sanctions!”
there were dozens of red-robed elders standing in front of the xuantian dao sect’s mountain gate. all of them had the image of a pill furnace embroidered on their chests.
these people came from pill valley. the alchemy pavilion master had been one of their members. he could be likened to one of pill valley’s external elders, one of their outside workers.
on the martial heaven continent, ninety-nine percent of all alchemists were related to pill valley in some way. if they weren’t direct disciples of pill valley, they were still under pill valley’s name. one reason was because this status was grander, while the other reason was that this status would allow them to receive pill valley’s protection in times of trouble.
the alchemy pavilion master had only dared to do what he had done because of his status as part of pill valley. according to reason, if he had truly committed such a grave crime, the xuantian dao sect should have first alerted pill valley. with his status, he couldn’t be killed just because they wanted to kill him.
and so pill valley’s people had come for an explanation. seeing this, long chen sank into thought. it seemed this matter was growing more and more complicated.
“scram!”
in front of these tyrannical experts from pill valley, the xuan master’s reply was just a single word. it was curt and sharp, clearly expressing his attitude.
those pill valley experts were all infuriated. they represented pill valley, but they had been told to scram?
their leader shouted, “how brazen! do you realize what you’re doing?”
suddenly, the xuantian tower located at the center of the sect lit up with blazing light, and a terrifying pressure descended.
“i’ll give you to the count of three. scram or die. choose for yourself.” the xuan master’s icy voice rang out once more.
“fine! then let’s wait and see! i hope your xuantian dao sect can stay so obstinate to the end! don’t come crawling on your knees to my pill valley!”
with a final roar, the pill valley experts left. all the elders were worried. the usually refined and patient xuan master had actually become this coarse. he even completely offended pill valley.
with their alchemy pavilion and medicinal fields destroyed, the xuantian dao sect would quickly reach the point of despair.
“long chen, come to my room.” just as long chen was watching pill valley’s experts leave, the xuan master’s voice rang out in his head.
when he arrived, he was surprised to see that the xuan master’s expression was very relaxed. he was leisurely steeping some tea.
“what? is my expression different from what you imagined?” the xuan master smiled.
the alchemy pavilion master wished to become a true member of pill valley, which was a sacred land for alchemists. as long as the pill tower set up a few conditions and made a few promises, guaranteeing that the xuan master wouldn’t do anything to him, the alchemy pavilion master wouldn’t possibly be able to resist their enticement. that was what had caused the alchemy pavilion to explode.
but the alchemy pavilion master hadn’t thought that his protective talisman would be completely useless. the xuan master hadn’t even given him a chance.
“is the pill tower really so brazen? isn’t the xuantian dao sect one of the three great heavenly sects? they dare to treat us like this?” asked long chen.
“yes, we are part of the three great heavenly sects. but the three great heavenly sects have long since declined. that saying is just a sign of our former glory. now, there are other more powerful sects, and the three great sects are only a bit above middle-level powers. we fell from the ranks of the top sects a long time ago.
“the most important thing is that the pill tower’s people know that no matter what, pill valley will protect them. pill valley’s power is so great that as long as they declare you are black, you will never be white again. furthermore, zhao changting’s actions will cause us to be dependent on pill valley, so they wouldn’t punish anyone. instead, they would secretly reward the pill tower for this,” said the xuan master indifferently.
“then aren’t we currently in a grave crisis?”
“we entered a constant state of crisis a long time ago. the dangers you can see aren’t fearsome. the worst danger is the one of the frog being boiled alive in a slowly heating pot of water. by the time you react, it would be too late. now, the danger is crystal clear. that’s not necessarily a bad thing. as for those people from the pill tower, they’re trying to hit us while we’re down. they want us to be completely under the banner of pill valley. rather than that, having them directly scram will make the dao sect’s interior much cleaner and is even beneficial,” said the xuan master.
“but our medicinal pills and medicinal fields...”
“foolish child, since i could allow zhao changting to do this, how could i not have my own preparations? four hundred years ago, i secretly created another alchemy region and recruited quite a few alchemists. although it wasn’t as much as the alchemy pavilion, there are enough stores of medicinal pills to last us a few years.” the xuan master involuntarily laughed.
long chen also awkwardly laughed. but his laugh was a bit forced.
“do you feel like i’m too cruel?” asked the xuan master.
“perhaps it just really is like you say. i’m not suited to be a ruler.” long chen couldn’t help but sigh emotionally. this matter had killed so many people. the xuan master had clearly known that would happen, but he had still allowed it to occur.
although to a ruler, doing such a thing wasn’t a problem, long chen still felt uncomfortable with it. he definitely wouldn’t just watch as members of his dragonblood legion died, not even one.
“there is no absolute right and wrong in this world. the only thing that matters is the final result. if there comes a day that you have to sacrifice a part of your dragonblood legion to save the majority, what would you do?” the xuan master looked at long chen.
“i wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.”
“but what if it did happen? what would you choose? if you hesitate, it will only cause more people to die.”
“if such a thing truly happened, i wouldn’t sacrifice a part. i would bring everyone to die along with them! hypothetical questions are all senseless things.” long chen smiled, completely calm.
the xuan master was startled. he hadn’t thought about this answer. after a long moment, he sighed. long chen’s style of handling things was too domineering. but compared to a soft approach, hard things snapped easier. long chen’s character was lacking elasticity.
“alright, then let’s talk about proper things. i’m preparing to send you to get a large sum of money,” said the xuan master.
