Chapter 3981 Ling Xiao Sect’s Plot

In the Middle-aged Man's view, he had completely caught the other party off guard, and they wouldn't have any defenses.

And reality was just that; even when he appeared before Ye Bufan, Xuan Yuan Linglong didn't have time to react.

A cold smile curled at his lips as he reached out to grab the other party's neck.

Seeing the other party motionless, as if scared senseless, he grew even more delighted, and he grabbed Ye Bufan's neck.

"Don't move, or I'll twist his neck right now…"

The Middle-aged Man let out a loud roar, but it stopped abruptly halfway through.

He found that even though he had gripped the other party's neck, it was like grasping a bronze wall and iron fortress; he couldn't move it an inch.

Even with his Immortal Essence furiously circulating, it was still the same.

"You…"

Looking at the Young man before him, seeing the mocking smile on his lips, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

This man was no weakling; he was a hidden super expert.

After understanding this, he turned to flee, but his neck was completely clamped by a large hand like an iron pincer.

"Originally, by telling me that piece of information, I intended to let you go, but since you insisted on seeking death, I'll send you on your way!"

As soon as his voice fell, a crack sounded in his ear; his neck was completely twisted, and his Primordial Spirit, as soon as it overflowed, was collected into the Demon Refining Bottle above his head.

Then a flame popped out, turning the corpse into ashes.

Xuan Yuan Linglong said, "Ye Dage, is what he said true? Will Fairy Hua be in danger?"

Ye Bufan nodded, "It should be true. It's unlikely he would fabricate rumors at this moment."

He felt that under those circumstances, the other party couldn't have fabricated such a rumor; it should be true.

Xuan Yuan Linglong said, "Then could the direction he pointed be wrong? Could he be deceiving us?"

Ye Bufan said, "All his energy was focused on me, trying to launch a sneak attack. He wouldn't have been distracted to lie at that time, so the direction won't be false."

Shen Qiyun said, "That's quite a coincidence; this direction happens to be where we're going."

"Hua Qiqi is an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist, so she's most likely heading to the Alchemist Guild, which is also where we're going, so it's conveniently on the way."

Ye Bufan said, "No matter what, we are friends now, and we should go check the situation.

How about this, you all return to the Dragon King Palace first; it's more convenient for me to act alone."

After speaking, he sent everyone back to the Dragon King Palace, restrained his Qi, concealed his whereabouts, and rapidly pursued forward.

Since the opponent was an Immortal Emperor middle stage and above expert, it would be easier for others to be discovered if they followed, so it was more convenient for him to go alone.

After all, the Chaotic Immortal Art is Heaven-Defying; as long as he didn't expose himself, even an Immortal Emperor Late Stage expert would find it difficult to discover him.

Lingxiao Immortal City is the stronghold of the Lingxiao Sect, one of the Five Great Sects in the Upper Heaven Domain, and also the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.

At this moment, Hua Qiqi had pushed her speed to the extreme, rushing rapidly towards Lingxiao Immortal City.

The Upper Heaven Domain was simply too vast; even with her strength, it would take three days to return to the Alchemist Guild.

After only four or five hours of travel, a figure suddenly flashed before her eyes, and a Middle-aged Man with a black robe and long beard suddenly blocked her path.

"Fairy Hua, please wait. I am Shi Kai, and I have something I wish to discuss with you."

The Middle-aged Man's voice was loud, his demeanor elegant, and he held a paper fan in his hand, appearing refined and extremely scholarly.

"Shi Kai, why is it you? What are you doing here?"

Hua Qiqi recognized the man before her, but her expression grew even colder.

"I'm here to discuss the previous matter with Fairy Hua again."

Shi Kai fanned himself with the paper fan, "I represent the Lingxiao Sect. The Sect Leader has made it very clear that as long as Fairy Hua agrees to our conditions, we can cooperate pleasantly.

At that time, our Sect will support you to ascend, making you the next president of the Alchemist Guild…"

"That's impossible."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Hua Qiqi interrupted with a gesture, her face full of disgust.

"Since its establishment, the Alchemist Guild has had its own rules, never participating in the conflicts of the various Great Sects, always maintaining its neutral position.

Whether it's me serving as president or anyone else, we will not cooperate with your Lingxiao Sect."

Shi Kai smiled slightly, "Rules are made by people, and what is made by people can be changed by people. Before was before, now is now.

As long as we cooperate, you can immediately become the president.

And our Lingxiao Sect, with the support of the Alchemist Guild, can also leap to become the head of the Five Great Sects, or even unify the Upper Heaven Domain.

Since it benefits both of us, why would Fairy Hua refuse such a cooperation condition?"

"Stop dreaming!"

Hua Qiqi's expression was cold. "I'll say it again: even if I want to be president, it's for the future of the Alchemist Guild, never for personal gain, so you can give up on that idea."

"It seems Fairy Hua is still unwilling to see reason!"

Shi Kai shook his head, his face full of regret, extremely displeased with this decision. "Have you thought it through? You're not the only successor to the Alchemist Guild's president.

Our Sect Master appreciates you as a talent, the youngest Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist, with boundless prospects for the future, which is why he wants to cooperate with Fairy.

But appreciation is appreciation, and respect is respect. If Fairy Hua remains stubborn, then we can only find someone else.

With the strength of our Lingxiao Sect, even others can be supported to the position of president, and they would be more obedient in comparison.

I advise Fairy Hua to consider it carefully. Opportunity knocks but once.

Now that the old president is seriously ill, the successor's identity will soon be determined. Once you miss this chance, you will regret it deeply and pay a heavy price."

Hua Qiqi was filled with indignation: "Then I also advise you, give up on that idea! The Alchemist Guild is not something anyone can control at will, otherwise, it wouldn't have been passed down for so many years!"

"Why, Fairy Hua? This old man truly doesn't want to ruthlessly destroy a flower, but if you continue to be so stubborn, then I can't be blamed."

As he spoke, the smile on Shi Kai's face vanished, replaced by an overwhelming Killing Intent.

Hua Qiqi's expression changed: "What are you doing? Are you going to attack me? If this gets out, can your Lingxiao Sect bear the consequences?"

Shi Kai smiled coldly: "You are the old president's most valued Disciple, and the most talented Immortal Pill Master in the Alchemist Guild. Since you won't cooperate with us, then you must be eliminated quickly, otherwise, how can others ascend to power?

As for the consequences, you just said it, such things need to be spread to matter, but you no longer have that opportunity.

This old man has been following you all the way. The reason I chose this place is for safety; for hundreds of miles around, it's desolate and uninhabited. No one will know if I kill you here.

So I ask you one more time, will you agree or not?

Make a contract with my Lingxiao Sect, and you will be the president; otherwise, today will be your death day!"

"Shameless dog, you want to kill me? You'll have to see if you have the ability!" Hua Qiqi flipped her wrist, and an Immortal Sword appeared in her palm, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
