Chapter 466: Lu Yueshan’s Challenge

"Challenge me?" Xiao Fan paused, looking at Lu Yueshan as if she were an idiot.

He genuinely felt that she was sick in the head…

Why would she come to challenge him for no reason? Why should he fulfill her demands?

The group of Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciples were also furious at this moment…

Especially the few who had spoken up to help Lu Yueshan inside the Black Tower; clearly, they did not believe that Xiao Fan could have obtained first place based on his own strength.

Moreover, he actually claimed to have refined a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill… They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

"Brat, I told you before, if you leave the Sacred Pill Tower, I will make you pay." A Piaomiao Disciple at the 7th stage of the Tongtian Realm said coldly: "I want to challenge you to a life-or-death battle. Do you dare?"

This person was Zhou Hu, who had threatened to teach Xiao Fan a lesson after coming out of the Black Tower.

"That's right, and me too…" At this moment, another Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple at the 6th stage of the Tongtian Realm spoke up: "I, Dou Shiping, also want to challenge you. Do you dare to accept!"

Both of these people had previously said they would teach Xiao Fan a lesson once they left the Black Tower.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"If you are in such a rush to die, then it doesn't matter to me."

He didn't mind taking action and teaching these two idiots a lesson.

"Silence." High in the air, City Lord Huangfu Cheng spoke coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over Dou Shiping and Zhou Hu: "You two want to use force to challenge this year's Black Tower first place winner?"

His voice was very cold; with his white hair, he usually had a peaceful state of mind, but he was truly angry now.

Dou Shiping and Zhou Hu were so scared they didn't dare to make a sound, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Huangfu Cheng didn't continue speaking, instead looking at Ling Luo on the side.

Ling Luo looked at Zhou Hu and Dou Shiping expressionlessly and waved his hand, shooting out two fire snakes that struck both of their chests…

"Pfft" "Pfft"…

Zhou Hu and Dou Shiping were struck by the fire snakes, their bodies sent flying back nearly a hundred meters, vomiting blood as terrifying flames ignited on their bodies…

When the two fell heavily to the ground, the flames gradually extinguished, and both were severely injured, losing consciousness.

Ling Luo said expressionlessly: "Offending your superiors deserves punishment."

In Shengdan City, everything is revered based on one's attainments in Alchemy.

Huangfu Cheng didn't act directly because he was mindful of Ling Luo's Face, wanting the latter to handle it.

And as an Elder of Shengdan City, Ling Luo had to step forward at this moment to punish the two.

Zhou Hu and Dou Shiping were severely injured and unconscious; it would likely take several months of recovery for them to heal…

Huangfu Cheng's anger and Ling Luo's action shocked the entire venue.

Even Lu Yueshan was stunned, staring blankly at her Master, unable to understand why he had attacked members of his own Sect.

"Thank you, City Lord, thank you, Elder." Xiao Fan cupped his hands toward Huangfu Cheng and Ling Luo in the air.

Huangfu Cheng was genuinely angry and had stood up for him.

As for Ling Luo, Xiao Fan didn't know; the other party might have genuinely wanted to punish his subordinates, or he might have just been putting on a show.

However, this didn't have much to do with him; since the other party had acted, he still needed to show the proper courtesy.

Huangfu Cheng nodded slightly, his gaze toward Xiao Fan becoming increasingly satisfied.

Ling Luo also nodded, re-evaluating Xiao Fan.

"I, I refuse to accept this. I must challenge you." Lu Yueshan on the side was still unconvinced, feeling that Xiao Fan was inferior to her and that there must have been an issue with the Black Tower, or that Xiao Fan had cheated…

"I want to compete with you in Alchemy, do you dare!" Lu Yueshan continued, she was currently a 3rd Grade Alchemist.

Theoretically, Xiao Fan was currently only a Level 2 Alchemist.

Huangfu Cheng frowned, but this time he didn't say anything… At the same time, he was also somewhat curious if Xiao Fan could truly refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill and had reached the level of a Grade 4 Alchemist.

Ling Luo was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Yueshan, don't be ridiculous." He did not stop her directly.

Kong Ping didn't speak, while Jiang Rushuang and Pill Master Lu Yongzhen were in the mood to watch a good show, and they also wanted to see if Xiao Fan had truly reached the attainments of a Grade 4 Alchemist.

"You coward, a grown man, I, a woman, am challenging you, and you actually dare not accept!" Lu Yueshan saw that her Master's tone wasn't very firm, so she knew there was a chance.

She kept mocking and provoking Xiao Fan, trying to get him to compete in Alchemy with her.

"Coward, do you dare to compete with me in the Dao of Alchemy."

"If you don't dare, then admit defeat… and openly acknowledge that you are inferior to me."

"…"

All around, the people discussing it started talking heatedly again…

"Why do you think this youth from the Jixian Sect won't agree? Could he have really cheated?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could the Sacred Pill Tower make a mistake… I reckon he just doesn't want to lower himself to this woman's level."

"Do you think this person can really refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill?"

"…"

A few black lines appeared on Xiao Fan's forehead. Being provoked like this by a woman in her twenties in front of everyone, he was starting to lose his patience.

Especially with everyone in the venue discussing him, and even a few people whispering that he was a coward.

At the Jixian Sect, Long Caiwei was furious and wanted to rush over to fight Lu Yueshan…

But she was grabbed by Jiang Yushan… who didn't let her act impulsively.

Jiang Yushan was also curious if Xiao Fan could really refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill.

"I can agree to it, but…" Xiao Fan looked at Lu Yueshan: "What about the wager? You just open your mouth and challenge me, and I just accept? With no wager at all, why should I?"
