Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 889 - 880: It turns out to be Mo...
Chapter 889: Chapter 880: It turns out to be Mo...
"A calf that doesn’t fear the tiger, are you from the Ji Family of Nanfeng City, young friend?"
Duan Hao was extremely angered, nearly losing control, but at that moment, Duan Tao stopped him.
While looking at Mo Wangchen, Duan Tao continued with a cold smile, "I once had important matters in Nanfeng City. Which branch of the Ji Family are you from?"
Within the Xuanwu Alliance, the most formidable Ji Family happens to be the one in Nanfeng City.
Lately, upon hearing the name Ji Changkong, Duan Tao also thought the person was a descendant of the Ji Family in Nanfeng City.
Even the Ji Family patriarch, upon meeting me, is courteous and respectful, not daring to be negligent.
Yet a junior from the Ji Family is disrespecting me here, making me quite displeased.
"You might have misunderstood; I have no relation to the Ji Family in Nanfeng City."
Mo Wangchen shook his head and replied, his tone still indifferent. Why does everyone think he’s a member of the Ji Family from Nanfeng City?
It’s just a false name I’ve used!
"Not from the Ji Family?"
Duan Tao was taken aback, surprised, and he scrutinized Mo Wangchen for a long while before continuing, "If that’s the case, I don’t need to show any face to the Ji Family. Hand over the Essence Blood."
"And the reason?"
Mo Wangchen felt amused. Kunpeng Essence Blood was ownerless, and now that it’s in his hands, what right does Duan Tao have to demand it?
"If you’re not foolish, you should know the weight my Duan Family holds within the Xuanwu Alliance. Moreover, this is the Alchemist Alliance; I have connections with Master Zhang. If you wish to continue participating in the examination..."
"Oh?"
Before Duan Tao could finish, Mo Wangchen interrupted him, "Your plan is to have Master Zhang revoke my examination qualification?"
"Smart man!"
Duan Tao sneered and continued, "I think even disregarding my Half-Step Saint Rank Alchemy Dao skill, as a Duan Family Elder, Master Zhang would still grant this favor."
Hearing this, Mo Wangchen immediately frowned.
He had changed his name and appearance; naturally, Zhang Mingyuan wouldn’t recognize him.
Perhaps just one word from Duan Tao could indeed revoke his examination qualification.
If unable to join the Alchemist Alliance and receive protection, moving within the Xuanwu Alliance wouldn’t be easy.
At least, before entering the Xuan Emperor City and using the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array there, joining the Alchemist Alliance is necessary.
Additionally, he heard that ordinary people couldn’t access the Cross-Domain Array. Only by strong entities like the Alchemist Alliance, Sacred Land, or Ancient Martial Family could one use it.
"It seems, when necessary, I must reveal my true identity to Zhang Mingyuan..."
Mo Wangchen chuckled bitterly inside; this was not the result he wanted, still feeling Zhang Mingyuan’s reliability was questionable.
"This is the Elder of the Duan Family, Master Duan Tao, right?"
"Who is so blind to dare offend him?"
By now, what’s happening here had already attracted all the people on the second floor of the Pill Tower.
"Master Duan Tao is at Half-Step Saint Rank. He is well-prepared for this examination, with a high probability to advance to Quasi-Saint Rank Pill Master. Once entered in the Alchemist Alliance, he would definitely be among the upper echelons. Yet someone dares to offend him!"
"That young man in white seems to be the famous Ji Changkong!" someone suddenly said.
"He’s Ji Changkong?"
"The Ji Changkong who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Fang Family’s Fang Han? It’s said among the young alchemy talents of the Xuanwu Alliance, Ji Changkong and Fang Han are those who might catch up with Brother Kong!"
The crowd was astonished, discussing eagerly. No wonder there was conflict with Duan Tao; Ji Changkong’s name has been frequently heard recently.
Ninth Grade Mortal level alchemy skill might not be significant in the entire Xuanwu Alliance, but for someone in his twenties to achieve such success represents a different concept.
Unarguably, achieving such a alchemical skill at this young age promises significant potential for future achievements, possibly even reaching Holy Rank Third Grade or Fourth Grade Alchemist!
"It’s like Ji Changkong took something from Master Duan Tao?"
"Despite being a talent with endless potential, Master Duan Tao remains a predecessor at the forefront of alchemy within the Xuanwu Alliance. Ji Changkong publicly disrespects such a predecessor, showing a poor character."
Some evaluated Mo Wangchen, believing he shouldn’t act this way. In the Cultivation World, hierarchy is important, particularly in the Alchemy Dao Realm.
However, against the crowd’s pointing and gossiping, Mo Wangchen was completely indifferent. He looked at Duan Tao and spoke calmly, "If you can indeed have Master Zhang revoke my examination qualification, feel free to go and find him."
Mo Wangchen had long prepared to reveal everything, yet not in this public setting.
"Good! Very good!"
Duan Tao laughed in extreme anger. When did any junior dare treat him like this?
But before he could act, a confused voice from the crowd behind asked, "Why are voices raised here?"
Everyone turned to see a young man frowning, walking in this direction. Who else could it be if not Kong Chu?
"Master Kong Chu!"
"He’s Master Zhang’s direct disciple Kong Chu? So young, yet already possessing Holy Rank First Grade skill!"
Those surrounding were amazed, with evidenced respect in their eyes, as most present held the identity of Alchemists.
To have reached Holy Rank First Grade at such a young age within the Xuanwu Alliance over millennia is exceedingly rare.
"Ah, it’s Master Kong Chu, I’m Elder Duan Tao of the Duan Family. Do you remember me, Master Kong Chu?"
Duan Tao smiled a bit nervously, walking forward. Apparently, even with his status, he restrained his supposed arrogance before Kong Chu.
This was not solely due to Kong Chu’s alchemical potential; it was largely because Kong Chu’s current skill surpassed his own.
"Duan Tao?"
Kong Chu was momentarily taken aback but soon smiled, "Elder Duan Tao, of course I remember. What’s the matter here? Has someone offended you?"
"It’s not a big issue, just some ungrateful..." freēwēbnovel.com
Seeing that Kong Chu recognized him, Duan Tao felt a sense of being flattered.
But before he could finish speaking, Mo Wangchen had already walked over, "Brother Kong, long time no see."
In his speech, Mo Wangchen seemed extremely familiar, grasping Kong Chu’s hand.
"You are...?"
Kong Chu was puzzled, as he didn’t recognize the young man in white, though the man claimed to know him.
"It’s me, Ji Changkong!"
Mo Wangchen blinked, seemingly conveying a deeper meaning.
"Ji Changkong?"
Kong Chu was further confused, searching his memory but finding nothing related to this name.
"It seems Brother Kong really forgets things easily. The time at the auction when I borrowed five million Immortal Stones from you, surely you remember?" Mo Wangchen smiled again, winking at Kong Chu.
"Five million Immortal Stones!"
This time, Kong Chu’s heart skipped a beat, recalling something.
Not long ago, he had indeed lent five million Immortal Stones to someone at Qingyuan Auction in Yang City.
That person was none other than Mo Wangchen.
After a brief period of contemplation, Kong Chu understood what was happening. Perhaps Mo Wangchen didn’t want anyone to know his whereabouts, so he disguised himself, even changing his appearance.
"Turns out it’s Mo... Brother Ji!" He was overjoyed, previously regretting Mo Wangchen hadn’t entered the city with him. Unexpectedly, he met him here today.
Moreover, the name Ji Changkong, during these days, Kong Chu had heard quite often.
Unexpectedly, this recently emerged dark horse in the Alchemy Dao Realm was indeed the concealed Mo Wangchen!
"I mentioned the name, yet Brother Kong didn’t remember; once I mentioned owing you Immortal Stones, you recalled," Mo Wangchen grinned, not forgetting a jibe.
"Uh..."
Kong Chu felt embarrassed, unsure what to say, then quickly gathered himself, "Brother Ji, what happened earlier? Did someone offend you?"
As he spoke, Kong Chu frowned, turning his gaze to the somewhat dumbfounded Duan Tao, his face turning displeased.
