Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 890 - 881 Apology

"This..."

As Kong Chu’s gaze turned his way, Duan Tao’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Judging by the situation, it seems this young man named ’Ji Changkong’ has an unusual relationship with Kong Chu?

Not only Duan Tao, but everyone who had gathered around and was watching also noticed something.

It was obvious, even though Kong Chu and Mo Wangchen were considered peers, anyone could tell.

At this moment in front of Mo Wangchen, Kong Chu seemed slightly restrained.

How could this be possible?

Everyone was extremely surprised at heart, though the name Ji Changkong had been widely spread lately, wasn’t he only at the level of Mortal Rank Ninth Grade in his Alchemy Dao skill?

Compared to a genius like Kong Chu, who had truly stepped into the Holy Rank first grade, Mo Wangchen should still be far behind, right?

But why has the attitude in their interaction completely reversed?

Could it be that this ’Ji Changkong’ has an extraordinary background that no one knows about?

Thinking of this, everyone’s hearts skipped, perhaps this is the only explanation for why Kong Chu appeared somewhat restrained in front of Mo Wangchen.

While everyone remained silent, not far behind Mo Wangchen, Yu Sheng and several other young men who had tried to establish connections with him earlier couldn’t help but exchange glances.

They each saw a look of regret and remorse in the other’s eyes.

Initially, due to the conflict between Mo Wangchen and Duan Tao, they not only chose to remain silent but also distanced themselves from Mo Wangchen.

Little did they expect that the other party’s background would be much larger than Duan Tao’s.

Repairing the barn after losing the sheep—it’s too late. Now even wanting to connect with Mo Wangchen might be impossible.

"Brother Ji, what exactly happened? You can certainly tell me. I once said, if you encounter any trouble, I’ll do my utmost to solve it for you." Kong Chu spoke heavily, his expression extremely earnest.

"Here’s what happened..."

Mo Wangchen smiled, appearing much more relaxed compared to the tension shown by Duan Tao at this moment.

He briefly recounted the events that transpired.

"Essence Blood?"

Kong Chu immediately furrowed his brows. Mo Wangchen only mentioned that he obtained essence blood but didn’t say it was Kunpeng’s essence blood.

But from his description, it was clear that this essence blood was ownerless, and Mo Wangchen obtained it through his capabilities.

Duan Tao still wanted him to hand it over?

How is this different from robbery?

Instantly, a surge of anger appeared on Kong Chu’s face. Naturally, he wouldn’t doubt the truth of Mo Wangchen’s words, especially since this was someone even his master repeatedly urged him to maintain good relations with.

"Master Duan Tao, you’ve gone too far. The essence blood had no owner; although you found it first, since Brother Ji acquired it, it belongs to him. Not only did you force him to hand it over, but you also threatened to revoke his qualification to partake in the assessment?"

Kong Chu’s face turned cold, his gaze piercing Duan Tao. As someone of the Junior Alliance, if he didn’t give Mo Wangchen a fair explanation today, how could the Alchemist Alliance convince the public?

"So that’s how the grudge arose between them."

"Indeed, Master Duan Tao went over the line, but then again, Duan Hao is a master at the Middle Stage of the Void Immortal Realm, yet Ji Changkong could snatch essence blood from his hands. Doesn’t this mean Ji Changkong is at least also at the Middle Stage of the Void Immortal Realm in cultivation?"

"Mortal Rank Ninth Grade Alchemy Dao skill, coupled with Middle Stage Void Immortal Realm cultivation, this kid has... such a terrifying talent!"

The surrounding crowd discussed fervently, and as they once again looked toward Mo Wangchen, an inexplicable sense of awe appeared in their eyes.

Dual mastery in alchemy and martial arts!

The Xuanwu Alliance hasn’t seen such a prodigy for thousands of years, right?

"Master Kong Chu, this..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Facing Kong Chu’s reproach, Duan Tao’s heart skipped a beat.

However, before he could say anything, Kong Chu coldly continued, "Cancel Brother Ji’s examination qualification? Does Master Duan Tao think he can make decisions on behalf of the Alchemist Alliance?"

"Master Kong Chu, I’ve been wronged. How could I dare to make decisions on behalf of the Alchemist Alliance? I was merely rash and blinded by anger." Duan Tao was immediately flustered. Representing the Alchemist Alliance was too big a burden for him to bear.

"Forget it; after all, it’s just a small matter." At this moment, Mo Wangchen stood up, waved his hand, and said.

He didn’t want to make too many enemies, and now that things could be resolved, it was best to let it go.

Yet, in Duan Tao’s view, this was a complete insult to himself. When did it become possible for a junior to point fingers at him here?

However, despite his anger, Duan Tao didn’t dare to oppose in front of Kong Chu.

"Master Duan Tao, Brother Ji has a magnanimous heart, and since he doesn’t wish to pursue this further, I can also pretend this never happened. Now, go apologize to Brother Ji, and this matter will be over." Kong Chu spoke flatly.

Duan Tao gritted his teeth, feeling extremely disgraced inside. To apologize to Mo Wangchen?

"Master Ji, I was reckless earlier, please do not take offense!" Finally, Duan Tao took a deep breath, restrained his inner anger, and emphasized the words ’master’.

"Ha ha, what’s all the excitement about?"

Suddenly, at that moment, a hearty laugh came from the back of the crowd.

The laugh sounded slightly old, yet full of strength, causing a shiver through one’s spirit.

"Master Zhang!"

The crowd’s gaze followed the sound, and Duan Tao was the first to recognize the elderly man approaching them slowly; who else could it be but Zhang Mingyuan?

At this moment, seeing Zhang Mingyuan approaching with a smile on his face, Duan Tao seemed as if he had seen a savior and quickly ran over, not forgetting to glance back at Mo Wangchen with a triumphant look.

"Master Zhang!"

"And you are?" Zhang Mingyuan was taken aback and didn’t recognize Duan Tao at first glance.

"I am Duan Family Elder, Duan Tao. I once received your guidance, and now, having reached Half-Step Saint Rank in my skill, I’ve come to participate in this Alchemist Alliance’s assessment in hopes of joining the alliance." Duan Tao cautiously explained.

"Ha ha, so it’s you. I didn’t recognize you at first sight, please excuse me. I’ve indeed heard that you’re here, and many are saying you are most likely to win first place in the assessment and reach Quasi-Saint Rank skill." Zhang Mingyuan laughed heartily, not forgetting to pat Duan Tao on the shoulder. Though they were of similar age, Duan Tao was no different from a junior in front of him.

"Ah..."

However, after hearing Zhang Mingyuan’s words, Duan Tao pretended to sigh.

"Why the sigh, Master Duan Tao? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhang Mingyuan asked in puzzlement. Duan Tao had a high chance of reaching Quasi-Saint Rank, and after the assessment, he could become part of the Alchemist Alliance’s higher ranks. The alliance naturally wouldn’t want to miss out on such a person.

If indeed there was a problem, Zhang Mingyuan, as the Vice Alliance Hierarch, would step in to solve it.

PS: Here’s today’s first update. Hmm, it seems it’s been a long time since I asked for votes. I hope everyone can give their support once more!
