The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Heading to the Ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect

Han Luoyun smiled, “But the fact remains that Fang Lin defeated Li Guanxin. No matter what you say, you can’t change this fact.”

“Exactly, since Li Guanxin lost to Fang Lin, he can no longer be the official participant. Fang Lin will take his place,” Yang Jianye said, leaving no room for Li Zhendong to dispute.

Li Zhendong was practically infuriated. What on earth was going on? They hadn’t even set out yet and Li Guanxin’s position as the official participant was already lost.

Li Guanxin, still lying on the ground, also felt extreme anger and primarily indignation. If Fang Lin hadn’t used poison, he was confident that he could defeat him.

“Since the Li Family has no one to compete in the Tri-Nation Tournament, there is no need for them to accompany us to the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect. If you want to watch the tournament, just go by yourselves,” Yang Jianye declared rather rudely.

These words caused embarrassment to all the Li family members present. Everyone was infuriated and discontent, but more than that, they felt powerless.

This time, the Li family had seriously embarrassed themselves. Since the Li family had become one of the hegemonic powers of Qian Country, they had never been this humiliated. It was a disgrace from top to bottom, and everyone in the family found it hard to show face.

“Hahahaha! The Li family should just scurry back home.”

“So embarrassing, not even holding a spot in the official selection.”

“Why go to the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect? Better to go home and raise pigs.”

…

Everyone present burst into ridicule towards the Li family members, who were helpless to respond. At this moment, they only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible; every extra moment here was mental torture for them.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t leave just yet. Li Guanxin still lay there nearly lifeless, and they had to wait until the matter was settled before they could leave.

A few hours later, Han Luoyun received news that the Purple Mist Sect had taken in Fang Lin’s parents, who were unharmed apart from a slight fright, and had been well settled at the Purple Mist Sect.

With a face like dark water, Li Zhendong said to Fang Lin, “Your family is safe now. It’s your turn.”

Fang Lin nodded, walked up to Li Guanxin, and drew out a dagger.

“What are you trying to do?” Li Zhendong immediately became alert and tried to stop Fang Lin.

Fang Lin gave him a look. “I’m removing the poison from him. Do you want him to die?”

Li Zhendong’s face twitched. You draw out a dagger and say you’re removing poison? Who would believe that?

Fang Lin said impatiently, “If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago. Why would I go through all this trouble in front of everyone?”

Li Zhendong gritted his teeth, wishing he could crush Fang Lin with one palm. But reason told him to endure.

So, Li Zhendong backed off a few steps, giving room but keeping a close eye on Fang Lin, ready to save Li Guanxin at any moment.

Fang Lin, holding the dagger, walked up to Li Guanxin. Li Guanxin stared at him, his eyes full of hatred and malice.

“Don’t look at me like that. You already lost to me,” Fang Lin said with a smirk. He almost made Li Guanxin spit blood in anger.

With that, Fang Lin wasted no more time. He squatted down and made a small cut on each of Li Guanxin’s wrists.

Li Zhendong watched, his heart in his throat, fearing that Fang Lin might pull a trick.

After making the cuts, Fang Lin made no further moves and put the dagger back into his bag.

“That’s it?” Li Zhendong’s brow furrowed, feeling as if he had been fooled.

Everyone watched Li Guanxin, who had clotted blood oozing from the cuts on his wrists.

After a while, the clotted blood stopped oozing, replaced by fresh blood.

Meanwhile, Li Guanxin’s face improved slightly. He looked extremely weak but showed some signs of recovery.

“Alright, he is not going to die now. We should get on the road,” Fang Lin said with a smile.

Li Guanxin struggled to get up from the ground, staggering and hardly able to stand firm. His eyes were fixed on Fang Lin.

“I want a rematch!” Li Guanxin roared with anger and resentment.

Fang Lin glanced at him, “Look at yourself. What are you going to fight with? Better hurry back and recover from your illness. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the poison is not completely gone. In the next few days, you should experience stomach ache and diarrhea. Several visits to the toilet and you’ll be fine.”

“What?” Upon hearing this, Li Guanxin was shocked. He was going to have after-effects?

Li Zhendong also nearly cursed out loud, angrily saying, “Then get rid of all the poison now, no tricks!”

Fang Lin shrugged, “That’s how the poison works. The remaining part can only be expelled by him himself.”

Li Guanxin wanted to say something when he suddenly felt a churn in his stomach, followed by a gurgling sound.

Li Guanxin’s face turned ugly. He involuntarily clamped his legs together, holding back so much that he couldn’t even speak.

At a glance, Li Zhendong knew this was the after effect that Fang Lin mentioned.

“Quick, quick, quick. Take this Li family genius to the toilet,” Yang Jianye hastily said, grinning.

…

In the end, the royal family and members of the Purple Mist Sect boarded the golden flying boat and headed towards the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect, while the members of the Li family left the imperial city in disgrace.

It was too humiliating. Without an official participant, it was pointless for the Li family to go to the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect.

Word of this series of events spread rapidly. The entire Qian Country knew that the Li family had embarrassed themselves to the extreme. The primo talent of the dignified Li family, Li Guanxin, had his official participant spot snatched by Fang Lin, and he was nearly killed by Fang Lin.

Suddenly, the Li family became the subject of ridicule. Whenever someone mentioned the Li family, they would first laugh for a while.

At any rate, the Li family had lost face completely, and there was no way to recover. Every member of the Li family was exceptionally angry, wanting to kill those who ridiculed the Li family.

Unfortunately, everyone in the Qian Country was laughing at them. How could it be possible to get rid of them all?

As for the Tri-Nation Tournament, the Li family had no thoughts of attending at all. Did they still not find the embarrassment sufficient?

Meanwhile, the royal family and members of the Purple Mist Sect were riding the flying boat, heading straight out of Qian Country towards the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect.

Han Xiaoxing still hadn’t caught up, but it seemed that she and some other members of the Purple Mist Sect were heading to the Virtual Sky Sect on the Purple Mist Sect’s flying boat. Therefore, Yang Jianye and the others didn’t worry much, as long as she didn’t delay the major affair, a late arrival didn’t matter.

The Virtual Sky Sect was far away from the Qian Country, and even with the fast-flying boat, it took them a good ten days to see a stretch of continuous mountains.

Below is the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect,” Han Luoyun pointed to the continuous mountains beneath and said to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin nodded, he was finally going to face the strongest talents of Meng Kingdom and Yun Country. He couldn’t help feeling a little excited.

“Hmm? It seems they arrived earlier,” Yang Jianye concentrated and seemed to have spotted the people from Meng Kingdom and Yun Country.
