Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Vine Emperor(1)_1

Dugu Qianye looked at Bei Wuchang’s expression, laughed, and took out a few explosives to give to him, saying, "If my Master Uncle likes them, I should certainly offer them up. It’s just that there are only a few left now. I’ll give you some more when I make them later."

"Haha, excellent, excellent!" Bei Wuchang held onto the explosives, left one out, and put away the rest. Then, as Dugu Qianye instructed, he scraped off the wax on the fuse, lit it, and using his Spiritual Power, threw it towards a distant mountaintop.

"Boom—" The explosive detonated on the mountaintop, scattering rocks in all directions, and the blast was so powerful that it blew off the top of the opposite mountain, causing their own side to shake a few times.

"Oh my, that’s incredible!" Bei Wuchang said, astonished by the destruction across the way, and then burst out laughing again, "Haha, this is great. Next time I go to the west, I’m going to drop these right on their heads, haha, make those old immortals die faster!"

Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou were startled by Bei Wuchang’s excited reaction. Was it really that exhilarating? Only Hei Wuchang, who was used to such behavior, nodded and said, "This could work."

Uh, Dugu Qianye really wanted to ask: who had such a big grudge against you that you’re planning to bomb their stronghold to smithereens?

"Haha, Qianye, when you get back, help me make more of these, um, the more the better!" Bei Wuchang said. "By the way, why did you guys wipe out the Feng Family? Who provoked you?"

Dugu Qianye explained the grudges between herself and the Feng Family, and discussed matters involving both the Xuanyue and Yuling Continents. Hearing it, Bei Wuchang shook his head in disbelief.

"Domineering. If they offend you, you wipe them out," Bei Wuchang commented. "But the Feng Family is currently searching for you guys with all their might, and they have released statements suggesting that the Mo Family was involved in this affair."

"What are they saying?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"The prevailing rumor is that the Feng Family was wiped out due to internal disputes in the lower realm, then they captured a few people. But it’s said that the Mo Family joined forces with you all and went to Wulai City to annihilate the Feng Family’s branch there. Now, on one hand, they’re searching everywhere for you, and on the other hand, they’re putting pressure on the Mo Family to give an explanation," Bei Wuchang said.

"The Divine Temple has also involved itself, stating that you first murdered the Divine Temple Guardian Squad in Songgu City, challenging the authority of the Divine Temple, and afterwards, without regard for the order of the Continent, you went on to wipe out a branch of the Feng Family. You are betrayers of the gods, and the Divine Temple has ordered all of its branches to hunt you down. Once found, there will be no mercy!" Hei Wuchang added.

Having heard this, Dugu Qianye exchanged glances with Zi Xiao and the others, smiled, and said, "I didn’t expect the Divine Temple to get involved too. Tsk tsk, we certainly are in a tough spot now."

"You look unfazed. Do you have some kind of plan?" Bei Wuchang asked.

"Cough cough, to be honest, there’s no plan. We’re just playing it by ear. If all else fails, we could just change our identities like we did before," Dugu Qianye replied, "In any case, we’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. I believe there will be a way out when we reach the mountain."

Both Black and White Impermanence looked at her appreciatively, composed and unruffled despite knowing that two powerful forces were searching for them.

"Do you know who we are?" Hei Wuchang inquired.

"The Grand Master Uncle and Second Master Uncle," Dugu Qianye replied.

Hao Pengyou was amused by Dugu Qianye’s response, not expecting her to be this confused at times, and said, "The Grand Master Uncle and Second Master Uncle are the President and Vice President of the East Continent Alchemist Guild!"

"Ah?" Dugu Qianye had not expected them to actually be the President of the East Continent Alchemist Guild. She knew her master was the President of the Spirit Void Continent Spiritual Master Association, but she didn’t expect that both of her senior apprentice brothers were Presidents of the Alchemist Guild.

"How come what you’re learning is different?" Dugu Qianye asked, shouldn’t a master teach the same things?

"Since we’re all heading to the Wuwang Mountain Range, we’ll have plenty of time to talk about it on the way," Bei Wuchang said.

"Okay," Dugu Qianye nodded, and asked Lan Mei to Transform, taking everyone flying toward the Wuwang Mountain Range.

Dugu Qianye and his companions flew towards Wuwang Mountain; on the way, Bei Wuchang spoke of their relationship with Shi Honggui, as well as the purpose of their trip to Wuwang Mountain.

It turned out that Shi Honggui and Black and White Impermanence’s master was not from this continent but a remarkable individual from a higher plane who was skilled in formations, alchemy, and artifact refining. After taking on several disciples who had since completed their training, he went out to venture on his own. Now, not only the three of them but also other disciples were quite powerful, and the ones he took on later were all among the best.

"Your master grandfather forbade us to casually mention his name; if there’s a chance, I’ll take you to meet him," Bei Wuchang said.

"Then Uncle-master, what are you doing at Wuwang Mountain?" Dugu Qianye asked.

At this, Bei Wuchang became visibly frustrated and said, "Isn’t it because that old immortal wants to hold some sort of competition to decide who will become the head of the main union? We need to find some medicinal herbs."

"Old immortal?" Dugu Qianye asked, "What’s going on?"

"I won’t say; it annoys me just to talk about it. Let Hei Lao’er tell you," Bei Wuchang said.

Hei Wuchang took over the conversation and said, "The Alchemist Guild on the Yuling Continent originally had only one, which is the Main Union of the East Continent. But over the past hundred years, the guild on the West Continent has been clamoring to break away, not recognizing our Main Union and even wanting us to acknowledge theirs as the Main Union."

"That is to say, a vassal country is trying to seize power," Dugu Qianye said.

Hei Wuchang nodded, it could be taken that way.

"Then what’s this competition all about?" Hao Pengyou asked.

Hei Wuchang sighed and said, "The West Continent has produced a Ninth Grade alchemist, so they claim they are the Main Union. However, since they are a split-off, they cannot directly establish themselves, so they organized an alchemy competition. Alchemists from both sides will participate, and the side that produces a higher-level elixir will be the Main Union. We came here to find some rare medicinal ingredients to prepare for the competition."

Dugu Qianye understood, meaning that whoever’s elixir was of a higher grade would be the boss. "Uncle-master, between you and the West Continent, who has a higher alchemy level?"

"Both Bei Lao’er and I can only refine Ninth Grade Primary Level elixirs. It’s said that the person from the West Continent can refine Ninth Grade Intermediate Level. Moreover, elder-level individuals cannot participate," Hei Wuchang said.

"Aside from the two of you, what’s the highest grade achievable?" Hao Pengyou continued to ask.

"Eighth Grade Intermediate Level."

"Pfft, both of you can’t participate, and the highest we have is only Eighth Grade. Tsk tsk, Uncle-master, it looks like you’re going to be in a terrible plight!" lying on Lan Mei’s back, Hao Pengyou supported his head with his right hand and said.

Bei Wuchang, who was already agitated to speak of this matter, now faced with Hao Pengyou’s words, kicked out towards him.

Hao Pengyou rolled over, avoiding Bei Wuchang’s shadowless kick, and asked, "Is there an age limit?"

"There isn’t; as long as one is an alchemist, they can participate. It’s just necessary to make clear which side they represent," Hei Wuchang said.

"Heh heh, then you all should thank me, tsk tsk, I’ve brought you a helper, haha!" Hao Pengyou said.

"Who?" Bei Wuchang hurried over to ask.
