Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Not-So-Simple Power

Yaoo Yun had not expected that behind the Mad Demon Shi Feng, there would be a background that would compel even Master Mo Yang to desire to become his follower!

On top of that, this person had a penchant for killing and cruelty, committing every imaginable evil. If he truly intended to kill her, given his mysterious background, she feared her death would indeed be in vain.

Kneeling on the ground, Yaoo Yun immediately produced a jade box, raising it above her head and tremblingly spoke toward the figure before her, "Great Lord Shi Feng, this is the Light Flower. Your subordinate wishes to offer up the Light Flower to you! Your subordinate hopes for your forgiveness. Beyond this, whatever you require, your subordinate is willing to dedicate everything!"

The last part of what Yaoo Yun said made it abundantly clear; if Shi Feng spared her, she would give everything she had—including an implicit, yet unmistakably sexual offer of her body.

This was outright seduction in public, for Yaoo Yun knew of a version of Mad Demon Shi Feng who, not only had a bloodthirsty nature but was also infamous for his lewdness.

Yaoo Yun felt, with her beauty, her figure, and her mature charm, if she were willing to offer her body, there were hardly any men in this world who could resist such temptation.

"Yaoo... Yaoo Yun, what are you doing?" Hearing and seeing Yaoo Yun suddenly kneel and beg for forgiveness from Shi Feng, Guild President Qin Yuan was immediately alarmed, realizing something was very wrong and tremulously asked.

Yaoo Yun was an Alchemy Master under his command; if Yaoo Yun made a mistake, he as the president could not escape blame. Perhaps because of Yaoo Yun’s offense toward the mysterious Shi Feng, his own prestigious position as president would be directly stripped away.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate deserves to die! Your subordinate purchased the Light Flower that Sir Shi Feng required! Your subordinate was blind and offensive to Sir Shi Feng!" Yaoo Yun’s face was full of regret and sorrow.

Why had she been so foolish to compete with such a great man, to flaunt her status arrogantly in his face, to speak to him with cold words? Recalling it now, her so-called prestigious status, in the eyes of such a great man whom even a Sixth-stage Alchemist would willingly follow, must be utterly insignificant. Reflecting on it, she found her self-perceived dignified self laughably ridiculous in front of such a person.

If she had known his true status, how much better would it have been to just give him the Light Flower she had bought and gain his favor?

Yaoo Yun lamented internally, but unfortunately, in this world, there was no medicine for regret, and even as an Alchemy Master, she could not concoct one.

After hearing Yaoo Yun’s words, an angry expression suddenly surfaced on Qin Yuan’s old face. Pointing at Yaoo Yun’s head, he shouted loudly, "Yaoo Yun! You! You actually! I have warned you before, we members of the Alchemy Master Guild should always consider the interests of the guild. We must not, under any circumstances, use our status to oppress the customers who come here, yet you, behind my back and abusing your status, snatched away what the customer needed, and even took the Light Flower that Lord Shi Feng required!" By the end, Qin Yuan even showed a look full of disappointment, utterly aggrieved and resentful.

Qin Yuan’s words were an attempt to distance himself from Yaoo Yun’s actions, to declare that he was a president who upheld the interests of the customers and the guild—a righteous leader. Yaoo Yun’s act of seizing Shi Feng’s Light Flower was done against his wishes.

Many Alchemy Masters within the guilds cursed under their breath upon hearing Qin Yuan’s words. They clearly remembered that not long ago, a Martial Artist had taken an interest in the Starlight Stone and was about to purchase it when Qin Yuan, taking advantage of his status as the president of their guild, snatched it away. When the Martial Artist protested, Qin Yuan ordered people to drive him out of the Alchemy Master Guild and even placed him on a blacklist, banning him from setting foot in the Alchemy Master Guild ever again.

At that moment, Qin Yuan immediately turned his face towards Shi Feng and put on a look of helpless regret, sighing deeply as he said, "It was all due to my lack of discipline that I angered such a superior person. I hope you can show great forbearance and not stoop to the level of such people."

After finishing, Qin Yuan’s expression became solemn as he scanned the people gathered from all directions, finally resting his gaze upon Yaoo Yun and coldly commanding, "Now, I, as the president of the Alchemy Master Guild, declare that Yaoo Yun is to be expelled from the Alchemy Master Guild, with enforcement to commence immediately!"

"Ah!" Yaoo Yun’s face turned deathly pale as she heard Qin Yuan’s words. Being expelled from the Alchemy Master Guild under normal circumstances wouldn’t be the end of the world for her as a Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master; even if she no longer stayed within the Alchemy Master Guild, many would still seek her Alchemy and Artifact Refining skills in the future.

Although the Alchemy Master Guild was ostensibly just a group of Alchemy Masters, it had become a transcending Great Force in its own right. Once a member, the Alchemy Masters received a rich supply of resources monthly based on their rank.

But the Guild was also strict in its hierarchy and laws; once you entered the Alchemy Master Guild, you could never betray it. It wasn’t a place where you could come and go as you pleased!

And there was one particular law within the Alchemy Master Guild; if anyone violated the principles of the Guild, they would be expelled, and those who were expelled would have their Alchemy Skills destroyed. This meant using a Secret Technique on the person’s Soul, and if this Secret Technique were applied to Yaoo Yun, she would never again be able to become an Alchemy Master for all eternity.

If an Alchemy Master betrayed the Guild, the consequences would be even more severe, as the Alchemy Master Guild would send out its strong enforcers to execute them!

For Yaoo Yun, the destruction of the Alchemy Skills she had so painstakingly cultivated over many years would leave her a cripple, a fate worse than death. And Qin Yuan, as the head of the local Alchemy Master Guild, absolutely held the power to enforce the laws upon its members.

Qin Yuan was a man with a ruthlessly cruel heart. If Yaoo Yun had offended just anyone, he wouldn’t have bothered with her, but she had to be blind and offend Shi Feng, the man with a mysterious background who even Master Mo Yang willingly served as an attendant.

In order to curry favor with Shi Feng, this mysterious and powerful figure, and to secure his position as president of the Guild, Qin Yuan mercilessly sacrificed Yaoo Yun.

"Ah! No, President! I know I was wrong! I won’t dare do it again! I beg for your forgiveness, President! I beg for your forgiveness! Shi Feng, I was blind! Please spare me! Shi Feng, I am willing to offer everything I have to you!" Yaoo Yun knelt down quickly, her head bowed as she kowtowed and cried out for mercy, not forgetting the rumors about Shi Feng’s lascivious nature.

"Forget it, there’s no need to be so severe," Shi Feng slowly spoke to Qin Yuan, "Just have her hand over the Light Flower and let it be." Having once been Emperor Nine Nether, Shi Feng had heard some things about the laws of the Alchemy Master Guild.

And Shi Feng also knew that the Alchemy Master Guild had evolved up to this day into a being of absolute complexity—a far cry from what it seemed on the surface.
