Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 326: Greatly Disappointed

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Greatly Disappointed

Elder Yang had no idea that Elder Shoumei had already regained his strength. In his mind, Elder Shoumei was lying on the bed, barely breathing.

"Kick the door open for me!"

Elder Yang instructed a disciple.

Upon receiving the order, Bao Liya immediately volunteered and rushed to where Elder Shoumei was in the Alchemy Room, and fiercely kicked the door.

Boom!

The door of the Alchemy Room was rudely kicked open, breaking into a pile of wood chips.

The door of a lower-grade Alchemy Room had very limited defensive capabilities.

These days, Elder Shoumei had already endured a belly full of frustration and had seen through the true face of Elder Yang. The actions of other elders in the sect further chilled his heart.

And now, someone dared to kick his door, as if they were trying to defile his very presence as an elder.

They had completely disregarded him as an elder.

If that was the case, there was no need for courtesy.

"Scram!"

Just as the door of the Alchemy Room exploded from the kick, an infuriated Elder Shoumei sent out a terrifying sword light.

Boom!

Poor Bao Liya thought that Elder Shoumei was near death, and no disciples under him could match him.

That’s why he was so arrogant, wanting to show off in front of Chu Feng and others.

However, it ended tragically.

He was immediately struck by Elder Shoumei’s fearsome sword light, causing him to spit blood and crash flying out. Even the Treasure Sword in his hand was flung to the ground.

It was only because Elder Yang acted quickly to rescue him in time.

Otherwise, his status as a True Disciple might have ended with him becoming crippled.

A Great Sword Master and a Late Stage Sword Saint are not even in the same league. If Elder Shoumei couldn’t defeat even the lowest ranked True Disciple, then living over 1300 years would have been in vain.

"Are you, are you alright?" Elder Yang asked fearfully, looking at the fiercely approaching Elder Shoumei holding a sword. He felt deeply disappointed.

Bao Liya glared bitterly at Elder Shoumei, struggling to get up.

"Just as you wished, I’m barely clinging to life. So, it would be wise not to provoke me, or else, I don’t mind bringing a few more down with me," said Elder Shoumei, no longer the kind and friendly man he once was, but rather, his face was stone-cold.

Barefooted, he feared no shoes. With only ten years of life left, he wouldn’t mind dragging Elder Yang down to hell with him.

"Elder Shoumei, you are so cunning, but just because you are powerful doesn’t mean your disciples are too. Just wait, during the sect’s minor competition, I will surely make you lose face."

Elder Yang, watching the greatly changed character of Elder Shoumei, felt a hint of fear in his heart.

He didn’t dare to linger anymore and immediately led his disciples to fly towards the Asking Sword Platform using Sword Control.

Only having flown a few steps, he stopped abruptly, unwilling to let it go, and turned his head to look back at Elder Shoumei.

"When you returned to the sect, you clearly had severe depletion of Qi-Blood and your Divine Soul was damaged. How come in just a few days, your injuries have completely healed?"

"Could it be that that young lad named Chu mixed some powerful elixirs that saved you?"

Elder Yang’s gaze was coldly fixed on Chu Feng.

During the fight for swords in the Sword Tomb, he had indeed witnessed the powerful effects of Chu Feng’s Talismanic Elixir. He truly overpowered everyone present, with no one daring to challenge his edge.

"That is no longer your concern," Elder Shoumei also flew into the sky using Sword Control, leading Chu Feng and others towards the Law Enforcement Hall. Elder Yang, uncertain of Elder Shoumei’s condition, didn’t dare to take the risk.

He was even more worried that Elder Shoumei harbored resentment and might suddenly strike him down.

By then, it won’t just be a matter of losing face.

He immediately turned and ran.

"Detestable! Despite all my meticulous planning, I forgot about Chu Feng’s alchemy skills. Had I known, I would have crippled him beforehand!" Elder Yang was almost certain that it must have been Chu Feng who, by concocting a powerful elixir in secret, saved Elder Shoumei.

He felt extremely annoyed, but regret was futile at this point.

"Master, rest assured. In this sect’s minor competition, your disciple will surely slay Chu Feng at the Asking Sword Platform and eliminate future troubles!" Shangguan Bei said arrogantly.

"Hmm, once you’re on the Asking Sword Platform, show no mercy. Should anything happen, your master will bear the consequences for you. Moreover, you are the genius disciple whom the Sect Master has decreed to be cultivated specially. Even if you kill Chu Feng, no one will say a word; they will only value you more."

A cold killing intent flashed in the eyes of Elder Shoumei.

...

Asking Sword Platform of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was already swarming with people. Almost all disciples of the sect, except the few left to guard the gate, whether they be elders, protectors, stewards, or true disciples...all gathered here.

The sect’s annual minor competition was like the New Year for ordinary people.

All members of the sect would gather at the Asking Sword Platform. Sword Slaves with outstanding performances could transform their status and get promoted to entry-level disciples.

Ordinary disciples could advance to advanced level disciples.

Of course, the most eye-catching and critical event was the battle among the true disciples.

Every year, some true disciples were eliminated, and new ones rose to the position. The competition was fierce and utterly captivating.

Becoming a true disciple not only meant a surge in status but also signified a limitless future, possibly even ascending to the seat of Sect Master.

People like Zang Jianfeng, Prince Jianyun, Han Xiaoying, each one eager and rubbing their hands in anticipation, waiting for the competition to start.

There were seven Respected Elders in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and six were present at the moment.

They each brought their own disciples and were seated at the judges’ panel of the Asking Sword Platform.

"Where’s Elder Shoumei? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? Could it be that he can’t get out of bed?"

The stern-faced Law Enforcement Elder, He Shengwei, whose presence was as daunting as King Yanluo, asked authoritatively. His gaze was sharp as swords.

"He has recovered and should arrive soon!"

Elder Yang’s expression looked somewhat displeased.

"Oh, he’s recovered?" The faces of the elders present slightly changed, each wearing a different expression.

When Elder Shoumei was in trouble, not one of them went to visit or help him. They even condoned Elder Yang, making life difficult for Elder Shoumei by withholding cultivation resources.

Now that he has recovered, everyone has to see each other frequently, and it certainly wouldn’t look good.

swoosh!

A sword light flew through the sky, steadily landing on the Asking Sword Platform.

The imposing aura of Elder Shoumei enveloped the entire platform. This was also a deliberate show of power to let everyone know that Elder Shoumei had fully regained his strength and was once again at the peak of power.

"Elder Shoumei, congratulations!" Elder Zhuang was the first to speak out and offer congratulations.

The other elders also greeted him with smiles, Elder Huang in particular was exceedingly slick in his flattery.

Saying things like he was going to visit Elder Shoumei, but just then something came up at home and he was delayed.

After taking his seat, Chu Feng distinctly sensed a rift between his master and the other elders; it seemed like there was an intentional or unintentional effort to sideline Elder Shoumei, keeping him at a distance.

"Alright, now that all seven Venerable Elders have arrived, let’s cut the chitchat and begin!"

Elder Yang impatiently exclaimed.

He was in no mood to watch Elder Shoumei swagger about; he must allow his disciples to suppress Elder Shoumei’s prestige.
