Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 42 - 42 42 Expressing Regret

42: Chapter 42: Expressing Regret 42: Chapter 42: Expressing Regret “Long Yan tried to kill Bai Tianjun in the Misty Forest but was killed by Bai Tianjun instead.”

Qin Shaoyang casually replied and then turned around and left.

He had been defeated by someone for the first time, so he had to hurry up and practice, defeating Ah Man in the shortest possible time.

Then, Xin Changsheng and Luo Feifei also unreservedly retold the events, making the whole situation quite clear.

Qin Tianshi’s face showed no emotional fluctuations, he just glanced at Long Yan indifferently and then withdrew his gaze.

On the other hand, Qin Wuque’s brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes filled with gravity, seemingly making a very tough decision.

“What, Bai Tianjun was killed?

It was Long Yan who did it?”

“This Long Yan is really audacious, even daring to kill Bai Tianjun.

Doesn’t he know that Bai Tianjun has already become a direct disciple of the Pill King Hall?”

“It’s over, I thought he was a genius, but by killing Bai Tianjun, he is doomed.”

“This guy is too reckless.”

“Sigh, Bai Tianjun was the number one genius alchemist in the Tianwu Dynasty, and now he is dead, what a pity.”

…

Everyone who heard the news was shocked and dismayed.

Some felt pity for Long Yan, while others felt pity for Bai Tianjun, all with faces filled with amazement.

At this moment, Long Yan stood among the crowd, his expression as calm as an ancient well, as if Bai Tianjun’s death had nothing to do with him.

Soon, Bai Tianlong flew back from the Misty Forest, holding Bai Tianjun’s mutilated corpse in his hands.

If it weren’t for his timely arrival, Bai Tianjun’s body might have been devoured by demonic beasts.

Bai Tianlong’s face was gloomy, filled with murderous intent, and his gaze suddenly fell on Xin Changsheng and Luo Feifei: “Tell me, who did it?”

“Bai Tianlong, what do you want to do?”

Xin Chongyang immediately stood up and coldly reprimanded Bai Tianlong.

With Bai Tianjun dead, the Bai Family’s greatest hope was gone, and he no longer had to worry about offending them.

“Bai Tianjun was killed by Long Yan, and it has nothing to do with our two families.

Don’t go too far.”

Luo Yunjiang also stood up, sharing the same thoughts as Xin Chongyang.

The attitudes of Xin Chongyang and Luo Yunjiang subtly flashed a glimmer of light in Qin Tianshi’s eyes.

The balance between the Three Major Families had been disrupted with the emergence of Bai Tianjun, and now that he had been killed, the balance would be restored, which was what Qin Tianshi wanted to see.

“Long Yan.”

Only those two words remained in Bai Tianlong’s eyes, his gaze, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, suddenly shot towards Long Yan, instantly locking onto him amidst the crowd.

“Was it you who killed Jun’er?”

Bai Tianjun had been frustrated by Long Yan twice before, so he had learned a bit about Long Yan, but he hadn’t paid much attention to him because Long Yan had no background to speak of.

He never expected Bai Tianjun to die at the hands of such a person without any background.

In an instant, the crowd automatically cleared a passage, and there wasn’t a single person standing between Long Yan and Bai Tianlong.

Long Yan’s face was calm, his deep eyes were as tranquil as an ancient well, his gaze not dodging at all, facing Bai Tianlong head-on, the corners of his mouth curling up in an playful smile.

“You must be Bai Tianlong.

As for Bai Tianjun’s death, all I can say is that I’m sorry.”

I’m sorry!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened, their faces filled with incredulity.

Long Yan’s words sounded quite roundabout, but from the expression on his face, it was clear that he had no remorse at all.

“All you need to do is admit it, I’ll kill you first, and then destroy the Long Family to bury Jun’er.”

Bai Tianlong’s eyes turned blood-red, erupting with a sky-reaching killing intent.

Then, he slapped the air, and the strong energy formed a palm print with a diameter of ten meters, suppressing Long Yan below.

Ripples appeared in the space.

The power of the Heavenly Martial Realm was formidable, capable of annihilating the Earth Martial Realm with a single move.

Bai Tianlong himself had strength at the Heavenly Martial Fifth Layer, and under his rage, one move was enough to turn Long Yan into a pile of flesh.

Long Yan’s gaze suddenly shrank as he could have avoided Bai Tianlong’s move and even retreated with his whole body.

However, he didn’t escape, because he was betting.

Seeing that the palm print was about to fall, Qin Wuque’s heart was firm, and his eyes rose with a touch of resoluteness.

“Stop!”

Qin Wuque shouted and stood in front of Long Yan.

At the critical moment, Bai Tianlong clenched his five fingers, and the palm print instantly dissipated.

Regardless of how bold he was, he didn’t dare to attack Qin Wuque in front of Qin Tianshi.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by this?”

Bai Tianlong was aggressive, calling Qin Wuque “Crown Prince” without any respect in his tone.

“Bai Family Head, Long Yan is a guardian in my East Palace.

When you attack him in front of me, are you not putting me, the Crown Prince, in your eyes, or are you not putting the Royal Family in your eyes?”

Qin Wuque said.

At these words, the crowd’s expressions varied.

Qin Wuque was trying to protect Long Yan.

Long Yan’s mouth curled up in satisfaction, as he had been waiting for Qin Wuque.

If Qin Wuque had chosen to stand idly by, there would be no more interaction between him and Qin Wuque.

At this time, the happiest person was undoubtedly Qin Wudi.

For the first time, he found Long Yan a little pleasing to the eye.

To become the Crown Prince, he must get rid of Qin Wuque, which is the struggle between the two major factions.

All along, the struggle for the East Palace has seen the Three Major Families maintaining neutrality.

Whoever gains their support seizes the winning card.

Qin Wuque defending Long Yan completely offends the Bai Family.

Naturally, the Bai Family stands against Qin Wuque and joins Qin Wudi’s camp.

Qin Tianshi saw everything but remained calm.

“Qin Wuque, I don’t want to hurt you, but don’t push me.”

Bai Tianlong’s tone was very cold, addressing Qin Wuque by his name directly, making it clear that he didn’t intend to give Qin Wuque any face.

“Impudent!”

Qin Wuque scolded: “Bai Tianlong, do you want to commit the crime of rebellion?”

Rebellion is a serious crime.

The lighter punishment is decapitation, while the more severe punishment is execution for the entire family.

“I dare not rebel, but Long Yan killed my son.

He must die.”

As Bai Tianlong’s attitude was extremely adamant, he would not rest until Long Yan was killed.

“Family Head Bai, don’t forget that this is the hunting competition.

Life and death are predestined after entering the Misty Forest, and wealth and rank are granted by the heavens.

This is the rule set by the Emperor himself.

Do you want to go against the Emperor’s will?”

Qin Wuque directly brought up the previous Emperor and immediately placed a rebellious charge on Bai Tianlong’s head.

“This…

”

The color of Bai Tianlong’s face darkened, and he didn’t expect Qin Wuque to confront him for the sake of a True Martial Realm, even going so far as to involve the old Emperor.

“No matter what, I must kill him.”

Even so, he remained determined to kill Long Yan.

“In that case, you’ll have to step over my dead body.”

Qin Wuque’s attitude was also hardened, as he was now going all out, sparing no cost to protect Long Yan.

Bai Tianlong grew increasingly aggressive as Qin Wuque refused to yield, the atmosphere incredibly tense.

“Enough!”

Just when the stalemate between the two seemed never-ending, Qin Tianshi finally spoke.

A momentum brushed past, suppressing Bai Tianlong’s aura.

“Long Yan, do you admit your guilt?”

Qin Tianshi spoke indifferently, and an intangible aura enveloped Long Yan.

“What guilt do I have?”

Long Yan’s face remained calm, and the oppressive aura had no effect on him, his tone not the least bit disturbed.
