The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1055 - Chapter 1055 Chapter 1054 Join the Hidden Kill Hall

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1054: Join the Hidden Kill Hall? Chapter 1055: Chapter 1054: Join the Hidden Kill Hall? The situation in the Nine Countries was volatile, and Hidden Kill Hall held it all within its grasp!

This statement revealed the boundless domineering air of the Fire King and emphasized the terrible and profound force of Hidden Kill Hall.

In the entirety of the Nine Countries, where didn’t the people of Hidden Kill Hall exist? Perhaps they were the strangers who brushed past you in the streets, or the vendors you saw every day on the roadside, or even the brothers and friends who stuck with you through life and death, never abandoning you.

They could all potentially be people from Hidden Kill Hall, it was just that they were hidden too deeply to be rooted out.

Fang Lin knew that within the Pill Alliance, there were many covert pawns of Hidden Kill Hall, but he had not expected that even the high-ranks of the Pill Alliance had been infiltrated by Hidden Kill Hall.

This was a big problem.

If even the top echelons were infiltrated by Hidden Kill Hall, then it was hard to predict how deeply the Pill Alliance had been compromised by Hidden Kill Hall.

The Fire King, with a smile on his face, looked at Fang Lin, “Your name has been on the list of Hidden Kill Hall for a long time, and I didn’t pay much attention to you before. But recently, your performance in Sea Moon City and the repeated failures of my Hidden Kill Hall’s assassins have made me realize that you are an extraordinary talent. In these Nine Countries, you have many opponents and enemies, but if you join Hidden Kill Hall, your enemies will become the enemies of Hidden Kill Hall, and we have the power to eliminate anyone who poses a threat to you.”

After hearing this, Fang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of being moved.

“What if I refuse?” Fang Lin asked.

The Fire King nodded and said, “I knew you would refuse, so it’s not a surprise to me, but since I have personally come here, if you don’t agree, there’s only one outcome for you.”

“What outcome?” Fang Lin sneered.

The Fire King looked at Fang Lin, his face void of any expression, as if he was looking at a lifeless corpse.

“There are no living people on the list of Hidden Kill Hall. You have lingered on the list for too long. Today, unless you agree to me, the only option is to erase you from the list,” the Fire King said calmly.

Fang Lin looked indifferent, “You can’t kill me.”

“Oh? You’re so confident? You think you can escape from my hands? In all these years as the Fire King, not a single target has survived under my hand,” the Fire King stated.

Fang Lin was silent, his eyes dark, and his whole being seemed extremely alert.

The Fire King, on the other hand, looked indifferently at Fang Lin and did not rush to act, as if giving Fang Lin time to think and choose.

“Kid, should I take action?” the Old Dried Corpse asked.

Fang Lin grunted in approval in his heart. With the formidable strength of the Fire King, he, Fang Lin, was no match. Although he longed to clash with the strong, it would be pure folly to insist on doing so at this time.

Seeing Fang Lin so composed, the Fire King was somewhat surprised. Did the boy really think so highly of himself? Did he believe that, with the Heavenly Eye open, he could contend with me?

“Fang Lin, do you really want to resist to the death?” the Fire King frowned and asked.

Fang Lin’s expression didn’t change, “Joining Hidden Kill Hall is absolutely impossible, but if you invite me to take the position as the Hall Master of Hidden Kill Hall, I might be somewhat interested. It’s just that I wonder if the people of Hidden Kill Hall would be willing.”

Upon hearing this, the Fire King looked at Fang Lin with a strange expression, “You want to be the Hall Master of Hidden Kill Hall? Do you realize that by saying that, you’ve touched upon a deadly taboo? The position of Hall Master of Hidden Kill Hall is not something that just anyone can lightly mention.”

Fang Lin sneered, “Since you’re not willing, then let’s not waste words. I don’t like being subordinate to others. I might consider the position of Hall Master of Hidden Kill Hall, but anything else is out of the question.”

The Fire King nodded, and suddenly, his hand was on Fang Lin’s shoulder.

“So fast!” Fang Lin’s body stiffened instantly, not having any time to react. He clearly saw the Fire King nodding, but in a flash, the opponent had already reached behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder, leaving him without any reaction.

“Your reaction is too slow; this won’t do,” the Fire King said with a smile.

Fang Lin remained motionless, without any reaction, leaving everything to the Old Dried Corpse to deal with. After all, with his power, dealing with a Fire King should be no problem.

“Kid, this is troublesome, I can’t take action here. This mountain suppresses my power. If I strike, it will suppress both you and me,” the Old Dried Corpse suddenly said, his voice heavy.

Fang Lin was shocked and almost cursed at the Old Dried Corpse in his heart.

You’re setting me up? I’m counting on you to save my life, and now you’re saying you can’t make a move? Aren’t you pushing me into the fire?

The Old Dried Corpse never thought, such a trivial Fire King, he naturally did not regard highly; a slap would suffice to kill him.

But now, the Old Dried Corpse realized the abnormality of this mountain. As soon as he made a move, he would be suppressed by it.

“Kid, just pray for good fortune. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this either,” the Old Dried Corpse said helplessly.

Fang Lin couldn’t help cursing in his heart, but he reacted quickly, hurriedly said, “Wait a moment.”

The Fire King smiled slightly, “What now? Have you thought it through? Are you going to join Hidden Kill Hall?”

Fang Lin slowly turned around, an expression of uncertainty on his face, “If I join Hidden Kill Hall, will you help me kill my enemies?”

The Fire King smiled faintly, “Of course, as I know it, the Ling Family is one of your biggest enemies right now.”

Fang Lin showed a look of surprise, “Hidden Kill Hall can actually make a move against the Ling Family?”

The Fire King snorted, “The mere Ling Family is nothing in the eyes of Hidden Kill Hall. Dealing with the Ling Family is a very simple matter.”

Upon hearing this, in addition to the shock, Fang Lin’s mind was mostly occupied with figuring out how to get rid of this Fire King.

With the Fire King’s great strength and the Old Dried Corpse suppressed by this strange mountain, unable to take action, it seemed the only option was to delay and leave this place to let the Old Dried Corpse make a move.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

While the Sky-Swallowing Fox was engaging the Qin Emperor and a clan of strong enemies, it once again urged the Beast Cauldron, sending a surge of Demon Qi straight towards this mountain.

“Not good!” the Fire King’s expression changed instantly. As powerful as he was, he was also extremely wary of the Sky-Swallowing Fox, and the assault from the Beast Cauldron was enough to completely obliterate him.

Fang Lin’s face turned extremely ugly. This truly was a disaster. Not only was there a deadly Fire King beside him, but now the assault from the Beast Cauldron had arrived.

“Take cover in the mountain!” the Fire King shouted, grabbing hold of Fang Lin and rushing straight into the mountain.

With no escape in sight, the Fire King’s choice was correct. Only by retreating into the mountain could they hope to survive.
