The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1143 - Chapter 1143 1142 Chapter The Black Sheep

Chapter 1143: 1142 Chapter: The Black Sheep Chapter 1143: 1142 Chapter: The Black Sheep “Do I need to slander them? Who doesn’t know the true colors of Poison Pill Masters? From ancient times to the present, these guys have committed countless evil deeds. Even now, the Pill Alliance gives these guys a sanctuary, but there’s a saying that goes, ‘a dog can’t change its spots.'” Fang Lin said indifferently, his words even sharper, laying into the Poison Pill Masters without mercy.

The man in black robes and others were so angry they were shaking. As Poison Pill Masters, since joining the Pill Alliance, although they were not very well-received, they still had a good opinion of themselves, thinking that with their official status as Pill Refiners, they could hold their heads high with pride.

But now, Fang Lin’s sharp words completely stripped away all their pride, leaving the man in black robes and the others both hateful and angry, wishing they could rush forward and tear Fang Lin to pieces right there and then.

“You, Fang Lin, kill and won’t admit your guilt, and even have the audacity to insult us–how outrageous! How can the Pill Alliance tolerate someone like you?” The man in black robes pointed at Fang Lin, screaming at the top of his lungs, to anyone unaware it might seem as if Fang Lin had murdered his entire family, as if they had a feud as deep as the ocean.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes: “The Pill Alliance, with or without me, will still be the Pill Alliance. But if the Pill Alliance was without you Poison Pill Masters, it would definitely be better than it is now.”

“You infuriate me!” The man in black robes finally lost his composure, his face ashen, and he slammed his fist onto the chair behind him, shattering it.

Even he, usually so composed and cautious, had lost his temper, so it’s needless to mention the other Poison Pill Masters, each of them seething with anger, clenching their fists, some even showing a fierce look with murderous intent in their eyes.

Fang Lin quickly clutched at his chest: “Oh my, what’s all this? There’s no need to smash the chair when you’re angry, right? That’s not something belonging to you Poison Pill Masters; it belongs to the Ancient Pill Court. If it’s broken, you’ll have to pay for it. Besides, I’m a timid person. You all look so ferocious and menacing, like you want to eat someone. If you scare me, that wouldn’t be good.”

With Fang Lin behaving this way, not only the Poison Pill Masters in black but even the others who saw this wanted to give Fang Lin a good beating.

It was really asking for a beating. If you’re going to act, at least put on a convincing show. Why act so obnoxiously?

However, what Fang Lin said did make quite a few people nod in agreement, looking at the Poison Pill Masters with even more disdain.

The Pill Alliance wouldn’t change at all without Fang Lin, it could even be considered a loss. Putting other things aside, Fang Lin’s own talent was enough for the Pill Alliance to value and cultivate.

But if the Pill Alliance lacked the group of Poison Pill Masters, it would definitely be much better off.

Because everyone understands that ever since the Pill Alliance accepted the group of Poison Pill Masters, the internal problems of the Pill Alliance have increased and it is no longer as harmonious as it once was.

Moreover, the presence of Poison Pill Masters has also led to many Pill Refiners in the Pill Alliance being persecuted and ostracized. Although such incidents are not frequent, they have indeed occurred.

Moreover, the reputation of the Pill Alliance used to be excellent, but with the incorporation of these Poison Pill Masters, the reputation of the Pill Alliance has been far from what it was, and has faced even more skepticism.

Every year, there are voices from within the Pill Alliance hoping it can expel the cancer that is the Poison Pill Masters, with some even making a stand with their lives.

But the Poison Pill Masters are still there in the Pill Alliance, like bone maggots. As long as the Eight Great Elders don’t give the nod, the position of Poison Pill Masters in the Pill Alliance is very secure.

Apart from a few who are rather close to the Poison Pill Masters, the vast majority of the Pill Alliance wishes for the Poison Pill Masters to disappear from the Pill Alliance.

“Elder, this boy is way too presumptuous,” the man in black robes said angrily, having no choice but to look towards Elder Tianhong.

Elder Tianhong maintained an expressionless face: “Fang Lin, stop trying to attract attention with your antics. Your charges have not yet been cleared.”

Fang Lin smiled faintly, “Elder sees clearly; the so-called charges are merely attempts by some to slander me. Right and wrong will be evident once an investigation is conducted.”

Elder Tianhong nodded, “Of course, I will investigate. If you indeed slaughtered without cause, I will hold you accountable for the offense. If someone has slandered you, I will also ensure that justice is served.”

Fang Lin bowed his hands in thanks, “Thank you, Elder.”

The man in black gnashed his teeth, full of resentment; he regretted that the conference wasn’t presided over by Elder Tiangang, for if it were, Fang Lin would have already been taken into custody by now.

Although Elder Tianhong wasn’t the most dominant among the Eight Great Elders, he was still an extremely formidable figure, decisive in action, swift as lightning, and not one to tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.

If Elder Tianhong were to truly investigate, then this matter wouldn’t withstand scrutiny. As long as it was clear that the Poison Pill Masters of Meng Kingdom ambushed Fang Lin first, then he wouldn’t bear any charges.

“Elder, whether Fang Lin’s slaughter requires further investigation, within the Ancient Pill Court he blatantly insulted Elder Zheng and others. I fear this matter cannot simply be overlooked,” a high-ranking official from the Pill Alliance spoke coldly.

Fang Lin glanced at the one who spoke, who had also been one previously clamoring to determine his crimes.

It was clear that they were unable to accuse him on the matter of slaughter, so they shifted their strategy to charge Fang Lin with openly insulting the man in black and others.

Although this was evidently less severe than the issue of slaughter, it could still be troublesome if it were taken seriously.

“Elder, we are Pill Refiners of the Pill Alliance too and cannot tolerate being insulted by anyone. We hope the Elder can deliver justice to us as well,” the man in black, also known as Elder Zheng, said to Elder Tianhong with his hands bowed.

Elder Tianhong frowned without responding, seemingly weighing his options.

Fang Lin said, “When you were slinging mud at me, your attitude was very aggressive. Now that the tables have turned, are you playing the part of the pitiful and weak?”

Elder Zheng snorted coldly, glaring at Fang Lin: “Even if you are a disciple of Elder Tiankui, I must say you are not fit to be a Hall Master, nor do you deserve the status of a Pill Alliance Pill Refiner. Your behavior is deplorable, and sooner or later, you will bring disaster upon the Pill Alliance.”

Fang Lin responded immediately, “Elder, this person is slandering with malicious intent. I hope the Elder will punish him severely.”

Elder Zheng’s face turned pale with anger, creating a stark contrast with his black attire.

Many laughed secretly; Fang Lin was truly something. The Poison Pill Masters had accused him of malicious slander, and now Fang Lin was using their own tactics against them, accusing Elder Zheng of malicious slander.

Elder Tianhong felt a headache coming on, as Fang Lin gave him the impression of one of those troublesome ruffians, irritating to the point of making one’s teeth itch, yet impossible to deal with.

“Do not be impertinent,” Elder Tianhong chided, signaling Fang Lin to stop his disruptive behavior.

However, Fang Lin suddenly became serious, bowing deeply, “As the Hall Master of North Town Hall, I, Fang Lin, request that the Elder purify the Pill Alliance, expel the malignant Poison Pill Masters from the Pill Alliance, and restore a bright and ordered world for the Pill Alliance!”
