The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1156 - Chapter 1156 Chapter 1155 No Daylight

Chapter 1156: Chapter 1155: No Daylight Chapter 1156: Chapter 1155: No Daylight Two figures, one black and one white, arrived–it was Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao.

Cheng Chong was still holding a human head in his hand, belonging to the leader of the Hidden Kill Hall, whom the two had already slain.

However, they were still a step too late, unable to arrive in time, and it was unknown whether the Dragon Family Demon had escaped from the array, as it had already failed.

But even if they had arrived in time, there wouldn’t have been much of a change, for the Dragon Family Demon was ultimately too powerful; the array was not completely constructed before it was broken through by the Dragon Family Demon.

“Elder, what’s the situation?” Mo Junyao saw Elder Tianhong and Mr. Long Jiu and greeted them with clasped hands before hastily asking.

Elder Tianhong frowned deeply and said, “The array failed, casualties are heavy.”

Hearing this, Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao both felt a heavy sink in their hearts.

“What about the demon? Has he already left Fall Demon Cliff?” Cheng Chong asked.

“It’s not certain yet, but the possibility of his departure is high,” Elder Tianhong replied.

Upon hearing this, both of them sighed silently; this operation was considered a failure, with the Dragon Family Demon escaping and so many forces lost–it was a situation hardly manageable now.

“Elder Tianhong, this is the fault of my Dragon Family, it was wrong to involve the Pill Alliance,” Mr. Long Jiu said, bowing deeply to Elder Tianhong.

Elder Tianhong helped Mr. Long Jiu back to his feet and sighed, “This matter of the demon is not something that can be resolved by one family alone, and casualties were inevitable; you need not blame yourself.”

Mr. Long Jiu shook his head with a bitter expression, not knowing quite what to say, feeling a deep guilt in his heart.

The fall of six Spirit Source masters was painful even for a huge entity like the Pill Alliance; had it happened to his Dragon Family, those old ones in his family would probably have been stomping their feet in anger.

“Elder, Lord Jiu, what should we do now?” Cheng Chong asked the two.

At this moment, Mr. Long Jiu was utterly distraught, his mind in a complete mess. Elder Tianhong, however, remained calm and said, “Contact the Pill Alliance, send another group here, and also send someone to inform the Three Emperors, tell them that the demon beneath Fall Demon Cliff might have escaped.”

“Yes,” Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao responded and left for their tasks.

After they left, Elder Tianhong and Mr. Long Jiu searched around Fall Demon Cliff several times but couldn’t find any trace of Fang Lin and couldn’t help but speculate that Fang Lin might already be dead.

“Alas, how should we report this to Tiankui?” Elder Tianhong said with a mournful expression. Had he known that the matter at Fall Demon Cliff would turn out this way, he would never have sent anyone there from the start.

“This matter started because of my Dragon Family. I will go and ask for punishment from Elder Tiankui,” Mr. Long Jiu said, also feeling very distressed.

Then, Elder Tiankui and Mr. Long Jiu also left Fall Demon Cliff, as Elder Tiankui needed to take the injured back for treatment and discuss the next steps with the other Elders.

Mr. Long Jiu returned to the Long Family for a while and then went directly to Tiankui Pavilion the next day, reporting that Fang Lin had gone missing at Fall Demon Cliff, and his life or death was uncertain.

Elder Tiankui was also unable to sit still and immediately went to Fall Demon Cliff himself to search repeatedly, but the result was still the same, without any findings.

“How could this be?” Elder Tiankui found it hard to accept, feeling immense hatred in his heart.

Meanwhile, the news of the Dragon Family Demon’s escape also secretly spread throughout the Nine Countries, causing a huge uproar.

The reputation of the Dragon Family Demon was quite notorious, after all, he was a figure who had caused countless slaughters a thousand years ago, and his name was still mentioned frequently.

However, the people of the Nine Countries had not expected that the Dragon Family Demon was still alive; he had now escaped from his confinement and was about to bring chaos to the Nine Countries.

At this time, the people of the Nine Countries were terrified, especially those in the Lower Three Kingdoms and the Middle Three Kingdoms, who were even more afraid of becoming the first target of the Dragon Family Demon’s rampage.

Equally alarmed were the Alchemy Tao noble families.

It should be noted that in those years, the Demon of the Long Family killed mostly people from the Alchemy Tao family clans; even during that era, several Family Heads of the Alchemy Tao families died at the hands of the Dragon Family Demon.

Now, when the Demon of the Long Family has reappeared, those Alchemy Tao families that had been ravaged by the Demon of Long’s Spine naturally remained on edge and fearful.

Within the Pill Alliance, the news of Fang Lin’s death at the hands of the Dragon Family Demon spread widely. Elder Tiangang, the Ling Family, and the Poison Pill Masters, among others, all clapped their hands in delight, as happy as if celebrating the New Year.

“Wonderful! That scoundrel Fang Lin has finally died!”

“Truly a joyous occasion!”

“His death really does lift a weight off our chests.”

“A blade too bright is easily broken; this youngster indeed met his demise.”

…

Those who were on good terms with Fang Lin, however, secretly felt it was a pity. A promising talent had just begun to rise but had fallen just like that.

However, the news of Fang Lin’s demise was, for the time being, only circulating within the Pill Alliance and there was no one to certify the truth of the matter.

People’s attention was more keenly fixed on the Demon of the Long Family.

Given the immense danger brought about by the reappearance of the Demon of the Long Family, the Three Emperors had to intervene whether they wanted to or not.

All over the Nine Countries, under the leadership of the Three Emperors, a search began for the Demon of the Long Family, aiming to utterly annihilate it.

With a war against the Seven Seas looming, if the terrible scourge of the Dragon Family Demon was not eliminated, the Nine Countries would face enemies on both fronts during the clash with the Seven Seas, putting them in an extremely disadvantageous position.

The Three Emperors even went to meet with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, hoping that the Demon Beast clan would also join in the effort to capture the Dragon Family Demon.

However, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven did not fall in line, showing no sign of taking any action.

The Three Emperors had approached the situation tentatively and had not expected the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to truly agree.

Some also suspected that the Dragon Family Demon was still hiding in Fall Demon Cliff, and many powerful beings converged there multiple times to investigate.

But the remnant power of the Demon Suppression Array under Fall Demon Cliff made it impossible to delve deeper, and judging from the dispersed Demonic Qi in the surroundings, it was most likely that the Dragon Family Demon had left Fall Demon Cliff.

What they did not know was that the Dragon Family Demon had not left Fall Demon Cliff but was still hiding beneath it.

Also believed to have fallen and present under Fall Demon Cliff was Fang Lin.

Below Fall Demon Cliff, where there was no sunlight, no distinction between day and night, it was always dim.

When Fang Lin awoke, he had no idea how much time had passed and only felt utterly weak, as if he had been through a severe illness.

“Kid, you’ve been poisoned,” said the Old Dried Corpse as soon as Fang Lin woke up.

Fang Lin was shocked, and without bothering to look around at his surroundings, he hurriedly checked his body.

Upon examining himself, Fang Lin’s complexion immediately changed; he was indeed poisoned, and the toxicity had spread to his organs, a rather deep level of poisoning, but not yet to the bone marrow.

Even if the poison had reached the bone marrow, Fang Lin had ways to save himself, but at a great cost.

“Where is this place?” Fang Lin turned his head to look around, seeing only darkness, and could vaguely discern someone sitting opposite him.
