The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1161 - Chapter 1161 Chapter 1160 This Seat Is Here

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1160: This Seat Is Here Chapter 1161: Chapter 1160: This Seat Is Here “This place is well hidden; I shouldn’t be disturbed here. I’ll exorcise the demon core from my body first and then leave this place,” Fang Lin thought to himself.

If the demon core inside his body was not thoroughly eradicated, Fang Lin could never truly be at ease. It was a hidden danger that had to be eliminated.

With Fang Lin’s skills, he naturally had ways to expel the demon core, and the preferred method was through pills.

It took a full two months, but Fang Lin finally removed the demon core from his body, not a trace of demonic Qi remained.

Without the demon core, Fang Lin felt a weight had been lifted, free from worries that had plagued him.

He then soared into the air, intending to leave Fall Demon Cliff.

However, as he shot upward, he encountered an immense resistance; his entire body was violently forced back down.

Fang Lin’s expression turned grave. There was still residual power from the Demon Suppression Array within the Fall Demon Cliff, and it was this remnant force that prevented him from leaving.

“No, I can’t delay any longer; I must leave at once!” Fang Lin didn’t want to linger beneath Fall Demon Cliff and kept trying to escape, but time and again, the residual power of the Demon Suppression Array thwarted him.

“It can’t be helped.” Resigned to the fact that his strength was insufficient to break through the Demon Suppression Array, Fang Lin summoned the demon puppet.

Long Jiankong, clad in a black robe, appeared without any hesitation and threw a punch directly at the Demon Suppression Array.

With a thunderous boom, the Demon Suppression Array completely collapsed, Fang Lin retracted the demon puppet, and soared into the sky, escaping from Fall Demon Cliff.

“The Dragon Family Demon! It’s the Dragon Family Demon!”

“Good heavens! He was actually still hiding beneath Fall Demon Cliff!”

“We’re done for! We’re all going to die!”

Some martial artists were still guarding outside Fall Demon Cliff. They saw Fang Lin flying upward and mistook him for the Dragon Family’s Devil Dragon in the Air.

Fang Lin couldn’t be bothered to explain to these people; as he rushed toward North Town Hall, he began replying to the messages accumulated in the Message Transmitting Jade Slip.

Because of Fang Lin’s disappearance, many people had tried to confirm via the Message Transmitting Jade Slip whether he was still alive.

However, being under Fall Demon Cliff, the Demon Suppression Array had blocked all outside contact, making it impossible to receive any messages. It wasn’t until Fang Lin emerged that all those messages flooded in.

After reading the messages, Fang Lin’s expression grew increasingly unsightly.

“To take my position as Hall Master just because I have been missing for a couple of months?” Fang Lin scoffed, having replied to the messages, he had reached North Town Hall.

One month into Fang Lin’s disappearance, the Pill Alliance’s high-ranking officials convened a meeting. Since North Town Hall could not be without a leader, they appointed someone to serve temporarily as Hall Master.

Though it was said to be temporary, the person dispatched belonged to Elder Tiangang’s faction; the motive behind such a decision was clear for all to see.

Although Elder Tiankui strongly opposed, at that time he also wasn’t sure if Fang Lin was still alive, so the position of Hall Master eventually went to someone else.

Moreover, rumors from the Alchemy Tao families, spread by someone unknown, implicated Fang Lin in the escape of the Dragon Family Demon.

The rumor spread quickly, soon infiltrating both the Pill Alliance and various Alchemy Tao families.

Many initially scoffed at the rumors, but with instigation from some vested interests, more and more people began to believe them.

Upon this, the Long Family immediately stood up and solemnly declared that Fang Lin had nothing to do with the liberation of the “Dragon Family Demon.”

However, not many believed the Long Family’s statement.

Because the “Dragon Family Demon” was, after all, from their own ranks, many felt that the Long Family would shelter this fiend.

Some even wondered if the “Dragon Family Demon” might have been intentionally released by the Long Family.

Of course, no one dared to voice this suspicion out loud, for the Long Family still wielded immense power, and such accusations, if made openly, would be overly audacious.

Within the Pill Alliance, the situation had also become tense because of Fang Lin’s disappearance, and with his life or death uncertain, the faction of Elder Tiangang became active again, suppressing the faction of Elder Tiankui at every opportunity.

There were also many who grieved for Fang Lin’s fall, those who sincerely considered the welfare of the Pill Alliance, lamenting the loss of such an extraordinary genius.

In short, the life and death of Fang Lin nearly shook the entire Pill Alliance, with some hoping he was alive, and others wishing he would never reappear.

Outside North Town Hall, the arrival of Fang Lin left the Pill Refiners standing guard in astonishment, their eyes widening in disbelief.

“Lord…Lord Fang?”

“Am I seeing things? Is that really Lord Fang?”

“Lord Fang is still alive!”

…

Inside North Town Hall, Fang Lin’s reappearance caused an uproar.

The current ruler of North Town Hall, named He Gushan, was incredulous when he heard the news of Fang Lin’s appearance outside North Town Hall, and then he immediately issued an order prohibiting Fang Lin from entering.

What a joke, thought He Gushan, having finally seized such an opportunity, how could he just hand over North Town Hall so easily?

Unfortunately, very few within North Town Hall heeded He Gushan’s commands, and Fang Lin entered with little difficulty, escorted by numerous Pill Refiners straight to He Gushan himself.

He Gushan, seated upon the Hall Master’s throne, looked extremely displeased as he gazed down at Fang Lin from above.

Fang Lin, with a hint of amusement, looked at He Gushan and smiled, “How comfortable is my seat, sitting there?”

He Gushan scoffed, “Fang Lin, you are no longer the Hall Master of North Town Hall, thus forcing your way in here is a crime–what penalty do you think fits?”

Fang Lin laughed, “You were merely acting as the Hall Master, and now that I have returned, you’ve surely had your fill of sitting. Come down now.”

He Gushan slammed his hand down and stood up abruptly, “Fang Lin! I am the Hall Master of North Town Hall. You still have unpurged suspicions of colluding with the ‘Dragon Family Demon,’ insolent fool, get out of North Town Hall!”

No sooner had he spoken than silence befell all present. After all, those gathered were Pill Refiners of North Town Hall; who didn’t know of Fang Lin’s temperament?

And as expected, Fang Lin grew angry, striding forward to seize He Gushan without giving him a chance to struggle, hurling him violently to the ground.

He Gushan was completely dazed by Fang Lin’s throw, despite his own eight-fold Spirit Bone cultivation, he found himself powerless against Fang Lin, tossed to the floor like a dead pig.

Fang Lin stepped on He Gushan, pressing him down until he spat blood, then casually took his place on the Hall Master’s throne.

“As the Hall Master, are you not going to greet me?” Fang Lin called out with authority, surveying the crowd.

“Greetings, Lord Fang!” Immediately, all the Pill Refiners of North Town Hall bowed in salute to Fang Lin.
