The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188 Chapter 1187 Dragon Haotian

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1187: Dragon Haotian Chapter 1188: Chapter 1187: Dragon Haotian “Before deciding how to deal with Fang Lin, shouldn’t we first resolve the internal issues of the Pill Alliance?” the East Pole Heaven King said, his murky old eyes looking at the other three Heaven Kings.

“Ultimately, Fang Lin is a scourge of the Pill Alliance. All these incidents happening within the Pill Alliance are related to him. As long as he is removed, the Pill Alliance will naturally return to tranquility,” the Western Moon King said.

The East Pole Heaven King frowned slightly and sat up a bit straighter. “A mere Fang Lin can turn the Pill Alliance into what it is now? If we are truly getting to the root of the issue, is the problem not on us four?”

“East Pole, why would you say such a thing?” the South Zodiac King asked.

The East Pole Heaven King sighed deeply. “The Pill Alliance is ultimately too vast, and we have been negligent in managing it, making some wrong decisions that led to the current state of the Pill Alliance.”

“East Pole, what do you mean?” the Western Moon King asked, a hint of darkness appearing on his face.

The East Pole Heaven King looked at him and said, “Take the matter of the Poison Pill Master for instance. Since the Poison Pill Master joined the Pill Alliance, internal conflicts have been unceasing and the disputes are escalating. We chose to ignore them, thinking that time would heal the problems. However, it seems now that no matter how much time passes, nothing will change. Rather, if the Poison Pill Master continues to stay in the Pill Alliance, it might lead to its collapse.”

The South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King both looked towards the Western Moon King. Everyone in the Pill Alliance knew that the development of the Poison Pill Master within the Pill Alliance was largely supported by the Western Moon King.

The East Pole Heaven King’s words obviously implied a criticism of the Western Moon King.

True enough, an evident anger surfaced on the Western Moon King’s face as he glared straight at the East Pole Heaven King.

“The Poison Pill Master’s inclusion in the Pill Alliance was a decision made by the old Heaven Kings. I was merely following their wishes,” the Western Moon King said gravely.

This was indeed the case. The acceptance of the Poison Pill Master into the Pill Alliance happened thousands of years ago, not a decision made by their generation, but facilitated by the previous generation of old Heaven Kings.

However, the inclusion of the Poison Pill Master has stirred much controversy, with many standing up hoping to remove the Poison Pill Master but to no avail.

The fundamental reason lies in the Western Moon King’s continuous protection of the Poison Pill Master, making him their greatest support within the Pill Alliance.

As long as the Western Moon King does not change his stance on the Poison Pill Master, removing the Poison Pill Master will be extremely difficult.

“Although it was the old Heaven Kings who accepted the Poison Pill Master, it’s us four who are leading the Pill Alliance now. We can change all this instead of letting the situation of the Pill Alliance continue to deteriorate,” the East Pole Heaven King said.

The Western Moon King suddenly stood up. “East Pole, do not forget, the old Heaven Kings once received benefits from the Poison Pill Master.”

The East Pole Heaven King shook his head. “Allowing the Poison Pill Master to act recklessly in the Pill Alliance all these years has already been lenient. It’s time to govern him properly now.”

The Western Moon King’s expression changed, hearing this, he realized that the East Pole Heaven King was determined to deal with the Poison Pill Master within the Pill Alliance.

Once the Poison Pill Master was removed from the Pill Alliance, this would greatly harm the authority of the Western Moon King, and considering the closely related interests between him and the Poison Pill Master, why else would he protect the Poison Pill Master so much, letting him grow within the Pill Alliance?

If the Poison Pill Master disappears from the Pill Alliance, the biggest loser would undoubtedly be the Western Moon King.

“What we need to discuss now is not the retention of the Poison Pill Master, but how to deal with Fang Lin!” the Western Moon King said insistently.

“Indeed, matters regarding the Poison Pill Master can be discussed later, let’s decide on Fang Lin first,” the South Zodiac King said.

“East Pole, just say it, are you trying to protect Fang Lin?” the North Spirit King asked bluntly.

The expression of the East Pole King remained unchanged: “I am not trying to protect Fang Lin, but to seek the truth.”

“Oh? And how do you plan to seek the truth?” the Western Moon King asked with a hint of mockery.

Seemingly oblivious to the Western Moon King’s mocking tone, the East Pole King said, “I have been observing Fang Lin for a long time, he is a rare genius within our Pill Alliance, adept in both alchemy and martial arts. Without any accidents, in twenty years, he will inevitably have a place in this land of the Nine Countries.”

“Genius or not, he is ultimately a calamity. Keeping him in the Pill Alliance will only bring harm to the Pill Alliance,” the Western Moon King immediately countered.

The East Pole King glanced at him, “Let me finish speaking first. Although this young man has been somewhat unruly, the actions he took were out of desperation. If not for Tiangang and Situ Zheng trying to harm Fang Lin, how could he have taken such drastic measures? He and the Poison Pill Master are mortal enemies, so you, the Western Moon King, also see him as a thorn in your side. Additionally, the Ling Family has a life-and-death feud with Fang Lin, but ultimately, it was the Ling Family who was at fault first.”

Pausing for a moment, the East Pole King continued, “All things considered, Fang Lin has not always been in a passive situation. The present situation was created under pressure from various parties; if we really were to talk about punishment, I’m afraid many people won’t be able to escape involvement.”

“No matter what you say, the Inspection Hall was destroyed by Fang Lin, and he is also related to the death of Tiangang. It is absolutely impossible to let him off just like that,” the Western Moon King said.

The East Pole King hummed, “Naturally, we cannot just let him off, but neither can we punish him severely, a slight reprimand will suffice.”

“Unacceptable!” the Western Moon King immediately said.

Just as the East Pole King was about to speak again, he noticed someone quietly arriving at this highly secret hall.

It is known that this hall within the Ancient Pill Court is accessible only to the four Heaven Kings, and even the Elders are not allowed to step foot in it.

Yet now, there was someone who could walk in directly, which clearly marked this individual’s uncommon status.

The newcomer, dressed in green apparel and white boots, moved elegantly and slowly approached the near proximity of the four Heaven Kings.

None of the four Heaven Kings felt any surprise about the arrival of this person; apart from them, there were very few others in the entire Pill Alliance qualified to enter this hall.

“Dragon Haotian, you really came,” the East Pole King said to the man in green and white boots, a smile appearing on his face.

The person in the green apparel and white boots looked very young, seemingly only in his twenties, handsome with an air of valor.

But the name Dragon Haotian was very ancient; even centuries-old powerful seniors respect him when mentioning Dragon Haotian.

Current Family Head of the Long Family, the eldest of the Long Family’s nine brothers, he was once nearly one of the four Heaven Kings.

“All four of you have gathered here, so it’s time for me to come out and take a walk,” Dragon Haotian said with a smile, his hands behind his back.
