The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1276 - Chapter 1276 Chapter 1375 Step into the Chaos

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1375: Step into the Chaos Chapter 1276: Chapter 1375: Step into the Chaos The silver-haired woman looked at the Forest of Mist before her, the corners of her mouth lifted in a somewhat sinister smile.

“Are you going in too?” A man suddenly appeared, standing behind the silver-haired woman.

“Of course. As for you, aren’t you interested in the secrets within?” The silver-haired woman didn’t turn around; she knew who was behind her.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, handsome, with a touch of the devilish. His eyes–one red, one blue–were unnervingly peculiar.

This man was none other than the Fire King, one of the four top assassins of Hidden Kill Hall.

“I have other matters to attend to. The secrets inside will be investigated by others from my Hidden Kill Hall,” the Fire King said indifferently.

“So, your people from Hidden Kill Hall are going to compete with me?” the silver-haired woman asked coldly.

The Fire King waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, “I wouldn’t dare. Hidden Kill Hall would like to survive for many more years. We’re just adding to the excitement, not competing for anything in particular.”

The silver-haired woman’s lips curled in a sneer, “If you dare stand in my way, I’ll kill you on the spot.”

Having said that, the silver-haired woman didn’t bother with the Fire King any longer and stepped directly into the Forest of Mist.

The Fire King stood behind without making a move, but the smile on his face became even thicker.

“The secrets of the Forest of Mist must be obtained by Hidden Kill Hall. Even you cannot make us give up,” the Fire King murmured, then his figure also disappeared.

After both the Fire King and the silver-haired woman had vanished, another figure quietly approached.

This person had white hair but looked very young, seemingly not even twenty years old, and was not very tall. If it weren’t for the white hair that suggested a wealth of experience, this person looked in every way like a youngster.

Yet the eyes of this white-haired youth were extraordinarily weathered, as if they had tasted all the flavors of life.

“The thing I need is right in there,” the white-haired youth said as he arrived outside the Forest of Mist. His gaze locked onto the forest known as forbidden ground, but he didn’t rush to enter.

With a wave of his hand, an object appeared in his palm.

This object was an incense burner, which looked quite exquisite. Carved on the lid was a lifelike little snake, coiled atop the lid as if it could come to life at any moment.

Within the incense burner, wisps of blue smoke drifted out. The white-haired youth blew gently, and the smoke headed towards the Forest of Mist.

After doing this, the white-haired youth held the incense burner and sat down cross-legged, but his figure started to blur and soon disappeared from the spot.

In reality, the white-haired youth had not truly disappeared but had simply concealed his presence so that others could not see him.

After the white-haired youth had hidden his figure, indeed several figures came one after another. Not a single person noticed the white-haired youth as they entered the Forest of Mist.

As these people entered the Forest of Mist, the white-haired youth remained entirely still, without even a glance, as if he had entered deep meditation.

It wasn’t until a girl appeared that the white-haired youth finally opened his eyes.

This was an innocent girl, brimming with naivety. Her long, jet-black hair fell neatly behind her, reaching down to her hips. Her face was flawlessly beautiful. She came bounding along joyfully, the two strings of small bells at her waist jingling merrily.

As the girl approached, she looked at the dense forest ahead. Her eyes glowed with childlike innocence, seemingly oblivious to the danger of this place.

Afterward, the girl glanced one more time toward where the white-haired teenager was sitting cross-legged, her eyes filled with a touch of doubt and confusion.

“Seems like there’s someone there, huh?” the girl muttered to herself, but looking left and right, she couldn’t see anything.

Then, the girl hummed a tune, shaking the small bell at her waist and with a carefree expression on her face, walked into The Forest of Mist.

It wasn’t until the girl had completely disappeared into the dense woods that the white-haired boy revealed his form.

“This little lass is really sharp, actually able to detect my presence,” the white-haired boy said to himself with a surprised look in his eyes.

Just then, a wisp of blue smoke drifted out from The Forest of Mist, twirling around the white-haired boy’s fingertips.

“So that’s how it is,” the white-haired boy mused and, with a flick of his hand, the blue smoke dissipated and he too walked into The Forest of Mist.

After the white-haired boy entered, no one else came to the place, but right where he had been sitting moments before, a small mound of earth suddenly appeared.

Something resembling a giant radish emerged from the small mound, with half of its body sticking out of the ground.

“Damn it, I am someone with important things to do, why am I always burrowing into the ground like this?” This radish-like thing had human features, although they looked somewhat sleazy no matter how you looked at it.

This fellow was none other than Corpse Ginseng, naturally. It had stayed in the ground for a very long time, clearly observing everyone who entered The Forest of Mist from here.

“Sigh, Fang Lin is really busy these days. It seems like it’s up to me to take action on the big events happening inside The Forest of Mist,” Corpse Ginseng said as it crawled out from the ground, shaking off the mud on its body and was about to enter The Forest of Mist.

But just as it was about to step in, it suddenly stopped.

“Hold on, why should I get myself into this troublesome mess? It’s better to make a run for it while Fang Lin is too busy to care about me,” Corpse Ginseng said to itself, touching its chin, even though it didn’t actually have a chin.

Just as it was hesitating whether to enter The Forest of Mist, several figures approached from a distance, causing Corpse Ginseng to burrow back into the ground in fright.

There were three people in the group, one of whom was a familiar face — it was Zhou Meng.

“Dammit, why has this damn Zhou also shown up?” Old Dried Corpse cursed silently to itself, not daring to show its face at all.

Besides Zhou Meng, the other two also had aged faces, and they seemed to be experts from the Pill Alliance, with cultivation levels comparable to Zhou Meng’s.

After arriving at the site, Zhou Meng and the others looked around and noticed a hole in the ground, which was where Corpse Ginseng had just emerged.

The three of them stared at the hole for a while, finding it peculiar since it looked freshly made.

Old Dried Corpse was scared out of its wits, not daring to move an inch or even breathe too loudly, for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, these three did not stay long and soon entered The Forest of Mist.

After Zhou Meng and his company were gone, Old Dried Corpse crawled out again, now convinced it could not stay, and even more convinced it should not go in.

“I am meant for greater things, can’t be mixing up with these petty figures. Better to go to a safe place and make plans from there,” Old Dried Corpse muttered to itself, ready to leave the area.

“Eh? A sentient magical radish?” Unexpectedly, a large hand reached out and grabbed it, and Corpse Ginseng, taken completely by surprise, was caught in the hand.
