The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1423 - Chapter 1423 Chapter 1521 Master

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1521: Master Chapter 1423: Chapter 1521: Master Beside the incense burner, a Taoist practitioner sat cross-legged on either side, with the person on the left wearing a black Taoist robe and the person on the right wearing a white Taoist robe. The clear distinction between black and white only served to complement each other.

“Where is Cangyunzi?” the white-robed Taoist opened his eyes which shone with light, as if clouds were floating within them.

Before the great hall, a figure slowly stepped inside, bowing respectfully to the two Taoists.

“Cangyunzi is here to meet the two Masters,” said the newcomer; it was Cangyunzi, who had been quite active in the Nine Countries.

With Cangyunzi’s power and seniority, his status was quite high in Chongyun Temple. However, in the presence of the two Masters of Chongyun Temple, Cangyunzi still maintained respect.

Moreover, strictly speaking of seniority, both Masters were Cangyunzi’s seniors.

“Fang Lin has been killing recklessly within our Taoist Sect, and until now has not been brought to justice. True Martial Hall has commanded our Chongyun Temple to also send someone to execute Fang Lin,” said the white-robed Taoist calmly to Cangyunzi.

Cangyunzi nodded, saying, “Since Fang Lin has been acting recklessly within our Taoist domain, he deserves to be punished.”

“You have seen this Fang Lin; you shall be the one to take his life,” the white-robed Taoist declared.

Who knew, upon hearing this, Cangyunzi’s expression became peculiar, as if he could not decide whether he was willing or not.

The white-robed Taoist, with a discerning eye, immediately saw that Cangyunzi seemed somewhat reluctant to undertake this task.

“Do you have some unspeakable difficulties?” asked the white-robed Taoist.

Cangyunzi hesitated for a moment before saying, “To be frank with my two Master brothers, Fang Lin is not to be trifled with.”

“Oh? Why is he not to be trifled with?” the white-robed Taoist asked, furrowing his brows slightly.

Cangyunzi smiled bitterly, “My Masters, you are unaware – Fang Lin has a powerful protector.”

“Are you referring to that mysterious expert who caused the fall of Burning Lamp Buddha?” asked the white-robed Taoist.

“Exactly that person. It is not that I, Cangyunzi, am unwilling to fight for the Taoist Sect, but rather that the mysterious expert is too formidable. Even Burning Lamp Buddha was no match; how could I possibly stand against him?” Cangyunzi spoke with bitterness.

The white-robed Taoist fell into thought for a moment. Suddenly, the black-robed Taoist who had been silent spoke up: “According to news from Wang Linlang, Fang Lin now possesses strength comparable to that of the Great Longevity figures. Apart from a demon of the Long Family, there are no signs of that mysterious strong presence.”

Hearing this, Cangyunzi inwardly groaned, interpreting it as a firm intent to have him confront Fang Lin.

To be honest, ever since Cangyunzi had witnessed the terrifying power of the Old Dried Corpse, he had been completely frightened.

Deep down, he was utterly unwilling to confront Fang Lin; to Cangyunzi, it was essentially no different from courting death.

Even if the mysterious strong figure seemed to be absent from Fang Lin’s side, Cangyunzi dared not proceed.

Should the mysterious figure just be biding their time, yet to act, and if Fang Lin were pushed into a corner, once the mysterious figure emerged, wouldn’t Cangyunzi be finished?

No joke, even Burning Lamp Buddha couldn’t defeat that mysterious expert. Cangyunzi was well aware of his limitations; compared to Burning Lamp Buddha, he fell far short and would likely not withstand even a few moves from that mysterious adversary.

“Master brothers, Cangyunzi implores with boldness, may someone else be dispatched to execute Fang Lin?” Cangyunzi asked carefully, looking at them both.

The black-robed Taoist didn’t speak, and the white-robed Taoist opened his mouth: “Cangyunzi, you must be the one to act. My Chongyun Temple is currently short of hands; since you are free, there’s no reason for you not to act.”

“Brother, even Wang Linlang was defeated by Fang Lin. I’m no match for Wang Linlang, so I’m afraid I might suffer a loss against him too,” Cangyunzi said with a bitter face.

“Wang Linlang was not defeated by Fang Lin. He simply didn’t wish to exert more effort, hoping that True Martial Hall and our Chongyun Temple would deal with Fang Lin, so he could benefit from the situation,” the white-robed Taoist said. His tone was calm, but Cangyunzi could tell that the white-robed Taoist looked down on Wang Linlang somewhat.

Cangyunzi hesitated and then said, “How about we at Chongyun Temple follow Supreme Palace’s lead and not rush to deal with Fang Lin just yet?”

Hearing this, the white-robed Taoist’s face showed displeasure. “Our Chongyun Temple is the leader of the Taoist Sects; all people of the Taoist way are looking to us. If we do nothing, wouldn’t that cause a misunderstanding about our Chongyun Temple among them?”

Cangyunzi showed an embarrassed expression and said, “I was just suggesting. Since the Master has commanded, then I shall make the journey and take care of Fang Lin.”

However, Cangyunzi didn’t really plan to do so in his heart.

If he were to confront Fang Lin, Cangyunzi didn’t have much confidence. After all, even Wang Linlang had not managed to handle Fang Lin, and he was no stronger than Wang Linlang. Not to mention facing Fang Lin, he would find it difficult even against the Dragon Family Demon.

Therefore, Cangyunzi planned to go through the motions without exerting much effort, merely making a gesture when he visited Fang Lin, without getting entangled with him.

“You should take the Moon Flowing Sword with you, it might help you slay Fang Lin,” the white-robed Taoist said as he waved his hand and handed a longsword to Cangyunzi.

Cangyunzi solemnly accepted the longsword, his face carrying a serious expression.

This Moon Flowing Sword was no ordinary weapon; it was a true treasure that had slain many strong beings from the Nine Countries.

The Moon Flowing Sword was the personal weapon carried by the white-robed Taoist; it was rarely used by others. This time, the white-robed Taoist gave it to Cangyunzi, obviously hoping Cangyunzi would swiftly accomplish his mission and slay Fang Lin with the sword.

Cangyunzi muttered in his heart, even with the Moon Flowing Sword, it’s unlikely I could kill Fang Lin. I’ll just take a turn outside, put up a front and then return, handing the Moon Flowing Sword back to the Master.

“Thank you for the sword, Master. Cangyunzi will do his utmost!” Cangyunzi held the sword with both hands, making a solemn vow.

“Go,” the white-robed Taoist waved his hand, and Cangyunzi immediately withdrew.

Inside the hall, only the white-robed Taoist and the black-robed Taoist were left.

From the incense burner, a graceful fragrance kept wafting out that would greatly enhance the cultivation of any low-level Martial Artist who smelled it.

“Cangyunzi’s journey will surely be in vain,” the black-robed Taoist suddenly said.

The white-robed Taoist gave a slight smile: “I’m aware of that.”

The black-robed Taoist opened his eyes. His eyes were ordinary, like those of a common man, not surrounded by colorful clouds like the white-robed Taoist’s.

But his eyes seemed to see through people’s hearts, carrying depth and profundity.

“Supreme Palace and True Martial Hall have indeed played a good hand. After suffering a setback at the hands of Fang Lin, they both want to wait for our move. If we do nothing, it would be unacceptable. We can only send Cangyunzi to make a semblance of effort,” the white-robed Taoist said with a sigh.

“That senior might take an interest in Fang Lin,” the black-robed Taoist said, his expression as tranquil as an ancient well.
