Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 Chapter 975 Traitorous Senior Brother

Chapter 976: Chapter 975: Traitorous Senior Brother? Chapter 976: Chapter 975: Traitorous Senior Brother? Chen Ming snorted coldly, his expression grim, “You, Master Fang Lin, are a rare genius; I dare not presume to instruct you. The purpose of our visit is clear to you–we are here merely to exchange for the fire seed in your possession.”

Fang Lin smiled lightly, “Then you are also well aware of my stance. If you can present treasures like Dragon Bone Phoenix Blood, perhaps I might consider an exchange with you.”

At these words, Chen Ming and the others all had ugly expressions on their faces. How rare and precious were Dragon Bone Phoenix Blood? Even scouring the entire Nine Countries, it would be difficult to find these items.

“Are you deliberately mocking us?” Chen Ming said coldly.

Fang Lin’s expression was also far from pleasant as he lightly curled his lips, “Still don’t understand what I mean? I will not exchange the fire seed with you.”

Chen Ming stared at Fang Lin, “You already possess three kinds of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, yet do you still delusionally wish to refine a fourth kind?”

“Heh, what’s it to you?” Fang Lin was completely impatient, unwilling to waste any more time and words on these fellows.

Chen Ming’s face was extremely unsightly. He was, after all, a highly experienced Master of Pill, yet Fang Lin didn’t take him seriously at all, treating him with flippant words.

“Let’s go,” said Fang Lin as he turned around, no longer paying any attention to Chen Ming and his group, and directly left with the others by his side.

“Elder Chen, are we just going to let Fang Lin go like this?” someone asked unwillingly.

Chen Ming clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, “This young man is a disciple of Elder Tiankui; we cannot force him aggressively. However, with the boy being so arrogant and rude, I must teach him a small lesson.”

With that, Chen Ming pulled out a Nine Palace Bag and took out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip, seemingly conversing with someone.

A moment later, Chen Ming put away the Jade Slip, with a cold sneer on his face, “Someone will take action along the way to discipline the lad.”

Upon hearing this, all were surprised. Chen Ming actually dared to arrange for someone to teach a lesson to a disciple of Elder Tiankui?

“Elder Chen, isn’t this inappropriate? If Elder Tiankui finds out, we fear that…” someone said cautiously.

Chen Ming looked indifferent, “As long as you all keep quiet, Elder Tiankui will not know of this matter.”

The rest exchanged glances and then refrained from asking anything more.

…

On a simple flying boat, Fang Lin conversed with seven Grandmasters of Pill, their exchange quite cheerful.

“Aside from taking a disciple thirty years ago, Elder has not taken any others. We all thought Elder would not take another disciple, but to think, Brother Fang, you became the second disciple of Elder, truly causing us no small amount of envy,” said one person, his words filled with a touch of envy and emotion.

To be accepted as a disciple by Elder Tiankui was an extraordinary honor; it was like ascending to the heavens, granting an immediate high status and position within the Pill Alliance.

These Grandmasters of Pill had followed Elder Tiankui for many years and naturally also wished to become his disciple.

Unfortunately, they were all past the most suitable age and, coupled with limited talent, were unable to become Tiankui’s disciples.

Hearing this, Fang Lin felt even more puzzled, “My Master had taken another disciple thirty years ago?”

Hearing Fang Lin ask about this, the previous speaker’s expression changed slightly, and the others looked similarly apprehensive, as if the topic were taboo.

Fang Lin frowned, “Could it be that my senior brother is not to be mentioned?”

The few shared looks of unspoken understanding, with one of them speaking, “Fang Lin, indeed, it’s not a good topic to bring up, but since you are also a disciple of Elder Tiankui, it is not a problem to inform you.”

Thereupon, Fang Lin learned of a past event from the few of them.

Thirty years ago, Elder Tiankui took his first disciple ever, treating him as his own child and placing great importance on him, imparting all his skills to this disciple.

This person was also extraordinarily talented, celebrated as one of the most outstanding young individuals in the Pill Alliance at that time, and some even regarded him as the very best among them.

Just as many in the Pill Alliance believed that this individual would surely inherit Elder Tiankui’s mantle and had a bright future ahead, an unforeseen event occurred.

He killed Elder Tiankui’s son, who was also Ye Mengxian’s father, and the reasons for this act remained unknown.

Devastated by the death of his child, Elder Tiankui was engulfed in immense rage and sought to suppress the killer.

However, the man reacted quickly and seemed to have assistance from someone in the shadows, managing to escape from the Pill Alliance and the Nine Countries, fleeing far across the Seven Seas.

Finding refuge in the Seven Seas, even Elder Tiankui found it difficult to locate him.

Thirty years have passed since the incident, but many still remember Elder Tiankui’s fury at the time.

For those in Elder Tiankui’s lineage, the matter was taboo, rarely mentioned by anyone.

“Alas, I had some acquaintance with him back in the day; I never imagined such a thing could happen,” someone said as they shook their head and sighed.

Fang Lin’s expression was also somewhat somber, not expecting such an event had taken place, no wonder he had never heard Ye Mengxian or Elder Tiankui mention Ye Mengxian’s parents.

“After so many years, has there been no news of that man at all?” Fang Lin inquired.

All present shook their heads. Thirty years had passed, and Elder Tiankui hadn’t given up; he continued to send people to the Seven Seas and even went there himself, but he never found the man.

Perhaps he was still alive, perhaps he had died.

Fang Lin didn’t ask anything further, nor would he ask Ye Mengxian or Elder Tiankui about it, as it was a past they were unwilling to discuss.

Just then, an extremely formidable aura suddenly descended, violently shaking the flying boat.

The flying boat trembled violently, as if it would disintegrate in an instant.

“Who goes there?” everyone furiously exclaimed. They were all grandmasters of the Pill Alliance, extraordinary in status, and yet someone dared to attack them on the road.

Fang Lin immediately opened his Spirit Eye and saw two figures in the depths of the sky.

Without any hesitation, Fang Lin threw a punch, the Kylin Fist imprint emerging and shooting straight towards those two among the clouds.

“Hmph!” one of the two figures snorted coldly, striking out boldly with a finger that sent a swift and forceful ray whistling forward.

Boom!!!

The fist imprint collided with the finger ray, and their Inner Strength clashed in the sky, causing the clouds to disperse and fierce winds to sweep across.

Fang Lin’s figure staggered backwards repeatedly, with a trace of shock on his face.

“Spirit Bone!” Fang Lin murmured to himself, a look of solemnity appearing in his eyes.

Though it was just a single exchange, the opponent’s profound aura was undoubtedly that of a Spirit Bone realm powerhouse.

The seven on the flying boat also showed expressions of shock, clearly not expecting a Spirit Bone expert to assail them.

“This kid is not bad. Able to withstand my finger at the Spirit Vein realm, quite interesting,” said the two figures, finally revealing themselves fully.
