Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Dan Emperor, Spare My Life Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Dan Emperor, Spare My Life âAn Alchemist Emperor? He is the Alchemist Emperor?â
âHow is this possible? He is actually the Alchemist Emperor! I heard he is the master of the Zhang familyâs young master Zhang!â
âAlchemist Emperor? Never heard of this person before.â
âMe neither.â
In the mountains near Xuanhuo Mountain, all the cultivators who knew of the Alchemist Emperorâs identity were shocked, their eyes widening as they looked at Feng Wuchen.
The cultivators who did not know what the Alchemist Emperorâs identity entailed were both puzzled and curious.
The identity of the Alchemist Emperor wasnât widely known, but the powerful forces within the Wuji Domain were very clear about it.
During Lin Moyangâs birthday celebration, the forces within the Wuji Domain had already learned of Feng Wuchenâs identity, and the Family Head of Xuanhou Villa was also present.
Therefore, Hou Yunchong knew Feng Wuchen was the Alchemist Emperor.
Although Hou Yunchong had never met Feng Wuchen, he would rather believe it was true than to risk offending him.
âBrother Gu, have you ever heard of the Alchemist Emperor?â Ruoshui asked with confusion.
Gu Ding slightly shook his head, his gaze shifting to the people around him, and said, âIâve never heard of him. It seems not many people here know what the Alchemist Emperor is either.â
After pausing, Gu Ding added, âHowever, to make Hou Yunchong and Family Head Zhao bow their heads and beg for mercy in such terror, Brother Fengâs identity must be terrifying.â
Ruoshui nodded without doubt, admiration twinkling in her beautiful eyes.
Feng Wuchenâs overwhelmingly powerful strength, coupled with the respect from four leading experts like Master He, as well as his mysterious and formidable identity, seemed to have already captured Ruoshuiâs heart.
Feng Wuchen was so young yet had achieved such against-the-heavens accomplishments; which woman wouldnât be moved?
High above, Feng Wuchen looked down at Hou Yunchong and said indifferently, âIn consideration of your father, I will spare you this time. Get lost.â
âYes, yes! Thank you, Alchemist Emperor! Thank you, Alchemist Emperor!â Hou Yunchong kept on thanking him, overwhelmed with relief.
Hou Yunchong did not dare to stay any longer, nor did he care about the life and death of Zhao Haiyun and the others, and immediately fled with a flash.
âBrother Hou!â Zhao Haiyun was utterly despondent, realizing that Hou Yunchong no longer cared about his fate.
Hou Yunchong was lucky to save his own life; how could he dare to intervene any further?
Even though they were sworn brothers, when faced with death, Hou Yunchong still chose to abandon his brother!
In times of great disaster, each flies on his own.
âGurgleâŠâ
Swallowing his saliva in utmost fear, Zhao Haiyunâs eyes, filled with despair, looked at Feng Wuchen, filled with immense regret.
âHow do you want to die?â Feng Wuchen asked coldly at the moment when Zhao Haiyunâs despairing gaze met his.
âAlchemist Emperor, please spare my life! Alchemist Emperor, please spare my life!â Zhao Haiyun begged, his voice shaking with sobs.
âAlchemist Emperor, we were unaware of the Alchemist Emperorâs identity. We beg you to show mercy and spare my childâs life,â Zhao Tianzheng pleaded urgently.
âWe beg the Alchemist Emperor for forgiveness!â The high-ranking members of the Zhao family prostrated themselves, begging for mercy, knowing their certain death if they did not.
Feng Wuchen remained silent, his face still cold, which made Zhao Tianzheng and the others even more panicked.
Feng Wuchen took a step through the void, and in the next instant, he mysteriously appeared in front of Zhao Haiyun. Zhao Haiyun was so scared that he became desperate and frantically continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
âBang!â
âPfft!â
Feng Wuchen appeared in an instant, slapping his palm on Zhao Haiyunâs Tianling cover. With a muffled âbang,â the impact made Zhao Haiyun spurt fresh blood from his mouth.
Upon seeing Feng Wuchen make his move, the spectators held their breaths.
âYunâer!â Zhao Tianzheng cried out in horror, his heart nearly leaped from his chest in fright.
Zhao Haiyun was the sole heir of the Zhao family, and if he were killed, the Zhao family line would be severed.
Just when everyone thought Feng Wuchen was about to deliver a killing blow, they realized that a tremendous force had dissipated from Zhao Haiyunâs body.
Zhao Haiyunâs cultivation had been crippled by Feng Wuchen!
The cultivation of Heavenly Human Realm Fourth Layer was completely scattered, and even his status as a Fourth-Rank Inscription Master had been ruined!
âThe young masterâs cultivation has been⊠ruinedâŠâ the Second Elder exclaimed in horror.
âCultivation scattered! The young masterâs cultivation has been scattered!â the Zhao familyâs upper echelons cried out in shock.
Zhao Tianzheng felt an agonizing pain as though his heart was being torn apart, Zhao Haiyunâs cultivation was crippled, dooming him to be a cripple for the rest of his life!
âDeath penalty can be spared, but you canât escape the living punishment, this time you will be let go,â Feng Wuchen said icily.
âThank you, Alchemist, for sparing my life! Thank you, Alchemist, for your mercy!â Zhao Haiyun, shaken to his core, was overjoyed just to keep his life, and he felt no anger whatsoever at his cultivation being crippled.
To live is better than anything else.
âFamily Head Zhao, take your son and get out,â Feng Wuchen said coldly.
âThank you, Alchemist!â Zhao Tianzheng bowed respectfully, his heart ached, but to preserve the lineage of the Zhao family was indeed a great fortune amidst misfortune.
Being a cripple was still better than being killed.
Zhao Tianzheng hurriedly took Zhao Haiyun, whose cultivation was crippled, and left, fearing Feng Wuchen might change his mind.
Moreover, since Zhao Haiyunâs cultivation had just been crippled, there might still be a chance to save it.
After Zhao Tianzheng and his group left, Xuanhuo Mountain fell into dead silence, no one daring to speak.
The terrifying identity of Feng Wuchen had already intimidated everyone present.
Feng Wuchen descended once more to the entrance of the Mysterious Fire Cave, Gu Ding and Ruoshui quickly approached, and the other cultivators followed suit one after another.
âFeng brother⊠Alchemist, thank you for your help,â Gu Ding thanked with respect.
âBig brother Gu Ding is too polite, just call me Feng brother,â Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, without the slightest air of arrogance.
Upon learning of Feng Wuchenâs terrifying cultivation and dreadful identity, Gu Dingâs previous politeness had vanished, replaced by utmost respect, and he even dared not get too close to Feng Wuchen.
Master He and other formidable beings from the four great domains now looked at Feng Wuchen with even more deference, quietly following behind him.
âAlchemist, please!â At a midpoint within the cave, a Fourth-Rank Alchemist said respectfully, indicating for Feng Wuchen to choose a spot to cultivate first.
No one entering the cave again dared to rush forward to seize a spot.
âYou should cultivate, donât mind me,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently, then proceeded deeper into the cave.
The deeper into the cave, the more violent the Fire Attribute energy became, which was more beneficial for cultivation.
Seeing this, Gu Ding, Master He, and the others looked alarmed.
âFeng brother, wait!â Gu Ding called out in panic, hastily trying to stop Feng Wuchen, saying, âFeng brother, you mustnât go in. The evil fire inside is very dangerous; those who went in never came out alive.â
âAlchemist, the evil fire deep in the Mysterious Fire Cave is a dreadful flame nurtured by Xuanhuo Mountain for thousands of years, even more fearsome than the Samadhi True Fire and Beast Fire, reportedly capable of devouring everything!â Master He added.
The others also tried to persuade him.
But what they didnât know was that Feng Wuchen possessed the Primordial Ancient Fire, the most powerful and terrifying flame in the world; the evil fire of Xuanhuo Mountain was nothing for him to worry about.
âThis evil fire cannot harm me,â stated Feng Wuchen as he continued walking deeper into the cave without a hint of hesitation or fear.
Meanwhile, the Wu Fire within Feng Wuchenâs body had once again started to surge wildly, voraciously devouring the Fire Attribute energy that the evil fire emitted.
The horror of this devouring process startled Feng Wuchen internally, as his meridians expanded at a terrifying rate.
