Chapter 723 - 723 723 Despair Descends

Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Despair Descends Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Despair Descends “Greetings to the Heavenly Sword Sect Master!”

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the three great elders stood proudly in the void, and everyone from Xuanmu City paid their respects one after another.

Alchemist Li and Young Master Gong, among others, flew over, their faces filled with respect.

“Heavenly Sword Sect Master, thank you for coming to aid us,” the Gong Family Head said gratefully as he clasped his fists, while others also expressed their thanks.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect said with a faint smile, “You are all too kind.”

“Heavenly Sword Sect Master, it’s that brat! And them!” Young Master Gong was the first to point at Feng Wuchen and angrily accused.

Alchemist Li hastily said with rage, “Heavenly Sword Sect Master, this little bastard is extremely arrogant, swiftly take him down!”

“That’s right! Heavenly Sword Sect Master, this brat, relying on his powerful strength, not only injured us but also wants to eradicate our three great families!” Family Head Liu bellowed in anger.

With the arrival of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the three great elders, each of them felt emboldened, unleashing the anger that they had been suppressing in their hearts.

“The Heavenly Sword Sect Master is at the Sixth Layer of the Tianji Realm, I refuse to believe that brat can defeat the Heavenly Sword Sect Master!”

“Once the Heavenly Sword Sect Master makes his move, that arrogant little bastard won’t survive. If he does, I’ll bite off my own tongue and kill myself!”

“Rest assured, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master won’t let that brat continue to run wild!”

“If that bastard doesn’t die, I’ll hang myself!”

The crowd was clamorous to the extreme, sentencing Feng Wuchen to death, while being highly confident in the Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s strength, to the point of betting with their own lives.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Master initially glanced at Jiang Wu Feng and Family Head Gong among others, and on seeing their injuries, he secretly marveled at the strength of the assailant.

Having personally visited the Heavenly Sword Sect to request their intervention, the Sect Master and the elders were naturally informed by Young Master Gong about Feng Wuchen’s realm being at the First Layer of the Tianji Realm.

At the realm of the First Layer of the Tianji Realm, defeating the Gong Family Head and the others was one thing, but even Jiang Wu Feng, who was at the Fourth Layer of the Tianji Realm, had been defeated by Feng Wuchen.

But when the Heavenly Sword Sect Master curiously turned to look at Feng Wuchen, his previously calm face suddenly twisted dramatically, his body instantly stiffening on the spot.

His dark eyes were also instantly filled with terror.

The Sect Master had only taken one look and felt his Soul Body was shocked into listlessness.

When the three great elders saw Feng Wuchen in an instant, their aged faces changed dramatically too, as if they had seen a demon, no, something even more terrifying than a demon.

The horrific scenes that had taken place on Lin Moyang’s grand birthday celebration uncontrollably resurfaced in their minds at that very moment.

“Heavenly Sword Sect Master, three elders, what’s wrong with you all?” Noticing the terror on the faces of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the others, Jiang Wu Feng felt a tremor in his heart, as if he had realized something, but still found it hard to believe, and couldn’t help asking.

Alchemist Li, Family Head Gong, and several others also sensed something amiss, their hearts skipping a beat as the joy on their faces vanished, and their hearts leapt to their throats.

Alchemist Li and the others had also realized something, as despair slowly surfaced on their faces.

“Heavenly Sword Sect Master, that brat is utterly arrogant, please make haste to kill him!” Family Head Huang, who had been glaring at Feng Wuchen, hadn’t noticed the frightened look on the faces of the Sect Master and the others.

“Slap!”

“Puh!”

As soon as Family Head Huang’s words fell, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master backhandedly slapped him, the crisp sound of the slap echoed followed by Huang spitting out blood, his body flying over ten meters away, even dislodging two of his teeth.

The sudden move by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect scared the soul out of Jiang Wu Feng and the others.

At this moment, Jiang Wu Feng and Alchemist Li had fully confirmed their suspicions.

This slap plunged the Huang Family Head into confusion and gave everyone in Xuanmu City a huge scare.

What was happening?

Why had the Heavenly Sword Sect Master struck the Huang Family Head?

The people of Xuanmu City were utterly baffled, completely clueless about the situation, their heads filled with questions.

“Heavenly Sword Sect Master, you…what are you doing?” the bewildered Huang Family Head asked, struggling to suppress his rage.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the three great elders ignored him completely, and with a panic-stricken flash, they appeared before Feng Wuchen, greeting him with clasped hands and respectful bows amidst the extremely fearful gazes of Jiang Wufeng, everyone in Xuanmu City, and others.

“Greetings to the Alchemy Emperor!” the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the three great elders called out respectfully.

Seeing the four of them so respectful, everyone present was stunned, as their “Sanhun” seemed to be vying to flee their very bodies.

“Alchemy Emperor?” Jiang Wufeng and the others were startled, having never heard of it and utterly unaware of what it signified.

“What? Alchemy Emperor?” But it was different for Alchemist Li. As a Fifth Grade Alchemist, even though he had not attended the Illusion Sea Realm alchemy conference, he had heard of the Alchemy Emperor’s formidable reputation from other alchemists!

Hearing Master Li’s terrified and incredulous exclamation, everyone, including Jiang Wufeng, turned to look at him.

“He…he really is the Alchemy…Alchemy Emperor…” Master Li trembled in fear, his old eyes filled with despair as if he had suddenly descended into the eighteenth level of hell, his body going limp in an instant.

“Master Li, what exactly is the status of the Alchemy Emperor?” the Gong Family Head asked impatiently, very anxiously.

Master Li was so scared that he was beside himself with fear and couldn’t even speak.

If Master Li didn’t speak, it would drive Jiang Wufeng and the others crazy with frustration.

“Alchemy Emperor, I didn’t know you were present. I have given grave offense, and I seek your forgiveness!” the Heavenly Sword Sect Master quickly spoke out in panic, his back drenched in cold sweat, unbearably frightened.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s heart was filled with panic at this moment, his rage was even greater, wishing he could kill all the Gong Family and their allies on the spot!

Offending others might still leave you a chance to live, but offending Feng Wuchen would be unimaginable.

“We seek the Alchemy Emperor’s forgiveness!” the three great elders also pleaded in terror.

Although they had previously sought help from the Dragon God Palace and Feng Wuchen hadn’t agreed, even fostering some resentment in the Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s heart, he didn’t dare to show any disrespect in front of Feng Wuchen.

Especially since the Heavenly Sword Sect Master had also learned of Feng Wuchen’s establishment of the Dragon God Alliance, he dared not offend Feng Wuchen even more.

Watching the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the three great elders begging in terror, the people of Xuanmu City were even more shocked. The cultivators who had bet on Feng Wuchen’s certain death were now nowhere to be seen.

Feng Wuchen said indifferently, “Ignorance is not guilt.”

“Thank you, Alchemy Emperor! Thank you, Alchemy Emperor!” The Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the three great elders heaved a sigh of relief, originally worried that they would not live to see another day, and that the Heavenly Sword Sect might even be implicated.

Afterward, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master said, “Alchemy Emperor, I have a general understanding of the situation. Please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation.”

“That will be fine,” Feng Wuchen nodded, not rejecting the offer.

As the Heavenly Sword Sect Master turned around, his face twisted with ferocity and gloom, radiating killing intent.

“You worthless things! If you wish to die, die far away, and don’t drag me into it! Offending the Alchemy Emperor, none of you shall live!” the Heavenly Sword Sect Master berated Jiang Wufeng and the others furiously, not even considering Master Li worth his attention.

What was Master Li? In front of the Alchemy Emperor, he was nothing!

Seeing the fierce and killing-intent-filled Heavenly Sword Sect Master, despair consumed Jiang Wufeng and the others.
