Of course, what Duan Hai was really worried about was the fact that he brought Yang Kai back to Bright Thunder Spirit Religion from Du Wanβs place.
Just now, Xu Qi had said to him that someone of Old Man Duβs status was unlike to ever visit Bright Thunder Spirit Religion in person, but only an hour later Du Wan had appeared in front of him
Duan Haiβs heart pounded as he tried his best to maintain his computer, somehow forcing out a big laugh as he stepping forward and politely bowed, βGreetings, Old Man Du.β
He then turned to Cang Yan and cupped his fists, βBrother Cang Yan.β
Du Wan nodded slightly in response while Cang Yang said nothing.
Xia Cheng Yin quickly picked up the conversation, βElder Duan has worked hard, sit down.β
Duan Hai took a seat, his expression a bit unnatural because Cang Yan of Soaring Heaven Sectβs pair of sharp eyes had been staring at him the whole time, an aggressive light flashing across them, making him feel a bit uneasy.
As if realizing Duan Haiβs inner turmoil, Cang Yanβs glare became even more intense.
Letting out a dry cough, Duan Hai asked, βMay I ask what matter Religion Master has summoned me for?β
βNothing important,β Xia Cheng Yin smiled, βOld Man Du and Brother Cang Yan just came here to find someone in our Spirit Religion.β
βFind someone?β Duan Haiβs uneasiness grew even stronger, his face twitching slightly as he forced himself to keep smiling and asked, βWho might they be looking for?β
He had a premonition things were about to become bad.
βThe young man you brought here from the Alchemist Guild two months ago,β Du Wan said in a friendly tone.
Duan Hai desperately wanted to cry but was unable to shed any tears while in his heart he was cursing Xu Qiβs eighteen generations of ancestors, saying that a man of Old Man Duβs status would never come to Bright Thunder Spirit Religion. Β A powerful sense of helplessness overcame Duan Hai.
Although he was greatly flustered inside, Duan Hai didnβt reveal anything on his face as his thoughts turned quickly, trying to find a way to resolve the immediate problem.
βElder Duan?β Old Man Du quickly noticed that Duan Hai seemed to be somewhat disturbed and quickly asked.
βEh, ahβ¦β Duan Hai quickly adjusted his expression.
βHow has my little friend been since coming to your Spirit Religion?β Du Wan asked with concern.
βVery good, I have sent a young female disciple with excellent aptitude and good looks to attend to any of his needs these past two months. Β Honored Guest Yang has also produced a lot of high quality Spirit Grade pills for my Spirit Religion.β
βEn, naturally, in some places, little friend Yangβs understanding of the Alchemic Way and his techniques are far superior to even this old master.β
As soon as this was said, Xia Cheng Yin and Cang Yan both stared towards Du Wan in shock.
βThis old master isnβt exaggerating. The truth is, I believe little friend Yangβs Alchemy technique was taught to him by an incredibly powerful master.β
Duan Hai face nearly drained of all colour. Β From the words of Du Wan, he realized that he had made a big mistake. [How did that little brat really have a strong background? Β Which top Alchemist was he the disciple of? Otherwise, how could Old Man Du have given him such a high evaluation?]
In an instant, Duan Hai felt his hands and feet go numb as cold sweat dripped down his back.
βIs this Honoured Guest so incredible?β Xia Cheng Yin also showed a look of interest, βBeing able to hire such an outstanding character, it is my Spirit Religionβs good fortune indeed! Β Duan Hai, you must not be negligent with his treatment, offer him the very best conditions, otherwise, Brother Cang Yan might very well snatch him from us.β
The corner of Duan Haiβs mouth twitched violently as he let out a strained laugh and nodded, βSubordinate will do his best.β
βEn, where is he now? Β Old Man Du and Brother Cang Yan both wish to see him. Duan Hai, quickly invite him here,β Xia Cheng Yin wore a look of anticipation, very much wanting to see Yang Kai, wondering what kind of person he was to receive such high praise from Old Man Du.
Duan Haiβs forehead couldnβt help leaking a drop of sweat as he sat in place, not moving.
βWhy are you just sitting there?β Xia Cheng Yin asked slightly unhappily.
βReligion Masterβ¦β Duan Haiβs expression cramped as he stammered with great difficulty, βRight nowβ¦ Iβm afraidβ¦ itβs slightly inconvenient for him to come here.β
βWhy isnβt it convenient?β Cang Yan, who had not spoken since Duan Haiβs arrival, suddenly asked coldly, his expression extremely unfriendly.
Duan Hai trying to shirk responsibility like this in such an unnatural tone made Cang Yan quickly realize something wasnβt right, focusing a sharp glare on Duan Hai as he coldly interrogated, βIt couldnβt be, heβs had some kind of accident?β
βNo, no, he hasnβt been involved in any kind of accident,β Duan Hai quickly waved his hand, βItβs just, itβs really not convenient for him to come here right now.β
βDuan Hai!β Xia Cheng Yinβs expression also became somewhat disgruntled, βWhat are you trying to say? Β Old Man Du and Brother Cang Yan traveled all this way specifically to see this Honoured Guest, how can you stubbornly refuse them? Β This is not how my Spirit Religion shows hospitality.β
βReligion Masterβ¦β
βWhere is he now?β Xia Cheng Yin asked impatiently.
Knowing that trying to avoid the subject any further would only make things worse, Duan Hai grit his teeth and replied, βThe Wind Eye.β
βWhy would he be at the Wind Eye?β Du Wanβs expression changed dramatically.
Bright Thunder Spirit Religionβs Wind Eye and Thunder Eye, naturally Du Wan had heard about them. Β The two restricted areas were holy lands for those who cultivated Wind or Thunder Attribute Secret Arts or Marital Skills, but what would an Alchemist like Yang Kai need to visit the Wind Eye?
βEarlier, he said he wanted to refine a pill with the help of the power of the Wind Eye, so I brought him there,β Duan Haiβs mind flashed, thinking up a good excuse.
Cang Yan turned his eyes to Du Wan questioningly.
Du Wan nodded slightly in response, βItβs possible, some Alchemists can take advantage of the powers of Heaven and Earth to perform some special Alchemy techniques, often allowing them to gain twice the result with half the effort, but doing so requires profound skill and methods. Β Little friend Yangβs abilities are really worthy of praise.β
Duan Hai couldnβt help breathing a sigh of relief, realizing that the random excuse he came up with was at least somewhat reasonable.
βSince he is currently making use of the Wind Eye, perhaps you two would like to stay a few days in my Spirit Religion while we wait for that Honoured Guest comes out?β Β Xia Cheng Yin asked Old Man Du and Cang Yan.
Old Man Du smiled lightly, βThis old master doesnβt mind, Cang Yan, whatβs your opinion?β
βI want to see him now!β Cang Yan declared firmly, his expression indifferent as he spoke this unreasonable request without any hesitation.
Xia Cheng Yin laughed awkwardly, βBrother Cang Yan, you must have heard that the Wind Eye and Thunder Eye are both restricted areas of my Spirit Religion. Β Outsiders are not allowed to step inside them, and if we were to all suddenly show up there, it may disturb that Honoured Guestβs Alchemy. Why not wait a few days instead?β
βWhat bullshit restricted area!β Β Cang Yan sneered disdainfully, in the next moment fully releasing his Divine Sense, obviously not willing to speak any more nonsense with these two from Bright Thunder Spirit Religion. Β After searching for a moment, he stood up, shot out of the palace, and flew directly towards the location of the Wind Eye.
βHey, Brother Cang Yan!β Duan Hai was shocked and wanted to stop him but he was a step too late.
βThis uncle really has an anxious temper,β Mi Na, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, saw Cang Yan fly off and showed an excited look, quickly urging Du Wan, βOld Man Du, letβs go too.β
Du Wan shot a glance over at Xia Cheng Yin and saw that the latterβs expression was quite unpleasant. Β Cang Yan not giving him any face had obviously made him somewhat annoyed, but since the former was already gone, it was pointless for him to get angry so he just nodded and said, βWe might as well all go take a look.β
Saying so, Xia Cheng Yin also stood up.
βIf so, then Iβll thank Religion Master Xia in advance,β Du Wan apologized.
βOld Man Du is too polite,β Xia Cheng Yin naturally dared not accuse this Saint Grade Alchemist.
And so, this group of people hurriedly pursued Cang Yan quickly towards the Wind Eye.
Duan Haiβs face was, by now, a pale shade of white, as his mind was a complete mess. Β He thought that he could delay things for a day or two and then use that time to escape from Bright Thunder Spirit Religion to avoid this disaster, but he hadnβt expected to fall short at the last moment.
If he tried to leave now, it would only draw more suspicion towards him.
Behind Xia Cheng Yin and Du Wan, Duan Haiβs mood was complex as he thought to himself that he had quite possibly made a grave mistake.
A short time later, everyone arrived at the location of the Wind Eye, Cang Yan landing first.
Staring at the floating whirlpool filled with rich Wind Attribute energy, Cang Yan couldnβt help revealing a hint of dread. Β Such concentrated destructive power was enough to cause even him to shrink back slightly.
Glancing around the surrounding area and not noticing any trace of Yang Kai, Cang Yanβs expression quickly became ugly.
Xu Qi, who had been standing there the whole time, was somewhat shocked, unable to understand what was going on. Β After seeing Xia Cheng Yin and Du Wan though, Xu Qiβs heart jumped, quickly pretending to be calm and stepped forward to politely greet them, asking Duan Hai in the next moment, βSenior Brother, whatβs all this about?β
βOld Man Du and Cang Yan are here to observe Honoured Guest Yangβs Alchemy,β Duan Hai replied casually.
Xu Qi blinked a few times and instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Duan Haiβs words.
As fellow brothers, the two of them had worked together for many years, and although they couldnβt say they understood everyone the other was thinking without any words, this brief eye contact and set of simple words had allowed Xu Qi to understand what Duan Hai really wanted to say.
βWhere is he?β Β Cang Yan turned his head and stared gloomily towards Duan Hai.
Duan Hai opened his mouth but didnβt know how to answer, quickly turning to look at Xu Qi, βJunior Brother, where is Honoured Guest Yang? Β When I left a moment ago, wasnβt he right here?β
Xu Qi understood immediately and replied, βHe entered the core of the Wind Eye, saying it was more convenient for him to perform Alchemy there.β
βEntered the core?β Everyoneβs cried out in shock, their expressions going pale.
βHow could he enter the core?β Old Man Duβs lips trembled, βForget about him only being at the Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary, even if he was a Third Order Transcendent, entering the Wind Eyeβs core would still be a death sentence! Β How could you let him do that!?β
Xu Qi smiled awkwardly and replied, βI couldnβt stop him, Honoured Guest Yang said not to worry and that he had his own method of protecting himself.β
βThisβ¦thisβ¦β Du Wan wore a look filled with anxiety.
Cang Yan on the other hand didnβt say anything, releasing his powerful Divine Sense again, piercing it into the raging Wind Eye, a moment later letting out a painful roar and stumbling back a few steps, his face pale.
He wanted to use his Divine Sense to explore the inside of the Wind Eye and inevitably suffered some damage as a result.
Cang Yanβs eyes flashed as he turned to stare coldly at Duan Hai and Xu Qi, βDid he enter on his own, or was he thrown in?β
Xia Cheng Yin frowned and angrily said, βWhat does Brother Cang Yan mean? Β Do you think my Spirit Religionβs Elder will harm an Honoured Guest?β
Cang Yan smiled coldly, his eagle-like eyes glaring towards Duan Hai and Xu Qi as his aura became dangerous.
Duan Hai and Xu Qi didnβt dare return his stare, shifting their eyes away awkwardly.
Du Wan also noticed this and his old face couldnβt help sinking, seeing Duan Hai continuously try to avoid responsibility really was suspicious.
The people here were all powerful and experienced masters, naturally none of them was an idiot; although Duan Hai and Xu Qi sang the same tune, the lie they had woven was by no means perfect, everyone had seen some clues by now.
βWhat exactly happened?β Β Xia Cheng Yinβs expression became sullen as he questioned the two Elders coldly, βBrother Cang Yan is accusing my Spirit Religion of impropriety, so you two should give me a clear explanation and rebuttal!β
βReligion Master, please understand!β Duan Hai shouted, βHonoured Guest Yangβs Alchemy skill is outstanding, we could not favour him enough! Β How could we possibly harm him?β
