Chapter 122: Alliance Broken

As for the elders below, a small portion also tended to agree with Gu He's view.

Anyway, their young sect master has already ended up like this, so a draw or not a draw are pretty much the same.

It would be better to agree with the other side, call it a draw, and still obtain a volume of the Huangji Pill recipe.

At this moment, Fa Gu suddenly stood up and said, "Sect Leader Yun, if your Yun Lan Sect insists on attacking this person before us, then my Alchemist Guild will also be forced to become your enemy."

Hubbub!

Seeing Fa Gu suddenly stand up and speak without any warning, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

They all looked curiously at Yun Yun, wondering what choice she would make.

Although they did not know why Fa Gu had taken Xiao Yan's side.

But with this Dou Huang powerhouse and fifth-rank peak alchemist joining them, if Yun Lan Sect insisted on killing Xiao Yan, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase severalfold.

Moreover, ninety percent of the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire have myriad connections with the Alchemist Guild.

If Yun Lan Sect were to completely break with the Alchemist Guild, then seeking the guild's alchemists to help refine pills would cause the required cost to rise many times over.

Seeing Fa Gu's action, Yao Chen also felt delighted in his heart.

Years ago, while traveling the Northwest Continent, he casually gave some guidance to the youngster before him.

Who would have thought that now he could still step forward to lend a hand—truly, life is full of surprises.

Although Gu He did not know why Fa Gu was doing this, the current situation was more favorable to him.

Looking at Nalan Yanran, who had regained some battle qi and stood in the square, Yun Yun said, "Yanran, why don't you also persuade your teacher? In any case, things have come to this; it would be better to follow what that old gentleman said."

After a pause, Gu He immediately proposed terms: "When the time comes, once my alchemical skill advances, anyone from the Yun Lan Sect or the Nalan family who reaches Dou Huang will receive my free assistance in refining this Huangji Pill; furthermore, after this, I am willing to freely refine a Dou Ling Pill for every Dou Wang elder in the sect and every member of the Nalan family."

Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong nearly fainted from rage.

As an ally, Gu He is already unreliable; now he is trying every means to get the Yun Lan Sect to withdraw.

He has never seen such a piggish teammate in his life.

However, after coming to his senses, he was also dazed by Fa Gu's backing of Xiao Yan.

After all, Fa Gu's combat experience is far inferior to his.

But as a high-ranking Dou Huang, he is not someone whose current strength, still not fully recovered, can defeat.

Moreover, the opposition is not just a single Dou Huang!

Thinking this through, Hai Bo Dong demanded, "Old Man Fa, I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you opposing me like this?"

"Having received someone's favor, I have no choice."

Fa Gu gently closed his eyes, and a soft voice issued from his mouth.

"You."

Seeing his appearance, Hai Bo Dong was also furious to the point of being unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Na Lan Jie and the entourage of the Nalan family, upon hearing that Gu He could freely refine pills for their family, hurriedly gave Nalan Yanran a look, signaling her to persuade Yun Yun.

If this succeeds, then should any member of the Nalan family someday advance to Dou Huang, they could also obtain this precious pill that even Dou Huang powerhouses dream of.

Moreover, even if no one in the Nalan family can reach Dou Huang, they can still use this to establish a connection with the Pill King.

In the future, when high-grade pills are needed, things will be much easier.

And upon hearing their words, Nalan Yanran also realized in her heart that Xiao Yan had just cheated in private.

But considering the value that a volume of the Huangji Pill recipe could bring to the Yun Lan Sect, coupled with the fact that the opposing side's strength is also not weak,

if a fight were to break out, they still do not know how many elders and disciples of the Yun Lan Sect would die.

She bit her lip, lowered her head, and murmured, "Teacher, it is my inadequacy in study that led to the draw just now; blame me if you must, and please do not pursue the previous matters further."

"Yanran, you..."

Yun Yun, upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words and also Fa Gu's recent remarks, became somewhat hesitant.

After all, if they were to fall out with the Alchemist Guild, then having her Yun Lan Sect's disciples seek alchemists to refine pills would become extremely difficult.

Although the Yun Lan Sect does possess a few alchemists, as well as Gu He, a sixth-rank alchemist grand master.

But the number is still too few, utterly unable to supply the tens of thousands of disciples.

Ordinarily, many disciples go out on their own to find alchemists for pill refinement.

If in the future it becomes hard to find alchemists down the mountain, we cannot possibly have Gu He personally refine every pill.

Moreover, Gu He's relationship with her Yun Lan Sect is not particularly strong.

Who knows whether he might leave the Yun Lan Sect tomorrow.

Furthermore, if this time we slight Gu He's face, he will surely be displeased afterward...

Meanwhile, seeing Yun Yun fall into hesitation, Gu He hastily gave a glance to some of the elders nearby.

"Sect Leader, perhaps we should just forget it."

Some of the elders below also stepped forward to advise.

After all, the Alchemist Guild has also stepped forward to oppose the sect, and they would find it hard to deal with so many Dou Huang at once.

Furthermore, if the sect leader agrees, then each of these elders could obtain a free Dou Ling Pill.

How could they not be moved by that?

At this moment, even the usually radical Great Elder Yun Leng fell silent.

Because, given his current cultivation, he might possibly reach Dou Huang in ten or twenty years.

If the sect could obtain that scroll of recipe, would not Gu He also be able to help him refine one?

Such a precious pill, he naturally desires one.

But he also values the sect's reputation greatly.

Thus, torn, he simply kept quiet, letting the sect leader decide however she wished.

And the inherently indecisive Yun Yun, seeing those elders below all say that, also nodded slightly, then stepped back one pace to indicate her agreement.

However, they also reminded, saying: "You two settle your grudge, I don't care, but you must not fight on the grounds of my Yun Lan Sect, lest you injure my sect's disciples."

You...

Hai Bodong gazed at Gu He and the others before him, so angry that for a moment they didn't know what to say.

And likewise, some of the Mi Te Er Clan people who also came here to watch the three-year agreement were also filled with indignation, their gazes fixed hatefully on Gu He.

If it weren't for that person constantly persuading them, those other powerhouses would not have all retreated to their original positions and stopped paying attention to this matter.

Likewise, there was also some resentment toward the Yun Lan Sect and others.

After all, those who could come here were core disciples of the families; after learning Xiao Yan's identity, they also knew that this kid had previously erupted with the combat power of a peak Fighting Emperor.

One Mi Te Er versus this person would basically not end well.

Seeing that the other obstacles had been resolved, Yao Chen's lips also curled up slightly.

Now only this three-star Fighting Emperor Hai Bodong remains before him; dealing with him would be much easier.
