Chapter 667: line with translation of chapter title

The Pill Assembly is the grandest competition in the Zhongzhou alchemy world, and countless alchemists hope to gain fame in Zhongzhou Continent through this event.

In order to stand out at the Pill Assembly, participants of each session have poured countless efforts and sweat into the long preparation period.

They all hope to compete against the heroes on the stage where countless Zhongzhou alchemy geniuses gather!

However, this group of Zhongzhou geniuses soon encountered a pre‑match warm‑up race—a traffic jam—inside the Space Wormhole on their way to Shengdan City.

Indeed, a traffic jam even formed inside this Space Wormhole, which is rare.

Lin Feng and his group were also extremely "fortunate" to be stuck in the Space Wormhole over a hundred li from Shengdan City, unable to move.

Of course, Lin Feng also considered directly piercing the void to reach Shengdan City.

However, upon seeing Elder Ye Chong, whose strength was only at the Dou Zong level, he had to abandon that idea.

Moreover, even setting aside Elder Ye Chong, his physically frail little wife could not manage that either.

After all, even a Dou Zong cannot withstand the space storm, let alone a Dou Huang endure its tearing.

However, when Ye Xinlan, who had frequently traveled between Shengdan City and Ye City since childhood, saw the long dragon of her own group ahead, she was startled into a dazed expression.

After all, she had never before seen Shengdan City produce such a huge number of fifth‑rank or higher alchemists at once!

Fortunately, Lin Feng's group was blocked in this passage for only one day before reaching the exit of the Space Wormhole.

After crossing the white light at the end of that space passage, several people successfully returned to the ground.

And when Lin Feng landed at the Space Wormhole docking point of Shengdan City, he finally witnessed the terrifying allure of the Pill Assembly.

At the moment they exited the Space Wormhole, a piercing, noise‑like clamor surged, almost filling the heavens and earth as it drilled into their ears.

At the same time, wherever they looked, there were silhouettes of alchemists in various colors, almost dazzling their eyes.

At this moment, the red‑stone plaza of the Space Wormhole docking point here left them unable to see any original color.

One can see how terrifying the number of people crowded here is.

Moreover, you should know that Shengdan City actually has eight such Space Wormhole docking points!

"There are simply too many people here; let's go to Ye Institute first."

Lin Feng swept his gaze around and then helplessly said to everyone.

He had originally planned to go to the market after arriving in Shengdan City to see if there were any good items.

But judging by the scene before him, he didn't know how long it would take to squeeze through to get there.

Therefore, Lin Feng wisely chose to give up.

The rest of the people, upon hearing Lin Feng's suggestion, all nodded and agreed.

Anyway, they had nothing else to do, so it was better to leave this creepy place early.

Seeing this, Lin Feng turned first and headed toward the Ye Institute.

The others followed suit.

When Lin Feng and his group arrived in Shengdan City, Xiao Yan, who had been fiercely battling the Soul Hall in the southern region of Zhongzhou, also temporarily chose a ceasefire and headed to the Dan Region to participate in the Pill Assembly.

During these two months, many forces in southern Zhongzhou lived in anxiety.

Because the Falling Star Pavilion and the Soul Hall, for unknown reasons, suddenly began exchanging blows two months ago, and the two sides instantly fell into full‑scale combat.

Each side would slaughter a city of the other today, and the next day set an ambush to kill a group of the other's guardians.

Initially, all the forces of Zhongzhou thought the Falling Star Pavilion would soon yield.

And this farce was about to end.

However, surprisingly, although the Falling Star Pavilion suffered heavy losses and fell into a disadvantage in its war with the Soul Hall, it showed not the slightest sign of yielding.

It stubbornly resisted Zhongzhou's foremost surface power for over two months.

Although this was partly because the Soul Hall did not pay much attention to the Falling Star Pavilion and the three heads of the Pill Tower helped behind the scenes.

Nevertheless, this stubbornness drew the attention of many forces, who looked at it with new eyes.

Moreover, the high levels of the Pill Tower, regarding the three heads using Pill Tower power to seek Soul Hall information and leak it to Xiao Yan, also chose to ignore this move this time.

Although they disliked Xiao Yan greatly, their hatred of the Soul Hall was still greater than their aversion to him.

However, this behavior also made the Soul Hall even more furious toward the Pill Tower.

However, what puzzled everyone was why the Falling Star Pavilion.

When seeking revenge on the Soul Hall by raiding its branches, it does not stay fixed in one area but runs all over the continent.

Wherever a Soul Hall branch exists, the Falling Star Pavilion will probe it a few times regardless of the branch's defensive strength or the likelihood of success.

It looks as if they are searching for something.

Even if the Soul Hall did not pay much attention to this little mouse.

But Xiao Yan and Wind Venerable's reckless behavior also severely wounded the Falling Star Pavilion's vitality.

Inside, the original strong ones are basically either dead or have fled.

At present, the main force of the Falling Star Pavilion consists entirely of a few Dou Zong experts hastily assembled by relying on the three heads.

After all, the Soul Hall's prestige in Zhongzhou is truly immense.

Upon learning they would have to oppose the Soul Hall, ninety‑nine percent of Dou Zong experts chose to flee.

And before this, the senior leaders of the Falling Star Pavilion had repeatedly urged Wind Venerable to stop those meaningless actions.

However, their suggestions were firmly rejected by Wind Venerable.

After all, in his heart, as long as he could rescue that person.

Even if it meant destroying the Falling Star Pavilion he had painstakingly built over a hundred years, he would not hesitate!

Just as Xiao Yan rushed to the Dan Region to participate in the Pill Assembly, Lin Feng, who had just arrived at the Ye Institute, was informed by a servant that members of the Dan and Cao families had come outside, asking for him by name.

Hearing this news, Lin Feng felt a slight doubt in his heart.

"The Dan family came to my door as soon as I arrived at the Ye Institute; they surely aren't coming to question me in force, are they?"

Thinking back to the ambiguous moment he had shared with Dan Chen, which many experts of the Xiao Dan Tower had walked in on, Lin Feng muttered to himself.

Immediately afterwards, he told the servant, "Please have them come to the reception room."

Having said that, after informing his three wives and the Ye family members, he then set off for the reception room.

After all, no matter what the other party intends, we need to see the person first before speaking.

As for the others, they continued walking to other parts of the Ye estate.

And not long after Lin Feng had just arrived at the reception room, the servant brought in two elderly men.

Seeing this, the former's gaze swiftly swept over the two of them.

The insignia on these two people's clothing was indeed that of the Dan family and the Cao family.
