Chapter 313

Luo Feng had been in Rain-Mist City for so long, and although he had heard that low-level Using Hunyuan lifeforms would sneak into Rain-Mist City to assassinate, he hadn't encountered one yet.

His mind was entirely on cultivation, and he hadn't even applied for the 'Elder Assessment.' For Luo Feng, being an Elder also required dispersing his energy, and he needed to focus more on cultivation now!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"

Outside the main building of the Elixir Tower, figures descended, completely blocking the main entrance of the main building. It made the customers who came to buy elixirs tremble, and one by one, they immediately hid far away.

"It's the Insect Nest."

"Cultivators from the Insect Nest! It seems a big conflict is about to happen between the Insect Nest and the Elixir Tower; let's not get involved."

Many customers left quickly.

The Elixir Tower's main building was in an uproar, and the attendants and middle-to-high-level members looked at the figures of the cultivators outside the main building with some fear.

"Why did the Insect Nest come?"

"Ever since God Emperor Luo Feng joined our Elixir Tower, we have been expanding our business for 1,500 epochs! The Insect Nest hasn't made a move, are they going to make trouble today?" The members of the Elixir Tower were a bit panicked and naturally reported it immediately.

Soon, the news reached Tower Master Changqing and Luo Feng.

"Brother Luo Feng, members of the Insect Nest have mobilized in large numbers and surrounded the main building of the Elixir Tower," Tower Master Changqing transmitted. "However, bound by the laws within Rain-Mist City, they don't dare to go too far. They should be here to negotiate!"

"Let's see what their intentions are first." Luo Feng was a bit curious.

The Insect Nest Master had been enduring, and finally, she couldn't endure anymore?

Elixir Tower main building.

A tall, scaled man led a group of Insect Nest cultivators into the main building. This tall, scaled man had cold eyes, and a thick, scaled tail was very conspicuous. As he walked into the Elixir Tower, the entire vast space of the Elixir Tower began to distort with him as the center.

This invisible power made the members of the Elixir Tower tremble with fear.

"Elder Elder Sa Luo, why bully some juniors?" Tower Master Changqing appeared, and the formation of the Elixir Tower's main building operated naturally, suppressing the terrifying aura of this tall, scaled man.

Elder Elder Sa Luo, one of the seven high-level members of the Insect Nest, was an existence at the Elder level.

"Tower Master Changqing." Elder Elder Sa Luo's eyes were cold. "I am not here for you."

"Oh?" Tower Master Changqing realized that the Insect Nest's intention was not what he had thought.

"Let your Elixir Tower's 'Alchemist Gu Qingyuan' come out!" Elder Elder Sa Luo said coldly.

"Gu Qingyuan?"

Tower Master Changqing frowned slightly but still gave an order, "Go, invite Gu Qingyuan here."

"Yes." An attendant immediately retreated.

"Elder Elder Sa Luo, Alchemist Gu Qingyuan is one of the seven high-level alchemists of our Elixir Tower, and I value him highly," Tower Master Changqing smiled. "I wonder how he offended you?"

Elder Elder Sa Luo glanced at Tower Master Changqing.

Tower Master Changqing relied on alchemy to obtain resources, while Elder Elder Sa Luo was a combat-oriented type and often hunted in the Dark Sacred World, so naturally, he didn't think much of Tower Master Changqing.

"In a moment, Tower Master Changqing, you will know," Elder Elder Sa Luo said indifferently.

Tower Master Changqing frowned slightly.

Both sides quieted down, and members on both sides didn't dare to make a sound.

Soon—

Alchemist Gu Qingyuan appeared.

A middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, also with the strength of a mid-stage God Emperor Dao-seeker, and his alchemy skills were even more remarkable. With Tower Master Changqing not making a move, the highest alchemy skills in the Elixir Tower were those of the seven high-level alchemists.

"You're here." Gu Qingyuan looked at Elder Elder Sa Luo and the others.

"What? You thought that by hiding in the Elixir Tower, we couldn't do anything to you?" Elder Elder Sa Luo had killing intent in his eyes. "You really have a lot of nerve! In Rain-Mist City, you actually dared to assassinate two of my mid-stage God Emperor Dao-seeker members. According to the laws of Rain-Mist City, killing cultivators in the city, you deserve to die!"

"Do you have evidence?" Gu Qingyuan looked at them.

Elder Elder Sa Luo had anger in his eyes.

Of course, there was no evidence!

The Insect Nest had also spared no cost to deduce that the murderer was Gu Qingyuan!

"Two mid-stage God Emperor Dao-seeker members?" Tower Master Changqing said in surprise from the side. "In Rain-Mist City, to kill such two powerhouses silently without disturbing the defense system of Rain-Mist City... it would be difficult even for an Elder-level existence to make a move."

"He used poison," Elder Elder Sa Luo said. "I asked two good friends to help investigate, probe the traces of past space-time, and probe the karma, only then did I confirm that he was the one who used the poison."

"For no reason, why would I poison two Insect Nest powerhouses?" Gu Qingyuan asked in confusion.

"Your only disciple died, killed in a robbery," Elder Elder Sa Luo looked at Gu Qingyuan. "You suspected that it was those two members of my Insect Nest who robbed and killed him."

"Yes."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and sighed. "My only disciple died; he had accumulated some resources in the city relying on his weapon-refining skills and was cultivating cautiously. But he was still targeted! Just because he bought a treasure, on the way back to his cave dwelling, he was robbed and killed! Before he died, he sent me a message, and I also knew the identities of the two murderers. These two murderers are from your Insect Nest."

"Message before death?" Elder Elder Sa Luo shook his head. "It is entirely possible that it was faked by other robbers! In Rain-Mist City, the methods of disguise are strange and varied. In Rain-Mist City, to determine the murderer, sufficient evidence is needed."

Gu Qingyuan looked at Elder Elder Sa Luo: "My disciple was weak, and I am just an ordinary alchemist; I don't have the ability to poison two mid-stage God Emperor Dao-seeker level existences. Elder Elder Sa Luo, as you said, in Rain-Mist City, to determine the murderer, full evidence is needed."

Elder Elder Sa Luo looked at this alchemist.

He knew very well that the murderer was this alchemist.

"So my Insect Nest made a mistake?" Elder Elder Sa Luo said. "Gu Qingyuan, you just come with me, cooperate with the investigation to prove your innocence! Take Gu Qingyuan away!"

"Why take him away?"

"Without evidence, why take him away?"

Other alchemists in the Elixir Tower were angry.

"Elder Elder Sa Luo!" Tower Master Changqing spoke up. "Without evidence, you want to forcibly take Gu Qingyuan away from me?"

"Because I am an Elder!" Elder Elder Sa Luo looked coldly at Tower Master Changqing and waved his hand to reveal a space-time image. "Based on the past space-time, Gu Qingyuan had close contact with the two deceased; I suspect he is the murderer. I also obtained an order from 'Elder Elder De You'; I should be qualified to take him for investigation, right?"

Elder Elder Sa Luo was very angry.

Two key subordinates were poisoned to death in the city. He had endured this; how could he lead other subordinates?

"Can't let them take Brother Gu away."

"Once taken away, Brother Gu is dead for sure."

"Once taken away, whether he is the murderer or not, isn't it up to them to decide?"

Other alchemists spoke up one after another; Gu Qingyuan still had a lot of prestige among the alchemists of the Elixir Tower.

"You want to stop me? I have evidence of suspicion, I have an order from Elder Elder De You who is in charge of punishment, and as an Elder, I have come personally to take a suspected criminal; you want to stop me?" Elder Elder Sa Luo looked at Tower Master Changqing.

Tower Master Changqing knew that if he wanted to stop him, he would be in the wrong.

With sufficient reasons, Elder Elder Sa Luo could forcibly make a move and take away a suspected criminal.

"And you all..." Elder Elder Sa Luo's gaze swept over those indignant alchemists. "I am talking to Tower Master Changqing; is it your turn to interrupt? Write down the name of every one of them!"

"Yes." The subordinates behind him immediately obeyed, looking at each alchemist.

These alchemists were shocked and a bit panicked.

"Gu Qingyuan, rest assured, I will go see Elder Elder De You to ensure you get fair treatment," Tower Master Changqing said.

"Thank you, Tower Master! I've caused trouble for you, Tower Master!" Gu Qingyuan bowed respectfully, still very calm; at the moment he made the move, he had prepared everything.

"Tower Master, you are giving him too much face."

A man in black clothes and black hair appeared.

"Hmm?"

Cultivators from both sides in the Elixir Tower's main building noticed Luo Feng's arrival, and Elder Elder Sa Luo's expression also changed slightly. He didn't care much about Tower Master Changqing, but God Emperor Luo Feng had built his reputation by stepping on Elder Tianhe.

"Boom—"

At the same time Luo Feng appeared, an invisible, terrifying fluctuation swept out. Elder Elder Sa Luo's expression changed slightly, and he stood firmly in place; the scales on his body glowed with a faint luster, resisting this fluctuation. But the Insect Nest cultivators under him couldn't resist at all, and they were swept away by the terrifying fluctuation, having no choice but to go with the flow and be thrown out.

"The Insect Nest dares to come to my place and act wildly?" Luo Feng looked at Elder Elder Sa Luo. "You are Elder Elder Sa Luo?"

Elder Elder Sa Luo was angry: "Luo Feng! I have evidence of suspicion, I have an order from Elder Elder De You..."

"A piece of scum from the Insect Nest, and you still have the face to investigate the murderer?" Luo Feng sneered. "What does your Insect Nest do? Don't you have any idea?"

Elder Sa Luo's expression changed drastically.

Everyone was at the Elder level, and it wasn't easy to fight in the city, so they generally followed the rules.

"You—" Elder Elder Sa Luo was a bit angry. "You have gone too far!"

"Listen well!" Luo Feng looked coldly at Elder Elder Sa Luo, and his voice also reached the ears of the group of Insect Nest cultivators outside the Elixir Tower. "My Elixir Tower follows the rules the most, but without full evidence, no one is qualified to come to my Elixir Tower to arrest cultivators. Let alone you, even the Insect Nest Master behind you is not qualified!"

"You dare to be disrespectful to the Insect Nest Master?" Elder Elder Sa Luo stared at Luo Feng.

The Insect Nest Master was an existence approaching the three Hall Masters, much stronger than an ordinary Elder.

"Yes, I don't put her in my eyes."

Luo Feng looked at him. "You can tell her my original words; I, Luo Feng, am waiting for her at any time!"

Tower Master Changqing on the side looked at Luo Feng in shock! Too, too, too... too arrogant! He, Tower Master Changqing, was on good terms with all parties in Rain-Mist City; where would he dare to be so arrogant?

Other cultivators in the main building were also stunned.

"God Emperor Luo Feng?" Gu Qingyuan was also a bit dazed; he had long been prepared, and he had even bought a 'substitute' treasure.

Luo Feng's words stunned everyone; this was publicly slapping the Insect Nest Master in the face.

"Good, good, good, I will definitely do as you wish and pass your original words to the Insect Nest Master!" Elder Elder Sa Luo sneered and turned to leave.

"Hum."

The Life and Death formation operated, and a terrifying fluctuation shrouded the Elixir Tower building complex, also trapping Elder Elder Sa Luo who was about to leave. Elder Elder Sa Luo only felt that the formation was incredibly heavy; he couldn't break free at all, and he even noticed that his life force was weakening, and it was even difficult to recover.

This made Elder Elder Sa Luo's expression change.

"What are you doing? In the city, you want to make a move?" Elder Elder Sa Luo stared at Luo Feng in shock and anger.

"Come to my Elixir Tower to act wildly? Want to leave just like that?" Luo Feng looked at him. "How can there be such a good thing? Leave one hundred million Using Hunyuan Crystals as an apology! Otherwise, you can stay in my Elixir Tower for a while longer."

These words stunned the cultivators on both sides present; they didn't dare to get involved or say another word.

Elder Elder Sa Luo was anxious and angry, and immediately transmitted to the Insect Nest Master, asking for help from the Insect Nest Master.

Thanks to the new Alliance Leader 'Mist and Stars' for the reward!
