Chapter 268: The Strange Fire Tower and the Alchemist Association

After all, Yuan Jing is an old man who has been in the martial arts world for many years, and his face is not so thin. Thinking of this, he held back the embarrassment of being pointed at and laughed at by the people around him, raised his head and squeezed out a smile.

"Master Ning, are you satisfied with this? Can you forgive these young people?"

Ning Wuxie nodded, "It's okay, let them disappear, I can't stand bullying the weak."

"Also, let them return the things they robbed."

There was no need for Yuan Jing to order. When the bearded man heard this, he immediately ran up and returned the black lantern that he had robbed from the twin brothers, and then ran back to the cabin with other alchemists.

The twin brothers took back their lanterns and stood aside.

Yuan Jing glanced at them and laughed dryly, saying, "Lord Ning is upright and admirable, but you said that our alchemist disciples bully the weak, which is not right." Yuan Jing pointed at the twin brothers and said, "Lord Ning, haven't you seen that the two are from the Alien Fire Tower? The Alien Fire Furnace is proof of that." "I've seen it, and then what?" Yuan Jing was stunned, then smiled and said, "It turns out that Lord Ning doesn't know the news of the martial arts world. Is it because he is a little isolated from the news in Lanyuan? Then I will tell you what happened in the Alien Fire Tower in the past two years." Ning Wuxie was stunned. He really didn't know that. Alien Fire Tower is also a neutral sect. Unlike the Alchemist Association and the Poison Valley, which run in opposite directions in the way of medicine, the Alien Fire Tower focuses on the "fire" that is necessary for alchemy. All of the disciples are good at controlling fire and are experts in collecting alchemy furnaces. However, as the saying goes, colleagues are enemies. The Alien Fire Tower, the Poison Valley and the Association are hostile to each other, and they all think that they are the orthodox of the Alchemy Tower. Ning Wuxie originally thought that these alchemists bullied the young man from the Different Fire Tower out of family prejudice. Could there be another hidden reason? Seeing that Ning Wuxie didn't say anything, Yuan Jing smiled and coughed lightly, saying, "Just three years ago, a pair of disciples from the Human Sect who failed in the battle to suppress the Demon Sect hid in the Different Fire Tower beside the Dongli Prison Sea to escape being hunted down. The Different Fire Tower originally promised to give them shelter, and Emperor Yan personally killed the attacking Demon Sect." "After the killing, Emperor Yan returned to the Different Fire Tower. Everything has been normal so far. The Different Fire Tower is weak and weak. It is understandable that it chose to stand aside in the face of the turmoil of the Demon Sect. It is enough to protect the disciples of the Human Sect." When talking about the four words "weak and weak", Yuan Jing's expression and tone were obviously contemptuous. "But, since then until today, the two disciples of the Human Sect have not left the Strange Fire Tower. It's as if they have disappeared from the face of the earth. The Human Sect has never received any news from them again!"

"An eyewitness said that they saw two groups of flames on the top of the Strange Fire Tower that lasted for seven days and seven nights. The shape was exactly two kneeling human figures!"

Yuan Jing deliberately raised his voice to speak. Not only Ning Wuxie and the twins heard it clearly, but even the people on the deck could hear it clearly.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly shocked, and some people got goose bumps unconsciously.

Burning living people, or seven days and seven nights?

"We have long suspected that the Fire Tower uses living people as firewood to refine the Fire. Isn't this the devil's way or what? Two-faced, hypocritical, even more hateful than the devil's way!"

"Bullshit! You're talking nonsense!" As soon as the twin brother finished speaking, he roared again, pointing at Yuan Jing's nose and scolding: "That's not the case at all! We didn't kill anyone!"

"We have never helped the devil's way! We are weak, but we won't support the righteous way on the surface like you, but secretly sell the elixir to the devil at a higher price and eat human blood buns!!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the deck, and Yuan Jing's face suddenly changed, with a ferocious murderous intent.

"You little bastard, you're looking for death!!"

Yuan Jing spun on the spot, and slapped his right palm, and a red cyclone with scorching heat rushed towards the twins like a horizontal tornado.

But suddenly, a sharp white light shot out, and there was a small air explosion when passing through the tornado. The tornado suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless red turbulences that fled in all directions.

"Master Yuan, calm down. You are so irritable and impatient that people would think that the Alchemist Association really has such behavior."

Yuan Jing was stunned, and immediately restrained his anger, snorting coldly: "Fortunately, Master Ning of the Confucian School pleaded for you, otherwise I would have crushed you two to ashes!"

After saying that, he looked at Ning Wuxie and tried to explain, but Ning Wuxie's eyes seemed to say: Don't explain, I understand.

I understand better than you.

Ning Wuxie was a Taoist of the Human Sect in his previous life, and he knew these people's little tricks too well. The Demon Sect plundered the people's wealth, and then bought pills from the Alchemist Association at a high price in preparation for the next robbery. The Human Sect had long wanted to deal with them, but they just couldn't find any handle.

Yuan Jing was stunned, thinking of Ning Wuxie's identity as a junior high-level official in the Confucian School's Ten Great Sages, and wisely shut his mouth and looked away.

"Master Yuan, whether the Fire Tower is a demonic sect should be decided by the Confucianists of the Human Sect, not your Alchemist Association. Your insistence makes it easy for people to suspect that it is a personal vendetta between your two sects."

"I really don't know the case you mentioned, but now it seems that the situation is not as simple as you said."

"To put it bluntly, the life and death of immortal cultivators depends on the power of law enforcement. I have it, the Human Sect has it, and you don't. Execution without power is murder."

Ning Wuxie stretched out a finger and shook it left and right.

Yuan Jing was immediately choked on what he wanted to say. It was indeed true. In front of Confucianism, he, the Alchemist Association, is the younger brother who has to keep his tail between his legs. The power that only Confucianism has on this continent but not the Alchemist Association will never be reversed.

"Master Ning's words are true, but I was abrupt." Yuan Jing cupped his hands and said, "Then Yuan Jing can ask more, you came to Danta... er, no, it's Dayu, what's the reason?"

"Like this boatload of bold speculators...?"

Yuan Jing lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows when he looked at Ning Wuxie's face.

The four words "the corpse of a divine beast" are ready to be spoken, even if you don't say them, you can understand them.

"Since you know about me, you still ask me if I'm here for the corpse of the mythical beast?" Ning Wuxie said with a smile, "Don't you know how I put down the turmoil in Lanyuan?"

Yuan Jing was immediately happy when he heard this, "That's good, that's good. I haven't seen the divine beast following you..."

Ning Wuxie ignored this, "There has been a lot of commotion in the Dan Pagoda recently, so naturally I have to come and visit it on behalf of Confucianism."

"Okay, okay," Yuan Jing was already happy, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. He felt more relieved knowing that Ning Wuxie did not come to snatch the corpse of the mythical beast.

"Then... I hope Master Ning will cooperate more with the Alchemist Association." He took a step forward and lowered his voice, "At that time, in my personal capacity, the rewards from the Alchemist Association will not disappoint you..."

Ning Wuxie smiled slightly and nodded, noncommittal.
