Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 372 - 382 Sect Master Admits Mistake
CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 382 SECT MASTER ADMITS MISTAKE
"Junior brother, tell us honestly, how did you get acquainted with so many important figures?" Qin Keren did not know about the glorious deeds of Chu Feng inside the Sword Tomb, where he had slain all directions with a Talismanic Elixir.
The other senior brothers, as well as the second and third of the Northern Domain Three Evils, all looked at Chu Feng with faces full of anticipation.
Perhaps Luo Mi and the others were not aware of the power of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, but the Northern Domain Three Evils were very clear about it.
That is a superpower even more formidable than the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
This is also because the Eternal Life Pill Master has fallen; otherwise, the influence of the Treasure Pill Pavilion would be even more terrifying.
It was truly shocking that Chen Dazhong himself had come in person.
"Everyone has their own secrets; don’t ask anymore!"
Elder Shoumei, with his rich life experience, had long known that his disciple was extraordinary. With the Nine Yang Sword Veins and the Abnormal Fire, he also has an incredibly devilish natural talent for Alchemy.
Any of these qualities would be highly coveted by the major powers.
Such talent, with just a bit of nurturing, could become a mainstay of a Sect. It could even directly make a Sect or a power more prosperous and more powerful.
"Let’s go out!"
Chu Feng took the Sword Formation Diagram and was the first to walk out of the Thunder Cave.
That the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the Golden Talisman Sect, and the Medicine God Sect would rush to the rescue was within Chu Feng’s expectation. But that Chen Dazhong of the Treasure Pill Pavilion would come to the rescue with his people was truly surprising.
"Could it be that Chen Dazhong discovered that teacher has been reincarnated?"
"Or perhaps, the Panlong Crown Prince’s informants have traced some clues and deliberately sent the disciple closest to me in my previous life to test me?"
Chu Feng felt uncertain.
Outside the cave, Chen Dazhong, dressed plainly and looking like a farmer uncle, unswervingly stood in the foremost position.
Behind him, ten Sword-God-Level strong individuals were lined up, plus more than a hundred Sword Saints. The terrifying momentum they emitted made even the Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and others only dare to stand honestly at a distance of a hundred meters away.
Even the three Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect did not dare to act rashly.
Although they were formidable, they were not qualified to challenge Chen, the Chief Shopkeeper of the Treasure Pill Pavilion. In this world where the strong thrive, if one does not learn to keep a low profile, they can easily be crushed to death by someone stronger.
"Tea... Chen Dazhong of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, pays respects to the Qilin Sword Son!" Chen Dazhong gazed at Chu Feng with excitement, his expression clearly filled with joy and respect.
He nearly blurted out and called Chu Feng his Master.
Because the soul aura that was familiar to him could not be more recognizable. Moreover, Chu Feng’s composed and serene demeanor, as well as certain behaviors and mannerisms, made Chen Dazhong feel extraordinarily familiar.
Even though Chu Feng had changed bodies, his soul remained the same.
Some habits and personalities that had been cultivated over a long time simply could not be changed.
Chen Dazhong knew his Master too well, thus he could immediately confirm that the handsome young man before him must be the reincarnation of his Master.
Even though Chen Dazhong tried his best to conceal it, the words he spoke were still full of loopholes.
Just think, the Pavilion Master of the formidable Treasure Pill Pavilion, would he need to proactively greet a young man? Even if this young man possessed the Nine Yang Supreme Sword Veins, it still wouldn’t be likely for Chen Dazhong to show such respect.
Anyone who is a little more observant would notice something unusual about this.
"Thank you, Treasure Pill Pavilion Master, for coming to my rescue!" Unable to determine whether Chen Dazhong was loyal or treacherous, Chu Feng, having faced adversity and been reborn, was no longer willing to easily trust anyone. Especially not the several disciples from his past life.
Even though Chen Dazhong had rushed over with reinforcements at this critical moment, Chu Feng dared not let his guard down.
"Our Treasure Pill Pavilion is in dire need of talented individuals, and we’ve heard about an exceptional Alchemy genius in the Dan State North Territory. As soon as I, the Pavilion Master, learned about your misfortune, I immediately brought people to rescue you. Everyone has their own motives; there’s no need for thanks."
Chen Dazhong forcefully suppressed his own excitement, as countless eyes were watching him at the moment.
He absolutely could not reveal Chu Feng’s true identity.
Right away, Chen Dazhong came up with the best cover-up excuse.
"I wonder, young brother, are you willing to join our Treasure Pill Pavilion? I, the Pavilion Master, assure you that we will spare no resources to cultivate you with all our effort!" Chen Dazhong eagerly wanted to take this opportunity to bring Chu Feng into the Treasure Pill Pavilion, to show a bit of filial piety.
It was an excellent chance to openly and fully assist his master, to enhance his cultivation, and to protect his master.
Of course, the Treasure Pill Pavilion is also a key target of surveillance by the Panlong Crown Prince.
If Chu Feng were really taken into the Treasure Pill Pavilion, the chance of exposure would greatly increase.
That would be extremely dangerous.
"Pavilion Master Chen, your request is too much. Chu Feng is a disciple of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect. How could he possibly switch allegiance and join another power?" The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect, hearing Chen Dazhong extending an olive branch to Chu Feng, immediately became anxious.
He could no longer worry about his apprehension towards the Treasure Pill Pavilion and quickly spoke out against it.
"Humph, do you even have the face to mention this? It’s true that Chu Feng was once a disciple of your Ten Thousand Sword Sect, but I have heard that he was treated unfairly there, subject to the ostracism and suppression by many elders. He has now left the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and has no ties with your sect whatsoever."
Chen Dazhong’s tone was icy cold and full of killing intent.
His own master being bullied within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he, as a disciple, was naturally filled with immense rage.
Under the icy gaze of Chen Dazhong, Elder Yang and the others shrank their heads, not even daring to breathe too loudly. This was no joking matter; with just one order from Pavilion Master Chen, ten Sword Gods and a hundred Sword Saints could come charging over.
Even the three Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect would not be able to withstand them.
"To err is human; who can be without fault? I, Pu Li, admit that our Ten Thousand Sword Sect was in the wrong. However, at that time, I was in seclusion, that’s why such a thing occurred. It will never happen again. We will never let a hero, a contributor, bleed and weep again."
The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was also extremely angry at the blind elders of the sect.
But now was not the time to discuss such matters, the most crucial thing was to bring Chu Feng back to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
You must know, Chu Feng is the inheritor of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, which also means he is the Sect Master candidate designated by the first Sect Master. The rise and fall of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect all rest on Chu Feng.
To have such an important disciple taken away by another power would be an unbearable loss for the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
"Chu Feng, our sect makes a solemn apology to you. Everything that has happened, our sect will give you a satisfactory resolution. I hope you would remember the sentiment of our first Sect Master imparting the Sword Skill to you and return to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect with me!"
"Our Ten Thousand Sword Sect needs you, we cannot do without you!"
Pu Li, dignified as the Sect Master, was now humbling himself, apologizing sincerely to Chu Feng in front of everyone.
This moved many people.
Regardless of how the Ten Thousand Sword Sect appears weak in the presence of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, it is definitely considered a first-rate power in Dan State.
For the Sect Master to publicly apologize to a sect disciple and invite him back to the sect, such an honor was reserved solely for Chu Feng.
