Path of Alchemy Mastery
Chapter 71 - 71 71 Two Slaps

71: Chapter 71 Two Slaps 71: Chapter 71 Two Slaps “This is it, surround it.” The man in white led the City Lord Mansion’s staff, forming an impenetrable siege around the precious resources.

With a clang, he kicked open the door and, bringing his men, charged inside.

Once on the first floor, seeing no one, they hurried towards the second floor.

With so many people following him, the man in white seemed to regain that feeling of doing as he pleased, like back in Longming City.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, the shopkeeper frowned and told his assistant, “Check out what’s happening below.

Does anyone dare to cause trouble here?

Why such chaos?”

Before the assistant could descend, the man in white, leading his group upstairs, forced him back.

“It’s him.” The man in white pointed at Mu Can and told his subordinates.

“Heh.” Mu Can chuckled coldly upon seeing this scene, thinking that he hadn’t even sought trouble with them yet, but here they were, daring to return with reinforcements.

Angered by Mu Can’s cold laughter, the man in white blurted, “You damn well dare to laugh.

Kneel down and apologize now, and you might be spared.

Otherwise, heh heh.”

“Otherwise, what?” Mu Can crossed his arms and asked disdainfully.

Such characters were not even worth his attention.

“Otherwise, I’ll kill you and hang your head on the city wall,” the man in white threatened viciously, as if a faint scent of blood emanated from him.

It appeared that he had done this sort of thing more than once before.

Mu Can glanced over the people behind the man in white and asked indifferently, “Who gave you such courage?

These few Martial Arts Sect members?”

“Martial Arts Sect, dealing with a mere Samurai like you would be a breeze,” said the man in white, not considering how an ordinary Samurai could possibly kick a martial master like him away.

“Who are you?

Dare to make trouble here,” the shop owner interjected, realizing they were after Mu Can, and coldly addressed the man in white.

Now with five or six Martial Arts Sect members following him and the City Lord of Pingyun City backing him, the man in white was extremely confident.

In such a place, except for Clan Leaders who might possess the strength of a Martial King, the power of Martial Arts Sect was nearly invincible.

“Who are you?

Old Ghost Face, if you speak again, I’ll beat you too,” he snarled menacingly at Zhang Lao.

The man in white now felt as though he was possessed by the War God, speaking with a commanding air as if he could dictate to the world below.

“Good, hehe, very good.

Even the City Lord of Pingyun City would not dare speak to me like this,” Zhang Lao, insulted by being called an old man, turned black-faced, yet laughed instead of getting angry.

His already dark face seemed to grow even darker.

“What’s good about it?

Nobody here is going to get off easy today,” replied the man in white, standing proud and loudly declaring.

“I’m keen to see who dares to be so arrogant in Pingyun City.

To disregard me,” the City Lord of Pingyun City slowly ascended from the first floor.

Everyone made way as the City Lord of Pingyun City arrived at the front.

Upon seeing the two people in front, his legs turned to jelly, and he nearly knelt down.

He certainly recognized Mu Can—the main culprit who had caused unrest in Pingyun City these past days.

Even the two who controlled him had been defeated by Mu Can, and there was also a terrifying master; the staff member who had been rendered mute by just a look was still unable to speak.

“Isn’t this Lord Gao of the City Lord Mansion?

I wonder if Lord Gao still remembers this old man?” Seeing the City Lord of Pingyun City coming up, Zhang Lao coldly asked with a darkened face.

“How could it be you, my elder?

The flood has really swept the Dragon King Temple—family members don’t recognize each other,” said the City Lord of Pingyun City, quickly changing his expression upon seeing the two individuals.

“I would never dare to aspire to the City Lord’s lofty position, but since he barged in today, he owes me some explanation at least,” said Old Zhang with a cold face.

Speaking of which, Old Zhang had once saved the life of the City Lord of Pingyun City.

A rogue of high Cultivation had come to Pingyun City.

This rogue, who was at the Martial King Realm, intended to kidnap the City Lord who was only at the Martial Arts Sect strength level at that time.

It just so happened that Old Zhang was passing by and threw out three poison pills, subduing the rogue.

Although he lost his ability to perform Alchemy, Old Zhang’s Cultivation was not diminished at all.

After casually saving the City Lord, Old Zhang left without a word, and the City Lord of Pingyun City only saw half of a blackened face.

Of course, he also would never forget that expert of the Martial King Level who turned into a puddle of black water after being poisoned by the pill.

“Uncle Gao, stop wasting words with him.

Such a trivial matter isn’t worth me running back to ask my father, is it?” Seeing the hesitant look on the face of the City Lord of Pingyun City, the young man in white spoke with displeasure.

The City Lord of Pingyun City, with an embarrassed look, walked to the side of the young man in white.

With a smack, the City Lord of Pingyun City struck the young man’s face with a heavy slap.

The slap sent the white-clothed youth sprawling to the ground.

The slap stunned the young man in white as well, who, covering his now swollen left cheek, incredulously said, “You actually hit me.

Even my father never hits me.

How dare you?”

The female companion hurried over to embrace the young man in white, gently caressing his slightly swollen face, her eyes filled with hatred as she glared at the City Lord of Pingyun City.

“Quickly apologize to the senior.” The City Lord of Pingyun City gave the young man in white a meaningful look, hoping he would do as told.

Although the young man in white was arrogant, he was no fool.

Seeing the City Lord signaling desperately, he stood up.

“I’m sorry, senior.” With each word spoken, the young man in white felt a burning sensation on his face, not just from the slap just now, but also due to his pride being wounded.

At this moment, he wished he could just find a hole to crawl into.

Glancing at Mu Can, who wore a mocking smile, the young man in white’s rage surged immediately.

“I need to take this man away.” Pointing at Mu Can, the young man in white said to the City Lord of Pingyun City in a calm voice.

Unable to handle the old man, how about this instigator who came to buy medicine?

The root of his humiliation was Mu Can.

Without killing Mu Can, he felt unbearable all over.

“Hehe, Lord Gao, it seems your nephew is not that well-behaved.

Perhaps you owe me an explanation too,” Mu Can remarked, glancing at the City Lord of Pingyun City with a hint of mockery.

Mu Can was fully confident that the City Lord of Pingyun City wouldn’t dare to touch him.

“This gentleman is my honored guest,” Old Zhang also said at just the right moment.

Lord Gao was now filled with frustration.

His own son had been locked in confinement and couldn’t come out to cause trouble.

And yet, here was the son of the neighboring city’s Lord causing trouble for him.

Who did he have to provoke?

Out of everyone, he had to provoke these two whom even he couldn’t afford to offend.

If it was said that Lord Gao feared Old Zhang, then towards Mu Can, what he felt was sheer terror.

Not only did he fear Mu Can’s fighting prowess with the giant serpent, but he was even more frightened of the power behind Mu Can, that terrifying old man.

Thinking it over, he walked to the side of the young man in white who had just stood up, and with a smack, gave another slap to the face.

The young man in white, who had just slapped the gatekeeper’s face twice, had now had those two slaps returned to him so quickly.
