Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2271 - 2271 2261 Causing Trouble

2271: Chapter 2261: Causing Trouble 2271: Chapter 2261: Causing Trouble Silence, everyone who attended the entire Conference did not dare to speak, using an idiom to describe the situation would be most apt, the entire venue was as quiet as a morgue.

On the Stage, Long Yan stood with his hands behind his back, even many Sect’s Chief Disciples viewed Long Yan’s figure as an insurmountable mountain, Qin Yan, though shameless, was brutally beaten by Long Yan and thrown off the Stage, who else would dare to challenge now?

“Although Brother Qin has done some…

still, he is the Sect Leader of a faction, isn’t what you did a bit too much, Long Yan?”

Among the crowd, Ling Yutian stood up, his relationship with Qin Yan wasn’t good, this was just building upon Qin Yan’s issue to make a display; smashing a person to such a state, of course, while describing Qin Yan, Ling Yutian didn’t know which words to choose, and briefly hemmed and hawed to cover it up.

“What do you think I should have done, Senior Ling?”

Seeing the main event of this Conference finally taking the stage, everyone perked up their ears to listen; it was no surprise within Saint Que that the Seven-Star Hall had offended the Sky Clan, and finally, a confrontation between the two sides was seen.

“On the ring, one should only spar to compare strengths, but you treated Qin Yan as if you were brawling in the street.”

Ling Yutian’s eyes narrowed slightly, those familiar with him knew this was a sign of Ling Yutian about to make trouble.

Cultivators pay great importance to propriety, especially when it comes to respecting teachers and valuing the Dao, and since Long Yan is just a disciple of a sect, it was indeed right for Ling Yutian to use this respect to pressurize Long Yan.

“But a teacher should certainly have the morals of a teacher, and Elders should maintain their own dignity.

With regards to a so-called Senior like Qin Yan, who doesn’t know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, shouldn’t he be punished?”

These words were not directed at Ling Yutian by Long Yan, but he instead turned his head to look at one of the Disciples of the Seven-Star Hall behind him; as Long Yan’s words fell, the Disciples of the Seven-Star Hall behind him shouted in unison.

“He should be!”

If Ling Yutian’s words were an attempt to suppress Long Yan with fabricated charges, then now, Long Yan’s words could definitely be regarded as a threat.

The underlying meaning of Long Yan’s words was don’t be a nuisance, if you’re not convinced, let’s battle.

“You…

hmph.”

Ling Yutian hmphed and sat down, realizing that Long Yan was not at all fooled.

If he brought up Qin Yan’s previous shameful behavior, Ling Yutian could still use the Elder’s authority over him, but this gangster-like retort left Ling Yutian at a loss for words.

“Is there anyone else willing to come up?”

Seeing Ling Yutian sit down, Long Yan turned his head and asked.

If no one else came up to challenge on the Stage, then this fight could be considered a victory for the Seven-Star Hall, and after defending the Stage, the Seven-Star Hall would have established a firm footing in Saint Que.

“Brother Qin Fan, don’t you feel a little bit of reluctance?”

Qin Fan was the Chief Disciple of Qin Yan’s Sect, when suddenly a voice entered his ears, he looked at Wang Lei with questioning eyes, only to find the latter wearing a smile on his face.

“What do you mean, Brother Wang?”

After thinking about what Wang Lei might want to do, Qin Fan tentatively transmitted his voice with True Qi, seeing that the fish was hooked, Wang Lei’s smile grew even richer.

“Are you content watching your Sect Leader and your Sect become stepping stones under Long Yan’s feet?”

Wang Lei’s words were not false, although their Sect’s reputation in Saint Que was only so-so, to say it had become a stepping stone for the Seven-Star Hall was a bit of an exaggeration, but it did become a means to gain fame; having a Chief Disciple beat up the Sect Leader of another faction, if this were to get out, it would make Qin Fan’s Sect a laughingstock.

However, Qin Fan’s strength was also at the bottom end in Saint Que.

What did Wang Lei want from contacting him?

Bluntly put, Qin Fan was far from being a match for Long Yan, even if he wished to be.

“Of course I want to, but with my meager strength, I better not.”

Qin Fan directly rejected Wang Lei’s words.

Wang Lei was well-known throughout Saint Que for his cunning, a knowledge Qin Fan shared.

Despite his hatred for Long Yan, Qin Fan didn’t consider Wang Lei a good person either.

As for the matters between their two sects, Qin Fan felt it was best to involve himself as little as possible.

“Your words are mistaken, for the strength of a person cannot be judged merely by appearances.”

Wang Lei’s words piqued Qin Fan’s interest, prompting him to quickly respond.

“Does Brother Wang have any good methods?”

The smile on Wang Lei’s face twisted slightly, as the fish had completely taken the bait.

Qin Fan didn’t realize that by showing interest in this matter, he was gradually stepping into the large net woven by Wang Lei.

“I do have a little trick that might just be able to help Brother Qin.”

“And the cost?”

Qin Fan cut Wang Lei off, wanting to know what the price for this aid would be.

After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world; getting something always means giving something in return.

“The cost?

Of course, there is one: Help me kill Long Yan.”

On the ring, whether it be life or death, everyone is subject to fate, a fact that Qin Fan found comforting.

However, given Wang Lei’s infamous reputation within Saint Que, Qin Fan couldn’t fathom why Wang Lei would go out of his way to help someone as insignificant as himself.

Seeing Qin Fan’s hesitation, Wang Lei had already anticipated this step [response] and was well-prepared for this situation.

“You must realize we share a common enemy.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend; isn’t that a simple concept?”

Wang Lei’s words did resonate with Qin Fan to some extent.

After all, both of them now shared the common enemy, Long Yan.

Although Qin Fan still harbored doubts, time was running out as Xiao Tong on the stage had already begun the countdown, and such an opportunity wouldn’t come again.

“How do we do it?”

Hearing Qin Fan’s transmitted message, a delighted smile spread across Wang Lei’s face.

Without any pretense, he promptly took out a pill from his Storage Ring and handed it to Qin Fan.

“This thing can double your strength within an hour.”

Qin Fan soared onto the ring like a Dapeng spreading its wings, with all timings under Wang Lei’s control.

Even Qin Fan didn’t have time to ask about potential consequences before stepping up to the ring.

“I challenge you.”

Qin Fan’s voice was filled with excitement.

The news that Long Yan was the Heavenly Ranking First was no longer novel within Saint Que.

If Qin Fan could defeat Long Yan, from this moment forward, all the honors that once surrounded Long Yan would fall upon himself.

“People die for riches; birds die for food.” The temptation was simply too great for an ordinary cultivator like Qin Fan.

“You are not yet qualified.”

Long Yan slowly uttered these words, not as an insult to Qin Fan, but as a statement of fact that those who step up for a challenge should be geniuses, and Qin Fan’s cultivation base, by comparison, was truly lacking.

“Enough with the nonsense.”

Such words grated unpleasantly on Qin Fan’s ears.

Without taking notice of Long Yan, Qin Fan charged towards him.

However, in terms of True Qi capacity, the phrase ‘flies trying to shake a tree’ was the perfect description.

Long Yan didn’t even move, merely waving his hand, and Qin Fan was sent flying back as if he had hit an invisible wall.

Instant defeat!
