Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 439 Are you, Burning Flame Valley, trying to declare war?

Three breaths later, Elder Chi Huo felt no sensation of being hit, and he slowly removed his hand from his head.

Before his eyes floated a purple-gold token, its surface engraved with ancient and mysterious patterns, faintly radiating a chilling pressure.

In the center of its front is a towering pagoda that reaches into the clouds, while the back is decorated with the words "Elder" in a flamboyant and elegant style.

After Elder Chi Huo saw the pattern on it, his expression changed drastically, and his pupils contracted sharply!

"This...this is...the Elder's Decree of the Dan Tower!"

His voice trembled, cold sweat poured down his forehead, his body began to shake, and his face was filled with fear.

Given her status and background, she certainly understood what kind of power the token in front of her belonged to.

Throughout the entire Central Continent, there is only one faction that uses a tower as its symbol: the Pill Tower, which is revered as a sacred place by alchemists across the continent.

This token is an elder's token from the Pill Tower, and the purple-gold color indicates it's the highest grade among elder tokens.

Those who possess such tokens are mostly powerful elders within the Pill Tower. Even their own Valley Masters treat them with respect upon seeing this token.

He knew that today was not just about kicking a steel plate, but about stepping into lava.

"I presume the Liu family head has already told you the whole story?" Xuan Yi stopped three meters away from Elder Chi Huo and looked down at him.

Xiao Tian stood quietly to the side. Xuan Yi had told him earlier to handle it.

"Clearly," Elder Chi Huo said, his voice trembling.

"Oh, I thought you were going to keep pretending not to know?" Xuan Yi sneered. When he came over earlier, he had already heard Liu Shan tell them the whole story, but the old man had been pretending not to hear.

Elder Chi Huo lowered his head, not daring to raise it: "Yes! Yes! Elder is right!"

Looking at Elder Chi Huo in front of him, Liu Shan felt a slight sense of satisfaction. Elder Chi Huo had deliberately made things difficult for him before, but now the tables had turned.

"Since you know this, based on what your Burning Flame Valley disciples said before, and the fact that someone from your Burning Flame Valley's forces spoke rudely to me, as well as the words and actions of your disciple just now, can I assume that your Burning Flame Valley intends to be an enemy of my Pill Tower?"

"Is your Burning Flame Valley preparing to declare war on our Pill Tower?"

The man in black spoke calmly to Elder Chi Huo.

Elder Chi Huo suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult to breathe. He couldn't bear such a heavy burden.

"My lord, this...this is all a misunderstanding. How could we have such thoughts? We have great respect for your Dan Tower. Please forgive us and spare our lives."

Elder Chi Huo was only thinking about how to save his life from the other party. Otherwise, if the people he brought had not investigated anything properly and offended a Dan Tower elder for no reason, the Valley Master might not kill him, but his mortal enemies in the valley would definitely kill him.

"You think an apology like this is enough? If apologies were effective, there wouldn't be so many people fighting to the death in this world."

"It seems that the disciples of your Burning Flame Valley are not as good as rumored. I would like to ask Tang Zhen how he trains his disciples."

Xuan Yi did not soften her heart because of the other party's pleas for mercy; she was not a saint. "This old man was blind and offended the elder. I am willing to let him atone with his death to appease the elder's anger," Elder Chi Huo said in a hoarse voice.

After saying that, he reached out and slapped the head of the young man who had just woken up and was terrified by their conversation.

"You—" The man's pupils widened instantly, and a strange gurgling sound came from his throat. He wanted to say something to greet him, but he didn't even have a chance to finish.

He collapsed to the ground instantly, blood gushing from his seven orifices, clearly indicating that he was dead.

Xuan Yi and Xiao Tian were slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to do this.

However, Xiao Tian didn't care at all about the young man's death, since he was destined to die anyway.

Xuan Yi glanced calmly at the man's corpse, then looked at Elder Chi Huo in front of him: "Now that the matter is resolved, I will spare your life for the time being. Now we should talk about compensation."

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, Elder Chi Huo roughly understood that the other party would no longer pursue the matter, and that his life was at least spared.

It's just a pity about my disciple, but I'll just offer him more incense in the future. After all, I've raised him for so long, it's time to repay him.

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, he hurriedly took out a large number of items from his storage ring, including medicinal herbs and various special metals.

"These are my collections over the years. I hope you will accept them, Elder."

Xiao Tian glanced at the things on the ground and thought to himself, "As expected of an old man who is shrewd and experienced, the things Elder Chi Huo took out are all designed to target the identity of a Xuan Yi alchemist."

The medicinal herbs included many of the main ingredients for seventh-grade pills, and even three or four main ingredients for eighth-grade pills.

After all, to serve as an elder in the Pill Tower, one must be at least rank seven or above, and those with purple-gold elder tokens must be at least rank eight.

Those special metals are also very attractive to alchemists because they can be used to forge medicine cauldrons. A good medicine cauldron is very important to alchemists, as it can greatly increase the success rate.

Xuan Yi's gaze swept over the pile of herbs and metals shimmering with an unusual light. With a flick of his finger, a lingzhi mushroom, its entire body as green as jade, fell into his hand. A smile, both ambiguous and enigmatic, curved his lips.

"Elder Crimson Flame certainly has a rich collection."

"I obtained all of these through legitimate means; I did not seize them by force," Elder Chi Huo hurriedly defended himself upon hearing Xuan Yi's words.

He thought to himself that these were all "gifts" from others, and he had not forcibly taken them; it was all consensual.

"You know in your heart whether it's true or not." Xuan Yi wasn't the kind of child who was easily fooled. He guessed the general idea at a glance. After all, he was one of the three guild leaders of the Pill Tower, and many people would send him gifts to curry favor with him.

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Yi sent everything flying toward Xiao Tian, ​​who, understanding the message, stored it all in his system space.

Although neither of them has confessed their feelings to the other, they both know that they like each other.

Xiao Tian wasn't in a hurry to break through that barrier, and neither was Xuan Yi. Both of them were waiting for the right opportunity to come to fruition, and they were both enjoying this slow and natural process.

After all, if the process and speed are too rushed, it can easily make both parties feel uncomfortable.
