Chapter 268: The Strange Fire Tower and the Alchemist Association

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

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

Ning Wuxie nodded, "Let's make do, let them disappear. I can't bear to bully the weak."

"Also, let them return what they took."

Without Yuan Jing's instructions, the bearded man immediately ran forward after hearing this and returned the mysterious black lantern he had snatched from the twin brothers, and then ran back to the cabin with the other alchemists.

The twin brothers took back their lanterns and stood aside.

Yuan Jing glanced at them, then laughed dryly and said: "Master Ning's integrity is admirable, but you are wrong to say that our alchemy disciples bully the weak."

Yuan Jing pointed at the twin brothers and said, "Master Ning, haven't you seen that those two people are from the Strange Fire Tower? The strange fire furnace is proof."

"You see, what next?"

Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. Ning doesn't know the news from Jianghu. Maybe the news in Lanyuan is slightly blocked. Then I will tell you what happened to the Strange Fire Tower in the past two years."

Ning Wuxie was stunned, he really didn't know this.

The Different Fire Tower is also a neutral sect. Unlike the Alchemist Association and Dusheng Valley, which are at opposite ends of the spectrum in the way of medicine, the Different Fire Tower focuses its research on the "fire" necessary for alchemy.

All of them are good at controlling fire and are experts in collecting alchemy furnaces and cauldrons.

However, it is also said that colleagues are enemies. The members of Alien Fire Tower, Poisonous Valley and the Association are hostile to each other, and they all think that they are the orthodox Danta.

Ning Wuxie originally thought that these alchemists bullied the younger brother from the Strange Fire Tower because of their family status. Could it be that there was really something hidden behind them?

Seeing that Ning Wuxie was silent, Yuan Jing smiled, coughed slightly and said: "Just three years ago, a pair of disciples of the Human Sect who failed in the battle to encircle and suppress the Demonic Way hid in the Dongli Prison Sea in order to escape pursuit. The strange fire tower next to it originally promised to provide protection, and Emperor Yan himself killed the incoming demon. "

"After the killing, Emperor Yan returned to the Strange Fire Tower. So far, everything is normal. The Strange Fire Tower is weak and weak. It is understandable that he chose to sit back and watch in the face of the turmoil in the demonic way. He just protected the disciples of the Human Sect."

When he mentioned the words "weak in power", Yuan Jing's expression and tone became obviously contemptuous.

"However, from that day until today, the two disciples of the Human Sect have not left the Strange Fire Tower. They seemed to have disappeared from the world and disappeared. The Human Sect has never heard from them again!"

"An eyewitness said that he saw two flames that would last for seven days and seven nights at the top of the Strange Fire Tower. They were in the shape of two kneeling human figures!"

Yuan Jing deliberately spoke in a louder voice. Not only Ning Wuxie and the twins could hear clearly, but also everyone on the deck could hear clearly.

Everyone's eyes suddenly trembled, and some people got goosebumps unconsciously.

Burning a living person, or seven days and seven nights?

"We have long suspected that the Strange Fire Tower uses living people as firewood in order to refine the strange fire. Isn't this the devil's way or something? It's double-dealing, and it's more abominable than the devil's way!"

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

"We have never helped the devil! We are weak, but we will not openly support the right path like you, secretly sell pills to the devil at a higher price, and eat steamed buns with human blood!!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the deck. Yuan Jing's expression suddenly changed, and his murderous intent was revealed.

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

Yuan Jing spun on the spot and struck out with his right palm. A red cyclone with blazing high temperature rushed towards the twins like a horizontal tornado.

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

"Master Yuan, calm down. You are so irritable and uncontrollable that people would think that the Alchemist Association really behaves like this."

Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately restrained his anger and snorted coldly: "Fortunately, Mr. Ning, a Confucian, intercedes for you, otherwise I will definitely crush you both to ashes!"

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

I know better than you.

Ning Wuxie was a Taoist disciple of the Renzong in his previous life, so he knew very well that he was nothing like these people. The demons plundered people's wealth, and then purchased elixirs from the Alchemists Association at high prices to prepare for the next robbery. The Human Sect had long wanted to deal with them, but they just couldn't get the handle.

Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking of Ning Wuxie's status as one of the top ten literary saints in Confucianism, so he wisely closed his mouth and looked away.

"Master Yuan, whether the Strange Fire Tower is a demon or not should be decided by the Confucianism of the Human Sect, not your Alchemist Association. If you insist on it like this, it is easy for people to suspect that it is because of the personal enmity between the two sects."

"I really don't understand 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 Renzong has it, but 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 check it out 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.
