A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

"What exactly is going on? What exactly is going on?"

"Didn't the second brother go to that alchemist conference? Why is this happening? How did the token get destroyed?"

Inside the nurturing hall are the tokens of the current younger generation of the family. Each token contains their life essence. If a token is broken or extinguished, it signifies that the person has encountered danger or misfortune.

Now, the condition of this token is enough to tell us what has happened to the Second Young Master.

Judging from the extent of the damage to the token, it's safe to say that the second young master is highly likely dead.

"What on earth is going on? What on earth is going on? Can anyone tell me? What's wrong with my second child? What's wrong with my second child?"

The Grand Elder was practically going mad; the one who died was one of his grandsons.

On ordinary days, his favorite grandson's light sign was broken.

I simply cannot accept his madness; his face is contorted with rage.

He exuded a powerful aura, as if he were about to destroy everything, and the entire family trembled.

"Elder, please calm down, Elder!"

"Now that the Second Young Master has met with misfortune, we must find a way to investigate. We should find him as soon as possible."

"If we can find the Second Young Master's body as soon as possible, there might still be a chance to save him."

"We must find the Second Young Master's body as soon as possible. It would be best to go to the Alchemist Guild. Didn't the Second Young Master go to participate in that Alchemist Conference? There must be something he can't escape from there."

The Grand Elder breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what the elder before him said. The killing intent in his eyes faded, and his aura weakened slightly.

“You’re right. The most important thing right now is to find the second brother. That’s why he went to that alchemist conference. It must be related to that.”

"Besides, he went far away, and the Ancient Dragon Bear went with him, so why did an accident still happen?"

"The Ancient Dragon Bear is a level three Venerable Realm expert. Could it be that an expert like him couldn't protect the second-in-command?"

"Take your men and come with me immediately to the Alchemist Guild. I must find out the truth. If it's related to the Alchemist Guild, I'll turn that place upside down."

As they spoke, several elders stepped forward and flew out with the Grand Elder, heading towards the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild in the Holy City at an astonishing speed.

Holding the broken lantern sign belonging to the second young master, they could roughly determine his direction, but they had no way of knowing his exact location.

As they got closer, they became even more suspicious, because they discovered that the Second Young Master's location was clearly right there, yet they couldn't detect him at all.

Inside the Alchemist Guild, the golden-robed elder suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura about to descend.

They could tell from their aura that the elders of the demon race had arrived.

The vice president, along with the golden-robed elder, the alchemist, and several elders from the guild, went out.

Looking at the menacing demon elders in mid-air, they sensed that something was amiss.

"Fellow Daoists, may I ask what brings you here?"

"You've barged into my Alchemist Guild with such imposing manner; is there something important you wish to discuss? If not, please withdraw your aura. How about I invite you in for some tea?"

The Grand Elder scoffed at this, making no attempt to conceal his true intentions. Instead, he instantly unleashed his pressure once more, causing the students and disciples of the Alchemist Guild to feel breathless. Some of the weaker cultivators even collapsed to the ground.

The vice president stopped holding back and immediately unleashed his power, his spiritual energy clashing with the opponent's.

The two forces collided and exploded, causing the entire Alchemist Guild to shake violently.

"Vice President, stop with the nonsense. My grandson, Lao Er, came here to attend the Alchemist Conference, but now his light board is broken. Don't you owe me an explanation?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, do you believe I'll smash up your Alchemist Guild?"

The vice president was taken aback. He knew who the other person was referring to—wasn't it the arrogant and aloof Second Young Master who came here? But now he was saying he'd disappeared? The Second Young Master had clearly only left the Alchemist Guild a few days ago; how could his nameplate be broken?

"Mr. Zhang, isn't there some misunderstanding? The Second Young Master left us a long time ago. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to come to our Alchemist Guild and demand his return? Or do you think the Alchemist Guild is easy to bully?"

"If you want our help in finding the Second Young Master, we can help you. But you've come here so arrogantly and unreasonably to force your way in. I think you really don't know how powerful our Alchemist Guild is."

The Grand Elder was equally unwilling to back down, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with hatred.

"You old bastard, I see you're really asking for a beating. Since that's the case, then I might as well start a big fight."

For a moment, both sides were on the verge of war, and a great battle ensued.

The Grand Elder led thirty to fifty men and a group of elders from the Alchemist Guild into battle. This could be considered a major battle in the alchemist world. It was quite unusual, as alchemists rarely resorted to fighting to resolve issues.

The battle raged fiercely in mid-air, so fierce that half of the Alchemist Guild trembled, and the entire Holy City's inhabitants came to watch the spectacle.

"Look, look! Aren't those people from the eight ancient families? Why are they here to cause trouble for the Alchemist Guild?"

"Yes, these eight ancient families are too unreasonable. The Alchemist Guild usually helps a lot of people. They would never do anything outrageous. It must be that the eight ancient families are trying to bully others by taking advantage of their power."

"That's right, that's right. Just how powerful are the eight ancient families? Look at our Alchemist Guild, we're not weak either."

"Rumor has it that the vice president of the Alchemist Guild has already reached the seventh level of the Venerable Realm."

:……

The fight raged fiercely, with the Grand Elder and the Vice President exchanging blows repeatedly, unleashing over a hundred moves in just a few seconds.

After fighting for a long time, they couldn't come to any conclusion. Neither of them could defeat the other because their skill levels were simply too similar.

The current Grand Elder is also at the seventh level of the Venerable Realm. Although his realm has not yet stabilized, it wouldn't be easy for either side to determine a winner in a short time. It would take at least three days and three nights to decide a victor.

However, the elder was also very shrewd. He knew that the broken lantern signified that his grandson was in danger. If the battle were to drag on for three days and three nights, even if his grandson still had a chance of survival, he would probably have been worn down and died long ago, somewhere in the wilderness. Therefore, he knew that the battle had to be ended as soon as possible.

After exchanging hundreds of more blows, the Grand Elder was the first to stop.

"Vice President, I did act impulsively just now. I just want to ask one question."

"Do you really not know where my grandson is?"

The vice president snorted coldly, and then said.

"Elder, we are all alchemists, and we naturally know the rules. We find such behavior of kidnapping juniors very despicable."

"If you trust me, I can send the disciples of the Alchemist Guild to help you search. If not, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the other party wouldn't keep quiet, even if there really was something going on.

But judging from what the other party said, they really didn't lay a hand on their own grandson.

That makes sense, considering the other party is a seventh-level Venerable expert.

A master like him would probably have long been weary of the killing in the world, let alone lay a hand on his grandson.

"Alright, thank you all very much. Please help me find my grandson. If you can find him, my family will reward you handsomely."

"I believe you should know the weight of what I'm saying. My thank you is enough to surprise you."

The vice president nodded, naturally knowing what the other party meant by the generous reward.

"I hereby order all disciples of the Alchemist Guild to disperse throughout and around this Holy City, and to search for the Second Young Master's whereabouts with all their might. Anyone who provides information will be richly rewarded."

In an instant, the thousands of disciples in the Alchemist Guild scattered to search for the Second Young Master, whose whereabouts were unknown.

At this moment, Luo Xing and his grandfather were having a very pleasant conversation.

"So, kid, what are your plans for the future? Or are you thinking of taking a trip with your grandpa?"

"However, Grandpa has some important matters to discuss with you upon leaving seclusion, but I cannot tell you about them for the time being."

"If you have any troublesome issues right now, you can tell Grandpa. Grandpa will take care of them before leaving."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Grandpa. I don't have anything difficult to deal with right now. I just want to get to Old Master Bai's family as soon as possible."
