Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 227 The Strength of the Pill Hall

"I might have accidentally let it slip before, mentioning that you teach."

"Ahem, well, I didn't expect Ji Dao to get lost halfway there!"

Faced with the demon's questioning, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman was also embarrassed, knowing that he had indeed failed in his duty.

Moreover, he broke the rules of the underworld.

"you……"

The demon almost choked on the words of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman. She could already see the scene of the Holy Lord using her as a scapegoat in order to quell the anger of the Pill Palace.

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman, realizing something was amiss with the demons, quickly slipped away.

"You demon, I'm going to find my storage bag first. I'll come find you again later! Yo-ho..."

By the time the demon recovered and tried to stop the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, he had already vanished!

"He really is an unreliable guy! No, this can't go on like this, or I'll really become a pawn!"

Just as the demon was pondering how to handle the matter, she received a telepathic message from the Holy Lord.

"You demon, did you get the scriptures?"

The demon thought that the Holy Lord already knew about her poor performance and was now contacting her to interrogate her, but she didn't expect that he would only ask her how things were going.

"Your Majesty, we haven't received it yet, but it will be soon. Give me a little more time, and I will be able to bring back the scriptures!"

"Are you planning to wait until my sect is besieged by other holy sites before bringing it back?"

"Your Majesty, I know my sins. Please give me another chance. I will handle this matter properly!"

"What about a thousand faces?"

"That guy ran away when he sensed things were going badly!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter; I've already had Wangliang handle it! Also, you can't admit to anyone that you've found the Thousand-Faced Gentleman! Understand?"

"My subordinate understands!"

"Get rid of everyone who knows about this, otherwise I'll have no choice but to sacrifice some to save the king! Continue to follow up on the scripture matter; I don't want anything like this to happen again!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will personally take action this time and will absolutely not fail!"

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from the Lotus Sect leader, Chimei knew that the crisis had passed. Her chest heaved for a moment before she calmed down.

"Elder Chimei, Elder Huangming invites you. The alchemists from the Pill Hall have arrived and are waiting for you in the reception room!"

"understood!"

(They arrived so quickly. Dan City truly lives up to its reputation as the headquarters of the Pill Palace. I've only been in the city for a short time, and they already know I'm here.)

The demon arrived at the reception room shortly afterward.

There were already quite a few people in the reception room, but only Elder Dan Daozi and Ji Daoyi, the person in charge, came from the Dan Palace side.

The person in charge of receiving the Pill Hall from the Lotus Sect was naturally Elder Huang Ming.

As the demon approached the door, it heard Huang Ming's assurance from inside the hall.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find out the truth about this."

I think there must be some misunderstanding here. How could we possibly have any connection with that guy, Qianmian?

He's a pariah, someone everyone hates and despises. To associate with him is like an old man eating poison and courting death.

"Just now, His Majesty the Holy Lord personally instructed me to cooperate with Elder Wangliang to investigate this matter thoroughly, to give your Pill Hall an explanation, and at the same time, to clear my sect's name."

Dan Daozi didn't want to play games with Huang Ming here, so he went straight to the point.

"Hmph, according to our reliable sources, just now your Elder Chimei sneaked into Dan City with a stranger. Don't tell me they're here for a vacation!"

Huang Ming wasn't angry. "I just sent someone to invite Elder Chimei. As for why they came to Dancheng secretly, I don't know. After all, they wouldn't tell me if they had any secret missions."

"Look, here comes Elder Chimei, just as we were talking about!"

Huang Ming stood up and greeted Elder Chimei.

Dan Daozi remained seated without getting up, only fiddling with the lid of his teacup.

Ji Daoyi had a frightened expression, but he was not scared out of his wits because his elders were there.

If Crescent Moon were here, she would definitely say your acting is really good.

"Elder Chimei, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have been blamed to death."

I'm sure you two know each other well, so I won't introduce you.

This young friend is the victim in this case, the alchemist who was kidnapped by that Thousand-Faced Gentleman.

"Elder Huang, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my arrival to cause you so much trouble."

Then she said to Dan Daozi, "Dan Daozi, you're wronging me by saying I sneaked into Dan City. If I really had sneaked in, you wouldn't have discovered me yet."

"Besides, I came to Dan City to carry out the Holy Lord's orders. As for what those orders are, that's a secret of my sect, and I won't tell you."

"You demon, you don't think we won't recognize you just because you've changed your appearance, do you!"

Do you think we would come to your door voluntarily if we hadn't investigated thoroughly?

The person who kidnapped Ji Daoyi was the same person who entered the city with you.

Don't forget, Dan City is the headquarters of our Dan Palace. From the moment you entered Dan City, you were already within our surveillance range of ten miles!

Someone saw you and Qianmian fall to the ground together!

Is there anything else you want to say?

The more Chimei listened to Dan Daozi continue, the worse her expression became. She had thought that if she denied having dealings with Qianmian as the Holy Lord had said, then Dan Dian would be powerless to do anything about it.

After all, both sides are holy land-level forces. In principle, if there is no evidence, they will argue with each other and then let it go.

Even if there are personal grudges, they will not escalate or become hostile.

This is also an important reason why the demons dared to face Dan Daozi.

Chimei never expected that the Pill Palace was so terrifying, investigating her and the Thousand-Faced Gentleman so thoroughly in such a short time.

Even Huang Ming, who had just been talking so confidently, was shocked. In all his years in Dan City, this was the first time he had ever witnessed how terrifying the Dan Palace's intelligence network was.

The reason why Dan Daozi did not present evidence to Huang Ming before was that he wanted to use his full power against the demon!

That would cut off all her escape routes!

Dan Daozi's visit to the Lotus Sect and the initial news spread in Dan City were not just about Ji Daoyi's problem; the most important thing was to announce it to the world.

The alchemists in the Pill Hall cannot be manipulated at will.

If you slap the face of the Pill Palace, then you must be prepared to face the storm!

At this moment, the demons were like walking corpses, devoid of their souls.

Dan Daozi glanced at the demons and Huang Ming, then muttered to himself, "It's about time, isn't it?"

Before Huang Ming could even figure out the meaning of those words...

A thunderous roar echoed through Dan City!

boom!

The oppressive aura of the Holy Realm!

A voice echoed through the sky.

"Yun Shangtian! Who gave you the audacity to act so presumptuously in my Pill Palace!"

"You really think no one can subdue you? Your tricks are worthless in front of the Holy Realm! The only reason the Holy Realm hasn't attacked you is because of your master's sake."

"Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your master! I'll let you know that there are some things you can't and mustn't do!"
