Chapter 1519: Ruthless, Kill on Command
Translator: 549690339
“Whatever about Lan Zhengfeng, whatever about the young pharmacist being intercepted, those are trifles. But if the pharmacy room is burned clean, then all these years of their efforts will truly have been in vain.”
It was only when they heard his roar that everyone reacted, hastily running towards the pharmacy room.
But this was a cave, with no water source; how could the fire be extinguished? Even if everyone ran over, they could only slap at the flas with their clothes.
Such intrinsically flammable objects, used to put out fire, would only fan the flas even higher.
After a good while longer, everyone could only watch helplessly as all the important items in the room were burnt to ashes, while so people, because they had breathed in the remnants of poison, fell to the ground and could not get up again.
“How could this happen? How could it be?”
The elder rushed over in a hurry, only to see a room full of ashes.
He didn’t understand; the pharmacy room had been there for so many years without incident, so why would it catch fire today?
“Who was it, who was the last one to leave the pharmacy room today?” he turned around in anguish, roaring at those who were disheveled.
Though it’s impossible to forbid fire in the pharmacy room, he had a rule that each pharmacist must thoroughly check no spark remained in their dicinal furnace before leaving the room, not leaving a single ember inside.
Even the light in the pharmacy room ca from the invaluable luminous pearls!
“Reporting to the elder, I was the last to co out, but… I wasn’t refining dicinal pills,” a man stepped forward, feeling wronged and loudly proclaiming his innocence.
He was the last to leave the pharmacy room, and even though he wasn’t refining dicinal pills, he had carefully checked the room.
“Elder, when I left the pharmacy room, there was no open fla, only the light from the luminous pearls, and only then did I leave,” he said.
“Dare you still lie?!”
How would the elder believe him, thinking that this man was deliberately saying he hadn’t been refining dicinal pills to shirk the bla for the disaster.
“You wretched thing, the chief elder tirelessly cautioned you not to leave open flas in the pharmacy room, and yet you didn’t listen. You truly deserve to die!”
As he spoke, he raised his palm and struck the man.
What use was there to keep such a useless creature, who caused them to waste so many years of effort?
The man received the elder’s strike directly, his head splattering with fresh blood, and he fell to the ground motionless, soon after ceasing to breathe.
“Elder…”
Two n in white robes opened their mouths, wanting to plead for rcy, but it was already too late.
They wanted to say this man was the most skilled in the research of Puppet Poison; he had made significant breakthroughs, and it was only recently that he had started frequenting the pharmacy room more regularly.
But now the pharmacy room was burned, the man dead, and nothing they said would make a difference.
In his raging fury, the elder had no intention to listen. The n shared a look, deciding it best not to furrow the elder’s brow further at this mont.
Yet they truly did feel this man died unjustly.
They couldn’t fathom how the pharmacy room had caught fire: open flas? Who would dare leave an open fla in the pharmacy room, if not courting their own death?
“Tsk tsk, truly ruthless, to kill just like that.”
An Jiuyue, escorted by Qian Jiyun, hid in another passageway of the cave, watching as a living person was simply slapped to death by the old man, finding it lantably sad for him.
The man really was honest; when questioned, he gave a straightforward answer, and even under the elder’s fury, this was practically courting death. She was also amazed.
