"My goodness! How can this be possible?"
The five people were highly skeptical of the information provided by the person in charge, and after exchanging glances and inquiring for more details, they left the branch of the Star Pill Association.
"What do you make of that person-in-charge's background?"
"It's hard to say. To know the truth, we have to et this person nad Duan Gujin. Only by seeing him actually unblock the third Martial ridian and possess the yellow Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, can we be certain that he indeed has a King of Pills Level Master behind him!"
"That's right, seeing is believing!"
The other four people all agreed with the suggestion.
So, they went together to the Seventh Imperial Uncle and asked him to arrange a eting with Duan Gujin.
Following Duan Gujin's previous instructions, the Seventh Imperial Uncle sent soone to bring them to see Duan Gujin.
After seeing those five people and his subordinate leave together, the Seventh Imperial Uncle imdiately started praying: "I hope Duan Gujin can truly impress them!"
When Duan Gujin saw the five people from the Star Pill Association, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he ascertained their identities.
"So they're just five low-level nobodies from the Star Pill Association!"
An idea sparked in his mind.
Previously, he had directed the Seventh Imperial Uncle to lure those five into the Death Rift because he had entered a critical phase of leveling.
He didn't want to squander such a grand opportunity.
Now that he had successfully reached the Innate Fourth Realm, he no longer had any reservations.
Although the strength of these five people was still much greater than his, he believed that as long as their thinking was rational, they would be wary of him.
"Please, have a seat," said Duan Gujin to the five people indifferently.
Despite Duan Gujin's youth, the aura he exuded was enough to shake them to their core.
"This young man must have an extraordinary background," they all thought simultaneously.
As they were still in shock, Duan Gujin asked, "Which departnt of the Star Pill Association do you belong to?"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's question, the people quickly blinked several tis.
They looked at each other in silence, not sure if they should reveal their positions within the Star Pill Association to Duan Gujin.
"What are you afraid of? My Master has told a lot about the Star Pill Association, so I'm quite familiar with it," Duan Gujin said.
"May I ask how to address your Master?" one of the five inquired.
Duan Gujin waved his hand and answered, "You don't need to ask too closely. I can tell you that my Master is an elder of the Heavenly Cold Star in the Star Pill Association, but it's not convenient to give out his specific na."
Hearing what Duan Gujin said, the five sucked in a breath of cold air, knowing that Duan Gujin's master held a much higher position within the Star Pill Association than they did.
They exchanged glances once more, feeling that they should believe what Duan Gujin had said.
"It seems the young man's Master is indeed an elder of the Star Pill Association."
Having asserted Duan Gujin's identity, the five did not press for more details.
One who had so connections with Cao Dingtian imdiately decided to disassociate from him. He didn't want to speak up for Cao Dingtian or get dragged into his troubles.
In fact, he even secretly cursed Cao Dingtian, fearful of the problems he might bring.
Given his position within the Star Pill Association, he dared not provoke an elder of Heavenly Cold Star.
Inside the Star Pill Association, there were many different departnts, each with nurous mbers and diverse duties, which only those who had been in the Association for a long ti knew the differences among.
In the Star Pill Association, Heavenly Cold Star was a unique departnt that specialized in concocting various new Elixir Pills.
Rumor had it that so elders had even conducted human experintation.
It was said that so serious offenders in the Star Pill Association were sent to the elders of Heavenly Cold Star for various human experints.
Without a doubt, the people of Heavenly Cold Star's departnt imposed a strong psychological pressure on others within the Star Pill Association.
In the Star Pill Association, no one who knew of Heavenly Cold Star's departnt wanted to deal with its mbers.
Upon learning that Duan Gujin's Master worked in that departnt, all of them felt fear and thought they should stay away from Duan Gujin.
When Duan Gujin noticed the look of fear flash across the faces of the five people, he knew he had achieved his goal.
He had to impress the five of them enough to prevent them from spreading the events here to the rest of the Star Pill Association.
"What discoveries have you co here for?" Duan Gujin asked imdiately.
"We suspect there's a traitor from the Star Pill Association within the Death Rift."
"That's right!"
Duan Gujin promptly handed over the image of the Corpse Eating Poison Man to the five n and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"
One of them quickly replied, "This person is a traitor from our Star Pill Association."
"The Demon Cultivators that have appeared recently in the Country Gulai are him! Look at these things!"
Duan Gujin then showed the corpses of Cannibal Wolves for the five to inspect.
Upon seeing those Cannibal Wolf corpses, the five were certain that the Demon Cultivators that had appeared in the Country Gulai must be the traitor from the Star Pill Association.
They quickly pieced everything together.
"So it's all been the doing of that traitor from the Star Pill Association."
The one with so connection to Cao Dingtian now felt panicked, fearing that Duan Gujin might fra him for colluding with the Association's traitor.
He was well aware that if he fell into the hands of the elder of Heavenly Cold Star, his fate would be worse than death.
Observing their reactions, Duan Gujin knew he had thoroughly intimidated the five n.
He didn't know which of them was colluding with Cao Dingtian, and he didn't want to investigate.
His current task was to convince these five people from the Star Pill Association that the Demon Cultivators' massacre in the Country Gulai was the doing of that traitor.
Having considered Duan Gujin's Master's identity, the five made a frightened resolve to push all the bla onto the deceased traitor.
After so polite exchanges, the five apprehensive people bid farewell to Duan Gujin.
Watching the five depart, Duan Gujin exhaled a murky breath.
Although he did not know what was in their minds, their fearful expressions led him to believe they would make the right decisions.
Once they left the Imperial Palace, the five imdiately started to discuss among themselves.
The one who had connections with Cao Dingtian was most fearful of an investigation by the headquarters.
Thus, he promptly suggested pushing all the bla onto the deceased traitor from the Star Pill Association.
Seeing his insistence, the others, wanting to avoid hassle, agreed with him.
"When we return, we'll tell the headquarters that everything was done by that traitor, and let this matter end there."
