When they heard this, the Dean and everyone else from the Heavenly Dao Academy were stunned. What was happening?
Weren’t they here for Lin Xuan? Why were they targeting the Elixir King? Isn’t the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire in Lin Xuan’s hands? Why was the Celestial King going after the Elixir King? Could the Celestial King have gotten it wrong?
Everyone stared at each other, completely bewildered.
Even the Elixir King was stunned. He had seen the Celestial King arrive earlier, and his heart had skipped a beat, knowing he had another competitor. He just hadn’t expected the Celestial King to attack him directly.
He shook his head and said, "Celestial King, you must be mistaken. The Green Lotus Anomalous Fire isn’t in my hands; it’s with the Champion Marquis. What’s the use of asking for it? I can’t give it to you."
The Celestial King snorted coldly. "You might be able to deceive others, but you can’t deceive . It was you who had Master Guo break the Fire Dragon Array, and you who entered the depths of the magma. If you didn’t take the Anomalous Fire, who did? You’re just afraid of my revenge, so you’ve pinned the bla on the Champion Marquis. You’re trying to divert my attention, hoping I’ll go after him while you sit back and watch the show. Dream on! I’m not that stupid."
What? Upon hearing this, the Dean was dumbfounded. The people of the Heavenly Dao Academy were in an uproar. Could it really have been the Elixir King who obtained the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire?
The Elixir King stood there, dumbfounded. The Celestial King’s imagination was just too wild. He shook his head and said, "I really didn’t get the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire. The Champion Marquis was truly the one who got it."
"Nonsense! No matter how powerful the Champion Marquis is, he couldn’t have broken the Fire Dragon Array. How could he possibly bypass the array and obtain the Anomalous Fire? Your lie is too foolish to deceive ," the Celestial King seethed, his killing intent palpable.
He stared at the Elixir King. "I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire, and I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, this will be a fight to the death."
"Elixir King, what is going on? Give us an explanation! Are you really trying to shift the bla onto soone else?" The Dean’s face turned grim.
Judging by the Celestial King’s expression, he didn’t seem to be lying. Moreover, based on what the Celestial King had said, the Fire Dragon Array was so formidable that even he couldn’t break it, which ant Lin Xuan certainly couldn’t have either. It was therefore impossible for Lin Xuan to have obtained the Anomalous Fire.
It seed the prize had really been taken by the Elixir King. This Elixir King got the Anomalous Fire, yet he pretended to have nothing and ca here to demand it from Lin Xuan. Wasn’t that just setting Lin Xuan up?
At this thought, the Dean’s expression grew even darker, and the other Disciples were furious.
This Elixir King was too despicable! He had actually pinned such a huge accusation on Lin Xuan.
"Damn, if the Celestial King hadn’t shown up, I never would have known this was the truth."
"Pah! What ’Elixir King’? He’s a shaless scoundrel!"
"Exactly! He doesn’t have the guts to admit what he’s done."
"He got the Anomalous Fire himself, so why won’t he admit it? Is it just because he can’t beat the Celestial King?"
"You can’t just drag Lin Xuan down to take the fall for you!"
"Get out of our Heavenly Dao Academy!"
"Our Heavenly Dao Academy doesn’t welco you!"
A chorus of angry shouts erupted. The Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy glared at the Elixir King with hostility.
The Elixir King was so frustrated he could have spat blood. He truly had not obtained the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire, but he found he couldn’t explain himself. The array had been broken by Master Guo, whom he had invited. After the array was broken, he had been the first one inside. But he just hadn’t gotten the Anomalous Fire!
"I swear, I did not get it," the Elixir King said solemnly, raising one hand to the heavens.
"It seems you are unwilling to hand it over. Very well, then I shall subdue you and search you myself to see if the Anomalous Fire is on your person." With that, the Celestial King took a step forward, extending an imnse hand toward the Elixir King.
The Elixir King roared, his form flickering as he quickly dodged.
The Celestial King’s grab missed its mark. He snorted coldly, "You were quite impressive when you destroyed my avatar, weren’t you? Now, let’s see if you can handle my true self. Battle God Fist!"
The Celestial King clenched his hand and threw a punch. The blow was earth-shattering, as if it could obliterate everything in existence.
The space around the Elixir King shook violently, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He sensed a mortal danger. Although both were Kings, the gap in their combat power was imnse. The Elixir King didn’t dare to confront the attack head-on. He swiftly dodged while simultaneously summoning an Alchemy Furnace to block it.
CLANG!
The punch struck the Alchemy Furnace, sending it flying back. The Elixir King was also thrown off his feet. He took control of the furnace and turned to flee.
"Where do you think you’re going?" the Celestial King shouted coldly, giving imdiate chase.
The two figures, one pursuing the other, flew out of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
「Outside.」
mbers of the various families and sects were stunned by the scene.
"Heavens! A battle between Kings!"
"What am I seeing? The Celestial King and the Elixir King are actually fighting!"
"Are they really fighting so fiercely over the Anomalous Fire?"
"Isn’t it too soon for them to fight? The Champion Marquis hasn’t even said who he’ll give the Anomalous Fire to, yet they’re already fighting to the death?"
While everyone was discussing this, the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy stepped forward and announced loudly, "Everyone, this has all been a misunderstanding. Champion Marquis Lin Xuan did not obtain the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire. The one who truly obtained it is the Elixir King! He stole the Anomalous Fire from the territory of the Celestial King’s Mansion. He killed one of the Celestial King’s avatars and made off with the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire. Afraid of being hunted down, he fabricated a lie, claiming Lin Xuan was the one who got it.
"He wanted to divert the disaster onto soone else. Now that the Celestial King has arrived, the truth is out. This matter has nothing to do with Lin Xuan of our Heavenly Dao Academy. I hope everyone will stop focusing their attention on the Heavenly Dao Academy and Lin Xuan."
As soon as this news broke, the entire Great Xia Country was in an uproar. The Anomalous Fire wasn’t in Lin Xuan’s hands, but in the Elixir King’s!
"Damn, that Elixir King got the Anomalous Fire himself and pinned the bla on the Champion Marquis!"
"What a black-hearted, ruthless move."
"No wonder the Celestial King is hunting him down."
"That Elixir King is truly despicable."
"Hmph, and I thought he was so enlightened master. Turns out he’s just a deceitful and shaless snake."
Countless Martial Artists discussed the matter excitedly, all expressing their disdain for the Elixir King. The top Grandmasters, however, remained silent. Although they also found the Elixir King despicable, they didn’t dare say so openly. They all needed favors from him and hoped he would help them with Alchemy in the future.
So even began to take action, rushing toward the Elixir King’s Mansion. This was a great opportunity to help him. If they could make the Elixir King owe them a favor, they might be able to get him to refine an Elixir for them.
The Elixir King fled back to his mansion in a sorry state. As soon as he returned, he imdiately issued a summons, calling for experts from all over the Great Xia Country to co to his aid. He promised that he would not treat anyone who helped him unfairly and would refine Elixirs for them afterward. When this news spread, many experts from the four great families and three major sects took action. In no ti, a host of powerful individuals had gathered at the Elixir King’s Mansion.
Inside the mansion, the Elixir King looked at the assembled experts and said, "Everyone, I must trouble you to help resist the Celestial King. Once this is over, I will be sure to reward you all generously."
"Elixir King, rest assured. We will help you stop the Celestial King."
Individually, these Grandmasters were no match for the Celestial King. However, with so many of them working together, along with the Array Master, Master Guo, they were able to form a defensive array that enveloped the entire mansion.
The Elixir King took so Elixirs to quickly heal his injuries. At the sa ti, he sent out another ssage, "Young Master Lin, I know you have the Anomalous Fire. You cannot absorb the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire, so you might as well give it to . Na your price. Whatever you want, as long as it’s within my power to give, it is yours."
The world was once again in an uproar, with everyone expressing their disdain.
"Damn, the Elixir King is being attacked at his own doorstep, yet he’s still trying to pin the bla on Lin Xuan!"
"That is utterly despicable and shaless."
When the Celestial King heard this, he grew even more furious. So, the Elixir King still refuses to admit it, does he? He calls for backup, tries to turn black into white, and continues to push the bla onto others? Fine. Today, I’ll show you that in the face of absolute power, all your sches are in vain!
The Celestial King roared to the sky. An ancient suit of Battle Armor materialized around him, and a peerless weapon, the Heaven-piercing Halberd, appeared in his hand. He was going to shatter the array and kill the Elixir King
