Wu Fan clasped his fists and said to Manager Chai, "Master, I have come here for a person."

Wu Fan was very polite to Manager Chai, not only because Manager Chai was a Venerate Level Artifact Refiner, but also because Manager Chai’s cultivation was much higher than his.

Therefore, he dared not lay hands on Lin Feng, and outwardly maintained the necessary courtesy.

"Who?" Manager Chai asked.

"Him!" Wu Fan pointed at Lin Feng, his eyes flashing coldly, and said, "He is an enemy of my Witch Clan, having killed nearly a thousand of our younger talents!"

"What?" As Wu Fan said this, both Manager Chai and the other five artifact refiners, as well as Lu Yun and other artifact refining apprentices, were shocked to the core.

Having killed nearly a thousand younger talents of the Witch Clan?

How could this be tolerated?

Although Lu Yun and the other artifact refining apprentices already knew that Lin Feng was an enemy of the Witch Clan, they hadn’t expected the enmity to be this deep!

Lin Feng’s face was somber, his mind racing, his nerves highly tense.

Should the situation change, he would flee immediately, or use Wu Xian as a shield.

For now, he couldn’t let Wu Xian out, lest the Artifact Refiner’s Guild become hostile to him for using a woman as leverage.

"Is this true?" Manager Chai looked at Lin Feng, speaking with a face full of surprise and doubt.

"The Witch Clan wants to kill me, and I naturally won’t sit and wait for death!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice. He didn’t deny it because there was no use in denial.

"Master, you heard him, this person has already admitted it!"

Wu Fan’s eyes turned fiercely murderous, saying sternly, "Therefore, today I must capture this person. I request the Artifact Refiner’s Guild not to intervene!"

In truth, Wu Fan wasn’t confident in capturing Lin Feng, after all, Lin Feng had Wu Xian as a hostage.

But today, even if he couldn’t capture Lin Feng, he had to trap him and think of a way later.

His biggest worry was the Artifact Refiner’s Guild intervening, which would be troublesome!

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng had already communicated with the Void Divine Map; as long as his mind moved, he could release Wu Xian.

He didn’t escape immediately because he knew he couldn’t evade Wu Fan’s pursuit. He was now waiting to see Manager Chai’s attitude.

If Manager Chai decided not to intervene, he would have to immediately use Wu Xian as a shield and then escape with all his might.

Hearing this, Manager Chai frowned deeply, pondering inwardly. He didn’t want to offend the Witch Clan, but he highly valued Lin Feng.

An artifact refiner not even thirty years old!

The Artifact Refining Room was silent, everyone fixated on Manager Chai, awaiting his decision.

Manager Chai’s face was solemn, and after a moment’s pause, he said to Wu Fan, "Sir, this young friend is currently undergoing the guild’s artifact refiner examination, everything will be discussed after his examination!"

"Hmm?" Wu Fan squinted his eyes upon hearing this, what did the other party mean? Could it be they intended to shield Lin Feng?

Others were also slightly startled; Manager Chai’s words clearly indicated intent to intervene in the enmity between the Witch Clan and Lin Feng.

Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of respect toward Manager Chai.

"Master, this person is an unforgivable enemy of the Witch Clan, is it necessary to continue the examination?" Wu Fan said coldly.

"Of course!"

Manager Chai nodded, speaking sternly, "He is undergoing the guild’s artifact refiner examination; no one can interrupt."

"What about after the examination?" Wu Fan asked with an ugly expression.

"If he passes the examination, he will be an artifact refiner of our guild. If he fails, the guild will not interfere in your grievances!" Manager Chai said.

Upon hearing Manager Chai’s words, Wu Fan’s face constantly changed, for this was telling him that if Lin Feng passed the examination, he would be part of the Artifact Refiner’s Guild. If Wu Fan wanted to deal with Lin Feng, the guild would surely intervene.

This enraged Wu Fan, because if Lin Feng joined the guild, he would have a powerful backing, making it more troublesome for them to deal with him in the future.

Everyone was somewhat amazed; Manager Chai was willing to oppose the Witch Clan for Lin Feng.

Lu Yun was even more shocked, not expecting Manager Chai to value Lin Feng so highly.

By bringing Wu Fan here, he had thoroughly offended Lin Feng. If Lin Feng became an artifact refiner, he was doomed.

"Continue the examination!"

Manager Chai ignored Wu Fan, whose face was changing constantly, and announced loudly.

Wu Fan did not stop it because he couldn’t; all he could hope for now was Lin Feng failing the examination.

He only learned today that Lin Feng was actually an artifact refiner.

To become an Artifact Refiner of the Artifact Refiner’s Guild, one needs Emperor Level Qi Refinement skills, which Wu Fan was aware of. He didn’t quite believe Lin Feng had such skills.

A native from the Heavenly Vault World, with Ninth Layer Martial Emperor Realm cultivation, under thirty years old, could he be an Emperor Level Artifact Refiner?

How was that possible?

"Young friend, you need not worry, show your Peak Qi Refinement skills!" Manager Chai said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded, without speaking, and respectfully saluted Manager Chai with a fist.

Afterward, he worked hard to clear his mind of distractions, as this time he must succeed, failure was not an option.

Success meant temporary safety and having the backing of the Artifact Refiner’s Guild; failure meant once again fleeing for his life.

Swish swish swish!!

With a wave of his arms, Lin Feng effortlessly sent over dozens of materials into the Artifact Refining Furnace.

Then, Dark Power surged, and flames boiled within the Artifact Refining Furnace.

Everyone carefully observed Lin Feng’s refining process, each with different thoughts.

Manager Chai certainly hoped for Lin Feng to succeed, while Wu Fan and Lu Yun hoped for Lin Feng to fail.

"I must see if you can refine an Emperor Level weapon!" Wu Fan’s eyes were cold, he thought to himself.

"Please don’t succeed!" Lu Yun secretly prayed.

With several successful experiences, Lin Feng’s refining process was smooth and flowing this time.

Before long, he completed melting over three hundred materials, without a single error.

Then, the liquid began to shape, cool, undergo repeated refining, and finally be quenched.

In just over two hours, the refining was complete.

The furnace cover opened, and within the Qi Refining Furnace, a powerful aura shot into the sky, the imposing presence of an Emperor Level weapon filled the entire Artifact Refining Room.

Was it successful?

Everyone was shaken, was it really successful?

Wu Fan and Lu Yun’s expressions were very ugly, as the aura from the Emperor Level weapon was so palpable that even a fool knew it succeeded.

Lu Yun was overwhelmingly shocked; Lin Feng’s refining skills actually reached Emperor Level!

And Wu Fan, even more shocked than Lu Yun, for he knew Lin Feng came from the Heavenly Vault World—a mere native from there could become an Emperor Level Artifact Refiner, which was simply unimaginable.

"Manager Chai, please authenticate!" Lin Feng waved his arm, and the Heavy Abyss Axe refined in the Qi Refining Furnace flew toward Manager Chai.

Manager Chai caught the Heavy Abyss Axe and immediately scrutinized it seriously.

After a moment, Manager Chai revealed a faint smile, saying, "Not bad, although the quality is somewhat low, it indeed reached the grade of Emperor Level Low Grade!"

Manager Chai’s eyes gleamed. Though the grade of the Heavy Abyss Axe refined by Lin Feng wasn’t high, he was very satisfied.

Because this proved Lin Feng’s unparalleled talent.

Not yet thirty years old, cultivation not reaching Martial Emperor Realm, but an Emperor Level Artifact Refiner—the significance of this was profound.

It could be said that with Lin Feng’s Artifact Refining Talent, becoming a Holy Level Artifact Refining Saint Master in the future wouldn’t be too difficult.

Hearing these words, Lin Feng relaxed a breath in his heart; fortunately, he performed normally.

"Young friend, from today forth, you are officially an Artifact Refiner of the Artifact Refiner’s Guild!" Manager Chai said with a smile.

"Thank you, Manager Chai!" Lin Feng immediately offered his thanks to Manager Chai, having received his acknowledgment, he now had support.

Not far away, Wu Fan’s eyes burned with rage, exuding a strong killing intent.

Lin Feng had joined the Artifact Refiner’s Guild, making it impossible for him to act today, and moreover, dealing with Lin Feng in the future wouldn’t be as simple.

"Young friend, what is your name?" Manager Chai asked, seemingly ignoring the killing intent surrounding Wu Fan, stepping forward to Lin Feng.

He hadn’t inquired about Lin Feng’s name all along, now the evaluation was passed, it naturally needed to be clarified.

"Junior Lin Feng!" Lin Feng saluted with a fist, while keeping a watchful eye on Wu Fan, to prevent sudden attacks.

"Mm!"

Manager Chai nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "Lin Feng, please follow me!"

With those words, Manager Chai headed straight out.

"Wait!"
