Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1496 - 1486 - A Gambling Game (Part 1)_1

The Destruction Storm gradually subsided, and the shattered space was gradually restored. The figures of Long Yan, Ling Zhan, and Ling Tian gradually became clearer.

Ling Zhan and Ling Tian were covered in blood, fresh blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. Their faces were pale and their breaths were almost non-existent, obviously at the end of their strengths.

On the other side, Long Yan’s mouth was also bloody, clearly injured, but far less than Ling Zhan and Ling Tian.

The Twin Moon Soul Hook Seal was indeed powerful, even the Nine Suns Melting Furnace didn’t gain any advantage. This final move resulted in a stalemate, with both parties wounded.

If Ling Zhan and Ling Tian had used the Twin Moon Soul Hook Seal in their prime, they might have been able to kill at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"Seems like you brothers have no strength to fight again. This battle, you lost."

Long Yan looked at Ling Zhan and Ling Tian and spoke lightly, without any emotional tone.

Ling Zhan and Ling Tian were clearly at the end of their ropes. If he wanted to kill them, he could do so effortlessly.

"Whether you want to kill me or not, do as you wish. In 18 years, I will be as good as new."

Ling Tian snorted coldly, evidently not admitting defeat. But he had lost and he knew it.

"Fair in love and war."

Ling Zhan took a step forward and said to Long Yan: "Long Yan, if you want to kill us, we won’t blink an eye. And if you don’t kill us, we will follow you."

In this battle, they had lost, and they had accepted defeat wholeheartedly.

"Big Brother, what are you talking about? Why should we follow him?"

At these words, Ling Tian immediately felt something was wrong and exclaimed.

He wished he could kill Long Yan and absolutely would not follow Long Yan’s commands.

"Second Brother, trust me."

Ling Zhan indicated for Ling Tian not to be impatient, he had his own plan.

"What makes you think I won’t kill you?"

Long Yan asked. At the same time, he slowly retracted his momentum into his body.

"Although I haven’t known you for long, I know that you are not kind-hearted. If you wanted to kill us, you wouldn’t have waited until now,"

As he spoke, Ling Zhan took out a Storage Ring and threw it directly to Long Yan: "This is the Storage Ring of the King of life-marked poison, I don’t know what’s inside. This rightly belongs to you."

After a pause, Ling Zhan continued: "Long Yan, I understand what you’re after. As for the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, we lost, fair and square. You made the first move against us and we barely survived. In the end, you saved us and handed the King of life-marked poison to me for revenge. So, we’ll call it even."

Ling Zhan knew perfectly well that if it weren’t for Long Yan, they would have died at the hands of the King of life-marked poison, let alone seek revenge on him.

Long Yan had tricked them at first but later saved them and gave them Emperor Grade Elixirs, they were even.

"And then?"

Long Yan’s mouth curled up in an almost invisible smile.

"Long Yan, you’re someone with potential. We lost to you in this battle and we accepted it wholeheartedly. I think, you gave us this opportunity to make us admit defeat. Now, whether to kill or spare us, it’s all up to you."

Long Yan had done so much for them, and Ling Zhan understood what his goal was.

This battle was a gamble between them and Long Yan, and they accepted defeat graciously.

"Welcome to the Zhenyang Sect!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Finally, a smile appeared on Long Yan’s face.

He indeed intended to pull Ling Zhan and Ling Tian to his side, otherwise he wouldn’t have helped them out, not to mention leaving the King of life-marked poison to them, and wouldn’t have given them the opportunity for this battle.

"I’m afraid even if we don’t want to join the Zhenyang Sect, we can’t leave here."

Ling Zhan smiled faintly, though his smile was somewhat bitter.

He and Ling Tian were able to make it this far, they weren’t people who lacked judgement.

Long Yan just smiled, without saying anything.

Indeed, he was not kind-hearted. If Ling Zhan and Ling Tian didn’t understand his intentions despite his efforts, he would definitely kill them.

"Big Brother, I disagree!"

Ling Tian immediately opposed. He wished he could kill Long Yan, and absolutely wouldn’t follow Long Yan’s orders.

"Second Brother, aren’t you going to listen to me?"

Ling Zhan had almost put his elder brother’s authority on display.

Now, they didn’t have a choice, either join the Zhenyang Sect or die.

"Big Brother, I..."

Ling Tian’s fists were clenched, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

In this world, he could ignore anyone else’s words, but he couldn’t ignore his big brother’s words.

After thinking for a while, Ling Tian said to Long Yan: "Long Yan, I can join the Zhenyang Sect, but on one condition."

"What condition?"

Long Yan’s eyebrows raised. He was not surprised.

"I am indeed not your match right now, but I will surpass you eventually. When that happens, I will take revenge on you."

Ling Tian couldn’t swallow that resentment forever.

"Okay, work hard!"

Long Yan gave a faint response, then spoke with a serious expression.

"You..."

Ling Tian was so angry. He vowed to train diligently until he could get his revenge.

"There are less than eight days left. The Gathering of the Sacred Fire Order will be on Lingmang Plateau. If you are interested, you are welcome to join me."

Long Yan ignored Ling Tian and changed the topic.

"The Gathering of the Sacred Fire Order!"

At these words, both Ling Zhan and Ling Tian’s expressions changed. Although they didn’t know much about Saint Heaven Sect, they understood the importance of the Sacred Fire Order. Attending the Gathering of the Sacred Fire Order could provide them with opportunities.

"Of course we’re going!"

Almost without thinking, Ling Zhan and Ling Tian both spoke in unison.

"We will set off for Lingmang Plateau in five days. You two should go and heal yourselves."

Long Yan casually tossed the Storage Ring of the King of life-marked poison to Ling Zhan and said, "Whatever is in this ring, use it for cultivation. Things I, Long Yan, give away, I don’t plan to take back."

Then, Long Yan took out two Emperor Grade Elixirs, one for each of the Ling brothers.

"With these two elixirs, five days is enough for you to recover from your injuries. Let’s go back!"

Immediately after, Long Yan, Ling Zhan, Ling Tian, Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, Suofeng Ghost Emperor left the swamp and flew towards the Black Gold Mansion.

One hour later, all six of them returned to the Black Gold Mansion. Ling Zhan and Ling Tian went straight into seclusion to heal their injuries.

In the depths of the mansion, Long Yan, the Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, and Suofeng Ghost Emperor sat together in a courtyard.

"I knew you had a plan. Those two young ones are impressive. They are full of potential. If cultivated properly, they surely can become pillars of the Zhenyang Sect."

The Evil Emperor gave Long Yan a thumbs up. Getting Ling Zhan and Ling Tian on board was definitely more worthwhile than pulling in two Emperor Realm Peak practitioners.
