Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1662 - 1652: A Bet

"Huangshan Ancestor has arrived. The Supreme Hall is truly formidable,"

muttered Suofeng Ghost Emperor, his expression instantly becoming solemn.

Huangshan Ancestor was a well-known figure, and even among the Three Divine Tribulations, he stood at a lofty height. The pressure he brought to Zhenyang Sect was much greater than that of the Qilin King.

It wasn’t just Suofeng Ghost Emperor; Chaos Sky Peng and others also wore solemn expressions. Handling just the Demon God Emperor Palace was already troublesome enough, and with the arrival of the Supreme Hall at this time, it made things even more difficult.

"Huangshan Ancestor, who’d have thought you would come in person,"

said the Qilin King with a light laugh.

The arrival of the Supreme Hall at this time was naturally a good thing. With the Supreme Hall and Demon God Emperor Palace joining forces, Zhenyang Sect had no choice but to bow down.

"Concerning the Godson, this seat naturally has reasons that compel attendance here,"

replied Huangshan Ancestor.

Like the Demon God Emperor Palace, upon receiving the news, the Supreme Hall had rushed over immediately. Although they were slightly slower than the Demon God Emperor Palace, they arrived nearly at the same time.

"You coming in person can’t just be about the Godson, can it?"

The Qilin King probed, clearly with the intention of stirring up trouble on behalf of Zhenyang Sect.

"Zhenyang Sect has some audacity, to have slain hundreds from the Supreme Hall. This debt, naturally, must be settled,"

Huangshan Ancestor stated plainly, his words also intended for the ears of everyone from Zhenyang Sect.

"Now that you’re all here, let’s settle our accounts together."

It was at this moment that Chaos Sky Peng spoke, "Both the Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall have destroyed a branch of Zhenyang Sect. ’A life for a life, a debt repaid’ is an ancient rule; those who acted must die, and neither Young Master Qilin nor the Godson are exceptions."

"Since you all have arrived, I’ll give you some face and hand over the corpses of Young Master Qilin and the Godson,"

said Chaos Sky Peng as he swept his sleeve, a wave of momentum surging forth. Zhenyang Sect had always been thus, not giving an inch, even in the face of figures like the Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor.

"How bold of Zhenyang Sect. If you dare touch my son, I will turn Zhenyang Sect into ruins in an instant,"

the Qilin King roared suddenly, his icy tone carrying the momentum of the Second Divine Calamity, chilling to the marrow.

"If anything happens to the Godson, the Supreme Hall will not let it go easily. The fury of the Supreme Hall is not something everyone can endure,"

declared Huangshan Ancestor, his tone cooling as well, his robe billowing as a surge in energy hinted at his readiness to start a conflict.

"You really think you can threaten Zhenyang Sect?"

Chaos Sky Peng’s momentum shook as he unleashed a powerful surge, his piercing gaze locking onto both the Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor.

At the same time, Long Chengtian, Lei Zhan, and the Four Heavenly Monarchs also displayed fluctuations in their momentum, all ready for battle.

The overwhelming momentum merged, solidifying the air all around as if a slumbering ancient beast were awakening.

The mere presence of this momentum caused those from the Demon God Emperor Palace and Supreme Hall to quiver.

Although the Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor were powerful, in terms of overall strength, Zhenyang Sect definitely had the upper hand. It could not be denied that Zhenyang Sect certainly had hidden strengths.

The cold gazes of the Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor also reflected contemplation. The people of Zhenyang Sect were lunatics, not to be trifled with. Should a battle ensue, they would definitely not have the advantage.

"The Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall have destroyed a branch of Zhenyang Sect, and Zhenyang Sect has slain hundreds from the Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall. How about this, we write off this grudge, hand over Young Master Qilin and the Godson, and we’ll pretend none of this ever happened. How does that sound?"

After some thought, Huangshan Ancestor proposed a compromise, which was a concession from both sides.

The Qilin King did not speak, but it was clear he also agreed with Huangshan Ancestor’s suggestion.

Their purpose for this trip was the same, primarily to rescue Young Master Qilin and the Godson from the Zhenyang Sect. Once this step was completed, there would be no more concerns.

"Impossible!"

Chaos Sky Peng flatly refused, his tone very firm, "Young Master Qilin and the Godson are the masterminds, they must pay the price."

How could he not know what Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor were plotting? Naturally, he wouldn’t agree.

"Long Yan, do you really want to go to war with the Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall?"

Qilin King said coldly, his tone even more chilling than before.

This uncompromising attitude of Chaos Sky Peng truly infuriated him.

"Hmph, you know very well what you are thinking. The Demon God Emperor Palace, the Supreme Hall, and the Zhenyang Sect are irreconcilable. Do you really think I’m a three-year-old child, believing that by releasing Young Master Qilin and the Godson, the grudges between the Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall will be wiped out? What a joke!"

Chaos Sky Peng snorted coldly, his words resonant and forceful, each word ringing clear.

"You’re right, the Demon God Emperor Palace and the Supreme Hall are naive, but we are not!"

Lei Zhan added timely.

It was clearly a trap; only a fool would jump into it.

"What exactly do you want for you to release them?"

Huangshan Ancestor asked, his tone revealing that he was out of options.

"Releasing them is impossible, you might as well give up on that idea, unless it’s a life for a life, your two lives in exchange for those two."

Lei Xiaotian spoke disdainfully and provocatively.

"What a life for a life!"

Qilin King swept his arm, unleashing a torrent of momentum, "Long Yan, how about we make a wager, do you dare?"

"How do you want to wager?"

Chaos Sky Peng asked.

"Right now, Zhenyang Sect, on this Southern Wasteland Continent, is at the peak of its power, its strength also extraordinary. Today, let’s set up three duels, each side sending people to fight, best two out of three. If Zhenyang Sect loses, then hand over my son and the Godson, if Zhenyang Sect wins, we will withdraw."

Qilin King said, then turned to Huangshan Ancestor, "I suppose you have no objections to this proposal?"

Right now, this was the best solution.

"This Seat has no objections, I fear only that Zhenyang Sect dares not."

Huangshan Ancestor spoke indifferently, seeing it as a good solution too.

"Long Yan, do you dare?"

Qilin King looked provocatively at Chaos Sky Peng.

"Sect Leader, we don’t need to agree to their terms."

Lei Zhan whispered to Chaos Sky Peng.

It was clear that Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor were scheming against Zhenyang Sect. Both Qilin King and Huangshan Ancestor were not simple characters, and although Zhenyang Sect had Long Chengtian, dealing with Huangshan Ancestor was very difficult.

This bet put Zhenyang Sect at a complete disadvantage.
