Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 585: The Lion’s Big Mouth

"Brother Long Yan, Emperor Father is in this main hall, let’s go in together."

Jun Wuhui and Yan Wubing brought Long Yan to the outside of a main hall, and then, the three entered.

In the hall, a middle-aged man sat in the first place, full of momentum, the Jiu Xiao Emperor.

Besides him, there was one more person, Jun Wuyou.

It was clear that the Jiu Xiao Emperor and Jun Wuyou were waiting for Long Yan’s arrival.

"Emperor Father."

"Master."

Jun Wuhui and Yan Wubing greeted the Jiu Xiao Emperor respectfully at the same time.

Long Yan merely glanced at the Jiu Xiao Emperor indifferently, without any action.

He was somewhat surprised to see Jun Wuyou here, and an ominous feeling lingered between them.

Seeing that Long Yan was unmoved, both Jun Wuhui and Yan Wubing frowned. They didn’t expect Long Yan to have this attitude, and neither of them knew what to say.

"Long Yan, how dare you not kneel and greet? Do you want to die?"

At this moment, Jun Wuyou shouted, his gaze fell on Long Yan, and killing intent danced in his eyes.

Originally, he could have had ten quotas for the Demon Sky Remains, but because of Long Yan, he only got five.

"Jun Wuyou, do you believe that I can crush you with just one finger?"

Long Yan’s gaze moved to Jun Wuyou, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was also somewhat playful.

"You..."

Jun Wuyou was momentarily speechless, as if a big stone had been pressed against his chest, making even his breathing difficult. Flames were about to burst from his eyes.

Just as Jun Wuyou was about to erupt, the Jiu Xiao Emperor waved his hand to stop him.

"You are Long Yan?"

Ever since Long Yan entered the main hall, the Jiu Xiao Emperor had been watching him. Long Yan was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, which surprised the emperor.

"Since you already know, what’s the point of asking again."

Long Yan gave a faint smile.

The words of the Jiu Xiao Emperor were completely nonsense.

With his gaze focused, the Jiu Xiao Emperor promptly said: "You have won nine consecutive battles and won the championship of the Four Directions God Battle for the Jiu Xiao Dynasty. How about joining the Jiu Xiao Dynasty?"

After that, he added: "As long as you join the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, this emperor can cultivate you as the focus. Within five years, you can breakthrough to Seven Turned Emperor Realm at least."

The promise from the Jiu Xiao Emperor was absolutely attractive. If it was someone else, they probably would agree without much consideration.

"Your offer holds no attraction for me, I will not join the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, and the Zhenyang Sect will not become subordinate to the Jiu Xiao Dynasty."

Long Yan’s tone was very firm, without any room for maneuver. That was his attitude.

"How impudent!"

Jun Wuyou immediately scolded coldly, "Long Yan, don’t be ungrateful. In the face of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, the Zhenyang Sect is nothing. With just one order from me, the Zhenyang Sect can be wiped out in an instant."

This was a naked threat.

"You can give it a try."

Long Yan’s gaze immediately turned cold, with a chill in his voice.

Jun Wuhui didn’t speak, but he firmly stood with Long Yan. So did Yan Wubing.

"Long Yan, perhaps you don’t know, but when this emperor asked you to join the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, it was for your protection."

The Jiu Xiao Emperor said, "At Beichuan Desert Sea, you saved Yu Kun from the sand bandits. You have the key related to the Order of the Holy Fire, don’t you?"

"The Order of the Holy Fire."

Hearing the words, Jun Wuhui and Yan Wubing’s faces changed. Naturally, they knew that the Order of the Holy Fire was very important. If Long Yan was involved with it, then trouble would surely follow.

Jun Wuyou, on the other hand, showed no surprise, as nine out of ten, the Jiu Xiao Emperor had told him about it beforehand.

"The news has spread so quickly?"

Long Yan’s gaze darkened slightly.

He knew the news of the Order of the Holy Fire would eventually leak out, but he didn’t expect it to be so quick.

"I did save Yu Kun, but as for the Order of the Holy Fire, I have no idea."

The matter of the Holy Fire Order was of great importance; it must not be exposed. Once exposed, not only him but also the entire Zhenyang Sect would face catastrophic consequences.

"Long Yan, hand over the Order of the Holy Fire. It’s for your own good. The responsibility that comes with the Holy Fire Order is not something you should bear."

The Jiu Xiao Emperor’s tone became somewhat colder.

"So that’s your real aim, isn’t it?"

At this point, Long Yan realized that the Jiu Xiao Emperor wanted to meet him for the Order of the Holy Fire.

"I don’t have the Holy Fire Order in my possession."

Long Yan said.

"Then hand over the key and reveal the whereabouts of the Holy Fire Order."

The Jiu Xiao Emperor’s face darkened slightly and then spoke.

Yu Kun was already dead, so he must have told Long Yan the location of the key and the Holy Fire Order.

"I indeed found a key on Yu Kun’s body, but he didn’t tell me the Holy Fire Order’s whereabouts, so I have no idea."

After opening the black box, Long Yan had kept the key all along.

"I never make a losing deal. If you want the key, you’ll have to exchange it for something."

This key was of no use to him, but he wouldn’t give it up easily. To surrender it carelessly would only raise suspicions.

"Long Yan, this emperor doesn’t want to make things difficult for you, but some things are beyond your control."

The Jiu Xiao Emperor’s tone grew colder; he was determined to acquire the Holy Fire Order.

"If push comes to shove, I’ll destroy the key so that no one can obtain the Holy Fire Order."

A cold smile appeared on Long Yan’s face. He held the initiative and was not afraid of the Jiu Xiao Emperor’s threats.

The Jiu Xiao Crown Prince of the past couldn’t take advantage of him, and it was even less likely now.

Despite the fact that the current Jiu Xiao Emperor was no longer the Jiu Xiao Crown Prince of the past.

The Jiu Xiao Emperor’s gaze sharpened, and a trace of killing intent flashed unnoticed deep in his eyes.

"State your terms."

If Long Yan really destroyed the key, that would be troublesome. Therefore, he must stabilize Long Yan.

Long Yan’s mouth turned up slightly; he was skilled at making demands.

"One hundred top-quality spiritual veins, five hundred Emperor-grade medicinal materials, and one Tenth-Grade Dao Artifact."

These were Long Yan’s terms, as well as the value he placed on the key.

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuhui and Yan Wubing inhaled sharply. Long Yan truly dared to make demands; he was like a lion opening his mouth wide.

"Why don’t you just rob someone? You’re not afraid of being bloated to death?"

Jun Wuyou said in annoyance.

"Better bloated to death than starved to death. I’m a man of my word. As long as you can come up with these things, I’ll give you the key right away."

Long Yan said.

The key was related to the Holy Fire Order, and if it were to be auctioned, this price would not be considered high.

"Long Yan, you’re too naive. What bargaining chip do you have to negotiate terms with this emperor? In front of me, you have no say."

The Jiu Xiao Emperor’s face suddenly turned cold.

At that instant, a powerful and imposing aura spread throughout the Great Hall. The pressure of this aura was like a giant mountain pressing down on Long Yan.

"I’m giving you a chance to save your life; hand over the key and the whereabouts of the Holy Fire Order."
