Alchemy Master

Chapter 367, Siege of Alchemy Central

Translator: Silavin

Li Zhengping had actually dared to bring troops to surround Alchemy Central – this was absolutely unprecedented!

“Chairman Hai, if you don’t want innocent Alchemy Masters in Alchemy Central to get hurt, then please hand over Qin Yichen!”

Faced with the angry questioning roar from Alchemy Central’s Chairman Hai, Li Zhengping showed no sign of backing down, his eyes filled with madness.

With this move, Li Zhengping had basically declared that he was going all-in – for behind him, behind the Li Family, there was no path of retreat!

One step back would mean falling into the abyss!

Chairman Hai’s face was grim. He did not think Li Zhengping would dare be so bold!

However, at this moment he was more anxious than anything else.

Although Alchemy Masters had great power to rally others, that required time.

Moreover, at this moment, Alchemy Central was not facing an ordinary Family, but the Li Family on the edge of madness!

Success would mean the Li Family could rest easy! Failure would leave the Li Family with only the path of demise!

At this moment, the Li Family was definitely like a rabid dog – who would want to provoke a rabid dog at this time?

“Li Zhengping, do you really think Alchemy Central is so easy to bully?” Chairman Hai said in a low voice.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!* As Chairman Hai’s voice fell, over ten Martial Kings flew out from Alchemy Central, standing in mid-air, coldly looking at the troops below – these were the Martial Kings recruited by Qin Yichen.

“Chairman Hai, I apologize for the offense today. I will personally come to make amends another day!”

However, faced with the deterrence of these ten-plus Martial Kings, Li Zhengping showed not the slightest bit of fear.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!* Following Li Zhengping’s shout, from behind him, there similarly emerged more than ten Martial Kings, facing off against the opponent.

When it came to comparing Martial Kings’ combat strength, the deeply established Li Family was not at all afraid of these independent cultivators!

Upon seeing the ten-plus Martial Kings emerge from the Li Family’s side, these independent cultivators’ faces all grew somewhat ugly.

If they really fought, facing experts of the same level. carefully nurtured by a Major Family, they had no guarantee of victory.

Moreover, if over twenty Martial Kings fought here, forget about just Alchemy Central – this entire street would be destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle.

As if both sides were aware of this point, these Martial King ss all faced off at a distance, with neither side making the first move for now.

“Capture Qin Yichen alive!” Li Zhengping coldly glanced at those independent cultivators, shouting angrily. Once the opposing Martial Kings were tied up, the troops in front of Alchemy Central immediately began to move.

“Stop!” Just as these soldiers were about to break down the doors and enter, a powerful shout rang out like thunder, suddenly exploding in this patch of the sky, making everyone’s ears painfully ring.

The soldiers outside Alchemy Central, hearing this great shout, could not help but stop their steps, looking up at the figure that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

That figure was unusually robust. From the aura emanating from his body, he was only at the Early Stage Martial King Realm. However, the weapon in this giant’s hands made countless people’s eyelids twitch.

Two giant hammers, bigger than the giant himself, were casually twisting around his hands as if they were playthings. Those dark red dried bloodstains further proved that the hammers’ owner was no gentle character.

“Who are you?!” Seeing an Early Stage Martial King block him, Li Zhengping’s brows furrowed as he coldly snorted.

“By the Grand Marshal’s order, I’m here to arrest the traitors!” The giant roared.

“The Grand Marshal’s order? Hmph, when did I, the Grand Marshal, arrange for you to black me? Moreover, the traitors are still inside Alchemy Central!” Li Zhengping coldly snorted, pointing at Alchemy Central to indicate to the latter.

However, the giant holding the huge hammers paid no attention to Li Zhengping’s shouts. He leaped down from mid-air, landing in front of Li Zhengping.

*Thud! Thud!* As this giant landed, suddenly, orderly footsteps rang out. At this moment, it seemed as if even the ground itself was trembling.

Everyone turned to look toward the source of the sound. They saw a black calvary flooding into their view like a great tide.

“That flag! It’s the Iron-Blooded Calvary! The Carefree Prince had returned!”

Upon seeing the Iron-Blooded Calvary, shocked cries immediately rang out. After all, anyone in the Great Prosperity Grand Empire with any knowledge would be familiar with them!

“The Carefree Prince has returned? Has the border crisis been resolved?”

“Haha, he is truly the Carefree Prince! To think he has resolved a million strong army with a tenth the number!”

“Not just the Carefree Prince – wasn’t there also a War God wielding two giant hammers? If not for him single-handedly holding back that million-strong army for one day, how could the Ancient Mountain Pass have held until the Carefree Prince arrived?” Upon seeing the Iron-Blooded Calvary, cheers rang out one after another. Many spectating commoners cheered for their return – the Iron-Blooded Calvary’s return certainly meant the border crisis had been resolved!

“Wait… the War God wielding the giant hammers…”

At some point, as if everyone had realised something, the cheers suddenly died down.

Countless gazes, filled with passionate light, looked toward that singular robust figure.

With the appearance of the Iron-Blooded Calvary, and the daring rebuke of Li Zhengping, this giant’s identity was obvious to them!

These past few days, in the Great Prosperity Grand Empire, bards had been reciting, with countless people worshipping the Grand Empire’s War God!

Hearing the cheers one after another, Li Zhengping also guessed the identity of the giant who had stopped him. His expression became extremely grim.

This was not because of this man’s identity, but rather because the allied armies had actually failed!

The Grand Marshal’s order that this giant mentioned! It certainly did not refer to him! The actual appointed Grand Marshal!

The Iron-Blooded Calvary had always had only one Grand Marshal, and that was… the Carefree Prince, Xia Zelei!

[The Carefree Prince has returned!? How is that possible!? That was a million-strong army! The Iron-Blooded Calvary, led by the Carefree Prince, could not possibly have defeated them!]

[Wait. He said he was here to arrest traitors? Does he mean me? Wouldn’t this mean the Li Family’s gambit had failed!?]

At this moment, Li Zhengping’s heart was panicking!

What he had feared most had finally happened.

He knew that even with him leading, his troops would never act against the Carefree Prince!

Faced with the new and old War Gods, whether his subordinates would turn against him at the critical moment was an extremely serious question.

There was a way to prevent his subordinate soldiers from causing trouble. In just two breaths’ time, Li Zhengping had come up with the idea of recruiting the new War God.

“Sir, as long as you help the Second Prince ascend the throne, whatever you want, my Li Family will get it for you!”

Li Zhengping gritted his teeth and said in a low voice to the mythologized giant before him.

Hearing Li Zhengping’s words, contemptuous voices immediately rang out from the crowd – the Carefree Prince had returned triumphant, yet the traitor, Li Zhengping, actually still wanted to recruit the Grand Empire’s new War God!
