Chapter 1637: Chapter 1635: Alchemist Association

Boom!!

Facing the impact of these three shadows of the Golden Dragon, Luo Lao was utterly shocked and bewildered. At the last moment, he hurriedly mobilized all his strength to resist, summoning a King-tier Cauldron to defend against the strike. Soon, a roaring sound erupted.

Puff!

Luo Lao spat out a mouthful of blood. The King-grade level cauldron in his hand was blown away, and he himself was forced to retreat repeatedly, his face ghostly pale.

If he hadn’t used his cauldron to fend off the attack in time, he would have been severely injured or even killed.

”Your vitality is quite tenacious!”

Xiao Yifeng sneered at Luo Lao and said, ”But you still have to die!”

Soul Extinguishing Three Styles!

Soul Shaking - Destroy!

Xiao Yifeng directly unleashed a soul technique, with powerful soul power erupting from the Five Great Star Souls, transforming into a terrifying torrent directed towards Luo Lao.

”Soul attack!”

Luo Lao instantly detected Xiao Yifeng’s soul power and immediately recognized it as a soul attack, not an ordinary attack using spiritual sense power.

Spiritual consciousness attack merely uses spiritual consciousness born through the soul for an attack, while soul attack is the purest use of soul power for attacking, much stronger than spiritual consciousness attack.

However, to use a soul attack, one must master cultivation techniques and soul techniques for the soul. Otherwise, ordinary people cannot use soul attacks.

Bang!

Just as Luo Lao was about to speak out in shock, the terrifying soul power surged into his mind. Xiao Yifeng’s formidable soul power transformed into a large hammer, crashing into Luo Lao’s soul with terrifying might.

Splutter!

On the spot, Luo Lao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale as his aura disappeared. The soul in his mind was completely annihilated by Xiao Yifeng’s soul attack, unable to resist.

His eyes widened with disbelief as he fell to the ground, dead.

Seeing Luo Lao’s death, Mu Kun and the Pan family’s Hollow Void Realm Third Layer expert’s expressions turned extremely ugly, their eyes full of shock.

”Alright, you can now carry his corpse away!”

Xiao Yifeng glanced at the Pan family expert. Upon meeting Xiao Yifeng’s gaze, the expert trembled, fear overtaking his expression.

”You... you actually killed Luo Lao?”

The Pan family expert found it hard to believe.

”Are you blind?”

Xiao Yifeng sneered.

”Do you know who Luo Lao was? He was a Fourth-level Alchemist, an elder at the Wind Cloud Kingdom branch of the Alchemist Association. You dared to kill him. The Alchemist Association won’t spare you!”

The Pan family expert, hiding his fear with bravado, said to Xiao Yifeng.

”Seems like you also want to die!”

Xiao Yifeng looked at him indifferently, unconcerned with Luo Lao’s identity.

Thanks to the Jade Slip his master left regarding the forces in the Ancient Realm, Xiao Yifeng naturally knew about the Alchemist Association.

In the Ancient Realm, there are three huge associations: the Alchemist Association, the Artifact Refiner Association, and the Formation Master Association. These three associations were created by alchemists, artifact refiners, and formation masters themselves.

They have been around since shortly after the birth of the Ancient Realm, passed down to the present, becoming three extremely large powers in the Ancient Realm.

Unlike clans and sects, these associations recruit alchemists, artifact refiners, and formation masters, nurturing and managing them.

Most martial artists in the Ancient Realm with these three auxiliary abilities join these associations to gain access to numerous resources and better training.

The Alchemist Association is the largest among the three, comprising entirely alchemists or those with potential to become alchemists.

It is the place with the most alchemists, except for Dan Sect. The Dan Sect’s alchemists only serve the sect, loyal to it alone.

In contrast, alchemists from the Alchemist Association can become Honored Offerers or Elders of other sect families, enjoying more freedom. The two often find themselves in competition.

Compared to the Dan Sect, the Alchemist Association is much larger, with many branches in East Province, South Desolation, West Region, and North Sea, recruiting local alchemists for management and training.

They also select alchemists with potential to send to the headquarters of the Alchemist Association in the East Province for focused training. There’s also a branch in Wind Cloud City of Wind Cloud Kingdom.

Luo Lao was a member of this branch, one even the Imperial Family of Wind Cloud Kingdom dared not offend, given its backing by the vast Alchemist Association. To anger them might spell the instant destruction of the entire kingdom.

In the Ancient Realm, alchemists can refine numerous elixirs to enhance martial artists’ strength. Thus, they are highly esteemed. A Fifth-level Alchemist can command a group of Divine Soul Realm experts to serve them.

Not to mention Sixth, Seventh, or even Eighth-level Alchemy Grandmasters, whose commands can mobilize numerous martial arts experts to do their bidding. Destroying a kingdom is nothing significant for them.

But to Xiao Yifeng, none of this mattered. He wouldn’t hold back out of fear for a single force.

Before arriving in the Ancient Realm, he already offended massive powers like the Kunlun Divine Palace, the Angel Clan, and the Diyi Divine Clan, so he naturally wouldn’t care about offending the Alchemist Association now.

At this point, the Pan family expert didn’t dare speak further, swiftly leaving with Luo Lao’s corpse.

”You...”

Mu Fangtian looked at Xiao Yifeng but didn’t know what to say. He didn’t expect the young man to be so powerful and audacious, daring to kill a member of the Alchemist Association.

”Your son was injured by my disciple, but it was his own fault, and I will protect the Mu Family.”

Xiao Yifeng directly said to Mu Fangtian.

”No, it was all my son’s wrong doing, unrelated to the gentleman. Since you are friends with Ziyi and Ziqi, please continue staying at the Mu Family!”

Mu Fangtian suddenly spoke, surprising Mu Ziqi beside him.

Xiao Yifeng also glanced at Mu Fangtian with a hint of surprise, but since the latter allowed him to stay, he said nothing more, leaving with Yun Tianxiao and Li Zitong.

”Father, why did you suddenly decide to keep him? Aren’t you afraid Auntie will be angry?”

Mu Ziqi asked Mu Fangtian.

”He killed Luo Lao. The Alchemist Association’s Wind Cloud Kingdom branch won’t let this pass; they will come to the Mu Family for him. If he leaves...”

”When they can’t find him and take their anger out on our Mu Family, wouldn’t that spell disaster for us? Hence, it’s better to keep him at the Mu Family and hand him over to the Alchemist Association to deal with.”
