Signing in while in Qian Renxue's arms, becoming the main villain of Douluo Continent.

Chapter 613 Bet
"In recent years, the Soul Palace has become increasingly rampant, creating trouble and collecting souls across the continent. A stronger conspiracy is brewing!"

"The disaster hasn't befallen us yet. If everyone chooses to protect themselves, the only outcome will be that we are all swallowed up and eliminated by the Soul Palace!"

"As a top power in the Central Plains, the Pill Tower does not set an example. Instead, it uses the so-called excuse of neutrality to avoid facing the provocation of the Soul Palace. Such a Pill Tower is not worthy of being called a holy land for alchemists, but is a disgrace!"

After the final, resounding sentence faded away, an eerie silence fell over the entire council hall!
All the elders blushed and stammered, trying to refute Lin Fan, but they found that they couldn't find any reason to refute him, because everything Lin Fan said was true!
At this moment, Xuan Yi was also stunned. In his impression, although Lin Fan was exceptionally talented, he was usually carefree and very unserious!

Now he is here, talking at length, analyzing the matter so clearly in just a few words that none of the elders present could find a single word to refute him!

Compared to Lin Fan, she has wasted over 100 years of her life!
Not only Xuan Yi felt this way, but the other elders also had the same feeling!
"Lin Fan is right! Over the years, we don't know how many excellent alchemists have died at the hands of the Soul Hall, both openly and secretly. Anyway, I've had enough of this humiliation!"

"I agree to join the alliance!"

The silence in the room was first broken by a tall elder!
"I agree too. To hell with neutrality! If I don't avenge my father's death, I'm not worthy of being a son!"

Another person stood up. They all had relatives who died at the hands of the Soul Palace. They had endured for so many years, and today, inspired by Lin Fan's words, they finally erupted!

"Nonsense! Are you going to destroy the entire Pill Tower because of your personal grudges? Joining the alliance is tantamount to declaring war on the Soul Palace!"

"You should know that the Soul Palace is backed by the Soul Clan!"

Hou Laoguai was so angry that his beard stood on end. He never expected that Lin Fan would turn two elders to his side in just a few minutes!
"Everyone, calm down!"

At this moment, Elder Sun, who had remained silent, spoke up: "Since everyone is unable to reach an agreement, let's vote. Who agrees to join the alliance?"

Not long after Elder Sun finished speaking, the two elders who had stood up earlier were the first to state their position: "We both agree!"

Elder Sun, Old Monster Hou, and the last elder all objected. Now all eyes were on Xuan Yi. If she agreed to join the alliance, it would be a tie, and the matter could still be discussed. If she objected, then there would be no room for negotiation!
Lin Fan also looked at Xuan Yi, but his face was full of gentle smiles. He did not want to force Xuan Yi to make a choice; the latter only needed to follow his heart.

"I agree to join the alliance."

Xuan Yi struggled for a moment with a complicated expression, then slowly spoke.

"Lin Fan, this is all I can do to help you. From now on, it's up to you how you try to get what you want."

Xuan Yi sighed helplessly. She was very conflicted about her feelings for Lin Fan. How did she end up with such a troublesome person?

With the two sides locked in a stalemate and the vote ending in a tie, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do!

"I have a proposal!"

At this moment, the old monster stood up, breaking the silence.

"Lin Fan, you and I are both ninth-grade alchemists. In that case, let's have a fair duel between alchemists!"

"If the quality of the pills you refine is superior to mine, I will agree to join the alliance. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Hou Laoguai stared at Lin Fan with a slightly narrowed gaze, a surge of excitement rising in his heart!

Despite his advanced age, his arrogance remains as strong as ever. Even though Lin Fan wasn't here for the alliance, he still wanted to spar with him!
"I agree with Old Monster Hou's proposal." "Lin Fan, you have to show some of your strength to invite the Pill Tower to join the alliance. If you win, we old guys will be convinced and have more confidence in fighting the Soul Hall in the future."

"If you dare not accept the challenge or are ultimately defeated, then let the alliance's affairs be over. We do not want to gamble the fate of the entire Dan Tower on an uncertain future!"

Elder Sun stepped forward and spoke, and his words were very reasonable. All the elders present nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I accept this bet!"

Lin Fan agreed without hesitation. If it were before, he might not have been confident of defeating Hou Laoguai, but after breaking through to the advanced semi-saint level, in addition to the increase in his battle qi cultivation, his soul strength also rose accordingly. He had full confidence in refining the ninth-grade pill again!

"Hahaha, it's been many years since I've had a competition. Today, I'll see just how good you are, this young alchemy genius. Let's go to the alchemy plaza!"

Hou Laoguai laughed heartily, appearing extremely excited. After speaking, he took the lead and flew out, with the other elders hurriedly following behind!

Several of them were at the peak of the eighth rank, and being able to watch the competition between ninth-rank alchemists up close had many benefits, so they were very much looking forward to this bet!

"That old fellow has already advanced to the ninth rank for many years. You agreed too rashly!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to step out of the main hall, he heard Xuan Yi's voice transmission in his mind, the latter's tone carrying a hint of anxiety.

"Don't worry, you have to trust your man."

As he transmitted his voice, Lin Fan turned around and gave Xuan Yi a sly smile.

"you!"

Xuan Yi's pretty face instantly turned as red as a sunset, feeling both ashamed and angry. She never expected that she, who was over 100 years old, would be teased by a man one day!
"Fine, I've done all I could to help. If you fail in the end, it's your own fault!"

Watching Lin Fan's departing figure, Xuan Yi gritted his teeth, then stomped the ground hard and followed after him.

In the very center of the Little Pill Realm is a huge suspended platform, upon which a very spacious and sturdy alchemy plaza has been built. The elders usually refine the pills they need here!

Because they are all advanced alchemists, each time a pill is formed, it will inevitably attract pill lightning. Therefore, they set the alchemy location in the sky, otherwise all the precious medicinal materials carefully cultivated below would be destroyed!

"Lin Fan, I've brought out precious medicinal herbs that have been cultivated for a hundred years for this bet, so don't let me down!"

Hou Laoguai held several herbs that emitted a faint glow in his hands, with some fresh, moist soil still clinging to their roots, clearly indicating that they had just been picked!

"Don't worry, this bet will definitely be something you'll never forget!"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Haha, alright, in that case, let's wait and see!"

Seeing this, Hou Laoguai didn't waste any more words. After letting out a cold snort, he flew to the other end of the square, keeping a sufficient distance between them to avoid mutual interference during the alchemy process.

Boom!
