Chapter 118 The Third Kind of Strange Fire, the Tower and the Imperial Star

Danta has always been a gathering place for alchemists. Various figures shuttle back and forth in front of the Danta gate, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of medicine and the residual warmth of the cauldron fire.

But at this moment, the noise seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and the footsteps of people coming and going stopped.

The three giants of Danta, who were so noble in the past that countless alchemists looked up to them, were now walking side by side with a white-haired young man, and escorted him to the door of Danta with a friendly face.

The young man had a tall and straight figure, his sleeves fluttering gently in the wind. He walked with three dignified giants beside him, and he did not seem awkward at all.

Instantly, whispers surged like a tide, then subsided to a whisper. Countless eyes fixed on the young man in white, filled with surprise, inquiry, and unconcealed curiosity.

What is the origin of this young man that he deserves such courtesy from the three giants of Danta?

"We will send you here. I hope you will come to Danta as a guest often. We will make sure to welcome you."

Xuan Kongzi's smiling face was full of kindness.

"Thank you."

Su Yun bowed his hands and clasped his fists, and this thank you seemed more sincere.

The three giants of Danta appeared in public and saw him off all the way. When this news spread, it would be of great benefit to Nether Valley. This was a silent announcement by Xuankongzi and the other two that Nether Valley was a friend of Danta.

Fame is illusory and seems to have no practical use, but Danta's reputation is enough to help the Nether Valley deter villains and gain a foothold in Zhongzhou.

"Who is this? I haven't seen him before."

"I know he's the Netherworld Venerable, the ruthless man who destroyed the Glacier Valley. Tsk, I didn't expect he had this kind of relationship with Danta."

"..."

After hearing everyone's discussion, the smile on Xuan Kongzi's face became three points more compassionate.

"The Nether Valley has just been established, and I still need to go back and take charge, so I won't bother you any more."

"Go."

Su Yun clasped his fists and said goodbye. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into a group of people.

This is a group of young people wearing emerald green robes with intricate patterns embroidered on the fabric. Their sleeves flutter as they walk, giving them the noble demeanor of children from wealthy families.

There was a hint of arrogance between their brows, and when their eyes swept across the surroundings, there was a hint of subtle scrutiny.

At the side of this group of young people stood an old man with white hair and beard. He was gaunt, standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly inconspicuous, but as his deep eyes scanned the surroundings, a glint of brilliance seemed to flash across them.

"Is this Danta?"

The leading young man asked, his eyes full of contempt.

Xuan Kongzi suddenly frowned, but recognized the group's identities from their attire and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Su Yun's brows jumped, and he understood the origins of this group of people.

The person who just spoke was the prodigy of this generation of the Yao clan, Yao Xingji, also known as the Son of Medicine.

During the two years before that in the Northwest Continent, Yao Xingji acted erratically and made a lot of big news. The Alchemist Conference he organized killed countless alchemists.

Gu He and Fa Ma also died indirectly at his hands.

In order to deceive Xiao Yan and lure out Xiao Jibai, the six clans pretended to send away people from the Northwest Continent. Unexpectedly, Yao Xingji came to the Pill Tower to cause trouble.

"This so-called holy land of the mainland alchemists doesn't look that great. It's much worse than my medicine clan."

Yao Xingji curled his lips into an undisguised mockery, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings as if examining something crude. The moment he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Most of the people present were Danta’s disciples or alchemists who came to exchange ideas. In their hearts, Danta was an existence comparable to faith.

Hearing such disrespectful slander, anger instantly filled everyone's faces, and they all cast indignant glances at Yao Xingji. If they weren't afraid of the Yao Clan's power, some would have already spoken out in rebuttal and exchanged insults with Yao Xingji in the street.

Although Danta considers itself neutral and does not get involved in disputes, it has never compromised in protecting the dignity and rights of the alchemist community.

Over the past thousand years, it was thanks to the protection of Danta that alchemists were able to possess a transcendent status on the continent.

Now that Danta was being publicly vilified, it not only slapped Danta in the face, but also pierced the hearts of every alchemist!

Xuan Kongzi said coldly, "The mountain accepts all earth and rocks, so it can reach its height; the sea accepts all streams, so it can reach its depth. Even a tower reaching into the sky cannot do without the support of the earth.

The Dan Tower stands on the earth, and has always taken it as its mission to protect the alchemists of the continent, and is the cornerstone. Unlike the Yao Clan, they regard themselves as the emperor star, hanging in the sky, high above, and dominating. "

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze like two invisible sharp blades, piercing the Medicine Star Pole: "If the 'prodigy' of the Medicine Clan disdains to set foot in the mortal world, then return to heaven as soon as possible!"

Xuan Kongzi's words were almost as if he was saying that Danta did not welcome people from the Yao Clan.

Perhaps the forces in Zhongzhou have a bit of awe and fear towards the Eight Ancient Clans and dare not provoke them.

But Danta’s attitude towards the Medicine Clan is completely different.

Even though Danta will try his best to avoid direct conflict with the Yao Clan, he will never make any concessions to the Yao Clan in words or stance.

When the founder of Danta was young, he was oppressed by the medicine clan, so he vowed to establish Danta to protect alchemists across the continent!
The grudge between the two sides is no less serious than that between the Xiao clan and the Hun clan!
Yao Xingji's face turned pale and blue, and his chest felt stuffy because of Xuan Kongzi's words. He suddenly raised his voice.

"Stop your rhetoric! If Danta is truly confident, would you dare to send out your Danta geniuses to compete with me in alchemy?"

His eyes were full of provocation.

Xuan Kongzi's face darkened. To be fair, the Medicine Clan had a long heritage of tens of thousands of years, while the Dan Tower had only a thousand years of history.

The Yao Clan's prodigy was indeed a cut above the Danta disciples. If they truly accepted this challenge, I'm afraid...

Xuan Kongzi has already sensed that the soul power of the young man in front of him has reached the spiritual realm, and his alchemy skills must be of the eighth level.

Even Dan Chen and Cao Ying, the most outstanding disciples of Danta's generation, still need some time to mature.

The air around them instantly became tense. All the disciples on Danta's side had angry expressions on their faces, but also a hint of embarrassment from lack of confidence. Their eyes unconsciously turned to Xuan Kongzi, waiting for his decision.

Su Yun shook his head gently, a hint of indifference in his eyes.

He was not interested in whether the tower could touch the sun and the moon, or whether the stars hung in the sky.

Back in the Northwest Continent, Su Yun avoided the Alchemist Conference that Yaoxing had been promoting so much, let alone now.

Just as Su Yun turned around and was about to leave quietly, the Nine Nether Wind Flame in Yao Xingji's body suddenly trembled.

"How is this going!"

Yao Xing was extremely shocked and confused. The strange fires could sense each other. Was this vibration caused by Jiuyou Fengyan sensing other powerful strange fires nearby?
He looked around and suddenly his eyes fell on Su Yun.

It's him, it's him!

"and many more!"
