BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: I'll Just Sit Here Today



Upon hearing Yun Leng's words, Fa Ma, the Chairman of the Alchemist Association, couldn't help but change his expression. Yun Leng's words were unpleasant to hear, yet they reflected the truth. He, Fa Ma, could still protect Xiao Yan even if he offended the Jia Ma Imperial Family, but it was a different story when it came to the Misty Cloud Sect. The Misty Cloud Sect was too influential, and the strength of the Alchemist Association was indeed insufficient to oppose them.

"Old Fa, aren't you going to lend a hand? No matter what, Xiao Yan is an Honorary Elder of your Alchemist Association," Jia Xing Tian suddenly turned to Fa Ma and said.

"Looking at the current situation, that Yun Leng is determined to detain Xiao Yan. Even if I step forward, I'm afraid he won't change his mind. Moreover, I've heard that Xiao Yan seems to have some deal with your imperial family. Isn't the Jia Ma Imperial Family going to take action?" Fa Ma asked Jia Xing Tian in return.

In their hearts, both genuinely wanted to help Xiao Yan, but the Misty Cloud Sect made them extremely apprehensive. If anything went wrong, the entire Jia Ma Empire could be turned upside down.

One must know that the strongest 6th-tier alchemist, Gu He, was a Guest Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. If the Misty Cloud Sect decided to purge the Alchemist Association, with Gu He's reputation, many alchemists might side with them.

It was just as Yun Leng said. Although the Alchemist Association was powerful, it wasn't the most powerful. In the Jia Ma Empire, the Misty Cloud Sect stood above all factions, including the Alchemist Association.

However, only Xiao Yan truly understood the reasons behind everything at this moment.

What gave Yun Leng such confidence was not the Misty Cloud Sect itself but the Hall of Souls hidden behind it, or rather, secretly controlling the entire Misty Cloud Sect. That was Yun Leng's source of boldness!

Xiao Yan's current status could be described as commanding widespread support. As the most promising 5th-tier alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, everyone wanted to foster a good relationship with him. Many were even wary of the power he wielded. Far from daring to offend him, they wouldn't even raise their voices in his presence.

But there just happened to be one organization in this world that not only did not fear alchemists but, in their eyes, considered alchemists the best prey. Capturing alchemists not only didn't bring worries of retaliation but also came with generous rewards!

And Xiao Yan knew that this organization was hidden within the Misty Cloud Sect.

'This Yun Leng isn't that stupid after all. With my current value, if converted into 'Soul Points,' I'm afraid I'd be worth more than Yao Ao's soul body.' Xiao Yan wasn't bragging about himself. This was simply a fact.

Not only did he have astonishing Spiritual Strength, but he also possessed a Heavenly Flame. Such value absolutely surpassed the soul body of a 7th-tier alchemist.

One had to know that the Hall of Souls possessed a secret technique to extract Heavenly Flames. Others might not necessarily be able to kill someone and seize their Heavenly Flame, but the Hall of Souls could. To them, an alchemist possessing a Heavenly Flame held immeasurable value.

Therefore, as Yun Leng's 'colleague,' Xiao Yan deeply understood his crazed recklessness. Xiao Yan glanced at Gu He, who was watching the spectacle from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy. Although Gu He appeared free and at ease, able to leave the Misty Cloud Sect at any time, in reality, he was like a trapped bird. People from the Hall of Souls would capture him the moment he truly intended to leave the sect.

Gu He was safe now only because he still had value to be exploited.

'Since you've thrown yourself into the net, Yun Leng, don't blame me. Greed must pay its price.' Xiao Yan thought to himself as he looked at Yun Leng with a touch of pity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Although I did wish to stay at the Misty Cloud Sect for a couple of days, it wasn't meant to be in this manner."

"I'll just sit here today, and I want to see whether you, Yun Leng, truly have the ability to detain me." Xiao Yan sat on the palanquin in a grand manner, actually waiting for others to come and capture him!

Yun Leng waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Enforcement Team, seize him!"

Over a dozen white figures shot forth the moment his words fell. Their Dou Qi surged wildly as they surrounded Xiao Yan in an instant. These cold-faced Misty Cloud Sect enforcers flipped their hands without hesitation, and long swords flashed out. With a swing, more than ten sword shadows closed in on Xiao Yan.

The four secret guards carrying the palanquin from the Miteer Clan sprang into action immediately. These four 1-star Dou Spirits each launched a palm strike in four directions. The terrifying collision of Dou Qi nullified the combined attack of over ten Dou Grandmasters.

Yun Leng looked at Miteer Tengshan among the distant spectators with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice, "Well, well, Miteer Clan, are you intending to become enemies with my Misty Cloud Sect?!"

Miteer Tengshan spread his hands innocently, "First Elder Yun Leng, you've misunderstood. These secret guards are all Mr. Xiao Yan's subordinates and have nothing to do with the Miteer Clan."

A flash of killing intent appeared in Yun Leng's eyes. He waved his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "All Deacons and Law Enforcement Elders, attack!"

"Understood!"

As soon as Yun Leng's command fell, Ge Ye beside him was surprisingly the first to act. Dou Qi surged from within his body as his foot stamped the ground. His body instantly shot out like an arrow released from a bow, crossing more than half the square in the blink of an eye. His withered palm curved and rolled, shooting out several sharp gusts of wind. The intertwining wind currents demonstrated the swift and fierce technique befitting a Dou Spirit expert.

The 1-star Dou Spirit secret guards were naturally no match for Ge Ye. Even if the four of them joined forces, they still couldn't withstand the already 4-star Dou Spirit Ge Ye.

Several sounds of air being sliced came from behind. Besides Ge Ye and those Dou Grandmaster enforcers, there were several Dou Spirits and over a hundred Dou Masters surrounding Xiao Yan's palanquin from all directions.

Just at this moment, the air in the entire square suddenly turned frigid. Four massive ice pillars descended from the sky with thunderous booms. The four ice pillars stood firmly around Xiao Yan, blasting away the surrounding Dou Spirit deacons. Even a 1-star Dou King couldn't withstand this powerful cold energy and rapidly retreated.

An elderly figure appeared in the air above Xiao Yan's palanquin. The cold energy emitted by the icy wings behind him instantly turned the scorching square into a freezing zone.

"Hai Bodong, what is the meaning of this!" Yun Leng's face was so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

Hai Bodong looked down at Yun Leng with an icy expression, his cold voice spreading throughout the entire square, "He is under my protection."

Yun Leng clenched his fists so tightly that his veins bulged. He looked at the two Dou King Elders beside him, Yun Sha and Yun Du, and nodded.

"Wind Fire Wood Wall!"

The three people let out a low cry. Their palms faced each other from a distance. Three different-colored Dou Qi which appeared like film surged out from them and immediately began to move toward each other in a lightning-like manner. In the blink of an eye, they came into contact with each other at the center. A triangular-shaped energy film was formed between the three of them, enclosing Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong in the middle of it.

Hai Bodong transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan, "Don't just sit there idly. The strength of these three old fellows is all at the advanced Dou King stage. If they combine forces with the attack formation of over a thousand people, even I won't be able to guarantee your safety. If you can't persuade Yun Yun to side with you, then while she hasn't made a move yet, quickly run and leave the Jia Ma Empire."

Although Hai Bodong had recovered to a 6-star Dou Emperor, there was definitely a reason why the Misty Cloud Sect could dominate.

Xiao Yan gave Hai Bodong a sidelong glance and said, "Old Hai, your ice pillars are very cold. This alchemist robe isn't warm enough."

Hai Bodong almost lost his composure upon hearing Xiao Yan's teasing words. You're fucking worried about staying warm at a time like this???

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly when he saw Hai Bodong's exasperated look. He took out a wooden box from his storage ring and said, "Old Hai, when have you ever seen an alchemist needing to handle things personally?"

With a soft 'snap,' Xiao Yan gently flicked the lid of the wooden box open with his thumb. The contents inside made all the elite Dou Kings present widen their eyes, revealing expressions

of greed!

An extremely rich medicinal fragrance actually weakened the cold atmosphere by a few

degrees, as if all things were returning to spring.

"Dou King Pills?!"

Three round and beautiful Dou King Pills were placed in the wooden box like gems, reflecting

a luster under the sunlight that made all the Dou Kings drool.

Even Gu He's expression turned solemn upon seeing these three Dou King Pills, for their

quality could be described as perfect!

"One, two, three. Your Misty Cloud Sect has three advanced Dou Kings, right? Well then, I happen to have three Dou King Pills here. Is there any Dou King willing to take the job? Stop them, and this perfect-quality Dou King Pill will be yours."

The hearts of all the Dou Kings present thumped violently as soon as Xiao Yan said this! Hai Bodong was shocked inwardly: Damn! You really don't plan to make a move at all!
