Chapter 75 - Tower Master Lu Han
This sudden hundred eighty degree change of Jin Rou's character made the spectators caught off guard! They were rendered speechless as if their tongues were cut off! The majority of the crowd was already trembling nonstop in fear due to the massive and breathtaking killing intent he was emitting!
Just the killing intent being felt was already something that difficult to withstand. Even for the experts from the crowd, they could not help but felt fear!
"This young man is dangerous.. Extremely dangerous." An expert muttered to himself.
On the other side, Gum Xuan was like a stone statue standing there unmoved. His expression was so pale that it was not an exaggeration if he lost all his blood in the head because of that paled-white face he was showing! Beads of sweat began also rolling down his face one after another. His hands were also shaking indicating he was feeling extreme fear.
Ma Han, who was being lifted by the neck, use all her might to struggle, "You... you.. if you kill m-me.. you will n-n-not es-c-cape! I.. i.. swear!"
She was already scared shitless by this sudden show of power of the other party. She thought that she could still hold her ground against the young man since she estimated that this young man's cultivation might only be Sky Realm at best. Never did she expect that not only she could not stand her ground, she was also defeated in the most miserable way possible! This brought her a great blow that was difficult to recuperate.
A junior defeated a senior miserably with no chance of retaliation at all? That's really humiliating!
"Threatening me?" Jin Rou grinned, "That won't work, vulgar creature. If I wish to kill you, no one could stop me here. Even you release all of the bullets in your arsenal."
"Keep.. keep boasting!" Ma Han struggled, "You think.. think I'm a-afraid of y-y-you?!"
"Judging by your face? Yes. You are afraid." Jin Rou answered, "Anyways, you really pushed your luck this time. Blame your dog eyes for being blind."
He was about to tighten his grip to crush Ma Han's neck when Gum Xuan shouted and appealed, "Friend, please let Ma Han go. Please let's talk things out."
Gum Xuan was indeed frightened to the bones now that he saw firsthand how scary this young lad in front of them. Even him, a High Elder, did not dare to attack and act arrogantly in front of this man! As an experienced cultivator, he knew that there were people stronger and younger than you. He was aware that common sense could not be always right. Just like the happenings today, if he did not saw it personally, he might not believe it if he was told.
"I already gave you face. But this useless creature kept on trying to step on my head and even renege from the bet. This kind of people is one of what I hate the most." Jin Rou said as he glared knives and daggers.
"But.. She is the Tower Master's younger sister! Things will be bad once he know that his sister was killed!" Although Ma Ha was not yet dead, Gum Xuan said it this way.
"The Tower Master?" Jin Rou pondered for a moment, "That would be kind of interesting. Call him here."
Gum Xuan was about to say something when a voice suddenly rang their ears, "I am already here."
Tracing where the voice came from, an old man with a long gray hair that up to his middle waist, with his soft and mild steps suddenly walked over bit by bit towards Jin Rou. This old man was probably aging 70 years or above, but his vitality has not showed any signs of withering which was amazing. He was exuding a gentle vibe that soothed the feeling of every frightened to feel at ease. Compared to Ma Han, this old man was like heaven and she was earth.
"The Tower Master!" Everyone exclaimed. These were the only words they could say right now.
Distancing six meters from Jin Rou, the Tower Master stopped his tracks and said, "Little Friend, I am the Tower Master of this Tower, Lu Han."
"So you finally showed up." Jin Rou chuckled and dropped Ma Han to the ground. A series of cough sounds could be heard, "I thought that you would only hide there for the whole time."
Lu Han was a bit surprised, however, he immediately hid it, "Little Friend's eyes is amazing. I am no longer surprised how you did all of those a while ago."
Gum Xuan was stumped to heard this. The Tower Master was hiding from the beginning? And the lad knew he was there? This..
He no longer dared to think more. He did not even felt the presence of the Tower Master! As expected for a 6-star Master Alchemist.
"No need to flatter me. Since you are here from the beginning, you knew what this sister of yours did." Jin Rou did not beat to the bush anymore.
Ma Han, who already caught to her breath refuted, "I did it because you ch-"
But before she could finish it, Lu Han angrily said, "Shut up! You don't have a say here because you are the cause of all of this! So just shut your mouth or I will kill you myself!"
She was stoned to hear this.. She could not believe what she had heard, her brother said those words to her right in her face.. "Brother.."
She was feeling indignant, but all she could do was lower her head and did not say anymore.
Lu Han immediately retracted his angry expression and faced Jin Rou with such gentle approach, "Little Friend, I saw everything. And I humbly apologize for what my sister did."
"Can this Little Friend give me some face and let the matter go? About the four million diamonds and other stuffs, I will pay. How about that?"
Jin Rou paused for a moment and said, "Okay then. I will wait."
In actuality, he really was not planning to kill Ma Han. He only did that to force the hidden expert, who was Lu Han, to show himself and arrange this. From the moment Jin Rou noticed his presence, he knew that he was the Tower Master since he had the most powerful cultivation present here. Fortunately, everything goes the way he planned it.
Of course, if things escalated the way he did not like, he would also not think twice to eliminate these beings. After all, the other party really pushed everything too far.

The show was already over and everyone dispersed and continued busying them with their own stuffs.
In the Alchemy Tower's Lobby.
Jin Rou was waiting there. After a few minutes, Lu Han himself showed and gave the exact amount of diamonds and the other stuffs including the badge of 1-star Master Alchemist. After all, he passed all of the tests to become a Master Alchemist. Jin Rou happily received this and did not stand on ceremony. Lu Han wanted to invite him for a meal but he declined it since he could not stay any longer. After which, he walked out of the tower with full of smiles. However, his smile was so devious that if anyone saw this, they might get crept out.
As Jin Rou was gone, Gum Xuan who was behind Lu Han said, "Tower Master.. what do you think about that child?"
"Him?" Lu Han pondered for a moment, "I don't know how to say it. I could not see through his cultivation at all. That lad was very unfathomable. All I can say is that he is someone our tower could not afford to offend."
"This.." Gum Xuan did not know what to say.
"Alright. Let's stop this. I will punish Ma Han severely first since she almost brought a calamity in our tower. I will make sure she will reflect this time. You take care of the last stage for Bingye Feng." Lu Han instructed. "After that, give another round for examination for the aspiring ones since it is really my mistake to approve of such a selfish request of my sister. Be sure that the stages are only for aspiring alchemists."
"Understood." Gum Xuan affirmed.

In the inner place of the Alchemy Tower.
Even before Lu Han punish Ma Han, something unexpected had happened.
There was Ma Han.. Currently lying on the floor like she was lifeless but she was still breathing. However, her breathing was hard as if she was being suffocated. There was no trace of strength of cultivation that could be felt in her..
Just like a mortal human.
She struggled to get back onto her feet and cursed on the top of her lungs, "JIN, YOU SH-TTY BASTARD! FU*K YOUR ANCESTORS ALL THE WAY TO YOUR NEXT 18 GENERATIONS!!!!"
