Chapter 205: Chapter 204: It’s Him, He’s Alive

The Alchemy Master Guild.

Because Chairman Qin had led the Eight Great Martial King Experts out to hunt down Jiang Chen and the others.

The Alchemy Master Guild was now in an absolute uproar.

Someone said angrily, "This is all your fault! If you hadn’t pulled me away, I would have definitely helped Chairman Qin."

"Damn it! If Chairman Qin comes back with the heads of Jiang Chen and his group, he’ll definitely make an example of us."

Some were furious, blaming those who had pulled them away from Master Qin’s side earlier.

Now, they were regretting it to death.

After all, Master Qin had the Eight Great Martial King Experts with him—enough power to sweep through all of Hanwu City.

Jiang Chen and the people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion were as good as dead.

It was a foregone conclusion.

Someone else retorted irritably.

"How was I supposed to know Chairman Qin had the Eight Great Martial King Experts under his command?"

"If I’d known, I never would have listened to that damn bastard Jiang Chen."

Countless people were regretting their decision so much they could die.

Not siding with Master Qin was the worst decision they had ever made.

Now, their faces were as grim as if their own parents had died.

They were all waiting for Master Qin to return in glorious victory.

Some were already preparing their explanations, even steeling themselves to kneel and kowtow to Master Qin.

The clamor in the hall hardly ever stopped.

"What do you think the outcome will be?"

"Chairman Qin will win, obviously."

"But what if—and I’m just saying what if—Jiang Chen and his group have some other trick up their sleeve and manage to win..."

Before he could finish, someone else cut him off.

"You’re overthinking it. If Chairman Qin loses, I’ll eat shit while doing a handstand."

"Yeah! Chairman Qin has the Eight Great Martial Kings with him. If he actually loses, I’ll cut off my own arm."

Almost everyone had complete faith in Master Qin.

Time passed, second by second.

Although the Alchemy Master Guild sent people out to investigate, their speed was no match for the Martial Kings flying through the air.

It wasn’t long before they lost the trail.

There was no further news of Master Qin or his group.

Some suspected the two sides had already taken their battle outside the city.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

A figure sped through the streets, heading straight for the Alchemy Master Guild.

He was drenched in sweat, his expression taut, clearly extremely nervous.

’What do I do? Are my Martial King Experts really not coming back?’

That’s right, it was Master Qin. He was fleeing back to the Alchemy Master Guild.

He knew that only by returning to the Alchemy Master Guild would he be safe.

At the very least, the people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion wouldn’t dare to storm the Guild’s headquarters again so easily.

Soon, he arrived outside the main hall of the Alchemy Master Guild.

"Huh?"

"Look, isn’t that our Chairman Qin?"

The crowd of people from the Alchemy Master Guild, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly noticed Master Qin’s appearance.

One by one, they were overcome with ecstasy.

They all put on fawning smiles and approached Master Qin.

They all started talking at once.

"President, you’re back!"

"President, did you kill that dog-thief Jiang Chen?"

"That guy deserved to die! Running amok in our Alchemy Master Guild... I couldn’t stand the sight of him."

"That’s right, me too! If I ever see Jiang Chen again, I’ll beat him to death myself."

"And those people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, I couldn’t stand them either."

"President, did you kill all those pests?"

Facing these colleagues who were as annoying as flies, Master Qin wished he could give each of them a hard slap across the face.

’How despicable.’

’They kicked me when I was down, and now they’re shamelessly sucking up to me.’

’The problem is, I’ve really stumbled again.’

’Sucking up to me is useless.’

He roared in frustration, "All of you, shut up!"

"Get back inside."

"Alchemy Master Guild, full defensive alert! Don’t even let a single fly in!"

Master Qin now felt danger lurking everywhere.

He paid them no more mind and hurried into the Alchemy Master Guild.

The members of the Alchemy Master Guild were all stunned.

They stared in confusion as Master Qin shook them off.

Many of them grew suspicious.

"Look at our Chairman Qin... Why does he look so disheveled?"

"Right... he’s back, but what about the Eight Great Martial King Experts he took with him? Why aren’t they back?"

One question after another arose.

Many of them had a bad feeling.

Their President had failed.

Some began to argue again.

"Looks like I was right not to side with Chairman Qin."

"I think so too. The situation is unclear, but it looks like our President didn’t get the upper hand."

"Do you think Jiang Chen and his group are dead?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

However, the majority still followed Chairman Qin inside, because they were now certain he must have returned victorious.

Perhaps he was still basking in the joy of his victory.

Only a few hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Until...

CLACK...

The sound of footsteps clearly cut through the din of the Alchemy Master Guild. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

A young man in a white robe walked at the forefront.

Behind him followed eight burly, imposing men, their iron-tower-like frames inspiring awe and fear.

Some of the more sharp-eyed individuals noticed the figures.

"It’s him."

"It’s Jiang Chen."

"Heavens, Jiang Chen is still alive!"

They were flabbergasted. No one had expected Jiang Chen to survive the pursuit of the Eight Great Martial King Experts.

And now, he had come to the Alchemy Master Guild once again.

The situation was simply too bizarre.

Suddenly, the atmosphere grew tense.

As Jiang Chen advanced, some of the Alchemists and even the guards began to panic.

The Jiang Chen before them now exerted an immense, profound pressure.

It left them breathless.

Some stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

It was sheer terror.

The aura emanating from this one man soared to the heavens, striking fear into their hearts.

Although Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was only at the Warrior Fifth Heaven.

But the calm and composed spirit he exuded made it so that no one dared to approach.

Everyone just wondered, how had he returned?

Then, someone once again noticed the eight large men behind Jiang Chen.

Each of them emanated a terrifying aura.

That aura... it was the aura of a Martial King.

HISS...

"Martial King Experts... Eight Great Martial King Experts!"

"How is that possible? How does Jiang Chen also have Eight Great Martial King Experts as his guards?"

When those in the Alchemy Master Guild who saw this realized that the men behind Jiang Chen were Eight Great Martial King Experts, they all gasped in shock.

One by one, they trembled in fear.

The Eight Great Martial Kings... Master Qin had led the Eight Great Martial Kings out to kill him earlier.

Now, Master Qin had returned alone.

And now Jiang Chen had returned, but with the Eight Great Martial Kings in tow.

"Are... are those the Eight Great Martial King Experts that our Chairman Qin took with him?"

"They look like them."

"No way... Could it be that the Eight Great Martial Kings Chairman Qin led out are now following Jiang Chen?"

All sorts of thoughts tumbled wildly through everyone’s minds.

They had only one question: were the Eight Great Martial Kings behind Jiang Chen the same ones Master Qin had taken with him?

If that were true, then the situation had just become far more terrifying.
