Chapter 405: Chapter 312: Celestial Phoenix, Demon Suppression! (Double-Length)

"How is it?" Master Baitian asked faintly.

"This..." Several alchemists hesitated to speak.

In the end, they reluctantly pulled out two cracked elixir pills filled with impurities and handed them to Master Baitian.

"Lord Celestial Master, this time the alchemy... although not successful, there is still some result." An alchemist appeared extremely nervous, speaking hesitantly and stammering.

Master Baitian’s four eyes were fixed on the two pills in the alchemist’s hands, remaining silent.

Indeed, compared to the results of so many previous attempts at refining, this time was the best.

But...

With a glare from Master Baitian, the alchemist’s body instantly exploded, turning into a mess of flesh.

But they were still far from success in refining, and this insignificant progress consumed a furnace of invaluable medicinal materials.

The remaining alchemists were startled but dared not retreat, bowing their heads silently, desperately trying to decrease their sense of presence.

The elixir had not been successfully created, and Master Baitian’s temperament remained explosive.

Over the years, the number of alchemists who died because of this was not less than a hundred, possibly dozens!

"Useless! All useless!"

"Why can’t it be refined successfully? Why does it keep failing?"

Master Baitian was furious, glaring and killing several alchemists kneeling on the ground, his white hair flying wildly, resembling an enraged lion.

Just then, a mighty white tiger descended from the sky, its silky fur stained with large patches of blood.

Simultaneously, a giant Three Segment Worm burst out from underground.

The white tiger landed and transformed into a massive white-haired man over two meters tall, with a tiger head and beast-like feet, a long whip-like tiger tail swaying.

The Three Segment Worm turned into a slick young man, precisely the demon insect that previously attacked Song Changming on the battlefield.

Upon arrival, the two demons saw the remains of the alchemist on the ground. After exchanging glances, they realized they picked the wrong time to come back.

"Celestial Master!"

They knew how dangerous Master Baitian was at this moment, so they kneeled and respectfully greeted him from afar.

"Weren’t you going to West Valley Road to investigate the Hawk? Why have you returned? What happened to Huang Gu?" Master Baitian squinted his four eyes at these two demon commanders.

"Celestial Master, the demon incident caused by the Hawk at West Valley Road was massive, spreading across multiple areas. We passed through Cui Bai Dao and happened to encounter a demon outbreak outside Mingju City..." The Tiger Demon spoke, not lifting his head, kneeling on the ground.

The demon commanders couldn’t suppress their greed and wanted to enter the city when it broke to feast on humans.

Unexpectedly, it ended with a defeat for the Demon Race, and the Tiger Demon was injured as a result.

Of course, when reporting back, the Tiger Demon couldn’t say this. He only spoke of the investigation, instead of attributing it to his awakened greed.

"So you’re injured, and Huang Gu died there. In the end, you both returned empty-handed and humiliated." Master Baitian said coldly.

The Three Segment Worm demon sensed the chill in Master Baitian’s tone and shivered like a leaf in the wind.

The Tiger Demon’s already tense heart sank even deeper, quickly saying, "Celestial Master, we didn’t come back entirely empty-handed. The major disturbance at West Valley Road was due to demons competing for a treasure.

Later, the Hawk acquired the treasure and became a Great Demon!"

The Tiger Demon still dared not look up, his heart pounding.

"Continue."

Only when Master Baitian’s voice came again, with its icy tone slightly softened, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid that Master Baitian, in a fit of rage, might not listen to him and slap him into pieces like the alchemists before.

"It is said that this treasure is a Celestial Phoenix Feather! We’ve confirmed it through multiple sources; it’s likely true. Half a year ago, there were indeed rumors of a Celestial Phoenix leaving traces in Yun Province..."

"Celestial Phoenix..." Master Baitian’s four eyes squinted, flashing differently.

The Celestial Phoenix is a powerful Exotic Beast in legend, and its appearance in the real world would be immense news!

Enough to make him prioritize this matter alongside alchemy.

Of course, whether the legendary Celestial Phoenix truly exists and appeared needs further deep investigation to confirm.

The information the Tiger Demon obtained wasn’t enough for him to be sure.

The Tiger Demon also knew the news about the Celestial Phoenix was vague, not detailed, just barely sufficient to report back.

Thus, to avoid further enraging Master Baitian, he quickly changed the topic and continued.

"Additionally, I returned early to report another important matter to you."

"Speak." Master Baitian looked at him again.

"The cause of Huang Gu’s death." The Tiger Demon slightly lifted his head, not daring to be cryptic, and continued.

"He died at the hands of a general from the Human Race, and this general bears a great resemblance to the perfect ingredient that disappeared!"

"No! It should be identical!"

"What!" Master Baitian’s spirit shook, completely throwing the Celestial Phoenix matter aside, reaching out and pulling the Tiger Demon before him from a distance.

"Is what you say true?"

The Tiger Demon hurriedly vowed, "Absolutely true, even his Fire Attribute Gang Qi was identical!"

The Huang Gu he mentioned was none other than the Thunderlight Leopard killed by Song Changming, whose Blood Qi Essence was drained.

And the ingredient he referred to was naturally Song Changming.

"Take me there!" Master Baitian paused, then directly stated.
