Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 227 - 228: Tell a Lie

No one knew that when Wang Cai sealed the Heart of the Fierce Beast into the Fourth Layer, such an incident would occur in the distant Demon World.

Now, Mu Can, feeling the Reincarnation Pearl within his body completely ignoring him, was so angry that his teeth itched. Wang Cai was truly unscrupulous, taking advantage and then vanishing immediately, leaving Mu Can behind right there.

"This damn dog." Although Mu Can was itching with rage, he was utterly helpless against Wang Cai, who just took the advantage and scrammed.

In fact, Mu Can was somewhat misjudging Wang Cai. The reason why Wang Cai fled so quickly was not out of an intention to monopolize the benefits. After all, no matter how greedy Wang Cai was, whatever he acquired also indirectly enhanced Mu Can’s strength. This time, Wang Cai fled so hastily also because he was eager to unravel the secret of the Heart of the Fierce Beast.

Mu Can found that he had no way to deal with this utterly lowly dog and could only give up resentfully. He silently resolved that once his power increased, he would definitely take revenge on Wang Cai.

As for how to take revenge, Mu Can had already planned it. To deal with such a lowly dog, all you need is to present a treasure that could attract him but deliberately withhold it from him.

Silently pondering how to deal with Wang Cai in the future, Mu Can looked around. As Anxi Demon Venerable and the Demon Clan soldiers all died, the Big Formation that lost its power source had also come to a halt, and the sky returned to clarity, the swirling Demonic Qi enveloping the camp slowly disappearing.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the Big Formation was completely broken, and several figures emerged.

It was Ge Lao and others who were trapped in the formation, who, looking at the Demon Clan corpses scattered all around, widened their eyes in shock.

"I must be dreaming." Ge Lao’s face lacked his usual composed expression. His eyes widened, and his mouth gaped. The scene before him was a huge shock.

Could it be that the dean of Immortal Ancient Academy had returned? Otherwise, Ge Lao couldn’t think of anyone else who could kill Anxi Demon Venerable alone within the formation.

"This Sword Intent, it transcends the Three Realms’ Sword Intent." Sword Venerate closed his eyes and keenly felt the lingering Sword Intent. Any power that exceeded the level of the Three Realms was immensely attractive to those whose strength could already be considered at the pinnacle of the Three Realms. This was because only power that surpassed the level of the Three Realms was the opportunity for these individuals to ascend to the Void Level.

"Those two, are they also Demon Venerables?" Xuanyuan Mingkong examined the two mummified corpses there. Although they had lost their essence and vigor, they still emitted an aura of the Demon Venerable Level.

Although the people present all had strength comparable to that of a Demon Venerable, having witnessed Anxi Demon Venerable empowered by the Big Formation, they had long put aside their contempt for the Demon Clan. Every Demon Venerable had gone through countless battles of life and death to advance successfully, and in terms of combat ability, they far exceeded Cultivators of the same battle prowess.

Following Xuanyuan Mingkong’s gaze, everyone frowned simultaneously.

This mysterious strong individual had not just eradicated one Demon Venerable but three in total. Under the amplification of the Big Formation, these three Demon Venerables could unleash five times their power.

"Could it really be the return of some dean?" Xuanyuan Mingkong was also puzzled in his heart.

Because the Demonic Qi had not completely dispersed, everyone was slightly stunned by the scene before them and did not notice Mu Can hidden within the Demonic Qi.

"Cough, cough!" Seeing that everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, completely neglecting his existence, Mu Can could only cough awkwardly twice to attract everyone’s attention.

Although I no longer have the enhancement of the Reincarnation Pearl and my strength appears insignificant in front of you all, you shouldn’t disregard me like this. After all, I have saved everyone’s life here.

"Mu Can, how come you are here? This place is way too dangerous."

Xuanyuan Mingkong was the first to come back to his senses, looking at Mu Can with a face full of surprise.

Although he had heard from the Sword Venerate that Mu Can was very likely the person who could save them from the Big Formation, seeing Mu Can in person led Xuanyuan Mingkong to dismiss the Sword Venerate’s speculation. With Mu Can’s strength only at the peak of Martial Saint level, how could he possibly be the mysterious savior?

Not to mention, among the corpses of the Demon Clan strewn on the ground, there were also two at the Demon Venerable Level.

In the silent troop camp, the light cough of Mu Can was like thunder exploding next to the ears of these deep in thought, rousing them from their contemplation.

"Cough cough! So it’s Mu Can," Elder Ge’s face was filled with an embarrassed expression.

Originally, he had told Mu Can to prepare some Monkey Wine for a celebration when they returned, but he hadn’t expected that upon breaking into the Demon Clan’s camp, everyone would end up trapped inside. If it weren’t for a mysterious savior rescuing them, they wouldn’t know how to conclude this incident today.

Elder Ge, being old, probably had thicker skin than others, and, bracing himself, he looked at Mu Can and said.

"This place is very dangerous, why did you come here?" Elder Ge tried to keep a stern face, but his trembling fingers betrayed his inner thoughts.

Having lived for so many years, he had never been so humiliated in front of the younger generation; today he had truly lost all his prestige here.

"Right, you say you’re so young, with only the cultivation of a Martial Saint, and you dared to venture into such a dangerous place. You need to understand that even we, who have strength comparable to a Demon Lord, only dared to come here together."

The person speaking was someone Mu Can recognized; it was a teacher who had previously taught him spell theory. At that time, Mu Can had been too weak to perceive the immense energy contained in the teacher and had thought the teacher was just an ordinary one focused on theory.

"Yes, teacher, you’re right. I just felt a huge commotion coming from here and worried about you all, so I came to have a look." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Mu Can could only go along with them; otherwise, if they knew that Mu Can was the mysterious savior who rescued them, where would these teachers, who were part of the substantial fighting force of Immortal Ancient Academy, put their faces?

"Are you saying you came to investigate after hearing noises? Did you notice any suspicious individuals when you arrived?"

Elder Ge tried to extract some information about the mysterious savior from Mu Can; deep down, they all refused to believe that Mu Can was the person who saved them.

What a joke, Mu Can was still so young. If these old teachers, whose ages combined equaled dozens of Mu Cans and included Deputy Deans, were really saved by Mu Can, then they might as well have lived their years in vain.

"Um... I did indeed see an elder just now, but he vanished instantly."

Mu Can thought for a moment and decided to tell a lie.
