Chapter 349 - President Meng's Dilemma

“These Demon Clan members are not simple,” President Meng Chuan said with an ugly expression on his face.

“Red skin with black spots, could they be from the Red and Black Demon Clan?”

“The Red and Black Demon Clan?” Lin Xuan was puzzled, while Old Man Di Que fell silent.

“Could it be related to the Black Dragon Sect?” Lin Xuan asked.

“That’s right, when the Black Dragon Sect used to run rampant, the Red and Black Demon Clan were their biggest accomplices!”

“Who would have thought they would reemerge now!”

President Meng Chuan sighed, “I’ve heard that the Southwest Border has been taken over by Netherworld Hall, and now with the Red and Black Demon Clan appearing in Heavenly Mountain Country, could it be that the Black Dragon Sect is truly about to make a full resurgence?”

“But why would they participate in the Pill King competition?” Lin Xuan was baffled.

“I’m afraid there’s only one reason, and that’s the Elixir Pills,” Meng Chuan said, “The White Dragon Ascending Pill.”

“What?” Lin Xuan was shocked, his own goal was the same.

“Since it’s the Black Dragon Sect, we can’t let them succeed!”

With a cold huff, Lin Xuan unleashed the Dragon Capturing Hand towards the area below.

Bang!

A deep sound echoed in all directions.

“Take action!” President Meng Chuan hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to suddenly strike, but being experienced, he reacted immediately, with both he and Old Man Di Que launching their attacks.

Both were Spirit Transformation Realm experts, exceptionally powerful, and quickly subdued the Snake Demon.

However, several powerful auras then came from below.

Swoosh!

Several figures leaped up, emitting fierce auras, with the first one being He Ming.

“What are you doing!” His face drastically changed upon seeing the captured Snake Demon.

“Hmph, as a member of the Demon Clan, you dare to participate in our competition?

You’ve got some nerve!” Old Man Di Que sneered, fully supporting Lin Xuan.

Since the Demon Clan also coveted the White Dragon Ascending Pill, they were his enemies!

President Meng Chuan, however, sighed.

He could only handle the situation with care, as angering the Demon Clan could spell trouble for Heavenly Mountain Country.

“I can release him, but you must leave Heavenly Mountain Country,” Meng Chuan said gravely.

“Old Meng, you must be aware of our identities, and I’ll tell you the truth—we are here for the White Dragon Ascending Pill.”

“What do you think the Engraving Alliance is?” President Meng’s face turned grim.

He was the president of Heavenly Mountain Country, not someone easily frightened!

“I know the Engraving Alliance wouldn’t be so benevolent, so we’ve decided to win through the competition,” He Ming said sternly.

“But if you won’t even allow us to compete, don’t blame us for what happens!”

President Meng Chuan fell silent.

He knew the ferocity of the Red and Black Demon Clan; a direct confrontation wouldn’t work.

“You may compete, but if you lose, leave Heavenly Mountain Country obediently!”

“Agreed,” He Ming smiled.

“We promise, now let him go.”

President Meng Chuan was taken aback; he didn’t expect the other party to be so straightforward.

Glancing over, he looked to Old Man Di Que.

“Here!” With a wave of his sleeve, Old Man Di Que threw the Snake Demon over.

“Let’s go!” Lin Xuan and the other two quickly left the area.

Dan King Hall, the great hall.

“Mr.

Lin, we’ll be relying on you for tomorrow’s competition,” Meng Chuan said.

“Although I don’t know what they want the Elixir Pills for, such ancient elixir must not fall into their hands.”

“Moreover, I suspect their actions are definitely related to the Black Dragon Sect.

If that’s the case, we must stop them even more.”

“Otherwise, it will be a great disaster for the entire Tian Nan Domain.”

He knew that only Lin Xuan could stop those members of the Demon Clan.

“Senior Meng, don’t worry, I will give it my all!” Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

The Black Dragon Sect had taken over Xia Country and even put Sword Pond Prefecture into an Ice Seal; this vengeance he would not forget!

The next day, Wind Moon Square was bustling once again.

Yesterday’s contest had been so thrilling that many people were too excited to sleep all night, and now they arrived to watch the battle with dark circles under their eyes.

“Who do you think will win today?”

“I bet on Lin Xuan, he just had a breakthrough yesterday, his strength must have greatly increased!”

“Not necessarily, it could be that mysterious He Nian.”

“I think Duan Fei also has a chance, after all, the Medicine Emperor Institute still has a Spiritual-grade Pill Furnace.”

The martial artists around were discussing fervently.

Soon, competitors from all sides made their appearances.

“Hmph, today I won’t lose again!” After a night of adjustment, Duan Fei had clearly regained his confidence.

“Mr.

Lin, I will let you see my true strength!”

In the distance, the He Family quietly entered the arena.

He Nian looked towards Lin Xuan in the stands, his eyes burning with towering rage.

It was Lin Xuan who had captured him yesterday and even threatened to kill him.

As a powerful member of the Demon Clan, he couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.

“After I win the match, I will torture you slowly to death!” He Nian’s pupils shone with a green glow.

Feeling the hostility from all sides, Lin Xuan appeared very calm.

What he needed to do was to win the contest; nothing else mattered.

“After a night’s rest, I assume you all have returned to your optimal condition,” President Meng Chuan said gravely, “Today’s contest will continue very soon.”

“This is the last round of the second challenge; after this round, we will rank you based on the results of the three rounds.”

“This ranking will be included in the contribution of your respective teams.”

After a slight pause, President Meng Chuan continued, “The rules of the contest this time are slightly different.

We will not provide the Elixir Recipes or the medicinal ingredients; you must prepare everything yourselves.”

“As long as you present the Elixir Pills you’ve refined within the designated time.”

“The higher the grade of the Elixir Pills, the winner of this round!”

The rules were simple; the Engraving Alliance only set the time limit, everything else was left up to the competitors’ creativity.

“Now, please, all competitors, enter the arena.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Dozens of figures swiftly leaped onto the Stone Platform, quietly getting ready.

Lin Xuan turned around and noticed that He Nian, in the corner, had once again taken on the appearance of a young girl.

However, just the thought of the Snake Demon skin underneath made him shiver with goosebumps.

Under Lin Xuan’s gaze, He Nian gave a cold laugh and then flipped her palm over, producing a red Pill Furnace.

It was half a meter high, blood-red all over, with a ferocious, lifelike snake engraved on it.

As soon as this Pill Furnace was brought out, it immediately generated an alarming pressure, as if a huge mountain weighed on everyone’s hearts.

“Is that…

a Spiritual-grade Treasure Furnace?”

The crowd below exclaimed in shock.

It was too startling; they had been waiting for the Medicine Emperor Institute’s Pill Furnace, but they didn’t expect an unknown He Family to also present a Spiritual-grade Treasure Furnace.

“Damn, He Nian’s strength was already sky-high; now with the assistance of a Spiritual-grade Treasure Furnace, isn’t she invincible?!”

“It looks like Lin Xuan is in danger.”

“Hmph!” Duan Fei scoffed coldly, also bringing out the Red Cloud Spirit Furnace.

Spiritual energy overflowed, stirring the winds and clouds.

Both furnaces emerged, responding to each other from afar, their auras clashing in the air, making the air roar.

“There it is, the Medicine Emperor Institute’s Spiritual-grade Treasure Furnace!”

“Such a terrifying aura, it’s said that a Spiritual Grade Pill Furnace can significantly increase success rates; I wonder if that’s true?”

“Two Pill Furnaces out, I wonder what Lin Xuan can bring?” Everyone was expectant.

However, the faces of those from Dan King Hall looked somewhat strange.
