The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1535: Chapter 1633: You’ve Messed with the Wrong Person

As the person in the Tiger-Head Mask walked into the Golden Palace holding a cloth blade, the Demon Suppressing King, the scholar in white, and the two strong men all showed incredibly horrified expressions.

“Sky Swallowing Palace!” The scholar in white, scared out of his wits, kept retreating until he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground with a thud.

The Demon Suppressing King’s face turned extremely grim, gripping his treasured sword that had been by his side for decades, his hand trembling slightly.

The two strong men felt a cold chill throughout their bodies; even though they were some of the top experts in Xuan Country, the sight of the person in the Tiger-Head Mask still instinctively filled them with dread.

This was a messenger from the Sky Swallowing Palace, wasn’t each one of them a formidable warrior in Martial Arts? How could they not be frightening?

But why had the messenger of the Sky Swallowing Palace suddenly appeared here? Weren’t they usually clashing with the great powers in the Upper Three Countries?

The Demon Suppressing King, true to his imperial nature, quickly regained his composure after the initial shock and spoke, “May I ask if you are from the Sky Swallowing Palace?”

The person in the Tiger-Head Mask stood in the middle of the Golden Palace, facing the nervous Demon Suppressing King. Underneath the mask, his eyes showed no emotion, making him seem quite indifferent.

It was exactly this kind of indifference that made the Demon Suppressing King’s unease grow stronger.

The Demon Suppressing King, who had spent half his life in bloody battles, had faced countless Demon Beasts from the Hundred Beast Mountain in Demon Suppressing City without frowning. But now, merely facing one person within his own palace, he felt such fear.

“Indeed.” The person in the Tiger-Head Mask responded coldly, seemingly in no rush to attack anyone in the palace.

The Demon Suppressing King fixed his gaze on the person in the Tiger-Head Mask and continued, “May I know what your visit entails in the royal capital of Xuan Country? I believe I have not offended the Sky Swallowing Palace.”

The person in the Tiger-Head Mask waved his cloth blade, planting it into the ground, and immediately, the floor of the great hall was covered with cracks.

“Bring Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu before me within half an incense stick’s time,” the person in the Tiger-Head Mask remarked.

Upon hearing this, the scholar in white’s mind buzzed instantly. Could it be that the messenger from the Sky Swallowing Palace came specifically for the two members of the Dugu Family?

What could be the relationship here?

The scholar in white was usually very astute, but under the influence of fear, he felt his mind slowing down significantly.

The Demon Suppressing King also felt a jolt in his heart, never expecting that the person in the Tiger-Head Mask had come for the two members of the Dugu Family.

Could it be that this person in the Tiger-Head Mask had some relation with the Dugu Family?

Or had the Dugu Family somehow managed to connect with the Sky Swallowing Palace, asking for their help?

This was the most terrifying possibility, one which the Demon Suppressing King dared not even contemplate. If the Dugu Family had indeed formed ties with the Sky Swallowing Palace, wouldn’t he be doomed?

“Did you not hear what I said?” the person in the Tiger-Head Mask’s voice grew colder, subtly tinged with a murderous intent.

“Quick, bring those two here!” the Demon Suppressing King shouted at the scholar in white, completely losing his composure.

The scholar in white scrambled and rushed out of the Golden Palace, fetching the two from the dungeon as quickly as possible.

When Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu were brought forth, they were still bound with iron chains, looking quite miserable.

Upon seeing the state of the two, the Demon Suppressing King immediately cursed the scholar in white in his mind, thinking, couldn’t you at least have loosened the chains before bringing them here? What does it look like, presenting them still bound like this?

The scholar in white also had his unspeakable sorrows; he worried that releasing these two men would put him at a disadvantage.

Rushed to bring them over, he also couldn’t care about those trivial matters anymore.

Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu were also dazed, having seen many corpses on their way to the Golden Palace, including several royal experts, all killed with a single fatal strike.

Even upon arriving at the Golden Palace, they still didn’t know what had happened, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.

“According to your orders, Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu have been brought here,” the scholar in white didn’t dare to look at the man in the Tiger-Head Mask, and said tremblingly.

The man in the Tiger-Head Mask glanced at Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu, saw that although injured, their lives were not in danger, and thus felt relieved.

He swung the sword at them, and both Dugu Ruoxu and Dugu Cangyun thought they were going to die; however, the sword only cut through their chains and didn’t harm them at all.

This made the two even more confused, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Suppressing King and his followers felt a sinking feeling in their hearts; it seemed that the man in the Tiger-Head Mask was indeed here to rescue these two.

“By the order of the Hall Master, I am here to take the head of the Demon Suppressing King,” the man in the Tiger-Head Mask said coldly, his eyes brimming with a killing intent.

The Demon Suppressing King was greatly shocked, feeling a mix of astonishment and rage, along with a sense of madness.

“Why does the Dugu Family deserve or have the capability to make someone from the Sky Swallowing Palace take action? On what grounds? Why does the Dugu Family have such qualifications?” The Demon Suppressing King roared in his heart, his expression grotesquely fierce, tightly gripping his precious sword, not daring to relax even slightly.

The two stalwarts exchanged glances, terrified to death, yet still stood in front of the Demon Suppressing King.

“Your Majesty, quickly flee; we will hold him off!”

“Can you really flee?” The man in the Tiger-Head Mask swung his sword, without any superfluous movements, and as soon as the two stalwarts tried to strike, their heads flew up into the air, blood spurting out, their headless bodies still standing.

These two stalwarts did not even realize what happened until their heads flew off; they could not imagine the sword strike being that fast.

The Demon Suppressing King was splashed with blood, stunned and immobile.

The scholar in white was terrified out of his wits, tremblingly cowering on the ground, his face deathly pale, filled with utter despair.

Dugu Cangyun and Dugu Ruoxu were also startled; the man in the Tiger-Head Mask had such formidable strength, slaying the two stout men of considerable power with a single swing.

The two exchanged glances, wondering if such a master really came to rescue them. Could it be a master summoned by their family?

The Demon Suppressing King knew he could not escape. The man in the Tiger-Head Mask undoubtedly possessed the strength of the Minor Longevity Realm, whereas he, the Demon Suppressing King, was merely at the Spirit Source; the difference was like heaven and earth.

The Demon Suppressing King did not want to die, and was even more baffled, why had he provoked such a colossal entity like the Sky Swallowing Palace?

To someone at the level of the Demon Suppressing King, the Sky Swallowing Palace was as untouchable as the royal families of the Upper Three Countries; logically, such a terrifying power would not bother to come after a mere emperor of the Xuan Country.

The Demon Suppressing King had never imagined that one day, someone from the Sky Swallowing Palace would come knocking on his door; as soon as the man in the Tiger-Head Mask approached with his sword, the Demon Suppressing King felt a chill from his head to his feet.

“Why on earth could the Dugu Family summon someone from the Sky Swallowing Palace?” The Demon Suppressing King gritted his teeth and asked.

The man in the Tiger-Head Mask glanced at him: “You’ve provoked someone you shouldn’t have.”
