THE EXTREME ALCHEMIST OF THE MIGHTY CAULDRON

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: North Town Hall

Xuan Country is in chaos!

The royal family’s fight for the throne has not yet ended, and an alliance led by top forces such as the Five Elements Sect and Heavenly Fragrance Valley has already surrounded Xuan City.

The royal family is horror-stricken, never anticipating that the major forces would join hands against them at this time.

For a while, every member of the royal family felt threatened and continuously sent envoys to negotiate with the Five Elements Sect and Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

Regrettably, anyone with clear sight could see that the Zhou Dynasty was about to collapse. Naturally, the Five Elements Sect and others would not retreat, having fully determined to completely eliminate the Zhou Dynasty and establish a new dynasty to govern Xuan Country.

As for which faction would establish this new dynasty, this would only be decided after the Zhou Dynasty was eliminated.

Many people shook their heads and sighed. The fall of the royal family to such an extent was pitiful and lamentable, but it could also be said to be deserved.

If it weren’t for their feud with Fang Lin, how could Xuan Emperor, Zhou Yishui, and a large group of royal masters have died?

Without Xuan Emperor supporting the family, how could the royal family resist the alliance between the Five Elements Sect and Heavenly Fragrance Valley?

But just as many believed that the Zhou Dynasty would soon cease to exist and become history, something unexpected happened.

The Demon Suppressing King brought a group of powerhouses from Demon Suppressing City and rushed thousands of miles to aid Xuan Emperor.

No one would have expected the Demon Suppressing King to return to Xuan Emperor at this time. Furthermore, upon his return, he demonstrated an extremely domineering attitude and effectively reorganized the chaotic royal family, with everyone now recognising him as the leader.

Three days after the Demon Suppressing King entered Xuan City, he directly declared himself the Emperor, becoming the new Xuan Emperor.

The coronation of the Demon Suppressing King was unexpected by all, including the Five Elements Sect, but it did not affect their siege of the royal family.

Even if the Demon Suppressing King had declared himself emperor, the major forces were still determined to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, regardless of who sat on the throne.

Unfortunately, the forces underestimated the Demon Suppressing King. This prince, who had dominated Demon Suppressing City for most of his life, was completely different from those pleasure-seeking princes of Xuan City. Not only was his personal strength formidable, but his tactics were also extremely clever.

Upon his ascension, the Demon Suppressing King immediately brought the Dugu Family into his camp and recruited a large number of independent martial artists.

In this way, it became somewhat tricky for the forces to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty with military force.

The independent martial artists were easy to deal with, and none of the forces really cared about them. However, the presence of the Dugu Family made it difficult for these forces to act.

The forces were very surprised at the attitude of the Dugu Family. Despite the tragic end of this marriage alliance, why would the Dugu Family aid the royal family?

Perhaps the Demon Suppressing King and the Dugu Family made some kind of deal, but no matter the reason, the Dugu Family’s support for the royal family had become a fact.

While the situation in Xuan City was changing rapidly, Fang Lin had already found North Town Hall following the Hall Master’s instructions.

In the Pill Alliance’s thirty-two halls, each hall’s location was carefully considered.

None of the halls were within the Nine Countries, as if they intentionally avoided the territory of the Nine Countries, and stood entirely outside the Nine Countries.

It seems the Pill Alliance could avoid contact with the forces of the Nine Countries, so these thirty-two halls all stood above the Nine Countries.

Nevertheless, even though they stood outside the Nine Countries, the thirty-two halls still had intricate relationships with them.

Aside from the special Upper Three Countries, in the Middle and Lower Three Kingdoms, the status of the thirty-two halls was very high.

In the Lower Three Kingdoms, they superseded the royal families, while in the Middle Three Kingdoms, they were on par with the royal families.

North Town Hall was located on a desolate plains far from Xuan Country, but it was relatively close to Meng Kingdom in the Lower Three Kingdoms.

Upon arriving at North Town Hall, Fang Lin was directly introduced to the Hall Master.

Sitting on his black iron chair, the Hall Master eyed Fang Lin with surprise, as if he didn’t recognize Fang Lin at all.

Fang Lin was neither humble nor arrogant, standing below and not intimidated, letting the Hall Master scan him.

“How did you survive on Hundred Beast Mountain?” After a while, the Hall Master asked.

Fang Lin, who had long expected the question, calmly replied, “I was lucky to save my life.”

Upon hearing this, the Hall Master immediately knew that Fang Lin was definitely hiding something, but she just asked, without really wanting to know.

Moreover, the Hall Master already knew about the events in Xuan City. The deaths of the Xuan Emperor, Zhou Yishui, and a large number of royal elites were all related to Fang Lin.

“I am pleased you could join my North Town Hall.” North Town Hall Master stood up, her black dress accentuating her tall figure, adding a touch of cold magnificence.

“Thank you for accepting me,” Fang Lin replied, bowing his hand.

North Town Hall Master chuckled lightly and tossed Fang Lin a token.

“With this token, you are one of us in North Town Hall. You can freely enter and exit anywhere except for a few forbidden areas,” North Town Hall Master explained.

Fang Lin took the cold iron token. It had a ‘North’ character carved on it.

“I intend to take you as my disciple. However, many outstanding young pill refiners have come to North Town Hall recently. Of you all, only one will become my disciple and succeed me in the future,” said North Town Hall Master, looking at Fang Lin meaningfully.

Fang Lin understood. So, in order to become a disciple of North Town Hall Master, he first had to compete with other young Pill Refiners. Only after defeating them could he become a disciple of North Town Hall Master.

For Fang Lin who had experienced many trials, this did not bother him. If a competition was required, then a competition it would be. He was already used to it anyway.

“There are some things you need to be aware of. Now that you have joined North Town Hall, you will have many opportunities to meet high-level Pill Alliance members. Inside North Town Hall, there are people whose identities and backgrounds are extraordinary. Do not provoke them lightly and avoid conflicts,” the Hall Master warned.

Fang Lin understood the Hall Master’s meaning. There must be some people in North Town Hall with grand backgrounds and origins. These are probably members of the Pill Alliance’s highest echelons participating in a training program in the thirty-two halls.

These people were just here to gain some glory. When the time was right, they would naturally enter the high levels of the Pill Alliance, and had nothing in common with those Pills Refiners who lacked background and resources.

Fang Lin wasn’t a troublemaker either. As long as others didn’t provoke him, he won’t go looking for trouble without reason.

“This junior understands,” said Fang Lin.

“Mm, be on your way. Get familiar with this North Town Hall,” the Hall Master said.

Fang Lin exited the grand hall and began to explore the vast North Town Hall.

While it was called a hall, it was more like a city, with distinct areas and a gathering of Pill Refiners from all over the place.

Since Fang Lin was a new face, as he walked around, many people glanced at him more than once.

“Are you new here?” Fang Lin was wandering around aimlessly when a few youths in the robes of Pill Refiners came up to him.
