Wan Jianfeng remained silent, while Su Ya ched her fists, biting her red lips, her eyes rimmed with tears.

  If the previous is were barely bearable for the bank with its years of accumution, the departure of these six people was like a bolt from the blue, delivering a devastating blow to the bank!

  All this just because they didn't hand over Su Ya, and they faced such retaliation!

  "Gu Yun was inally an honorary elder of the Fire Cloud Seow that the sect has fallen, he immediately joihe Beast Tami. Such a fair-weather friend might abandon you at any time. Are you sure you want to follow him?" Wan Jianfeng was unwilling to give up.

  "Haha! o worry, President Wan. We are of atus, and even if abandoned, tless people would rush to have us."

  At this moment, a boisterous voice came from outside, and Gu Yun strode in with a swagger into the reception hall.

  "Gu Yun!" Upon seeing Gu Yun, Wan Jianfeng's forehead veins bulged, and the teacup in his hand shattered with a "crack."

  It was all his doing!

  Yet Wan Jianfeng dared not act out, not even to insult him, simply because the other party was an alchemist!

  Gu Yun merely g Wan Jianfeng with disdain, then turned his gaze, leering at Su Ya beside him, his eyes roving over her exquisite figure as he licked his lips.

  "Miss Su Ya, the Fire Cloud Sect has fallen, and there's no future for you in Fire Cloud City. Why not follow me to Beast City, where you will enjoy endless wealth and hu Yun said lecherously.

  "I'm not going!" Su Ya firmly refused.

  "Hehe, even when Qianlong Bank is in such a state, you're still not going?" Gu Yun squinted his eyes.

  Su Ya sneered inwardly and mocked, "I'm not like some people whet loyalty for profit, despicable and shameless..."

  "Su Ya! Shut up!" Wan Jianfeng's expression ged, and he hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too te.

  Gu Yun's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this, and he shouted, "Are you insulting me?"

  All the alchemists took a step forward, releasing their aura, gring angrily: "Dare to insult Master Gu Yun, c death!"

  Alchemists held a atus, high above others, and even the sect leaders of major sects had to treat them with respect. How could they allow a mere woman to insult them?

  The bined aura of everyone formed an invisible mountain, pressing down on Su Ya.

  Although Su Ya was the sed-in-and of Qianlong Bank, uhe bined pressure of so many alchemists, her face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "In my Qianlong Bank, who dares to act recklessly!!" Wan Jianfeng refused to back down, unleashing the aura of the tenth level of the Qi densing Realm, instantly pushing back.

  Although the crowd had the advantage in numbers, most were at the initial stages of the Qi densing Realm, with only Gu Yun reag the sixth level. Under Wan Jianfeng's pressure, their expressions ged drastically, and they all retreated.

  "Wan Jianfeng, dare to insult us alchemists, aren't you afraid of the Alchemist Guild's retribution?"

  "Wan Jianfeng, you're pying with fire!"

  "Hurry up and apologize, make amends, or we won't let this go!"

  The crowd shouted angrily, aced to being high and mighty, never having suffered the slightest grievance.

  Gu Yun squinted his eyes and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Wan Jianfeng, this doesn't seem like you at all. Who gave you the ce to oppose us alchemists?"

  Gu Yun's words were like a knife, pierg straight into his heart.

  Wan Jiaook several deep breaths, his chest heaving.

  Ihe influence of alchemists was too powerful, eae could involve numerous forces, and no one could afford to offend them. Behind Gu Yun was the colossal Beast Tami, and no matter he Qianlong Bank's influence was, he was just a branch president in a small city, easily repceable.

  He couldn't possibly offend so many alchemists for the sake of a mysterious Lord Xiao.

  "Wan Jianfeng, do you know why the Beast Tami hired me as the chief honorary elder?" Gu Yun said with a sly smile.

  "Do you know why these alchemists are willing to follow me?"

  As Gu Yun spoke, all the alchemists looked at him in unison, their eyes filled with admiration.

  "Because I have successfully refined a defective third-grade pill. With more practice, I will definitely bee a third-grade alchemist within two years!"

  Gu Yun's words were like a thundercp from the sky, resounding in the ears of Wan Jianfeng and Su Ya, leaving them stunned.

  Gu Yun could refihird-grade pills?

  It was known that iire Tianfeng Kingdom, only the Capital had three third-grade alchemists. Does this mean Gu Yun would bee the fourth within two years?!

  Alchemy was as difficult as asding to the heavens, and many people couldn't make any progress in their entire lives. Yet Gu Yun had mao break through the bottlened refine a defective third-grade pill, which was a miracle among miracles!

  Although it was just a defective product, it was enough to prove that Gu Yun's ability had reached that level, only g experience. Given time, being a third-grade alchemist was a certainty!

  Wan Jianfeng's psychological defenses finally crumbled. No matter how powerful Lord Xiao was, he was ultimately a third-grade alchemist, and Gu Yun would also bee an equal iure!

  "Everyone, I was impulsive just now, and I apologize to you all." Wan Jianfeng lowered his head, gritting his teeth, and bowed to everyoh immense humiliation.

  Everyone showed mog expressions, as if ridig him for overestimating himself.

  Su Ya's face turned even paler, her delicate body trembling, losing the queenly aura she usually had.

  "Wan Jianfeng, anyone talk, show us some tangible bes," Gu Yun sneered, deliberately gng at Su Ya, his eyes gleaming with wicked i.

  "As long as Miss Su Ya es with me, not only will I not trouble you, but from now on, we'll be like family and cooperate more," Gu Yun said with a wicked smile.

  "President Wan, a wise man submits to circumstances!"

  "President Wan, it's just a woman, agree to Master Gu Yun's request," someone echoed.

  Wan Jianfeng gritted his teeth, his fists making crag sounds, each sed feeling like ay.

  "President." Su Ya, with red eyes, looked at Wan Jianfeng and nodded.

  She khat circumstances were beyond their trol, and Wan Jianfeng had no choior did she!

  Seeing Su Ya's acquiesce, Wan Jianfeng finally nodded with difficulty.

  Gu Yun's lips curled into a smile of success, the expressions of the crowd rexed, while Su Ya's face was ashen.

  "Haha! If you had known this earlier, why bu Yun ughed, knowing that whatever he wanted, he would get.

  In truth, that defective third-grade pill was made using a special cheatihod. He was currently only a peak sed-grade alchemist, but he wasn't worried. Even if he was exposed in two years, so what? Would the Beast Tamirouble a sed-grade alchemist?

  Gu Yun's work was unimaginable, and he could easily leave and find people eager to wele him anywhere.

  "Wait!"

  At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the hall.

  Turning to look, they saw a handsome young man leisurely walking through the reception hall door, zily looking at Wan Jianfeng and calmly saying:

  "Wan Jianfeng, have you fotten what I told you before leaving?"
