Chapter 139: Medicine Alliance

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Medicine Alliance

"Enough!"

Kong Jian’s expression turned grim. "Hmph! Someone who can barely kill an Early-Star Stage Mutant dares to be so arrogant before my Medicine Alliance. Does he really think he’s someone special?!"

"Besides, the medicine he refined was made using a formula stolen from our Medicine Alliance. It rightfully belongs to us, does it not?!"

Huh?!

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

They almost couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

After all, the young man had just said that the kid refined the medicine himself.

How had it now become a medicine refined from a stolen Medicine Alliance formula?

’Did the Alliance Leader lose his mind? Or did his ears stop working?’

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Kong Jian stared at them. "I said, is that not right?!"

The heavy emphasis in his voice broke the spell.

Realization dawned on them, and smiles crept onto their faces.

"That’s right, we did lose a formula recently!"

"So it was that kid who stole it!"

"It’s one thing for him to refine it in secret, but to act so brazenly in our territory? He’s simply asking to die!"

"Alliance Leader, I suggest we dispatch people today. That’s the only way to retrieve both the formula and the medicine!"

"After all, time is of the essence. If we’re too late and that kid consumes the medicine..."

Those words were a wake-up call for Kong Jian.

’That’s right!’

’A medicine that good must be a priceless treasure. If that kid eats it, wouldn’t we be completely screwed?’

He immediately gave the order, "Call for Patriarchs Zhou, Wan, and Fang. Take them with you and capture this thief!"

As Kong Jian spoke, he thought to himself, ’These three Patriarchs are all exceptionally powerful Mutants from the Fire Barrier!’

’They’re all Mutants who have been at the Mid-Star Stage for a very long time!’

’Their strength is not to be underestimated!’

’With the three of them going together this time, they’ll definitely be able to capture that kid!’

Of course,

the formula was the most important thing!

The Medicine Alliance was full of Alchemists. They had their specialized expertise, and their individual combat strength wasn’t very high. However, they were a hot commodity among the various families.

Even though their strength couldn’t compare to these Patriarchs, the Patriarchs still had to give them face, no matter what.

They could still command these Patriarchs!

It was a mutually beneficial exchange, so neither side lost out.

Hearing this, the young man smiled. He hadn’t expected the Alliance Leader to be so decisive, immediately calling upon three Patriarchs of such formidable strength. This time, they would surely be able to capture that kid!

"Yes, Alliance Leader! I’ll go make the arrangements right away!"

The young man quickly hurried outside.

Meanwhile, Kong Jian’s face was flush with excitement. After all, based on what they had just said, the medicinal fragrance could spread across nearly half the Cyan Ink Barrier. This was an extraordinary medicine!

If they got their hands on this formula, wouldn’t their position become even more unshakable? Who would dare to challenge them then?!

"Alliance Leader, here is the newly tallied medicine inventory!"

Just as Kong Jian was lost in thought, someone approached and handed him a thick stack of paper.

Every single page was densely packed with records of various medicines, complete with serial numbers.

Kong Jian looked at the six-figure total.

A smile appeared on his face.

This six-figure inventory was the very foundation of his Medicine Alliance!

It was the basis of their arrogance!

「That night.」

The manor was already adorned with lanterns and colorful banners.

「Outside.」

One after another, Patriarchs had already rushed over.

Of course, they didn’t come empty-handed, but had prepared expensive congratulatory gifts.

At this moment, the medicinal fragrance still lingered in the air.

As the Patriarchs inhaled it,

they instantly felt their minds clear.

The feeling was simply incredible!

Their hearts pounded with even greater excitement.

"Lord Ye! Congratulations, congratulations! This is my gift!"

"And this is mine!"

"Lord Ye, about my humble daughter’s wedding... when should we schedule it?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"Lord Ye, my humble daughter just came of age today! She admires you greatly and wishes to arrange a marriage contract with you. Seeing as she just came of age, do you think... she could perhaps cut in line?"

As soon as he said that, the other Patriarchs instantly shot him a look.

They were practically fuming.

’Son of a bitch!’

’So what if she just came of age?!’

’And you fucking want to cut in line?!’

’Who gave you the nerve?!’

’Huh?!’

’We’re all still waiting our turn!’

Ye Yunyi looked at them, knowing full well the reason for their enthusiasm.

He just waved his hand. "Whether it’s sooner or later, it’s only a matter of a few days. We are all one family."

One family!

Those two words nearly brought tears to their old eyes.

’All our previous efforts weren’t in vain!’

The several Early-Star Stage Patriarchs smiled and joined the conversation, continuously trying to get closer to Ye Yunyi.

After all, Ye Yunyi was rumored to have the potential to become a King General!

If he really became a King General in the future,

wouldn’t they all soar with him?

A short while later, the grand banquet began.

Ye Yunyi looked at the shy girl before him, thinking about what a wonderful night it was going to be.

But his reverie was shattered just a moment later by a booming voice!

"Looks like we arrived at just the right time!"

"I didn’t expect it to be so lively here!"

Everyone turned to look, and they were all stunned!

Several men were seen striding in from outside with their heads held high.

They looked at the crowd with disdain in their eyes!

Their faces were filled with arrogance!

For a moment, the Patriarchs of the Cyan Ink Barrier were taken aback.

Then, fury ignited within them.

’What’s with that look?!’

’What’s there to be so arrogant about?!’

’Why do they act so damn cocky?!’

"Who are these people?!"

"I don’t know, but they don’t look friendly!"

"Are they here for Lord Ye?!"

...

As the murmurs spread, Ye Yunyi also looked toward the newcomers. He didn’t recognize the three men in the middle.

However, he did recognize the young man next to them!

It was the same young man from the Medicine Alliance who had come to his manor before, demanding a 60-40 split!

Ye Yunyi instantly knew what they were here for.

’This means they’re here to cause trouble!’

One of the Patriarchs standing beside the young man looked at the crowd and announced loudly, "We are from the Fire Barrier!"

"My name is Zhou Huan!"

"My name is Wan Hongjiang!"

"And I am Fang Xian!"

The names landed like a thunderclap, and everyone froze.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, unable to process what they had just heard.

Those names!

’We’ve heard those names before!’

"I remember now! They’re Patriarchs from the Fire Barrier!"

"I think they’re all at the Mid-Star Stage!"

"And they’ve been famous for a long time!"

"They’re all powerhouses!"

"For all three of them to come here today... this is..."

Then, they all turned to look at Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi looked right at them. "What do you mean by coming here today? What do you want?"

The young man, no longer afraid of Ye Yunyi, stepped forward. "We’ve come today to invite you to the Medicine Alliance to explain a few things!"

"If you please!"

His words were laced with arrogance. He had powerful backing now.

After all, he was standing next to three powerful Mid-Star Stage Mutants!
