Novel Full Chapter 1446 1544 The Myriad Elixirs Convention
Chapter 1446: Chapter 1544: The Myriad Elixirs Convention Chapter 1446: Chapter 1544: The Myriad Elixirs Convention “Man with the Wolf Head Mask? Aren’t you only supposed to kill Poison Pill Masters? How dare you strike against Hidden Kill Hall? Are you not afraid of imminent disaster?” The leader knew that escape was hardly likely, but still spoke with undaunted resolve.
Without a word, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask took a light leap and stood right in front of the leader.
The leader suddenly launched an attack, with both palms emanating powerful auras, attempting a desperate strike.
However, all that was heard was a swoosh, as the Longsword sliced across the leader’s neck. His actions came to an abrupt halt, and his facial expression instantly froze.
Thereafter, the head fell, and blood gushed forth, failing to stain even a speck on the Man with the Wolf Head Mask’s robe.
To kill, sheathe the sword, turn around, vanish…
As if what he did was utterly mundane, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask did not say a single word from beginning to end, disposing of the Hidden Kill Hall Assassins with just two strikes.
…
To revitalize the declining vigor of the Pill Alliance, the Western Moon King had the Pill Alliance’s high ranks organize an event known as the Grand Pill Conference.
The Grand Pill Conference was an event where the Pill Alliance would showcase ten thousand different Pills for representatives from the Nine Countries to appreciate and, if someone took a liking to a certain Pill, they could exchange items for their pill of choice from the Pill Alliance.
In preparation for the Grand Pill Conference, the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance had painstakingly selected ten thousand Pills with the lowest being of the fourth rank, and the majority being rank five or above, including some of superior quality.
Moreover, the ten thousand Pills were of diverse types, many of which were seldom seen outside, and all were from the hands of some of the most capable veteran Pill Refiners; the quality of the Pills was assured.
As news of the upcoming Grand Pill Conference spread, it sparked substantial reactions throughout the Nine Countries, although initial responses from the various factions were sparse.
Only some forces closely related to the Pill Alliance indicated their attendance at the Grand Pill Conference immediately, while many others adopted a wait-and-see approach.
If the royal families of the Upper Three Countries were to go, those factions would follow. If the royal families rejected the Pill Alliance’s invitation, then the matter would be worth serious thought and deliberation.
The refusal by the royal families of the Upper Three Countries would undoubtedly signify relations with the Pill Alliance had significantly deteriorated, and many factions were pondering which side to align with and which to distance themselves from.
Faced with the invitation of the Pill Alliance, almost simultaneously, the royal families of the Upper Three Countries announced they would definitely attend the Grand Pill Conference.
With such a response from the royal families, the various factions also settled their hearts and likewise pledged their attendance at the Grand Pill Conference.
As for the powers that declined the Pill Alliance’s invitation, there were some but not many; most of the Nine Countries held a certain apprehension towards the Pill Alliance.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, the Pill Alliance had not yet collapsed; it was merely on a downward trajectory. It remained a colossal entity in the land of the Nine Countries, and there were few who dared to disrespect the Pill Alliance.
The Pill Alliance even extended an invitation to several Alchemy Tao noble families led by the Long Family, hoping they would attend the Grand Pill Conference.
This move, in the eyes of many, seemed to bear the intent of provocation and a show of might, while others considered it an overture to the Alchemy Tao noble families.
However, regardless of the interpretation, the Pill Alliance had extended the invitation to the Alchemy Tao noble families, who had yet to respond for a long time.
Only a few days before the Grand Pill Conference began did the Long Family finally make a declaration, stating they would send representatives.
Yet, it was only the Long Family’s members who would come; members from the other Alchemy Tao noble families would not participate.
Of course, whether the Long Family were coming to partake in the Grand Pill Conference or to cause a scene, nobody knew.
The Grand Pill Conference proceeded as scheduled on a plain hundreds of miles away from the Ancient Pill Court.
There, the Pill Alliance constructed a tower named Pill Appreciation Tower, specifically for hosting the Grand Pill Conference.
On the very day of the Grand Pill Conference, numerous Pill Alliance high-ranking officials gathered, with the Western Moon King personally presiding and welcoming guests from all places.
That day, the vicinity of the Pill Appreciation Tower was bustling with remarkable activity, an assembly of the Nine Countries’ powers not seen since the great wars.
With the arrival of the Three Emperors, all present focused their attention; the Western Moon King himself stepped forward to greet the Three Emperors.
The Three Emperors arrived together, bringing many royal experts with them, greeting the Western Moon King and other high-ranking Pill Alliance officials as well as other factions present.
Of course, given the stature and status of the Three Emperors, they need not pay respects to others, simply exchanging greetings with the Western Moon King.
Among all present, only the Western Moon King was deemed worthy to receive courtesy from the Three Emperors, the rest had to stand aside.
“It has been a long time since we last met, yet your elegance remains unchanged, and it seems your cultivation has even improved,” the Western Moon King greeted the Three Emperors with joined palms and a smile.
The Tang Emperor smiled slightly, “Your Majesty jests; when it comes to cultivation progress, how could we compare to the four Heaven Kings?”
“The East Pole has been in seclusion for so long; isn’t it time to come out yet?” the Yuan Emperor asked directly.
The Western Moon King’s smile remained unchanged, “He will be out of seclusion soon.”
Though he said this, the Western Moon King had no idea when the East Pole Heaven King might emerge. With so many outsiders present, he couldn’t very well say that the East Pole Heaven King’s emergence was indefinitely delayed.
By now, who in the world didn’t know that the East Pole Heaven King was an expert of the Immortal realm, hailed as the foremost individual among the Nine Countries? It was precisely because of East Pole Heaven King’s reputation that, even as the Pill Alliance was on the decline, it still inspired considerable wariness in the royal families of the Upper Three Countries. They dared not make rash moves or openly sever ties with the Pill Alliance, at least not until they could ascertain the true extent of the East Pole Heaven King’s injuries.
The Qin Emperor, smiling lightly, spoke, “Today, Your Majesty, I am planning to select a few Pills here. Do not be stingy when the time comes.”
“Haha, Your Majesty Qin Emperor has such discerning taste; I fear our Pill Alliance’s Pills might not meet your esteemed eyes,” the Western Moon King replied with a laugh.
As the Western Moon King exchanged pleasantries with the Three Emperors, a Flying Boat emerged from the distant sky, soaring through the clouds.
On that Flying Boat, a banner fluttered in the wind, prominently emblazoned with a large character for ‘Dragon.’
“The Long Family has arrived.” On the ground below, many whispered amongst themselves, their expressions varied.
Especially for those from the Pill Alliance, their faces were a study in complexity. The Long Family was once part of the Pill Alliance but now had drawn a clear line of separation.
On board the Long Family Flying Boat, the current Family Head, Dragon Haotian, stood with his hands clasped behind him, followed by many prominent figures of the Long Family. A considerable number of the younger generation were also present, with the siblings Long Zhiming and Long Zhixin notably in attendance.
