The atmosphere outside immediately became tense, and everyone there wore expressions of disbelief. While Remus was indeed daunting, they never expected that Remus would dare to tell the members of Crimson Valley to "get lost".Medicine Valley, though renowned, paled in comparison to the prestige of Crimson Valley. While Medicine Valley flaunted its reputation as an alchemical organization, its pills merely served as optional supplements. In stark contrast, the Crimson Valley Organization held the authentic second rank in True Life, standing only beneath the esteemed Violet Sanctum."You ..." The disciples from Crimson Valley were furious. The notice affixed outside of Tanjen Organization had already ignited their anger, and now the audacious command to "get lost" only served to further fuel the flames of their wrath.The disciples were about to rush in when Oden suddenly raised his hand to stop them. His expression also started to turn grim.He said coldly, "Master Calsberg, I ha

Oden couldn't help but furrow his brow upon hearing Morven's words.Remus was the one who brought the conversation to this point. If he still endured it, it would bring even more shame to the Crimson Valley. However, he couldn't refuse Morven publicly and could only turn to the two elders.The elder mocked, "Master Howell, you have no say in this matter. Imagine if I were to declare in Crimson Valley, 'No entry for Gresun Organization's disciplines and dogs', what would you do? Does a single statement from me settle things for you?"The other elder chimed in, "What's happening here has nothing to do with you. If you can speak, speak. If you can't, we won't treat you as if you're mute. However, if you insist on speaking when you're unable to, I won't hesitate to sew your mouth shut!""You all ..." Morven never expected them to be so blunt, leaving him momentarily red-faced and speechless.He instinctively glanced at Oden. If these two elders weren't showing him an ounce of respect,

"Well, very well!" Oden's voice sharply rose, infused with intense anger. He declared, "We are Crimson Valley! With a history spanning eight centuries! With nearly a thousand cultivators at the Golden Stage! Twelve at the Nascent Soul Stage! Three acknowledged as saints in True Life!"In terms of overall power, we hold the position of the second-largest organization in True Life. I never envisioned a day when I'd be threatened by a mere alchemist boasting about his connections. So, allow me to reveal to you the true foundation of Crimson Valley!"He turned to the cultivators behind him and asked, "Are there any among you who are willing to join me and become an ally of Crimson Valley?"He was on the verge of losing his temper. Remus was the first person to show such blatant disrespect toward him. Since Remus used pills as a lure to rally people for protection, he decided to leverage his own foundation as bait to turn the people against him.The elder hurriedly turned around and bow

Everyone was shocked as nobody foresaw Remus to be so assertive at this particular moment.Displaying no inclination for compromise, he was indeed preparing to confront Master Irving and even take on half of True Life."Master Calsberg …" Morven and Reese both attempted to persuade him. If he would humble himself, acknowledge his mistake, and endure a few blows, there was a possibility the matter could be resolved, particularly within the confines of Violet Sanctum."I understand your good intentions, but there's no need to persist. My decision is final!" Remus interjected. He had long observed Earl enjoying the spectacle from the shadows. While Earl refrained from direct interference, Remus was sure that he would step in should the situation escalate to a life-threatening point.Given that both Doug and Earl successfully enticed him back using the spirit stone and inner pill, it's evident that they had a favor to ask. While they haven't revealed the details yet, it's unmistakable

The crowd hesitated in disbelief at the newly-presented fact. This time, the disclosure carried an even greater measure of astonishment and dread than the previous one, casting an eerie hush over them.While one person could fabricate a lie, when multiple individuals corroborated the same story, its reliability became highly probable.If what they said was true, it signified an earth-shattering event that reverberated throughout the entirety of True Life. Despite prestigious organizations not consistently showing respect to alchemists, the essence of maintaining amicable connections retained its significance. For individual cultivators and smaller organizations, alchemists were figures to be worshiped. The notion that Remus killed over a dozen alchemists and brought Medicine Valley to its knees was beyond everyone's expectations."It can't be, absolutely not!" Oden erupted angrily. Despite being a master at the Nascent Soul Stage, having already crossed the edge of celestial culti
