Wang Family.
In a secluded, uninhabited corner.
Liu Feng called out, "Where is Zhang Long?"
Zhang Long, the Great Martial Master Realm guard leader hidden in the shadows, immediately appeared with his subordinates.
"We, your subordinates, bow to our Master!"
"May we know, Master, what are your commands?"
Zhang Long knelt down to pay his respects while asking.
Liu Feng glanced at his subordinates and commanded, "The Wang Family's team transporting Alchemy Materials will be intercepted and burned by people from the Xiao Family on their way back."
"You are responsible for secretly escorting them and preventing the Xiao Family from burning the Medicinal Materials for Alchemy."
"Furthermore, after successfully stopping them, you are to go and burn the Xiao Family's transport team!"
"To treat others as they treat you!"
Zhang Long cupped his fists and accepted the order, saying, "Master, rest assured!"
"This matter will be handled by your subordinate!"
Subsequently.
Zhang Long silently disappeared from Liu Feng's sight.
He left behind nine Martial Emperor guards to protect Liu Feng in the dark.
After all, such a small matter could be handled by Zhang Long alone.
Martial Emperor Realm!
In a small place like Wu Tan City, it was a terrifying existence on the level of an invincible Great Emperor!
Seeing that Zhang Long had gone to handle it, Liu Feng had no more worries.
As for the Alchemy matter?
That was left to the Alchemy Scarecrow!
The Alchemy Scarecrow inherited Liu Feng's Alchemy experience; it could continuously perform Alchemy without rest, food, or drink.
It helped Liu Feng with the dirty and tiring work.
As for enjoying life?
That was left to Villain Alchemist Liu Feng to bear alone!
...
At the same time.
Outside the city.
Beside a wide road leading to Wu Tan City.
Hidden in the bushes beside the road was a slender figure who had been lurking for a long time.
This figure was completely enveloped in a mysterious and wide black robe, making it impossible to discern any of his facial features or age.
And he was the Child of Destiny from the refreshing novel, Xiao Chen of the Xiao Family!
Currently, he was lurking here to intercept and burn the Medicinal Materials transported by the Wang Family's team.
"Damn Alchemist Liu Feng, how dare he help the Wang Family refine Medicinal Pills to suppress our clan!"
"If I ever get the chance, I, Xiao Chen, will definitely not spare Liu Feng!"
During the ambush.
Xiao Chen clenched his fists in anger, speaking with deep resentment in his heart.
"Xiao Chen, that Liu Feng has reached a First Grade Alchemist at such a young age; his future is limitless."
"You must not make an enemy of him!"
"Moreover, I, your Master, have seen it, the First Grade Medicinal Pills refined by Liu Feng are truly High Grade!"
"They don't seem like something a First Grade Alchemist could refine!"
"I, your Master, strongly suspect that Liu Feng might have advanced to a Second Grade Alchemist, or even higher!"
On Xiao Chen's finger.
An ancient ring, shimmering with a strange luster, emitted a pleasant female voice.
The speaker was Xiao Chen's Beautiful Master, Ling Ji!
She, in her lifetime, was once the Sect Leader of a major power on the continent!
But alas, she was betrayed by her closest and most trusted person.
Then she died with hatred, hiding within the ring, and became Xiao Chen's Beautiful Master.
"Hmph!"
"I don't care what grade Alchemist Liu Feng is!"
"As long as I intercept and burn all the Medicinal Materials transported by the Wang Family, how will Liu Feng refine Medicinal Pills then?"
"A clever housewife cannot cook without rice!"
"No matter how strong Alchemist Liu Feng is at refining Medicinal Pills, without Medicinal Materials, he's nothing!"
Xiao Chen snorted disdainfully.
He knew that Liu Feng was very powerful at refining Medicinal Pills, because he also practiced Alchemy, but Xiao Chen was just starting out.
Therefore, he was especially jealous of a Genius Alchemist like Liu Feng, who was so young!
Upon hearing this.
Ling Ji, the Beautiful Master in the ring, could sense that her Disciple, Xiao Chen, was somewhat jealous and envious of Alchemist Liu Feng's Alchemy talent.
However, Ling Ji could also understand.
After all!
A First Grade Alchemist at such a young age, capable of refining such High Grade Medicinal Pills, which Alchemist wouldn't be envious?
"This Empress is truly curious and interested in Alchemist Liu Feng of the Wang Family."
Ling Ji, who had lived for a thousand years, blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, thinking to herself.
She wanted to see the Genius Alchemist Liu Feng invited by the Wang Family!
And at this moment.
Xiao Chen, who had been ambushing for a long time, clearly felt a subtle vibration on the road.
Moreover, a cloud of yellow smoke was rising not far away.
This indicated!
The Wang Family's team transporting Medicinal Materials was about to return to the city!
"Hmph!"
"I finally waited for you!"
In Xiao Chen's dark eyes, shrouded by the black robe, a glint of excitement flashed.
He had waited for this moment for half a day.
"Master, lend me some of your power!"
Xiao Chen immediately said.
Ling Ji, the Beautiful Master, did not hesitate upon hearing this and immediately lent some of her power to Xiao Chen.
With the Master's power surging in, Xiao Chen's strength instantly rose from the Martial Artist Realm to the Great Martial Master Realm!
At the same time.
The Wang Family's team transporting Medicinal Materials also arrived.
"Hmph!"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Suddenly!
Xiao Chen, completely enveloped in the mysterious black robe, appeared with a whoosh as he spoke, blocking the path of the Wang Family's Medicinal Materials transport team.
The two Wang Family Elders responsible for transporting the Medicinal Materials were both at the fourth stage of the Martial Artist Realm.
Upon seeing the black-robed mysterious figure blocking their way, they all unleashed the Spiritual Qi within their bodies, raised their great sabers, and charged towards Xiao Chen.
"Take this!"
The Wang Family Elder shouted loudly.
"Hmph!"
"A mere Martial Master Realm dares to challenge a Great Martial Master?
"Truly courting death!"
Xiao Chen said arrogantly.
The next second, his Great Martial Master Realm aura suddenly erupted, directly sending the two charging Wang Family Elders flying dozens of feet away.
"Pfft!"
The Wang Family Elders spat out fresh blood, severely injured.
They had no more strength to stop Xiao Chen.
"These are the Medicinal Materials you transported back from thousands of miles away?"
"I'm going to burn them all to ashes right now!!!"
Xiao Chen leaped onto the carriage laden with Medicinal Materials, a ball of flame appearing in his palm, just about to set it on fire!
And at this moment!
A voice like the might of the heavens, like thunder, suddenly boomed out.
"How dare you!"
"Presumptuous!"
Suddenly!
Zhang Long, the Martial Emperor Realm guard leader, appeared.
His furious roar sent Xiao Chen, who was about to set the fire, flying dozens of miles away.
Not only that!
Xiao Chen was so shaken that his internal organs were injured, and he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
His aura instantly weakened and declined!
"What level of powerhouse is this?"
"Just a single voice, and he actually sent me flying and severely injured?"
Xiao Chen crashed heavily onto the ground, speaking with a face full of terror.
This was the first time he had encountered a powerhouse of this level!
"Oh no!"
"He's actually... a Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse!!!"
"Such a powerhouse, within the city, is simply an invincible Great Emperor!"
"Run!"
"Quickly run!"
Ling Ji in the ring, being knowledgeable, recognized Zhang Long as a terrifying Martial Emperor Realm at a glance.
She used her remaining limited power and led her Disciple, Xiao Chen, to flee thousands of miles away in an instant!
Not daring to stay in place for a second.
As for setting fire to the Wang Family's Medicinal Materials?
That was even more impossible!
With a Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse present, still wanting to set fire, was truly courting death!
