Chapter 917: Night Attacks (3)
The moment the words, Divine Doctor, was mentioned everyone including those at the Pill Tower were stunned. Of course, except for some people who already knew about the fact that the Pill Tower was in fact built for the existence of the Divine Doctor and their future successors. It’s just that no one from the Pill Tower had clarified that the knowledge of alchemy that was backing the tower had in fact had something to do with the Divine Doctor. But now someone from the Black Crow Tribe had mentioned it, they all know now.
"Divine Doctor’s Legacy!?" Grand Elder Su Kan exclaimed. "Our Pill Tower... Is it created from the Legacy of the last Divine Doctor!?"
Grand Elder Li Houye and the other elders from the Pill Tower all move their gaze to the Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu, who didn’t seem surprised that someone had just exposed the secret of the tower. He is calm and quiet as if what was said just now was not something important at all. After all, he had already met the current Divine Doctor; the old legacy from the late Divine Doctor is not as important as the living one.
"Lao Han, is he... telling the truth?" Grand Elder Li Houye questioned. "The core, those alchemy techniques, that pill recipe, that medical encyclopedia... are all something from the later Divine Doctor?"
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu didn’t hide anything much about the history of the tower. It can be said that he just didn’t mention it properly to anyone and no one is more interested about the origin of the Pill Tower than the pills they can create.
"Yes. This is true. The origin of our Pill Tower’s alchemy techniques and recipe were all from the late Divine Doctor. Pill Tower was created to support the lineage of the Divine Doctors. The real owner of the Pill Tower will always be the Divine Doctors and no one else!" Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu said.
Grand Elder Su Kan laughed and said, "No wonder. No wonder those pill recipes are handwritten. No wonder the Yun Clan wanted to take over our tower. It was all because of the legacy of the late Divine Doctor."
While Grand Elder Su Kan and the other elders were laughing in delight due to knowing the secret of the Pill Tower, only Grand Elder Li Houye had deeply analyzed all information he had gathered right from the beginning to the current. The thing that lingers in his mind the most is the fact that the Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu, had accepted the fact that the young lady in veil this morning had not only declared that she is the real owner of the Pill Tower, ordered a purging and at the same time, looked like someone who knows a lot about alchemy.
Recalling everything that had happened this morning from the Yun clan’s force contract, to the purging and to the statement of the young lady in veil. If before everything in his mind was covered in fog, now everything had an answer. No wonder the Yun Clan wanted to take over the Pill Tower. They wanted the legacy of the late divine doctor for their own clan and to increase their knowledge for Alchemy which the Divine Doctor is said to possess aside from their heavenly defying knowledge for medicine. The young lady in veil from this morning declaring ownership of the Pill Tower and Han Siyu not denying it meant only one thing.
This young lady in veil was actually a Divine Doctor and that she is their true master. Now wonder the purging in the tower had taken place as soon as she had returned. It’s because the master of the tower was cleaning the house removing all the rats before she took over the tower and restored the essence of the Pill Tower itself. After all, she is the current era’s Divine Doctor.
Thinking of this, Grand Elder Li Houye couldn’t help but look at Pill Tower Master Han Siyu in disbelief with a hint of blame and helplessness within the eyes of the elder. As if feeling someone’s stare Han Siyu looked around only to meet Li Houye’s eyes and the expression on his face and emotions within his friend’s eyes made him confused. He couldn’t understand why there is something like blame within his friend’s eyes leaving him bewildered. On the other hand, Grand Elder Li Houye upon seeing this reaction sighed tiredly. He had always wondered if he was simply born smarter than the other or the people around him are all simple-minded by nature.
Grand Elder Li Houye whispered through his divine consciousness to everyone from the Pill Tower. He had issued a command for the others to follow.
[Everyone takes this chance and ambushes the three crows. Before the other two arrive!]
The moment these words rang in everyone’s head. They reacted calmly as if nothing was heard at all.
Grand Elder Su Kan acted and said, "So what if our Pill Tower had the Divine Doctor’s Legacy!? It isn’t something for you beasts to covet!"
The three black crow beastmen were offended by the word Grand Elder Su Kan had just said. The Divine Beast Race had always hated when the other race only referred to them as an ordinary beast instead of a divine beast.
"How dare you call us mere beasts!"
"You are a dead human!"
"Kill! No mercy!"
The three black crow divine beasts offended by the provocative words of Grand Elder Su Kan had all attacked the elder in anger. However, this is the reaction they had anticipated. With the other elders backing up, Grand Elder Su Kan, Pill Tower Master Han Siyu and Grand Elder Li Houye secretly made a move. With an ambush, they had successfully killed two crows with the last one being killed by the group led by Grand Elder Su Kan. This time due to some planning, none of them were that badly wounded.
However, before they could celebrate or rest, another pair of attackers had landed in the area. These are two tiger beastmen landed near them and their presence is thrice stronger than the three black crow from before. Moreover, this tiger fighting beast is the best in fighting.
The two muscular large tigers stop before the Pill Tower raising their heads and then growling and roaring.
Growl~
The faces of the other elders who were a lot weaker compared to these two suffered from this pressure. In the end, only the Grand Elders and the Pill Tower Master were unaffected.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu looked at the other elders and said, "Meditate to rest. Things aren’t that simple. The current situation is bad for our side."
His two friends, Grand Elder Su Kan and Grand Elder Li Houye had stopped him before he could jump down the tower.
Grand Elder Su Kan said, "Stay. Leave these two to Lao Li and I."
"Focus on protecting the Pill Tower. This place mustn’t fall on our enemies’ hands," Grand Elder Li Houye said.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu’s face turned serious but he knew that his friends’ words were correct. This tower cannot be taken over by the others, moreover, the real threat hasn’t arrived yet. However, as if the heavens had abandoned them, the rest of the enemies from the Yun Clan and the Beast Taming Clan had arrived all together.
The most sarcastic of them all were the clansmen from the Yun Clan, they sneered the moment they had seen the situation of the Pill Tower. Though there isn’t obvious damage to the tower itself, the people inside had spent most of their qi fighting against the others who had arrived before to attack them.
"Well... Well, look at this~"
"It seems that the tower would fall even before the alchemist battle day arrives~"
"Han Siyu, how about giving up now and giving us the tower?"
"The legacy of the Divine Doctor is not something for you guys to monopolize!"
"The Yun Clan is the clan of alchemists. If there is someone who must accept the legacy of the divine doctor, there is no one who fits our Yun Clan the most!"
Even these shameless words were spouted by the Yun Clan as if they weren’t thieves trying to take away someone else’s legacy. They were acting so righteous as villains which made the people from the Pill Tower laugh with anger.
Grand Elder Su Kan snorts, "When a thief speaks righteous, it sounds too ridiculous. Aren’t you bastards embarassed? You should hear the fart coming out of your mouth!"
As always, the words of Grand Elder Su Kan had been as poisonous as ever and irritatingly annoying. It made all those who were targeting the Pill Tower be branded as thieves. With qi empowering his voice, everyone in the Inner Haven had heard his voice and words.
"You...!!"
"You. You. What... Are you a woman with her ’Yous’ and what!?" Grand Elder Su Kan retorted again.
This time everyone who was attacking the Pill Tower had crimson faces from anger and embarrassment. They can actually feel people within the vicinity actually waking up because of the loud voice of Grand Elder Su Kan just now.
