"Elder Yan, my master truly isn’t here, you... sigh..."

A young disciple was trying to persuade him, yet Elder Yan completely ignored the disciple’s words, and strode directly into Master Meng’s residence.

Swish.

Elder Yan’s gaze swept directly across the courtyard, landing on Master Meng and Master Yuan.

"Master, I told him you weren’t here, but Elder Yan insisted..."

The disciple was in the midst of explaining when Master Meng waved his hand: "You may leave, this is none of your business now." Upon hearing this, the disciple bowed and retreated.

With a shift of his gaze, Master Meng looked at Elder Yan and said, "I wonder what brings Brother Yan to my abode?"

"Hand the person over," Elder Yan demanded angrily.

Master Meng sat down, took a sip of tea, and with a calm smile, said, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

"Master Meng, do you think I don’t know? My apprentice is definitely in your hands. I won’t stop you from currying favor with the major sects, but if you touch my apprentice, we’re irreconcilable enemies," Elder Yan shouted.

As one of the six elders of the Pill Tower, Elder Yan couldn’t even protect his own apprentice, then how could he maintain his standing in the future? If he hadn’t sent an apprentice to summon Jin Zhimo, he wouldn’t have known about Jin Zhimo’s disappearance. Recalling the previous incident with Master Meng and Master Yuan, Elder Yan believed it was certainly the doing of the two. Otherwise, why were they all gathered here? They claimed not to be present, yet it was obvious they were guilty.

"Elder Yan, I truly don’t know what you’re talking about. Your apprentice isn’t on your turf, yet you come here looking for them, isn’t that a bit outrageous?" Master Meng replied solemnly.

Of course, he wouldn’t admit to such a thing. After all, unless Elder Yan caught him red-handed, admitting would mean breaking Pill Tower’s rules, and even as an elder, he couldn’t bear the punishment.

"Elder Yan, no matter the case, I am still a member of the Pill Tower. The one targeting your apprentice isn’t me, but someone else. You should be looking for them instead. By the way, if your apprentice has only been missing for a short time, you might be able to retrieve them. If the time stretches on, you and your apprentice might be unable to see each other again," Master Meng suggested.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yan trembled with rage: "Fine, wait until I retrieve my apprentice, then I’ll settle the score with you properly."

Elder Yan stormed in with anger and stormed out with anger, just as Master Meng predicted. He can’t afford to delay. If Jin Zhimo is in the hands of the major sects at this moment, it must be right after leaving the Pill Tower, probably not far away yet. He should be able to catch up shortly, otherwise, once too much time has passed, it really would be impossible to retrieve him.

After Elder Yan left, Master Yuan spoke with some concern: "Elder Meng, is it wise for us to be at odds with Elder Yan like this? Once Elder Yan returns, he won’t easily let it go."

Being the elders of the Pill Tower, they are all smart people. Since Elder Yan has come to them, even without evidence it was their doing, one would suspect it was an internal affair of the Pill Tower. Otherwise, even if the major sects were bold, they wouldn’t act within the Pill Tower’s territory.

"And what if we’re at odds," Master Meng sneered: "As long as he chases them down and battles fiercely, his return is uncertain."

"What!" Master Yuan’s heart jolted.

Master Meng’s words shocked Master Yuan internally. The implication was clear—if Elder Yan pursued, the major sects might not give any face and would directly take deadly action. Is that... possible?

For some reason, looking at Master Meng’s determined expression, Master Yuan felt that it could indeed be possible. No wonder Master Meng wasn’t afraid to provoke Elder Yan to death; it’s evident he had considered this aspect in advance.

"Hmph, since the soft approach doesn’t work, we can only take the hard route. This is all Elder Yan’s own doing," Master Meng smiled, sending chills down one’s spine.

"But if the Tower Master finds out, we..." Master Yuan remained worried.

"Don’t worry, the law won’t punish the masses. Even if the Tower Master knows, he’ll turn a blind eye. He won’t go against the major sects for a dead person," Master Meng said confidently.

"Let’s hope so," Master Yuan replied, feeling uncertain.

......

Sizzle...

The void was torn, and two figures suddenly emerged from the sky.

These two were none other than Ye Qiu and Miao Shan. Upon learning that the major sects wanted people from the Pill Tower, they rushed over as quickly as possible.

As the sixth elder of the Pill Tower, Ye Qiu hadn’t returned for some time. He directly produced the token, and the guards at the gate all showed respect, not daring to obstruct.

This was a token of an elder, the highest authority in the Pill Tower, second only to the Tower Master.

"Is that our sixth elder?"

"Ye Fentian, it’s him. Now the entire ancestral land is searching for him, yet he just appears here. Isn’t he afraid?"

"The world of the strong, we don’t understand."

The two guards were discussing, as Ye Qiu and Miao Shan had already delved deep into the Pill Tower, heading directly to Elder Yan’s residence.

"Zhimo!"

A bad feeling had continuously lingered in Ye Qiu’s heart. He scanned the area with spiritual power, hoping to find traces of Jin Zhimo.

But after a sweep, his heart sank. No trace was found.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a young girl saw the master and apprentice pair with a puzzled expression.

However, she quickly recognized Ye Qiu, especially since she had also been present during his alchemy competition with Master Meng.

"You are Ye... Fentian... Sixth Elder!" the girl exclaimed.

"Where is Zhimo?" Ye Qiu had no time for small talk and directly inquired.

Upon hearing the mention of Jin Zhimo, the girl was about to cry, saying: "Zhimo is gone, and the master went to find Master Meng and Master Yuan."

Jin Zhimo is missing!

Ye Qiu’s unsettling feeling intensified, and he urgently asked: "You said Zhimo’s disappearance involves Master Meng and Master Yuan?"

The girl nodded and recounted the earlier persuasion by Master Meng and Master Yuan concerning Elder Yan, listening to which Ye Qiu bristled with killing intent.

These two elders!

Ye Qiu couldn’t contain the murderous air in his expression, startling the girl, "How long ago did your master leave?"

"It’s been a while, he hasn’t returned. I just heard from a senior brother that the master left hurriedly from Master Meng’s and then exited the Pill Tower."

Ye Qiu exchanged glances with Miao Shan. From those few words, he understood that Jin Zhimo must no longer be in the Pill Tower, or Elder Yan wouldn’t have left it. There was a high likelihood that Elder Yan was pursuing Jin Zhimo.

"Thank you," Ye Qiu thanked the girl. If not for time constraints, he would first seek out Master Meng and Master Yuan for retribution.

"Once I find Zhimo, neither of you will have a good time," Ye Qiu glared in the direction of Master Meng, then stepped onto the flying vessel, disappearing swiftly.

The master and apprentice pair came quickly and left quickly. Before the Pill Tower’s members could discover that Ye Qiu had just returned, Ye Qiu and Miao Shan had already left.
