Chapter 62 Medicine Alliance 2
The alchemy furnace stood quietly in the middle of the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall in Medicine King Valley. Two chairs were placed in the center of the room, with eight chairs on each side. Under the carved railings and painted pillars, a cultivator stood quietly on each side.
Upon closer inspection, none of them were below the Nascent Soul Realm. Cheng Jiu and the other three were not feeling well inside the alchemy furnace. After all, they had caused trouble in the Medicine Alliance, and it would be unreasonable for Dan Yuan Venerable not to punish them.
The most common form of torture in Medicine King Valley is the Fire Refining Method, where cultivators are locked in a furnace and roasted by flames as if they were being refined into elixirs.
The four were wearing magic robes, but the temperature was too high, and the robes could not block the heat. However, they were fine, but the other cultivators who were also imprisoned were already screaming in agony from the heat.
Even though he wasn't dead, he was in great pain. Liu Shaoyuan looked at his master with a hesitant expression.
"What is it? Speak up, don't put on this ridiculous act!" Dan Yuan Venerable glanced at his disciple, thinking, "Why can't he just be more straightforward?"
“Master’s four disciples are my friends, especially the youngest disciple, who helped me back in Hailian City,” Liu Shaoyuan pleaded.
Dan Yuan Zunjun knew immediately what his disciple was up to. He waved his hand, and four orbs of light floated out from the furnace hole. The orbs landed and revealed the rather disheveled Cheng Jiu and his companions.
He did not release the others.
Actually, he just wanted to teach these four people a lesson, but since his apprentice pleaded for them, he was willing to let them go.
"I heard someone caused trouble at the Medicine Alliance while I was in office?" An extremely arrogant man walked in from outside; his voice could be heard before he was seen.
After tidying themselves up, Cheng Jiu and the other three looked over expressionlessly. They knew they had gone too far, but they didn't think they were wrong. If Medicine King Valley dared to bully them too much, they weren't afraid!
The man bypassed Cheng Jiu and the other three standing in the center and swaggered to sit down next to Dan Yuan Zun Jun. Since this was the interrogation area, he sat in the main seat and looked down at the four of them with a sense of superiority.
Dan Yuan Venerable looked coldly at the person beside him, his gaze icy and stern, like a sharp dagger piercing the heart.
The man, however, seemed completely at ease, as if he were relying on something that made him fearless.
"Where are my men? Why were these troublemakers from the Medicine Alliance released, while my men are still locked up?" The man glanced at the four men with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then shouted loudly at Dan Yuan Zunjun.
"The Medicine King Valley Law Enforcement Hall is not a place where you can run wild. Why do you also want to come into my alchemy furnace for training?" Dan Yuan Venerable said to the man in a cool tone.
"That sounds nice, but you still let these guys out because of your own favoritism." The man pointed rudely at Cheng Jiu and the other three below.
Senior Sister Ying pulled out her whip: "Take your hand back, or we'll be ruthless!" Then she lashed out with the whip, striking a protective barrier hard.
"Hey, you dare hit me! You're nothing but troublemakers! Guards, take them to the Pill Prison and I'll interrogate them myself!" The man was furious, but his anger vanished the moment he saw Senior Sister Ying's face, and he gave the order to the people beside him.
However, since Venerable Dan Yuan was still sitting there, no one would listen to him. Some people made some unusual movements, but they still dared not be presumptuous in front of the Venerable.
"If Medicine King Valley is the kind of sect that arrests people indiscriminately, then we've certainly learned something new!" Cheng Jiu said mockingly after carefully examining Dan Yuan Zunjun and seeing that he didn't move.
Dan Yuan Zunjun glanced at her, thinking, "This little girl is quite good at stirring things up: I told you, the Law Enforcement Hall of Medicine King Valley is not a place for you to run wild!"
He waved his hand, and the next moment the man was also taken into the alchemy furnace.
"Dan Yuan, how dare you! Aren't you afraid my father will come after you?! You dare! Ah!" the man cried out in terror, but he was powerless to retaliate. Over the years, he had been a tyrant, and he had never encountered someone as ruthless as Lord Dan Yuan.
"Idiot." Liu Shaoyuan, who was watching from the side, complained.
Then he met the gazes of the four people who were observing Cheng Jiu: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Jiu and the others glanced at Dan Yuan Zunjun, who was resting with his eyes closed at the head of the table. In fact, they had been worried that the law enforcement officers would be biased towards the people of Medicine King Valley, but it seemed that Dan Yuan Zunjun was not that kind of person.
Another thing is that the man who came in just now was too arrogant; none of them had ever seen such an arrogant person.
You have to understand that no matter what kind of person Dan Yuan Zun Jun is, he is a Zun Jun and also an alchemist. Yet when the other party came in, he was completely ignored and actually sat on equal footing with the other party.
The final result was a bit clownish, but to put it bluntly, if someone didn't have the confidence to do it, they would be a complete idiot. Even the monks standing guard around him would have pulled him down, but they didn't.
Moreover, he claimed to be the person in charge of the Medicine Alliance today, but judging from the four of them, his cultivation level wasn't high; he was only at the Golden Core stage, just like them. With such strength and such an attitude, it seems the Medicine Alliance is far more complex than it appears.
"What's going on with your Medicine King Valley?!" Cheng Jiu said dejectedly. To be honest, if Dan Yuan Venerable Lord hadn't dealt with that person, she would have wanted to call him Master. Someone who could make even a Venerable Lord wary was clearly beyond their capabilities.
"Him? Don't make a sound for a moment, my master will handle everything." Liu Shaoyuan didn't want to tell them about the dark history of Medicine King Valley in his own place.
"Wait a moment?" Cheng Jiu wanted to ask how long to wait, but the next second, a powerful pressure spread unchecked throughout the Medicine King Valley camp.
Not to mention that the four of them felt uncomfortable wearing their magic robes, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators around them all knelt down.
"Dan Yuan, my son!" A middle-aged man with a beard gave off a gentle and harmless feeling, but his shrewd eyes told everyone that this was just an illusion.
Dan Yuan Venerable waved his hand, dispelling his oppressive aura: "This is the Hall of Law Enforcement, Elder Xiao Ming, you have overstepped your bounds!"
Elder Xiao Ming walked into the main hall and gently tapped the alchemy furnace placed in the center twice as he passed by.
The alchemy furnace seemed to be overwhelmed and hissed, like fireworks, one after another burst of light revealing the figures inside.
"Fan'er!" Elder Xiao Ming looked at his son with great heartache: "Dan Yuan boy, you've really gone too far!"
"Father, it was that Dan Yuan who actually locked me in his furnace! And those bastards down there, the one in red even whipped me! You have to stand up for me!" Xiao Fan started complaining as soon as his father grabbed his sleeve, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at Dan Yuan and Senior Sister Ying.
"How dare they! It's one thing to cause trouble at the Medicine Alliance, but to actually assault members of the Medicine Alliance! This is utterly lawless! Guards, take them down!" Elder Xiao Ming was heartbroken to hear his son say this.
"Enough! You haven't even understood the cause and effect before pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks. This is the Hall of Law Enforcement, not your private territory, Xiao Ming." Dan Yuan Venerable interrupted him.
"Are you really going to refuse to give me this face?"
"Recently, the Law Enforcement Hall of Medicine Dust City has received many complaints about the Medicine Alliance. You must understand that the Medicine Alliance does not belong to you alone, Xiao Ming; you are merely a resident elder."
You said you'd let your son join the Medicine Alliance, and the sect didn't object, right? But now you've made such a mess of things, and even the sect leader is very dissatisfied. If this continues, the reputation of Medicine King Valley will be damaged because of the Medicine Alliance. Can you bear that responsibility?
"We have this opportunity today. If it is the fault of these four people, Medicine King Valley will hold them accountable. But if it is the fault of the Medicine Alliance, Elder Xiao Ming, please make a thorough rectification!" Dan Yuan Venerable finally revealed his purpose.
Elder Xiao Ming's face flushed red: "Do you really have to say it in front of all these outsiders?"
"Elder Xiao Ming is even prepared to disregard the reputation of the Enforcement Hall and decide on the execution of others on his own. Why is that not allowed?" Dan Yuan Venerable Lord didn't care at all.
"I will make changes to the Medicine Alliance, but they absolutely cannot be let off easily. If anyone can cause a ruckus in the Medicine Alliance, then the Medicine Alliance will have no reason to continue operating!" Elder Xiao Ming felt very aggrieved, as he, a ninth-grade Mahayana stage alchemist, was suppressed by a junior.
"This falls under the jurisdiction of the Enforcement Hall!"
"Are you really going to refuse to give me this face?" Elder Xiao Ming was furious. In his eyes, the reason he had fallen into this predicament was because Cheng Jiu and his group had caused trouble in the Medicine Alliance. If it weren't for that, the Enforcement Hall wouldn't have been able to find a way to hurt him.
"We are disciples of the Guiyuan Sect! And I don't think we did anything wrong in this matter!" Senior Sister Ying's words directly interrupted the confrontation between the two powerful figures above.
The two men turned their gazes toward them: "Guiyuan Sect, whose disciples are you?"
