Chapter 1946 No Choice
The many elders in the Elder’s Hall had known of the commotion that was happening in the Alchemy room. But because the sect masters had gone in there, they didn’t dare to try and even see what was happening in there.
It was only when the sect masters flew out that they saw a glowing tiger head follow them out. And then, they saw the tiger head kill the two of them, with absolutely no possibility of them surviving somehow.
The shock went through the entire group of Elders as they just watched two of the strongest people in the sect die all at once. And all of it had happened because of something inside of the alchemy room.
As they came out of shock at seeing their sect master die, they quickly got into position to fight or kill whatever was in there. That or run away if it was too strong.
However, when they did finally check inside the alchemy room, there was absolutely nothing in there.
Whoever was there before had left the place long ago.

Teng Zhengmian was looking at a small net in his hand, quietly checking on the quality of the threads, when he sensed the massive surge of power from far away.
He quickly threw out his senses and saw it just as his two brothers were killed by the glowing tiger’s head.
“No!”
Shock filled him immediately. What had happened? Why had his brothers died?
His first thought was to take revenge, but as the older brother among the three triplets, he had learned to be calmer than his brother as it was always so required of him.
He frowned deeply. His instinct told him to go avenge his brother’s death right away, but he knew whatever killed his brothers could easily kill him too. He couldn’t throw away his life like this.
Teng Zhengmian had already been told of the situation by his brothers and quietly messaged so he could begin leaving this place before the Blue Silk sect came for him.
He looked at the net in his hand, getting a feeling that this was the only way thing that could protect him.
He quickly ripped open the next, turning them back into individual threads. Then he took off his own robes to begin planting the net into the robes.
This would take him some time.
He took out a talisman in the process and contacted someone, sending them a message. Once the message was sent, he began doing what was necessary for his survival.
Now that his brothers were dead, he would be the only one the sect would be after. He needed to keep on living.

The First Elder, Bai Ganzhou was sitting in a bright room, drinking a cup of wonderful tea when she sensed the massive aura that came from the valley. 𝚏r𝐞𝚠ebo𝐯el.com
“What was that?” Hei Tingxie asked, putting down her own cup of tea as well.
After leaving the sect master’s place, the First Elder had come to her disciple’s house to calm down a little. She had only just arrived for a few minutes and something big had happened.
“Stay back, Tingxie,” she said, feeling a feeling of horror. That aura she had just sensed, was too powerful. Something big was happening.
“Should we go check?” Hei Tingxie asked. “Master, we could be being invaded.”
“If we’re invaded then let the others throw away their life,” the First Elder said. “We don’t need to. We matter too much to die for such nonsense.”
Hei Tingxie couldn’t help but nod softly.
Just then, the First Elder appeared distracted. She took out a talisman, surprised that she was being messaged by the sect master. She feared that she was being sent into battle, worried that she would die if she did so.
However, when she read the message fully, she couldn’t help but smile.
“What is it, master?” Hei Tingxie asked.
“A chance,” the First Elder answered. “A chance for me to avenge my son, and for you to avenge your fiance. We can finally go kill that annoying alchemist bastard like we’ve always planned to.”

Alex teleported directly to the back of his home, near the poison gardens. He looked at the teleportation dial on his hand, the vibrant treasure now expended of its power.
He would have to spend some time setting up another location to teleport to. That didn’t matter at the moment.
‘Was that really Bai Jingshen?’ Alex thought. ‘I thought he was an Immortal, but that power…’
How long had he been a Divine realm cultivator? How long had he hid the information from everyone else?
Even Scarlet hadn’t been aware of the truth.
All the time back in his home world, all the time he had seen Bai Jingshen use his powers, they had always seemed amazing, but never had he thought it was the power of a Divine realm cultivator.
‘He hid himself well,’ Alex thought.
He was still shaken by the sight of Bai Jingshen’s glowing head killing the two strong sect masters at once. He had been told that this one defensive power imbued within him would protect him from any and all immortals just once, but he hadn’t expected it to be this strong.
‘And now it’s gone,’ Alex thought. At least Pearl had another one. He wished Whisker did too now, but Whisker never had to fear death, so Bai Jingshen never saw any reason to protect him.
Alex wondered when he would become as strong as Bai Jingshen.
Elder Lan coughed violently beside him, his body getting horribly destroyed by the poison by the second.
Alex quickly took his wrist and checked his veins. He was dying, and it was happening quickly. He needed to save him somehow.
‘What should I do?’ Alex thought.
He looked into his Soul Space to see what could save him, but there was nothing there at all. The best thing there was a pill at 83% that could fight some of the lower-grade Immortal poisons.
He had felt the power of the poison that was rampaging through Elder Lan’s body. It would not work.
In fact, not a single Immortal pill he had made until now could possibly save him at all. The pills that fought many poisons were usually diverse in power and thus not powerful enough in one field to destroy a powerful poison.
But the problem was that Alex did not know of any poison that did to a body what was happening to Elder Lan. It was an Immortal poison no doubt, but it was a completely foreign one.
To save him, he needed a specific pill to fight this poison, and that was not possible at all.
And what could save him, a pill that could deal with many poisons, was just too powerless to do anything.
But… what if he could make a pill that was not so powerless? What if he made a pill that was a level higher than regular Immortal pills?
Alex took the 83% pill out and stared at it.
He had no other choice now. Elder Lan was dying and time was running out.
“I have to do this.”
Alex grabbed the pill in a fist and began using the technique, Divine Elemental Accord.
