As soon as Shun Long and his group stepped foot on the fifth floor of the 'Myriad pills pavilion', they could all sense the stifling atmosphere on this floor that took them all aback.
Surprisingly, it seemed that there were less than 100 people present on this floor, but every single one of them was clearly an expert who was exuding an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
And yet, all of those experts were now staring at a silver-armored middle-aged man at the depths of the floor, who was coldly staring at 3 men in purple robes in front of him, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Shun Long only needed a glance to realize, that this silver-armored middle-aged man who was emitting a large amount of killing intent towards the 3 purple-robed men was no one else other than commander Quan of the Northern Sovereign's army, Quan Lin.
''Hahaha, Quan Lin, it seems that even vice pavilion master Wu wasn't able to help you save your little snake. How pitiful...'' At the same time, one of the 3 purple-robed men said in a mocking tone as he stared at the silver-armored Quan Lin, without even bothering to conceal the hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
It was obvious that he was clearly rejoicing in Quan Lin's misery.
Without even caring about Quan Lin's anger that had clearly reached its peak, another one of the 3 purple-robed men took a step forward and continued
''What a shame... Quan Lin, I heard that you spent more than 300 years trying to tame your 'green-scaled emperor python' but it will simply die like that. This is the heavens' justice for our second brother! If you had stayed your hand, none of this would have happened!''''
BOOOOOOOOM!!
Quan Lin could no longer hold back after being provoked repeatedly, as a terrifying aura at the peak of rank 9 in the Dao Emperor realm exploded out from his body, heading towards the 3 purple-robed men in front of him like a torrential wave that was looking to drown them.
The surrounding experts around Quan Lin and the 3 purple-robed men were all stunned when they saw this, but they immediately stepped back as they hurriedly opened up the distance between them, afraid that they would get affected by the aftershocks of Quan Lin's attack.
And yet, the 3 purple-robed men didn't seem flustered in the slightest by this, as the purple-robed man in the middle extended out both of his hands, creating a large earth shield that protected him and the other 2 from Quan Lin's attack.
The earth shield trembled momentarily, after being struck by Quan Lin's attack, but it still remained standing with just a couple of cracks being formed on its surface.
A moment later, the earth shield disappeared before the purple-robed man in the middle looked at Quan Lin and continued with a mocking tone
''Quan Lin, you really want to fight within the 'Myriad pills pavilion'? Do you not have the slightest hint of respect for the pavilion master in your heart, or is it that the Northern Sovereign's estate simply doesn't care about the other powers in the Nothern Sovereign's city?
Hehe, don't think that the 3 of us brothers are afraid of you! Even with your 'green-scaled emperor python', you only managed to wound our second brother while you yourself barely managed to escape and your magic beast is now about to die. Would you be able to act so arrogantly if we weren't within the Northern Sovereign's city?''
The surrounding experts all looked at this scene silently without interfering. They knew that Quan Lin himself was the strongest of the 12 commanders in the Northern Sovereign's army, but the 3 purple-robed men belonged to one of the peak powers in the Northern Sovereign's city as well.
None of them were willing to interfere in this fight for no reason.
At that moment however, Quan Lin did his best to reign in his uncontrollable killing intent, as he shouted coldly a moment later
''Qian Hai, the 4 of you worms tried to gang up on me and you still dare to say you aren't afraid of me?
If it wasn't for your second brother being greedy in the first place, why would I even fight with your Qian clan? But even though I didn't manage to kill him back then, the next time I see him I will definitely take his life!''
The moment the 3 purple-robed men heard Quan Lin's words their expressions all changed, as their auras at the peak of rank 9 in the Dao Emperor realm exploded outwards as well, looking like they were ready to go all-out against Quan Lin.
It seemed that Quan Lin's words had truly angered the 3 purple-robed men.
At that moment however, a set of calm, orderly footsteps resounded from the depths of the hall, before an old man in white robes appeared between Quan Lin and the 3 purple-robed men.
The moment that this old man appeared, the entire fifth floor of the 'Myriad pills pavilion' instantly fell silent, as every single person on this floor turned to look at him.
It was clear that this old man's aura had already exceeded the aura of Quan Lin and the 3 purple-robed men who were still at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm.
Staring at Quan Lin, the white-robed old man smiled and cupped his hands, before he said with an apologetic smile on his face
''Commander Quan, I apologize that I was unable to help you this time, but you should know that refining a rank 8 pill can be difficult even for me. However, please remember that you and the Qian clan's young masters are still within the premises of my 'Myriad pills pavilion'. I hope that you will give me face and stay your hand while you are still here.''
At the same time that this white-robed old man appeared, Shun Long's eyes suddenly narrowed as a single thought immediately appeared in his mind
''This person has absorbed an earth flame!''
