277: Hunxuzi!

With the appearance of Clan Chief of the Yao Clan, Yao Dan, the entire plaza fell into a complete silence.

This was understandable, as the Clan Chief of the Yao Clan was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

This strength was enough to awe everyone present.

Almost everyone respectfully bowed their heads slightly, their eyes filled with reverence.

However, Gu Fei, who was seated in the VIP section, remained as calm as ever.

As a Late Stage Six-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse, Gu Fei had long been accustomed to even more powerful existences.

Eight-Star and Nine-Star Dou Sheng were nothing surprising in his eyes, let alone the Clan Chief of the Yao Clan, who only had a 7-Star cultivation.

Gu Fei's gaze calmly swept over Yao Dan, his expression indifferent, as if he was merely looking at an ordinary Elder.

Moreover, Gu Fei's original personality was neither humble nor arrogant.

Yao Dan walked slowly, his white robes billowing without wind, each step treading upon the Void Realm, causing strange ripples.

His turbid yet sharp eyes scanned the crowd, finally settling on Gu Fei.

Seeing Gu Fei so composed, Yao Dan nodded slightly at this moment, seemingly appreciating Gu Fei.

"Young Clan Leader Gu Fei, your visit this time should be to contend for the title of the number one Alchemist, correct?"

Yao Dan directly sat down in the first seat of the VIP section not far from Gu Fei, a gentle smile on his face.

Yao Dan's ability to say such a thing made Gu Fei slightly stunned.

One must know that there were many powerhouses present, yet Yao Dan actually asked Gu Fei if he was here to take first place.

This one sentence was enough to indicate that Yao Dan had already seen through Gu Fei's hidden cultivation.

Gu Fei was startled, not expecting that his deliberately hidden cultivation would be seen through by Yao Dan at a glance.

"Heh heh, who doesn't desire to be number one in the world? However, to be able to exchange pointers with the Grandmasters of the Medicine Ceremony is also a beautiful thing..."

Gu Fei's lips curled slightly, and he said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yao Dan's eyes.

The Gu Fei before him not only possessed astonishing strength but also an exceptionally mature mindset.

His words were utterly flawless.

Just then, the world suddenly changed. The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, making everyone present feel a surge of trepidation.

"This is..."

"Old Man Shennong!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, immediately causing a commotion.

"What? That legendary ancestor of Alchemists has actually appeared?"

"Heavens, I actually have the fortune to see Old Man Shennong!"

A series of exclamations erupted from the crowd, and everyone's gaze focused on the nearby area.

To call him the ancestor of Alchemists was indeed a bit of an exaggeration.

However, Old Man Shennong truly deserved this title.

One must know that Old Man Shennong was a reclusive master who existed in the Shennong Mountains.

A Grade 9 Profound Pill Grandmaster.

He was extremely Senior in the Alchemist world of the Fighting Qi Continent.

It was said that he was already a thousand years old.

Moreover, he did not often show his face. To call him the ancestor of Alchemists was not because of his strength, but more because of his seniority.

In the distance, an old man dressed in plain cloth gradually appeared. The old man looked ordinary, but his eyes seemed to be able to pierce through time and space, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Senior Shennong!"

Yao Wangui and other Elders of the Medicine Clan hurriedly rose and bowed, their faces full of respect.

"Not bad. To achieve such accomplishments at a young age, the Gu Clan has worthy successors."

Old Man Shennong's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Gu Fei. He smiled slightly and spoke.

"Junior Gu Fei greets Senior Shennong. It is truly Junior's honor to receive Senior's praise."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei also respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

His words carried three parts formality.

However, there were also seven parts of respect for the old Senior within them.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock of Old Man Shennong's appearance, a chilling aura suddenly came from the distant sky. A black figure tore through the air, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to solidify.

"Hun Xuzi!"

Someone exclaimed, their voice filled with disgust and anger.

The black figure slowly landed on the plaza, revealing a sinister face. It was Hun Xuzi of the Hun Clan!

"This guy! How does he still have the nerve to attend the Medicine Ceremony?"

"Right! This traitor who betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors dares to attend the Medicine Ceremony? Get this guy out of here!"

"Get out! The Medicine Clan does not welcome despicable people like you."

A burst of angry curses erupted from the crowd of the Medicine Clan.

"What's wrong with me attending the Medicine Ceremony?"

Hun Xuzi's face was grim, his gaze sweeping over everyone, finally settling on Yao Dan.

"Wait."

"A visitor is a guest! Since he has come, let him participate."

"However, if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Yao Dan was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.

It was understandable; such a sacred event for the Medicine Clan naturally wouldn't let one person spoil the atmosphere.

Yao Dan was still very calm. At this moment, the Medicine Ceremony naturally couldn't be disrupted!

Hun Xuzi snorted coldly and walked straight towards the VIP section.

However, his gaze remained fixed on Gu Fei, a sinister light flickering in his eyes.

"Hun Xuzi, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you intend to thank me for sparing your Young Clan Leader's dog life last time in the Demon Flame Space?"

Gu Fei noticed Hun Xuzi's gaze, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

As soon as these words came out, Hun Xuzi's face instantly became even uglier.

Last time in the Demon Flame Space, the Hun Clan had lost two Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses at once; he had always kept this grudge in his heart.

"Gu Fei, don't be too arrogant. Do you know that the tallest tree in the forest is always the first to be felled by the wind?"

Hun Xuzi said sinisterly, his voice full of threat.

"Is that so? Do you, a treacherous person who betrayed his master, have the right to say such things?"

Gu Fei, however, was completely unconcerned and sneered instead.

Hun Xuzi was furious upon hearing this, his Dou Qi surging within him, about to make a move.

Gu Fei naturally wouldn't tolerate this guy, but Gu Fei merely sat steadily.

After all, at this Medicine Ceremony, if this guy made a move, Gu Fei wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

"Stop!"

However, just then, a majestic voice rang out.

"You are not allowed to be presumptuous during the Medicine Ceremony!"

Yao Dan stood up, his gaze coldly sweeping over Hun Xuzi.

Although Hun Xuzi was unwilling, he could only suppress his anger, snort coldly, and sit back down.

"Young Clan Leader Gu Fei spoke well!"

In the distance, Cao Ying of the Pill Tower couldn't help but cheer upon hearing these words.

However, these two simpletons' timing for their comments was truly something else.

After Yao Dan's words were spoken, the scene was very quiet.

At this moment, the voices of these two could be heard throughout the entire venue!

At this time, Hun Xuzi's face turned completely dark.

This guy probably wished he could tear Cao Ying apart with his bare hands.

"The time has come, the Medicine Ceremony begins!"

Yao Dan's gaze slowly swept across the entire venue, finally settling on Gu Fei. He looked deeply at Gu Fei, then spoke.

As Yao Dan's words fell, the entire plaza instantly erupted into a frenzy.

Just then, more than ten giant Alchemist platforms suddenly rose in the center of the plaza.

Each Alchemist platform was several tens of feet high, looking like small mountains, and emitting a faint glow.

And around the Alchemist platforms, countless strange runes flowed.
