The world of Alchemy wasn't strong. Amongst the lower realm worlds, it could be said to be the weakest. However, it was also the most peaceful world with rarely any large scale conflicts.
The alchemists in this realm focused on cultivating their internal energy and exploring the mysteries of Alchemy. Their harmonious coexistence allowed them to exchange knowledge freely and make remarkable advancements in the field of medicine.
However, their peace had slowly started disappearing. As soon as the Frost Mountain was destroyed, and the Frost Dragon killed, this world had lost their guardian.
It was the deterrent of the Guardian which had kept the other Lower Realms from getting greedy and targeting this world. But now, that deterrent was gone.
Every day, many people from other lower realms arrived in the Realm of Alchemy, treating this world as their home where they could do anything they wanted. They had no fear anymore.
Many Clans from other worlds came and simply imprisoned the Alchemists and took them to their world to serve them.
As the Alchemist had weak fighting prowess and no experience, they were like fish in a chopping block.
Only the Major Alchemy Sects had managed to protect their people.
These sects banded together to form an alliance to protect their people, but with the increased forces of the other world's Clans, it was only a matter of time before complete annihilation.
The Sect Master of the Strongest Alchemy Sect was the leading voice in the Alliance. Not only was he the strongest amongst them when it came to fighting strength, but he was also the only Ninth Grade Alchemist.
It was only thanks to his guidance that they were able to hold onto this point, but at the moment, even he seemed worried.
The Sect Master had been strategizing day and night, searching for any chance at survival, but he couldn't see any hope in sight.
Every passing day, their defense line was falling back, thousands of their people dying every day.
Although he acted strong in front of the others so that they would not lose their morale, he knew the reality.
"There is no hope of survival." He looked at a small pill in his hand, which was the strongest poison that he had ever made.
As an Alchemist, he hated poison. However now he himself made one. But this wasn't for the enemies. He made this poison for himself. Instead of getting caught and being treated like a dog by the Clans of the other World, he preferred death.
"I am truly a coward." He let out a depreciating laugh as he shook his head in disappointment. Yet he accepted his fate.
He brought the pill closer to his lips, almost placing it in his mouth when he felt a sudden presence behind him.
Stunned, he stood up. The pill falling on the ground.
"It's you!" His expressions changed from one of fear to that of great surprise. The man behind her was Xu Shan.
He couldn't help but feel as if Heaven had sent Xu Shan to help him. If there was one person who could solve their problem, it was Xu Shan.
He hadn't seen Xu Shan fight before but he still knew that the young man before him wasn't an ordinary person.
Momentarily, his thoughts shifted to the problem at hand, but he soon remembered where Xu Shan had gone, and what kind of help he asked of the young man in the past.
"Did you..." The Old man wanted to ask about his daughter, but seeing Xu Shan return alone, his heart sank.
The young man didn't have the bracelet on his hand either, which could only mean that his daughter was dead.
He felt broken inside, but he controlled his emotions. He couldn't blame the young man for that. Moreover, he needed Xu Shan's help. Only he could turn the tides of this battle.
Even though he knew what he had to do, he found it hard to speak, still thinking about his daughter.
"With this, my promise ends," Xu Shan could already see what the old man was thinking. But he didn't trouble the old man more. He waved his hand, a portal opening before him. A young woman fell out of the portal, right on her knees.
The old man was frozen in shock. She was still alive. Although he had controlled his emotions until now, but he couldn't anymore.
Tears started to stream down his face as he rushed to embrace his daughter. It had been years since they last saw each other, and he never thought he would have the chance to see her again. A sense of relief engulfed him as he held her tightly in his arms.
The girl also couldn't believe it. She had thought that Xu Shan was the same as the Luo Clan Ancestor who was going to use her body, but to her disbelief, he didn't do anything.
He didn't show any greed towards her physique and brought her straight back to her father.
She couldn't help but look back at Xu Shan, wondering just what kind of person this young man was. He was cruel to the point that he had annihilated half the city in the Upper Realm.
He was someone that even the strongest person in the Upper Realm was scared of. He was called the greatest evil to walk the Divine Realm, but in front of her eyes, that evil appeared different.
Watching the old man hug his daughter, Xu Shan had finally kept his words. He kept the deal he made with the old man, and in essence, it hadn't cost him much.
After bringing the girl here, Xu Shan turned around, taking his leave silently.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Hearing his footsteps getting distant, the old man came to her senses. He couldn't let Xu Shan leave.
"Wait!" He stood up, rushing to Xu Shan. He still needed his help.
Xu Shan stopped, turning around with some curiosity.
