The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1704 - 1732: Trumped-Up Charges [First Update]

"Provocation! This is absolutely blatant provocation! To actually steal our Pill Hall’s pill formula and use it against us—it’s as if they see our Pill Hall as nothing!" Everyone roared in anger, filled with murderous intent towards Ye Feng.

Lu Feng Palace Master glared angrily at Ye Feng and loudly questioned, "Boy, the formula for the Proof of Dao Pill is the supreme treasure of our Pill Hall. How dare you steal it? Such a crime deserves death, and it is something our Pill Hall absolutely cannot tolerate. Do you admit your guilt?"

Immediately, Liu Huayuan became anxious and shouted, "Lu Feng Palace Master, you must investigate this thoroughly! How could Mr. Ye Feng possibly steal your pill formula? There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?" Lu Feng Palace Master sneered, "You’re telling me it’s a misunderstanding? The formula for the Proof of Dao Pill, in the entire Pill Hall, whether it’s the headquarters in the Holy Land or our branch on the Spirit Martial Continent, is known by only three people. If Ye Feng can refine it, then if it wasn’t him who stole the formula, what else could it be? Do you have any other explanation?"

Ye Feng sneered disdainfully, "What a joke! Are you all fools? It’s just a mere sixth-level Dao-grade pill, and you’ve already demonstrated the alchemy process once in front of me. Wouldn’t it be easy for me to learn? Either you overestimate yourselves and think the Proof of Dao Pill is too difficult, or you underestimate me, thinking I’m as foolish as you, unable to refine it?"

"Impossible!" After hearing Ye Feng’s words, the people present shouted in shock.

Everyone knew that alchemy was no simple matter; in some aspects, its difficulty far exceeded martial arts.

For example, although there were nearly a hundred Martial Artists at the initial stage of Asking in the entire Spirit Martial Continent,

there were at most only a dozen fourth-level Dao-grade Alchemy Masters, making it entirely different.

The steps of alchemy are extremely complicated. Even if you observe it firsthand, it’s impossible to learn how to refine it just by watching once. You must have a formula unless a person’s alchemy skill has reached an incomprehensible level.

Just like a fourth-level Dao-grade Alchemy Master could, by observing an Alchemy Master refine a pill used by a Divine Realm expert, refine it after watching just once without needing a formula.

Everyone’s hearts trembled in shock, feeling utterly stunned and unable to accept it.

Lu Feng Palace Master cursed directly, "Nonsense! Learning to refine the Proof of Dao Pill by watching once means your alchemy skill must be incredibly high, at least a sixth-level Holy Pill Master. Don’t tell me you’re a sixth-level Holy Pill Master!

Because that’s impossible! Sixth-level Holy Pill Masters are only legends in the Spirit Martial Continent, millions of years ago. Now, even in the Holy Land, there’s only a first-level Holy Pill Master; you absolutely cannot be a sixth-level Holy Pill Master!"

"Indeed! You’re not a sixth-level Holy Pill Master, yet you can refine the Proof of Dao Pill; you must have stolen our Pill Hall’s formula!" Instantly, everyone’s emotions became incredibly intense, eager to kill Ye Feng on the spot.

In truth, they were well aware that the formula for the Proof of Dao Pill is kept in the Holy Land’s Pill Hall, guarded by Proof of Dao realm experts. How could Ye Feng, at the mid-stage of Entering Dao, possibly steal the formula?

But rather than believe Ye Feng stole the formula, they were even more unwilling to believe Ye Feng was a sixth-level Holy Pill Master.

Lu Feng’s body surged with murderous intent, his aura fixed intensely on Ye Feng, shouting angrily, "Ye Feng! Confess to me immediately, plead for forgiveness, and tell me where you really got the formula for the Proof of Dao Pill, or today you will surely die!"

However, Ye Feng remained disdainful, looking at Lu Feng Palace Master with calmness, asking lightly, "Lu Feng Palace Master, don’t you have any idea in your mind about how the formula came about? Is this an accusation without reason? I just ask you one thing, are you trying to be unreasonable?"

Lu Feng Palace Master roared in fury, "Unreasonable? You thief, stealing from our Pill Hall, and you expect me to let you go?"

Ye Feng shook his head, "Are you seeking death?" Ye Feng’s tone was icy and filled with murderous intent.

The voice gave a mysterious feeling, as if it came from the deathly Netherworld, causing trembling hearts, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop instantly, making them feel as if they were plummeting into an ice cellar.

Lu Feng erupted in anger, "Bastard, you’ve stolen our Pill Hall’s formula, yet you dare to be so arrogant, utterly ignoring our Pill Hall. If I don’t kill you today, won’t the Martial Arts World mock that our Pill Hall has no one!"

Ye Feng chuckled, "Furious out of humiliation, inferior in alchemy skills, and now wanting to kill? Your sophistry sounds refreshingly ingenuous. A mere sixth-level Dao-grade pill—do I need to steal it? If you’re going to strike, just do it; why waste so many words? But before you do, I advise you, bear the consequences of shirking responsibility yourself!"

"Impudent!" Lu Feng Palace Master roared furiously, "Ye Feng, don’t forget where you are. This is our Pill Hall, not your Daoist School. It’s not your place to be arrogant, just a mid-stage Entering Dao—don’t think I can’t kill you!"

With a furious shout, Lu Feng Palace Master immediately took out a Daoist Talisman from his Storage Ring.

Lu Feng Palace Master immediately crushed the Daoist Talisman, and at once, endless formation runes burst out like a tide from the talisman, sweeping into every corner of the Pill Hall.

"Boom~~~" Instantly, centered on the Pill Hall, the world within a hundred-mile radius trembled.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Beams of light ascended to the sky, shooting toward the heavens. The formation emerged, with massive pillars of flame continuously rising into the Void, enveloping the world within a hundred miles.

In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic Flame Formation, turning the entire world into a massive furnace, with an aura of scorching the heavens and cooking the seas. The surrounding temperature constantly rose, and in the Void, huge fireballs continuously gathered and transformed into fiery beasts. Each fiery beast seemed entirely lifelike.

Each one was vivid and exuded a wild aura, as if capable of burning the world, creating immense pressure. Liu Huayuan could instantly see that this formation’s level was incredibly high, even surpassing the protective formation of the Daoist School...
