Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Surrendered Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Surrendered Facing Emperor Meng’s attitude, Fang Lin shook his head, the faint smile that had been on his face also completely disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.
“Emperor Meng, you really disappoint me,” Fang Lin sighed.
Dugu Nian had already grown impatient, and slapped the Nine Palace Bag, taking out a zither, “Then let’s cut the crap. If he won’t give it to us, we’ll just take it by force. It’s no big deal to turn Meng City upside down.”
Emperor Meng’s face changed color as he glared angrily at Fang Lin and Dugu Nian.
“This is Meng City. If you two dare to run wild here, even if I suppress you, the Pill Alliance will have nothing to say,” said Emperor Meng. A group of experts from the Meng Kingdom stood behind him, but having witnessed the power of The Ancient Lamp of Flame God before, these experts from Meng Kingdom all showed a look of apprehension in their faces.
Fang Lin indifferently said, “You are taking yourself too seriously, just a minor emperor of the Lower Three Kingdoms. If anything happens to me here, I reckon your throne is likely at its end, and even your royal family will be implicated.”
“Do you know Fang Lin’s current identity?” Dugu Nian added, “He’s now a disciple of Elder Tiankui. And you still think of laying a hand on him? You really don’t know whether to live or die!”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Meng’s heart shook violently, and he looked at Fang Lin with disbelief. Reason told him that this girl’s words were not credible.
“Hmph! What kind of person is an Elder of the Pill Alliance, to take a disciple so casually?” Emperor Meng said coldly, showing no belief in Dugu Nian’s words.
Dugu Nian rolled her eyes, “Alas, there’s really no cure for stupidity. So ignorant and stubborn, no wonder your Meng Kingdom is so lifeless.”
Fang Lin looked at Emperor Meng, slapped the Nine Palace Bag, and took out the token given to him by Elder Tiankui.
“This item was personally bestowed by Elder Tiankui. If Emperor Meng does not recognize it, you can have someone from the Pill Alliance come and see,” Fang Lin said lightly, and the token in his hand emitted an intangible aura, as if it carried a natural majesty.
It was as if this was not merely a token, but a supreme figure standing in front of Emperor Meng and the people of Meng Kingdom, causing them to feel a pressure from the bottom of their hearts.
An elder in grey clothes behind Emperor Meng rubbed his eyes, as if he thought his vision had blurred, and squinted at the token in Fang Lin’s hand.
This grey-clothed elder was the person in charge of the Meng Kingdom branch of the Pill Alliance and a Spirit Vein powerhouse. Although the Poison Pill Master dominated the Meng Kingdom and this branch head didn’t have much power, it didn’t mean he lacked discernment.
“This, this…” The grey-clothed elder stared at the token for a while, his facial expression suddenly changed, and he stuttered for a long time without being able to speak.
Emperor Meng glanced at the grey-clothed elder and asked frowningly, “What have you discerned?”
“This, this is a special Identity Token held only by the disciples of the Elders. That pattern on the token truly represents Elder Tiankui!” the elder said with a trembling voice.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Meng’s mind buzzed as if struck by a large stone, almost fainting.
“Your Majesty!” Many experts from Meng Kingdom saw Emperor Meng sway, all of them cried out in worry and alarm.
The grey-clothed elder had long forgotten his concerns and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing deeply to Fang Lin: “This humble person, Zhang Zongyuan, the head of Meng Kingdom’s Pill Alliance, pays his respects to Master Fang.”
Although he was from the Meng Kingdom, he was also a Pill Refiner of the Pill Alliance, facing a disciple of an Elder, Zhang Zongyuan naturally dared not show the slightest neglect, offering deep respects, even more reverent than towards Emperor Meng.
Fang Lin glanced at the grey-clothed elder and nodded: “You are the head of the Pill Alliance in Meng Kingdom?”
Zhang Zongyuan promptly replied: “Indeed, what instructions does Master Fang have?”
Fang Lin said, “Then advise your Emperor, I need to borrow the Dragon Blood Pool Token for a while.”
The man in gray hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Emperor Meng.
“Your Majesty, it’s better to lend the Token to Master Fang. He is a disciple of Elder Tiankui, and there’s no mistake in that,” the man in gray told Emperor Meng, giving him meaningful glances while speaking.
Emperor Meng was shrewd enough to decipher the man in gray’s eyes, which signaled him not to resist anymore. A disciple of Elder Tiankui was someone they couldn’t afford to offend. Should they truly provoke him and displease such a significant figure as Elder Tiankui, not just the small Meng Kingdom, but even the entire Lower Three Kingdoms couldn’t withstand Elder Tiankui’s rage.
Emperor Meng’s hands trembled with anger – how could he willingly bow his head to Fang Lin?
But circumstances overpower people. Even if Fang Lin weren’t a disciple of Elder Tiankui, simply being a Master of Pill already put immense pressure on Emperor Meng, who didn’t dare to offend him.
Now that he learned Fang Lin was indeed a disciple of Elder Tiankui, it left Emperor Meng in utter despair.
Who was Elder Tiankui? Even if Emperor Meng had never interacted with any high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance, that didn’t mean he was unaware.
Elders were the true powerhouses of the Nine Countries and absolute high-rank figures within the Pill Alliance, possessing immense authority.
If Emperor Meng were a stone, then the Elders would be akin to great mountains, incomparable to him in every aspect.
Emperor Meng was afraid, not of Fang Lin, but of Fang Lin’s identity, and the Elder behind him.
“Emperor Meng, are you still unwilling to lend me the Token now?” Fang Lin asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, his lips curled into a slightly mocking sneer.
Emperor Meng could clearly see the mocking expression on Fang Lin’s face, which incensed him so much he wished he could stride forward and slap Fang Lin hard across the face.
But Emperor Meng had already submitted. Without saying a word, with a darkened face, he took out a token and tossed it towards Fang Lin.
Fang Lin reached out and caught the Token steadily. It was indeed the Token for activating the Dragon Blood Pool Array, identical to the ones Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye had given him.
With this, he had finally gathered three Tokens, which would enable him to activate the outer array of the Dragon Blood Pool.
“Thank you, Emperor Meng. I will return it to you once I’m done with it,” Fang Lin said, securing the Tokens.
Seeing the Token secured, Dugu Nian knew a fight wasn’t going to happen and put away her zither, muttering under her breath about how boring it was.
Fang Lin then turned to the gray-clothed Elder, Zhang Wenzong, and said, “This Meng Kingdom has been controlled by the Poison Pill Master for far too long. As a Pill Alliance official, you can’t neglect everything. If you feel it’s beyond your ability, then I will tell Elder Tiankui to have someone replace you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenzong’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he nodded repeatedly, “I understand, I understand. I will manage the Meng Kingdom’s Pill Alliance well and ensure that Poison Pill Master cannot cause trouble again.”
“That would be for the best,” Fang Lin finished, taking one last look at Emperor Meng before leaving Meng City with Dugu Nian.
Emperor Meng snorted heavily, not acknowledged by anyone, and vanished, clearly very upset.
And after Fang Lin’s visit, the Meng Kingdom was dramatically affected as the Poison Pill Master faced severe repercussions.
Leaving the Meng Kingdom, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian went straight for the location of the Dragon Blood Pool.
