I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1015

1015 Traces of the Mastermind, the Wei Clan of the Holy Land

Not every city knew what had happened in the mine. However, at this point, the mine had been sealed. No matter how slow they were, they knew that something must have happened.

However, they didn’t know what had happened.

Every city had arranged for people to guard the mine, but the number was different.

However, the news of a flood dragon spirit that had not yet fully transformed in the mine spread like wildfire throughout every city.

For ordinary people, they didn’t know what a flood dragon spirit that hadn’t completely transformed meant, but the high-level officials of each city were very clear about what it meant.

This was a huge crisis, but if they could subdue this flood dragon spirit, it would undoubtedly be an unimaginable opportunity.

Everyone understood that Taining, who had been in control of the mine, must have been hiding it from them. Tuoshan’s sudden bid for control of the mine this year probably meant that they had learned something.

However, the two cities had a tacit understanding to hide it from them. Clearly, they did not want them to know.

They didn’t have time to complain about the two cities hiding the news from them, because the news spread out at an amazing speed.

To each city, they did things their own way. In fact, there were no particularly top experts. They relied on the tacit understanding of all parties to maintain a certain degree of independence under the various major forces.

The emergence of an unformed flood dragon spirit might be a disaster for them, but for the major forces in the Holy Land, it was undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

Even if it was a dragon spirit that had not successfully transformed, it still held a huge attraction.

Almost at the same time, the forces in the vicinity of this area began to stir and take action.

For a time, all kinds of news spread.

Some people saw the carriage of the Sky Breaker Sect’s sect leader pulled by several strange beasts, approaching from the sky.

Some people also saw the First Divine Maiden of the Divine Maiden House flying across the sky on a snow lotus.

The president of the Azure Dragon Society appeared in a high-profile manner and moved into Tuoshan.

In addition to the three magnates of the nearby forces, there were also many experts from various sects and aristocratic families who appeared in the nearby cities to inquire about what was happening in the mine.

They clearly had only one goal, which was the flood dragon spirit in the mine.

These behemoths moved extremely quickly. They understood that as the news continued to spread at an astonishing speed, it might attract more and more experts. It was not impossible to really attract some old monsters. Only by seizing the flood dragon spirit before that could their forces have the possibility of further improvement.

This was a huge opportunity. Whoever grasped it would be able to rule the future.

The appearance of these behemoths made the higher-ups of each city anxious. After all, they could not afford to offend any of these forces.

Under such circumstances, the various cities began to form alliances. In the already turbulent situation, even more undercurrents bubbled up.

In a secret room in Taining of the city lord’s mansion resided the city lord, Zhou Wuji, and the revered elder, Xu Long.

These two supreme and powerful existences in Taining, were now standing with their heads lowered as if they were admitting their mistakes.

At this moment, the only person sitting in the secret chamber was a square-faced middle-aged man who was about forty years old. He was dressed in a magnificent robe and had on an angry expression.

“What happened? How did the news get out?”

“First Elder, we didn’t leak the news, but Tuoshan and Tianhe knew about it long ago. Maybe it was them who leaked the news.” Xu Long looked at the middle-aged man with a timid gaze.

At this time, his aura was much weaker than before. This was because the injuries he had suffered in the battle with Li Tao had yet to fully heal. He had only recovered a portion of his strength.

Li Tao’s strength was far above his, and he used a secret technique to stimulate his life potential. Now, being able to stand and speak was already a sign of his profound skill.

“That’s right, there hasn’t been any news from Tianhe. I’m guessing they’re trying to keep it a secret. That Mr. Chu probably wants to keep the flood dragon spirit for himself, so it’s most likely that Tuoshan leaked the news,” Zhou Buyi said directly.

After the news spread, he immediately sent people to investigate. However, the result of the investigation was that all the information came from Tuoshan, and Tuoshan’s purpose was obvious. They wanted to stir up the muddy water so that Tianhe could not get the flood dragon spirit.

The thought of it made him boil with anger. Tuoshan had ruined his plans time and time again. If it weren’t for them, he would have taken control of the mine long ago and there wouldn’t have been such a mess.

“I don’t care who spread the news. I only see the news being leaked!” the first elder said coldly, “That flood dragon spirit is what my big brother wants. It’s related to the great undertaking of my family. You should know what will happen if we lose it.”

The first elder’s eyes were cold, and Xu Long and Zhou Buyi shivered. The real scary thing was the person behind the first elder.

It was the behemoth known as the Holy Land’s number one family. Such a behemoth was not something they could provoke. They could even be crushed to death with a finger. No one knew that Taining had been able to sit firmly at the top of the nearby cities all these years because they had the support of a colossus like the Wei clan.

If it wasn’t for this, their Taining wouldn’t have developed so quickly.

However, the Wei clan’s support came with a price. Previously, the clan had sent people to forcibly revive the flood dragon spirit. They thought that it was foolproof, but who knew that they would lose control of the mine.

All his plans had been disrupted.

The first elder’s face showed a hint of anger. He had to speed up the operation. Otherwise, when more and more forces heard the news and took action, even the Wei clan would not be able to withstand the wolves.

The Wei clan was determined to get the flood dragon spirit. It was of great importance.
