Peerless God Emperor

This was the first time they had seen the Honorable Elder so angry. They did not know who was so bold as to provoke the Alchemy Hall and steal the treasures right in front of their eyes.    

"From today onwards, increase your defense on the Alchemy Hall to prevent anyone from stealing the treasures again." The purple-robed elder spoke once more, his voice carrying a sense of majesty.    

After speaking, his body started to distort as a powerful Spatial Light was released, enveloping his body within. The space around him seemed to have been broken through as he stepped out, disappearing completely.    

Early the next morning, an earth-shattering piece of news spread across the entire Taixuan City. Two people had stolen away one of the Four great power s' treasures.    

When that news was known, it caused a huge commotion. Countless people's hearts trembled, and they did not dare to believe that it was true.    

Not to mention that the experts that the Alchemy Hall s were guarding in the dark were extremely powerful, even the public Black Dragon Guards were all Yuanfu Stage Cultivator s, they could be said to be extremely tightly guarded, and they all knew, if they wanted to steal the treasures, they had to go through the hands of a maid, and those maids had been groomed by the Alchemy Hall for many years, so they would not easily listen to others.    

However, a voice came from the Alchemy Hall, locking down the entire city, vowing to capture the two of them.    

Without a doubt, this was Alchemy Hall's powerful counterattack. It was only now that the crowd finally realized that the news was true.    

...    

The Alchemy Hall had an extremely strict hierarchy. The highest ruler was the Hall Master, and the ones controlling the entire Alchemy Hall, and the ones controlling the position, were the 12 elders, who were in charge of all aspects of the Alchemy Hall, possessing an extraordinary status.    

At this time, at the top floor of Alchemy Hall, in a magnificent palace, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.    

Twelve figures stood side by side, each of them faintly emitting a terrifying aura. They were all at the peak of the Elemental King Realm, and any one of them was enough to dominate a region and receive the respect of tens of thousands of people.    

However, what was even more shocking was that these twelve contenders had incomparably respectful expressions on their faces. They only stood there quietly, with traces of reverence flickering in their eyes.    

"What magic treasure was it that was lost last night?" At the very top of the hall, a middle-aged man in a purple and gold robe spoke with a calm voice that made it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.    

The middle-aged man's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted to every corner of the great hall. Even though it was just a casual sentence, it carried the majesty of the Emperor, trembling the soul of anyone who heard it, as if it could affect the will of others.    

This middle-aged man was actually the supreme ruler of the Alchemy Hall, one of the few great leaders of the Taixuan City, Siwu.    

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. The purple-robed elder stood out and cupped his fists: "Reporting to Hall Master, only the Gilded Hammer of Eight Treasures have been lost."    

"Gilded Hammer of Eight Treasures?" A trace of change appeared in Si Nan's unperturbed eyes, as if he was somewhat surprised.    

A look of reminiscence appeared on Siwu's face, and he said slowly: "The Gilded Hammer of Eight Treasures, forged by the ancestors of the Alchemy Hall, was originally this spirit weapon, but due to some accidents, it became a magic tool. Could it be that the two of them knew about this, so they chose this magic treasure?"    

"I think the Hall Master is overthinking it. The Gilded Hammer of Eight Treasures has been lost for a long time in the continent, and the last time they appeared was a thousand years ago. These two people only have Yuanfu Stage, so they shouldn't know about this secret." The purple-robed elder voiced out his thoughts.    

Moreover, there are a lot of spirit weapon in the treasury, but they did not steal them. Obviously, it's just because the Gilded Hammer of Eight Treasures are more useful to them. " The purple-robed elder added.    

After Si Wu heard the old man's explanation, he slightly nodded his head and turned his gaze to the other old man, "Elder Hou, this time the Black Dragon Guards failed their duty, do you have anything to say?"    

The purple-robed old man was one of the 12 elders, his name was Ji Feng, and he was extremely powerful. Even among the 12 elders, he was one of the top 3 elders and was responsible for the safety of the treasures in the treasury.    

As for the Elder Hou that Si Wu spoke of, he was another revered elder called Hou Fan. He was the person in charge of all the Black Dragon Guards in the Alchemy Hall and his position was not one bit inferior to Ji Feng.    

Hou Fan's expression changed slightly. He took a step forward and cupped his fists towards Si Wu as he said, "Hall Master, I am responsible for this matter and did not properly discipline my subordinates. However, Elder Ji might not be able to escape responsibility, after all, the treasure was lost in the treasury.    

Ji Feng's expression stiffened when he heard this. He did not expect this old man to pull him into the water. His expression darkened as he said, "What? Brother Hou wants to escape? If not for the death of one of your subordinates, how would those two be able to enter the treasury?"    

"I have just admitted that I have failed in my duties in this matter. However, you are not at liberty to erase your dereliction of duty." Hou Fan's expression did not change, not even the slightest bit of anger from Ji Feng's words, appearing extremely shrewd.    

"Enough." Si Wu waved his hand and said impatiently, "No need to argue anymore. If it's an argument, all of you should be punished. Elder Hou and Elder Ji, you two must take responsibility for this. You must bring those two back."    

Seeing that Si Wu had spoken, Hou Fan and Ji Feng did not continue arguing. They looked at each other and both could see the discontent in the other's eyes.    

"After being silent for so many years, I'm afraid that some people have already become restless. It's time to do something."    

Suddenly, Si Wu's body bloomed with a bright light. A wave that could transcend all boundaries swept out. His body instantly disappeared, leaving behind only that voice, which continued to reverberate in the hall.    

As the news of the Alchemy Hall's treasure being stolen spread rapidly, the voice that came from the Alchemy Hall was also gradually known by many people. This time, the entire Sun City was in an uproar!    

Not only the common folk, but also some of the people who came to visit Sun City, and even the tyrants of the other three regions also voiced out that they wanted to help the Alchemy Hall catch these two.    

Even the Taixuan City, the one and only colossus in the world, had some moves. Some people had seen many Rankers walking out of the Sunnyside Cult to ask them about what had happened last night while others had announced it to preserve the order of the Taixuan City.    

Many forces had responded to the Alchemy Hall, sending many experts out to stir up trouble. Whether it was to help the Alchemy Hall or for some other purpose, no one knew.    

One thing they could be sure of was that at that instant, there were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, attentively watching everything. However, in the end, their gazes were not on the two who stole the treasures, but on the eyes who were also in the darkness.    

Stealing the treasures seemed to be just a primer, leading to a chess game. The controllers of many powers were chess players, who fought against each other, although there was no earth-shattering battle, it was even more thrilling. The outcome of the chess game could very likely determine the future situation of Taixuan City.    

Taixuan City seemed to have entered into a turbulent period, it was extremely chaotic, a powerful aura would frequently wreak havoc in the sky, filled with a somber killing intent. Not only that, the space tunnel was temporarily sealed, the orders were issued from the Sunnyside Cult, no one was allowed to leave.    

The actions of the Sunnyside Cult angered many outsiders. Originally, they had only come to the Taixuan City because of the space tunnel, but now that the tunnels were sealed and they could not go to other cities, they were naturally extremely displeased. However, due to the majesty of the Sunnyside Cult, they could only suppress their anger and not say a thing.    

In an inn beside the space tunnel, business was bustling with excitement today. There were no empty seats and it was bustling with noise and excitement. The space tunnel was sealed off, so the outsiders could only stay in the inn.    

Qin Xuan and Mu Ye were also in the tavern. They sat at a table near the edge, and didn't attract anyone's attention. They seemed like normal customers, because the space tunnel was sealed up and they had come here.    

"Brother Qin, looks like the matter has blown up." Mu Ye said with a wry smile, he had never done something so sensational before, to actually shock an entire city, and many strong warriors had all moved, just to capture him and Qin Xuan, it was simply soul-stirring.    

A hint of doubt flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes, and he said: "I find it a bit strange, but it's just a lost treasure, it shouldn't have caused such a commotion."    

Just at this moment, the Waiter of the inn walked over. Hearing Qin Xuan and Mu Ye's conversation, his face revealed a meaningful look, and he said: "The two of you do not know, if it was only because of the loss of one treasure, it would indeed not cause such a commotion, but right now is a special period.    

"Special period?" Qin Xuan suddenly became interested, what did the so-called special period mean?    

Mu Ye also quietened down, and looked at the Waiter in the inn. He was extremely curious in his heart, just what could cause so many powers to tremble?    

The inn's Waiter looked at Qin Xuan and Mu Ye, and laughed: "Sir, the two of you should be preparing to board the space tunnel, and head to Snowfall City, right?"    

"Exactly." Qin Xuan nodded his head, his expression appearing very natural, and not too surprised. Snowfall Grand Meeting's name was known around the world, and the date was approaching. Many young talents were about to go, so it was not difficult to guess what it was.    

"The two of you, ask me about the meaning of the special period. The Snowfall Grand Meeting's gathering is the arrival of the special period." The Waiter's words carried a deeper meaning, as if there was a hidden meaning within them, but he did not easily reveal it.    

"Can you tell me more about it?" The Waiter in the inn obviously knew something. From his words, the Snowfall Grand Meeting was not an ordinary gathering, but it seemed to have some sort of special meaning, and it could even affect the structure and power of Sun City.    

"This year's grand gathering will be the birth of the son of Northern Dipper."    

The Waiter in the inn slowly spoke, his eyes flashing with a dazzling light. His eyes became extremely bright, and although he looked very ordinary, he gave off a faint feeling that he was not ordinary.
