The young man with the severed tongue looked warily at the three people. Shen Dong was angry but did not leave.
“Hehe, since you won’t leave, stay and suffer with this mute.” The three youngsters snarled, cracking their knuckles in readiness to start.
Wang Dalong and the others were not far away, watching this scene, but hesitated to make a move.
Shen Dong clenched his teeth and suddenly leaped forward, rushing at one of the men.
“Seeking death!” One of the three, noticeably stronger than Shen Dong, sneered and kicked Shen Dong brutally, causing him to fall to the ground.
Shen Dong clenched his stomach in pain as the mute young man glared furiously at the three men.
“What are you looking at? You deserve having your tongue cut out, you stupid mute!” The three men laughed derisively.
Just then, the young mute’s eyes widened, and he smiled gleefully.
“What are you so happy about?” Fang Lin suddenly appeared behind the three men, curiously asking.
“We’re laughing at this stupid mute…” Before they could finish, their laughter froze.
Fang Lin smiled, walking up to the three men, asking, “Who are you calling a stupid mute?”
The three men looked at Fang Lin in fear, not daring to respond. They were confused about how they had provoked him.
“Brother Fang, they’re all from the Martial Sect. They’ve been bullying us.” Seeing Fang Lin appear, Shen Dong exhaled in relief, holding his stomach as he spoke.
On hearing this, Fang Lin nodded, looking at the three young men from the Martial Sect with a smirk.
The three of them started to tremble. They hadn’t expected that Shen Dong and the mute knew Fang Lin.
If they had known, they wouldn’t have run over to bring trouble upon themselves.
“Brother Fang, we’re leaving. We’re leaving now.” The three men hurriedly said, trying to leave quickly.
“Did I let you leave?” Fang Lin said lazily. However, his words acted like a spell, stopping the three men from leaving.
“Brother Fang, we were wrong. Please let us go.” Understanding that Fang Lin intended to take revenge for Shen Dong, the three men immediately begged for mercy.
Fang Lin smiled, walking up to them. They stepped back in fear.
“I’m a lazy person and don’t like to lift my hand easily. This time, I won’t beat you guys,” Fang Lin said with a light smile.
On hearing this, the three men heaved a sigh of relief and kept thanking Fang Lin for his magnanimity.
However, as they were about to leave, Fang Lin reached into his Nine Palace Bag, shouting, “I have a bottle of Nurturing Breath Pill here. Whoever helps me beat up these three guys, I’ll give this bottle of Nurturing Breath Pill to them.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three men drastically changed. Looking around, everybody else’s faces lit up with excitement.
“Nurturing Breath Pill? That’s a good thing!”
“Nobody better compete with me, I want to beat these three bastards to a pulp!”
“The Nurturing Breath Pill is mine! Get out of the way!”
A large crowd started pouncing on the three disciples from the Martial Sect. In the end, the three men’s desperate expressions could be seen before they were swallowed up in the sea of people, followed by pitiful cries for help.
Fang Lin was still smiling while Shen Dong and the mute, seeing the three Martial Sect disciples being beaten, felt their grievances dissipate. Compared to the plight of the three men, what they suffered was nothing.
Fang QingShui and the others watched this farcical scene, their mouths twitching at the sight of Fang Lin, an extraordinary man indeed.
After a while, the crowd dispersed. Many people were watching Fang Lin, specifically the bottle of elixir in his hand.
Fang Lin glanced at the bottle and burst into laughter.
The three Martial Sect disciples were lying on the ground like mud, gasping for breath. If the attackers hadn’t been exercising restraint, the three of them would have been beaten to death already.
Even so, with their injuries, it was estimated that they wouldn’t be able to get up for a month.
Eventually, two people who had hit the hardest were given the bottle of elixir by Fang Lin. The others weren’t left empty-handed, they each received a Nurturing Breath Pill for their efforts.
The day passed filled with eventful moments.
“It’s about time.” Fang QingShui and the others opened their eyes, nodding before heading to the passage from where they came.
Seeing this, the others also stood up, ready to return to the stone chamber.
“Brother Fang, let’s return as well. If we stay here past time, the formation in the cave will transport us back, and we’ll miss the next chance to be let out, ‘ Shen Dong advised Fang Lin.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin nodded and leisurely walked towards the stone chamber.
Back in the stone chamber, Wang Dalong and others showed Fang Lin immense respect and almost knelt down to call him Grandpa Fang.
However, Fang Lin found the life in the Demon Suppressing Cave rather unexciting, preferring the outside world instead.
On second thought, he only had to stay for a month whereas Wang Dalong and the others probably had to stay for several more years.
Having thought this, Fang Lin felt at ease and almost laughed out loud.
Meanwhile, things were not peaceful at the Pill Sect in the outside world.
In the great hall of the Pill Sect, numerous elders including Gu Daofeng, looked quite solemn.
“Headmaster, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect’s challenge is insidious. We shouldn’t bother,” an elder said, stepping forward.
However, his words sparked disdain among most of the elders. His face reddened, and he stepped back in silence.
“If the Pill Sect ignores the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect’s challenge, we will become a laughingstock in the entire Qian Country. This time, the Pill Sect must not retreat,” Yan Zhengfeng asserted fervently.
His words resonated with the audience present.
“Elder Yan is right. The Pill Sect may accept defeat but not humiliation. We must fight!”
“What are we scared of? They think they can look down on us?”
“We must fight! No retreat!”
The elders were raring for battle, though some wore a worried expression, including Gu Daofeng.
“Everyone, we must fight, but the key is, how can the Pill Sect win the battle?” Gu Daofeng chimed in.
The hall fell silent again since everybody knew that the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was the top alchemy sect in Qian Country. Even the royal family sought their guidance in alchemy.
The Pill Sect, despite its long history, was only second or third-best in Qian Country in terms of alchemy.
The Ten-thousand Medicine Sect had challenged the Pill Sect to three alchemy battles.
The Pill Sect could choose to evade, but doing so would damage its reputation.
Therefore, the Pill Sect had no choice but to accept the challenge.
But, facing the formidable Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, the odds of the Pill Sect’s victory were worrisome..
