Fu Nian was a fifth - rank alchemist.
Alchemists of this rank were quite rare in the Eastern Wilderness.
Moreover, as the chief disciple of the Sect Association, his status was even higher than that of other high - rank alchemists.
Over the years, Fu Nian had taken in many junior brothers and sisters. No matter how unruly they were, they would respectfully address him as “Senior Brother” when on this sacred altar.
It was basically unheard of for a young man like Zhao Huai to provoke him on his first day.
“Junior Brother may not be familiar with the rules of the Sect Association. Today, I'll teach you a lesson.”
Fu Nian's fingers constantly changed positions, forming a strange seal. When the seal was in Fu Nian's hand, it was in the shape of the Eight Trigrams. But when he released it, its form began to change.
The seal was like a huge net, rushing towards Zhao Huai.
Once this net made of the seal touched the enemy's skin, it would quickly shrink until it completely imprisoned the enemy.
If the master of the seal didn't control it at this time, the net could strangle a fourth - rank alchemist to death.
The Binding Silk Net was the name of this seal.
The net was getting closer and closer to Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai slightly squinted his beautiful fox - like eyes and began to defend. However, once the net accurately located the enemy, it would follow the enemy's movements. And since Fu Nian had activated the protective shield on the sacred altar, Zhao Huai had nowhere to hide.
Since he couldn't dodge, he might as well see how powerful this Binding Silk Net was.
As soon as Zhao Huai had this thought, his fast - moving body immediately stopped.
“Is that young man crazy?”
“Zhao Huai, run! Don't stop.”
“Senior Brother shouldn't go too far, right? This junior brother just arrived. If something happens and the guardians find out, we senior brothers and sisters will also be punished.”
“Senior Brother, stop!”
Fu Nian obviously didn't expect that Zhao Huai would suddenly stop. But if he stopped now, the face he had lost before would be even harder to regain. In the future, how could he, as the chief disciple, have any face in the Sect Association?
Thinking this way, instead of recalling the Binding Silk Net, Fu Nian wrapped Zhao Huai's whole body in it at a more ferocious speed.
When Zhao Huai gently touched the Binding Silk Net, he felt the suffocating feeling of being tightly strangled.
“Junior Brother, if you're willing to kneel down and admit your mistake, and kowtow three times and bow nine times, I'll let you out. How about it?”
Zhao Huai didn't say a word.
The Binding Silk Net tightened more and more.
However, Zhao Huai's breath remained steady. After feeling the stinging pain from the Binding Silk Net, instead of withdrawing his hand, he reached out again and again.
The pain also brought numbness.
The blood in Zhao Huai's body began to boil.
He forced himself to suppress it. Since the birthday banquet of his grandfather, Zhao Huai had shown a different form. From then on, he knew that he was different from others. The Emperor Venerable had also enlightened him before, so Zhao Huai knew that there was a completely different bloodline in his body.
As for what was so strange about this bloodline, he didn't know yet.
However, Zhao Huai thought that he should be the master of this body, rather than letting the ferocity in his blood dominate his will.
When the blood in his body was boiling and about to break free from the shackles.
Zhao Huai suddenly showed a relieved smile.
Then, he gently pointed at one of the knots. Instantly, the Binding Silk Net disappeared beside him.
“What's going on?”
“Senior Brother's Binding Silk Net?”
“How is that possible?”
The alchemists on the high platforms of different levels were all stunned. Just now, they didn't see clearly what had happened. Senior Brother's Binding Silk Net had actually been broken?
Where on earth did this young man come from?
You should know that even for Lan Anran, the most talented one in the Sect Association, Senior Brother's Binding Silk Net was quite troublesome. But this young man had broken this great formation with just one finger?
“What did you do?”
“Senior Brother, can I leave now?”
Zhao Huai gently smiled, still looking indifferent.
“How did you do it?”
But Zhao Huai ignored Fu Nian. He used the same finger to gently draw a line in the space around the sacred altar, and an exit appeared in the protective shield.
The young man leaped out of the exit and came to Kong Ye's side.
“Zhao Huai, you're amazing. Are all you Zhao family members so extraordinary?”
Zhao Huai glanced at Kong Ye but didn't say a word.
Kong Ye continued, “By the way, a few days ago, I received a letter from Xiao Shuang. It also mentioned your sister. Do you want to take a look?”
At this time, Zhao Huai had walked to the side of the venue.
Just when Kong Ye thought that Zhao Huai would ignore him again like before, Zhao Huai suddenly stopped.
Then he turned around and instantly came to Kong Ye's side.
“Give it to me?”
Kong Ye was still confused and asked, “What?”
Zhao Huai replied, “Can I take a look at that letter?”
“What?”
“If it's not convenient for me to read it, that's okay. Can you tell me what the letter said about my sister? Please.”
There was a glimmer of light in the young man's eyes.
For so long, it was the first time Kong Ye had seen the young man like this.
“Sure, of course you can.”
Then, Kong Ye took Zhao Huai to his residence, took out the letter from the box, and handed it to Zhao Huai.
The young man in white couldn't wait to unfold the envelope.
As he read, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
It turned out that the Emperor Venerable hadn't lied to him.
His sister was really alive.
Moreover, in the letter, Kong Ye's sister also mentioned that Xiao Ning'er's spiritual power had advanced rapidly. If she came to the capital, Chang'an, she hoped that Kong Ye would take good care of her.
Zhao Huai returned the letter to Kong Ye.
“Is your sister on good terms with Xiao Ning'er?”
Kong Ye said, “Pretty good. Why do you ask?”
“Will Xiao Ning'er come to Chang'an?”
“It seems so.”
Yes, she would. When they were young, his sister had told him that if one day she could become a high - rank spiritual pharmacist, she would definitely come to Chang'an. Moreover, his sister had also said that there were both friends and enemies in Chang'an.
Whether what his sister said was true or not, Zhao Huai thought that if his sister really came to Chang'an, he would wait for her there. After that, no matter what she wanted to do, he could stand in front of her and block the doubts.
The premise was that he was strong enough in Chang'an and had his own power.
“I'll take care of my own sister. Thank you, Kong Ye.”
In the future, Zhao Huai would probably be quite busy in Chang'an.
