The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 991

Chapter 991: Chapter 990: The VIP Chapter 991: Chapter 990: The VIP These figures, able to sit atop this array platform to watch the battle, obviously possessed sufficient status.

Ye Mengxian was among them, clad in a black long gown that outlined her slender figure, revealing endless grace and peerless beauty, drawing the attention of many onlookers to her.

With the identity of Elder Tiankui's granddaughter, Ye Mengxian naturally had the qualification to sit on that array platform, and people were also pleased to see a beautiful woman there, finding it a pleasure for the eyes.

Besides Ye Mengxian, there were several other individuals, all of possessing extraordinary status.

A burly middle-aged man, with an ordinary face and somewhat dark complexion, radiated an imposing presence without showing anger.

“Who is this hefty black man?” someone within Sea Moon City asked those nearby, not recognizing the middle-aged man.

The person next to him said, “You actually don't know him? This is none other than Meng Haiwen, an elder from the Essence Sword Sect of Qing Nation's Four Great Sects.”

Upon hearing this, the questioner's face showed surprise, and he nodded continuously to show that he understood.

Qing Nation was a country where the royal family wielded strong power, the royal family overshadowing all, and if other sect forces chose not to align with the royal family, they could not establish themselves within Qing Nation; they would be suppressed by the royal family at every turn, and could even be exterminated.

In such circumstances, there were very few sects within Qing Nation, with only the Four Great Sects being noteworthy.

These Four Great Sects all depended on the support of the royal family to grow strong and prosper.

Among them, Mystic Sect, which had a minor grudge with Fang Lin, was also one of the Four Great Sects, and among them, Mystic Sect had the closest relationship with the Qing Nation royal family.

As for Fengxia Mountain, it was originally an inconspicuous sect force, but over three hundred years ago, they discovered a Phoenix Blood Stone mine within their domain.

Although the Phoenix Blood Stone was not truly imbued with Phoenix Blood, it was one of the essential materials for forging Divine Weapons, and there was a great demand from various powers.

Given the importance of such a Phoenix Blood Stone mine, the Qing Nation royal family naturally could not allow it to fall into others' hands, and thus sent people to suppress Fengxia Mountain.

The Master of Fengxia Mountain, however, was a man who knew the times and, although they had not provoked the Qing royal family, the mine meant that the royal family would definitely make a move against them.

Therefore, after Qing Nation sent people to suppress Fengxia Mountain, the Master led all his elders and disciples to submit to the Qing royal family, stating their willingness to forever be a vassal to the royal family and to mine Phoenix Blood Stone for them.

As a result, Fengxia Mountain became a vassal to the royal family, not only preserving their legacy but also receiving the support of the royalty, gradually becoming prosperous and powerful, and in just a century, they rose to be one of the Four Great Sects of Qing Nation.

Because Fengxia Mountain was relatively close to Sea Moon City, they sent an elder to observe the battle.

After Meng Haiwen took his seat, he glanced at Ye Mengxian beside him, a trace of greed flashing in the depths of his eyes, but he concealed it well.

On the other side of Ye Mengxian was a seemingly inconspicuous old man dressed in coarse hemp clothes, with sparse hair and looking as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

However, both Ye Mengxian and Meng Haiwen from Fengxia Mountain gave a slight bow to the old man before taking their seats, maintaining respect for him.

“Who is this old man? He seems to have quite a status,” some young people revealed a puzzled look, not recognizing the hemp-clothed elder.

Some of the older Martial Artists said, “He's a big shot, the Pingbei King of Tang Country's royalty!”

“What? This old man is the famous Pingbei King of Tang Country?” someone exclaimed in surprise, appearing very shocked.

As the old man's identity was revealed, many in Sea Moon City looked towards him, with nearly everyone's face showing a look of shock.

The Pingbei King of Tang Country, now that's a real person of status, holding a much higher position than Meng Haiwen from Fengxia Mountain.

Truly, when it comes to status, Meng Haiwen, the elder of Fengxia Mountain, simply doesn't have the qualifications to sit together with the Pingbei King of Tang Country.

There are many princes in Tang Country, all of whom possess formidable martial prowess, but among them, only a few are famous, with the Pingbei King being one of them.

Outside the northern border of Tang Country lies a land teeming with demon beasts, known as the Ten Thousand Demon Plains, a place of great terror.

Because the Ten Thousand Demon Plains border the northern frontier of Tang Country, they naturally become an extremely sensitive area, with demon beasts often assaulting the northern borders of Tang Country.

Due to the sheer number of demon beasts on the Ten Thousand Demon Plains, among which are many extremely powerful creatures, the northern borders of Tang Country suffer greatly, their plight indescribable.

This situation continued until it changed over the past hundred years or so.

And the reason for the change was none other than the Pingbei King of Tang Country, with his illustrious military accomplishments.

Being granted the title of Pingbei King by the Tang Emperor, one can imagine the immense contributions this elder has made to Tang Country's northern borders.

It's said that on the first day of quelling the chaos in the north, the Pingbei King slew tens of thousands of demon beasts, causing an unmatched panic on the Ten Thousand Demon Plains, yet it also drew out several extremely powerful demon beasts.

The Pingbei King, alone, fought a bloody battle against a horde of demons, eventually slaying eighteen Demon Kings and grievously injuring a Giant Demon King with Six Transformations, thereby deterring the creatures of the Ten Thousand Demon Plains.

The northern frontiers found peace, and the hordes of the Ten Thousand Demon Plains were intimidated by the majesty of the Pingbei King, not daring to assault the borders of Tang Country again.

Many didn't expect that the Pingbei King of Tang Country would actually come to Sea Moon City.

However, some found it strange; according to rumors, the Pingbei King, despite his age, should still be a formidable figure, whose imposing presence trembles all directions. So why does he look like a sickly and groggy old man?

Apart from these three, there was another person, also appearing to be an elder. Yet compared to the Pingbei King of Tang Country, he was dressed much more splendidly.

This elder had a grand stature, wearing a golden robe. Although advanced in age, his face was clean and tidy, looking somewhat distinguished.

What was peculiar was that embroidered on the golden robe this elder was wearing were several lifelike wolf patterns.

Adorning one's robe with wolves is a custom unique to Yuan Country.

Qing Nation favors black python embroidery, Tang Country prefers elegant deer, but Yuan Country is fond of wolves.

This elder with wolf patterns on his robe was clearly from Yuan Country, a person of high status there.

“This is Elder Tuoba Lie from the Essence Sword Sect of Yuan Country,” someone identified the identity of the elder in the wolf robe.

The imperial family of Yuan Country bears the surname Tuoba. This elder was not only a member of the Tuoba royal family but was also an elder of the Essence Sword Sect.

Fang Lin had previously encountered a formidable figure from the Essence Sword Sect in the Talent War and had a tough time defeating him.

A person from the Yuan Country imperial family, coupled with the identity of an Essence Sword Sect elder, naturally had the qualifications to sit there.

These four people were the honored guests observing the battle and were also responsible for overseeing the fairness of the Talent War in Sea Moon City.

“Is it finally about to start?” Many people waited in anticipation, their expressions excited.
