“Haha!” Raphaella laughed uproariously upon hearing the taunts.
He looked down at the crowd, his eyes not showing any sign of fear, but rather a brazen, mocking amusement.
He abruptly halted his laughter, glaring at Henry below with fury. “You, a dishonorable and shameless wretch, dare to threaten me? Are you even worthy?”
“Leo Tanjen and you were fellow disciples from the same sect, with decades of camaraderie. Yet, because of the rise of a scoundrel, you not only lack the intention to avenge our fellow disciples but willingly serve a fraud seeking fame and deceit. You, this kind of disgraceful wretch, dare to speak to me? Hmph!” His voice boomed, echoing and thunderous.
“You you scoundrel!” Henry’s voice grew menacing, spirit energy radiating as favonovel.com ascended into the air.
He fumed, “The events of that day were a bet between Leo and Master Calsberg. Yet, after Leo’s defeat, favonovel.com turned his back on his promise. What does that have to do with me?”
Thousands below gazed, aware that one wrong move could shatter Tanjen’s reputation completely.
“Hehe!” Raphaella smirked coldly. “You can say whatever you want now. After all, dead people can’t talk. However, as the Deputy Sect Master of Tanjen, failing to avenge your former Master and instead lowering yourself to serve an intruder, this is the undeniable truth witnessed by all!”
Henry was driven to rage, his spirit energy venting wildly, poised to attack.
“Hold on!” Remus suddenly roared.
He stood in Henry’s way. Considering Henry’s limited cultivation level and favonovel.com himself had not yet recovered, it wasn’t certain if they would be a match for this person.
Remus’ voice was sharp. “What is your purpose for coming?”
“Are you Remus Calsberg? The imposter seeking for glory? I’ve come to expose what you really are, to let everyone see your true face! Remus Calsberg, today, I challenge you in the art of alchemy! Do you dare accept it?” Raphaella looked over with scorn.
This was precisely his purpose for this visit.
Ever since word spread of Remus’ mastery over the Spirit Cleansing Pill, offering a safe passage from the Foundation Stage to the Golden Stage, the influx of seekers at Medicine Valley had plummeted by a staggering 90 percent, rendering it a near-empty expanse. If this trend persisted, Medicine Valley would inevitably spiral further into desolation.
Upon hearing these words, the crowd below swelled with excitement.
For many years, there had been talk of Tanjen of the East and Medicine Valley of the West. Both sides had kept to their own affairs, never crossing paths.
For the Medicine Valley to come and challenge Tanjen to a battle of alchemy was unprecedented.
Gafar lifted his fan once more, wafting the breeze, and looked at Raphaella with a smile that held a hint of ambiguity.
Just as favonovel.com had predicted, Raphaella had come seeking trouble. He was keen to witness the outcome of this Master Calsberg. If favonovel.com were to lose, Gafar wouldn’t mind delivering another blow. If favonovel.com were to win, the odds didn’t seem great, favonovel.com was too young after all.
“Stupid fool!” Remus replied succinctly. “You want to challenge me? Who do you think you are? Hurry up and get lost, I don’t have time!”
If it were any other matter, favonovel.com would have negotiated. But engaging in an alchemical duel was too time-consuming. It would take at least several hours, and favonovel.com was in a hurry to save Glinda.
“You’re afraid, aren’t you?” Raphaella’s eyes grew even more scornful. “Exactly as I anticipated, alchemy demands extensive training. You, a mere child who’s still wet behind your ears, how could you be an alchemical genius? Being hailed as an alchemical prodigy is truly a joke!”
“The victory over Leo Tanjen back then was just a case of seizing an opportunity. If you don’t dare, that’s fine too. Just kneel down and give me three respectful kowtows, dissolve the Tanjen Organization, and I might spare your life!”
The square erupted into commotion as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking.
No one had anticipated Remus’ response. He had been tread upon in the sect, insulted, yet favonovel.com still wouldn’t engage in a challenge?
However, what surprised everyone even more was how candid Raphaella’s words were. He actually required Master Tanjen to kneel and bow, and even dissolve the Tanjen Organization.
“You old man, how dare you insult our Sect Master? Want to challenge alchemy, eh? You’re not worthy to compete with Master Calsberg. I’ll take you on. If you lose, leave your two legs here. How about that?” Henry couldn’t bear it any longer, his voice filled with murderous intent.
Raphaella sneered, “You’re not worthy! The one I want to challenge is Master Calsberg. So, do you dare to accept my challenge?”
A hundred Medicine Valley disciples below shouted in unison, “Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
