When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the council hall, he saw that it was full of people. After looking around, Liu Xiaoyuan realized that he didn't recognize many of them.
After seeing Liu Xiaoyuan, these people all looked at him as if he were the leader of the Alchemy Guild.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, can you tell us what the Crimson Purgatory is all about?" A middle-aged man sitting in the head seat asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the man; he must be the leader of the Alchemy Guild.
"No problem, I'll tell you the truth right away!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "After I arrived at the Crimson Purgatory, Lu Yifeng colluded with the other disciples of the Alchemy Guild to ostracize me, not letting me stay with them, and kicked me out. I felt so helpless and reluctant at the time..."
“I’m asking you, why did Lu Yifeng collude with others to drive you away?” one of the alchemists asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "This is not a simple matter. At the last alchemy competition, I took Lu Yifeng's championship title. Lu Yifeng naturally holds a grudge against me, which is why he is targeting me like this."
After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's explanation, the alchemists present were not fools; Liu Xiaoyuan's explanation was reasonable!
"Go on," the leader of the Alchemy Guild gestured, signaling Liu Xiaoyuan to continue.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "After we parted ways, I accidentally saved Gu Yuxi from Bihai Pavilion, the so-called third-ranked Golden Core expert. After I saved her life, I stayed with her."
Upon hearing this, another alchemist raised a question: Gu Yuxi, ranked third among Golden Core experts, would ask you to rescue her? It's simply a huge joke.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Liu Xiaoyuan did not refute them, but went outside and found a small tree branch.
Seeing this, everyone was confused about what Liu Xiaoyuan was up to.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, we're here to ask you to explain, not to waste our time on you."
"Yes, if you can't explain it clearly, we have reason to suspect that you were the one who killed Lu Yifeng and the others in the Crimson Purgatory!"
Several alchemists were very unhappy with Liu Xiaoyuan because he had refused the invitation from the Alchemy Guild, which infuriated them.
Master Shao had secured the spot for Liu Xiaoyuan to go to the Crimson Purgatory.
Upon hearing everyone's words, Master Shao immediately said, "Everyone, let's be patient and see what Xiao Yuan has to say. Don't rush us."
Upon hearing Master Shao's words, one of the alchemists immediately began to criticize him, saying, "Master Shao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you've been too good to Liu Xiaoyuan, which has led him to completely disregard our Alchemy Guild."
"That's right, this kid treats our Alchemy Guild like his own home, he has absolutely no manners!"
"Alright, everyone, stop talking! Be quiet! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!" The leader of the Alchemy Guild couldn't stand the noise any longer and directly stopped them.
With the boss speaking, everyone immediately fell silent, waiting to see what tricks Liu Xiaoyuan would pull.
Liu Xiaoyuan placed the branch on a stone block and then exerted force on the tip of the branch. As Liu Xiaoyuan pressed down with his fingers, the tip of the branch immediately bent down.
Upon seeing this scene, some people already understood what was going on, while some alchemists were still completely baffled.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan spoke up, "Everyone, if I keep using this amount of force, do you think this branch will break?"
Everyone wasn't stupid; they thought, "With you using so much strength, of course the branch won't break!"
Although no one spoke, their silence spoke volumes.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "If I put a little more force into it now, this branch will break off!" As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly increased the force in his hand, and then with a snap, the branch broke in two.
Upon seeing this, even the most clueless person would know what Liu Xiaoyuan was trying to say.
Those who had questioned Liu Xiaoyuan were immediately humiliated, as if they had been slapped in the face by him.
Liu Xiaoyuan directly used this example, which is very simple: this is the last straw that broke the camel's back!
"Then how did you get out of the Crimson Purgatory?" Now that these questions have been answered, the one they are most concerned about is how Liu Xiaoyuan got out of the Crimson Purgatory.
Liu Xiaoyuan had already prepared his answer to this question, just as he had said at Bihai Pavilion, because he believed that the Alchemy Guild might send someone to Bihai Pavilion to verify the matter.
"This matter is rather unbelievable, please allow me to explain it slowly!" Liu Xiaoyuan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought to themselves, "Let's see what you have to say!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I presume all of you alchemists already know that a manor has appeared in the Crimson Purgatory this time, right?"
After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's question, everyone nodded. They had already heard about this from others, and those people's cultivation levels had also declined after leaving the manor.
Liu Xiaoyuan continued, "Actually, this manor is a magical artifact, and the man trapped inside it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who lured everyone into a nightmare, causing them all to die within it..."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone present found it unbelievable. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator have entered the Blood Purgatory?
"Liu Xiaoyuan, do you think we'll believe your nonsense?" one of the alchemists asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I can't help it if you don't believe me, because what I'm saying is the truth. Oh, by the way, Gu Yuxi and I were sent out of the Crimson Purgatory by this magic weapon, and then this magic weapon mysteriously disappeared."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone present once again showed expressions of surprise. What a joke! A magic weapon can disregard the rules of the Crimson Purgatory?
Seeing the disbelieving looks on everyone's faces, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I knew you wouldn't believe what I said, but it's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Gu Yuxi of Bihai Pavilion. She wouldn't lie to you, would she?"
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone felt that he made sense. To get to the bottom of this matter, they really needed to ask Gu Yuxi of Bihai Pavilion.
The elder of the Alchemy Guild said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you stay in the Alchemy Guild until this matter is clarified. I will send someone to Bihai Pavilion to find out the truth."
Upon hearing that the people from the Alchemy Guild were going to the Azure Sea Pavilion, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately remembered the system's quest and said, "How about this, I'll go with you!"
