The alchemist profession still has a very positive image in Saint Brand and even throughout the continent.
After all, they are all highly educated intellectuals, and the things they study are lofty and profound matters such as the origin of the world. Of course, there are very few criminals among them.
It's not because they're all good people, but because it makes me feel inferior.
Alchemists like Fast who helped Huggins expand his power were already despicable, so those who committed crimes were even more contemptible.
Not to mention that the alchemist hiding behind this monster seems to be collecting blood to perform human alchemy.
Human alchemy has always been a forbidden subject for alchemists; it is not something that just anyone can study.
Because all forms of human alchemy are inherently immoral, they must be approached with extreme caution.
Any project involving human alchemy must be reported to the Alchemist Guild and approved by the council, and the human parts obtained must be recognized by the Imperial government.
For example, some death row inmates are handed over to the Alchemist Guild for disposal after or before their death.
The guy behind this is killing innocent people indiscriminately. If it's really for human alchemy, then there's a big problem.
Morton solemnly took out a handful of powder and sprinkled it on the monster, saying in a deep voice, "Let it go. It will fly back to its master."
After being sprinkled with the powder, the monster quieted down.
After Yang Cheng released it, the monster flapped its bat wings and its body completely merged into the darkness, flying away into the distance.
Yang Cheng and Morton immediately hung behind the monster.
The monster flew silently through the sky, making absolutely no sound.
Furthermore, its bat wings can blend into the night, so you won't notice it even if it flies overhead for a moment.
As Master Morton chased after it, he said, "Alchemical beasts also have different factions. This thing is so strange, it seems to be born for blood-sucking and assassination. It doesn't feel like something we Alchemists' Guild would do."
The two chased the monster all the way to an abandoned factory, where it went straight into a room.
Inside the room, a mage dressed in black robes was controlling an identical monster, drawing blood from its mouthparts.
While bleeding, the container must be sterilized and then placed in a special box for refrigeration.
"What a hassle! It's just collecting the blood of some ordinary people, yet they're making such a big deal out of it. When I collected the blood of monsters back in the day, I wasn't this meticulous. I just filled a water jug with it."
The black-robed mage carefully worked on it while complaining.
Seeing the monster fly in, he looked at its shriveled belly in surprise: "Huh, why did my little darling fail today? It didn't even suck a single person's blood?"
"Your little darling will never have the chance to suck blood again."
Yang Cheng suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed mage, grabbed him by the neck, and slammed him against the wall.
The black-robed mage had initially intended to resist, but the black mist around him, which had just surged for a fleeting moment, vanished instantly upon seeing Yang Cheng's face.
"Lord Yang... Lord Yang!"
Yang Cheng frowned slightly: "You recognize me?"
The black-robed mage smiled obsequiously and said, "I am a member of the Dark Magic Council of the Underworld. I have personally witnessed your heroic feat in battle against our Speaker."
"I didn't know the western part of St. Brand was your territory. Don't worry, I'll leave now and definitely won't cause any trouble on your turf."
Master Morton roared from behind, "You want to go to other districts to kill people? Nobody's territory is allowed!"
The black-robed mage shrank back, looking at Yang Cheng with fear.
The man before us is a legendary figure in the dungeon. In order to find one person, he fought his way through half of the dungeon, defeating the King of the East District, 'Black Devil' Noynes, and the King of the West District, 'Demigod' Wood. It is said that he even killed a god who had descended!
Compared to the person in front of him, he was nothing more than an ant, and he couldn't even muster the will to resist.
Yang Cheng said coldly, "What was the purpose of killing these people and collecting their blood?"
The black-robed mage said cautiously, "It wasn't my intention to kill him, but Speaker Noynes ordered me to do so."
Actually, we don't want to do anything on Earth. It would be very dangerous if we were targeted by the Night's Watch or other official superhumans.
Yang Cheng and Morton exchanged a glance; neither of them had expected the matter to revert to the underground city.
However, Yang Cheng had already swept through the dungeon once, so he didn't mind doing it a second time.
“Come back to the dungeon with us, I’ll go ask Noynes.”
Although there are many criminals in the underground city, the fact that they have all gone there proves that they could no longer survive in Saint Brand on the surface, which is why they came to the underground city.
So it's quite rare for guys who escaped from the dungeon to cause trouble in St. Brand.
Returning to the dungeon, it remained as dirty and chaotic as ever.
When Yang Cheng brought the black-robed mage to the Black Magic Council, Noynes's expression changed drastically in fright.
What is this jinx doing here again?
Yang Cheng is an incredibly powerful freak; I'm no match for him at all. In fact, not only am I no match for him, but even the superhumans in the entire underground city might not be his match.
Wood had forced back a god who was being suppressed beneath his palace, which shows just how strong this guy was. Noynes didn't want to fight such a freak again.
So as soon as he received the news, Noynes came out to greet him personally.
"Mr. Yang, what has my subordinate done to offend you? Tell me, and I will punish him personally! Whether you want him dead or tortured, Mr. Yang, just say the word!"
