The emperor's narrow eyes were full of vigilance, and his powerful mental power surged out like a tide, sweeping towards the woman in front of him.
However, he found that his mental power was like being thrown into a bottomless black hole, disappearing without a trace in an instant, and he was unable to find out her background at all.
This situation is extremely rare and there are usually only two possibilities.
First, this woman must have a magic weapon that can conceal her own cultivation level.
Secondly, it means that her strength far exceeds his own, so that his investigation is like an ant trying to shake a tree and is completely useless.
"I wonder where this girl comes from?" The emperor couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked first.
"Humph, why should I tell you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of blazing red flame suddenly burst out from Yan An's white jade-like palm, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding air to slightly distort.
"Is it a draw, or does Lu Jingzhi win?" Yan An stared at the emperor with her beautiful eyes and asked in a cold tone.
The eldest prince standing behind Yan An could no longer bear it and shouted, "I was the first one to refine the elixir, why can't I be judged as the first?"
"Giving you a draw is really unfair to me!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the emperor shouted, "Shut up!"
Then, the corners of the emperor's mouth lifted slightly, outlining a faint smile, "Although the quality of this little friend Lu's alchemy is slightly better, it takes too long."
"After comprehensive consideration, it is most appropriate and reasonable to call the game a draw."
Hearing this, Yan An couldn't help but sneer, his sarcasm evident in his words: "Haha, do you really think that this emperor is an amateur who knows nothing about alchemy?"
"You think you can fool me so easily? That's just wishful thinking!"
A terrifying pressure that could crush the heaven and earth poured down on him like a surging wave.
The emperor's face turned pale as paper in an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes widened in fear, his mouth slightly open but he couldn't utter a word.
This pressure was like an extremely heavy mountain, pressing down on him.
He couldn't straighten his back at all, and could only bend down with difficulty, his body shaking constantly.
At the same time, the guards of the Tianxin Empire took quick action.
They quickly surrounded Yan An and the others, forming an airtight encirclement.
Everyone had a serious and stern expression on their face, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, exuding a murderous aura.
"Surround me?"
Yan An stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the ground in the square cracked instantly, blowing all the guards away.
Some of them died, some were injured, and they lost their fighting power in an instant.
"How can I fool you?"
Yan An said this without changing his expression. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
"In alchemy competitions, the quality of the elixir is always prioritized. Only when the quality is the same will the time required to refine it be compared."
"May I ask... has your son ever managed to refine a top-grade elixir?"
Hearing this, the emperor's heart sank. Due to Yan An's strength, he could only nod and said, "Okay, then Lu Jingzhi will be first, and Tianwen will be second."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Lu family and the Alchemy Association sat back on the clouds, quietly waiting for the award ceremony to begin.
After such a farce, the originally relaxed, happy and harmonious atmosphere has long disappeared.
Instead, there was a depressing and dull atmosphere.
A group of staff members took out exquisite prizes one by one.
These prizes attracted countless people's attention.
In the VIP seats, the eldest prince leaned close to the emperor's ear and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Father, are we really going to hand the Elemental Lotus over to them?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Of course we can't just give things away for nothing!"
