It was clear that the newcomer did not immediately see what was happening at first glance, and the latter sentence carried a heavy sense of astonishment, indicating the shock felt upon witnessing the scene.

What kind of place is the Alchemy Pavilion? As the name implies, it is where alchemists concoct elixirs. What status do alchemists hold? So prestigious! Even the slightest disturbance is absolutely impermissible.

Why did Lin Hong dare to confront Xu Fan so confidently before? It was because the Alchemy Pavilion was far too secure! With a Zhiwei Realm elite stationed there, who would dare act recklessly?

Everyone believed the Alchemy Pavilion was too secure; even the Zhiwei Realm elite guarding the pavilion thought this way, which led to some complacency, and a moment's inattention resulted in this incident.

Looking at the scene before him, the elder's face was as grim as water.

Thump, thump, thump!

A mass of footsteps approached as guards hurried over, and seeing the elder's furious face, they all looked frightened.

"Elder Yu! Help!"

At this moment, several young mistresses, looking at the elder, couldn't help but burst into tears, seeming as if they had suffered a great indignity.

Elder Yu's expression was terrifyingly grim. As he stared at Xu Fan, a powerful aura surged from his body, and his voice was icy.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

The faces of several young mistresses were flushed and elevated, and because of their excessive emotions, they temporarily lost the ability to speak, only clinging to each other, crying out in despair.

Lin Hong was similarly extremely disheveled, but perhaps because she had been humiliated by Xu Fan once before, she did not collapse this time. Instead, she looked at Xu Fan with extreme malice and a hint of satisfaction on her face.

Originally, Lin Hong's plan was to summon guards to kill Xu Fan. Although the guards arrived slightly late, causing her to suffer much humiliation, it was all worth it, as Elder Yu had come personally this time.

Elder Yu is one of the guest elders of the Pill Divine Valley, a powerful Zhiwei Realm expert specially assigned to the Elixir Pharmacy to ensure its safety. Now that Elder Yu has come in person, Xu Fan is almost certainly doomed!

"Elder Yu! We were in the Alchemy Pavilion preparing to practice alchemy, but unfortunately, we encountered Xu Fan. Xu Fan for some reason sneaked into the pavilion and upon seeing us, began taunting us."

"We gently rebuked him a few times, but unexpectedly this thief became furious, slapped me on the cheek, and then went berserk, ordering each of us to slap ourselves a hundred times or else he would kill us on the spot!"

At this point, Lin Hong was sobbing uncontrollably, "Elder Yu, we are just weak women, our cultivation level is no match for this thief. We intended to guard the reputation of the Elixir Pharmacy with our lives, but worried this thief might escape, and that future apprentices might fall victim to him again, thus we bore the humiliation, waiting for Elder Yu to come and strike down this scoundrel!"

"Once this thief is dead, I, Lin Hong, am willing to die to restore the honor of the Elixir Pharmacy!"

Lin Hong's words directly made Elder Yu and a group of guards glare angrily at Xu Fan, while their eyes toward Lin Hong were full of sympathy and admiration.

Such weak women, facing such a wicked and maniacal person as Xu Fan, not only remained fearless but were extremely rational, bearing humiliation for the Elixir Pharmacy, and ultimately willing to die to protect its honor.

Even the ever dignified Elder Yu couldn't help but comfort Lin Hong warmly, "The Elixir Pharmacy is not a place for such corruption. You have done very well, and once I've dealt with this matter, I will report your merits to the higher-ups!"

Several of the sobbing young mistresses hurriedly spoke out one after another, stating the determination they had made to face death and the resolve they later had to endure humiliation to protect the Elixir Pharmacy.

Even those who had a falling out with Lin Hong before stood united on the same front, hugging each other and crying together.

Elder Yu comforted the young women one by one, calming their emotions, and then turned his gaze toward Xu Fan with chilling indifference.

"The Alchemy Pavilion, as the place of alchemy for the Elixir Pharmacy, has never experienced such a vile incident in its centuries of existence. No matter who you are, I must kill you today!"

All the guards glared angrily at Xu Fan, while their eyes were filled with contempt.

A young man, seemingly proper, but unexpectedly so vile in heart, specifically preying on women weaker in cultivation, and instead of merely teasing them, forcing them to slap themselves.

This behavior is infuriating, indeed making him a demon lord deserving of death by the hands of everyone under heaven!

And at this moment, Xu Fan, meeting the angry gazes of the crowd, began to laugh.

This action made Elder Yu, who initially intended to strike and kill Xu Fan, stop in his tracks, though his expression grew increasingly furious as he coldly asked Xu Fan, "Abusing a few weak women, is that funny?"

Xu Fan shook his head, "I am not laughing at them, but at you, at all of you."

"Laughing at me?" Elder Yu, furious, laughed sarcastically, "What a reckless thief! Facing death, daring still to laugh at me? Am I laughable?"

Facing the crowd's furious gazes, Xu Fan, far from repenting and lamenting his mistakes, boldly met their eyes without fear.

"I laugh at this enormous Elixir Pharmacy, acting like robbers, only willing to hear what they wish, only believing what's advantageous to them. A group of Vajra and Zhiwei Realm elites, intending to oppress the weak, wielding moral superiority to suppress others. You all use reason even when killing."

"Of course, perhaps you are genuinely unaware, making it even more laughable. A group of Vajra and Zhiwei Realm elites outsmarted by a group of women. How funny is it? It's downright pathetic!"

Xu Fan's words echoed through the great Elixir Pharmacy, strong and resonant, making Lin Hong and a few young mistresses go pale.

However, Elder Yu and the many guards collectively turned cold, fixing Xu Fan with eyes full of murderous intent.

Boom!

A towering aura erupted from Elder Yu, who stepped toward Xu Fan, speaking with chilling intent, "This thief's deceitful words should be punished!"

In an instant, the Alchemy Pavilion was filled with chilling murderous intent.
