Chapter 2366: Lab Rats
Master Bai waved his hand nonchalantly. "Don't worry about it. I've lived for a thousand years. If I die here, then it's fate."
Yang Chen fell silent upon hearing this. He clenched his fists tightly. He had to get out of here no matter what.
"Don't blame yourself, kid," Master Bai said softly. "We underestimated them. I never expected that a mere branch of the Alchemist Association in the Celestial Realm would possess a True God. Moreover, those people actually betrayed Brother Ouyang."
Yang Chen let out a wry smile. "Yes. We were too careless."
When they arrived in the Celestial Realm, they followed Ouyang Feng back to his hometown and met his former subordinates. Later, they learned that most of Ouyang Feng's people were sent to the Alchemist Association. Without hesitation, they planned to rescue them... Unexpectedly, they were betrayed and captured in one fell swoop.
Master Bai was embarrassed when he thought of this. As someone who had lived for a long time, he should have noticed it from the beginning. "Ah... Maybe I'm too old," he muttered.
For the past six months, both of them had been forced to take numerous pills refined by those alchemists. In the beginning, those pills helped them improve their cultivation at an incredible pace, but it didn't last long. Soon, their bodies started to show signs of rejection.
"Fortunately, these pills are not very harmful," Yang Chen said. "I estimate they are just practicing with us."
"I wonder if Yun Boy knows about this... He must not let Huian know about this," Master Bai said, his voice filled with worry. He was afraid that Jin Huian would come and fall into a trap.
Yang Chen's expression turned solemn. He knew Yun Lintian would definitely come to rescue them if he found out about this.
Just as they were talking, the sound of footsteps echoed through the dungeon. The two of them immediately turned to look at the entrance.
Two figures appeared, walking towards them. It was two alchemists wearing white robes. "It's time for your medicine," one of the alchemists said with a cold smile.
Yang Chen and Master Bai exchanged a glance. They knew what was coming.
The alchemists opened their cells and handed them two pills each.
"Swallow them," one of the alchemists ordered.
Yang Chen and Master Bai hesitated briefly, then swallowed the pills.
"When was the last time you saw them?" Yun Lintian asked.
"About six months ago. They went to the Eastern Divine Region to rescue Ouyang Feng's former subordinates and disappeared since," Gong Yuxiao answered. "We were called back to the sect at that time."
Yun Lintian touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "It seems they walked right into a trap. Maybe someone notified the enemy ahead of time and lured them over."
In his opinion, Master Bai wasn't stupid enough to sense nothing. With his cleverness, it was impossible for him to simply walk into a trap without making preparations. There was only one possibility-he was completely set up by someone he trusted.
If Master Bai knew Yun Lintian's thoughts, he would definitely lower his head in shame... He had been that careless.
"It shouldn't be difficult to find them. Wherever this True God Xuanming is, they must be there," Yun Lintian said indifferently. "Hopefully, my friends are still alive... If not..."
Gong Yuxiao and Zhu Jinxiu shuddered involuntarily when they heard this. Yun Lintian didn't even emit a slight murderous intent, but they could feel it.
"We're here," Gong Yuxiao spoke up, snapping Yun Lintian out of his thoughts.
They had arrived at the Xuanming God Realm, a vast expanse of celestial beauty and grandeur. Towering mountains pierced through the clouds, shimmering rivers snaked through lush valleys, and majestic cities stood proudly amidst the splendor.
Yun Lintian looked around calmly. The realm reflected the power and prestige of its ruler, True God Xuanming. But beneath the surface, he knew there were dark secrets lurking,
waiting to be revealed.
"Where is the headquarters of the Alchemist Association?" Yun Lintian asked.
Gong Yuxiao pointed toward a distant mountain range. "It's located deep within the Xuanming Mountains, heavily guarded by True God Xuanming's forces."
Yun Lintian nodded. "Alright, let's go."
"This..." Gong Yuxiao and Zhu Jinxiu hesitated. They couldn't even confirm Ouyang Feng's location. It was too risky to go there.
"We'll be fine," Yun Lintian said indifferently and waved his hand, changing the appearances of Gong Yuxiao and Zhu Jinxiu before flying toward the headquarters.
The two women were stunned by the powerful disguise and hurriedly chased after him.
