Chapter 3996: The President is in a Coma
yes were glowing with an eerie red light, making him look strange and menacing, like a venomous viper waiting to strike.After the encirclement was complete, the black-clad man at the front said: " Sim...Ye Bufan asked, “Was it done by the Lingxiao Sect”
"There's no evidence, but I suspect it probably is."
Speaking of Lingxiao Sect, Hua Qiqi's shyness slowly faded from her face, replaced by a look of hatred.
In the Celestial Domain, there are only a handful of sects that can deploy two peak Immortal Emperors at once. The Lingxiao Sect is one of them.
The most crucial point is that Shi Kai had approached me before this, wanting to support me in becoming the next Alchemist Guild president. The condition was that I would cooperate with Ling Xiao Zong.
I am a disciple of the Alchemist's Guild. I uphold the teachings of my ancestors, so there is no way I would collude with them. I refused outright.
I originally thought these people hit a wall with the current president and wanted to consider the long term, starting with the next successor.
This time, the president being attacked made me realize they never intended to wait any longer. They wanted to assassinate the president and seize control of the Alchemist's Guild.
Ye Bufan said, “The guild leader isn’t dead, is he Their schemes must have failed.”
Hu Qiqi shook her head: "It's not what you think. Now that the Guild Master is in a coma, it gives people like the Great Elder an opportunity to make moves."
The Alchemist's Guild cannot be without a leader, so he boldly proposed confirming the identity of the next heir.
If the Guild Master suffers any misfortune and passes away directly, if the Guild Master falls into a coma and is unable to wake up, then the heir will preside over all guild affairs.
It seems like everything is being done in the name of the union, but it's actually about seizing power.
Ye Bufan said: "So besides you, they have other candidates."
“Yes, in the Alchemist Guild, I am recognized as a genius among the younger generation of alchemists. Besides me, there is another person with extremely high talent for alchemy, that is Xie Hongying, the disciple of the Grand Elder.”
Now the Lingxiao Sect and the elders are trying to put Xie Hongying in charge, so they can get the chairperson's position and then cooperate with the Lingxiao Sect.
Ye Bufan asked, "Shouldn't the successor of the chairman be decided by the chairman himself What means do they have"
Hu Qiqi said, "The Alchemist's Guild has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and naturally has its own rules."
According to the regulations, if the Guild Master meets with an accident, the next successor will be decided by a vote of the elders' council.
Ye Bufan frowned: "So they're absolutely certain"
"No, if there were, I wouldn't have been brought here."
After regaining her composure, Hua Qiqi was definitely a very intelligent woman. She quickly figured out the key to the situation.
Now the seven elders of the Alchemist Guild, the three Great Elders support Xie Hongying, and the three Second Elders support me. Both sides are evenly matched with three against three, neither side has any advantage.
The final say rested with Elder Kong Lingyuan, the third elder. Both sides wanted to win him over, but the old man was cunning and shrewd, never stating his position, wanting to reap greater benefits.
It's possible that they couldn't convince Elder Three completely, so they came up with another plan to get rid of me.
In that case, Xie Hongying would have no opponents. Even if the Second Elder and the others disapproved, there would be no other candidates by then.
Ye Bufan nodded. After this conversation, he had a basic understanding of the Alchemist Guild's situation.
"In fact, solving this dilemma is quite simple. As long as we heal the president, wouldn't everything be resolved"
Hua Qiqi said, “Yes, but it's easy to say, but hard to do.”
During this time, the Second Elder and his people have been busy seeking out renowned physicians from the Celestial Domain. They have found many doctors, but none have been able to cure the Grand Master, nor even awaken him.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "If I'm not mistaken, the chairman's coma is definitely not that simple. It's very likely that it was done by those people from the elder."
"But it's okay, you can take me there. I think we can heal an adult's wounds."
Ye Bufan now possesses strength comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor, and he has absolute confidence in his medical skills.
No matter if Zhuge Qingyang was injured or had been tampered with by others, he was confident that he could cure himself.
"That's great, teacher! I really need your help this time!"
Hua Qiqi's face was full of excitement as she led Ye Bufan out of the cave and toward Lingxiao Xiancheng.
The Alchemist's Guild, Grand Elder Luo Rong and Fourth Elder Mo Chongba once again gathered together for a meeting.
How is everything going Are things going smoothly
Luo Rong's expression was serious, he had been preparing for so long, and now it was the crucial moment.
"Elder, rest assured, everything is going very smoothly, even better than expected!"
Mo Chongba revealed a cunning smile. "I sent that message to Lingxiao Sect, telling them that Hu Qiqi was related to the murderer who killed Shi Kai, and I told them how to test it."
The Lingxiao Sect sent Shi Tu, Shi Kai's brother, to take personal action, and someone left a note in Hua Qiqi's room stating that the murderer who killed Shi Kai would be executed soon.
Originally, I was just making a guess, but the woman's reaction was much stronger than I expected. She panicked and was completely unlike her usual calm self.
Without even greeting Elder Two and the others, he dashed out of Lingxiao City.
At this, a smile also appeared on Luo Rong's face.
"In that case, Hua Qiqi is surely doomed this time!"
"Need I say more Even if she had nothing to do with the murderer of Shi Kai, the Lingxiao Sect would get rid of her to ensure our side's smooth progress."
Moreover, since Shi Kai is now dead and Hua Qiqi has returned to the sect unharmed, there must be an inseparable connection between the two.
Once again, Lingxiao Sect sent out Stone Opening and Stone Diagram brothers. Both are renowned immortal emperors at their peak, with Stone Opening's strength ranking within the top five of the entire Lingxiao Sect.
Facing such a powerful opponent, even if Hua Qiqi was a genius and incredibly talented, she would only have one path: death. There was absolutely no possibility of her surviving this.
Lu Rong let out a cold smile: “That's best. Without this woman, tomorrow, see how those blind old things from Elder Two dares to oppose us”
Mo Chongba said, "What if the Second Elder disagrees with voting for an heir"
"This is the rule of the Alchemist's Guild, he can't disagree with it."
Luo Rong said, "No matter what, tomorrow we must push Xie Hongying to the position of heir. When the Guild Master dies, we will become the leaders of the Alchemist's Guild."
Mo Chongba let out a chuckle: "Elder, you are wise. When we cooperate with the Lingxiao Sect, with our medicinal pill support and their strength, it will only be a matter of time before we dominate the Upper Heavenly Domain."
"Believe that it won't be long before the entire fairy world will revere us!"
"Everything is going smoothly so far, but we absolutely can't afford any mistakes from now on."
Luo Rong frowned suddenly, "Is Zhuge Qingyang's handling safe Don't wake up suddenly then, that would be all for naught."
Mo Chongba patted his chest, brimming with confidence.
"Rest assured, Elder. I used the saliva of a nightmare demon worm on him. This thing is colorless and odorless; no one would notice anything amiss."
After eating it, one falls into a sleep from which they never wake. Within three days, their soul departs in dreams, and body and spirit are extinguished.. If Xue Canghai succeeded, it wouldn't be good for Xuan Yuan Ge at all.Ye Bufan knew what the woman was worried about, and patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, this old man doesn't have th...
