Chapter 2369

On the tenth floor of the Pill Pagoda

Feng Ruanjie was a little panicked, but he calmed down when he remembered that he was in the Pill Pagoda. He sneered, "Are you trying to threaten me?

You should know that this is the Pill Pagoda. You've made such a big fuss that the other elders will probably come out soon. Will you still dare to be so arrogant later?

"If I were you, I would release the hostage and let myself be captured. That way, your crime would be lighter."

Zhuowen looked at the smug Feng Ruanjie, who didn't know the situation he was in. He had already determined that this guy was an idiot.

Feng Ruanjie had already become his hostage, yet he was still so smug. He was simply courting death.

Slap!

Thinking of this, Zhuo Wen couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Feng Ruanjie. He directly sent a slap over. Immediately, Feng Ruanjie's right cheek became red and swollen. He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with some broken teeth.

Zhuo Wen didn't show any mercy this time. He had used almost all of his strength. Although Feng Ruanjie was also a Void Sky expert, he actually became somewhat delirious after being slapped in the face.

"You're not going to talk?"

Zhuowen sneered. His right hand didn't stop slapping Feng Ruanjie's face.

Before long, Feng Ruanjie's cheeks were swollen. His face was so swollen that he looked like an ugly pig's head.

"Don't … Don't hit me anymore. I'll talk … I'll talk!"

Feng Ruanjie shrieked. He didn't dare to be stubborn anymore.

Although the slaps were only superficial, Zhuowen had used a lot of force. Every slap made Feng Ruanjie feel so much pain that he wanted to die. He just wanted to end this pain as soon as possible.

"It's all because of me. I wronged this brother. It's all because of me …"

Under Zhuowen's coercion, Feng Ruanjie recounted everything that had happened on the seventh floor.

The Seventh Elder's face darkened. He hadn't expected that all of this had happened because of his son.

"Seventh Elder, you hold a high position in the alchemy furnace, and you enforce the law impartially. I don't think you would abuse your power for personal gain, right?" Zhuowen casually tossed Feng Ruanjie to the ground, but his gaze landed on the Seventh Elder.

At this moment, the Seventh Elder looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him with fear.

This white-robed young man looked like he was only at the seventh step of the Void Sky Realm, but his strength was terrifying. His methods were decisive and ruthless; he was a vicious person.

In addition, his son, Feng Ruanjie, had confessed everything. This matter was indeed not the fault of this white-clothed youth.

"You hit one of our Pill Tower's enforcers. How are you going to settle this matter?

Are we just going to let it go like this? "Seventh Elder said coldly.

Zhuowen smiled faintly and said, "If it weren't for your son, I wouldn't have a conflict with the law-enforcement officers and wouldn't have been forced to take action. What do you think?"

The Seventh Elder frowned. Although what Zhuowen said was not wrong, he was not willing to accept it.

Zhuowen had beaten up the law-enforcement officers and his son. Zhuowen was disrespectful to him. How could the Seventh Elder be willing to let Zhuowen go just like that?

"What happened?"

Just as Zhuowen and the Seventh Elder were in a deadlock on the first level of the Pill Tower, two figures walked down from the top of the Pill Tower.

These two figures were not young. One of them was the white-robed elder who had entered the eighth level of the Pill Tower previously. The other person was dressed in a gray robe. His eyes were cold and his expression was solemn. He had a dignified aura around him.

The grey-robed elder was the one who had said those words just now.

"Second Elder, you're finally here!"

The moment the Seventh Elder saw the grey-robed elder, he immediately went up to him as if he had seen his savior.

After the Pill Tower's Great Elder passed away, the person with the highest authority in the Pill Tower naturally fell to the Second Elder.

The Second Elder of the Pill Tower was not a simple person. He was an existence who was even more powerful than the Great Elder. However, because his alchemy skills were not as good as the Great Elder's, he was forced to take the position of the Second Elder.

To be honest, the Second Elder's prestige in the Pill Tower was much higher than the Great Elder's when he was alive. The other elders of the Pill Tower were very respectful of the Second Elder.

The Second Elder indifferently glanced at the Seventh Elder. His cold gaze suddenly fell on Zhuowen's body. Soon after, he started to size up his surroundings.

Zhuowen's pupils shrank. The moment the Second Elder's gaze fell on him, he actually had the misconception that he had been seen through.

This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, he also discovered that the Second Elder's cultivation should only be at the Half-step Virtual Sky Ninth Step. However, it gave him the feeling that he had been seen through. This was really too abnormal.

When he had faced Kuang Li or the elder from the Lu Shrine, he did not have this feeling of being seen through. However, when he met the Second Elder, he had this feeling. This made Zhuowen have a misconception that the Second Elder was not simple.

Moreover, Zhuowen was sure that this was not an illusion. The Second Elder was indeed not simple.

At this moment, the Seventh Elder was already whispering something to the Second Elder. It should be about what Zhuowen had done before.

Zhuowen's gaze was calm. If the Second Elder also sided with the Seventh Elder, Zhuowen would not be polite. At that time, he would not hesitate to use the Waning Sun at the Sea to teach the Pill Tower a profound lesson.

However, contrary to Zhuowen's expectations, the Second Elder only nodded calmly. Then, he pointed at Zhuowen and said with a smile, "You are Zhuowen, right?

Elder Peng mentioned you to me. I have some matters to discuss with you. Come with me to the Pill Tower's tenth floor! "

As soon as the Second Elder said this, the surroundings instantly became deathly silent.

Some people even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears and subconsciously picked at them.

The Pill Tower's tenth floor was the highest floor of the Pill Tower. It was also the place closest to the Pill Tower's alchemic fire. It was also the most important place in the Pill Tower.

It was said that apart from the Pill Tower's elders, even the Pill Tower's enforcers could not enter the tenth floor, let alone others.

But now, the Second Elder had actually invited an unknown white-clothed youth to the tenth floor. Many people felt that the Second Elder was joking.

"Second Elder, you aren't joking with us, right?" The Seventh Elder smiled embarrassedly.

The Second Elder looked seriously at the Seventh Elder and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

The Seventh Elder's face stiffened. He stood on the spot at a loss. He did not know how to reply to the Second Elder.

As for Feng Ruanjie, who had been casually tossed to the ground by Zhuowen and had been beaten into a pig's head, his body trembled.

Originally, he was rather delighted when he saw the Second Elder come down. He thought that the Second Elder would seek justice for him.

However, the Second Elder's words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His entire body stiffened.

Even he, the son of the Seventh Elder, did not have the qualifications to enter the Pill Tower's tenth floor. Only his father had the qualifications to enter.

But now, the Second Elder had actually openly invited an outsider to enter the Pill Tower's tenth floor. Moreover, this outsider had just fiercely slapped him. This made Feng Ruanjie feel humiliated.

However, Feng Ruanjie was helpless. The Second Elder had the final say in the Pill Tower now.

Since it was the Second Elder's suggestion, then even his father did not have the qualifications to object.
