The whole hall was silent. Only the sound of gritting teeth was coming from Zhao Fugui. His face was red in anger, but still he said, "Boy, don't even think of getting spirit medicines in the future. I'm the Pill Hall manager of this branch. I'd revoke the license of anyone who dares to sell you pills from now on."
Huai looked at him as if annoyed. "Heh! Who wants your pills anyway? Who wants a pill that could kill a healthy 9th-tier sect leader to his death?"
These words were like a sharp arrow in Zhao Fugui's heart. Even the onlookers looked at Fugui for an answer—what does this gentleman mean by this sentence?
Zhao Fugui thought to himself: he indeed got bribed by the Li family patriarch back then; he got a whopping 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones from him to poison The Eternal Sect's then-Sect Leader, Ling Xiao. He even got bribed later to not sell any kind of breakthrough pills again to The Eternal Sect members by the young master of the Li family, Li Tian. But who would think that later the Li family would attack The Eternal Sect after a whole two years, after their Ancestor broke through the level 2 Nascent Soul realm? But still, they were killed by those Eternal Sect members in revenge. The Eternal Sect even wiped out the whole Li family in return.
Now that the traces of his bribery are already gone, then why would he get caught by just anyone? He said, annoyed, "Brat! Why are you spouting nonsense in front of so many people?"
Huai: "Oh, am I spouting nonsense?"
Then he took out some paper from the system space. Something was written on it; he looked at those papers, then looked toward Zhao Fugui, and then waved his hand. Each paper flew by the wind and reached every person in the room except him. Everyone read what was in the paper, and each and every onlooker looked at Zhao Fugui in unison. Even those 9th-rank alchemists and even that receptionist boy and Yue Qing'er looked at him in unison.
Zhao Fugui felt his head was completely wet with sweat. He thought that this guy had proof of his bribery with the Li family and gave those proofs to all the onlookers. He felt fear for the first time but still didn't want to show it; he's a Nascent Soul level 5 cultivator. If he needs to, he'd kill everyone here. Although the Nexus Sovereign has all control over humanity, still she can't always watch over them...
Just by thinking this, he looked at Huai and said haughtily, "So what? So what if I killed The Eternal Sect leader, Ling Xiao, by lacing his breakthrough pill with poison? Did he think that he can do everything as he wants? He wanted to unify these four cities and make it a better place for humanity; who gave him the audacity to do it?"
Huai looked at him and asked genuinely, "So you accepted clearly, that you are the one who laced poison in the sect master's breakthrough pill?"
Zhao Fugui looked at him and sneered, saying, "Yes! I did it, so what? He was not even a 9th-tier citizen; who gave you the audacity to question me?"
Huai looked at him but didn't say anything, but started laughing. "Hahahahaha..."
Everyone looked at Zhao Fugui as if he were an idiot. Alchemists looked at him as if he ruined the reputation of the profession of alchemist. Yue Qing'er looked at him as if she were looking at trash. Her eyes were red in shame that she came here to this person for saving her mother.
Zhao Fugui was confused. At this moment, someone came towards Fugui and gave him the paper that Huai sent to him back then. Fugui took the paper and read it:
"Read this paper carefully. If you respect humanity, look at Zhao Fugui with confusion. Say nothing else."
Looking at the paper, Fugui's face became more and more dark. What the hell did he just see? Are all those papers also like this one? Then he just stepped into a trap and revealed a secret that could have been buried forever...
Huai looked at him then smiled. "Idiot, you are the greatest idiot I saw in my entire life."
These words just poked a hole in Zhao Fugui; he felt so much shame that his rationality was becoming less and less. Time after time, he was going to burst in anger. He thought to himself and stopped staring at the paper, then used his force to turn the paper into dust, then released his aura to suppress this brat.
The whole room felt heavy. Everyone felt as if a strong mountain was pressing them to the floor; they looked at Zhao Fugui in horror. Yue Qing'er looked at Huai and thought to herself, 'What is this old man trying to do?'
But to Zhao Fugui's utter disbelief, he saw the guy who he wanted to slap in the face was nonchalant about the released aura of Zhao Fugui. Huai put a hand on the shoulder of Yue Qing'er, and the pressure of Zhao Fugui vanished from her as if it were never on her at all; she straightened up and looked at Huai in great respect.
Huai waved his hand again and the whole room returned to its tranquility. The pressure vanished from everyone, and everyone looked at Huai with respectful eyes. Zhao Fugui didn't believe his eyes; he didn't expect this outcome at all. He looked at Huai with fiery eyes and said, "Who are you?"
Huai looked him in the eyes and this time answered his question with a booming voice, "I am the new Sect Leader of THE ETERNAL SECT, Shen Huai."
Everyone heard those words and looked at Huai in reverence. They had also heard the news of the Eternal Sect having a new sect leader and the legendary things they did in just a few days; they always wondered about this new sect leader. Today they saw him with their own eyes, but it's really wonderful to see that the new sect leader is so young, maybe only 16-17 years old.
Yue Qing'er looked at Huai in horror and covered her open mouth with both shaky hands; she never thought the big brother who stood up for her was the new sect leader of THE ETERNAL SECT.
The most shocked person amongst the crowd was Zhao Fugui. He never thought that the new sect leader of THE ETERNAL SECT was this formidable—that he just waved his aura into nothingness, which only a same-realm cultivator could do. He looked at Huai and said, "Boy, although you are the sect leader of the Eternal Sect, so what? Don't let me take action, or else even if you are in the same realm..."
Huai didn't let him continue and released his aura towards Zhao Fugui, saying, "Oh really? Then let me see how you make me regret..."
Huai's aura pressed over Zhao Fugui. In Zhao Fugui's horror, he was pressed to the ground by just the pressure of Huai's aura. He looked at Huai in horror and said, "Your Highness, I'm a 9th-tier citizen of the Red Lotus Galaxy registered by the official registration office, and an 8th-grade alchemist. Release me this moment now..." he said, gritting his teeth.
But Huai didn't take him seriously at all. All the people were looking at Zhao Fugui in disgust; he was still trying to threaten someone who even pressed him to the ground by just releasing his aura.
Huai looked at him in disgust and waved his hand, and a token came out of the system space. The token was carved out of the highest quality jade; on one side was written "Human Federation Inspector" and on the other side was written the words "6th Grade Alchemist."
Anyone of those words can make people blind with horror. Everyone looked at Huai in more respect and horror. What the hell! This new sect master of the Eternal Sect is fierce. He even has the inspector badge of the Human Federation and he's a 6th-grade alchemist.
Yue Qing'er looked at Huai in more horror; she knows the meaning of 6th-grade too well. Her sect only had a single token from a 6th-grade physician; that person is a well-known person in the mid-level star field. And in this lower-level star field, on this small planet, he is like a divine being revered by everyone.
Zhao Fugui's face became more ugly; he hadn't imagined in his wildest dreams that he'd throw stones at this unbeatable fortress.
Huai looked at him and said, "As the inspector of the Human Federation, by using the rules of human rights, I declare that the branch manager of the Pill Hall in Red Brick City abused his power and killed innocent people for his own gain, even threatened people with his 9th-tier citizenship. So, from now on, I revoke his qualification as an alchemist and ban him from entering any Pill Hall, taking his position as branch manager back from him, and even confiscated his position as a 9th-tier citizen of the Red Lotus Galaxy."
These words were like a decree from heaven. Zhao Fugui felt his whole body ache just by thinking of these sentences, still he looked at Huai and tried to threaten him again by saying, "Your Highness, although you took my license and citizenship, still you can't protect this bitch every time." He looked at Yue Qing'er.
Huai was going to release him, then he said this; he looked at him and asked, "Are you threatening me still now?"
Zhao Fugui lost all of his sanity; he was looking like an insulted dog, looked at Huai with red eyes, and said, "So what if I threatened you? So what if I'm threatening to take an ant's life? So what?" he said angrily.
Huai looked at him then waved his hand and a token flew out of the pocket of Zhao Fugui. The token was red in color; on one side the words "RED LOTUS GALAXY" were written over its surface, and on the other side the words "9TH TIER" were written on it. It was the 9th-tier citizenship token that Zhao Fugui was most proud of. Although he was now a completely lost cause, still he was a 9th-tier citizen once; this was the proof of that.
The token flew over and landed in Huai's hand. Huai played with the token for a few seconds and then used his magnified voice and said again, "I thought that giving you a chance to think over your life would make you a good person. But sigh! The shit on the road is always shit to begin with... Although you liked to show off your own citizenship so much, I'm giving it back to you."
Just by saying this, Huai threw the token towards the suppressed Zhao Fugui—the ex-Pill Hall manager of the Red Brick City, an 8th-grade alchemist, and 9th-tier citizen. The moment the token touched Fugui's skin, to his horrified eyes, his whole body turned into blood mist...
The token that was his pride all his life took his life at last. The arrogance that made him the strongest being on this dilapidated land took his life just like this. The whole place was silent at this moment. Everyone looked at Huai and had respect for him for killing this pest from society.
Huai looked at the alchemists and said, "My work is done here! Goddess will send someone to take the pill manager position soon..."
Then he looked at the other people and said in a calm voice," don't leak anything outside that happened here ."
Everyone nodded in acknowledgement.they know, that what happened here is not believable at all . Even if they tell the stories outside people would look at them as if they are crazy ...
He didn't even look at anyone anymore, then was going to leave the hall when Yue Qing'er stopped him, bowed to him, and saluted: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for saving my life and dignity."
Huai looked at her carefully and said, "Rotten Qi? Why are you covered with Rotten Qi?"
Qing'er was startled at first, then looked as if she saw a horror in front of her. No one, no matter who that person is—even that 6th-grade physician—never detected Rotten Qi before seeing her mother up close. But what did she hear now? The sect master of the Eternal Sect just looked at her and asked about Rotten Qi? What does it mean? What it means, she needed to confirm.
She feigned ignorance then asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
