The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chen Hai was eager to rage and fight for hundreds of rounds, but Zhou Rufeng kept giving him subtle looks to stop.

As dissatisfied as Chen Hai was, he was not foolish. He and Zhou Rufeng together were unable to take down Fang Lin, let alone if he were alone – he definitely would not stand a chance against Fang Lin.

Thus, Chen Hai could only suppress his rage, his face turning red as he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Fang Lin sneered twice, turned around and looked at the dumbfounded crowd, and announced loudly, “From today onwards, I, Fang Lin, alone will claim ownership of the Demon Suppressing Cave.”

Once these words were spoken, the complexions of Fang QingShui and his party subtly changed. Particularly Chen Hai and Zhou Rufeng, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

So infuriating!

Fang Lin had essentially stepped on their shoulders to rise to the top, using them to solidify his position as the ruler of the Demon Suppressing Cave.

Fang QingShui and Li Yuntang were just surprised, after all, they did not have any direct disagreements or feuds with Fang Lin.

However, they both were against the idea of Fang Lin becoming the ruler of the Demon Suppressing Cave.

After all, the Demon Suppressing Cave is only so large and the balance of power between the five major figures has been maintained for a few years. The sudden addition of another major figure would definitely impact their standing to a certain extent.

Most importantly, none of the five major figures would welcome another contender to divide their power.

“Hmph! Who do you think you are? You dare to compare yourself to us?” Chen Hai indignantly argued.

Fang Lin glanced at him and retorted, “Am I not strong enough?”

Chen Hai was at a loss for words, unable to refute him.

True, Fang Lin’s prowess could indeed allow him to claim his spot as one of the five major figures, but the issue wasn’t about strength, it was about whether the other major figures would tolerate Fang Lin’s existence.

Chen Hai and Zhou Rufeng were definitely strongly opposed to it.

As for Fang QingShui and Li Yuntang, they may not have any grudges with Fang Lin, but they definitely do not want him to share their power.

As for the absent figure, it’s likely he wouldn’t welcome another major figure either.

In general, Fang Lin’s existence would obstruct the harmony of the five major figures in the Demon Suppressing Cave.

“Younger brother Fang Lin, the title of a major figure in the Demon Suppressing Cave isn’t easily obtained,” Fang QingShui hinted.

Li Yuntang also chimed in with a somber tone, “Without the approval of us five, even It you are strong enougn, you Will be repelled DY all ot us, and you can’t De considered a major figure.”

Fang Lin looked at the four with disdain and nonchalantly responded, “Then never mind.”

Everyone was taken aback once again, Fang QingShui and the other three were momentarily stunned as well.

They never thought Fang Lin would abandon his aspirations so decisively. Didn’t he want to fight for his position? Did he not even have the slightest ambition?

However, Fang Lin’s actions somehow eased the minds of Fang QingShui and the rest.

Fang Lin no longer paid attention to the four, instead, he returned to the side of Wang Dalong, Shen Dong and the others.

The respect in the eyes of Wang Dalong and his companions deepened upon Fang Lin’s return. It was not just respect anymore, it was dread.

“Elder brother Fang, I never knew you were so formidable, not even Chen Hai and Zhou Rufeng combined could take you down,” Shen Dong said excitedly as if it was him who had fought against the two, not Fang Lin.

Wang Dalong and his companions looked at each other, regretting their foolish attempts to humiliate Fang Lin just a few days ago. They were considering bullying someone who even Chen Hai and Zhou Rufeng couldn’t take down. Wasn’t that just making things difficult for themselves?

The disciples around them looked at Fang Lin with reverence. Even if he hadn’t officially become a major figure of the Demon Suppressing Cave, all the people in the Demon Suppressing Cave had already elevated Fang Lin’s status to the level of a major figure.

Five disciples who had previously accused Fang Lin were disappointed to see that neither Chen Hai or Zhou Rufeng could defeat him.

One of them hesitated, walked up to Fang QingShui, and whispered something to him.

Upon hearing this, Fang QingShui’s face darkened momentarily.

The next moment, however, Fang QingShui’s expression returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Fang QingShui’s lack of a response, the disciple was puzzled and was about to continue speaking, when he was abruptly slapped away by Fang QingShui.

“Shut up!” Fang QingShui murmured coldly, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate, ignoring everything else.

The disciple spat blood, obviously injured by Fang QingShui’s strike. He was horrified, dared not say another word, and quickly returned to the side of the others.

Although Fang QingShui was outwardly calm, his mind was turbulent.

“So this Fang Lin has injured sister Ding Linglong and offended brother Ding Xuanji, but there is nothing I can do. It doesn’t matter if I ignore it,” Fang QingShui thought.

Fang QingShui, being a smart man, chose to mind his own business. Even though Fang Lin had a dispute with Ding Xuanji, he couldn’t do anything about it, so he could only pretend not to know anything.

This central square, filled with many detained disciples, was a place where they naturally had various disputes with each other.

This rare day out in the open was also a time for them to settle their scores.

No more than an hour had passed and many fights had already broken out.

There were also people looking to cause trouble just because they didn’t like someone.

In short, this rare day out would often cause the entire Demon Suppressing Cave to become chaotic.

But no matter who it was, they would be careful. It was fine to fight viciously, but it was absolutely forbidden to kill someone.

Apart from that, they couldn’t provoke the major figures of the Cave.

Fang QingShui, Chen Hai and the others sat there, turning a blind eye to everything that was happening in the square. As long as no one affronted them, it didn’t matter how chaotic the square got, it had nothing to do with them.

Unlike them, Fang Lin didn’t have the mood to meditate. It was a rare moment of freedom, how could he waste this precious time?

And so, across the vast square, Fang Lin darted from here to there, commenting on the fighting disciples from time to time.

“Hit his stomach, quickly hit his stomach!” “Your stance is wobbly, you will fall even if you squat in a pit.”

“Ah, you targeted the lower part! Interesting!”

Fang Lin behaved like a playful child who was interested in everything. Those disciples, who were initially fighting fervently, due to Fang Lin’s scrutiny, found it increasingly awkward and they simply stopped fighting.

Everyone was speechless with Fang Lin. We are fighting, is it suitable for you to stand on the side and watch? If you just watch, could you keep quiet?

On the other hand, three disciples surrounded Shen Dong and the young man who had his tongue cut.

“Shen Dong, you have no business here, get lost,” said the shortest among the three to Shen Dong..
