The elder immediately knit his brows when he heard this.
The murder of an Alchemy Master, this wasn't a small accusation. Even if this person was the one that the princess had ordered him to look after, he still couldn't just back him on this.
The Alchemy Master on the other hand had his face down and he had a calm look on his face, but he was panicking deep down.
No matter what, he never expected Lin Fan to suddenly lead with this.
He had been sure to clean up any loose ends that were left behind when this matter had happened years ago, how could it surface once again?
Still he didn't show any signs of panicking as he waited for the elder's response.
Elder Fu looked down at the current Alchemy Master for a bit. When the Alchemy Master felt Elder Fu's gaze coming from above, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat, but he kept his head down the entire time to hide it.
Finally Elder Fu turned back to Lin Fan and asked, "Young friend Lin, we both know that this is a serious matter, so I'm certain that you have your evidence to prove it. How about you stop keeping us in suspense and bring it out?"
Lin Fan had also been looking at the Alchemy Master for a while with the elder, but it seemed like this Alchemy Master was much better at acting than he thought, so he brought out his first trump card.
Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "Alright, since I'm the one accusing him, of course I would have my evidence."
After saying that, Lin Fan tapped at his watch before saying, "Come on in."
While his arms were still broken, he released life energy to hold the bones in place which allowed him to move it slightly, albeit it was painful to do.
Then after a few seconds, there was someone who had walked through all the guards to come to arrive on stage.
The Alchemy Master looked up at this person and his face couldn't help twitching when he saw him. This man was someone that he recognized very well since it was one of the two trusted subordinates that he had under him.
This was a man who had loyally followed him for many years, but now he was standing on the same side as his enemy.
When that man came onto the stage, he first bowed to Lin Fan before bowing to the elder.
Elder Fu had noticed the change on the Alchemy Master's face when he saw this man, so he could tell that this man was indeed someone the Alchemy Master recognized.
Lin Fan nodded at this man who came up before saying, "Why don't you tell them what you told me before?"
The man nodded once again before he started speaking, "I've served the current Alchemy Master for many years, but…"
Then before he could continue, there was a burst of blood that came from his mouth before he suddenly fell to the ground.
Lin Fan and Elder Fu both knit their brows as they were confused why this man had suddenly died in front of them, but the Alchemy Master who had been on the ground still revealed a sly smile.
The Alchemy Master was someone who liked to plan for the unplanned, so he had placed a special pill inside the heart of each of his most trusted subordinates. If they ever betrayed him, it would only take a single thought for him to eliminate them.
But it was too bad that Lin Fan had more than a single trump card.
And this time, he was prepared since Brainy had already found that reason why the other one had died and removed it.
After a while, Lin Fan then tapped his watch again and said, "You can also come in now."
The Alchemy Master's back twitched a bit at this, but then he quickly calmed down. He knew that he was already prepared for this since everyone that should know about this matter already had pills in their hearts.
The one who came out was the second person who had followed the Alchemy Master for many years.
The Alchemy Master revealed a smile when he took a quick peek, but he didn't immediately burst the pill to crush this man's heart. He allowed the man to come up to the stage first.
The man began talking just like the other one had and then the Alchemy Master tried to shatter his heart with the pill like his other subordinate, but this time it was different. No matter how many times the Alchemy Master tried to explode the spiritual sense seed in the pill which would shatter the man's heart, he just couldn't do it.
The man continued as he said, "The Alchemy Master has forced us to do many things and we silently accepted it because we had no other choice, but now I personally can't continue living this way."
Elder Fu had been looking over the dead man with his spiritual sense and he had found the cause for that man's death. That man had his heart exploded by a pill that he had swallowed.
Elder Fu stopped this man in the middle of his words and came over, sending his spiritual sense into the man and he found what he was looking for at the man's heart.
In the center of this man's heart, there was a pill that had traces of spiritual sense still left on it. Based on the energy of the spiritual sense, Elder Fu could tell just who it belonged to, which not only helped prove this man's identity, but also what he was about to say.
But even with his spiritual sense searching this man, Elder Fu couldn't find the seed that Brainy had put in this man.
The vine that Brainy used to control people completely wrapped around the host's nerves, mimicking them and taking their place. Unless Elder Fu intensely searched this man's body and knew what he was looking for, it was unlikely that he would find Brainy's vines.
Brainy had also taken care of the spiritual sense seed inside the pill. It had scattered the seed, but had left traces of the spiritual sense behind for the elder to find.
Elder Fu looked down at the Alchemy Master again, but this time his gaze was much colder. He could tell that there was clearly a plot afoot and this man kneeling was clearly trying to hide something.
Elder Fu waved for the man to continue and that man said, "Chen Hu had ten of us and the five elders surround Alchemy Master Jun, even then that was after we had poisoned Alchemy Master Jun. We were supposed to wipe out their entire family, but since the little girl had escaped, the only thing we could do was blame it on her."
Elder Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at this man, "Why are you suddenly coming forward with this information?"
The man looked at Elder Fu and calmly said, "I was someone who had respected Alchemy Master Jun before and my heart has been racked with guilt the entire time. I just want to make amends before I die."
Elder Fu just nodded at this.
Of course, that was all a lie.
When Lin Fan had sent back that one bad customer with the seed in him, he had sent him to his death, while also sending him to implant seeds into people who were close to the Alchemy Master.
Over this period, Lin Fan had been spreading the seeds through the network of the Alchemy Master and gathering more and more information on what had happened to Alchemy Master Jun back then. This was to be his final trump card just in case the envoy did have a guardian, he could use all this information to pressure the guardian to back off since this would be a disgrace to both the Alchemy Tower and the Alchemy King Hall.
However, using it like this was also good since he could clean up all his loose ends like this.
The Alchemy Tower elders saw that this situation was bad for them, but of course they couldn't do anything since they couldn't just fight their way out of this. Or at least they couldn't with the elder here.
The Alchemy Tower elders on the Alchemy Master's side began shouting out to refute this.
"What do you mean, I've never heard of this before!"
"Alchemy Master, did you really kill Alchemy Master Jun?"
"Alchemy Master Jun was a true leader, how could you do that?"
There were all kinds of tones in the voices of these elders, some played dumb, while some tried to cast all the blame on Alchemy Master Chen.
But of course none of that mattered since Elder Fu could easily see through them.
However, before Elder Fu could say a thing, there was a small figure that suddenly charged onto the stage from the side wielding a small dagger above her head.
"My name is Jun Xiao Hua. You kill my father, prepare to die!"
