Chapter 137: Alchemy contest

"Alchemy contest?" The elders all said at the same time.

They were confused, why would the envoy suddenly think to hold an alchemy contest?

The Lord Envoy ignored them as he continued to say, "For now, we don't know what forces are backing that pet shop, so we can't make a rash move. If this starts a war in the upper realm, your entire Alchemy Tower might be sacrificed to avoid that. So for now, what we need to do is to bait them out and see who they are, only then can we make a move. It's clear that they want to set up their shop here, so there's nothing better to advertise that shop with than an alchemy contest. There is no doubt that they will send someone to compete and this will let me see their techniques, so I can see which force they belong to."

Hearing this, the elders began nodding their heads showing that they agreed with the envoy.
