Chapter 108: Manipulating Xiao Ling

Wang Jian approached the enchained Zhang Fei, his eyes fixed on him with a scrutinizing gaze. "How did the Zhang Clan rise so suddenly?" he questioned in a stern voice, his arms folded across his chest.

Zhang Fei didn't hesitate to respond, "I possessed a rare alchemy recipe that I used to collaborate with the Dao of Alchemy Society," he explained.

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, a hint of suspicion on his face. "And where did you acquire this recipe? Did your clan possess it?" he inquired further.

Zhang Fei raised his brow as he heard this question. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes. I obtained it while scrounging my family's treasury."

"I see," Wang Jian smirked as he had achieved his motive.

He knew that Zhang Fei had lied to him to conceal the fact that he received it from his otherworldly master Yu Qing.
