"Lord Chief, Alchemist Nangong and Alchemist Xue..." An alchemist's face was covered with dust, panting heavily, unable to catch their breath.
"What happened to Qing Lin?"
Chief Chou picked up the alchemist by the collar, the latter's stuttering getting worse out of sheer fright at seeing Chief Chou's ferocious expression.
"Alchemist Nangong was killed in an explosion, and Alchemist Xue was severely injured; their pill furnace exploded."
Upon hearing this, Chief Chou's body jolted, and he staggered a few steps backward, his complexion turning pale as if all the blood had drained from his face.
Dead. Nangong Qinglin was dead from the explosion.
Behind him, Vice Chief Meng, upon hearing of the alchemy room explosion, also felt a sudden twitch in his eyelids and instantly understood the implication of Nangong Qinglin purchasing Black Medicine Powder a few days earlier.
