Upon hearing his son's agonizing screams, Old Fang nearly overturned his medicine cauldron, ruining the concoction inside.
This was precisely the outcome Yu Lie had aimed for!
Yu Lie, being young and less experienced in alchemy compared to Old Fang, knew that to outdo his opponent, he had to resort to unconventional tactics.
As for whether this was appropriate or not, Yu Lie merely sneered inwardly as he looked at Old Fang's pale face:
"Evil must be met with evil."
With this thought, Yu Lie quickly lowered his head to tend to his own cauldron, adding stabilizing herbs to prevent it from exploding.
Otherwise, he would become a laughingstock.
Across from him, Old Fang's voice boomed: "Quickly! Save my son!"
Old Fang's eyes were wide with panic as he stared at his screaming son, Fang Wumu, and shouted at the surrounding disciples.
The commotion drew everyone's attention, and all the disciples confirmed that the person writhing in pain on the ground was indeed Old Fang's adopted son.
Some were shocked, some clicked their tongues in disapproval, and others sneered at Yu Lie's actions.
