That figure was Song Shu waving a dagger above her head as she charged at the Alchemy Master on the ground.
The Alchemy Master heard this, but he didn't worry at all since he knew that this little girl couldn't do a single thing to him, not to mention that there was Elder Fu presiding over all of this. Rather he was hoping that Song Shu would come even closer so he could cause an "accident".
Now that things had been pushed this far, the only thing that he could grasp at was his usefulness to the Alchemy King Hall as the Alchemy Master. Over the years, while the Alchemy Tower had slowly degraded, he had always found ways to increase the payments they made to the Alchemy King Hall which had earned him quite a bit of merit with his family in the upper realm.
