Unrivaled Medicine God, page 241
However, there was still nobody who responded to Bao Sangui's ruthless words.
Courting a rebuff, Bao Sangui also knew that he could not do anything to the Tranquil Cloud Sect and could only plan on leaving with a dejected face.
"Reckon that it's a bunch of hillbillies from the countryside, right? Wu Fang City's might, you probably can't imagine it! Humph! Just wait for death, you all!"
Bao Sangui cursed and swore, then turned around and wanted to leave.
"Bao Sangui, why are you here?"
Bao Sangui was just about to leave but ran into a person straight ahead.
Seeing the arrival, Bao Sangui could not help being overjoyed!
"Brother Zihui, you came just in time!"
Wu Fang City's sphere of influence was very large. So the patrolling inspectors were also divided into levels.
Bao Sangui's middle-stage Soul Sea Realm strength was already considered not bad. But, he was just a second-class patrolling inspector as well. While this Xu Zihui in front of him was Wu Fang City's first-class patrolling inspector!
This Xu Zihui's Ninth Level Soul Sea strength was an exceedingly powerful existence when looking at the Northern Domain too.
With him and Xu Zihui joining hands, he had faith that breaking this Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array should be nothing difficult.
Seeing Bao Sangui's appearance, Xu Zihui frowned and said, "Sangui, why are you hurt? Within my Wu Fang City's sphere of influence, is it possible that there are still people who dare to attack you?"
Mentioning this, Bao Sangui said with an enraged look, "Who else can there be? It's this Tranquil Cloud Sect that popped out from god knows where!"
Seeing Xu Zihui, Bao Sangui's stomach full of grievance finally had a target to vent.
Hence, he described the process of his 'humiliation,' becoming more indignant as he talked.
"Brother Zihui, luckily, I ran into you today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to make a report this trip back! This Tranquil Cloud Sect has absolutely zero respect for my Wu Fang City! Today, you and I brothers will join forces, and we will bathe this Tranquil Cloud Sect in blood!" Bao Sangui said indignantly.
Bao Sangui said it enthusiastically. But he could not help looking over to Xu Zihui; he noticed Xu Zihui was currently looking at him with strange eyes.
"What, Brother Zihui? Is there anything wrong?" Bao Sangui finally discovered a hint of something wrong.
Xu Zihui patted Bao Sangui's shoulder and heaved a sigh, saying, "You haven't returned to Wu Fang City recently and don't know what major issue happened in the Northern Domain."
Bao Sangui was dazed and could not help asking, "Major issue? What major thing happened? Could it be . . . related to that earthquake and mountains shaking from a while back?"
This matter of the Fierce Gale World invading, at present, was still only limited to those top figures in the Northern Domain who knew.
Bao Sangui was always patrolling outside. Although he felt that the tremor that time was very seldom seen, he did not take it to heart either.
Xu Zihui nodded and said, "Actually, that earthquake was because the realm passageway between the Endless World and the Fierce Gale World had completely linked together. Now, Fierce Gale World martial artists already occupy the entire Southern Domain. This time, the three sects, Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and Profound Ice Sect, sent out rarely-seen, jointly-signed hero invitations to convene the Northern Domain's various major forces' chiefs to gather in Wu Fang City and discuss ways to deal with the Fierce Gale World."
"What?! S-Such a major thing actually happened?!"
Bao Sangui was taken aback with shock by Xu Zihui's words. This kind of thing like another world invading could be said to not be encountered for several thousand years to ordinary martial artists. How could Bao Sangui not be shocked?
Xu Zihui nodded his head with a grave expression and said, "Just looking at the present circumstances, the situation is very unfavorable to our Endless World!"
"Hiss . . ." Bao Sangui drew in a cold breath. His mind was somewhat in a disorderly mess.
Suddenly, he recalled something and asked Xu Zihui, "But what has this got to do with Tranquil Cloud Sect?"
Xu Zihui gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm here this time to issue a hero invitation to Tranquil Cloud Sect!"
"WHAT?!"
Bao Sangui really jumped up this time.
This news astonished him even more than another world's invasion.
A tiny sect with only First Level Soul Sea Realms, what could issuing them a hero invitation do?
Thinking up to here, Bao Sangui could not help sweating profusely.
"B-Brother Zihui, as far as I know, this Tranquil Cloud Sect only has two Soul Sea Realm experts. Among them, there's even an Alchemy King. Why would the three sects issue hero invitations to such a tiny faction?"
Xu Zihui forced another smile and shrugged his hands, saying, "You ask me, but who do I ask? The name list was drawn up by the three sects and is issued under the three sects plus Wu Fang City's name. How much of what goes on behind the scenes do you think that minor characters like us can understand? Such a major matter, even early-stage Divine Traversing Realm experts might not have the right to speak either!"
Bao Sangui was somewhat dejected as he said, "Then . . . Then the Heavenly Evil Sect's matters are dropped just like this? But . . . how should Third Young Master's side be given an account?"
Xu Zihui said crossly, "What kind of time is it already, still talking about Heavenly Evil Sect? If the Fierce Gale World attacks, even Wu Fang City might not be able to be defended. What the h*ll does a puny little Heavenly Evil Sect count as?! Moreover, this hero invitation is already given out. No matter how great Third Young Master is, he isn't greater than City Lord, His Excellency, either, right? Characters able to receive this hero invitation aren't who you and I can afford to offend!"
Bao Sangui opened his mouth but did not speak in the end too.
Yeah. Characters that could receive the hero invitation were not who a minor character like him can afford to offend!
"Fine then. This time, I, Old Bao, admit to my bad luck! However . . . since you're delivering the hero invitation, how about I go in together with you? I'm really curious right now just who in his tiny sect actually has such tremendous capabilities!" Bao Sangui said.
Xu Zihui nodded and said, "Alright. But you must remember, regardless of what kind of person the other party is, apologize first when you see the master! Otherwise, screwing up this errand isn't what you and I can afford to bear! The matter concerns the entire Endless World's safety. You and I are merely minor characters in this!"
Bao Sangui struggled for a bit but still nodded his head.
Chapter 495. Those Who Should Be Here Are Here |
"Wu Fang City's first-class patrolling inspector, Xu Zihui, specially came here to request an audience with Lord Ye Yuan under City Lord's orders, and to deliver the three sects and Wu Fang City's jointly signed and issued hero invitation," Xu Zihui came in front of the gates and called out in a clear voice.
After finished talking, Xu Zihui stood with his hands by the side, silently waiting for Tranquil Cloud Sect's response.
"Lord Ye Yuan? Who is that? Never heard before that the Northern Domain has such a character. Is he the Tranquil Cloud Sect's Sect Master?" Bao Sangui asked curiously.
But Xu Zihui shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Before coming, City Lord, His Excellency, personally passed the hero invitation to my hands, and told me this name Ye Yuan, making sure that I invite him cordially. As for who this Ye Yuan is, what he looks like, what kind of strength he has, I'm clueless."
The more Xu Zihui said so, the more curious Bao Sangui was.
But in his view now, this Tranquil Cloud Sect being so unbridled had the capital to be unbridled too.
A character that could let City Lord, His Excellency, personally instructed to invite cordially was bound to not be an ordinary person. Him meeting a rebuff was also something within reason.
Thinking up to here, Bao Sangui made up his mind with even more certainty to apologize properly in a while.
. . . . . .
Before long, a Crystal Formation Realm disciple welcomed the two people in.
Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui entered the main hall. On the left-hand side sat an old man and a middle-aged man. A youth sat on the right side.
Xu Zihui swept a glance at the few people's cultivations. The elderly person and middle-aged man were both Soul Sea Realm experts, while that young man was only Sea Transformation Realm Sea Transformation.
Seeing such a line-up, Xu Zihui's heart unwittingly thumped.
Could the ones City Lord made him find be these several people?
But what part could such strength play in the war between two worlds?
However, he also asked Bao Sangui before coming in. The strongest in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was merely First Level Soul Sea. Seeing these three people now, it was not too unexpected either.
Be that as it may, Xu Zihui did not dare to slight them and still gave a bow towards Luo Qingfeng and said, "First-class patrolling inspector under Wu Fang City Lord's command, Xu Zihui, pays respect to Lord Ye Yuan!"
"Second-class patrolling inspector under Wu Fang City Lord's command, Bao Sangui, pays respect to Lord Ye Yuan. That . . . This Bao didn't know the inside story earlier and offended Lord Ye Yuan. I hope that Lord Ye Yuan can pardon my offense!" Bao Sangui gave a bow too and said.
Luo Qingfeng's face was somewhat unnatural, but it was not because these two people identified the wrong person!
A Ninth Level Soul Sea and a Fourth Level Soul Sea bowing towards him seriously made him feel immense pressure!
But Ye Yuan gave him a meaningful look to calm down. Luo Qingfeng could only just do his best to keep a calm exterior.
"Haha. The two of you identified the wrong person. He is Ye Yuan," Luo Qingfeng forced a smile and said.
Honestly speaking, facing Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui, especially Xu Zihui, even if he did not deliberately give off the power of a Ninth Level Soul Sea, it still made Luo Qingfeng feel fidgety.
Such an existence could blot them out with just one hand.
The reason why the other party was standing here talking to them courteously was entirely that of Ye Yuan.
Once Luo Qingfeng's words were said, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were both greatly startled.
The person that City Lord, His Excellency, made him invite cordially was actually this young man who did not look older than 16 to 17 years old. His strength was not beyond Second Level Sea Transformation?
This . . . This was too absurd, right?
Xu Zihui was a little more dignified in the end and hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Xu Zihui has seen Lord Ye Yuan!"
Only then did Bao Sangui react and hastily gave a bow too. He gave an apology to Ye Yuan once more.
Ye Yuan waved his hand, indicating that this incident was considered over. But he asked Xu Zihui, "That hero invitation that you mentioned, what's the deal?"
Xu Zihui hurriedly retrieved a bright red invitation and handed it up. Ye Yuan opened it, swept a glance over, then closed it.
"You go back and tell City Lord, His Excellency, say that Ye Yuan can go, but the sect's elder is still imprisoned and is truly not in the mood to bother with other things. Gentlemen, please return," Ye Yuan said coolly.
"This . . ." Xu Zihui did not think that Ye Yuan would actually reply like this.
Xu Zihui was somewhat baffled, uncertain what Ye Yuan was doing here.
Wu Fang City Lord personally issued an invitation to invite a Sea Transformation Realm. This was such unparalleled glory. This boy was unexpectedly still putting on airs!
A sect elder of yours was actually even more important than City Lord, His Excellency's invitation?
Looking at this small sect, the elders were also merely Sea Transformation Realm too.
Could a minor character like this compare to the great matter of the Endless World's survival or downfall?
Xu Zihui was rather displeased in his heart. But, recalling City Lord, His Excellency's reminding him previously, he still forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
Furthermore, Xu Zihui was a shrewd person too. He had long seen that the actual person in charge of the Tranquil Cloud Sect was actually this young man called Ye Yuan before his eyes!
A Second Level Sea Transformation was actually so assuming in front of two Soul Sea Realms. And those two people still had a look of not a single grumble. This youth called Ye Yuan was indeed not that simple.
Actually, seeing Ye Yuan being so assertive, Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple's hearts were both thumping.
It was not that they were unconcerned about Mei Zhen's safety. It was just that their Tranquil Cloud Sect seriously did not have much capital to bargain within the Northern Domain.
Experts roamed like clouds here. A random one that came could wipe out the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
"Zihui is slow-witted. Can Lord Ye Yuan express things clearly? Not afraid of Lord Ye Yuan laughing, but City Lord, His Excellency, repeatedly exhorted before coming to definitely invite you over. But now . . ." Xu Zihui revealed a difficult intent.
When he was talking, Xu Zihui could clearly sense Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple's nervousness. But this young man called Ye Yuan actually treated him like air!
Such composure was absolutely not feigned!
It was just that Xu Zihui could not figure out even after racking his brain just where this young man's confidence lie!
Ye Yuan shot Xu Zihui a nonchalant glance and was suddenly a little clearer as he said, "Since that's the case, both of you stay here for a few days first. After this Ye welcomes back the sect elder, I'll go together with the two of you."
"This . . . The meet will be happening in a couple of days. Delaying several days like this isn't good, right?" Xu Zihui said depressedly.
He discovered that in front of this Sea Transformation Realm, he actually could not grasp the slightest initiative to speak.
Right at this time, another voice sounded out again.
"Myriad Sword Sect's envoy, Fu Zonghu, requests an audience!"
Ye Yuan was stunned, then became delighted right away, "Heh heh, really just so happened that what should come, came together today. Saved quite a bit of trouble too. Brother Xu, since this Myriad Sword Sect envoy came, it can be assumed that I can leave with you guys today."
Xu Zihui was uncertain what it meant. Why did it strike up a relation with Myriad Sword Sect too?
But that name Fu Zonghu, Xu Zihui had heard it before. When he heard this voice earlier, he was startled in his heart, and his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan underwent a transformation once more.
This Fu Zonghu was a Myriad Sword Sect's Divine Traversing Realm expert!
What matters actually troubled his grand presence?
Even though the Northern Domain had many Divine Traversing Realm experts, the status of Divine Traversing Realm experts was exceedingly high. They generally did not show face easily.
One had to know that Divine Traversing Realm experts had sufficient strength to establish a sect!
Chapter 496. Unrivaled |
Returning to the Tranquil Cloud Sect once again, Mei Zhen truly felt like a lifetime had passed.
It was only after being detained by the Myriad Sword Sect that Mei Zhen know that the ones who nearly caused the Tranquil Cloud Sect's destruction back then was actually this Myriad Sword Sect!
Him reporting the name of his sect was simply sending sheep to the tiger's maw.
Those few days when he was just detained, his essence energy was sealed, and he did the lowest chores in the Myriad Sword Sect. Whatever dirty work or tiring work would be done by him.
He originally thought that he would be tormented to death like this very soon. Who knew that after several days, the Myriad Sword Sect people not only removed his essence energy seal, they even provided good food and drinks for him.
Although he had no way to leaving the Myriad Sword Sect, compared to the days before, it was simply immortal-like.
All the way until a couple of days ago, Fu Zonghu found him and told him with a mild tone that he was going to send him back to the sect personally.
Mei Zhen first thought that he heard wrongly. When he confirmed that this was not a hallucination, it brought him great agitation.
Furthermore, this in front of him was a Divine Traversing Realm expert!
Fu Zonghu actually used a consulting manner of speaking when talking to him.
What was this playing at?
But on this trip, Fu Zonghu did not say why they released him back either.
Although he was very courteous when talking, upon mention of this matter, he was always vague.
But Mei Zhen did not haggle over this either. To be able to return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he was already very satisfied.
"Grand Elder! Sect Master! You . . . You guys actually came back!"
When Mei Zhen saw Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng, he was stunned speechless.
These two people were thrown in jail. With the Tranquil Cloud Sect's strength, how could they possibly be rescued?
Even if Ye Yuan's present combat strength was astonishing, it was not possible to charge all the way to the Heavenly Sky Sect's Towering Peak either and rescue these two people, right?
"Huhu, same as you, we could return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect all due to Ye Yuan's credit!" Skymaple said with a faint smile.
"Ye . . . Ye Yuan!"
It was really Ye Yuan!
But how on earth did he accomplish it? Mei Zhen was even more perplexed.
"Alright. We'll talk in detail later. There are still guests around," Skymaple said smilingly.
Mei Zhen was dazed, then nodded his head and retreated to one side.
There were still Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie standing behind Fu Zonghu. They were familiar with the situation here, so Fu Zonghu brought them along.
Fu Zonghu came before Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "You're Ye Yuan, right? Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! This Heavenly Evil Sect's matters, I heard about it. You actually directly killed the First Level Soul Sea Realm Mao Yuanji with Second Level Sea Transformation Realm strength! Truly inconceivable!"
