Chapter 460 The Best Holy Sect
“Has he reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm?”
Wu Tianxie suddenly thought of this possibility, and his face suddenly changed.
As the leader of the Demon Cult, Wu Tianxie knew a lot more things than ordinary people. Although people who had reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm were extremely rare, they absolutely existed. There was one who was protecting a country in the secular world.
He had never seen anyone who was in the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm, but he knew that the most significant feature of pract.i.tioners who had reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm was that they could fly.
Ding Ning suddenly appeared in the sky in the middle of the night. Wu Tianxie certainly was scared. How he wished he could go as far as he could immediately.
But when thinking of Ding Ning’s age, Wu Tianxie denied this idea. “It is impossible. Masters who have reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm are all more than 100 years old. How can a young man be one of them? That’s too absurd.”
“He must have used some mysterious means or unknown treasures to send himself to the sky.” Wu Tianxie was indeed experienced and knowledgeable. Soon, he drew an inference that was the closest to the reality in his heart.
This inference fueled the greedy desire in his heart, and he was ravished with joy. “This Ding Ning is really surprising. He has not only the Spiritual Gu King but also the treasure that can send him to the sky. This trip is definitely worth it.”
While Wu Tianxie was calculating how to capture Ding Ning, the light spot in the bronze mirror that represented Ding Ning became lighter and flew toward the southeast.
“He wants to escape! No way. Go after him!”
Wu Tianxie ordered with boundless enthusiasm. He was not shocked but instead felt delighted.
When they were in the city, for fear of alarming the Seventeenth Department and the Bureau of Religions, he had to think about how to pin Ding Ning down silently. He did not expect that Ding Ning would choose to head for his doom and fly to the seaside. There is a road to paradise, yet he doesn’t choose to go; h.e.l.l has no gates, but he rushes into it. Wu Tianxie thought that he was destined to be rich this time.
“Yes, Your Honorable!”
The order cheered Nie Fan up. He immediately started the car and accelerated to go to the southeast, according to Wu Tianxie’s instruction.
“Xiaojin, have you found our target?”
While riding the Air Force Wing No.1 in the air, Ding Ning communicated with Xiaojin through the spiritual connection.
“Master, I found it. A black car is chasing after you in your direction.”
Xiaojin hovered in the air, and its sharp eagle eyes quickly locked the commercial vehicle that Wu Tianxie was in.
“That’s good!” said Ding Ning.
His lips curved a little, making a cold smile. For Ding Ning, the enemies lurking in the dark were terrible, but when they came to the surface, he would just kill them directly.
Just when he flew up into the sky, he noticed that the feeling of being peeped up appeared again. Ding Ning asked the Spirit-eating Insect King, but it told him that there was no wave made by the Gu insects nearby.
Ding Ning realized that his previous guess was correct. The curse of life of Zhai Fang was like a tracking mark, allowing people of the Demon Cult to track him wherever he went. This fact cast a pall over Ding Ning’s heart.
He tried to look inward, searching for the place where the curse was, but he just couldn’t find it. Ding Ning knew that in order to untie the bell, the person who tied it was required. He could only try to find a solution from the people of the Demon Cult.
Somewhere inside the city, in the large office on the top floor of a high-level club, a handsome young man with long hair stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He was admiring the night view of this bustling city before the large floor-to-ceiling windows. On the left breast part of his white robe was embroidered with a furnace pattern, and on the two sleeves were three circles of golden silk threads.
A woman wearing royal ladies’ dress in the imperial palace was standing next to him. Her clothes had the same furnace pattern, but on the sleeves, there were only two circles of golden silk threads. She made no secret of the admiration to him in her eyes and said softly, “Senior Brother Yan, don’t worry about it. Senior Brother Chao’s cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. Although his cultivation is unworthy of mentioning in our Holy Medical Family, there should have few people who can defeat him in this secular world. He must have been delayed by something. Just wait patiently for a few more days.”
The handsome man called Senior Brother Yan by the woman looked a little worried, and he said, “Junior Sister Qingyun, how can I worry about that trash Chao Xiong? In his sixties, he finally managed to reach the Sky Martial Arts Realm. And then, after more than ten years of cultivating, he reached the middle stage of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. Such a waste’s death is not to be regretted. It is just that our leader’s Spiritual Medicine Ring is in his hand. The ring stores the rewards that the Holy Medical Family gives to all the families who serve us in the secular world. Those rewards are not that important, but the point is that the Spiritual Medicine Ring is the most precious Storage Ring of the Holy Medical Family. I am the person who is in charge of everything about this trip. Once the Spiritual Medicine Ring is lost, how can I explain this to the elders of the Holy Medical Family?”
“Senior Brother Yan, please stay calm. The person who is in charge of our properties in the secular world has begun to inquire about the information, hasn’t he? I suppose that we can soon hear some news about Senior Brother Chao. Besides, there are prohibitions set up by our master on the Spiritual Medicine Ring. Even if someone gets it, he cannot open it. If he dares to break the prohibitions, our master will notice it. At that time, the person will have no place to hide.”
Junior Sister Qingyun comforted him in a soft voice.
“Alas, what you said is true. But after all, it is the first time that I go out to perform the task of the Holy Medical Family. If I make any mistake, it will inevitably provide others’ critics with a handle, which will be extremely detrimental to my future development.”
Senior Brother Yan still knitted his brows in anxiety. As the most outstanding disciple of the third generation of the Holy Medical Family, he lost the Spiritual Medicine Ring on his first trip of experience outside. It was a big blow for him, who had always been proud and arrogant.
Junior Sister Qingyun understood his concerns. She took a few steps forward and stood side by side with him, quietly blaming herself, “It was all my fault. To wait for me to get out of my meditation, you put off the date of going out. Otherwise, you would not have asked Senior Brother Chao to take the Spiritual Medicine Ring away to purchase the medicinal materials in the secular world in advance. In that case, you would not have been caught in a dilemma.”
“Why would you say that? It has nothing to do with you. I have misjudged Chao Xiong and believed him easily. With his cultivation, many people in the secular world will be his threats. However, very few people dare to offend the Holy Medical Family. So I don’t think he has been in trouble. But up till now, he hasn’t come to join us by the scheduled time. I’m sure that he must have been tempted by the Spiritual Medicine Ring and have escaped with it.”
Senior Brother Yan’s tone was icy cold, and he made the conclusion definitely clear. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his process of reasoning. But unfortunately, Chao Xiong met Ding Ning, who knew nothing about the Holy Medical Family. Even if Ding Ning had known it, he wouldn’t have shown any mercy to Chao Xiong, who wanted to kill him and grab the treasure.
“Ah!”
Junior Sister Qingyun covered her little red mouth in amazement and said inconceivably, “Although Senior Brother Chao has used up all his potential, he is also one of the few most outstanding listed disciples of our Holy Medical Family and enjoys a relatively good treatment. In the ring are the pills refined for those people in the secular world to build up their good physique and improve their health. It is unlikely that he will covet these pills, right?”
“Hey, you joined the Holy Medical Family late, so you may not know some things. If it were just those pills, Chao Xiong would definitely not be greedy, but as for the Spiritual Medicine Ring…”
Senior Brother Yan hesitated for a moment and sighed softly. “Oh well. There is nothing to hide from you now. The Spiritual Medicine Ring was originally not a treasure of our Holy Medical Family. An ancestor of the Holy Medical Family got it after he robbed and killed a disciple of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe hundreds of years ago. It is said that the ring contains a big secret. But it is a pity that after hundreds of years of study, ancestors of our Holy Medical Family haven’t yet revealed the secret. Then, from generation to generation, the ring has been pa.s.sed down as a Storage Ring.”
“Ah, the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe? Didn’t they get back on our Holy Medical Family?”
Junior Sister Qingyun covered her pink lips with her delicate white hands and exclaimed in surprise, her eyes flashing with horror. It showed how astounded she was upon hearing the things about the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe.
“In fact, among the Four Holy Gates, the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe is worthy of the t.i.tle of the best Holy Gate.”
It looked like that Senior Brother Yan was absorbed by the past. “I once heard my master say that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe lost the Spiritual Medicine Ring. The genius disciple who was robbed and killed by our ancestor seemed to be their young chief of their tribe. Thus, in a violent rage, they came to fight with our Holy Medical Family. It was a battle of h.e.l.l. Blood flowing like a stream, the b.l.o.o.d.y sight of the battlefield could even dim the sun and the moon. The Holy Medical Family lost heavily and made one retreat after another. They had to withdraw into the Sect-protecting Matrix, struggling hard. If the Holy-sword Villa and the Holy-G.o.ddess Tribe hadn’t come to our aid and forced the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe to retreat, I am afraid that the Holy Medical Family would have long disappeared.”
“Oh, my G.o.d! I have never known that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe could be so powerful. Did the other three Holy Gates have to join their hands to defeat the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe?”
Junior Sister Qingyun slightly shook her pretty head, showing an incredible look.
Very few people in the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe had come out to the secular world for centuries. Since she entered the Holy Medical Family late, she only heard of the history but had never witnessed it. What she knew was that the Holy Medical Family couldn’t get along well with the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe. But she was unclear why they couldn’t tolerate each other. She had never expected that the two countries ever had such an old hatred.
Senior Brother Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and dropped a bomb. “Defeating them was not as easy as you thought it to be. In fact, the alliance of the three Holy Gates could only rely on the Sect-protecting Matrix to maintain a stalemate with the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe. Still, the alliance was not powerful enough to exterminate it. The ancestor of the Holy Medical Family who killed the young chief of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe and grabbed the Spiritual Medicine Ring was chopped in half by a young man from the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe. The scene shocked every one of them on the spot because they all knew that the ancestor was a master in the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm! Since then, the three Holy Gates had secluded themselves from the outside world for a hundred years. Not until a hundred years ago when the Shenzhou Country fell into chaos did they come out to the world again.”
Junior Sister Qingyun froze from the shock of hearing of the history. With an expression of awe on her face, she said, “The young man from the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe could split our ancestor in half by one move. Which level of cultivation was he in at that time? I suppose that he had at least reached the peak level of the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm, right?”
“Our ancestor, who was killed by him, had reached the peak level of the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm.”
With a somber face, Senior Brother Yan continued, “The Holy-saber Ancient Tribe was a freak tribe. The realm couldn’t measure the combat capability of them. They were basically invincible among the people who were in the same realm as them.”
“How was that possible?”
Junior Sister Qingyun disagreed with such remarks. “Although masters in the Holy Martial Arts Realm are basically extinct now, the Four Holy Gates still have masters who had reached the Holy Martial Arts Realm. Maybe the young man who killed our ancestor was in the Holy Martial Arts Realm.”
“The battle happened hundreds of years ago. The truth has already disappeared in the long history. My master once said that he would rather believe that the young man who killed our G.o.d Martial Arts Realm ancestor was the invincible one in that realm than believe that he was a master in the Holy Martial Arts Realm.”
Senior Brother Yan really liked to see his Senior Sister Qingyun’s eyes that were filled with admiration and adoration, so he deliberately kept her guessing.
“Why?” As he had expected, Senior Sister Qingyun was insensible enough and questioned closely.
“It was because my master had confirmed that the young man was less than fifty years old at that time.”
After saying this answer, even Senior Brother Yan was shocked. He felt as astounded as when the first time he heard his master talk about this matter.
The young man who was less than fifty years old could be a master that had reached the Holy Martial Arts Realm. Was it possible? Therefore, the Holy Medical Family didn’t want to believe that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe had a master who was under fifty years old in the Holy Martial Arts Realm. It instead deceived itself into believing that he was only invincible in the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm.
There might be such a man who had reached the Holy Martial Arts Realm in his forties. What did it mean? It meant that the young man was probably still alive now. After all, the life of a master in the Holy Martial Arts Realm could be as long as 500 years.
Junior Sister Qingyun fell silent, but she felt greatly shocked at the bottom of her heart as if she had experienced raging waves. As a Holy Medical Family disciple, she had always been proud. She had always thought that the Four Holy Gates were on an equal footing. Thus, when she met others, her superior feeling to them had always been there.
But, the secret news that Senior Brother Yan told her today overturned her previous knowledge of the world, which also filled her with the awe to the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe.
Senior Brother Yan might feel restless now, so that he was in a mood for talking. He gave a deep sigh and continued, “Among the so-called Four Holy Gates, the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe had the most authoritative voice. In those years, the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe strongly advocated the preservation of the peace of the secular world. Thus, the other three Holy Gates had no courage to go against its will. On this condition, together with only a few Martial-arts G.o.ds, the founder of Shenzhou Country managed to sign the Peace Agreement with the ancient martial world. If it hadn’t been for the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe, the founder could never have achieved that easily.”
