Medical and Martial God

King of the Snow Region: ”Impossible. The three Judicator Families are the Temple’s dogs. If Huang Quan were one of the Temple’s people, Yue Longxuan wouldn’t have dared to try and kill him.”

Wolf King: ”Then there’s only one possibility. Huang Quan is from the Eternal Kingdom but betrayed it for some reason. That’s why Yue Longxuan wanted to kill him.”

Meng Yinwan: ”From what Kristina and Yin Pinghu said, it’s clear Huang Quan isn’t from the Eternal Kingdom. Besides, the Restorer Alliance and the Eternal Kingdom aren’t the only ones in this world with War Gods above the Fourth Realm. Have you all forgotten Ye Xiu?”

At the mention of Ye Xiu, everyone in the group was stumped. The existence of Ye Xiu and Huang Quan didn’t fit their understanding of the world, nor did it seem logical.

King of the Snow Region: ”There must be a fourth superpower out there, aside from the Restorer Alliance, the Temple, and the Eternal Kingdom.”

Meng Yinwan: ”They’re probably like us, remnants of ancient lineages that have been hiding in the shadows.”

King of the Snow Region: ”That’s what I think, too.”

Everyone in the group felt Meng Yinwan’s analysis made sense; it was the only remaining possibility, and they all grew excited in an instant.

”That idiot Yue Longxuan did us a huge favor.”

”Ye Xiu has already promised to join forces with us against the Eternal Kingdom. Now that Yue Longxuan has provoked Huang Quan, the powers behind both of them will likely join the battle.”

”Haha, we originally lacked the confidence and strength to destroy the Eternal Kingdom, but now with the mysterious forces behind Ye Xiu and Huang Quan, we might just succeed.”

”Meng Yinwan, we can’t contact Huang Quan right now, but we can reach Ye Xiu. You must build a good relationship with him.”

”Ye Xiu is a prodigy—young, promising, incredibly powerful, and exceptionally good-looking. Meng Yinwan, why don’t you make a little sacrifice and give yourself to him?”

Meng Yinwan’s pretty face instantly turned as red as blood...

「Unparalleled Mountain Summit」

”Cough, cough...”

Kristina awoke from the brink of death. Glancing at the corpses strewn across the ground, a chilling fear rose in her heart. Luckily, I have the Life Totem in addition to the Golden Totem. Otherwise, I would have died at Huang Quan’s hands this time.

The Life Totem was the Medicine King Valley Totem.

After her fear subsided, Kristina wanted to report Huang Quan’s power and Yue Longxuan’s death to her father, but she discovered that the Eternal Kingdom’s unique mobile phone was missing. She got up and searched the pockets of Yue Longxuan and the others, only to find that their phones were also gone.

Am I completely cut off?

Kristina’s composure shattered. Without the Eternal Kingdom’s special phone, she couldn’t contact her people back home, nor could she reach out to the undercover members in various countries. And no one could contact her.

Right, the Martial Artist Forum!

Kristina suddenly remembered the forum. As long as she posted there, the members of the Eternal Kingdom hiding in various countries would take the initiative to contact her.

However, as soon as she opened the Martial Artist Forum, she saw a recent post by Huang Quan.

The title was: ”All Who Oppose Me Will Die.”

Those words made Kristina’s heart tremble. Is Huang Quan declaring war on the three Judicator Families?

Kristina clicked on the post and found it had no content, but the comments below completely shattered her worldview.

”Huang Quan is incredible!”

”Long live Huang Quan! Long live the King of War Gods!”

”No one in the world dares to defy Huang Quan!”

What a bunch of sycophants! Yet, it made Kristina realize just how formidable Huang Quan’s global influence was.

She made a post in the language of the Eternal Kingdom.

Title: ”I am Kristina.”

Content: ”Anyone in Xuanse, Nanjing, or on Million Gold Mountain, contact me when you see this.”

After editing, she clicked ”Post!”

Then, it was instantly deleted.

Kristina: ”...”

Only then did she remember that the Martial Artist Forum was created by Huang Quan.

I have to find Ye Xiu now! For the first time in her life, Kristina felt a profound sense of defeat and helplessness. She called Ye Xiu. ”Where are you?”

Receiving Kristina’s call, Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. My guess was right. The Golden Family dared to let Kristina venture out alone because she does have the Medicine King Valley Totem.

”I’ll send you my location,” he said.

Kristina abruptly ended the call. When she received the location, she drew a sharp breath.

It’s that far?

「Biluo Island, Sanyan Village」

Leng Yue was inside the house, absorbing Spiritual Energy to cultivate, while Qin Qing was outside, quickly skimming through the books she had ”borrowed” from the library.

Although her power had reached the level of a Second Realm War God through the Medicine King Valley Totem, her Martial Artist cultivation was still at the Eighth Grade Grandmaster level, so she wasn’t in a hurry to absorb Spiritual Energy. Her current priority was to uncover more of the Eternal Kingdom’s secrets and send them to Ye Xiu.

”This...”

At that moment, Leng Yue’s shocked voice came from inside the house.

Qin Qing hurriedly ran in. ”What’s wrong?”

”My Medicine King Valley Totem broke through,” Leng Yue said excitedly. ”It turns out you have to use Spiritual Energy to break through the Medicine King Valley Totem.”

”Really?” Qin Qing’s eyes lit up. ”Then we have to tell Ye Xiu this good news right away.”

”Okay!” Leng Yue immediately took out the Stone Mirror.

Ye Xiu was currently on the mountain, watching the members of the Ye and Long families toiling away. He paused when he received the message from Leng Yue, then quickly began to assimilate the Martial Prowess he had absorbed from Yue Longxuan’s group.

From the very first day of their martial arts training, Yue Longxuan and his men had absorbed Spiritual Energy, so their Martial Prowess was also a conversion of it. Although the nature of each person’s Martial Prowess was different, Ye Xiu could forcibly refine these different forms and fuse them with his own.

Just as I thought!

A moment later, Ye Xiu felt his Life Totem break through, and a hint of joy finally appeared on his face. I wonder what special abilities the Second Stage Medicine King Valley Totem has.

With no one to guide him, he could only rely on himself to figure things out. For instance, just before receiving Leng Yue’s message, he had been pondering the uses of the Earth System Totem.

Yue Longxuan was a Fifth Realm War God, and his Earth System Totem had already reached the Fourth Stage. The First Stage corresponded to the power of a Second Realm War God, the Second Stage to the Third Realm, and so on, with the Fourth Stage corresponding to the Fifth Realm.

”Divine Doctor Ye, it’s lunchtime!” Liu Dakang called out.

The toiling members of the Ye and Long families immediately grew excited. We can finally take a break! We can finally eat something!

”Today is the anniversary of my mother’s and grandparents’ deaths. The Ye and Long families will fast for the day. Let them continue working,” Ye Xiu said coldly.

The Ye Family: ”...”

The Long Family: ”...”

Hearing this, Liu Dakang and the hired laborers felt a surge of sorrow. No wonder Ye Xiu had been so subdued today, sitting alone on the mountain in a silent daze since he arrived.

”What are you looking at? Get back to work!” Liu Dakang shouted, lashing his whip across Ye Tianming’s back. ”This is all your fault! You killed Divine Doctor Ye’s mother and grandparents, and you forced him to be stranded overseas for ten years! I’ll beat you to death!”

He whipped Ye Tianming again. The other laborers were also infuriated. They had admired Ye Xiu’s character for a decade. Just yesterday, he had saved their lives and even forced the Ye and Long families to pay them a large compensation. To them, Ye Xiu was a true benefactor. They resolved to teach the Ye and Long families a harsh lesson, seeing it as a way to avenge him, his mother, and his grandparents, thereby repaying his great kindness.

”You... you people...”

Ye Tianming and all the members of the Ye and Long families were so angry their teeth itched, but they dared not do anything to Liu Dakang and the others.

Just then, the sound of motorcycles approached.

Ye Xiu looked up to see ten motorbikes wobbling down the bumpy road toward them. There were two people on each bike, twenty in total, and every single one of them looked fierce and menacing.
