Medical and Martial God

The man Kuroki Suzu called Senior Mitsui was the bald old man, Mitsui Yan.

”Why are you asking about this?” Mitsui Yan asked coldly. He despised weaklings like Kuroki Suzu.

”I’m just curious,” Kuroki Suzu said. ”Ye Liuyun and those two ghosts with him are also very curious. If they don’t get an answer, they’ll definitely come looking for us. It’s best if we all know the answer now. That way, when they come asking, we can tell them the truth and maybe save our lives.”

Mitsui Yan and the others agreed that she had a point.

”According to our Master,” Mitsui Yan said, ”a Xuanse Martial Artist named Ye Daoxuan, codenamed Pojun, crossed over to Sang Jing. With a single sword, he swept through the thirty-six islands of Sang Jing by himself. Our Master was severely injured by him, and his wife and children were all killed.”

”When did this happen?” Kuroki Suzu asked, wanting to get the details straight before reporting back to Ye Xiu.

”Before the last Mist Chant Martial Meeting,” said Mitsui Yan.

”Who is this Ye Daoxuan to be so formidable?” Kuroki Suzu asked.

Mitsui Yan answered every question. ”He’s from the Xuanse Ye Family. He is the father of Ye Tianming, the current head of the Ye Family in Xuanse’s Yunluo City, and the great-grandfather of today’s most sought-after Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu. It’s said that Ye Daoxuan was a member of an organization called Sha Po Lang, which had two other leaders codenamed Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf.”

Kuroki Suzu felt like she had accomplished something important. She had never imagined that Hachi’s hatred for the Xuanse people was tied to Ye Xiu’s great-grandfather.

So, she discreetly sent the recording to Ye Xiu.

At that moment, Ye Xiu, Ye Liuyun, and Chloe had just gotten into a car, preparing to head to Ye Xiu’s mansion in Tamwood City. After listening to the recording Kuroki Suzu sent, Ye Xiu was stunned. ”Ye Daoxuan? The Ye Family actually produced such an incredible figure?”

”I’ve never heard of anyone named Ye Daoxuan,” Ye Liuyun said.

Chloe, who was driving, remarked, ”According to Mitsui Yan, Ye Daoxuan swept through Sang Jing before the last Mist Chant Martial Meeting, which was sixty years ago. Judging by Hachi’s age, he should be over a hundred now. Sixty years ago, he would have been in his forties or fifties. Hachi’s strength back then was definitely not what it is today. If Ye Daoxuan couldn’t even kill the Hachi of that era and only managed to severely injure him, his own strength couldn’t have been that impressive.”

Ye Xiu ignored Chloe’s comment and took out his phone, logging into the Restorer Alliance group chat as Huang Quan. He got straight to the point, asking, ”Who knows about Sha Po Lang and Ye Daoxuan?”

The members of the Restorer Alliance were in the middle of discussing troop deployment to Biluo Island and were annoyed by Huang Quan’s sudden interruption.

The King of Snow Region replied, ”Sha Po Lang is a trio of hermits, like Yan Long, who fought against the three major Judicator Families. The three members are Seven Killings Mo Qingdi, Pojun Ye Daoxuan, and Greedy Wolf Tang Buyi. Sixty years ago, they were already Invincible Fifth Realm War Gods. Together, they even managed to kill an expert from one of the three great Judicator Families who had just entered the Sixth Realm.”

Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. Judging by Ye Tianming’s age, Ye Daoxuan must have been in his thirties sixty years ago. To be an Invincible Fifth Realm War God at such a young age... Ye Daoxuan’s talent was truly impressive.

As Huang Quan, he typed, ”Is Ye Daoxuan still alive?”

Meng Yinwan responded, ”Unlikely. If he were still alive, he would have intervened when Ye Xiu came for revenge against the Ye Family.”

I thought so too, Ye Xiu mused, but then he suddenly remembered something. Next to the Extreme Abyss in Hundred Flowers Valley, there’s a place called Seven Killings Valley. Er Gouzi tried everything to lure me there, wanting to use something inside to kill me. Could the ’Seven Killings’ of Seven Killings Valley be connected to the ’Seven Killings’ of Sha Po Lang? If so, Ye Daoxuan might be in seclusion there. That would explain why he didn’t stop my revenge against the Ye Family—he’s probably in the valley, completely unaware of what’s happening in the outside world.

He typed again, ”What do you all know about Hachi?”

Meng Yinwan answered, ”Hachi is from Sang Jing. He was also initially a hermit fighting against the three major Judicator families. But for some unknown reason, right before the last Mist Chant Martial Meeting, Hachi secretly colluded with them. When Sha Po Lang found out, Ye Daoxuan went to Sang Jing alone and waged a bloody slaughter across its thirty-six islands, but Hachi reportedly survived.”

The King of Snow Region added, ”Hachi possesses a very sinister ability. They say he can’t be killed.”

What?

Ye Xiu immediately exited the group chat and said to Ye Liuyun and Chloe, ”You two go on ahead. I have something to take care of.”

With that, he opened the car door, jumped out, and raced to the Tarvasana Hotel.

Sure enough, Hachi’s corpse was gone.

What kind of ability does Hachi have? He can resurrect even after his head was blown to bits!

Ye Xiu sent a text message to Kuroki Suzu: ”You can come back to the hotel now!”

According to what Meng Yinwan said, Hachi seized control of the Tiansha Association and rushed to Tamwood City, but his target probably wasn’t the three Judicator Families. Instead, he’s likely here to deal with their enemies. In that case, Hachi and his dozens of followers and disciples must die!

...

Upon receiving Ye Xiu’s message, Kuroki Suzu asked Mitsui Yan, ”Senior, where should we go now? We can’t just keep hiding here.”

Mitsui Yan thought for a moment. ”The ghost can find us no matter where we hide.”

Kuroki Suzu seized the opportunity. ”In that case, let’s go back to the hotel. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Ye Liuyun would never expect us to return.”

Mitsui Yan’s eyes lit up. ”That makes sense! Let’s head back now!”

Thus, the large group swaggered back to the hotel, only to be scared out of their wits.

Ye Xiu was standing in the shadows, watching them with a smile.

”Kuroki Suzu, is this what you call the safest place?” Mitsui Yan demanded angrily before turning to flee.

The others also scattered and tried to escape.

But it was too late.

Ye Xiu waved his hand, unleashing a torrent of sword light that roared through the air. The next moment, Mitsui Yan and all of Hachi’s followers and disciples were reduced to mincemeat.

Seeing this, Kuroki Suzu’s group from the Tiansha Association decisively stopped running.

”Thank you for getting rid of them for me,” Kuroki Suzu said, walking over and bowing to Ye Xiu. She then asked, ”The Tiansha Association is very weak, so we won’t be joining the fray on Eternal Island. What are your thoughts?”

Ye Xiu certainly couldn’t agree with that. ”You should still go and join in on the fun. You might gain something from it.”

”Oh, all right then!” Kuroki Suzu nodded and then timidly asked, ”What about Ye Liuyun’s ghost?”

Ye Xiu almost burst out laughing. Kuroki Suzu was a First Realm War God who wasn’t afraid to kill, yet she was terrified of ghosts.

He replied mysteriously, ”The King of Hell was thirsty, so I sent him down to make some tea.”

”Oh, okay!” Kuroki Suzu finally let out a sigh of relief. ”We’re friends. Please tell Ye Liuyun not to come looking for me.”

”Sure!” Ye Xiu nodded and left. He was afraid he would burst out laughing if he stayed any longer.
