The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Capítulo 1518: Chapter 1511: The Enemy Approaches

Demon Cloud Ghosts, in the Demon Cloud Ridge Cultivation Domain, are renowned across the entire North Continent, possessing incredible strength.

Since their rise to fame,

it’s hard to imagine them meeting their downfall one day.

Reaching the Golden Core Realm, the chances of dying are exceedingly low!

Sudden death usually occurs under two circumstances—

Firstly, dying unexpectedly while treasure hunting in some perilous place.

Secondly, falling due to a deviation during a breakthrough.

For Golden Core cultivators, these two scenarios are the most commonplace for their demise!

As for being killed by others, unless a Nascent Soul stage old monster intervenes, it’s almost impossible to be easily captured and killed!

But now,

the Demon Cloud Ghosts have both died.

This is too unbelievable for those present!

The most crucial point is that they were killed by someone!

“Could it be someone in the North Continent has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?”

Nearby, Jin Bo of the Independent Practitioner Valley took a deep breath and said with a heavy expression.

These words made the others’ expressions change dramatically.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent and heavy.

If someone has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and possibly from certain sects, then the North Continent might fall into a delicate situation.

For this reason,

it’s highly possible that the North Continent Cultivation World will see a small-scale reshuffle.

It may even lead to a large-scale conflict between the Demon Path and the Righteous Path!

“Could it be Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Heavenly Clothes Divine Sect, or someone from Yunmeng City, Swallowing Heaven Mountain?”

Fu Hentian furrowed his brows and said solemnly, “If that’s the case, the situation in the North Continent Cultivation World might still remain stable. But I’m worried it’s from other sects!”

At this time, Tang Ju turned his gaze back to the disciples of his sect.

“Where are Sect Master Leng and Sect Master Ma? Did they witness the person in action? Who is it?”

Upon hearing this, others turned their gaze to the young man.

“Elder Tang, Sect Master Ma, and Sect Master Leng have witnessed it, but the disciple hasn’t had the chance to inquire about the details!”

The young man frowned, then shook his head, replying again, “But it seems that Sect Master Leng and Sect Master Ma both were injured and are healing over there; they’ll come over soon!”

“Alright, wait for them to arrive!”

Fu Hentian nodded heavily.

No one objected.

However, Jin Bo, the Golden Core cultivator of the Independent Practitioner Valley, surveyed the surroundings of the Dead Spirit Pond.

Shortly, he exclaimed in suspicion, “There was fierce fighting here, and it’s all new! Could it be Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen?”

“No way! Judging by the battle traces and intensity, it’s not yet at our level!”

Tuoba Feng waved his hand and said sternly, “Let’s wait for Sect Master Leng and Sect Master Ma to arrive and clarify the situation before exploring the Dead Spirit Pond!”

Just as he finished speaking,

a whizzing sound came from not far away.

A group of eight figures sped over.

It was Guu Liangsheng, Leng Mei, Ma Zheng, and others.

The sudden change in the Dead Spirit Swamp startled them too.

Had it not been for Duan Hong and others needing healing, they would have entered together long ago.

Due to this sudden change, Leng Mei and others dared not enter recklessly.

After regrouping, they made their way into the depths of the Dead Spirit Swamp.

Previously, they had encountered disciples from Candle Nether Valley, realizing the significance of the situation.

“This Dead Spirit Swamp is vast, but where is our Little Brother?”

Seeing many people gathered around the Dead Spirit Pond, Xu Xiaoruo scanned the crowd but didn’t spot Lin Tian, exclaiming anxiously.

Leng Mei, Ma Zheng, Guu Liangsheng, and others exchanged glances as they looked at the fighting marks around the Dead Spirit Pond.

“Mr. Leng, Daoist Ma, and Mr. Guu, you all are here!”

Seeing this group appear, Fu Hentian and others descended from mid-air, greeting them.

They were the higher-ups of various sects in the North Continent.

Friction and conflict between sects were not uncommon.

But at the top levels, they maintained certain cordial relations.

At least,

on the surface, they acted this way without tearing each other’s faces.

Guu Liangsheng’s reputation as Holy Hand was not only famous in the East Continent but also renowned throughout the North Continent.

Fu Hentian and others were quite respectful to Guu Liangsheng.

“Fellow Daoists, what happened here?”

Guu Liangsheng looked around and finally asked in bewilderment.

“We just arrived too; we don’t know the specifics yet!”

Fu Hentian frowned and shook his head, then his expression turned serious as he said to Guu Liangsheng, “Guu Dao You, is it true that Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen brothers have died?”

Upon hearing this, Guu Liangsheng, Leng Mei, and others’ expressions changed slightly.

“They have indeed died!”

Guu Liangsheng took a deep breath and explained with a bitter smile, “Moreover, they were killed by a particular fellow daoist!”

“Who exactly?”

Tang Ju asked urgently.

The others also focused their attention on Guu Liangsheng and his group.

At this moment,

Ma Zheng stepped forward, cupping his fists towards Fu Hentian and others, and said with a serious expression, “It was a young man, very powerful! But it’s hard to judge exactly how strong, since we didn’t engage with him! At the time, Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen brothers were already in a fierce struggle with the swamp’s giant snake. They were outmatched, and only then did the young man intervene, killing the snake!”

“But one thing is certain, if I were to intervene, I might not be able to be a match for that young man!”

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes.

A young man?

Amazingly, it was a young man!

This astonished everyone.

Fu Hentian instinctively thought of the young Golden Core he encountered back on Nantian Mountain.

Could it be him?

Fu Hentian’s face shifted, revealing apprehension.

Guu Liangsheng and others also didn’t know Lin Tian’s background, and they frowned.

Right now, they were eager to know where Lin Tian had gone.

“Could Mr. Lin be down there?”

Guu Liangsheng’s gaze fell upon the Dead Spirit Pond, speaking in surprise.

The others couldn’t help but express shock.

Fu Hentian and others also directed their gaze.

“Mr. Lin?”

Upon hearing the name Lin, Fu Hentian felt some bad premonition arising, suspecting the powerful young man might be the one from Nantian Mountain.

“Does Guu Dao You recognize him?”

Tang Ju raised his eyebrows, looking at Guu Liangsheng.

Simultaneously, others couldn’t help but gaze at the Dead Spirit Pond, their expressions extremely grim.

If Lin Tian were inside, it meant the treasure might have already been taken.

“I simply recognize him! As for Mr. Lin’s specific background, I really can’t say!”

Guu Liangsheng smiled and shook his head, saying, “But as for Mr. Lin’s cultivation, claiming it to be Nascent Soul might be an exaggeration! In reality, his cultivation should be around the Fake Core Realm! However, there’s no denying Mr. Lin’s strength! If Mr. Lin is inside, wouldn’t it be better for all to wait until he emerges and then discuss whether to share the treasure peacefully, to avoid a big conflict which benefits none!”

Fake Core Realm?

Everyone’s eyes widened, showing looks of astonishment.

“Could it be that he used other means to defeat Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen?”

Ma Zheng raised his eyebrows and guessed aloud.

The others began to speculate in disbelief.

Guu Liangsheng, seeing this, could only try to persuade, “Mr. Lin’s cultivation, I have spoken truthfully, but his strength should not be judged like ordinary people! Why not wait for him to come out and hold a negotiation?”

“Humph, negotiation? Guu Dao You, the treasures in the Dead Spirit Pond are extraordinary! If we continue waiting, he might escape through another route!”

Ma Zheng’s face was somber as he stated, “Since he’s not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and given all of us here, could he really monopolize the treasures?”

His words immediately excited others.

“Dive in!!!”

Then Tuoba Feng of the Independent Practitioner Valley shook all over, his aura surging, shouting loudly.

The treasure of the Dead Spirit Pond is extraordinary; since it’s not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, such an astounding treasure must be seized!

Fu Hentian, standing by, hesitated; he wanted to persuade but finally sighed, following others to explore below.

Underground lair.

Lin Tian was still immersed in fusing Lantern Eye into Xiaotian’s evil weapon refining.

The fusion was already halfway done.

Just then, a rumble and boom echoed from outside the lair; his expression sank as he looked towards the entrance he sealed with an array: “The Dead Spirit Swamp has changed significantly, is someone coming?”
