Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

  Ye Yuan only saw the light now. "So, that's how it is! Then, are there any places nearby with transmission arrays leading to the Central Capital?"

  Since walking on foot took too long, they obviously could only go through transmission arrays.

  Lan Feng said, "Fierce Gale World's formations path is undeveloped. The tribes in the vicinity with transmission arrays leading straight to the Central Capital, as far as I know, there's only the Lan Family Tribe."

  Ye Yuan nodded his head and was not surprised by this. Since the Lan Family Tribe was left here by the previous Wind Emperor to guard the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, having a transmission array leading to the capital was very normal.

  "Since direct travel won't work, do a layover then. Can't be that there aren't mid-way transmission arrays, right?"

  "Of course there are. Some of the slightly larger tribes nearby have transmission arrays leading to the Level One region."

  "Alright then. You bring me to a tribe that's relatively easy to talk to. Hmm . . . should I disguise myself?" Ye Yuan asked.

  Ye Yuan's outfit and skin color had a clear difference from Lan Feng's. One look and they could tell that he was not a Fierce Gale World native. Ye Yuan naturally had this query.

  But Lan Feng said, "No need. The Level One Gale Region's gale winds won't be so strong like the outer boundaries. Everyone's living conditions are comparatively much better. Many of the noble family's juniors in the Central Capital are the same as master; all very refined people and won't be rugged like us. Master just has to change into Fierce Gale World's attires and other people won't become suspicious."

  Ye Yuan caught on and changed into the clothes inside Lan Feng's storage ring. His entire person's demeanor took on a new feel; decreased a few parts of elegant air, increased in some unyielding feel.

  The two people got their belongings in order and were just about to set off for the Level Three region when all of a sudden, a battle cry sounded.

  Chapter 353 - Saving People

  Human figures swarmed together, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.

  Five Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were currently in the midst of a fierce battle with a gigantic scorpion.

  The five martial artists were all late-stage Crystal Formation Realm; there were three Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, one Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm, and a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm.

  But very clearly, the peak Tier 3 giant scorpion's strength was above these five individuals.

  The five people fought while running. Their bodies all had injuries, appearing very pitiful.

  "Younger Sister Yan, you quickly bring the Violet Illusion Blood Ginseng back to the tribe! We'll hold back this damn fellow!" said a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm with the greatest strength as he pushed a girl out of the battleground.

  The one called Sister Yan was the only female among these five people. This Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm clearly wanted to protect her.

  "How can that do! This Crimson Tailed Scorpion is almost about to evolve to become a Tier 4 demonic beast. You guys are completely not its match!" Sister Yan said in near tears.

  The Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly leave! If all of us die here, what about Young Patriarch!"

  When Sister Yan heard these words, her face showed conflict as she stood on the spot at a loss on what to do.

  The young patriarch was the number one genius in the tribe. If he died because of her, then even a hundred deaths could hardly absolve her from the blame!

  But to let her abandon her comrades and flee for her life alone, Li Yan could not do it.

  That Crimson Tailed Scorpion's strength was very powerful. Her four companions were all dancing with death. Even Li Hong who was the strongest could not fend it off either.

  "AHH!"

  A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm was struck in the c.h.e.s.t by the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's giant pincers, flying out backward.

  When Li Yan saw this scene, she clenched her teeth and charged back in!

  When Li Hong saw Li Yan join the battlefield again, he could not help flying into a thunderous rage, roaring, "Li Yan! What are you doing?! Do you know that young patriarch's life and death is all in your hands?!"

  Li Yan held back her tears as she said with a stubborn face, "I'm not leaving! Big Brother Hong, you cared for me since young and concerned yourself with me. Asking me to leave you guys and escape with my life alone, I can't do it!"

  "You! I'm really exasperated to death by you! Be careful!" Li Hong swung his longsword, deflecting away the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's giant pincers, saving Li Yan's life.

  Li Hong gave a sigh and said, "Forget it. Come on back then. Meet the attacks carefully! The three of you restrain it. I'll circle around to it's flank and attack it; I'll strive to deal it a lethal strike!"

  . . . . . .

  The five people's full attention was on fighting the Crimson Tailed Scorpion and was completely oblivious that not far away, there were two people currently observing them.

  "Lan Feng, quickly go and finish off that Crimson Tailed Scorpion," Ye Yuan commanded Lan Feng.

  "Yes, Master!" Lan Feng acknowledged with a bow and vanished like a gust of wind.

  And right at this moment, Li Hong finally reached around to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's side, looking for a gap to attack the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's soft spots.

  But just as Li Hong finished making an attack, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's tail appeared before Li Hong like ghosts and goblins!

  Li Hong's expression changed drastically but wanting to change his move at this time was already too late.

  Li Yan and the rest also saw this scene and could not help but shout in despair, "Big Brother Hong!"

  The Crimson Tailed Scorpion's tail was its strongest weapon. But up till now, this was the first time it used this lethal weapon.

  The result was predictable!

  Li Hong was aware that he could not escape this catastrophe and shut his eyes painfully.

  At virtually the same time, Li Hong felt an extremely powerful force graze past his ear. He snapped his eyes open, then saw that Crimson Tailed Scorpion being smashed flying into the air!

  Whoosh!

  A strong breeze swept by. A blurry silhouette passed by his body, dealing yet another punch to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion in the air!

  Bang!

  The Crimson Tailed Scorpion was sent flying again!

  Lan Feng followed up once more and punched again!

  This time, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion finally ceased any movement. It did not even let out a squawk before being disposed of by Lan Feng.

  When Li Hong saw this scene, he was first flabbergasted, following that was wild elation!

  At the life and death juncture, he was actually saved!

  "Thank you very much for Senior's life-saving grave! This junior is Li Hong. These are my clansman. The five of us are people from the Cloud Prancing Tribe. I wonder which tribe senior came from. We'll surely pay a visit and thank this favor!" Li Hong brought Li Yan and the rest to bow towards Lan Feng.

  Lan Feng had the air of an expert currently as he waved his hand and said, "You all don't need to thank me. The one who saved you isn't me; it's my master."

  Li Hong was secretly taken aback. But verbally, he hastily said, "I wonder who is Senior's master . . ."

  To be able to use a Sea Transformation Realm expert as a servant, he surely had a powerful background!

  Lan Feng said coolly, "Follow me."

  Li Hong and the rest naturally did not dare to defy and kept in pace with Lan Feng.

  Before long, a 15 to 16-year-old youth appeared in their sights.

  This Li Hong was evidently somebody who had experienced the world. Seeing Ye Yuan, he hurriedly bowed, "This lowly one, Li Hong and clansmen, give thanks to Young Master for your life-saving grace."

  Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, "Just some s
imple help. Which tribe are you all from?"

  "Replying Young Master, we're from the Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong said respectfully.

  When facing Ye Yuan, Li Hong did not know why, but he actually felt a powerful pressure.

  Originally, he revered out of gratitude. But now, it was awe that came from the depths of his heart.

  This feeling was very absurd. Why would a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm sense pressure in front of a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm?

  This young man was not simple!

  "Does your tribe have a transmission array?" Ye Yuan asked directly.

  Li Hong was stunned. Clearly, he did not think that Ye Yuan would have such an inquiry. But Ye Yuan was their savior. He naturally would not hide the truth.

  "Where does Savior want to go? Our Cloud Prancing Tribe is the largest tribe in the circ.u.mference of 10 thousand miles. We naturally have a transmission array," Li Hong said.

  "I came out from the Central Capital to temper myself. Now that the trial period is already over, I want to return close to the Central Capital. I wonder if your tribe can allow for this convenience?" Ye Yuan casually made up a reason.

  Li Hong hesitated slightly before saying, "Not hiding from Benefactor, only the patriarch can make the decision to allow outsiders to use the transmission array. The few of us dare not speak rashly. But Benefactor saved us, which is the same as saving Young Patriarch. I believe that the patriarch will definitely approve. I wonder if . . . Benefactor can come back to the Cloud Prancing Tribe with us?"

  "Oh? Why do you say that?" Ye Yuan asked out of curiosity.

  "Young Patriarch is the strongest person in our Cloud Prancing Tribe's junior generation. Originally, his strength stood head and shoulders above all others with the air of a great general and was the idol and goal for our junior generation. But a month ago, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. He lost all appetite and shut himself in his room all day. Half a month later, he fell ill and was confined to his bed. Now, he's already at death's door. We set out on this trip in order to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng to refine for him the Blood Cleansing Pill. That's how we got into this hunt and almost lost our lives. Benefactor saved the five of our lives which is naturally tantamount to saving Young Patriarch's life!" Li Hong clarified.

  "Sudden temperament change? Lost all appetite?" Ye Yuan ruminated on the symptoms that Li Hong said.

  It was very clear that his old weakness surfaced again.

  "Yes. Is it possible that . . . Savior knows this illness?" Li Hong enquired.

  Ye Yuan diverted the topic by laughing and saying, "Since you guys are here for the sake of saving your family's young patriarch, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"

  Chapter 354 - Trouble Comes Knocking!

  Reaching the Level Three region, the gale winds were noticeably weaker.

  The human martial artists living in this region were mostly living in a tribal manner.

  Ye Yuan rode on a miniature spirit boat. After two days of flying, he finally arrived at the Cloud Prancing Tribe.

  Along the way, Ye Yuan poked around and got the information that the Cloud Prancing Tribe was very far away from the Lan Family Tribe and completely could not extend here. This made him set his mind completely at ease.

  "Young Master Ji, ahead is our Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong pointed a little way off and said.

  The Lan Family Tribe all knew Ye Yuan's identity. Ye Yuan obviously would not use his real name and walk around. Hence, he gave Li Hong a fake name.

  Of course, it could not be counted as fake either, because Ji Qing, this name, was also considered Ye Yuan's real name.

  Ye Yuan naturally saw the Cloud Prancing Tribe too, because this tribe was much bigger than the Lan Family Tribe, looking rather like a small town in the Endless World.

  Once they entered the tribe, a rather primeval aura reached his face. Ye Yuan had to admit that the Fierce Gale World's living conditions were indeed overly grueling.

  Li Hong and the others brought Ye Yuan straight to the patriarch's compound. But the scene before their eyes made them dazed. A foreboding feeling welled up in their hearts.

  Gazing over, white silk hung everywhere outside the compound. It was actually the manner of having a funeral.

  Li Yan's tears already flowed down uncontrollably. "Sniff, sniff, is Young Patriarch . . ."

  "Shut up! Young Patriarch will step into the Soul Sea Realm in the future and inherit the patriarch position. How can he possibly die?" Li Hong said through clenched jaws.

  In truth, he already knew too. Holding a funeral procession at this time, it was almost certain that something happened to Young Patriarch. It was just that he was unwilling to admit it verbally.

  Right then, seven to eight people suddenly walked out of the mansion. All of them were in mourner attire.

  The face of an elderly person at the front darkened when he saw Li Hong and company. He said to the group of people behind him, "Come, men! Take down these five rebels for me!"

  "Yes!"

  The seven to eight people behind him acknowledged right away and was about to come forward to arrest Li Hong and the rest.

  Li Hong's expression changed, and he said furiously, "Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us are loyal and steadfast to the tribe! When did we become rebels?!"

  Zhu Shan smirked coldly and said, "Loyal and steadfast? Harrumph! I think that you have ulterior motives! Young Patriarch was terminally ill, and we asked you all to go hunt for medicinal herbs separately. In the end, the other three groups all returned on time. Only the five of you took so long to come back, causing Young Patriarch to leave this mortal world! Li Hong, do you still dare to say that you're not rebels?"

  "What?! It's really young patriarch?! No way, impossible . . ." Li Hong muttered under his breath.

  Confirming the news of young patriarch's death from Zhu Shan's mouth, Li Hong's entire person was overwhelmed.

  "Humph! What's impossible?! Before the five of you set off, Master Dao Yuan repeatedly urged you all to absolutely bring back the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng within two days. But you actually delayed for a full two days! The Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng is one of the most crucial spirit medicines. Without it, Master Dao Yuan also can't make something out of nothing! In the end, last night, Young Patriarch, he . . ."

  Talking up to here, tears also coursed down Zhu Shan's old face. Clearly, he felt great pain towards Young Patriarch's passing.

  An elderly man was already filled with such bitter grief, let alone the others. Li Hong and the others already had tears flowing down their faces long ago.

  This Zhu Shan's excuse was impeccable from the very start. Even Ye Yuan was also hoodwinked.

  The lifesaving spirit medicine did not arrive. Zhu Shan arrested Li Hong and four in his rage. This was also human nature.

  After all, to the Cloud Prancing Tribe, Young Patriarch was their future, their hope.

  But right when tears were flowing down Zhu Shan's old face, a young man behind him sold him out.

  The others were still fine, but the excitement and exhilaration on the youth's face could not be concealed no matter what. To this end, he even lowered his head, fearful that others may discover it.

  It was just that this scene was captured by Ye Yuan.

  But Ye Yuan did not say anything much. This was other people's family affairs after all. He, an outsider, naturally could not poke his nose in. But it left a mark in Ye Yuan's heart.

  After all, his goal was still to borrow the use of the transmission array.

  Li Hong, Li Yan, and the rest took a blow from this news. Their minds were already in kind of a stupor long ago.

  "We're at fault, we're really guilty! It's all our fault that we didn't bring the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng back in time! Except . . . Elder Zhu Shan, can you let us see the young patriarch for one last time?" Li Hong said agitatedly.

  But Zhu Shan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Young Patriarch was our C
loud Prancing Tribe's future. You committed such a heinous crime against him and still have the face to see him? Aren't you all afraid of profaning him and letting him unable to get peace in death?"

  Zhu Shan's words struck the heart word by word. With him saying that, how could Li Hong have the face to go meet Young Patriarch a final time?

  Seeing that his words already took effect, Zhu Shan said to the people behind him again, "What are you all still standing there for? Quickly take them down! En? Hang on! Who are these two people?"

  Actually, Zhu Shan saw Ye Yuan and Lan Feng long ago. He only pointed the spearhead to Ye Yuan at this time.

  He did not pay heed to Ye Yuan. It was just that Li Hong they all actually brought a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm back. This made Zhu Shan rather fearful.

  Zhu Shan's words made Li Hong feel frightened in his heart. He only remembered that Ye Yuan was still by the side at this time.

  Causing Young Patriarch's death already made him unbelievably guilty. If he even implicated his savior, he would really find it hard to absolve his sins even with a hundred deaths.

  "Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us met a Crimson Tailed Scorpion on the brink of advancing in the Level Four gale region. Fortunately, Young Master Ji rescued us. I request for Elder Zhu Shan not to make things difficult for him." Li Hong hurriedly explained.

  Who knew that Zhu Shan's face changed and he said grimly, "You all are clearly aware that the tribe is facing troubled times right now. You actually still dare to bring outsiders over?! In my view, they are highly suspicious! Did you all purposely collude with outsiders to harm Young Patriarch?"

  "How can Elder Zhu Shan say such things? The five of us are staunch and steadfast to Young Patriarch. This point, Patriarch can stand witness! Young Master Ji and us really just met coincidentally! I hope that Elder Zhu Shan can let them leave!" Li Hong was taken aback as he said.

  "Humph! Young Patriarch's ailment is originally very odd already. The cause still hasn't been found out up until now. Young Patriarch just passed away last night, and you guys brought outsiders to the tribe. It's seriously too suspicious! The way I see it, it's still better to keep the two of them here! If investigations reveal in the end that they really have nothing to do with Young Patriarch's death, we'll naturally let them leave!" Zhu Shan said.
