Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 709: Chapter 708: Patriarch of the Medical Saint Sect

After all matters had been resolved, the other people descended the mountain, while members of the Divine Farmer Sect remained. After all, they had invited Su Yang.

Su Yang took a stroll around the Medical Saint Sect and finally discovered a statue in a small cave behind the mountain. According to the members of the Medical Saint Sect, this statue was of the Patriarch of the Medical Saint Sect, who had single-handedly established the sect.

This made Su Yang even more astonished because he felt an aura on the statue that was exactly the same as the one on Gongye Liang. The power within Gongye Liang’s body was identical to the aura of this statue.

However, the aura of the statue had scattered, leaving behind only some residual presence.

And the same phenomenon was present in Liao Yuxuan. The power within Liao Yuxuan’s body was the same as the power on the sculpture of the Three-faced God Monarch that Su Yang had previously seen; they were completely identical.

This was very strange. Why did both individuals possess the same power as these statues?

Moreover, this statue was the Patriarch of the Medical Saint Sect, so what was actually going on?

Su Yang approached the people of the Medical Saint Sect and asked them in detail about the events that had occurred in the sect, such as why the Medical Saint Sect had suddenly risen to power.

The account given by the members of the Medical Saint Sect was unanimous: the rise of the Medical Saint Sect was all due to Gongye Liang. Gongye Liang had somehow found the Medical Saint Sect’s lost lineage, which had enabled the sect to improve in various aspects, leading to their ascension to power.

Moreover, ever since then, the true ruler of the Medical Saint Sect was no longer Gongye Xuan but his son, Gongye Liang.

Most importantly, it was clear to everyone that Gongye Liang no longer showed any respect for Gongye Xuan. Gongye Xuan was very deferential in front of Gongye Liang, with absolutely no sense of a father-son relationship, but instead, it felt more like that of master and servant.

Hearing this, Su Yang furrowed his brows. He had previously severely injured Gongye Xuan, who was near death, and when Gongye Liang appeared, he didn’t even glance at Gongye Xuan. This wasn’t normal for a father-son relationship at all.

Gongye Liang was shrouded in too many mysteries, and Su Yang didn’t know how to unravel them. However, it was obvious that something special had occurred to Gongye Xuan, causing the situation to be as it was.

Even the fact that Gongye Liang had found the Medical Saint Sect’s lineage and upgraded the sect’s strength must have been deliberate. And all of this could possibly be related to the Medical Saint Sect’s Patriarch!

”Where is your Medical Saint Sect’s Patriarch now?” Su Yang inquired.

”The Patriarch, of course, has become an Immortal!” declared an Elder proudly.

Su Yang frowned and gave the Elder a glance. Startled, the Elder shuddered and then remembered that he was a prisoner, hurriedly explaining, ”The Patriarch became a Terrestrial Immortal long ago. After founding the Medical Saint Sect and greatly enhancing its reputation, he went overseas with friends in quest of Immortals, and since then, he never appeared again. Some say the Patriarch has ascended to Immortality, left the worldly realm, and now lives freely beyond the heavens!”

Su Yang didn’t speak again. Despite the Elder’s verbose explanation, it essentially conveyed one message: After going on a sea voyage in search of Immortals, their Patriarch never appeared again. In other words, he went missing after that voyage.

”How many years has it been since your Patriarch went on this sea voyage in search of Immortals?” asked Su Yang.

”Seven or eight hundred years!” replied the Elder.

”Seven or eight hundred years?” Su Yang’s frown deepened, if it really was the work of the Medical Sage Sect’s Patriarch. What could the Patriarch, who had disappeared for seven or eight hundred years and had suddenly appeared stirring up so much trouble, possibly want?

The affairs of the Three-faced God Monarch and those of the Medical Sage Sect seemed like they could be attributable to the same category. But who was this Three-faced God Monarch? Could it be that, like the Medical Sage Sect’s Patriarch, this was also a Terrestrial Immortal who had disappeared for many years?

”Have you heard of the Three-faced God Monarch?” Su Yang asked.

Everyone shook their heads, even the people from Divine Farmer Sect had not heard of him.

Su Yang gave up, realizing that not many people knew about the Three-faced God Monarch. It appeared he would have to do some proper investigating.

Su Yang searched again but could not find any other valuable clues and thus smashed the so-called Patriarch’s statue.

He had nothing against the statue, but the aura on it was the same as the one on Gongye Liang, and that made Su Yang cautious. If this statue was the same as the Three-faced God Monarch’s statue, then smashing it sooner was probably for the best.

As for the people of the Medical Sage Sect, they all pretended they hadn’t seen anything. With such an incident, and Gongye Liang abandoning them, what righteousness could they speak of at this moment? Surviving was the most important thing.

Elsewhere, within a forest three hundred li from the Medical Sage Sect, a rift suddenly appeared in the void, and Gongye Liang and Liao Yuxuan tumbled out from the crack.

They looked extremely disheveled, especially Liao Yuxuan, who was covered in blood, far more injured than before.

Liao Yuxuan staggered to his feet, gritted his teeth, and roared, ”Su Yang, I will never coexist with you!”

Gongye Liang also got up, his injuries also seemed serious. But the problem was, he hadn’t been so badly injured, so how had he become like this?

Taking a deep breath, Gongye Liang said solemnly, ”Neither of us has recovered our full strength, and using such a space-fleeing technique to escape has really drained our vital blood. Luckily, this Su fellow hasn’t reached the realm of a Terrestrial Immortal, so he definitely can’t catch up to us. Otherwise, we probably would have been in even more danger this time!”

Liao Yuxuan clenched his teeth, his face ashen with extreme fury.

”Brother Liao, your understanding of this Su Yang is really too limited, isn’t it?” Gongye Liang frowned, ”Even if we joined forces, we wouldn’t be his match. Why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s fortunate I had a contingency plan, otherwise, we’d probably both be dead!”

”I didn’t know either!” Liao Yuxuan said helplessly, ”His strength was very weak before, I don’t know how he suddenly got to this point. Before this, he hadn’t even entered the Integration Realm!”

”When was before?” Gongye Liang asked.

”Less than two months ago,” responded Liao Yuxuan.

”What?” Gongye Liang was dumbfounded. Less than two months ago, he hadn’t entered the Integration Realm. Yet two months later, he was able to beat the two of them to the point of fleeing in panic. If not for what Liao Yuxuan said, he truly would have found it hard to believe.

”Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Gongye Liang frowned, ”He hadn’t entered the Integration Realm two months ago, and now he has this level of strength? What nonsense are you talking about?”
