Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1426: The Third Elder Arrives in the Capital City

The Medicine Sect arrived in Capital City much earlier than the Martial Champion had anticipated.

Early the following morning, the people from the Medicine Sect arrived in Capital City.

The first to reach Capital City was the Third Elder of the Medicine Sect, also known as Jeang Zier’s master.

The last time several members of the Medicine Sect were injured by Su Yang, only Wang Ding managed to escape.

But upon Wang Ding’s return, instead of rescuing his injured junior brothers, he ruthlessly killed them. Thereafter, Wang Ding hastily left Capital City to find his master, the Second Elder of Medicine Sect!

At the time, the Ten Great Sects were negotiating with Qinghe Academy, and even if Wang Ding went there, he couldn’t enter and meet his master.

He waited outside all along until the negotiation ended, then immediately ran to find his master, tearfully recounting how Su Yang had killed his fellow disciples.

The Second Elder of the Medicine Sect was originally hot-tempered, and upon hearing these words, he couldn’t contain his rage, roaring and vowing to come to Capital City to kill Su Yang and avenge them.

The rest of the Medicine Sect were also filled with indignation, all fervently intent on descending upon Capital City to mete out vengeance. After all, ever since the Medicine Sect became one of the Ten Great Sects, for many years, no one dared to lay a finger on their people.

Even the members of the other Great Sects would treat the Medicine Sect with courtesy. After all, everyone was very much in need of the three types of Elixirs that the Medicine Sect controlled.

Years of unchallenged supremacy had inevitably fostered a domineering nature among the members of the Medicine Sect. Now that they had heard that someone had killed their people, how could they not be agitated?

On hearing of this incident, the Third Elder’s first thought was about what had become of her newly accepted disciple, and she quickly inquired Wang Ding.

Of course, Wang Ding wouldn’t mention their plans to dishonor Jeang Zier. He firmly insisted that Jeang Zier was in league with Su Yang. Claiming that they intended to steal the Medicine Sect’s Elixir refining methods, they had lured them out, set a trap, and ambushed them, leading to their disastrous defeat.

This report made the Second Elder outrageously furious again. He immediately turned his anger towards the Third Elder, blaming her for not properly testing the character of her apprentice before accepting her into the sect, which led to the death of his disciples.

At that moment, the Third Elder refused to believe that Jeang Zier would do such a thing and immediately began to argue with the Second Elder. Before they even descended the mountain, the two of them had already started arguing, and later on, it even escalated to a physical confrontation.

The Second Elder was not only aggressive but also extremely powerful. The Third Elder, who had always been suppressed by him within the sect, couldn’t contain her anger any longer. The outcome of their confrontation was that the Third Elder was at a disadvantage and was injured by the Second Elder.

If it weren’t for the presence of many onlookers and acquaintances of the Third Elder from other sects who stopped the two, the Third Elder’s situation might have been even more troubling.

Frustrated and concerned about her disciple’s situation, the Third Elder left immediately, heading straight for Capital City.

She did not know the actual circumstances of Jeang Zier with Su Yang, nor whether Wang Ding’s words were true or false. As a result, she went around to inquire information and sort of understood the situation regarding Su Yang and Jeang Zier.

Although her queries suggested that Su Yang and Jeang Zier were unlikely to be despicable and shameless people, her worries only grew.

Because the people in Capital City had a unanimous view of Su Yang: he was decisive in killing, never hesitating or dragging his feet in his actions.

In that case, if Wang Ding and his people offended Su Yang, it’s quite possible Su Yang would indeed kill them.

And this is precisely what the Third Elder is most worried about.

She knows the Second Elder’s temperament very well; regardless of whether his disciples are in the right or wrong, if someone lays a hand on his disciples, it’s the other party’s fault. If Su Yang really kills his disciple, he absolutely won’t let it go easily, and this matter will become very troublesome.

The Third Elder doesn’t care much about Su Yang; what she cares about is Jeang Zier, the disciple she had not easily taken under her wing.

Jeang Zier is the most talented and best-natured girl the Third Elder has met over the years. She intends to take her as a direct disciple and pass on her mantle to her. Therefore, she values Jeang Zier highly.

However, once the Second Elder comes looking, and the situation is blown up, Jeang Zier will definitely get involved. By then, Jeang Zier will certainly be in danger.

So, after much consideration, the Third Elder eventually went to the Shen Family Courtyard in secret, planning to rescue Jeang Zier and take her away first. As for other matters, she doesn’t want to interfere, and she doesn’t have the ability to do so.

But, the Third Elder clearly underestimated Su Yang’s strength. True, she is a Terrestrial Immortal and the Third Elder of the Medicine Sect, holding a high position among the Ten Great Sects. However, in reality, her strength isn’t particularly strong.

This Third Elder is the type that is obsessed with concocting elixirs, and her skills are among the best in the entire Medicine Sect, but her prowess is quite ordinary. Moreover, she does not engage in scheming and doesn’t like to concern herself with affairs unrelated to her. As such, even though she is the Third Elder of the Medicine Sect, her influence within the sect is not strong, nowhere near the Second Elder who is renowned for his strength!

She had believed that there were no Earthly Immortals in the Shen Family Courtyard, thinking that bringing Jeang Zier out would be a piece of cake. To her surprise, she was discovered by Old Wang the Second as soon as she entered.

Before she could even find Jeang Zier, the Third Elder was directly stopped by Old Wang the Second.

Old Wang the Second is a formidable figure, capable of fighting toe-to-toe with Old Zhang the Eighth. Just fending off a strike from Su Liang proves the strength of this man.

The Third Elder’s strength is not much compared to that of Old Wang the Second. A sneak attack by Old Wang the Second almost caused the Third Elder a huge loss.

The Third Elder dodged the attack from Old Wang the Second and her expression instantly changed. Because, she realized that two more people had silently emerged behind her, effectively trapping her in the middle.

These two people arrived so silently that she hadn’t noticed them at all, which was enough to show that their strength was definitely not weak. In such a situation, it might be difficult for her to leave this place today.

”Hey, you old thing, what are you skulking about here for?” Old Wang the Second addressed her rudely. In fact, with his strength, he could advance to the Earthly Immortal Realm at any time. He had no respect for a Terrestrial Immortal of the Third Elder’s caliber.

The Third Elder frowned. After all, she is the Third Elder of the Medicine Sect, with an extremely high status in the sect; who would dare address her this way?

However, upon thinking of Jeang Zier’s presence here, the Third Elder ultimately gritted her teeth and held back, as she wasn’t here to cause trouble. As long as she could leave with Jeang Zier, nothing else mattered.

”I am here to seek someone,” the Third Elder said solemnly: ”Bring Jeang Zier out to me!”

”Jeang Zier?” Old Wang the Second gave the Third Elder a thorough look, then said cautiously: ”Old witch, what do you want with Jeang Zier?”
