Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1463 Ghost King San Yan

The Second Elder led the members of the Medicine Sect back in defeat. Once they returned to their quarters, everyone slumped despondently into their chairs.

Wang Ding was also brought back. He now stood in the center of the hall, his face deathly pale and trembling so hard that he could barely remain upright.

He had no idea what the Second Elder would do to him, but one thing was certain—after causing such a calamity, he could forget about living peacefully. In fact, he had lost even the thought of kneeling and begging for mercy; he knew his master’s temperament and methods all too well. Begging would be absolutely futile now.

No one could tell how much time had passed when the Second Elder finally raised his head. The moment his gaze swept across Wang Ding, Wang Ding dropped to his knees with a loud ”thud.”

He didn’t kneel to plead; his legs simply buckled out of sheer terror.

The crowd in the room turned to look at him simultaneously, their faces burning with incandescent rage.

Before the Second Elder could even speak, a man stood up and suddenly kicked Wang Ding in the back.

Wang Ding toppled forward onto the floor. The man stepped on his head and shouted angrily, ”Second Brother, what are you planning to do with this disciple of yours? Let me make myself clear first—this entire mess is his fault. He even went so far as to kill one of our own people from the Medicine Sect! If you try to protect him any further, I’ll be the first one to object!”

The others clamored in unison, all agitated and demanding that the Second Elder deal with Wang Ding severely.

The Second Elder cast a glance over the crowd, his eyes finally settling on Wang Ding. His tone turned frosty, ”Of course I’ll deal with him!”

”Master...” Wang Ding’s voice quivered as he tried to muster the courage to plead.

”Shut up!” the Second Elder bellowed, silencing him completely.

The man stepping on Wang Ding’s head roared, ”Second Brother, just kill him already!”

”Yes, kill him!”

”Kill him!”

Everyone shouted, seemingly eager to execute Wang Ding on the spot.

”Kill him?” The Second Elder’s voice turned icy. ”He isn’t yet a Terrestrial Immortal; killing him would only give the Law Enforcers grounds to act against us!”

The room fell silent. After a pause, the man barked angrily, ”Then what’s your plan? This is your disciple, and he’s essentially destroyed our Medicine Sect! You have to give us an explanation for this!”

The Second Elder furrowed his brows. He certainly wanted to deal with Wang Ding, but he couldn’t think of a better solution at the moment.

Suddenly, the Second Elder jerked his head up, casting a sharp look outside. He shouted, ”Who dares trespass in the domain of my Medicine Sect?”

The crowd collectively turned to look outside. By now, some of the more powerful Terrestrial Immortals in the room had also sensed figures approaching from outside.

”Second Elder, greetings!” A light laugh echoed from outside, and five men strode directly into the room.

Everyone grew instantly alert. None of them recognized the newcomers, but given that these individuals had managed to bypass the Medicine Sect’s barriers and arrive without anyone noticing, their strength was undoubtedly extraordinary!

Moreover, the most shocking detail was that all five of these men clearly had yet to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm!

The Second Elder’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous light as he coldly stared at the man leading the group. ”So, it’s the Ghost King San Yan. Why aren’t you staying in the east with the Jade-Faced Judge? What’s your purpose in visiting the Medicine Sect?”

If Lü Donglin were present to hear this, he’d undoubtedly be astonished. Ghost King San Yan was one of the Jade-Faced Judge’s top generals, his power far surpassing that of the Black and White Impermanence.

Following close behind Ghost King San Yan were four others—the Black and White Impermanence and Ge Kaiyang, together with a fourth member, a short, stocky figure whose identity was unclear.

Ghost King San Yan smiled faintly and spoke gently, ”Second Elder, I don’t mean to alarm you. Allow me to introduce this man—this is the grandson of my family head and his heir, Ge Kaiyang.”

The Second Elder glanced at Ge Kaiyang with a trace of disdain on his face. Of course, he had heard of Ge Kaiyang’s name, and he even knew about the several humiliations Ge Kaiyang had suffered at Su Yang’s hands.

Ghost King San Yan ignored the Second Elder’s discourtesy and continued with a pleasant smile, ”I’ve come here today to ask the Medicine Sect for a favor.”

The Second Elder’s expression turned arrogant. ”If you’re here to seek help from the Medicine Sect, you should adhere to our rules. Trespassing into our domain like this hardly seems like the respectful approach for requesting assistance!”

”We had no choice,” Ghost King San Yan said, still smiling. ”There wasn’t even a single person outside to announce our arrival, so we had to come in ourselves. Besides, I’m not asking the Medicine Sect to help us for free!”

The Second Elder’s face turned uncomfortable. Normally, someone would have been stationed outside, but since their catastrophic losses this time, there hadn’t been anyone left guarding the entrance.

The Second Elder took a deep breath and replied coldly, ”Not asking the Medicine Sect to help for free? Haha, you make it sound as though my Medicine Sect might actually need something from you!”

”Hahaha...” Ghost King San Yan laughed heartily, his voice resonating. ”That may have been true in the past, but now, I think it’s more likely than not.”

The Second Elder’s expression darkened, and his voice grew frigid. ”My Medicine Sect has no need to beg help from you Evil Heretics. Ghost King San Yan, others might fear the Jade-Faced Judge, but as one of the Ten Great Sects, the Medicine Sect has absolutely no reason to do so!”

”Second Elder, I encourage you to be more precise with your words,” Ghost King San Yan said with a stifled laugh. ”Once part of the Ten Great Sects!”

The implication was clear; he was hinting that the Medicine Sect no longer qualified as one of the Ten Great Sects.

The Second Elder’s fury erupted as he slammed the table and stood up. ”Are you insulting the Medicine Sect?”

”Heh...” Ghost King San Yan chuckled coldly as he stepped forward, standing before the Second Elder. In a low voice laden with confidence, he said, ”Second Elder, don’t you all long to kill Su Yang and his people, reclaim your place among the Ten Great Sects, and regain everything you once had?”

The Second Elder froze for a moment, and everyone else stared directly at Ghost King San Yan. Was there even a need to ask? It was their ultimate desire!

”What exactly do you mean?” the Second Elder asked in a deep voice.

”What I mean is...” Ghost King San Yan said as he casually seated himself before the Second Elder, smiling faintly. ”We can help you achieve all of that.”

The Second Elder’s eyes gleamed with intense light. He stared at Ghost King San Yan, clearly pondering whether the man’s words could be trusted.

Ghost King San Yan, on the other hand, looked utterly relaxed, sitting calmly across from the Second Elder, exuding an air of confidence and control.

”If you want to kill Su Yang and his people, that’s easy!” the Second Elder said coldly. ”The Jade-Faced Judge’s subordinates obviously possess the power to do that. But reinstating us among the Ten Great Sects, and allowing us to reclaim everything...”

The Second Elder cast another glance at Ghost King San Yan and sneered, ”Do you even realize what happened tonight? Do you understand what kind of situation my Medicine Sect is facing right now? Boldly claiming that you can help us regain everything—on what grounds?”
