The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

645: Chapter 641: Means 645: Chapter 641: Means Ruins Ridge, the entrance to the valley.

As the array broke, the mountain forest opened up, and the dense entrance bushes fell like straw, revealing a path of bluestone slabs that extended into the depths, its end unknown.

The mountain breeze swept through, carrying with it an ancient, desolate breath that surged from within the valley.

Everyone at the entrance of the valley looked up in the direction of the valley, their faces filled with shock and burning anticipation.

However, nobody dared to move rashly.

This place was an Ancient Cultivation City, and without thinking, one knew that it would be extremely perilous.

The direction in which the bluestone slabs extended was still the Ancient Wood Wolf Forest, towering into the sky.

In the distance, the mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, barely visible were shadows like giant beasts, exuding a sense of mystery and oppression.

Originally, the sudden loud noise had left many people stunned for a good while, but now they had come to their senses, and were all itching to start moving.

Song Zidong’s laughter-filled words had just landed when someone spoke up, joyfully saying, “The Ancient City Protection Array, notoriously dangerous, now that the array is greatly damaged and a gap has appeared, this adventure into it will surely yield no shortage of treasures, making our journey worthwhile!”

Upon hearing this, people on both sides nodded in agreement.

Such ancient grounds are rarely seen, and now was a prime opportunity to enhance one’s cultivation and strength.

“Brother Huang, what do we do now?

Shall we go in?”

On the side of Zhenxian Sect, a young disciple looked towards Huang Hongfeng and asked.

The other Zhenxian Sect disciples standing behind Huang Hongfeng also looked towards him, and at the same time, they couldn’t help but cast a wary glance at the disciples from Wind Demon Castle opposite them.

Huang Hongfeng’s brow furrowed as he lifted his head to look at Song Zidong, his face showing hesitation.

Even though the array protecting the entrance to Ancient Wind City was badly damaged, the dangers inside were certainly numerous, and nobody wanted to be the first to rush in and be the proverbial sacrificial bird.

“Haha…

Huang Hongfeng, are you scared?

It’s alright if you are, I actually have a good suggestion!”

Song Zidong didn’t forget to mock Huang Hongfeng, sneering as he spoke.

The righteous and demon paths have always been like fire and water, incompatible; the fact that they hadn’t come to blows was already quite remarkable, and such taunting was the usual way things were done.

Song Zidong paused, then turned his head to look towards Lin Tian and Hee Tianci and others, with a strange smile, he said:

“Don’t we have a few excellent pathfinders here?

With them scouting ahead, we can avoid directly encountering dangerous territories, and if danger arises, we can have some human shields at the ready, isn’t that perfect?”

Upon hearing this, the disciples from both sects’ eyes lit up, and their gazes unanimously fell on Lin Tian and the others.

“Almost forgot about these few people!”

Huang Hongfeng, who was leading the Zhenxian Sect, turned his head and looked over, his gaze ice-cold, finally settling on Hee Tianci as he demanded, “Where do you hail from in the Cultivation Domain, and which sect are you with?”

Confronted with the gaze of disciples from two sects, the faces of the few changed.

“What’s the background of these people?

A look at their attire and aura, it’s clear they are no ordinary individuals!”

Situ Xiu’s plump face showed a hint of fear, and his large, mountainous body began to tremble slightly.

He was only at the Qi Refining First Level; even though Huang Hongfeng and Song Zidong didn’t release any of their aura, he still felt an invisible pressure emanating from them.

“Big Senior Brother, what should we do?”

Wang Simeng’s pretty face turned pale, and her hands were somewhat at a loss as she turned to Hee Tianci and whispered.

“Don’t say anything just yet, and just stay calm!

These two leaders are Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”

Hee Tianci took a deep breath and shook his head slightly at Wang Simeng and the others before replying in a low voice.

What?

Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Although they had vaguely guessed it before, hearing Hee Tianci say it outright, Wang Simeng, Ximen You, and Situ Xiu couldn’t help but step back in shock, their faces beginning to show signs of panic.

The three of them hadn’t reached the Qi Refining Ninth Level like Hee Tianci, and were completely unable to sense that kind of tangible oppression.

But, from the start, Hee Tianci had sensed the cultivation levels of Song Zidong and Huang Hongfeng.

After a pause, Hee Tianci issued another warning, “No funny business once we’re down there.

Wind Demon Castle comes from Forbidden Curse Ridge.

I’ve never heard of Zhenxian Sect, but it must be from a major sect in the Advanced Cultivation Domain, and those people are mostly ruthless!”

Damn it!

Situ Xiu cursed silently, his face dripping with cold sweat.

He had practiced methods of the Evil Cultivators before and had ventured in the Cultivation World, knowing full well how ruthless these people could be.

The more he heard Hee Tianci’s warning, the more frightened he became.

“How dare you!

My senior is asking you a question?

Come out and answer, or else, die!”

Seeing that Hee Tianci and the others dallied without responding, a woman behind Huang Hongfeng, dressed in an Azure Lake’s jade gown, glared with murderous intent and bellowed.

The woman had a cultivation level of the Qi Refining Eighth Level, and her aura was stunningly formidable.

Her fierce shout nearly caused Situ Xiu to fall onto the ground in fright.

Hee Tianci, however, was calm, lifting his head with a solemn expression and cupping his fists respectfully he replied, “To answer the senior, we come from Wind Mountain in the Yelang Cultivation Domain!”

“Hmph, what senior?

Is my Brother Huang that old?

Call him Mr.

Huang!

Our Brother Huang is one of the top ten young masters of the Zhenxian Plateau Cultivation Domain!”

The woman’s face chilled again as she shouted loudly.

“Sister Yan Yu, it’s just a title, let it go!”

Huang Hongfeng waved his hand at the woman called Yan Yu, shaking his head in reply.

“Ha ha ha ha…

Not bad, not bad at all.

Truly worthy of one of Zhenxian Plateau’s top ten young masters, you have some style!”

On the other hand, Song Zidong suddenly laughed boisterously, speaking mockingly, “Even if it is the bottom of the top ten young masters!”

But.

Huang Hongfeng’s face darkened as he looked at Hee Tianci and said, “You lead the way, and don’t make us take action!”

“We can lead the way!

We were intending to go in anyway,” Hee Tianci said with utmost composure, his voice measured.

Finally, he pointed at Situ Xiu and Lin Tian, “But, could you let them leave?

One is at the Qi Refining First Level, and the other is a commoner; keeping them here would be of no help!”

“That won’t do.

If they leak any information, how are we supposed to find the treasure!”

Song Zidong of Wind Demon Castle immediately shook his head and scoffed, “Now that Huang Hongfeng has shown up, I’m already troubled, and if other sects find out, we might not even get a sip of the soup!”

At these words, the people of Zhenxian Sect and Huang Hongfeng likewise nodded in agreement.

Knowing that it was futile to argue, Hee Tianci didn’t bring it up again but instead said, “We can lead the way!

Once we get inside, though, whom should we listen to, who’s in charge?

What if one of the young masters or your people suddenly strike at us?

Or if either side tries to stab the other in the back, won’t we die unjustly?”

Hearing this, the people on Song Zidong and Huang Hongfeng’s sides all suddenly changed their expressions, becoming even more vigilant.

They were from the Righteous Path and the Demon Path, at odds with each other, and to be able to coexist even temporarily was already very fortunate.

Who could guarantee they wouldn’t be backstabbed after entering the valley?

“Hee Tianci is cunning!

He’s young and not highly cultivated, but his mind is meticulous, and he remains fearless in the face of danger, indeed a sharp one!

The people from the two opposing sects are inherently hostile to each other, ensuring we serve as the vanguard explorers under precarious conditions, but unable to have a leader, especially while remaining vigilant against sudden attacks…

In a few words, Hee Tianci has made them hesitant to lay hands on them easily, skillfully turning the situation around!”

Seeing the reactions of the people from both sides, Lin Tian couldn’t help but cast a deep look at Hee Tianci, inwardly full of admiration.
