The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 701: Chapter 697: Roll Back to East Continent (Fourth Update!)

“Treasures have emerged in Dragon Creek Mountain, and now these cultivators from the East Continent have taken control of the valley. We can’t even get a sip of soup, and everyone is about to disperse. Yet there are still people coming here to seek death…”

As Lin Tian and the others appeared, someone in the crowd sighed and shook their head, speaking up.

Many turned to look back, their faces revealing cold smirks.

Others simply glanced indifferently and then paid no more attention.

After the recent scuffle, many had died or fled, and those who remained were all risking their lives.

To put it bluntly, some Loose Cultivators were also desperadoes, viewing life and death with indifference, ready to fight at any slight.

When some people saw Lin Tian and the others coming to their doom, they weren’t surprised.

“Fellow Daoist Nie, why have you come here too?”

At that moment, a dark-faced elder walked out from the crowd and hurried over to Nie Xingchen, his face showing astonishment.

This person wore a loose-fitting black robe, covered in dust, and had the energy of someone who had traveled a long distance.

Lin Tian looked up at the elder, unremarkable, with only the cultivation of the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement, no different from Nie Xingchen.

Seeing the dark-faced elder appear, Nie Xingchen was also stunned, then surprised and excited, he stepped forward to grab the other’s hand, his face filled with joy as he said, “Tian Dao You, since we parted ways at Black Demon Ridge, three years have passed in a blink. I did not expect to meet you here again!”

“Haha… yes! When we parted that year, I thought it would be difficult to see each other again! Who would have thought that I could meet an old friend in a foreign land today? Tian Ce is so happy, beyond words! I wish I could feast on wild fruit and drink crystal clear spring water, to be merry all night long! Alas, it’s not the right time…”

The dark-faced elder was equally excited, laughing heartily while also shaking his head and sighing in excitement, but his expression quickly turned grave again as he said urgently, “Brother Nie, the situation here is complicated. You shouldn’t have come, and even brought along a few youngsters. With such little cultivation, if there is another skirmish later, you won’t even have time to cushion your fall! You even brought those without cultivation… you…”

Hearing this, Nie Xingchen was startled, then could not help but smile wryly.

He clearly understood the latter remark was about Lin Tian, but before he could explain, Tian Ce continued, “It’s been so long since we met, I would love to talk all night! But this place is dangerous. Before you arrived just now, those East Continent cultivators were on a rampage, not even sparing ordinary mortals, and many Loose Cultivators, thinking there were treasures, attempted to take advantage amidst the chaos. They fought each other and battled with the group. As a result, there were many casualties, and some fled, leaving less than a hundred people here! Now, we better retreat quickly. This treasure is not for us…”

Hearing this, Sheng Zishu and others couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

This place was controlled by those sect cultivators; they could forget about treasures, they probably couldn’t even get a drink of water!

“However, we can retreat a little farther and watch the excitement from the ridges, to see what kind of treasure is inside! These sect people are probably not going to really strike at all of us, right? If it attracts other nearby sects of Xiangjiang Province, it would be a trouble for them too!”

At this, the round and plump man, You Wei, suggested.

Others nodded, but Nie Xingchen and Cheen Chaoya were both hesitant, looking towards Lin Tian, while Lin Tian, at this moment, wasn’t paying attention to the conversation, as his Divine Sense had already slipped into the valley ahead, all the way to the innermost part.

Dozens of meters down the crevice of the valley, Lin Tian discovered a magma pool the size of a basketball court, where Earthfire Magma boiled violently, with hot waves billowing up.

And within the magma pool, there lay a huge figure, coiled and silent in the midst of the magma, with only a small part of its body exposed.

“What kind of Fierce Beast is this?”

Lin Tian couldn’t make out the Fierce Beast clearly, but he could feel it had a powerful aura.

Such Yin Attribute Fierce Beasts prefer mountains rich in Yin Qi and places where Earthfire thrives!

But his attention was soon focused on the edge of the magma pool, where Earthfire Stones were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

Moreover, many Earthfire Stones remained lodged in the crevices between the rocks going further down the valley.

“It really is Earthfire Stone!”

Lin Tian was overjoyed, withdrawing his Divine Sense, the trip had not been in vain.

Nie Xingchen and Cheen Chaoya watched Lin Tian in a daze, not daring to disturb him, with doubt on their faces, unsure whether to stay or leave.

The group of sect cultivators ahead seemed terrifyingly powerful, and they dared not provoke them!

Tian Ce saw Nie Xingchen’s hesitation, his gaze drifted to the young man beside him, his expression flickered with a touch of surprise.

“This Dragon Creek Valley, as of today, has been taken over by our East State River God Sect, you all should quickly leave!”

During the hesitation of the group, a sharp and melodious rebuke suddenly emerged. A young woman, accompanied by several youths, strode forward. Her cold phoenix eyes swept over everyone present and she coldly commanded, “I give you ten minutes to leave the vicinity of Dragon Creek Mountain. Otherwise, there will be no mercy in killing you!”

With the fall of the young woman’s sharp rebuke, most of the loose cultivators present instantly scattered, hastily retreating. Many of them even left the area straight away.

Having witnessed the previous skirmish, they did not wish to join the fallen merely for the sake of watching the excitement unfold.

While a small number of people withdrew beyond the one-mile radius, they immediately watched from a safe distance.

They all wanted to know what kind of treasure had appeared within the valley—if not to obtain it, then at least to broaden their horizons and indulge their curiosity.

At this moment, Tian Ce’s face also turned pale; he urged hastily, “Let’s hurry and leave as well. We’ve hesitated for too long!”

“No need, let’s stay here! I still want to retrieve the treasure inside.”

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, his tone nonchalant as he spoke. At the same time, his gaze turned to the young woman who had issued the sharp rebuke.

The woman was none other than Yang Zhixi.

Retrieve the treasure?

Aside from Nie Xingchen and Cheen Chaoya, everyone else widened their eyes in astonishment, looking at Lin Tian with shock on their faces.

Defying a powerful sect and trying to seize the treasure from their grasp—this wasn’t a joke; it was openly seeking death!

Amidst their astonishment, Yang Zhixi’s icy gaze swept over them, her attention landing on their group.

Among the spectating loose cultivators, Lin Tian’s group was the only one that hadn’t moved to leave.

However, it didn’t take long for Yang Zhixi to finally notice Lin Tian. Her eyes widened, and she immediately exclaimed, “How dare you, you brazen scoundrel, appear here. Today, you won’t be leaving!”

Yang Zhixi’s furious shouting, filled with intense killing intent, made Tian Ce, Sheng Zishu, and the others shake, and they looked up in alarm.

Seeing the terrifying murderous intent in her eyes directed towards them, their expressions changed instantly.

“Junior sister, what’s happening?”

One of the youths standing behind Yang Zhixi asked in a deep voice.

“Senior brother, it was this man who killed our Brother Bi Rui’an!”

Yang Zhixi’s face filled with anger as she pointed at Lin Tian and declared, “And it was he who injured Young Master Yuwen! Young Master Yuwen has already taken a private plane back to the East Continent. Otherwise, today we would have to capture him and take him before Young Master Yuwen! But be careful; he might very well be a Martial Arts Young Master. Both Brother Bi and I were defeated by him!”

“Is it him?”

The few youths, surprised, then burst out angrily, “A mere Martial Arts Grandmaster dares to act so insolently. We’ll capture him immediately and show the might of the River God. Otherwise, if word gets out that Brother Bi was killed by a Martial Arts Grandmaster, where will we stand!”

“What’s going on?”

As the few youths prepared to move, a deep, resonant voice came forth, and the leading man of the Foundation Establishment Stage walked forward, his aura strong, and his suppression startling.

Yang Zhixi and others turned back, paid their respects respectfully, and promptly, with an angry face, informed the man of what had happened.

“A Martial Arts Young Master? He has decent talent! But those who do not enter cultivation are no more than ants!”

The man coldly swept over Lin Tian and the others, coldly saying, “They’re merely worms; just watch them and leave them be for now. The thing inside is about to awaken—stay alert…”

At this moment, Nie Xingchen and the others had turned pale with trembling bodies. The man’s suppression gave them a sensation of death hovering in the air.

Only Lin Tian’s expression remained unaffected, his indifferent gaze drifting over Yang Zhixi and finally resting on the man, his tone as laid back as a light breeze, “East State River God Sect? I have a piece of advice for you, roll back to the East Continent now and you may keep your lives. Otherwise, you might not be able to leave later!”
