The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 780: Chapter 776: Holy Gu Sect (First Update!)

Bone Burial Mountain.

A grotesque and terrifying jade hand emerged from the midair of the valley, striking Lin Tian and sending him flying through the air.

Fortunately, Lin Tian practiced the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique, possessed a robust physique and profound cultivation, and he forcibly countered the immense force of the palm.

He landed slightly staggering, his body swayed once, but he steadied himself.

Fortunately, he was not injured.

However, his internal Qi and blood surged, causing his face to flush red before turning pale again.

“…Nine Celestial Totem Pillar, do not touch! Next time, you will be killed without mercy!”

The woman’s melodious yet lethal voice seemed to still echo in his mind.

Lin Tian stood at the base of the ridge, it took him a long while to suppress the turbulence within his body, then he looked towards the direction of the valley with an indecisive expression on his face.

He had been determined to obtain the Nine Celestial Sky Zhe Treasure Blood before.

But now, with the sudden appearance of this terrifying jade hand, he became hesitant.

Who exactly was this person?

What was the woman’s cultivation? Golden Core Late Stage? Or even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?

The unknown presence made him even more wary.

Lin Tian was no exception; without understanding the opponent’s capabilities, he did not want to act rashly.

That jade hand, with the aura and strength it emitted, was too astonishing.

If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, they might have died on the spot.

Even a Golden Core Stage cultivator might have to tread cautiously!

“Should I try again?”

Lin Tian hesitated unusually.

Though he had some reliance on his skills and if the opponent was only at the Golden Core Late Stage, he could come and go freely.

But if it was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, that would mean risking his life.

He had previously learned from Yu Jinhe that the masters of Burial Village, once they left the village, would have their cultivation reduced.

But what about Nascent Soul Stage cultivators? How much would their power be reduced?

“Are you not leaving? Are you waiting for me to eradicate you?”

While Lin Tian hesitated, the woman’s voice rang in his ears again.

Lin Tian’s expression darkened and he squinted and said, “Even if you are a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, killing me won’t be so easy! Originally, I was thinking of coming back another time, but since you threaten me like this, I am determined to take this Nine Celestial Sky Zhe Treasure Blood!”

“How do you know about Nine Celestial Sky Zhe?”

The woman’s voice floated in midair, thick with shock.

However.

Lin Tian did not respond to her again, instead, he frowned and looked in the direction of the other side of Bone Burial Mountain.

In that direction, he sensed several breaking sounds, rapidly approaching him.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid them, Lin Tian simply stepped like an arrow, positioning himself in front of a tombstone on the edge of the public cemetery, watching the developments silently.

From the direction of the valley, the woman’s voice did not come again.

A few moments later, three figures stumbled over from the other side of the ridge, showing signs of great panic.

Lin Tian looked up and saw an old man supported by two figures, one large and one small, both graceful, coming towards him.

Following closely behind the three of them, enveloped in black aura.

Wherever they passed, the vegetation showed signs of withered and dying, bizarre and frightening.

What slightly narrowed Lin Tian’s eyes was that the leading old man among the three had a terrifying aura, comparable to a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He stepped forward, the black aura around him like a rainbow, and the howling wind stirred up a rustling sound.

A curse master from Thainan Country? It didn’t seem likely!

Could it be a cultivator from the Miao Region Valley in the Southwest Border?

Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brow, filled with surprise and doubt, but what surprised him more were still the three people in front.

As they approached, Lin Tian recognized the old man being supported—astonishingly, it was Nie Xingchen, whom he had once saved!

Supporting him were two young women, one looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen, graceful and extraordinarily spirited, and the other appeared to be twenty-three or twenty-four, with a well-proportioned figure and a quite charming demeanor.

“Is this the entrance to Burial Village?”

The three powerful figures who arrived later were led by an old man who shouted at Nie Xingchen.

“Just beneath this mountain ridge, you can see the Totem Pole you’re looking for once you walk up to the mountain ridge…”

Nie Xingchen let out a long sigh, helplessly pointing towards the front where the top of the mountain was as smooth as a mirror, as he spoke.

Hmph~

Hearing this, the old man harrumphed, waved his sleeve, and a gust of black wind swept Nie Xingchen and the other two aside, coincidentally landing them next to Lin Tian.

Puh~

Nie Xingchen, who was already seriously injured, could not withstand another blow from the old man and immediately spat out fresh blood, coughing uncontrollably.

“Grandfather!”

“Master!”

The two girls were also slightly injured, but they ignored their own wounds, scrambled up in a flurry, and supported Nie Xingchen.

“Nie Xingchen, are you alright?”

Perhaps because they were too panicky, they did not notice Lin Tian’s presence. The same went for the three powerful figures who seemed to be in a hurry for some sort of treasure. But when Lin Tian spoke up, everyone turned toward the sound.

“Eh, there’s an ordinary person here too!”

Originally about to climb the mountain, the three powerful figures could not help but stop and turn back as the leading old man immediately voiced his suspicion.

“Third Elder, should we deal with them first?”

A young man standing next to the old man glanced at Lin Tian and the others and then made a throat-slitting gesture to the old man, asking in a low voice.

“Let them live for a little while longer. Right now, the priority is to destroy that Totem Pole and acquire the Divine Blood needed by the Holy Master!”

The old man sneered and then led the two young men towards the top of the mountain.

As those three left, Nie Xingchen and the others turned to Lin Tian in shock.

The two girls were astonished that this ordinary young man in front of them actually knew Nie Xingchen.

As for Nie Xingchen, he was surprised to see Lin Tian here and immediately said in astonishment, “Lin… Sen…”

However.

His injuries were too severe.

Just as he uttered two words, he spat out fresh blood again, his face pale.

“Don’t talk, I’ll heal you!”

Lin Tian waved his hand at Nie Xingchen and then told the two girls, “Hold him steady…”

Saying this, he took out a silver needle, but seeing the look of surprise on the girls’ faces, he added, “I have some medical skills!”

“This…”

The two women were still obviously hesitant.

“He… he is a Divine Doctor!”

Nie Xingchen, severely injured, could not explain much and forced the words out.

Seeing Nie Xingchen’s reaction, the two girls hastily propped him up, allowing Lin Tian to proceed.

Lin Tian acted swiftly. Under the astonished gazes of the two girls, he quickly retracted his hands.

Within a few minutes, Nie Xingchen’s injuries were largely healed.

The two girls, witnessing how Nie Xingchen had gone from critically injured to much better in the blink of an eye, all turned their stunned eyes to Lin Tian.

Such terrifying medical skill was simply divine!

Nie Xingchen quickly stood up and bowed in thanks, “Thank you, Senior Lin…”

“You’ve just recovered from your injuries, skip the formalities! First, tell me who those three are and what’s going on?”

Lin Tian glanced at the three figures who had headed up the mountain ridge and asked Nie Xingchen.

Seeing Nie Xingchen performing such a big gesture, the two girls were not surprised; after all, it was a life-saving grace. They too quickly stood up to offer their thanks.

“Ah, Senior Lin, this young girl is my granddaughter Nie Xiaoyun, and this is my disciple Leng Xiaoran! We were originally out for practice, but we unexpectedly encountered the strong figures from the Holy Gu Sect!”

Nie Xingchen introduced the two girls, large and small, then looked up at the three figures on the mountain ridge and gave a bitter smile, “The two young men are disciples of the Holy Gu Sect, their cultivation equivalent to the Qi Refinement Ninth Level, and the leading old man is the most terrifying, the Third Elder of the Holy Gu Sect, Chou Wanqiu, who has long been rumored to be at the Peak of Foundation Establishment! Now… even more frightening!”

Nie Xiaoyun and Leng Xiaoran, hearing Nie Xingchen address Lin Tian as a senior, were first taken aback and then realized, assuming it was because Lin Tian’s medical skills were so amazing that Nie Xingchen showed such respect.

Holy Gu Sect?

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, hearing about this power for the first time.

Meanwhile, Nie Xingchen’s face changed drastically, as if he had just thought of something, he urged urgently, “Senior Lin, please take my granddaughter and disciple and leave now, while they’re not paying attention, escape! I’ll stay behind and hold them off to buy you some time…”
