The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1003: A Slap Across the Face

The vast ruins, ancient roads stretching, with an island floating in the clouds at the end, appearing and disappearing, the scene was both shocking and magical, causing Lin Tian’s heart to tremble.

Such strange circumstances before them were indeed rare.

In his previous life, Lin Tian had experienced various Immortal Lands, and had seen countless such floating islands.

However.

This kind of floating island appearing on Earth was astonishing.

”Is this an ancient land?”

Lin Tian surveyed the ruins in front of him and expressed his surprise to Ye Lan.

”Daoist Lin, you are right; this is an ancient land, called Heavenly Fragrance Ruins!”

The others also stood atop the mountain ridge, looking at the scene in front, as Ye Lan explained to Lin Tian, then pointed to the island in the sky: ”That is Tianxiang Island! When I first came here and saw this sight, I was also stunned!”

”Second Master, this is my second time here, but I haven’t been up to Tianxiang Island yet!”

Yun Qingwan said to Lin Tian with excitement, as if about to reveal a treasure from her pocket, ”Master Ye said the competition will be held on Tianxiang Island... And long ago, this was an ancient city called Tianxiang City. Outside, the Tianxiang Villa is said to be descendants of Tianxiang City...”

Lin Tian listened silently, then followed along, descending the mountain ridge.

Among the ridges, there were broken stone steps winding downward, leading to the ruins’ bluestone ancient road.

”Why hasn’t any sect been founded here?”

During the walk, Lin Tian asked curiously.

As it is an ancient land, it must be a good place, or have something extraordinary, like that Tianxiang Island. No ordinary cultivator could dream of constructing such an incredible floating island.

As a second-level cultivation domain, the sects in Sword Saint Mountain should have occupied such a magical place upon discovery.

Yet, on the contrary, no sect exists here, not even a trace of humanity.

”This is a ruin, uninhabitable!”

Ye Lan shook his head, replying, ”Only that Tianxiang Island has something magical that we use for each East Continent Martial Arts Gathering to let the young disciples compete! However, the Tianxiang Ancient Land is indeed under the control of Sword Saint Mountain!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian was surprised and somewhat puzzled.

But upon stepping onto the ancient road of the ruins, Lin Tian immediately understood.

Looking around, there were ruined buildings, broken walls and debris everywhere.

Amid them, one could still see many corpses, some human, some of fierce beasts, and beside them lay broken sharp weapons scattered.

Walking on the bluestone ancient road, one could feel the surging ancient aura everywhere and a few traces of ancient, dried-up death qi.

”Here lies a ruined ancient city, also an ancient battlefield, who knows to what extent the war back then was fierce!”

Lin Tian marveled at everything before him, feeling astonished; with every few steps, he saw more corpses, many exposed to the air, uncollected.

Perhaps the combatants back then had low cultivation, but how many there were is unknown.

Ancient city, ancient battlefield, ancient ruins, corpses, Death Qi...

Yet, not a trace of spiritual energy!

Not even a tiny bit could be felt!

It’s no wonder that the sects of Sword Saint Mountain haven’t stationed here.

”Are people not allowed in here usually?”

As Lin Tian and Ye Lan walked along the ancient road, Lin Tian asked casually.

”Sword Saint Mountain’s cultivators specially guard this place, so no one can enter! It’s just that today, being the competition day, the guards must have gone to Tianxiang Island!”

Looking around, Ye Lan’s expression was somewhat complicated, then he replied to Lin Tian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian understood.

If no one guards it, this ruin is definitely a treasure trove.

At least.

To those Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators, it’s like returning to their homeland, like fish in water.

A short distance ahead, on the ancient road, there was a collapsed stele that stood several people high.

Two lines of words were still legible on it—

Vast Tianxiang City, this path has become silent over the years!

”The entire Tianxiang Ancient City, only that floating Tianxiang Island remains intact!”

Ye Lan looked at the stele, his tone somber.

The group continued forward.

Before long.

They finally reached beneath Tianxiang Island.

From a close distance, only then did Lin Tian notice that Tianxiang Island wasn’t entirely floating; one side was connected to a giant mountain by a corner, with stone steps winding upward from the giant mountain to Tianxiang Island.

Even so, such craftsmanship and ingenuity weren’t something ordinary cultivators could achieve!

Upon reaching the stone steps leading up to Tianxiang Island, they finally saw people.

A crowd had already gathered here, and ahead on the mountain peak’s stone steps, many people marched forward.

Meanwhile, many cultivators and sect factions came from the other end of the ancient road.

The cultivators before them were mostly in groups of a few people, ten to even dozens, wearing different attires signifying their respective sects.

Upon spotting Ye Lan and the others appear, many people turned their heads to look.

Yet.

They all sneered in unison, wearing mocking smiles, then dismissed them.

But at this moment, a group of people walked toward them.

”Hehe... Fellow Daoist Ye, how have you been?”

The one leading the group was a middle-aged man with a goat beard, who clasped his fists and smiled at Ye Lan from a distance, his voice carrying a thin sharpness that made it hard to like him.

Behind this man were more than a dozen others, apart from three elders, the rest were young people aged fifteen to twenty.

”Master Lie, you’re too polite!”

Ye Lan furrowed his brows and replied coldly.

Behind.

Yun Qingwan leaned forward to Lin Tian and whispered, ”Second Master, these are the cultivators from the Big Dipper Sect, much stronger than our Tianlan Sect, and this man leading them is Lie Tiangyang, the sect leader of the Big Dipper Sect! Not a nice person... In the past, he wanted to form a dual cultivation couple with my Master Ye, but she loathed him, and there’s no way she could agree to it...”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but laugh lightly. The Lie Feiyang before him, like Ye Lan, had the early-stage Foundation Establishment strength but was somewhat unscrupulous.

”Oh, Fellow Daoist Ye, why are you still so cold? Don’t you understand my feelings? Plus, your Tianlan Sect is now everyone’s target. Which other sect dares to associate with you?”

Lie Feiyang sighed, shook his head at Ye Lan, then pointed to the youth behind him, who seemed about twenty years old, and continued, ”Cheeng Peng is now at the Qi Refining Eighth Level, and in a few years, reaching the Ninth Layer won’t be a problem! He can be considered first-rate in the East Continent Cultivation Realm! How about we form a dual cultivation couple, and let Qingwan become Cheeng Peng’s concubine? Qingwan cannot cultivate; her cultivation level can’t rise. Being Cheeng Peng’s concubine is already a great gift. Fellow Daoist Ye, you should consider your Tianlan Sect’s future!”

”You shameless!”

These words made Ye Lan tremble with rage, and she shouted angrily.

”What did you just say?”

Meanwhile, Lin Tian’s face instantly darkened, his icy eyes fixed on Lie Feiyang, coldly saying, ”Did you say you wanted Yun Qingwan to be your disciple’s concubine?”

”How dare you, who said you can talk when my master is speaking?”

At this moment, the young man standing behind Lie Feiyang stepped forward, shouting at Lin Tian, then looked at Yun Qingwan, saying arrogantly, ”Qingwan, this might be your last chance! When I, Gao Chengpeng, step into Sword Saint Mountain, even if you beg to be my woman, I might be too lazy to glance at you! Now, if you willingly serve under me, I’ll ensure your Tianlan Sect is secure, and that you enjoy privileges and status many can’t dream of for the rest of your life!”

Gao Chengpeng’s words carried certainty, as if he had a guarantee of entering Sword Saint Mountain for cultivation.

”You... I will not agree to your terms!”

Yun Qingwan was tearful and aggrieved, biting her lips, unsure of how to respond.

”Qingwan!”

But Lin Tian suddenly shouted at Yun Qingwan, ”As my disciple, when facing such a person, don’t you know what to do?”

”Ah... Second Master... What should I do?”

Yun Qingwan was somewhat dazed and aggrieved.

The Tianlan Sect was too weak, and ever since she was young, she could only look up at other sects. In the entire East Continent, their sect was the weakest. She was used to being mocked and bullied, and had learned to endure and bow her head.

But in Lin Tian’s view, such humiliating words directed at his disciple, towards his people, warranted immediate execution, thus he scolded with a frown, ”What should you do? If you can, kill him! If not, slap him in the face!”

Smack~

As he finished speaking, Lin Tian delivered a swift and decisive slap to Gao Chengpeng’s face.
