The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 694 - 695: Midnight Attack

Listening to Liu Zixuan’s puzzled question, the beautiful master chuckled: "We’ve always said that the only fair thing in this world is death! But there’s another thing that is equally fair in comparison!"

"What is it?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Sacrifice and gain!"

The beautiful master smiled meaningfully: "With sacrifice comes gain, and with gain comes loss! Back in the day, when the Willow Association’s old ancestor fought against a master in the Emperor Realm, and used the Hundred Realms Map to make a name in the Star Sea, he was at his peak, almost bringing the Willow Association to the pinnacle. From an insignificant small clan to a renowned great family in the Star Sea, they gained so much, but weren’t they bound to lose something too?"

Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "I still don’t quite understand."

"It’s actually a simple principle. In the Star Sea, although the Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers are obvious, there are also hidden families and sects. The sudden rise of the Willow Association naturally made many hidden giants uneasy. But everything has its rationale for rising, so they couldn’t just wipe out the Willow Association, thus they agreed upon a regulation with the old ancestor of the Willow Association!"

"The regulation was that they placed a restriction on the old ancestor of the Willow Association. This restriction couldn’t be broken by the old ancestor but could only be naturally broken by an appropriate person, allowing him to reappear to the world."

"Back then, fearing the rapid rise of the Willow Association and that if the old ancestor suddenly disappeared, it would definitely lead some ill-intentioned forces astray, so he passed a copy of the Hundred Realms Map he created into the hands of later generations, while he was completely restricted within the Hundred Realms Map by those great powers."

Saying this, the beautiful master looked at Liu Zixuan: "And you are the destined one for the Willow Association’s old ancestor, and those chess games played back then were the keys to unlock that restriction. It was also a test, to some extent."

"So that’s how it is." Liu Zixuan grinned: "Then how do you know all this?"

"Me?" The beautiful master paused: "Previously when we separated at the Celestial Capital, I told you there were some matters I needed to handle. Actually, I came to handle this because the old ancestor of the Willow Association has been sealed for many years, his body is already in bad shape, and I came here just to make elixirs for him."

"Of course, as for how the old ancestor notified me, I can’t really explain. In his words, it should be the connection between bloodlines. It’s quite mystical."

Liu Zixuan narrowed his eyes and moved closer to the beautiful master: "You just mentioned that aside from the so-called Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers, there are also hidden families and sects in the Star Sea, right?"

"Yes."

"Then is it possible that in those hidden families and sects, there are realms beyond the Emperor Realm?" Liu Zixuan asked in a low voice.

The beautiful master was silent for a moment: "This question, you should ask the old ancestor when we go to the Willow Association tomorrow. Only he knows these things clearly, and I suspect that the old ancestor’s realm is already far beyond just the Emperor Realm!"

Liu Zixuan took a few puffs on his cigarette: "I always thought the Emperor Realm was the highest for a martial artist, but now I increasingly feel that it seems to be a threshold. After crossing this threshold, there is a much broader sky!"

"Everything is endless." The beautiful master patted Liu Zixuan’s shoulder: "Moreover, your journey has just begun!"

Liu Zixuan gave the beautiful master a cheeky smile: "That’s right, the journey to conquer a hundred beautiful women has just begun! For now, let’s conquer this little missy!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!" Seeing Liu Zixuan’s face show an evil smile, the beautiful master quickly dodged to the side.

But unfortunately, Liu Zixuan already knew the beautiful master would try to dodge, so he swiftly picked her up and brought her back to the bed without saying a word.

"Now let’s see where you run to!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

But at a very inopportune moment, there was a knock on the door again.

Seeing Liu Zixuan’s face grow increasingly sullen, the beautiful master pushed him: "What are you thinking, go and open the door."

"Really, I want to kill someone right now!" Liu Zixuan said, feeling very annoyed.

The beautiful master hugged Liu Zixuan’s neck and gave him a kiss: "Be good, once these matters are settled, everything else is just a minor issue."

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead and walked to the door. Just as he opened it, ready to shout out angrily, he saw Bai Jingjing with blood at the corner of her mouth and a pale face.

"What happened?"

"Quick... go check on Qingning, she got hurt!" Bai Jingjing said weakly.

"Master, take care of Jingjing!" Liu Zixuan left a sentence and rushed to the room next door.

As soon as he entered, Ying Qingning was slumped on the edge of the bed, with a ghastly wound on her left shoulder and some marks on her arm. She had already fainted.

Liu Zixuan placed her flat on the bed, then took out the Ghost Gate Needle to stop her bleeding, crushed an elixir from his pocket and sprinkled it on the wound, then bandaged it up.

During this, Liu Ruyan, Bai Jingjing, and the beautiful master all walked in together.

"How is she?" Liu Ruyan asked anxiously.

"No vital parts were harmed, just significant blood loss." Liu Zixuan looked at Bai Jingjing and asked: "What exactly happened?"

Bai Jingjing sat on a chair, recalling as she spoke: "Just now, Qingning and I couldn’t sleep, so we went out to buy some snacks, planning to watch some TV. Nothing happened when we went out, but just as we got back to the room door, several figures suddenly dashed out and snatched the bracelet on Qingning’s wrist. It was clear Qingning cared about her bracelet a lot, she held on tight."

"Someone raised a blade to cut off Qingning’s arm, I panicked and blocked it. During the fight with that person, someone else injured Qingning, snatched the bracelet and ran off. I was worried about Qingning, so didn’t chase after them and rushed to get you all!"

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead: "This hotel’s soundproofing is really good, we didn’t hear a thing in our room!"

"That bracelet, it’s... my mom gave it to Qingning. I remember Qingning told me before it’s something passed down to every girl in the Willow Association." Liu Ruyan furrowed her brow and said.

"No wonder she risked her life to protect that bracelet." Bai Jingjing sighed and asked: "What do we do now?"

"Did you see the faces of those people? Any characteristics? What cultivation technique did they use?" Liu Zixuan asked in a deep voice.

"They were masked, couldn’t see anything clearly, the technique... it was eerie, not proper, more like something assassins use, quite vicious." Bai Jingjing recalled for a moment, her eyes suddenly brightening: "Oh right, while fighting with that person, I noticed a strange pattern on his wrist!"
