The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 697 - 698: The Secret of the Bracelet

The average Half-Step Emperor Realm is not something to be underestimated!

This sentence is enough to represent the importance and fearsome nature of that item in the Seven-Star Tomb! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Liu Qianfeng is a Half-Step Emperor Realm, and now Liu Zixuan, barely able to suppress him with the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array, cannot directly kill him.

Therefore, Liu Zixuan’s current strength, although at the Imperial Realm Middle Stage, only allows him to fight on par with experts one minor realm above him without being defeated.

Looking at the ancestor of the Willow Association with great excitement in his heart: "What exactly is the treasure?"

The ancestor of the Willow Association smiled mysteriously: "You will know in time, allow this old man to keep you in suspense for now."

Liu Zixuan muttered in discontent: "You big shot old folks just love pulling these stunts."

"Hahaha!" The ancestor of the Willow Association laughed heartily and then said: "Helping you improve your strength and aiding you in entering a Seven-Star Tomb, these are two great benefits. You should be happy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully and said: "Ancestor, although I haven’t lived as long as you, I still understand that a pie falling from the sky can kill you. If you only wanted to give me benefits, you wouldn’t have said so much useless talk, so let’s not beat around the bush. Tell me what you want me to do."

As these words fell, several beauties on the side looked toward Liu Zixuan, thinking how could the ancestor, who is above the Emperor Realm, possibly need Liu Zixuan’s help?

Just as they were in doubt, the ancestor of the Willow Association spoke.

He chuckled awkwardly and said: "Indeed, there’s a favor I need from you."

"Go ahead." Liu Zixuan had already anticipated these things.

"You just came in, ready to talk about Qingning’s matter, and what I want to talk about is also related to her." The ancestor of the Willow Association began slowly: "The bracelet Qingning took is actually a key, which I seized when I battled a Witch Country expert in the ancient ruins."

"What key?" Liu Zixuan asked out of curiosity.

"As early as seven hundred years ago, the Witch Country robbed a batch of precious relics from our Star Sea. Among those relics was an extremely rare pearl, which holds special significance for Star Sea Martial Artists and has a very mysterious use. After being robbed, it was hidden in a sect, and the key to open this treasure is that bracelet."

"Since you knew it was a treasure, why didn’t you take it back at the time?" Liu Zixuan asked, puzzled.

The ancestor of the Willow Association sighed: "Nations cannot wage war lightly, as many things are involved. Similarly, there is balance among Martial Artists, and ever since the ancient ruins, many experts disappeared. The global Martial Artist organization established a rule that no expert above the Emperor Realm can go to other countries. Otherwise, they would be hunted by experts of all different realms in that nation!"

"I was already at the Emperor Realm at that time, so I naturally couldn’t go. Later, I sent some people to investigate, but without exception, most died in the Witch Country. It wasn’t long before I was sealed within the Hundred Realms Map."

"Then why are they coming over now?" Liu Zixuan remained somewhat confused, after all, this matter has been long past.

"Do you remember that Mu Mu?" The ancestor of the Willow Association suddenly asked.

Liu Zixuan nodded.

"He is from that sect. They haven’t come for so many years because they believed that the bracelet has always been with me. When I disappeared, they naturally thought it was lost, so they didn’t come. But this time, with the Willow Association banquet, those old guys from their sect must have sensed that I was waking up and sent people over."

The ancestor of the Willow Association explained: "After they arrived, they found that the bracelet was not with me but was instead worn on Qingning’s wrist. So, they had that guy named Mu Mu join the young geniuses to challenge for marriage, thinking that as long as he won, he could marry Qingning, and the bracelet would naturally return to them."

"I see," Liu Zixuan said with a smile: "It seems their calculations didn’t pan out."

"Who would have thought otherwise? They didn’t account for the emergence of an extraordinary talent like you," the ancestor of the Willow Association chuckled awkwardly: "When they saw the plan couldn’t work, they revealed their true colors and decided to directly snatch it."

"So that Mu Mu is also from the Sakura Sect?"

"Correct." The ancestor of the Willow Association nodded: "Mu Mu is likely a fake name, but from what I observed that day, he isn’t a significant figure in the Sakura Sect."

"That’s for sure. Those in the Sakura Sect around my age are probably inheritors or at least at the Young Sect Leader level. If they come to the Star Sea Land, given the deep-rooted hatred Star Sea people have towards Witch Country people, they’d likely lose their lives here, so naturally, they sent some lesser figures."

"Even a small figure like Mu Mu possesses such strength, so the Sakura Sect is not to be underestimated."

The ancestor of the Willow Association advised earnestly: "Zixuan, this time, the favor I need you to help with, you should have guessed."

"Retrieve that bracelet and reclaim the treasure that belongs to us Star Sea!" Liu Zixuan spoke gravely. An intangible pressure suddenly emerged.

After all, this time, it is to fight for Star Sea, to reclaim the treasures that belong to Star Sea, while also offending the Sakura Sect, even the entire Witch Country!

The ancestor of the Willow Association nodded: "Correct, but you also have the right to choose. You can go, but you may face the entirety of the Witch Country’s Martial Artists. Conversely, you can also honor our Star Sea and reclaim the treasures that belong to us. Or you may choose not to go, and you won’t lose anything, nor will I blame you."

"Consider it carefully, of course, the benefits I promised you will still be given."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan fell silent. He needed to carefully consider the pros and cons involved. After all, there were too many unknowns and challenges to face.

"It’s too dangerous," Liu Ruyan said. "During my time at the Willow Association, I’ve heard that the overall strength of Martial Artists worldwide is not weak. The Witch Country likely has immensely powerful forces. If accidentally offended, it could lead to utter ruin."

"Indeed, perhaps it’s better not to go. Wait until your strength grows stronger, then there might be a chance to go later," Bai Jingjing echoed.

However, the beautiful master looked at Liu Zixuan and said: "Opportunities and dangers always coexist, your journey has just begun. Sometimes the grind of danger is not entirely wrong."

Liu Zixuan suddenly raised his head: "I will go!"

"Are you sure?" the ancestor of the Willow Association asked in a deep voice.

"For the public, it is to fight for Star Sea; for personal, it is something Qingning cares deeply about, so whether public or private, I must go!" Liu Zixuan said firmly.
