The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 936 - 512: Journey to the Sunset Mountains

This hotel is a three-story building, and inside, Yan Xiaobao booked seven rooms, one for each member. This made the hotel owner extremely delighted as it meant more money to him since usually a group would share rooms.

"Rest," Yan Xiaobao calmly said. "We'll rest for the next four hours, then let's go see what this city has to offer."

His words immediately excited everyone, and they nodded, heading to their rooms either to rest or cultivate.

The rest was much needed for the weary experts. Although they could use the time for cultivation, each one was on the brink of falling asleep.

Some fell asleep in the bathtub; others just collapsed on the bed. Although they were sleeping on proper beds every night, and the journey was comfortable, the trip was mentally taxing. Constantly thinking about their next step, about entering the Central Palace, left them both anxious and excited, yet also exhausted, as all they could do was think about what might happen without actually doing anything. The only one still awake was Huli, lying above Yan Xiaobao, keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her, as if she was worried about something.

During the travel on the carriage, there was nothing anyone could do besides cultivate, but now they finally felt the next phase of their journey, these thoughts overwhelmed them with fatigue. Now, suddenly having an opportunity to rest, they used it to get some much-needed sleep.

Though exhausted, four hours later, everyone except Wang Julong woke up and met in the restaurant on the inn grounds.

"Let's eat together," Yan Xiaobao suggested, and the others quickly agreed. While eating, they could wait for Wang Julong to wake up and dine together.

All the dishes on the table were made from magical beasts captured within the Sunset Mountains. Some were culinary delights, very expensive, while others were more common and cheaper. Yan Xiaobao ordered a variety so that they could share and eat what they liked.

The restaurant was crowded, and Yan Xiaobao found a table at the back, away from the roadside. Although no one around knew their true destination, it was not a good idea to cause trouble.

As they chatted in the restaurant for a few hours, more and more people arrived while others made their departure. Yan Xiaobao watched as a large group of experts entered the restaurant, loudly and looking rough.

"This town has no pretty women! What do they expect us to do? We should move to a bigger city," one of them said as they entered, causing the rest of the restaurant to quiet down. Other than this group, the only conversations heard were whispers among others. Even Yan Xiaobao and his team watched them silently, yet others looked at them fearfully, while Yan Xiaobao's group only had curiosity in their eyes.

"Oh! Look at that beauty!" someone suddenly said, pointing at the stairs, making Yan Xiaobao and his friends look up. When they saw the beauty, they couldn't help but shake their heads. "Should we help?" Sha Yun whispered worriedly as she saw the greed in the eyes of these rouge cultivators. The beauty descending the stairs was Wang Julong, dressed in green, and seeing her appearance, Sha Yun couldn't help but feel angry. She had already considered Wang Julong family, as a sister, clearly above these men looking at her.

Yan Xiaobao smiled and shook his head, surprising the others.

"She is an Emperor," Yan Xiaobao said seriously. "Those experts, the strongest one is King-level, while the others are Dukes. In a small town like this, King Ranking experts are strong, but Ju Long isn't easy to handle for anyone, even those at her level."

Yan Xiaobao continued, "She is a Poison Master and an expert of the Emperor. While beating the whole group might be impossible for others, do you truly believe a Poison Master can't defeat a group of experts weaker than herself?"

After a moment of quiet, the others realized he was right. "We've never actually seen Ju Long fight," he continued watching the events unfold before him. "Although she's done everything possible to avoid fighting, don't underestimate her. If she wasn't worthy of being our companion, why would I allow her to travel with us? You know I can't stand to see her hurt, so it's obvious I believe in her ability to take her along."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded. Their view towards Wang Julong changed drastically; their eyes now filled with anticipation rather than worry, expecting how Wang Julong would handle these rowdy experts.

Wang Julong's eyes scanned the downstairs, pausing at the crowd before she spotted Yan Xiaobao and the others. She took decisive steps towards them without giving the other group a glance.

"Looks like she's with someone. Get back here!" one expert shouted, but Wang Julong completely ignored him, heading to a seat waiting for her at Yan Xiaobao's table.

"Capture her! The leader fancies her, so bring her to him. Anyone who blocks us will be eliminated," the group of ten experts charged across the room, oblivious to what they were destroying along the way.

Tables were knocked over, plates and glass shards crashed to the floor, causing food to splatter everywhere.

As they reached Wang Julong, all raised their hands to grab her, but she easily evaded them, her hands flickered, spiritual energy left her body forming a small cloud around her. The moment their hands tried to penetrate the cloud, their arms began to corrode, and all released chilling screams.

Their arms turned black, consumed by the mist; as the advancing experts collapsed to the ground, their screams echoed throughout the restaurant. Wang Julong coldly gazed at them, sighed, then turned her head towards the trembling King-level expert. "These three need to sever their infected limbs, or else they'll die," she said, as if indifferent, walking to Yan Xiaobao's table, sitting down, and enjoying the delicacies on her plate, as if specifically prepared for her.

The King Ranking expert rushed to his friends' side to sever their infected limbs, yet despite being filled with fear, he was not foolish enough to continue attacking Wang Julong. Seeing his subordinates injured by her alone informed him she was far stronger.

Many experts in the restaurant looked at Wang Julong as though she was a celestial descended from the sky. Her actions left everyone in the restaurant with eyes full of surprise gazing at their group.

Yan Xiaobao sighed and shook his head. So much for staying low-key and not attracting attention. However, if Wang Julong hadn't stopped them, he would have had to intervene, which might have been less pleasant. He might not have let them off with just missing limbs.

"You're actually such a terrifying mother!" Qiao admired her voice, her eyes were filled with wonder and excitement.

"It's nothing," Wang Julong's face blushed as she tried to focus on the turtle meat before her, attempting to slice it off her leg.

Others joined in, praising Wang Julong. Even Deng Wu was excited, "Let me spar with you!" he excitedly said, but as he spoke, a roasted carrot landed on his face. "If you want a duel, why not fight me? I'd gladly teach you how to battle." Yan Xiaobao smiled.

"No, Brother Yan! Please don't! I swear I'm just joking!" Hearing the plea in his voice, everyone around the table started laughing. Even the embarrassed Wang Julong couldn't hold back her laughter.
