The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 746 - 743: Changes in the Ancient Martial World
Chapter 746: Chapter 743: Changes in the Ancient Martial World
An endless stream of Soul Force entered Sun Xiaomei’s body, wrapping around her withered and severed meridians, promoting rapid growth and healing.
Ye Chenfeng’s body was rapidly depleting of Soul Force, beads of sweat erupting on his forehead like bamboo shoots after rain, while the palm mark on Sun Xiaomei’s back faded over time until it completely disappeared. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
About half an hour later.
Ye Chenfeng retracted his hands and removed the silver needles from Sun Xiaomei’s body, wiped the dense sweat beads from his forehead, and after checking Sun Xiaomei’s body again, Ye Chenfeng was certain that Sun Xiaomei was out of danger, her broken meridians were all healed, and with proper medicinal treatment for a month or so, Sun Xiaomei’s health should be fully restored.
Looking at Sun Xiaomei lying on the bed with her eyes closed and breathing steadily through her nose, Ye Chenfeng said to Sun Meixin and Zhang Feng beside him, "Aunt, uncle, Xiaomei is no longer in life-threatening danger now, you two can rest assured."
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s confirmation, Sun Meixin and Zhang Feng finally let out a deep breath, and their bodies began to sway. They had been holding on because of their daughter, but now that they knew their daughter was safe, they could no longer support themselves.
Sun Meiqin quickly helped her sister Sun Meixin to lie down on the bed, while Ye Chenfeng helped Zhang Feng to lie down as well. Since Ye Chenfeng’s body was only left with a small portion of Soul Force, he gave a simple check-up to Sun Meixin and Zhang Feng and used the Ghost King Thirteen Needles to stabilize their condition temporarily. He would have to wait until the next day when his Soul Force was restored to properly treat them.
After dealing with Sun Xiaomei’s condition, Ye Chenfeng went to check on Ji Dingtian, Qin Yi, and Xue Shanshan. He also temporarily stabilized their conditions using the Ghost King Thirteen Needles.
...
Two days later.
With Ye Chenfeng depleting nearly all of his Soul Force each day, everyone’s body, including Ji Dingtian’s, had recovered and they could now focus on recuperating their health.
In those two days, Ye Chenfeng didn’t rush to ask Ji Dingtian and the others what exactly had happened but focused on healing everyone’s internal injuries first.
In the living room of the Ye family villa.
The patriarch Ye Zhenhong, Ye Donghua, Sun Meiqin, Ye Chenfeng, Sun Boyi, Ji Dingtian, and many others were present.
Sun Boyi couldn’t help but ask, "Dingtian, tell us now, what exactly happened in the Ancient Martial World? How did you end up in such a sorry state in the Secular World?"
Sitting on the sofa, Ji Dingtian seemed to recall something when he heard Sun Boyi’s question, his hands that were resting on his knees clenched into fists, his eyes turned crimson red, and his facial expression twisted ferociously.
Not only Ji Dingtian’s expression changed drastically, but Sun Meixin, Zhang Feng, Qin Yi, and Xue Shanshan also showed signs of emotional distress, breathing heavily through their noses and mouths.
Seeing the change in Ji Dingtian and the others, Sun Boyi didn’t press immediately but waited for them to regain their composure.
After a moment, Ji Dingtian first stabilized his emotions. His clenched fists abruptly relaxed, his body slowly leaned forward, and he slumped into the sofa looking defeated. He wet his dry, chapped lips before speaking, "The Ghost Doctor Sect and the Qianji Sect were annihilated. Apart from us a few who escaped, all disciples are dead."
Although Ye Chenfeng, Sun Boyi, and the others had roughly guessed what had happened in the Ancient Martial World, hearing it directly from Ji Dingtian made it difficult for them to accept at the moment.
"Senior Ji, who did this? There shouldn’t be any first-rate force capable of wiping out both the Ghost Doctor Sect and Xuantian Sect at the same time, let alone that we’ve just destroyed Guiyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect. Which first-rate sect would provoke us at this time?" Ye Chenfeng’s eyebrows were tightly knitted into a line.
"Chenfeng, it was a top-tier force that made a move against us," said Ji Dingtian, slowly exhaling.
What?
Top-tier force?
This shocked both Ye Chenfeng and the Suns, and Ye Chenfeng quickly asked, "We have no grievances with the top-tier forces, why would they target us?"
"Chenfeng, we estimated myriad possibilities, but we still missed one crucial move. The wife of Xuantian Sect’s Sect Leader Zhong Tianchi, Qiu Hongmei, was originally from the top-tier forces side. When we were besieging Xuantian Sect and Guiyuan Sect, Qiu Hongmei had already fled with her eldest son Zhong Yang from Xuantian Sect."
"At the time, not only did Qiu Hongmei and Zhong Yang escape, there were also many who slipped through the net within Guiyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect. It wasn’t easy to root them out completely and eliminate them. Furthermore, since Guiyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect no longer existed, these escaped remnants wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble, so we didn’t conduct a thorough search."
"But we absolutely did not anticipate that Xuantian Sect’s Zhong Tianchi’s wife Qiu Hongmei was a person from the top-tier forces. In those days, Qiu Hongmei and her father came over to the side of the first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate forces. Due to her poor cultivation aptitude, she was only at the bottom among the top-tier forces. Later on, since Qiu Hongmei got together with Zhong Tianchi, she chose not to return to the top-tier forces."
"I only learned of this when the top-tier forces blood washed our two major sects. Before then, no one in the first-rate, second-rate, or third-rate forces knew that Zhong Tianchi’s wife came from the top-tier forces."
"This time, thirty high-grade Heaven Rank experts, five Innate Realm experts, and one Sky-Breaking Realm expert from the top-tier forces came over. And this Sky-Breaking Realm expert was Qiu Hongmei’s father."
"Such a force was more than enough to sweep through the Ghost Doctor Sect and Xuantian Sect. None of the sects involved in the previous battles escaped, even Qingyun Sect, headed by Qin Yi’s father, and Qianji Sect, led by Xue Shanshan’s father, were exterminated."
"They first attacked our Ghost Doctor Sect. I escaped with the help of other disciples and was on my way to notify Xuantian Sect, but by then, I had already suffered severe injuries. Just after I finished informing Meixin and the others, the enemy had already advanced on Xuantian Sect."
"Left with no other choice, we planned to flee the Ancient Martial World. Fearing that you might return at any moment, it was imperative that we informed you. On the way of our escape, Xiaomei was struck by that scoundrel Zhong Yang with a palm."
"Fortunately, there is one restriction on the top-tier forces’ side: disciples of top-tier forces are not allowed to step into the Secular World. This restriction is mutually monitored by all the top-tier sects, and if any top-tier force violates this rule, they will ultimately be attacked by the rest."
"Thus, after fleeing the Ancient Martial World, we were temporarily safe and didn’t rest until we arrived at Capital City, fearing that if we were any later, the girl Xiaomei wouldn’t last much longer."
Listening to Ji Dingtian’s recount of the events that took place in the Ancient Martial World, Ye Chenfeng’s right hand lay upon the glass tea table in front of him, his rage not sufficiently controlled, and with a "bang!", the glass tea table shattered into pieces.
Sun Boyi, Sun Yang’an, Sun Xiaoli, and the other members of the Suns could no longer hide their rage. The disciples of Xuantian Sect were akin to their family members. Now that the entire Xuantian Sect had been wiped out, how could the Suns control their emotions?
"This matter was all stirred up by Guiyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect, it was only right for them to be wiped out, but the people from the top-tier forces have gone too far," said Sun Boyi angrily, his beard bristling and eyes bulging.
"Uncle Sun, what can we do now? A single Sky-Breaking Realm expert on their side is enough to sweep all of us present here. I’m afraid this deep-seated hatred might never be avenged," said Ji Dingtian, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Senior Ji, what is the name of the opposing sect?" Ye Chenfeng asked, his tone chillingly ominous, his dark eyes staring at Ji Dingtian. (To be continued.
