Urban Miracle Doctor-Chapter 988: The Legend of the Guardian!

The masked elder glanced at the young man and said, "The heritage of these hidden martial arts clans cannot be compared to those sects on the surface!"

"The fact that the Qin family hasn’t acted against Qin Han can only mean the time isn’t right, or there might be some other reason!"

Upon hearing this, the young man curiously asked, "Master, do you think Qin Han might have some connection with the Qin family?"

"Highly unlikely. That Jiang Qing was imprisoned by the Qin family for ten years, and before going to the Qin family, there was no mention of her having a child with Qin Wuyang. Qin Han is her adopted son, how could he be connected to the Qin family?!"

"If there’s any connection, it should be an opposing one!"

The young man nodded upon hearing this and said, "That’s true. Based on the information sent back, Qin Han seems to have been searching for the Qin family’s location."

"I just thought Qin Han and the Qin family share the surname Qin, so I had that thought."

Hearing this, the masked elder chuckled and said, "Having imagination is good, but it needs to be grounded in reality!"

"In the future, when you take charge of things, remember this point!"

The young man laughed and said, "Anyway, I’ll follow the master’s lead. Whatever the master says, I’ll do. No need for me to spend effort."

"Don’t think like that. The Eternal Life Hall might be handed over to you to manage in the future!" the masked elder said after looking at the young man.

Upon hearing this, the young man’s face showed shock. He quickly knelt on one knee before the masked elder and said with a trembling voice, "Master, after all these years, you should know me well. I’ve never had the desire to claim the position of Hall Master!"

The masked elder looked at the fearful young man and said somewhat helplessly, "I didn’t say you had the desire; I merely said that after I die, I want to entrust the Eternal Life Hall to you!"

"Master won’t die; I won’t covet the position of Hall Master either!" the young man said hurriedly.

The masked elder sighed and said, "I mean it!"

"I mean it too!" the young man said.

The masked elder looked at the young man without speaking, then said after a long while, "What if I die in the future?"

"Master won’t die!" the young man said.

The masked elder said, "I mean if!"

"There’s no if!" the young man stubbornly said.

The masked elder looked at the young man, amused yet helpless, and said, "Stand up, let’s talk about this later!"

The young man stood up and stayed by the masked elder’s side.

"Speaking of Qin Han’s medical skills, they truly are remarkable. Years ago, the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect wounded me with a sword, leaving a lasting internal injury that Qin Han managed to heal!" the masked elder said.

"Master, actually I’ve always been puzzled. Qin Han isn’t from the Holy Medicine Sect. Even if he’s from the Holy Medicine Sect, they probably wouldn’t recognize your sword wound. Why did you go to such lengths to disguise your injury back then?" the young man asked in confusion.

The masked elder shook his head and said, "Remember, in the future, whatever you do must be foolproof. Although Qin Han isn’t from the Holy Medicine Sect, what if someone from the Holy Medicine Sect happens to be at Qin Han Medical Hall?"

"And what if this person happens to recognize that my sword wound was left by the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect back then?"

The young man stared at the elder in surprise and said, "Master, the odds of that are too small, right? You told me, back then during the fight with the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect, there were only two people on the mountaintop. How could anyone else know?"

"Even if there’s a one in ten thousand chance, it’s best to be prepared!" the masked elder said.

Then the masked elder looked at the young man and said calmly, "Do you know why I’ve been hiding my identity all these years?"

"I don’t know!" the young man shook his head.

Truthfully, the young man had always been puzzled. Given the power of the Eternal Life Hall, the master had no need to hide.

"In the martial arts world of Dragon Kingdom, there’s a group whose strength has nearly reached the pinnacle. When I say pinnacle, I’m not talking about the late Heavenly Realm, which is just an ant-like level!"

After hearing the masked elder’s words, the young man looked at him in shock and exclaimed, "The late Heavenly Realm is just an ant?"

"Below the Saint Realm, all are ants!" the masked elder said calmly.

"The Saint Realm?" the young man stared dazedly at the elder and murmured.

The masked elder nodded and continued, "You should know some of these things. Otherwise, if I really am gone one day, you’ll be able to avoid certain things."

"In the martial arts world, the highest known realm today is the late Heavenly Realm. Only a few know of the existence of the Saint Realm!"

"Martial artists defy the heavens in their cultivation, practicing martial arts, tempering their bodies, maximizing their body’s potential. Reaching the Saint Realm is almost identical to those mythical cultivators, except they can’t fly. I even suspect that the legendary cultivators are just Saint Realm martial artists!"

"Before Dragon Kingdom was established, there were legends of Guardians on this land. The people I’m talking about are Guardians. Guardian is just a title, not a single person. They are responsible for guarding the living beings of this land in Dragon Kingdom."

"According to them, any force that’s not righteous can be killed!"

"After Dragon Kingdom was established, because of the existence of the Divine Dragon Society, these Guardians gradually faded from people’s view. And the Divine Dragon Society was actually established by one of the Guardians."

"People like us are considered demonic by the Guardians!" the masked elder snorted coldly, "What I evade are those Guardians. Over the years, I’ve encountered quite a few Guardians testing me, but I’ve managed to avoid them all."

"Even though the power of the Eternal Life Hall is now quite strong, personally, I’m still very far away from the Guardians in strength, forcing me to be like this."

"Do you really think I enjoy hiding behind a mask all the time?" the masked elder sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded and said, "Master, does it mean you can only remove the mask when you reach the Saint Realm?"

"Yes!" the masked elder said.

The young man remained silent upon hearing this. In his understanding, the late Heavenly Realm already transcends worldly existence. The Saint Realm, how easy could it be to achieve!

The masked elder noticed the thoughts in the young man’s mind and said calmly, "Soon, it won’t be long!"

Upon hearing the masked elder’s words, the young man looked at him with delight and said, "Master, are you soon to reach the Saint Realm?"

"Once the master reaches the Saint Realm, will our Eternal Life Hall finally be able to truly appear before the world?"

The masked elder nodded and said, "Once I reach the Saint Realm, it will be the time for the Eternal Life Hall to emerge. I want to show those Guardians that the so-called righteous and demonic paths have no real division!"

"Master, is it because we trade organs that we’re defined as demonic?" the young man asked in confusion.
