Medical Sovereign

Chapter 544 Night Lone Ranger’s Pride

“How dare you, from the Feng Family, breach the Peace Agreement by committing a crime in the public, and neglect our National Warrior’s Mansion? This is unforgivable!”

As soon as Feng Jiu finished his words, a terrifying and overwhelming force came down from the sky. Under the great pressure, Feng Jiu was the first one to collapse on the ground, face down. Yet, he didn’t dare to lose his temper. He spit out the mud in his mouth and cried with a look of fear in his eyes, “Please spare my life, senior.”

The faces of Wu Liduo and others turned pale as they knelt on the ground, trembling. They kept pleading for mercy and behaved humbly in the face of a Martial-arts God.

Not like them, Zhai Ying was not nervous at all. Instead, he looked relieved. Since the Martial-arts God had come, he was saved from the situation.

Though he had prepared for death, he still cursed Old Weirdo Chixia badly. “You damn Holy Medical Family, now the Martial-arts God has interfered. Are you satisfied now?”

Yet still, he didn’t know why Old Weirdo Chixia had told him to do that.

He was really curious about the reason.

Night Lone Ranger was curious about the reason, too, and she asked her master, Night Siren, about it.

“Because the Sky-reaching Secret Land has been used to seal the Sky-reaching Tower, the cultivation of the people that enter the land would be suppressed to below the Real Martial Arts Realm. That’s to say, even an expert at the peak of the Holy Martial Arts Realm would only be able to exert his power of the peak of the Sky Martial Arts Realm after he enters the land. Besides, we can’t use ordinary magical weapons, armors, and talismans in it.”

Looking at Night Lone Ranger, Night Siren had a serious look on her beautiful face. “Compared with the Chinese Martial Arts Practicers, the Ancient Warriors had no advantage in the Sky-reaching Secret Land. So both the Holy Medical Family and the Holy-sword Villa wan to test if the rumors are true that Xiahou Weiyang hasn’t recovered from his injuries. If the rumors are true, then they will exclude the Chinese Martial Arts Practicers when the Sky-reaching Secret Land opens this time.”

Night Lone Ranger was very clever that she immediately understood what her master meant. Chinese Martial Arts Practicer (hereinafter referred to as “CMA Practicer”) not only practiced Chinese Martial Arts but also refined their bodies, while all the Ancient Warriors were Qi Cultivators. Therefore, in the Sky-reaching Secret Land where people’s cultivation would be suppressed, the CMA Practicers had a big advantage over the Ancient Warriors.

As a matter of fact, the Ancient Warriors and CMA Practicers were on bad terms. The former had always looked down on the latter for they thought that the martial arts passed down by their ancestors were more orthodox.

Even though Xiahou Weiyang was a Martial-arts God and had forced the Four Holy Gates to sigh the Peace Agreement, the Ancient Warriors had never taken him seriously.

After all, some of the Ancient Warriors were in the Holy Martial Arts Realm, and they rarely showed their true strength due to various reasons.

The Ancient Warriors in a certain realm cherished their lives very much, so this time, when the Sky-reaching Secret Land opened, except for few experts in the God Martial Arts Realm who had one foot in the grave, other experts above the Real Martial Arts Realm wouldn’t enter the land to try their luck. Instead, they expected that the outstanding disciples in the Sky Martial Arts Realm selected from their sect would bring back some treasures and hand them over to the sect. Of course, the sect would give those disciples some cultivation resources in exchange for those treasures.

This would result in the CMA Practicers, who had a bigger advantage, seeking revenge on and killing those Ancient Warriors who always thought themselves superior to others, after they entered the Sky-reaching Secret Land. Even if the CMA Practicers wouldn’t kill the Ancient Warriors, they possibly would seize the treasures that the Ancient Warriors gained to make a fortune, which was easy for them.

Thus, from the perspective of the Ancient Warriors, shutting the CMA Practicers out of the secret land was the best solution.

Everyone had some selfish motives, including those warriors. Though the news of excluding the CMA Practicers in the trip to the secret land hadn’t been let out, and the Four Holy Gates hadn’t reached an agreement on this, the Holy-goddess Tribe had made their attitude of tacitly consenting to the matter clear since Night Siren had come to Yan Jing but didn’t interfere.

Night Lone Ranger smiled faintly. “Who is this unlucky guy that was used by the Holy Medical Family and Holy-sword Villa as the bait to test the National Warrior’s Mansion?” she asked.

“Yes, this guy is really unlucky. I heard that he was a doctor from Ninghai. I didn’t know how he offended the Demon Cult and Corpse-driven Sect, but it’s true that he has been used by the Holy Medical Family as the bait to challenge the National Warrior’s Mansion and test whether Xiahou Weiyang is injured or not.”

Night Siren spoke in an indifferent tone. She never paid much attention to those people unrelated to her.

However, Night Lone Ranger felt as if she had been struck by lightning after hearing the words. “A doctor from Ninghai? Could it be Ding Ning?” she could not help but wonder.

“What’s his name?” she asked hurriedly.

Night Siren looked at her with a strange look and shook her head, replying, “What’s his name... I can’t remember. What’s wrong?”

“Think carefully. Is his name Ding Ning? About twenty years old...”

Night Lone Ranger’s face turned pale. She kept describing what Ding Ning looked like, trying to help Night Siren recall her memories.

Seeing her worried expression, Night Siren blinked confusedly and said, “Yes, it seems that he is surnamed Ding, but I don’t know if he is named Ding Ning. He is quite young.”

“Oh no, I have to save him.”

Night Lone Ranger’s face was drained of color. She stood up all of a sudden and rushed outside resolutely.

“Stop! What’s going on? Do you know this man?”

In the face of an expert in the God Martial Arts Realm like Night Siren, it was impossible for Night Lone Ranger to run away. The moment she stepped out of the Divine Domain, she was trapped in Night Siren’s domain.

“Please let me go, please...” she cried, “I have to save him... let me save him... If he dies, I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life.”

Night Lone Ranger felt heartbroken and couldn’t help but yell in loud crying voice.

Night Siren had never seen her like that. Though she was very naive, she suddenly felt something fishy about it. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that Night Lone Ranger had a special relationship with that man. She withdrew her Divine Domain and grabbed Night Lone Ranger by the arm, asking, “Don’t talk nonsense. You can’t save him even if you go there. Tell me honestly, what’s the relationship between the two of you?”

“I... love him.”

Seeing that Night Siren’ face turned grimmer and grimmer, Night Lone Ranger realized that she had been too excited. Hold her master’s arm, she kept pleading, “Master, please save him, I beg you.”

“Lone Ranger, do you intend to let me go against the whole ancient martial world?”

Night Siren’s face looked extremely grim. She didn’t pay attention before, but after she observed Night Lone Ranger carefully, she found that she was no longer a virgin. This enraged her very much.

Night Lone Ranger collapsed on the ground, clear tears streaming down her face. Even the ground was wetted by the tears.

Her master was right. It was a matter that concerned the interest of the whole ancient martial world. Even the entire Holy-goddess Tribe could not bear the anger of the Ancient Warriors, let alone her master.

Irritated, Night Siren had wanted to question Night Lone Ranger further about her relationship with Ding Ning, but when she saw her sad look, her heart softened. “It’s not certain that he will die. Maybe the rumors are not true and Xiahou Weiyang didn’t get injured at all.”

Night Lone Ranger looked up with tears in her eyes and tried to smile, but looked even uglier than when she cried. “The rumors may be true. If Xiahou Weiyang hadn’t get injured, he would have come out during the past 20 years. Besides, the Holy Medical Family and Holy-sword Villa wouldn’t have set up the trap if they were not sure about it,” she said.

Night Siren let out a long sign. She said those words in an attempt to give Night Lone Ranger a ray of hope and comfort her. It must be true that Xiahou Weiyang was seriously injured and couldn’t recover. Otherwise, he would have taken an action long ago instead of now.

“I swear, if they kill him, I’ll spend the rest of my life in killing every one of the Holy Medical Family and Holy-sword Villa to avenge him. If I don’t keep my promise, I’ll die a terrible death and lose my soul.”

Night Lone Ranger stopped crying, a determined look on her face, as she uttered the words slowly.

“Are you crazy? What’s so good about him that you made a promise like this?”

Night Siren yelled and felt her disciple so strange.

“If he survives this time, it will only prove that he is better than me.”

Night Lone Ranger smiled bitterly, revealing her snow-white teeth, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

“He is better than you? How could this be possible? You possess the extremely rare Dark Constitution, and as long as you have enough cultivation resources, you won’t meet any bottleneck. That man is just an ordinary man, what makes you think that he is better than you?”

Night Siren didn’t believe her disciple’s words. She thought that Night Lone Ranger exaggerated Ding Ning’s ability intentionally so as to persuade her to save him for the great value of him.

“I’ve barely known him for three months, and it was at the end of August that I first met him. Do you know which realm he was in at that time?”

Thinking of the time when she and Ding Ning first met, Night Lone Ranger had a blush on her tear-streaked face.

“Which realm was he in?”

Night Siren asked in a flat tone.

“Maybe the Human Martial Arts Realm, or Xuan Martial Arts Realm.”

Night Lone Ranger’s face brightened up as she replied in a proud tone, “But when I met him again in the middle of October, he had a fight with Long Xiaotian, who had just reached the Sky Martial Arts Realm.”

“Long Xiaotian? The number one genius of the ancient martial world?” Night Siren asked surprisedly.

She had heard of this talent of the Long family who was as famous as Night Lone Ranger.

“Yes, that’s him. Do you know how many moves they exchanged back then?”

Night Lone Ranger seemed to have accepted her fate. There was strong affection in her dull eyes.

“How many? Judging from the way you praised him, I think he could exchange a dozen moves with Long Xiaotian before he was defeated. Could it be more than 30 moves?”

Night Siren replied in a pretended tone of surprise and uttered a bigger number than she thought it should be, so as not to hurt Night Lone Ranger’s feelings. In fact, she thought Ding Ning was only able to take a few moves from Long Xiaotian, for the Overlord Fist of the Long family was known for its fierceness.

“Two moves!”

Night Lone Ranger stretched out two fingers, and when she noticed Night Siren’s disappointed eyes, she explained proudly, “He defeated Long Xiaotian with two moves!”

“Well, it’s good of him to stand two moves.”

Night Siren laughed. She didn’t expect the man that Night Lone Ranger loved to be so weak that he lost to Long Xiaotian after just exchanging two blows with him.

However, soon she realized something was wrong. She asked in surprise with her eyes widened, “Did you make a mistake about it? It should be that Long Xiaotian defeated him with two moves, right?”

“I didn’t make any mistake. Long Xiaotian lost to him after taking two blows from him.”

Night Lone Ranger’s eyes glittered brightly with pride as she continued, “My man defeated Long Xiaotian with only two blows. Back then, Long Xiaotian made a breakthrough during the fight, and everyone thought that Ding Ning would lose. However, he defeated Long Xiaotian with only two blows. It was not until then that we realized he didn’t show his real strength before and that he only took Long Xiaotian as a whetstone to practice his skills.”

Night Siren was amazed. Long Xiaotian was a big figure in the ancient martial world. Night Siren thought that if Ding Ning was really as powerful as Night Lone Ranger had said, then her disciple had really found an outstanding man. Her eyes shone brightly and she felt her throat dry as she asked, “Lone Ranger, you’re not lying, are you?”

“This news has spread over every corner of the ancient martial world. Because you were not interested in those secular affairs and gossips, master, so you didn’t know about this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask any one of the ancient martial world about it. Then you will know if I’m lying or not.”

“I still don’t understand. If he were really that powerful, some sects would have found him to kill him or recruit him.”

Though Night Siren was pure-minded, she was only inexperienced in terms of conspiracies and schemes. In fact, she was very clever. That was why she could quickly find the lame part of Night Lone Ranger’s words, and uttered her doubts.

Night Lone Ranger replied calmly, “He deliberately spread the false news that his fighting power was far superior to that of others only because he had a treasure to help him. But I know that he said those words with an attempt to cause himself less trouble.”
