Strongest Medical Saint

```

Is it really one mistake after another?

A mocking expression appeared on Xia Baikang's face. Senior Shen was his lifesaver; what fault was there in his actions?

He and Wu Chennian were both Supreme Elders of the Star Cloud Pavilion, and they had been fellow disciples back in the day. In their youth, they had even braved life and death together numerous times. It's just that people do change over time.

Xia Muyan, on the other hand, was clenching her lips tightly as she looked at the middle-aged couple standing beside Wu Chennian—her biological parents, Xia Wenrui and Li Danrong.

With a complex expression, Xia Wenrui looked at Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan, saying, "Dad, Muyan, why must you be so stubborn? Can't you consider the Star Cloud Pavilion for once?"

Li Danrong then also said, "Muyan, stop being capricious. Going to the elders of the Nine Souls Sect to apologize now is your only choice if you want to live."

Hearing her parents' voices, Xia Muyan bit her lip even harder, to the point where trickles of fresh blood began to seep from her lips. A faint taste of blood arose on the buds of her tongue.

Was she being capricious? Why should she have to apologize to the people of the Nine Souls Sect?

Seeing the blood on Xia Muyan's lips, Xia Baikang roared, "Enough, have you said enough?"

"Xia Wenrui, Li Danrong, look at yourselves now. Do you possess the awareness of being parents?"

"Muyan and I owe our lives to Senior Shen. Gratefulness and the desire to repay kindness are fundamental virtues of being human. What wrong has Muyan done?"

"We don't consider the Star Cloud Pavilion? We already said we could leave the Star Cloud Pavilion. If a person can't even have the basic decency to be grateful and repay kindness, do they still deserve to be called human? Muyan and I can't do the deed of being ungrateful and treacherous."

The expressions in Xia Wenrui's and Li Danrong's eyes flickered incessantly. They were always rather pragmatic people. Given the current situation, choosing to stand against sects like the Cloud Martial Sect would inevitably lead to a dead end.

If death awaited them in the end, why willingly walk towards it?

Xia Wenrui and Li Danrong couldn't bring themselves to embrace death for naught, even if it was for their kin. Moreover, they had never met Shen Feng.

Xia Wenrui's expression grew more resolute by the moment. He said, "Dad, Muyan, you have your choices, and Danrong and I have ours. Since it's come to this, from this moment on, we have no relation to each other."

Upon hearing these words,

Xia Muyan was stunned, rooted to the spot.

Even Xia Baikang was slow to come back to his senses.

Xia Wenrui was decisively harsh; he had decided to sever ties with his father and daughter completely at this juncture.

Seeing how events had unfolded to this point, Wu Chennian realized that Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan would not turn back. He waved his sleeve with a cold voice and declared, "Xia Baikang, you better watch out for yourselves!"

"If the Nine Souls Sect decides to take action against you, then I will be the one to personally send you on your way."

At the moment when Wu Chennian and the others gave up on Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan completely,

Gu Hengyuan and the five Innate Grandmasters by his side all frowned.

They spotted another Supreme Elder of the Fish-Dragon Gate, Zhou Lianghai, and others approaching, with the backing of their sect, Earth Absolute Mansion, this time.

Three years ago,

when Gu Hengyuan and others had forcefully broken away from the Fish-Dragon Gate trying to help Shen Feng, they were pursued and hunted by Zhou Lianghai and a group from the Fish-Dragon Gate.

In the midst of the pursuit, after learning about what had happened in Capital City, Zhou Lianghai immediately showed goodwill to Gu Hengyuan.

But sadly, at that time, Gu Hengyuan declared that he was no longer a person of the Fish-Dragon Gate.

```

At that time, Zhou Lianghai seemed to have aged a great deal in an instant. Now, seeing Gu Hengyuan on the verge of death brought him immense pleasure—he had come here many times already.

"Gu Hengyuan, you were once a genius within the Martial Arts World, but now you are less than nothing. In the face of a sect that has existed for thousands of years, do you really think you can turn the tide with your own strength?"

"Even if Shen Feng, whom you're so hoping for, appears, do you think he can make it in time? The moment you decided to sever ties with the Fish-Dragon Gate, your fate was already sealed."

Zhou Lianghai's face grew more and more sneering as he continued, "Three years ago, you called us short-sighted fools."

"And who is laughing now, three years later? The Earth Absolute Mansion's predecessors are very dissatisfied with your betrayal, and for now, you are temporarily protected by the Heavenly Medicine Sect."

"But if the formation on Nine Dragons Mountain breaks later, and the people of the Heavenly Medicine Sect still refuse to submit, then all of you will be reporting to Yama's Palace."

Gu Hengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his upright aura giving off the sense of a hero at the end of his days. He took a deep breath and declared, "Zhou Lianghai, do you know why I've always looked down on you since I was young? You are very cunning and unscrupulous in order to achieve your goals. As the saying goes, 'Those who do not share the same values cannot work together.' I seek the peak of the martial path, never once concealing my sharpness, and that's why you will never truly surpass me in strength."

"Even if Senior Shen cannot appear in time this time, what of it? Even if I have to report to Yama's Palace today, so what? I, Gu Hengyuan, only ask to be true to my conscience."

Zhou Lianghai fell silent with a dark expression, merely waiting for the moment the formation on Nine Dragons Mountain would be broken.

Time slipped by, second by second.

The Heavenly Spirit Thousand Illusion Array on Nine Dragons Mountain grew more unstable, and even the ground around it began to tremble faintly.

Liu Qicang, Xia Baikang, Gu Hengyuan, and others had extremely ugly expressions, while Jia Shouhong and others from the Three Gods Palace looked a bit better. At the very least, they didn't have any traitors appear or anyone come after them specifically.

But just at that moment,

two figures stepped out of one of the treasure ships in the sky, their aura entirely at the Half-step Nascent Soul level.

Jia Shouhong, Jia Zheyi, Jia Longxuan, and Ding Wangyun felt uncertain at the sight of these two old men, recognizing the familiar aura emanating from them.

These two old men were appearing before Jia Shouhong and the others for the first time.

When the two old men's feet touched the ground firmly, their gaze settled on Jia Shouhong and the others.

One of the old men, with a black mole on his nose, spoke up, "Thousands of years ago, there was a rebellion within the Three Gods Palace, resulting in the palace being split into two factions, and your ancestors, from one of these factions, ended up defeated."

"In the end, as the cultivation world faced its apocalypse, as a punishment to your faction, you were left behind in the mundane world."

"Back then, nearly all the strong individuals of your faction were annihilated, while our orthodox Three Gods Palace disappeared from the mundane world for a time."

"We originally didn't want to show ourselves, considering you're also a branch of the Three Gods Palace. Come back with us now! The things happening here are not for people like you to meddle in."

Such a secret had never been expected within the Three Gods Palace.

Even Jia Shouhong and the others were not very clear about it, but after hearing these words, they finally understood why these two old men felt so familiar to them.

The old man with the mole on his nose was called Zhong Anhou, and the other old man was called Sun Youli.

They had arrived on a treasure ship from the Nine Souls Sect, as the connection between their Three Gods Palace and the Nine Souls Sect had been quite extraordinary thousands of years ago.

That's why there were no banners of the Three Gods Palace on the ten or so treasure ships in the sky.

Jia Shouhong and Jia Longxuan were well aware that Senior Shen came from the Immortal Realm, and they still wished to follow Senior Shen to the Immortal Realm! Even after learning the identities of Zhong Anhou and Sun Youli, they remained unmoved.

Jia Longxuan couldn't help but speak, "I will repeat the same warning, in light of the fact that you're also from the Three Gods Palace, I advise you to withdraw immediately. Senior Shen is not someone you can provoke; if you do, you will live to regret it dearly."
