Strongest Medical Saint

After deducing the location where the Prophecy Stele had once appeared,

Shen Feng did not delay any longer here. He temporarily deactivated the formation atop Nine Dragons Mountain, led Xu Huifang and others into the mountain's estate, exchanged a few cordial words with Zhang Xuezheng and the others, and then left.

Of course, before leaving, he reactivated the formation atop Nine Dragons Mountain.

Liu Qicang and Qiao Dongce insisted on accompanying Shen Feng to his destination. The Heavenly Medicine Sect's Treasure Ship was also fast, so in the end, Shen Feng no longer declined their offer.

Meanwhile, as Shen Feng and the others headed towards the sea area where the Void Mysterious Turtle had discovered the mysterious black box,

Within a courtyard of the Star Cloud Pavilion in the Martial Arts World,

All the Great Elders were on high alert, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

Inside a room of this courtyard,

Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan sat filled with anxiety. Ever since they learned that the sects from thousands of years ago had all re-emerged and Shen Feng would definitely be targeted, they swore they would not commit any act of ingratitude, as after all, Shen Feng had saved their lives.

There was more than one Supreme Elder in Star Cloud Pavilion, and behind the scenes, Star Cloud Pavilion was linked to one of the ancient sects from thousands of years ago.

Xia Baikang did not want Star Cloud Pavilion to be involved in this affair and originally did not plan to inform the other Supreme Elder about Shen Feng's identity so soon.

However, forced by circumstances, in order to restrain Star Cloud Pavilion, he revealed that Shen Feng was none other than Shen Xiaoyao. He also prepared to leave Star Cloud Pavilion together with Xia Muyan.

But it wasn't just the other Supreme Elder, Wu Chennian, who opposed Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan in assisting Shen Feng. Including Xia Muyan's parents, all the elders of the sect unanimously opposed.

In the eyes of Wu Chennian and others, many ancient sects from thousands of years ago were all eyeing Shen Feng. Regardless of whether Shen Feng was Shen Xiaoyao, he definitely would not be a match for those ancient sects, and even the sect behind Star Cloud Pavilion was observing from the sidelines.

This sect, thousands of years ago, could only be considered as a second-rate force.

Therefore, Wu Chennian and the others were even less likely to allow Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan to assist Shen Feng, fearing it could bring a lot of trouble to both Star Cloud Pavilion and its backing sect.

Xia Muyan, with furrowed brow, spoke, "Grandfather, are we really going to just stay here?"

Xia Baikang's face was filled with anger, then he sighed and said, "Old Wu's strength is not weaker than mine, and with so many elders outside, we simply cannot leave Star Cloud Pavilion."

Worry filled Xia Muyan's beautiful eyes, "Grandfather, do you think he's alright now?"

Xia Baikang was silent for a while before saying, "Muyan, there are some things we cannot change. Senior Shen's destiny is in his own hands. I just don't know if we can repay the life-saving gratitude we owe to Senior Shen in this lifetime."

While Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan were conversing,

Outside the room,

An old man with all white hair and beard stood at the doorway, constantly sensing the movements inside. He was the other Supreme Elder of Star Cloud Pavilion, Wu Chennian.

He called into the room, "Elder Xia, I will compensate you for this affair in the future, but you must understand, even if Shen Feng is Shen Xiaoyao, even if his cultivation is strong, do you think he can defeat the sects from thousands of years ago? Don't bring trouble to Star Cloud Pavilion, don't bring trouble upon yourself."

However, just as his voice fell,

A Star Cloud Pavilion disciple in his thirties rushed into the courtyard, approached Wu Chennian with utmost respect, and said, "Old Ancestor, the latest news— the Supreme Elders of Thunder Sound Hall and Fire Burning Valley from thousands of years ago all died at the hands of Shen Feng, and the Heavenly Medicine Sect's Supreme Elder has acknowledged Shen Feng as their leader. It is said that the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses from Thunder Sound Hall and Fire Burning Valley had no power to resist in Shen Feng's hands."

Upon hearing this,

Wu Chennian was suddenly taken aback. He had learned quite a bit about the ancient sects from his own sect.

Thousands of years ago, Thunder Sound Hall, Fire Burning Valley, and Heavenly Medicine Sect were all notable powers, especially Fire Burning Valley and Heavenly Medicine Sect, which far surpassed his own backing sect by a great deal. These sects with deep foundations were now reappearing in the world and would definitely not be weak.

What level of existence was the Nascent Soul Stage? Wu Chennian could hardly imagine. He questioned, "Is the news reliable?"

The disciple dared not hesitate and said, "Old Ancestor, some elders of Heavenly Medicine Sect have returned to their own sect, and they have personally confirmed this matter. It is said that they are calling Shen Feng the first on Earth, and those at the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul were no different from chickens and dogs in Shen Feng's hands."

To think that behind Star Cloud Pavilion, the strongest was only at the Half-step Nascent Soul!

After swallowing hard a few times, Wu Chennian turned his gaze to the door in front of him. If all of this was true, what would be his fate after Shen Feng found out he had limited the freedom of Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan? What would be the fate of the Star Cloud Pavilion?

A look of panic flashed across his face as Wu Chennian hurriedly pushed open the door and upon seeing Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan, he said with a smile, "Baikang, you and Muyan have had a hard time these last few days. I absolutely won't restrict your freedom anymore, you can go find Senior Shen."

Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan hadn't heard the conversation outside just now, so, filled with confusion, they listened as Wu Chennian awkwardly explained the situation.

This revelation made the expressions of Xia Baikang and Xia Muyan incredibly animated. They had ultimately underestimated Senior Shen's strength!

Xia Baikang's mustache bristled as he glared and shouted, "Old Wu! Old Wu! It seems the older you get, the more you regress. You know to make amends now, but don't you think it's too late?"

"Senior Shen can easily deal with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, so these ancient sects reappearing after thousands of years can only be suppressed by him."

"Who would've thought that I, an old man, would get to know such a figure in my later years? This is the most glorious thing in my life."

...

Meanwhile.

Gu Hengyuan of the Fish-Dragon Gate and his five cultivated Innate Grandmasters, after forecasting that Shen Feng would encounter trouble, had left the Fish-Dragon Gate prepared to lend a helping hand to Shen Feng.

However, the sudden departure of Gu Hengyuan and his group, in light of the reemergence of ancient sects from thousands of years ago, caught the attention of the other Supreme Elders, Sect Master, and multiple Elders of the Fish-Dragon Gate.

After being stopped, Gu Hengyuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his intention to assist Shen Feng.

The other Supreme Elders and Sect Master of the Fish-Dragon Gate naturally refused to let them leave, and in the end, Gu Hengyuan and his people had to force their way out.

Zhou Lianghai and other people from the Fish-Dragon Gate gave chase, even coming to blows several times. Fortunately, thanks to Gu Hengyuan's formidable strength, they managed to escape each time.

Zhou Lianghai and his compatriots from the Fish-Dragon Gate, watching Gu Hengyuan and his group's relentless advance, grew increasingly impatient.

Zhou Lianghai shouted, "Gu Hengyuan, do you really intend to go your own way?"

As his words ended,

Zhou Lianghai's communication device rang. Once he heard the voice from it, he was momentarily unable to think and yelled toward the distance, "Old Gu, stop running, your Senior Shen has destroyed Thunder Sound Hall and Fire Burning Valley from thousands of years ago, and made the Heavenly Medicine Sect submit to him. It's unlikely any sect could harm him now."

While speaking,

Zhou Lianghai seemed to have suddenly aged many years. He had never imagined that Shen Feng's strength could reach such an extent.

Hearing this,

Gu Hengyuan and his people stopped, and upon seeing Zhou Lianghai's expression, they knew he was likely not lying.

A self-satisfied smile appeared on Gu Hengyuan's lips as he said, "Senior Shen is indeed Senior Shen! You guys are short-sighted. Remember, from now on, I, Gu Hengyuan, am no longer a person of the Fish-Dragon Gate."

Having said this,

Gu Hengyuan and his group did not linger.

Zhou Lianghai and his people watched as Gu Hengyuan and the others continued to move further away, no longer having the courage to pursue. According to the news that had come in, Shen Feng was an existence capable of killing Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!

...

Of course, people like Jia Longxuan of the Three Gods Palace, after arranging things within their sect and sending out their Elders and Disciples, also wanted to assist Shen Feng.

But by the time they got wind of Shen Feng's location and arrived at Capital City, the battle had already ended. They had also heard about Senior Shen's impressive feats.

They regretted missing the opportunity to witness Senior Shen's strength firsthand.

Whether it was Xia Baikang, Gu Hengyuan, or the likes of Jia Longxuan, in their hearts, being able to get to know Shen Feng was probably regarded as the greatest glory of their lives.
