Nine Yang Sword Saint

Chapter 292: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 2)

First, let’s not mention Xiangxiang Beila killing herself before everyone if Yang Dingtian couldn’t treat Zhuri Beila. However, to let go of the right to inherit the chieftain position was absolutely a tremendous shock to everyone.

Zhuri Beila’s lineage had always inherited this Foxman Race branch for thousands of years. And the rights of inheritance had never once been disputed over. If the chieftain didn’t have a son, it would be inherited by his daughter. Furthermore, they would find a son-in-law to live with them. The child born from the family would still follow the family name Beila and would inherit the position of chieftain.

If the chieftain didn’t have a son or daughter, he would adopt a son from a similar race and let him inherit the chieftain position.

Therefore, when Princess Xiangxiang Beila said that she would give up her rights of succession, it was absolutely shocking. It was absolutely a great enticement to all the elders present at the scene.

Once they could become the Foxman Race’s chieftain, their family would instantly grow stronger because every family in the Half-Human Race could possess a different amount of territories and armies. To let the chieftain possess a huge amount of power, they would possess close to half of the territories and armies.

To save her father, Xiangxiang Beila was willing to cut off her means of retreat and suggested this trump card-like condition.

Currently, Leiming’s complexion had turned completely unsightly. He was naturally able to tell something was amiss. It was evident that Princess Xiangxiang Beila was filled with suspicion and caution against Leiming and Ge Lu since she was so insistent on letting Yang Dingtian treat Zhuri Beila. Furthermore, the relationship between Yang Dingtian and Xiangxiang Beila was definitely not an ordinary one. The previous hostility was definitely an act.

If so, Leiming was in danger.

In other words, it would be the time of Leiming’s death if Na Lu were able to cure Zhuri Beila because it was very likely that the current Xiangxiang Beila had already learned of Leiming’s conspiracy.

While they were fighting over who should hold the right to give the treatment, Yang Dingtian was able to expose Leiming’s conspiracy. Currently, all of the Foxman Race’s elders were around, and Leiming would never dare to kill him. It could be said that Yang Dingtian was slandering Leiming so that he could gain the right to give the treatment.

When Xiangxiang Beila used her trump card; to give up her rights to inherit the chieftain position, it caused the elders to turn silent immediately.

“That’s right. After all, the old chieftain was Princess Xiangxiang Beila’s father. She has the right to decide who should be giving him the treatment.”

“Right. Furthermore, Princess Xiangxiang Beila was the only successor when the old chieftain got injured. Basically, she is equivalent to a chieftain and has the right to exercise a chieftain’s authority.”

…

Xiangxiang Beila finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard everyone’s words.

Of course, she wasn’t confident that Yang Dingtian would be able to cure her father. Both of them barely interacted with each other, and she merely had a hazy favorable impression of him. This favorable impression was because Yang Dingtian had saved her life before. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was a human, and her heart yearned for a human. Adding on, Yang Dingtian knew how to fly and had brought her up to the sky before.

All of this was just a favorable impression and fondness. It didn’t hold any form of love a male and female should have with each other.

And when the two of them were forced to have an exceptionally intimate relationship together a moment ago, it brought forth a change to Xiangxiang Beila’s heart. Furthermore, she could only place all her hope and faith onto Yang Dingtian after she learned of Leiming’s conspiracy.

Even if Yang Dingtian weren’t able to save her father, it would still be better to give the chieftain position to one of the stronger families in the Foxman Race than the traitor Leiming.

Leiming was her adoptive brother and was also someone her father thought highly of. When Zhuri Beila adopted Leiming as his adoptive son, he was also picking a husband for Xiangxiang Beila.

Zhuri Beila was someone very sentimental. After his wife had died, he didn’t have any intention to remarry even though he only had a daughter.

Although Xiangxiang Beila didn’t have any affection for Leiming, they were still the camaraderie of a brother and sister. After Xiangxiang Beila had incidentally discovered Leiming’s secret, she was filled with disgust and hate for him.

Furthermore, when her father got unconscious because of his severe injuries, Leiming sent Xiangxiang Beila over to the Offering Temple to pray for a blessing during the elder conference. He used the oppression from virtue and chased Xiangxiang Beila away from Zhuri Beila’s side. Subsequently, he controlled all the martial forces within the chieftain’s castle completely.

Currently, Xiangxiang Beila was already filled with precautions against Leiming.

Therefore, when Yang Dingtian told her about Leiming’s ambitions, she immediately believed him after being astonished for a moment.

***

Thus, Leiming was powerless at this moment. However, he was very clear that if Yang Dingtian were to cure Zhuri Beila, it would mean his death.

Amidst the confusion, Leiming couldn’t help but glance over to Ge Lu.

Ge Lu walked out leisurely and spoke to Yang Dingtian, “Mister, please!”

Yang Dingtian went forward by a step and sat opposite of Ge Lu.

“Actually, my name is not Ge Lu but Yin Tianchong. Have you heard of it before?” Ge Lu spoke unhurriedly.

Yang Dingtian inquired within his mind hurriedly, “Master, who is this Yin Tianchong?”

Dongfang Niemie cried out, “Yin Tianchong? Previously, he was the Mystic Heaven Sect elder. Dozens of years ago, he disappeared suddenly. Who knew that he would be here. When he was in Mystic Heaven Sect, he had a high ranking position. He was a Concoction Master and Beast Speaker.”

Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes in pretense, “Yin Tianchong? Mystic Heaven Sect elder, Concoction Master, and Beast Speaker. Your position was preceded only by Patriarch Zhu. You disappeared for dozens of years. Unexpectedly, you’re here.”

This time, it was Ge Lu’s turn to be astonished. Dozens of years ago, his position in the Mystic Heaven Sect was extremely high, but he maintained a low profile. Thus, there weren’t a lot of people who knew him. In addition, Patriarch Zhu had shut off any information that was in regards to him. Therefore, there were only a small number of people who knew him in this world. Unexpectedly, Yang Dingtian knew about him. It appeared that this person’s origin wasn’t simple as well.

“Mystic Heaven Sect is the second strongest sect in this world. I’m the Mystic Heaven Sect’s Concoction Master and Beast Speaker elder. Therefore, I’m afraid there is hardly anyone who could exceed me in this world when it comes to concocting elixirs or any other aspect.” Ge Lu continued casually, “Chieftain Zhuri is responsible for the development of the Foxman Race. Therefore, the treatment had to be dependable. Hence, I would like the senior brother to tell us the name he used within human civilization. I will modestly decline it if he does indeed possess a superior ability. Of course, the senior brother will have to take note that I know every outstanding Spiritual Master and Concoction Master.”

The meaning in Ge Lu’s words was obvious. If Yang Dingtian were to attempt to impersonate someone else, he would be exposed immediately.

Yang Dingtian smiled slightly, “Before I speak out my real identity, can Mister Ge Lu tell me why did you disappear from the Mystic Heaven Sect suddenly?”

“I have offended Patriarch Zhu as I stopped him from practicing some extremely terrifying martial arts.” Ge Lu replied nonchalantly.

Yang Dingtian’s heart couldn’t help but jump. Could Ge Lu be referring to the Soul Devouring Mystic Qi as the extremely terrifying martial arts?

“Now, the senior brother should be able to tell us your true identity.” Ge Lu replied.

Yang Dingtian sighed and lifted his mantle as he revealed a hideous and sinister face, “Sea of Hades, Miejue Toutuo!”

Ge Lu’s body shivered immediately when he heard it.

The Miejue Toutuo that Yang Dingtian spoke of truly existed. He was the most outstanding Concoction Master in the Sea of Hades. During then, it was him that cured Yang Dingtian’s horrifying injuries. Yang Dingtian didn’t meet him when he woke up. However, they would frequently be in contact with each other while he was unconscious. Furthermore, he learned of his countenance through a portrait in Seas of Hades.

Therefore, this look was formed after Yang Dingtian had worn a similar human-skinned mask with makeup on, allowing him to disguise as Miejue Toutuo. Of course, they didn’t look exactly the same. However, it was extremely easy to resemble an ugly person.

“Senior brother Miejue? Is it really you?” Ge Lu was surprised, “It’s really unexpected. I believe there’s only Senior Brother Miejue who could surpass me in terms of elixir concocting and treatment technique. However, Senior Brother Miejue held an eminent position in the Sea of Hades. Why would you be stranded here? If I don’t remember wrongly, the people from Sea of Hades cannot leave the place without an order.”

Yang Dingtian sighed as he replied casually, “I have obtained a bottle of blood from the Naga Race. A golden color one.”

The complexion of everyone present at the scene changed once they heard it. The blood of Naga Race. That was an extremely valuable treasure within heaven and earth.

Different from humans, the Naga Race’s formidable strength was all accumulated within their blood. Furthermore, the blood vessels of the Naga Race were even more direct. They used colors to differentiate the grades, and the golden color was the highest grade. If there were a bottle of Naga blood, it would allow a person’s cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds regardless of whether it was done through the refinement of elixirs or modulating an elixir.

“I don’t need to continue what’s next, right…” Yang Dingtian continued.

Ge Lu replied, “Of course it should be senior giving chieftain the treatment if you are really senior brother Miejue. However, this matter is of significance. And can the senior brother justify your identity? For example, that Naga blood you spoke of?”

The words from Ge Lu were filled with harboring unfathomable motives. Yang Dingtian wouldn’t be able to prove his identity if he couldn’t bring out the Naga blood. If Yang Dingtian were able to take out the Naga blood, it would give rise to greed from the whole Foxman Race. When the time would come, it would be extremely hard for him to make it out of East Parting Grassland alive.

“I have already handed over the Naga blood long ago. Otherwise, why would I still be alive? Of course, I’m still unable to return to the human’s territory after I have handed over the Naga blood.” Yang Dingtian lamented.

“Hais, the world matters would always cause one to be filled with lament. However, the noble and unsophisticated East Parting Grassland was like the land of idyllic beauty. This is the best spot to die for people who are desireless, like us.”

“Right.” Yang Dingtian replied. However, his voice was filled with desolation.

Yang Dingtian’s acting was extremely outstanding. Even though Xiangxiang Beila knew that this male before him was Yang Dingtian, she couldn’t help but think of him as the unwanted Miejue Toutuo from Sea of Hades.

Ge Lu continued, “Of course, I believe senior brother Miejue. However, this matter is truly too important. If the senior brother cannot take out any object that can prove your identity, the little brother will be the one saving this person before us. Naturally, the senior brother can lend a hand at the side, and chieftain Zhuri will be saved from both of our cooperation.”

Yang Dingtain couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This person was really extremely shrewd. Every sentence of his was like a needle concealed in the silk floss. However, this matter was of importance. Ge Lu techniques wouldn’t entrap him as he smiled faintly, “Actually, there’s another way. Let me enlighten senior brother Yin.”

Ge Lu smiled, “Senior brother Miejue is certainly wise. Tianchong is listening with full attention!”

Yang Dingtian continued, “How about this? We will have a competition on medical expertise. Whoever is more outstanding will treat chieftain Zhuri.”

Ge Lu smiled, “Sure.”

Everyone had also nodded their heads repeatedly. They felt that this suggestion was extremely good and was very fair.

Ge Lu continued, “However, language is always number one while medicine was two. When it comes to medical expertise, it isn’t easy to define who is better. Unlike martial arts where we can conduct competitions.”

Yang Dingtian commented, “We will look for ten unconscious people. Some would be gravely injured while some would be suffering from a serious illness, etc. Any of them would be fine. Subsequently, both of us would pick five of them and conduct our medical treatment. We will see who can save the most amount of people in the shortest time. The limit will be 2 hours. How about that?”

Before Ge Lu even expressed his opinion, everyone had also nodded their heads repeatedly again, indicating that this method was impressive. On the contrary, Princess Xiangxiang Beila was filled with worries as she looked at Yang Dingtian. She was extremely clear about Yang Dingtian. She knew that he wasn’t the medical expert Miejue Toutuo, while his opponent was the genuine Mystic Heaven Sect Concoction Master Yin Tianchong. She was afraid that Yang Dingtian would lose the competition.

“Senior brother Miejue’s idea is indeed outstanding. We shall do it.” Ge Lu commented.

Immediately, both of them slammed the hammer and conducted the medical competition. Whoever won would treat Zhuri Beila’s injuries.

***

Half an hour later, ten such people were found.

All of their conditions were different from each other. They were suffering from either grave injuries, seriously ill, poisoned, withering of vitality, etc.

In short, neither party could cheat.

Ten dying people laid on the floor. Immediately, the atmosphere in the bedroom declined. However, there weren’t any howlings in grief because they didn’t even have the strength to scream.

“Senior brother Miejue, you are the senior. You can pick first.” Ge Lu spoke out with poise.

Yang Dingtian wasn’t polite and casually picked five of the dying people directly. Besides, the five people he had picked were suffering quite badly. From the looks of it, they seemed like they would die at any point in time.

Meanwhile, Ge Lu picked the remaining five.

Followingly, both parties started their treatment under everyone’s eyes. They didn’t bother to conceal it.

Ge Lu’s treatment method was like the moving clouds and flowing water as he did as he pleased. There wasn’t any difficulty or sluggishness as it was completely calm. There wasn’t any smoking aura between his moves, and it looked extremely comfortable. From a look, one could tell he was an expert. His medical technique was very similar to the Concoction Masters in this world. He infused his mystic qi to sense the situation before consuming the elixir. But compared to the other high priests, Ge Lu had an even better means of melting the elixir within his hand before delivering it over to the patient’s wounds.

The first person was already completely unconscious. His whole face was green and was so skinny to the point that he no longer looked human-like. Furthermore, his breath and heartbeat could no longer be felt.

But under Ge Lu’s treatment, his complexion had unexpectedly turned rosy gradually. Furthermore, his chest had started to undulate as he started to breathe.

In just 15 minutes, this dying person had actually opened his eyes as he sat up blankly.

Immediately, everyone present widened their eyes as they stared at this scene in disbelief.

“Deity-like skills. Brilliant…”

All of them exclaimed in admiration one after another. Immediately, traces of complacency grew on Leiming’s face while Xiangxiang Beila grew even more worried.

After treating the first patient, Ge Lu arrived before the second person.

This was a handsome youth. Currently, his eyes were opened, and he wasn’t unconscious. However, he could no longer move his body. Furthermore, his face wasn’t pale. Instead, it was flushed in a weird red.

Immediately after, an elder walked out suddenly as he bowed to Ge Lu, “Lord Ge Lu, this is my son. While fighting against the Wolfman Race, he was struck by thousands of Wolfman Race cavalries using a large hammer. His five viscera and six bowels had been shattered. Currently, he was relying on mystic qi and treasures to stay alive. Even so, he wouldn’t be able to last more than three days. I beg Lord Ge Lu to save my son.”

Ge Lu went forward hurriedly and supported that person up. He infused a trace of mystic qi to sense this youth’s injuries. Immediately, he frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong? Is he incurable?” That elder inquired in fear.

“Others might not be able to save him. But since I’m around, there might be a chance of success.” At this moment, a trace of arrogance finally appeared within Ge Lu’s speech.

Subsequently, he took out a jade tube from his bosom and poured out a red item.

That item started to wiggle after landing onto Ge Lu’s palm. Everyone was able to clearly see that it was a red worm and was somewhat similar to leeches found on earth.

“This is a Thousand Lives Deity Worm. It practically possesses an undying body. It could split into countless lives and grow or blend into any location.” Ge Lu continued, “This could be counted as a treasure in heaven and earth. Your son is lucky to have met me after I had obtained this worm. Otherwise, it would be hard to save him even if a god had appeared.”

Subsequently, a trace of mystic qi rushed up from Ge Lu’s palm as his palm grew red. It started to tremble at an extremely fast speed. Immediately, the Thousand Lives Deity Worm on his palm split into parts. From a dozen of them to several hundred to several thousand to tens of thousands. Ultimately, it grew subtle to the point that it could no longer be seen through naked eyes.

After splitting this Thousand Lives Deity Worm to its limit, Ge Lu suddenly placed his hand on the back of the youth.

Immediately, those miniature Thousand Lives Deity Worms bore their way into that youth’s body. Ge Lu circulated his mystic qi and started to control these Thousand Lives Deity Worms as he started to mend the youth’s shattered five viscera and six bowels.

Three minutes went by.

Five minutes went by.

Ten minutes went by.

Eighteen minutes went by.

A miracle occurred. The bizarre redness on this dying youth’s face had gradually dispersed as the radiance within his eyes had gradually coagulated.

Subsequently, he tried to move his immovable pair of hands before moving on to his legs. Ultimately, his eyeballs started to roll around, and his face was revealing a disbelief expression.

Just when Ge Lu’s palm left his back, the youth stood up immediately as he charged towards his father.

“Father, I’m cured. I have been cured.” That youth yelled excitedly.

Indeed, he had recovered. Although he was still somewhat weak, he no longer lacked the energy to shout.

Immediately, everyone looked at Ge Lu like they saw a deity. Meanwhile, the father and son immediately knelt and gave Ge Lu kowtow continuously.

“Mister Ge Lu is really a god. There’s not a need to have this competition at all.”
