Reborn Medicine King

1That was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, a figure so elusive he was rarely seen. Yet there he stood, in that very spot. Typically, even when accompanying emperors from other dynasties, they were always the center of attention, never stepping back even half a pace. But now, those two masters seemed more like attendants.    

    

At this moment, the most uncomfortable person was Fang Xiang. He wasn't keen on leaving with the two masters, but Jiang Fann and Black Wolf surely had his best interests at heart, so he had no choice but to follow. Still, the situation made him feel uneasy. His wanted posters were still plastered at the city gates and many places within the city. Being sandwiched between these two prominent figures was far from comfortable.    

    

Throughout the journey, Night Sky and the other person barely spoke, leaving Fang Xiang, who was usually quite the conversationalist, feeling awkward and unsure of what to say. As they entered the city, the cultivators inside couldn't help but steal glances at them. The city had strict rules against demonic beasts entering freely, unless they were powerful enough to take human form. Yet, the guards dared not approach, kneeling on one knee from a distance out of respect for the emperor.    

    

Fang Xiang suggested, "Maybe I should have Black Wolf return to his space. This is really too out of line."    

    

"No need, just do as you please, Holy Son," came the reply.    

    

At that moment, he waved over a guard from afar, who quickly ran over.    

    

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"    

    

"Take this team into the city right now and withdraw all the wanted notices issued for that kid, Xingtian Yong, over the past year. Then, announce my decree: The Second Prince's actions have violated our family rules. Effective immediately, he is to be placed under house arrest for ten years, and all his previous orders are nullified."    

    

Upon hearing this, the guard responded promptly, "I'll take care of it right away."    

    

"Go on!"    

    

The guard stood up and left with his team in a hurry.    

    

Then, turning to Fang Xiang, he said, "You can rest assured, Holy Son. I will resolve this matter as quickly as possible. As for the Zhongtian Dynasty, Elder Ye should be able to handle it."    

    

Ye Changtian added, "Holy Son, you needn't worry. Once news of your appearance spreads, I believe our Majesty will personally step in to resolve everything. We just didn't expect you to reveal yourself under these circumstances, and it's a bit embarrassing that we almost harmed you."    

    

Fang Xiang replied, "I only recently received the inheritance. I intended to keep my identity hidden, but after using my powers, the two of you recognized me."    

    

Black Wolf chimed in, "When Ye Changtian was just a kid, the Ye family was affiliated with the Thunder Sect. During his training journeys, he often passed through my territory, so I remember him."    

    

At this moment, the Emperor spoke up, "You may not know me, Elder, but I am aware of your identity. I am from the Xing family, and my name is Xing Zhan."    

    

Black Wolf suddenly realized, "The Xing family! No wonder you looked familiar. I never expected your family to become such a powerhouse. It's really surprising."    

    

Xing Zhan replied, "After that incident years ago, my father got the chance to go to the Ancestral Realm and successfully reached the Celestial Stage. Our family seized the opportunity. If my father knew you were still around, he'd be thrilled."    

    

Black Wolf asked in surprise, "Is he in the city?"    

    

Xing Zhan shook his head, "My father has been training abroad, always seeking greater power. I've been left in charge here. We're all waiting for the Holy Son to appear. If my father returns, I'll be sure to let you know first."    

    

Xing Zhan spoke politely to Black Wolf, without any arrogance.    

    

As they approached the palace, Black Wolf was returned to Fang Xiang's pet space, while he and Ye Changtian entered the palace. He realized that his status was about to change dramatically. Before reaching the Celestial Realm, he would never have had the chance to interact with such important figures. Even his master would need permission to speak directly with them.    

    

...    

    

In less than half a day, explosive news about Jiang Fann and the others spread rapidly.    

    

At the headquarters of the Nine Heavens Pavilion:    

    

"Fang Xiang! Fifth level of the Mortal Separating Stage? Called the Holy Son by Xing Zhan of the Sui Dynasty? Can this news be confirmed?"    

    

"Are you sure about this? It's not just him; Wan Chengfeng has already reached the Reincarnation Stage, and that cultivator named Jiang Fann has hit the ninth level of the Dao Understanding Stage. Who knows what happened over the past year."    

    

"What exactly is the identity of the Holy Son? Could it be..."    

    

The messenger on the other side replied, "It's not just Xing Zhan. Even Ye Changtian from the Central Dynasty calls him the Holy Son and shows him great respect. It seems he really is that person."    

    

"I never expected the Holy Son of the Thunder Sect to be Fang Xiang. Following Jiang Fann's fortune is truly unpredictable. Have his master come see me now..."    

    

Fire Valley.    

    

"Ancestor, we've received word that all factions have withdrawn their warrants for Jiang Fann and his group. It seems the issue has been resolved, though we don't know what happened."    

    

Zhu Rong said, "I've heard a bit of news too. If it's true, then we don't need to worry about them. Young people really can work miracles."    

    

Outside, the talk about Fang Xiang is undoubtedly the hottest topic, even overshadowing Wan Chengfeng of the Reincarnation Stage. After all, it's rare for someone so young to command such respect from the big players. And with Jiang Fann having a servant at the peak of the Reincarnation Stage, this news is explosive. From today on, anyone thinking of targeting Jiang Fann will have to seriously consider if they have what it takes.    

    

Near the royal city of the Sui Dynasty, Wan Chengfeng was practicing alone, seemingly in good spirits. Fang Xiang had been gone for most of the day without sending any news back. Meanwhile, Jiang Fann was inside a mystical cave, checking on Mo Jiuyou's recovery. Although progress was slow, there were noticeable improvements. As long as Mo Jiuyou persisted, a full recovery was just a matter of time.    

    

Every so often, Jiang Fann needed to replenish Mo Jiuyou with some Natural Aura to help heal his injuries and extend his life expectancy. This was no big deal for Jiang Fann. Mo Jiuyou was also regaining his spirits. Learning they had returned to the upper realms didn't elicit much reaction from him, as he already knew from Jiang Fann that his old acquaintances had left, having been expelled. Revealing himself might not be wise.    

    

Leaving the mystical cave, Jiang Fann glanced at Wan Chengfeng nearby and then checked Fang Xiang's location using a Spirit Attached Jade. Fang Xiang was still in the royal city and hadn't moved, indicating he was likely unable to leave anytime soon.    

    

Wan Chengfeng remarked to Jiang Fann, "Do you think that kid's been put under house arrest by those people?"    

    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "House arrest seems unlikely. That kid's lucked out. If those big shots treat him like that, his status as a holy son might even surpass that of emperors. Now I'm more curious about the Gan Lei Sect from back then, but that's not our concern. We should focus on improving our skills, that's what really matters."    

    

The two were chatting when Fang Xiang's Spirit Attached Jade showed a fluctuation in spiritual strength. Jiang Fann sensed the power above; it was Fang Xiang calling them to the capital, not seeking help.    

    

"He wants us to come over."    

    

So, the two got up and headed toward the capital. Before leaving, Hong Yifeng and his father thanked Jiang Fann and informed them that they would be in seclusion for a while. They assured Jiang Fann that if he needed any assistance, he could reach out.    

    

When they arrived at the capital of the Sui Tian Dynasty, it was completely open, unlike Jiang Fann's previous visit. The formations that had been set up were entirely removed, and the city seemed to have returned to its original state.    

    

At the city gate, Wan Chengfeng surveyed the surroundings and then chuckled, "I didn't expect them to act so quickly. They've already lifted the wanted notices."    

    

Jiang Fann replied, "It seems Fang Xiang's status is fully recognized now. This time, he helped us resolve our issues. It looks like the matter with the Zhong Tian Dynasty will be settled too. Li Xingchen is a bit stronger than Xing Tianyong; at least he can stay calm at critical moments."    

    

Wan Chengfeng clearly had his own opinions about these two princes.    

    

As they chatted, they walked toward the palace where Fang Xiang was waiting. He didn't invite them into the palace, likely concerned about the stronger formations inside. After all, just half a day ago, they were still in a hostile situation, and he feared the royal family might do something to Jiang Fann and his companion.    

    

Upon seeing the two, Fang Xiang got straight to the point: "They want me to spend some time in the capital of the Zhongtian Dynasty. They're planning to introduce me to some disciples of the Ganlei Sect. Do you guys want to come along?"    

    

Jiang Fann and the other person shook their heads without hesitation.    

    

Wan Chengfeng chuckled, "We figured this might happen. From their previous reactions, it's clear they take your status as the Saint Son of the Ganlei Sect very seriously. They probably won't let you wander around with us anymore, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for you."    

    

Jiang Fann said, "You take care of your own business first. I'm planning to visit the Immortal Valley with Brother Wan. If you run into any trouble, feel free to reach out to us."    

    

With that, Jiang Fann patted his shoulder and added seriously, "But you need to be careful. Those old foxes are sharp. Only say half of what you mean. Don't take everything they say at face value, especially those so-called disciples of the Ganlei Sect. Nowadays, they're in high positions, some even ruling nations. Do they really want the Ganlei Sect to rise again? These are challenges you'll have to face, so make sure you find ways to protect yourself."    

    

Wan Chengfeng suggested, "If you're worried about all that, why not just run off with us? Forget about the Ganlei Sect. As for Ye Changtian and the others, let them do whatever they want."    

    

Fang Xiang replied, "If you take me with you, won't those big shots just keep an eye on you? Staying close to them might actually help clear some obstacles for you. It's not a bad deal."    

    

"Additionally, I can try to gather information about those people for you, Elder Brother Jiang. If there's really an issue, Black Wolf would be the first to get me out of there; he wouldn't just let me risk my life for nothing. It's just a shame I can't continue to train with you all."    

    

The capabilities of the major dynasties certainly surpass those of the Heaven Pavilion. If Fang Xiang can truly mobilize those influential figures, it would indeed be good news for Jiang Fann.
