Reborn Medicine King

The arrogance was palpable, yet it didn't seem to weigh on him at all. On the other hand, the Myriad Clouds Mountain side fell into an uneasy silence.    

The Heaven Supporting Divine Wood spoke to the old dragon hidden within, "Why don't you show yourself? Don't tell me we have to rely on Tao Zhen to handle this guy. There's no way he can be a match."    

The old dragon replied, "This guy is tough, from the Giant Power Clan of the Great World. See his arms? That's the power of his bloodline, a natural gift. Born with the strength to split mountains, their clan is small but each member is formidable. They act without restraint, and his abilities surpass mine. Plus, our clans don't get along. It's a tricky situation, and if I show up, I might just make things worse."    

The Heaven Supporting Divine Wood retorted, "Why are you telling me all this? You need to figure out a solution. I can step in, but I won't last long."    

Even though Tao Zhen knew he wasn't a match, as a senior member of the Heaven Pavilion, he couldn't afford to show weakness in front of so many disciples. "If you have something to say, say it directly to me. If not, please leave now."    

The expert from the Mighty Strength Clan appeared a bit impatient, casting a cold glance at his opponent. He prepared to strike again, aiming to attack the formation. Just then, the formation suddenly conjured a red spiritual longsword, slashing directly at him with astonishing force. The Mighty Strength Clan expert couldn't dodge in time and met the attack with his fist.    

Boom—    

The impact caused a violent explosion outside the gate, sending the Mighty Strength Clan cultivator flying several feet before he regained his balance, a hint of surprise on his face. Tao Zhen was equally shocked, as the formation's power had activated on its own without him using the control token. Even if he had been controlling it, he couldn't have unleashed such a powerful attack.    

To him, the formation seemed almost alive at that moment, behaving like a cultivator. The spiritual energy within the formation became incredibly active, forming a series of weapons that, as the dust settled, surrounded the Ancient God Clan cultivator from multiple directions.    

The Mighty Strength Clan cultivator sensed the sharpness of the weapons but remained unafraid. His arms began to transform into a diamond-like state, quickly spreading until half his body was encased in this diamond form. His aura expanded, subtly causing the heavens to tremble, signaling that he was on the verge of reaching the Reincarnation Realm.    

Beams of light shot out, instantly releasing energy and striking in different directions, clashing with the weapons formed by the array.    

Boom! Boom! Boom!    

A series of explosions echoed, and the entrance was quickly engulfed in dust and smoke.    

In the Jiang family courtyard, Jiang Fann sighed, "I didn't expect they'd come after all."    

His mother looked worried, "With all that noise, is everything okay outside?"    

Seeing his mother's concern, Jiang Fann's expression turned reassuring. "It's a minor issue. Let's continue our meal. I'll send someone to handle it."    

With that, Jiang Fann stood up and walked to the courtyard entrance. A woman appeared beside him, her presence subdued—this was Xiao Mo.    

He handed her a token from the Heaven Pavilion and instructed, "Bring back the one outside the gate. Don't hurt him too much; I need him to deliver a message for me."    

"I'm on it!" Xiao Mo replied, turning to leave.    

Jiang Fann returned to the table, chatting with his mother and savoring the familiar flavors, his mood unruffled. Though he spoke softly at the entrance, his mother, no longer an ordinary person, heard him clearly.    

She understood that Jiang Fann had become a significant figure, exuding the confidence of a leader. His composure in the face of challenges made her proud. After all, what parent doesn't wish for their child to succeed?    

She still didn't say much, instead listening intently as Jiang Fann recounted his experiences outside, being his best audience.    

The clash of spiritual strength outside the mountain gate made the cultivators of Myriad Clouds Mountain tremble all over. Even those at the Mortal Separating Stage felt immense pressure. Despite the protective array and the aura of the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood shielding them from most of it, the oppressive force was palpable. If not for the array's power, the opponent might have broken through and truly invaded the Heaven Pavilion.    

The human expert who brought the mighty cultivator here shouted to Tao Zhen as he withdrew from the battle.    

"Hurry and ask the Great White Elephant to appear. This person's power far exceeds ours; only the Great One might be able to stop them."    

Hearing this, Tao Zhen was momentarily at a loss, puzzled as to why the one hiding within the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood hadn't shown up yet.    

At this moment, the mountain's protective array was being controlled by Xiao Ai and Lin Zhan together, which was why it was so powerful. If the opponent maintained their half-step Reincarnation Stage power, they really stood no chance of breaking through.    

Just then, a figure descended the steps, watching the battle outside the gate. As for the other cultivators, their eyes were fixed on the scene beyond the gate, so no one noticed her arrival.    

Reaching the entrance, she bypassed Tao Zhen and spoke, "Xiao Ai, let me out."    

Under Tao Zhen's astonished gaze, the mysterious woman effortlessly passed through the barrier, transforming into a streak of dark light that shot straight into the swirling dust. This unexpected turn of events left the onlookers gasping in surprise, still trying to grasp what was happening.    

Within the dust cloud, the arrival of the woman caused the power of the formation to shift from an attack to a barrier, trapping the mighty warrior and blocking any escape routes. The warrior was momentarily stunned upon seeing her, sensing no threat from her presence. Yet, her sudden appearance was clearly not a reckless move, prompting him to proceed with caution.    

Just then, he noticed a flash of dark light, and the woman vanished, only to reappear right in front of him. An icy aura enveloped him, causing his bloodline powers to tremble and compress rapidly. He attempted to turn and flee, but the formation's barrier stopped him in his tracks. Her voice echoed from behind him.    

"Is that all you've got? You dare to storm my master's domain? Are you here to meet your end?"    

The once formidable warrior now trembled, unable to lock onto her presence. In the next instant, her slender hand had already gripped his arm. He tried to shake her off, but found his strength completely overpowered.    

The spot where his palm pressed down was now emitting black smoke, and his spiritual strength was rapidly depleting. He couldn't even muster seventy percent of his full power.    

"Devil Art!"    

He clearly understood the source of Xiao Mo's strength, but the absolute gap in their abilities was undeniable. Even though they both suppressed their levels to the Half-Reincarnation Stage, the manipulation of the natural forces and physical prowess were on entirely different levels.    

At this moment, he realized he had completely underestimated the situation, and there was no way he could break through this obstacle. He never imagined that such a formidable expert could exist in this seemingly insignificant place.    

It was hard to fathom how, with such powerful individuals around, the lesser groups from the vast world managed to invade time and again.    

He felt his power rapidly waning, and the opponent hadn't even gone all out yet. If the opponent got angry, he knew he might not even have the chance to escape, as he sensed the surrounding space was already locked down.    

In the back mountain, the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood observed everything at the mountain gate with shock.    

"That woman actually subdued that expert. Where did she come from when she appeared at the gate?"    

The old dragon spoke with a heavy tone, "That giant force clan member has reached the fourth level of the Reincarnation Stage, yet this mysterious woman is far beyond him in strength. Her bloodline power surpasses even the Ancient God Clan. When did the Heaven Pavilion harbor such an expert? Did you have any idea?"    

"I obviously didn't know, or why would I need you to step in?"    

Old Long replied seriously, "This woman wields powerful magic. Even the protective bloodline of the Giant Strength Clan couldn't withstand it. If she's on our side, that's one thing, but if she's an enemy, she could wipe out the entire Heaven Pavilion in no time, and there's nothing I could do."    

As the dust settled outside the mountain gate, everyone saw Xiao Mo pinning the Giant Strength Clan cultivator to the ground, her hand claw-like on his head, with black spiritual energy swirling above.    

Everyone was shocked. They had just witnessed the formidable combat power of the Giant Strength Clan, yet now he was being subdued so easily. It seemed that if the woman continued, she could destroy him in an instant.    

In front of everyone, Xiao Mo spoke coldly.    

She addressed the Giant Strength Clan cultivator, "Get up, my master wants to see you."    

The once arrogant guy, now desperate to save his life, quickly complied and scrambled to his feet.    

Xiao Mo then led him straight to the mountain gate of the Heaven Pavilion. The protective barrier opened on its own, allowing them to enter.    

Tao Zhen was about to ask something but noticed the Heaven Pavilion token hanging from Xiao Mo. He knew exactly who the token belonged to and immediately beamed with joy.    

The human cultivator who had brought the expert here quickly followed and said to Tao Zhen, "I didn't expect Myriad Clouds Mountain to hide such an extraordinary expert. Probably even more formidable than Lord White Elephant. You've kept this well under wraps..."    

Tao Zhen glanced at the person, clearly displeased.    

"You brought this dangerous individual to Myriad Clouds Mountain? Are you trying to bring down the Heaven Pavilion with us?"    

The cultivator quickly explained, "No way! I know I'm no match for him. In all of the Nine Desolations, only you at Myriad Clouds Mountain can stop him. If I didn't bring him here and let him roam freely, wouldn't that be even more troublesome? Next time something like this happens, I'll bring him again..."    

Tao Zhen seemed to have some rapport with this person and didn't bother to argue further. Instead, he followed the two figures ahead.    

He wanted to find out if Jiang Fann had quietly returned.
