Reborn Medicine King

Jiang Fann, maintaining a serious demeanor, replied, "If you don't want him to get hurt, keep quiet."    

The creature was taken aback by Jiang Fann's reprimand and was about to retort when it noticed the young master's condition worsening.    

The small fire qilin, about the size of a palm, struggled to open its eyes. Though its gaze was unfocused, it still looked towards Jiang Fann.    

"Help... help me..."    

Instead of seeking aid from the three guardian beasts, it reached out to Jiang Fann, surprising them all.    

This clearly showed the young master's deep trust in Jiang Fann.    

Jiang Fann addressed the guardians, "You three move away for now. If I need your help, I'll call you."    

The guardians were still a bit confused. Just moments ago, the young master had ordered them to drive Jiang Fann away, and now he was seeking his help. It was all very strange.    

The young master's power continued to surge, but his spirit was waning, occasionally letting out pained roars.    

"Can you really help our Young Master?"    

Jiang Fann replied coldly, "If you keep wasting time, even the king of the world couldn't save him."    

The three guardian beasts exchanged glances, deciding to trust Jiang Fann for the moment. They returned to their previous positions, not daring to stray too far.    

Fang Xiang was puzzled. "Why did you send them away?"    

Jiang Fann didn't respond immediately. Instead, he focused on the suffering fire qilin, his expression calm as he released his own flames to suppress the little creature's wild energy. Then, he turned and walked directly toward the stone monument.    

At that moment, the little creature suddenly opened its eyes again, its gaze sharp and angry as it shouted at Jiang Fann, "Get lost! This has nothing to do with you!"    

Seeing this, Fang Xiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this guy crazy?"    

Jiang Fann reached the monument, then turned to face the glaring little creature. In a cold voice, he said, "Should I call you 'senior' now, old holy beast?"    

Fang Xiang's face changed, shocked by the revelation.    

Just moments ago, Jiang Fann had been surprised himself, not expecting the situation to be like this.    

Jiang Fann continued, "So, the barrier wasn't to protect this place, but to keep that little creature from escaping. You've really gone to great lengths..."    

He had deliberately sent away the three guardian beasts because he discovered something amiss. The inheritance had been altered with another purpose, attempting to seize control of the little creature's body.    

This being clearly intended to use the little creature for rebirth, at the cost of completely erasing the creature's soul.    

"You know too much, but I've already gained the upper hand. That little creature is too inexperienced to fight me for control of this body. This is my bloodline power, and I won't let it fall into darkness! Hahaha..."    

The creature laughed wildly, clearly feeling triumphant. To it, the newly born fire beast was no match. Jiang Fann had no idea what had happened here in the past or why the previous fire beast had fallen. He only knew that the creature he was familiar with was not this old monster, but the little one.    

Not long ago, that little one had shown goodwill towards them. Jiang Fann couldn't just stand by and watch it be destroyed. However, the power of the stone tablet was now mobilizing the entire space, clearly a long-prepared plan. The old holy beast had left a path for itself, and the newborn was merely a pawn for its rebirth.    

Fang Xiang seemed to understand what was happening, his brow furrowed. "Taking over its own offspring—could a holy beast really do that?"    

Jiang Fann replied directly, "A holy beast? It's just the remnant soul of the old holy beast. It's been setting this up for who knows how many years."    

Revealing the creature's identity, Jiang Fann grew increasingly uneasy, considering many possibilities. He stared at the creature and said, "A true holy beast wouldn't resort to such unnatural methods. It seems you've been helping that dark practitioner live underground for so many years, haven't you?"    

The creature sneered, "Does it matter now? This body is mine, and I can erase its contract. A noble holy beast bound by a human contract is a disgrace to my kind. Now, I can finally wash away that shame."    

"I've shattered your legacy. Let's see how you manage to take over its body now."    

Jiang Fann unleashed the Strength of Array Breaking, channeling it into the stone tablet. He knew exactly what this guy needed most at the moment. Without the support of the legacy's power, just a wisp of a lingering soul wouldn't be enough to affect the little one.    

Just as Jiang Fann was about to break the array, the patterns on the stone tablet suddenly shifted, and its aura changed. The spiritual strength Jiang Fann had previously assimilated lost its effect. Clearly, the guy had been prepared and had no intention of giving Jiang Fann a chance to ruin his plans.    

"I told you, you don't stand a chance. I suggest you leave now, or once the legacy is complete, neither of you will escape. You'll both die here today."    

Jiang Fann replied coldly, "It's just some Evil Arts. Do you really think I can't handle you? Fine, let the legacy continue. Let's see how you recover."    

He glanced at Fang Xiang nearby and swiftly used Medicine Arts to seal Fang Xiang's five senses. The latter had no time to resist. Understanding Jiang Fann's intentions, Fang Xiang didn't fight back and instead sat cross-legged, focusing on his cultivation.    

In the next moment, Xiao Mo appeared again, her aura instantly suppressing the opponent. The absolute suppression of realms left the little guy, despite having absorbed part of the legacy, powerless against Xiao Mo.    

Jiang Fann remained calm and instructed Xiao Mo, "Erase that lingering thought and help the little one stabilize his soul."    

Xiao Mo nodded at Jiang Fann's words, unleashing her formidable powers. She locked onto the remnant force, her skills both potent and ruthless, intending to erase it completely.    

The three guardian beasts in the distance sensed Xiao Mo's presence and were visibly startled. They hadn't expected such a powerful figure to appear suddenly beside Jiang Fann. However, they were wary, as her aura clearly indicated she practiced dark arts, and they were unsure how this might affect the Fire Qilin.    

Just as they were about to act, they saw Xiao Mo lift the little creature into the air, using her strength to suppress the remnant force and guide the creature's soul to regain control.    

In an instant, clarity returned to the creature's eyes, though it seemed somewhat apprehensive of Xiao Mo's aura.    

At this moment, Jiang Fann spoke up, "Little guy, looks like you owe me one again."    

Suddenly, the power of the stone tablet surged, as if the ground itself was being absorbed into the formation. The old entity clearly hadn't given up yet.    

It seized the opportunity, using the enhanced power to momentarily resist Xiao Mo's suppression.    

Its voice echoed, "What are you three standing there for? Get over here and help me! Take them down."    

The three guardian beasts were momentarily stunned by the strange voice. They hadn't fully grasped the situation, but since the command came from the Fire Qilin, they felt compelled to act.    

As they approached, Jiang Fann spoke up to warn them. "A remnant soul is using the power of inheritance to possess your Young Master. You have one chance to choose sides. Choose wrong, and there's no turning back. Think carefully."    

Jiang Fann had already infused his spiritual strength into the stone tablet to disrupt the power. The best way to weaken the opponent was to destroy the array of inheritance.    

The three guardian beasts dared not approach Xiao Mo, as she exuded an overwhelming aura of terror. Being beasts, their ability to sense danger was far superior to that of humans.    

Under Xiao Mo's absolute power, the little one's spirit quickly regained control. With preparation, Xiao Mo wouldn't allow the opponent another chance to take the upper hand.    

A childish voice rang out again, "You three, stay away. This inheritance is a trap. If he fails to possess successfully, he can still use the array on the stone tablet to drain your power. You might not even have a chance to survive."    

While the little one tried reasoning with them, Xiao Mo was much more direct. She unleashed a terrifying killing intent, forcing the three to retreat repeatedly. Jiang Fann had given a fair warning before taking action.    

With no one to disturb him this time, Jiang Fann focused entirely on unleashing the Strength of Array Breaking. The speed at which he assimilated spiritual strength was impressive, and he quickly completed the process.    

Once again, she infused the array with her well-honed spiritual strength. In the next moment, the runes on the stone tablet began to explode, and the spiritual power it was channeling weakened significantly, yet the inheritance process continued unabated.    

Xiao Mo was intensely focused, attempting to completely extinguish the lingering presence. The three guardian beasts dared not approach, as Xiao Mo's intent to kill was overwhelmingly strong.    

This time, the little creature's spirit stabilized, continuously absorbing the power bestowed upon it without making a sound, its body relaxing. The previously chaotic fiery aura had now settled. The little creature let out a deep breath and opened its eyes, no longer appearing lazy but exuding a proud determination. It glanced around, and even when it saw Xiao Mo, its gaze didn't falter, as if it had matured significantly in a short time.    

Sensing the spiritual strength emanating from the little creature, Jiang Fann then examined the runes on the stone tablet, noting there was no external interference.    

The red barrier gradually faded until it disappeared completely, and everything seemed to return to its previous state.    

The three guardian beasts, confirming the little creature had stabilized, couldn't resist approaching despite their wariness of Xiao Mo.    

Jiang Fann asked them, "Do you know there's been an evil practitioner lurking in the resting place of the old holy beast?"    

Upon hearing this, the lead guardian beast shook its head.    

"How could that be possible? Each area is protected by a guardian beast, so outsiders have no chance of going unnoticed for long."    

Jiang Fann calmly replied, "But what if there's someone who knows this place inside out helping them? Could they avoid detection then?"    

"Is there really someone like that? And what exactly is the remnant soul that took over the Young Master?"    

Jiang Fann didn't hold back and shared his findings with the three of them.    

When they learned that the remnant soul might originate from an ancient holy beast, they found it hard to accept.
