Reborn Medicine King

As for how she got the information from the other party, Jiang Fann left it entirely up to her to handle. If it were any other practitioner, Jiang Fann would have interrogated them personally. He was well aware of how cruel Gu Xie's Evil Arts could be. Although Jiang Fann didn't have many rules, he still had a sense of humanity.    

But the situation with this particular spirit practitioner was different. Not long ago, this guy had tried to possess Wan Chengfeng's body and had a deep-seated grudge against the Valley of Immortals. He was even more ruthless than a demon, so Jiang Fann didn't mind using his own methods against him.    

As for Wan Chengfeng and his group, they were quite curious about what Gu Xie was up to, but they had seen her Evil Arts and bone techniques clearly just now.    

Wan Xin was evidently very curious about Gu Xie because she gave off a refreshing and vibrant vibe, full of life. It was hard for her to associate someone like that with an evil practitioner. She had encountered quite a few in her time training outside, but never one like this.    

"Why is she different from other evil practitioners?" Wan Xin asked.    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "I also practice Devil Arts. Am I the same as other evil practitioners?"    

Wan Xin quickly shook her head and said, "Your Devil Arts are different from her methods. Her techniques are the real Evil Arts, like the ones I encountered a few years ago from a Bone Realm demon. But that demon's bone techniques were white, not this golden kind."    

Wan Chengfeng said, "Even in the Bone Realm, there are different levels of demons. I've seen one that could use golden bone magic, which is a trait of the royal bloodline there. But this woman clearly isn't one of them; her vitality is even stronger than mine..."    

Hearing this, Jiang Fann was a bit surprised. "You've actually encountered royalty from the Bone Realm? It's impressive you survived."    

"I only made it out because I ran fast. At the time, a beast at the Reincarnation Stage started fighting him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it."    

"A royal from the Bone Realm at the Reincarnation Stage? Are you sure?"    

Wan Chengfeng replied, "Absolutely sure. But it was in a secret realm. That guy must have been sealed in that area; if he got out and reached the Upper Nine Heavens, it would be a disaster."    

"Is the secret realm in the Upper Nine Heavens? Can it be accessed now, or do you remember where the entrance is?"    

Wan Chengfeng noticed a hint of excitement in Jiang Fann's eyes.    

"You're not thinking of going after that guy, are you? Are you crazy? I can guarantee that even the royal families in the Upper Nine Heavens wouldn't want to mess with him."    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "That's them. I'm not like them, anyway. I'm not from the Upper Nine Heavens."    

Wan Chengfeng: "..."    

As they spoke, Gu Xie's bone sphere erupted with golden light, and the power of the bone wall grew stronger. Explosions continued to echo from the ground, and the entire area was lit up by the formations, with dust enveloping everything beyond the bone wall's reach.    

After about five minutes, the explosions suddenly stopped, and the golden bone sphere around Gu Xie slowly dissipated, revealing Gu Xie's figure inside.    

Jiang Fann immediately asked, "What's going on?"    

"Master, there isn't much useful information from that guy. He only developed a partial consciousness. His actions were merely inherited from his soul. He's helping a powerful being find a body for rebirth. He's just a fragment of a soul. The powers in the formation below were left by a significant figure for his protection."    

"He absorbed the bloodline power of an entire tribe. That significant figure was very pleased with this tribe's bloodline power, waiting for a truly satisfactory body to be born. Then, using the power of this soul fragment, he would take over the body and bring it back to the depths of the forbidden zone. That's his entire story."    

With that, he presented the spirit cultivator to Jiang Fann. The spirit cultivator was now barely alive, with a large hole in his head, clearly Gu Xie's doing.    

At this moment, Wan Chengfeng appeared with a long weapon in hand, filled with overwhelming hatred, and thrust it directly at the spirit cultivator.    

Gu Xie's words were crystal clear to him, and he understood what the bloodline power of an entire tribe meant. How could he accept such a deep-seated grudge?    

Gu Xie, having already received Jiang Fann's approval, did not evade and allowed Wan Chengfeng's weapon to pierce through the spirit cultivator.    

The power of the attack was terrifying, as if it could slice through the very air around it. However, Wan Chengfeng controlled it perfectly, ensuring it didn't affect Gu Xie nearby.    

Afterward, Gu Xie didn't let the spiritual energy go to waste. He used his dark arts to absorb it, making it his own. Wan Chengfeng watched without comment, feeling it was a fitting outcome.    

Gu Xie turned to Jiang Fann and said, "Master, the energy from the underground formation has dissipated. It seems they've abandoned this activation. You don't need to worry too much. I won't return to the sanctuary just yet; I'll keep you company as we move forward. According to that guy's information, there's likely someone significant hiding in this restricted area. I wonder what the situation is now."    

Jiang Fann shook his head. "You can stay in my sanctuary and come out whenever I need you. There's nothing for me to worry about. It's not good for you to stay outside too long, but I have some good news for you."    

Gu Xie looked at Jiang Fann, puzzled by his words.    

Jiang Fann didn't beat around the bush. "Brother Wan told me there's a royal from the Bone Realm in a secret place up in the sky."    

Gu Xie was visibly thrilled, a rare smile appearing on his face. "Really?"    

Wan Chengfeng had just avenged his enemy, and he was in a good mood. He said, "I don't know what your plans are, but there's indeed a Bone Realm royal sealed there. Even a demonic beast at the Reincarnation Stage wouldn't last long against it. It's quite similar to your bone techniques and can even summon bone warriors. It's really impressive."    

Gu Xie said, "Tell my master everything you know. Consider it a favor for the help I just gave you."    

Wan Chengfeng nodded repeatedly. "Of course, no problem."    

Gu Xie then whispered something to Jiang Fann before Jiang Fann stored him away. He felt confident he could handle the situation from here on out.    

Wan Chengfeng said, "Aren't you eager to return to the Nine Desolations? Even if I told you the secret realm's location now, you wouldn't have time to go. Plus, it only opens once every few decades. It might be a while before it opens again. How about we check it out after we get back from the Nine Desolations?"    

Jiang Fann replied, "If I know the exact location, I can find a way in even if it's not open. I don't know how long we'll stay in the Nine Desolations, so if possible, I'd like to deal with that menace first. It's for the greater good."    

Wan Chengfeng had a good idea why Jiang Fann wanted to confront the menace but didn't say anything.    

"I know the exact location. I've been there before. It's about a two-week journey from Immortal Valley. Once we're done, I'll personally take you there."    

"No problem. You all wait here on the ground. I need to make a quick trip to the spiritual space. I have some unfinished business there. Once I return, we can discuss our next steps," Jiang Fann said, then flew down towards the ground, heading for the formation he had used earlier. He needed to bring Lin Zhan and the others back, but upon arrival, he found the formation in ruins, completely unusable after its previous outburst.    

He had no choice but to move aside and look for another nearby formation to use.    

Watching Jiang Fann's retreating figure, Wan Xin turned to Wan Chengfeng and asked seriously, "Is Jiang Fann a Cultivator of Nine Desolations?"    

Wan Chengfeng nodded. "Not many people know about it, so you must keep it a secret. After this training, I plan to visit the Nine Desolations with him and see that legendary world for myself."    

Wan Xin replied, "Uncle, you know about those cultivators from the Nine Desolations back in the day, right?"    

Wan Chengfeng didn't hold back and shared everything he had seen and heard at the Thunder Sect. Wan Xin was equally surprised by the revelations. Like Wan Chengfeng, she had read some books in the valley, but that part of history was hidden. However, the term "Nine Desolations" was familiar to her, as the books mentioned it as a world connected to the heavens.    

Wan Chengfeng handed the bag containing the remains of the elder to Wan Xin.    

"Once Younger Brother Jiang and I leave the valley, you can give these to the old man. You can tell them everything except for matters concerning Younger Brother Jiang. Let them take the remains to the ancestral burial ground."    

Wan Xin frowned at him, "Uncle, you're not planning to run off right after you leave, are you?"    

Wan Chengfeng chuckled, "If I don't make a run for it, I might not get another chance. Just don't hold me back when the time comes!"    

...    

In the center of the formation, Jiang Fann appeared and carefully sensed the changes. There was almost no fluctuation in spiritual strength, but the formations he left behind to release special spiritual strength were completely shattered, clearly destroyed by some force. However, the one where Lin Zhan and Xiao Ai were hiding remained unaffected.    

Arriving there, Jiang Fann quickly brought them into his space.    

Lin Zhan spoke up, "I felt the explosion from the formation clearly from here. After those forces left that area, they came back and destroyed those formations, then dispersed."    

"The formation I chased after is now completely destroyed. I wonder if it has affected the spiritual strength here?"    

Lin Zhan replied, "Don't worry. The main formation is below. Even if all the branches above are destroyed, it won't affect this place. The core will remain, and this space will continue to exist. Make sure to remember this place; it will definitely be useful in the future."    

Jiang Fann spoke as he led them to the teleportation array they had activated earlier. Infusing it with spiritual strength, he planned to reunite with Wan Chengfeng and the others. They needed to strategize their next move.    

Once they found the others, Wan Chengfeng asked directly, "Should we keep going? We have no idea what's happening with the big shot now. The next area might be even more dangerous than this one."    

Jiang Fann didn't hesitate. "We've come this far, so why stop now? We haven't gained anything yet. Leaving now would mean all our efforts were for nothing."
