Reborn Medicine King

"Bold outsiders, how dare you intrude on our territory? None of you will leave today."    

With a surge of spiritual strength, the devil art enveloped the Golden Eye Clan cultivators. The immense pressure from the peak of the reincarnation realm left everyone present in shock.    

Jin Heng quickly took out the Spirit Attached Jade given to him by Jin Xian. "The Golden Eye Clan seeks an audience with Jiang Fann. We hope you can convey this message!"    

Sensing Jiang Fann's presence, Xiao Mo frowned slightly and dispersed the gathered energy above everyone's heads. Standing before them, he stared at the Spirit Attached Jade, clearly surprised.    

He turned to the old dragon and asked, "Do you know them?"    

The old dragon replied, "It seems the Golden Eye Clan indeed has some connection with the master."    

After speaking, Xiao Mo handed the Spirit Attached Jade to the old dragon, instructing him to notify Jiang Fann. Then, Xiao Mo asked the group, "Why have you come here with so many of your clan?"    

"There was an upheaval in the greater world, and we had no choice but to seek refuge here. Once things stabilize, I will lead our clan back to settle in the greater world."    

Xiao Mo looked at them with curiosity. "An upheaval? Just because of those so-called Ancient God Clan? Your clan's bloodline is quite similar to theirs; you should be able to hold your own. Doesn't your clan have any powerful figures?"    

"Our clan's bloodline restoration is thanks to Jiang Fann's help. However, the issue now isn't just the revival of the Ancient God Clan; even more terrifying beings are awakening. Staying in this vast world could lead to our extinction, so we had no choice but to open a rift to seek a way out. We hope you'll grant us mercy."    

At this moment, Jin Xian appeared, visibly surprised to see Xiao Mo. The overwhelming aura of power left him deeply shaken.    

Xiao Mo glanced at him and said, "This kid's bloodline seems a bit stronger. But whether your clan can stay in the Nine Desolations isn't up to me; my master will decide. You must not stray beyond a hundred yards from this rift, or don't blame me for being harsh."    

Jin Xian replied, "Rest assured, we won't cause any trouble."    

Xiao Mo stepped away, keeping a watchful eye on them from a distance. The Golden Eye Clan remained low-key, though their numbers were considerable, nearly three hundred strong.    

Jin Xian kept his gaze on the rift, a hint of fear in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he approached Xiao Mo.    

"Sir, the vast world is truly dangerous. A powerful being is near our Holy Land. If he discovers the rift, it could threaten the Nine Desolations. We must close it. Our people have already passed through, so please allow me to seal it."    

Xiao Mo shook her head, not agreeing.    

Jin Xian quickly responded, "Sir, I'm not joking. Even the most powerful cultivators from the Ancient God Clan are nothing more than prey in the face of that mighty being. Your skills are impressive, but dealing with such a creature is beyond anyone's reach. Please, consider this carefully."    

Xiao Mo saw a hint of fear in his eyes, confirming he wasn't joking. She didn't reply directly but approached the rift, trying to sense the energy from the other side, yet found nothing.    

Jin Xian, not wanting to offend her, waited quietly.    

Soon, Old Dragon arrived with Jiang Fann from afar. Seeing the cultivators from the Golden Eye Clan, Jiang Fann was quite surprised. He descended from the sky, his face full of joy.    

"Jin, it's been a while..."    

Jin Xian, seeing Jiang Fann, skipped the pleasantries and said, "We can catch up later. We need to close that rift now. Our clan can't stay on the other side any longer."    

Though unsure of Jin Xian's meaning, Jiang Fann nodded without objection. Jin Xian glanced at Xiao Mo, noticing she had stepped aside, clearly following Jiang Fann's lead obediently. It was hard for him to imagine what Jiang Fann had done since leaving the other world to have such a powerful cultivator under his command.    

As Jin Xian destroyed the formation key in his hand, the spatial rift vanished instantly. But in that fleeting moment, Xiao Mo, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing something.    

Seeing the rift disappear, Jin Xian and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.    

Jiang Fann observed this and chuckled, "Your clan wasn't found by the Crimson Mark Clan, was it? I didn't expect you'd come all the way to the Nine Desolations to hide."    

Hearing this, Jin Xian shook his head decisively, "It's not that simple!"    

His expression turned grave as he continued, "Brother Jiang, the world is in chaos!"    

Now it was Jiang Fann's turn to be surprised.    

"After the Ancient God Clan's revival, they returned to their territories, and the other clans submitted. Things should have stabilized. How could there be chaos? Although, a little chaos might be good—at least they won't bother us in the Nine Desolations."    

Jin Xian replied, "It's not the Ancient God Clan causing the trouble. It's the source of the catastrophe from back then—the God-Slaying Clan has awakened. Just a year after the Ancient God Clan's revival. The Ancient God Clan had spent countless resources to buy time for the other clans to hide. We never expected the God-Slaying Clan to remain, only to fall into slumber. They must have sensed the Ancient God Clan's presence and awakened too. Now, the entire world is on edge, and the Ancient God Clan might just become a part of history..."    

Jiang Fann never imagined that before the Ancient God Clan could cause trouble for the Nine Desolations, they would find themselves in a big mess first. He had heard of the legends of the God-Slaying Clan. He recalled encountering a fiery sandstorm, known as the Red Lotus Wind, during his training in the Yellow Sand Domain. To his surprise, he discovered it was originally a water region. There, he met an old turtle and obtained a golden turtle shell with formidable defensive power, which was somehow connected to the God-Slaying Clan.    

"Has the God-Slaying Clan awakened too? No wonder you're in such a hurry," Jiang Fann remarked.    

Jin Xian replied awkwardly, "If it were just the original bloodline, I wouldn't be so anxious. The God-Slaying Clan feeds on the bloodline of the Ancient God Clan to enhance their power. My clan would be doomed if we stayed there."    

"When did the God-Slaying Clan start to awaken?" Jiang Fann asked.    

"Just in the past few days. One appeared near the Holy Land where my clan was hiding, so I had no choice but to lead them here. I didn't have time to inform you, Elder Brother Jiang, and I hope you'll forgive me."    

Jiang Fann smiled and said, "No need for formalities between us. I'm just glad you're all safe. However, the aura of the larger world is strong on you, so it's best not to wander around for now. I'll arrange a place for you. If you decide to stay in the Nine Desolations, you can later find a suitable place to settle."    

Jin Xian: "We're just seeking temporary refuge here. Once the God Clan leaves, we'll return to the greater world. We know that's where our people truly belong. Unfortunately, we'll have to impose for a while before that happens."    

In the distance, a few human cultivators watched the situation unfold. When they saw Jiang Fann appear, they frowned slightly, surprised at how casually he conversed with outsiders, seemingly without concern. However, Jiang Fann and his companions didn't hide their conversation, so the onlookers understood the reasoning. Despite their aversion to outsiders in the greater world, they had to respect Jiang Fann, as the Heaven Pavilion had been the most assertive force in recent years.    

Behind Jiang Fann, the old dragon looked worried, clearly concerned. Little Mo, standing nearby, spoke up, "Are you worried about your people too? Didn't the master say your clan exists in its own little world? Even if those so-called God Clan members are powerful, they have little chance of finding them. They won't reveal themselves to provoke the God Clan, so there's no need to worry."    

Jiang Fann offered, "Do you want me to let you go back and check on things?"    

The old dragon hesitated but eventually shook his head. "Since I've been reborn, the past doesn't concern me. I can't stay there forever to protect them."    

Hearing this, Jin Xian reassured them, "If you're talking about the Dragon Realm, there's no need to worry. It's very safe. Those ancient clans with their own spaces are secure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hide from the God Clan all those years ago. As long as they remain hidden, there won't be any problems."    

Jiang Fann said, "Alright, let's not linger here. I'll take you to where the Human Emperor Sect is settled. They won't have any issues with you being there. Your group's size won't be a problem for them, but you need to tell your people that this is the Nine Desolations. Don't cause any trouble here, or else..."    

Before he could finish, Jin Xian interrupted him. "You can rest assured about that. I've already warned them before we came."    

Jiang Fann then set up a teleportation array on the spot. He had originally arranged the teleportation array for the Human Emperor Sect, so he could connect directly to it. Once the array was ready, Jiang Fann infused it with spiritual strength to activate it.    

Jiang Fann entered first, with Xiao Mo following closely behind. He instructed Old Dragon and the other Golden Eye Clan cultivators to go through before him, as Old Dragon had become well-known across various factions over the past year. After all, he was a top-tier expert in the Reincarnation Realm, a level not yet seen in the Nine Desolations.    

Outside the Human Emperor Sect, Xiao Mo quietly walked beside Jiang Fann and whispered, "Master, the folks from the Grand World are incredibly strong!"    

Jiang Fann was surprised to hear Xiao Mo say this so suddenly. There was only one reason for such a low-key reaction, and that was when they were attacked by a horned Heaven Realm cultivator in the forbidden zone outside the Thunder Sect.    

"Heaven Realm?" Jiang Fann asked.    

Xiao Mo nodded. "Before the rift closed, I definitely sensed the presence of a Heaven Realm aura. It was even stronger than the one in the forbidden zone of the Nine Heavens. It's hard to imagine why such powerful experts are hiding in a place like the Grand World!"    

Jiang Fann said, "Those powerful figures use the Ancient God Clan as a source of power. The bloodline of the Ancient God Clan in this vast world contains many unique abilities, like the God Clan's strength to break through barriers. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of this world's level, they can hardly reach the Heavenly Realm. Even if this world were elevated to the highest level, it might have already risen to prominence."    

"No wonder those big shots have taken notice, but what I'm worried about now isn't them..."
