Medical Sovereign - Chapter 461
Chapter 461 The Bargaining Chip
“Is the Peace Agreement not good? I think it is very good.”
Junior Sister Qingyun’s home was in the earthly world. She was taken into the Holy Medical Family only after she was appreciated and chosen by the head of the Family. She was still very affectionate about Shenzhou Country. When she heard that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe forcibly advocated signing the Peace Agreement, she immediately liked the tribe.
“Junior Sister, you haven’t really experienced the cruelty of the Ancient Martial World, so you don’t understand it. Whether it is the earthly warriors or the warriors of the Ancient Martial World, they all believe in the principle of respect for the strong and follow the law of the jungle. Have they ever been restricted by the earthly rules? They looked down upon the ordinary people of the earthly world in their bones. In the eyes of the strong, worldly beings are all as small as ants.”
Senior Brother Yan’s bitter smiles in his lifetime were not as many as those he had tonight. “The members of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe never go to the earthly world, and what they occupy is the largest and best secret space, where they are never short of resources for cultivation, so they never need to get anything from the outside world. The reason why they forcibly advocate signing the Peace Agreement with the earthly world is that they had an extremely sinister intention.”
“Why?” Junior Sister Qingyun thought it was strange and asked.
“The higher the state of cultivation, the higher the requirements for the state of mind. When a warrior practices against the law of nature, he has to have a fearless and vigorous mind and make the mind of the martial art perfect, for the freer the mind is, the easier the practitioner will get breakthroughs. But the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe forced the Three Holy Gates to sign the Peace Agreement with the earthly world, which is equivalent to putting chains on all warriors, making them bound by the earthly rules. When they have concerns, they can’t make breakthroughs. Therefore, in the past 100 years, none of our Three Holy Gates members has ever broken through the Holy Martial Arts Realm, and even those who have reached the God Martial Arts Realm are few.”
As one of the most outstanding heroes of the younger generation of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe, Senior Brother Yan had an understanding of martial arts which was far beyond the reach of Junior Sister Qingyun. With various signs as his reference, he made such speculation.
Junior Sister Qingyun seemed to think about it, but she did not think that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe had done anything wrong. Although she was fortunate to become an Ancient Warrior, she grew up in the earthly world and could not consider the problem from the perspective of an Ancient Warrior. In her mind, world peace was the eternal theme. The cruel law of the jungle that massive killings were launched for doing cultivation and fighting for cultivation resources was difficult for her to adapt to.
Senior Brother Yan looked at her beautiful side face with disapproval and sighed in his mind, “Tribe Head Uncle, I’ve done my best.”
What he said tonight was actually entrusted by his Tribe Head Uncle. Junior Sister Qingyun, who had a Fire-Spirit Body that had rarely been found in the past 1,000 years, was most suitable for practicing the methods of the Holy Medical Family. His Tribe Head Uncle had extremely high expectations of her and trained her as his successor.
Yet, she, who was born in the earthly world and grew up in a peaceful environment, was too simple and good-natured to survive in the cruel Ancient Martial World, so his Tribe Head Uncle asked him to tell her the survivor-of-the-fittest cruel reality among the practitioners, in order to harden her heart as a Warrior.
Pitifully, his painstaking effort seemed not to have worked because Junior Sister Qingyun thoroughly ignored his words.
Suddenly, Senior Brother Yan’s pupils shrunk sharply, staring at the dark sky, which a trace of light Spiritual Energy went across.
“Junior Sister Qingyun, you stay here and wait for me, and don’t go anywhere.”
Senior Brother Yan hurriedly explained and rushed to the rooftop before his Junior Sister could press.
Coming to the top of the roof, Senior Brother Yan took out a bird-shaped woodcarving from the Storage Ring. While insanely injecting the Spiritual Energy into it, he kicked the floor hard and rose to the air.
The woodcarving radiated bright spiritual light all over, and it became larger and larger at a rate visible to the naked eye. As Senior Brother Yan kept falling down, the woodcarving suddenly made a beam of bright light in the air and then turned into a wooden kite puppet, flapping its wings and rising to the air.
In the distant night sky, Ding Ning made a shocking sound. Turning around, he saw that a wooden kite with a size of three meters was chasing after him, and a person was hanging on its feet. He was so much surprised. “Who is this person? Why is he after me?”
Ding Ning shook his head, chuckled, and turning back, did not care about it anymore. Although he was surprised that someone in the world could combine the Floating Charm and the Breeze Charm to make a flying puppet, but its flying speed was not comparable to that of his Air Force Wing No.1.
Afraid of losing Wu Tianxie, he deliberately slowed down his Air Force Wing No.1, so Senior Brother Yan could barely fall far behind from him.
Senior Brother Yan’s dashing eyebrows were knitted tightly, and his eyesight was not as good as Ding Ning’s. After feeling his light Spiritual Energy as Ding Ning quickly passed, he followed it and then came here.
He knew that only those in the God Martial Arts Realm could have the ability to fly, and it was quite Spiritual Energy-consuming. In the entire earthly world, only a handful of people had reached the God Martial Arts Realm. Thus, he was really curious about the great person who could fly at night over Ninghai. Based on this concern, he followed up, hoping to find it out.
Although he knew that this would easily displease the great person, he believed that his identity as a member of the Holy Medical Family would give the person some inhibitions, and he would not go to fight him.
Pitifully, Ding Ning wanted to kill Wu Tianxie, so how could he allow someone to watch the scene from behind? He patted the head of the Air Force Wing No.1, who got his meaning, immediately fluttered its wings, and turning into a beam of black light, disappeared in the night sky instantly. The genetically modified Air Force Wing No.1, whose potential was gradually stimulated, had a flight speed that was equal to the speed of sound, reaching the appalling 340 meters per second.
Keenly aware of this, Senior Brother Yan was suddenly terrified and secretly rejoiced that the man of great sanctity was not in the mood to care about him; otherwise, he would have brought himself great trouble by naively offending him.
Those in the God Martial Arts Realm could fly, but their speed and their Spiritual Energy consumption were directly proportional. No matter how fast they were, they could not reach the speed of sound.
The speed of sound made him naturally but mistakenly think that he was following a person who had reached the Holy Martial Arts Realm. A person in the Holy Martial Arts Realm could fly by using the energy between heaven and earth as his fuel. It was a piece of cake for him to reach the speed of sound.
Shockingly, a person in the Holy Martial Arts Realm had appeared in the mundane world and flew over the city of Ninghai at night. This was not a small matter, so Senior Brother Yan was quite upset, and this gave him a reminder, “Does the disappearance of Chao Xiong have any relations with this person in the Holy Martial Arts Realm?
“Anyway, let me wait two more days. If there is still no news of Chao Xiong, I will immediately report the news that a person in the Holy Martial Arts Realm had come to the mundane world to my sect.”
By steering the wooden kite, he landed slowly on a high-rise building and made up his mind silently.
It was the dim light of night on the seashore where Chao Xiong was killed several days ago. Ding Ning leaped off from the back of the Air Force Wing No.1, took out a handful of the Spiritual Crystals of Water, and began to work with a distressed expression.
His Second Master taught him that even when a lion fought a hare, it had to use all its strength, let alone he would fight Wu Tianxie, who was ranked only lower than the 300th on the Fighting List. He should despise his opponent strategically but must respect him tactically.
Now, he still could not make matrix banners, but the Spiritual Crystals could replace matrix banners. The only problem was that he was unwilling to take them out in the past.
But now his life was threatened, and nothing was more eventful than death, so he could not care about his distress and took out lots of the Spiritual Crystals of Water to set the Spiritual Sea Trapping Matrix, which would serve as the first defensive block if he was defeated.
And the sea would be his ultimate escape route. The Mermaid Totem was still asleep and could not spit water bubbles so that he could not enter the deep sea, but with the Tianshui Totem, he would have an absolute advantage in the sea.
Time passed quickly, and the luster of a matrix shone and then died out. Ding Ning was happy. “The first matrix is successful.”
Changing to the visual angle of Xiaojin, he looked for the location of Wu Tianxie. Finding that he could arrive in more than ten minutes at least, he was bored and lighted a cigarette, enjoying the caress of the sea breeze and thinking about how he should fight in the following battle.
“Stop, Nie Fan, get out of the car, go to the boy’s house, tie up his woman and wait for my message. Mo Bai, go and drive.”
In a Toyota commercial vehicle, Wu Tianxie watched Ding Ning stop there in the bronze mirror, feeling inexplicably upset. As his eyes turned, he immediately issued an order.
“Yes, Your Honorable!”
Nie Fan responded, pulled over, got out, and began to make phone calls for the arrangement. He had no guts to confront Ding Ning, but kidnapping a woman was a piece of cake for him indeed.
Master Mo Bai obediently got into the driver’s seat to drive, but did not know what Wu Tianxie was going to do.
However, he did not know that Wu Tianxie always acted cautiously. When he realized that Ding Ning had been waiting motionlessly for him at the seaside, he felt a little inexplicably uneasy. He did not believe that after killing the Essential-blood Gu, Ding Ning did not know he had come.
“He knows that I have come, but he still dares to wait there. What does this mean? It means that the boy has something powerful to rely on, and he is not afraid. He must be absolutely confident that he can kill me, and then he can be so arrogant.”
Although he did not think Ding Ning could defeat him when confronting him, he had been upholding the principle “Caution is the parent of safety” for making a living in the complicated human world.
To make himself safer, he also ordered Nie Fan to immediately abduct Ding Ning’s woman as his final trump card, in case he would still have a bargaining chip if he was defeated.
Seeing that the car stopped and Nie Fan got out of the car, Xiaojin immediately told the information to Ding Ning, but since it was too far away from them, it could not hear their specific arrangement.
Ding Ning did not take it as trouble after getting the information. The departure of a small character did not affect the overall situation at all, but he did not expect that Wu Tianxie was so shameless that he had asked Nie Fan to kidnap Luoxue.
Of course, even if he had known it, he would not have cared. After all, Luoxue was not the little girl who was so physically weak, but one who had reached the Xuan Martial Arts Realm and also had charms as protection, so those who wanted to kidnap her would suffer miserably.
As for his sister, he was not worried, either, because she had charms as protection and Xiahou as her bodyguard. No matter who he wanted to kidnap, Nie Fan took the path to hell.
However, he would never expect that not only his sister and Luoxue but also another two unexpected guests were in his home now.
Ye Huan and her sister would be setting off for Yan Jing tomorrow to participate in the rehearsal before the competition. Ding Ning had not confirmed that if he would go to Yan Jing to watch their game. Today, the two sisters called him countless times. Unfortunately, his phone was either in the Mermaid Space without signal or not in the service area. Finally, it was powered off.
Thus, when Ding Ning called home to tell his sister he would not go back tonight, he used the phone of Mayor Du, leading to the situation that the two sisters could not help coming to his home.
Ding Qianlie was very clear about the relationship between the sisters and Ding Ning. After all, the house where they lived now was the result of the fact that she had asked someone to give it to them as the prize of a lottery.
She expressed great enthusiasm and kindness for the visit of the two sisters. Being simple and kind, Luoxue was even happier to see her peers and treated them warmly.
The four beauties got along quite well. Ye Huan and her sister had sweet tones, and their repetitive address of Ding Qianlie and Luoxue as “sister” made the two beam.
Pitifully, Ding Ning’s mobile phone was out of power, so Ding Qianlie could not reach him and could only promise that she would tell him when he came back and ask him to reply to them in time.
Ye Huan and her sister were not so disappointed because they came to visit with some selfishness. They knew that Ding Ning had an elder sister and naturally wanted to have a good relationship with their future sister-in-law. Now that their aim was achieved, if Ding Ning could go to Yan Jing, that was the best, but even if he could not, there was nothing to worry about.
They were really unlucky. Initially, Ding Qianlie wanted to ask some people to take them home, but they said that they lived on the other side and very close and could go home after a short walk.
On the way, the two girls talked excitedly and also mentioned their brother Ding Ning many times with resentment. As a result, they were quite clearly heard by those whom Nie Fan had asked to do the abduction.
