Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 479:
Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Great Saint Sect’s Attack
Once this news spread, it immediately exploded throughout the Martial Arts Forum!
One was the prestigious Medicine God Pavilion, and the other was the largest sect in the northern region.
These two powerful forces were actually having a head-on clash?
This must be the first time in history!
“What a tumultuous year.”
People couldn’t help but exclaim.
In the past few decades, there may not have been as many incidents as this year!
“The Great Saint Sect would actually strike at the Medicine God Pavilion. As far as I know, as long as the Medicine God Pavilion makes a move, there will be many people coming to support them,” someone said.
“That’s right, the Medicine God Pavilion’s network is extremely strong.”
“However, the Great Saint Sect is not bad either. They have a Martial Marquis after all,”
As soon as this remark was said, the discussion quieted down.
The significance of a single Martial Marquis was simply too great, and no one wanted to provoke the bad luck of a Martial Marquis.
In this day and age, other than modern weapons, perhaps no one could stop a Martial Marquis!
Inside the Medicine God Pavilion.
Of course, the Pavilion Master also knew about this.
Looking at the challenge issued publically by the Great Saint Sect on her phone, the usually calm Pavilion Master’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
“Great Saint Sect…” the Pavilion Master murmured softly.
The Eight Law Enforcement Elders all stood at the bottom of the pavilion, as if waiting for the Pavilion Master’s command.
The Pavilion Master was silent for a moment, and then stepped lightly, drifting down from the pavilion.
“Lord Pavilion Master!” Many elders shouted in unison.
The Pavilion Master remained silent, not knowing what to think.
Nobody knew what kind of decision the Pavilion Master would make.
“Lord Pavilion Master, we will definitely go all out,” Several Law Enforcement Elders shouted.
“Tomorrow I will gather people.”
“Many aristocratic families owe us favors. I believe they will definitely lend their assistance!”
The Eight Law Enforcement Elders each gave their opinion, but none of them showed fear.
However, at this moment, the Pavilion Master shook her head.
She looked at the several Law Enforcement Elders, speaking slowly, “Notify everyone that starting today, the Medicine God Pavilion will be closed.”
“What?!”
The Law Enforcement Elders were suddenly stunned.
At this critical time, not only were they not gathering people, but they were closing the Medicine God Pavilion instead?
“Lord Pavilion Master, how can we close the pavilion at a time like this?”
“Yes, if the Great Saint Sect attacks, how will we respond?”
With a solemn tone, the Pavilion Master said, “As alchemists, their instinct is alchemy; their staying has no meaning and will merely increase casualties.”
These were true words. The strength of the Medicine God Pavilion’s pharmacists couldn’t be compared to the Great Saint Sect.
“I… I understand,” the Chief Enforcement Elder sighed.
As they were about to turn and leave, the Pavilion Master suddenly said, “You should leave for now too.”
The eight people were immediately stunned.
“We’re leaving too?” Several people turned around, dumbfounded.
The Pavilion Master nodded slightly, “Yes.”
“Lord Pavilion Master, why…?”
“Yes, what will happen to the Medicine God Pavilion if we leave too?”
“Lord Pavilion Master, absolutely not!”
With a solemn tone, the Pavilion Master said, “If the Great Saint Sect sends a Martial Marquis, your staying will be useless.”
“If it’s just a half-step Martial Marquis, they won’t be able to do anything.”
That being said, no one knew how strong the Great Saint Sect really was.
“Lord Pavilion Master, the likelihood of the Great Saint Sect mobilizing a Martial Marquis is small. After all, Martial Marquis have not appeared for many years,” the Chief Enforcement Elder bowed and said.
“Let us stay as well. Although we are not that strong, we can at least fight.”
Seeing the earnest faces of the crowd, the Pavilion Master’s brows furrowed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Alright, those who are half-step Martial Marquis can stay, everyone else can go on vacation.”
“Lord Pavilion Master, I… ”
“No need to say more.” The Pavilion Master interrupted.”
Seeing this, several Law Enforcement Elders had no alternative but to comply.
Inside the warehouse.
Ethan Smith was greedily absorbing qi.
The streams of qi irrigated into his body, and accompanied by the rotation of the cultivation skill, his dantian seemed like a bottomless pit.
Above his head, the Three Pure Ancient Tree flickered and shone, stabilizing his state of mind.
As for the outside world, Ethan Smith knew nothing.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Ethan Smith’s dantian seemed to have no end, having absorbed an unknown amount of qi without any signs of a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the world outside began to ripple and flow.
River Town, which had always been peaceful, was experiencing an undercurrent of turmoil.
The people of River Town naturally heard the news.
“Damn it, when has this type of conflict ever happened in River Town before!”
“It’s all because of that Ethan Smith! That guy is a jinx, wherever he goes, disaster follows!”
“We should drive him out of River Town!”
For a time, Ethan Smith became the target of everyone’s arrows.
But in fact, the disputes between the Great Saint Sect and the Medicine God Pavilion had nothing to do with these ordinary people.
These days, the usually bustling Medicine God Pavilion had turned somewhat desolate.
Meanwhile, in the Great Saint Sect, Elder Foster finally received orders.
“Remember, capture the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion alive.” said Joshua Hess coldly.
Elder Foster hurriedly stood up, saying, “Sect Master, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion is quite powerful, should I… bring a Martial Marquis Weapon?”
Joshua Hess glanced at Elder Foster disdainfully and said, “Do you think Martial Marquis Weapons are cabbages on the street?”
“If you five half-step Martial Marquises can’t even handle one Lord of Medicine God Pavilion, then don’t bother coming back to the Great Saint Sect.”
Elder Foster wanted to say something else, but Joshua Hess didn’t give him the chance and turned to leave.
“Elder Foster, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion is just a woman, are you that scared of her?” said Skyler Howe, a man in his forties, indifferently.
This man was Skyler Howe, one of the Great Saint Sect’s alternate Elders and also a half-step Martial Marquis.
He and Elder Foster had competed previously for the position of Elder, but in the end, Elder Foster was chosen.
This resulted in a feud between the two.
Elder Foster glanced at him coldly and said, “Skyler Howe, don’t underestimate this woman.”
Skyler Howe sneered, “What? Is she a Martial Marquis or something?”
“Do you think Martial Marquises are cabbages you can find everywhere?” Elder Foster scoffed.
“Well, that’s that.” Skyler Howe said indifferently.
“As long as she’s not a Martial Marquis, what’s there to fear?”
Elder Foster couldn’t help but frown.
He slowly said, “Although we are both half-step Martial Marquises, her strength is far greater than mine.”
During the last simple encounter, Elder Foster was left vomiting blood continuously.
If they actually started fighting, these five half-step Martial Marquises might not necessarily be a match for the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion.
“I think you’re just scared.” Skyler Howe snorted.
“You may not be her match, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t her match either.”
Elder Foster’s face turned cold as he sneered, “I warned you beforehand. If you suffer losses later on, don’t regret it.”
Skyler Howe sneered, “If you’re scared, just stay here.”
After throwing down those words, Skyler Howe waved his hand, “Let’s go! We’re going to uproot the Medicine God Pavilion!”
