Sage of Humanity-Chapter 704 - 702

Medicine Valley is named after a valley, and naturally, it is located in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Looking down from high above, Lu Ye could not help but be reminded of Great Reversal Valley.

When it comes to beautiful scenery, looking across the entire Cloud River battlefield, Great Reversal Valley is ranked among the top.

However, it seemed that the scenery of Medicine Valley was even more beautiful than that of Great Reversal Valley.

Within the entire Medicine Valley, several medicinal fields were divided, where many spirit flowers and rare herbs were planted, and attendants were busy working in them.

In the very center of Medicine Valley, there were more than a dozen scattered huts where the master of Medicine Valley and the attendants lived.

"Something seems wrong," Zhuang Bufan suddenly spoke from behind Lu Ye.

Lu Ye also sensed that something was amiss.

At the entrance of Medicine Valley, it seemed that quite a few cultivators were confronting each other, and it appeared that a battle had broken out, with bloodstains on the ground and two bodies lying beside them.

This scene greatly surprised Zhuang Bufan.

Because anyone who came to Medicine Valley seeking medical help was either severely injured or suffering from some complicated illness, and Little Miracle Healer had an unwritten rule that no one was allowed to fight within the bounds of Medicine Valley. Anyone who broke this rule would not be treated by her, no matter who they were. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Thus, over the years, no one had dared to fight outside Medicine Valley. Every cultivator who came here adhered to Little Miracle Healer's rules, whether they were ferociously evil bandits or utterly wicked evil cultivators; upon arriving here, they all had to restrain their ferocity.

Medicine Valley alone was not a large power, and although Little Miracle Healer was strong, she was but a lone person, with few of her attendants being highly cultivated.

But over the years, so many cultivators had been saved by her hand that even among the top big sects, many owed her a debt of salvation.

It could be said that Little Miracle Healer's network of connections spread throughout the entire Soaring Dragon World.

So even though Medicine Valley was not considered a significant power, no one had dared to target it over the years. Even the Sky Ravine Sect, also in Xuezhou, turned a blind eye to Medicine Valley, keeping the peace and even occasionally sending their own cultivators to seek medical help there.

After all, as cultivators, who hasn't been injured? Sometimes, merely consuming a healing pill would suffice for recovery, but if a healing pill wasn't effective, one would need to seek help from a healing cultivator.

Offending a healing cultivator had no benefits.

Not to mention in the Soaring Dragon World, even on the Nine Provinces side, healing cultivators received special treatment; even if the cultivators from two opposing camps captured each other's healing cultivators, they often wouldn't treat them too harshly and could even pay a ransom to recover captured healing cultivators.

Therefore, this confrontation of cultivators outside Medicine Valley seemed utterly incredible to Zhuang Bufan.

Lu Ye, unaware of Little Miracle Healer's rules, found this situation not so unusual, for cultivators without conflicts just wouldn't be cultivators. Just as he was about to fly over from above, a cultivator shouted from afar, "Sky Ravine Sect on official business, stop or be killed without mercy!"

The Sky Ravine Sect again!

Zhuang Bufan furrowed his brows. For many years, the Sky Ravine Sect had been based in Xuezhou, gathering a large number of cultivators, but they never left Xuezhou and were committed only to exploring the mysteries of Sky Ravine.

But now, the Sky Ravine Sect was not only abducting mortals but had also come to Medicine Valley to obstruct those seeking medical help. What exactly were they trying to do?

Zhuang Bufan felt faintly that the times might be changing.

Unlike newcomers like Lu Ye, Zhuang Bufan was a native cultivator of the Soaring Dragon World, and being Level 9, he was naturally more sensitive to changes in the situation of the Soaring Dragon World than Lu Ye.

The number of Sky Ravine Sect cultivators blocking the way was not small, about thirty or forty.

And the cultivators they confronted were about a dozen, most of whom were injured.

These cultivators were clearly there to seek medical help, but the confrontation had arisen because they were blocked by the Sky Ravine Sect cultivators.

However, it seemed some were disobedient, attempting to forcefully break through, only to be killed by the Sky Ravine Sect.

Although the visiting cultivators were righteously indignant, feeling that the Sky Ravine Sect was acting tyrannically, they all only dared to be angry but not to speak out.

Lu Ye landed outside Medicine Valley with Yiyi and the others, suppressing his fleeing light.

Zhuang Bufan staggered slightly, sighed silently to himself, and wore a look of worry on his face. Medicine Valley was blocked by the people of the Sky Ravine Sect; what could be done now?

His current injuries could not be delayed any longer.

It would clearly be irrational to try to force a way in. Although he had previously dared to intercept the spirit ship of the Sky Ravine Sect, that had been a covert action, harmless in its context. Now, in full public view, if he offended the Sky Ravine Sect, even if Little Miracle Healer could cure him, he would not be able to leave Xuezhou.

"We came here to seek life-saving help from Little Miracle Healer; what is the meaning of the Sky Ravine Sect blocking our way?" someone shouted loudly.

"Exactly, Medicine Valley belongs to Little Miracle Healer, not to your Sky Ravine Sect."

"Fellow Daoist, can you make an exception and let us enter Medicine Valley to receive treatment first? Rest assured, we will not delay the affairs of your sect."

"Brother, Brother, what's wrong with you, Brother, don't die on me..."

A group of cultivators were creating an uproar, and the scene was chaotic.

The leading Sky Ravine Sect cultivator, dressed in black with a cold expression, was the man who had earlier seen Lu Ye coming and shouted for him to stop. This man stood with his hands behind his back, showing no regard for the cultivators who had come seeking medical help, and said indifferently, "Those who dare to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

A young cultivator, fuming with youthful vigor, exclaimed, "The Sky Ravine Sect is truly unreasonable!"

No sooner had he spoken than an older fellow disciple beside him covered his mouth.

The cultivator dressed in black sneered, "Reason? I am the reason, standing right here. If you want to argue about reason, beat me first... Huh?"

He suddenly frowned, looking at Lu Ye who was walking out from behind the crowd, and sneered viciously, "You... what do you think you're doing?"

"Move aside!" Lu Ye looked him directly in the eyes, not breaking his stride.

Zhuang Bufan broke out in a cold sweat, realizing only then that Lu Ye, who had been by his side moments ago, had already moved out. This young fellow was truly daring and reckless.

Previously, he had killed Sun Qi by relying on the power of a formation. But now, with the Sky Ravine Sect in greater numbers, and the cultivator in black having Level 8 cultivation, it was not wise to confront them directly.

Anxiously, he could only grit his teeth and follow Lu Ye's pace, resolving that if things went south, he would have to use that Divine Weapon!

Even if using it meant certain death for him, he could not just stand by and watch such a warm-hearted young fellow lose his life here.

"Finally, another one who isn't afraid of dying!" The smile on the face of the cultivator in black grew even more ferocious. He reached into his storage sack on his waist and pulled out a long spear. Propelling his spirit force, the spear blossomed with many spear flowers, covering Lu Ye as he shouted, "Die!"

Clang...

The sound of a blade rang out, and a brilliant blade light appeared, causing the cultivator in black's expression to change drastically.

He had not taken Lu Ye seriously before, quietly probing Lu Ye's cultivation which was at Level 6 of the Cloud River. With his own cultivation, he naturally wouldn't care much.

He had intended to kill this ignorant young man to silence the noisy onlookers, but when Lu Ye's long blade emerged, he sensed something was amiss.

An indescribable pressure hit him head-on, tightening his skin all over his body. Accompanying this pressure was a powerful and invasive chill.

It was as if he was the one with the lesser cultivation.

With several clinks, the cultivator in black let out a strange cry. The savage smile had disappeared from his face, replaced by deep horror.

At that moment, amid the tremendous clash of forces, his hands were burst open, blood flowed freely, and his aura became utterly chaotic. His spirit force was disordered, the long spear raised high, completely exposed.

In his field of vision, a flash of blade light swept across, and he froze in place.

His eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.

In the hush of the arena, a thin line of blood first appeared on his neck, followed quickly by a burst of blood as his head flew off.

A chorus of gasps arose.

The cultivators of the Sky Ravine Sect, those who had come to Medicine Valley seeking healing, everyone was stunned.

The clash between Level 8 and Level 6 was indeed a battle that could decide the outcome, even life or death, in an extremely short time. However, the result was unexpected—the higher-cultivated cultivator in black was the one who died.

How could this happen?

Not only the cultivators unfamiliar with Lu Ye, but even Zhuang Bufan couldn't believe it. He had been worried that Lu Ye would suffer under the black-dressed cultivator and had prepared to intervene if things went wrong. Who knew that this young fellow, Ye Liu, would kill him with just a few slashes!

Was he dreaming?

The earlier killing of Sun Qi using a formation had only shown him Lu Ye's terrifying mastery over Array Path. Now, he witnessed Lu Ye's extraordinary personal strength.

To kill a Level 8 cultivator so easily meant this young fellow could even contend with those at Level 9.

Such a person had never appeared in the history of the Soaring Dragon World.

Who on earth was his master who trained such a disciple?

As his thoughts churned, Lu Ye had already merged with the multitude and charged toward those Sky Ravine Sect disciples.

Having previously saved a ship of mortals, Lu Ye had a very poor impression of the Sky Ravine Sect cultivators and roughly knew what kind of people they were. Coupled with their blocking the path, Lu Ye had no hesitation in taking lives.

Killing them would surely not be a mistake.

As Lu Ye moved to attack, YiYi naturally wasn't idle either. Her spirit force surged, launching spells into the crowd.

"Kill them!" someone roared.

Although they were reluctant to offend the Sky Ravine Sect, those who came to Medicine Valley seeking healing were desperate, on the brink of death. If they could not see the Little Miracle Healer, they would soon be dead. How could they care about the Sky Ravine Sect then?

Previously, they dared not act recklessly for two reasons: they lacked unity, and they genuinely were not as strong. Some had already died at the hands of the Sky Ravine Sect, a Bitter benchmark for later action.

Now that Lu Ye had stepped forward, driven by the instinct to survive, numerous cultivators followed suit.

The Sky Ravine Sect cultivators hadn't yet recovered from the shock of their comrade's death when they faced a fierce attack head-on, causing several more deaths. With Lu Ye charging into their ranks, where his blade passed, blood rained, and chaos ensued instantly.
