Strongest Medical Saint
Chapter 769 - 769: Going Separate Ways

Within the valley.

All eyes were on Shen Feng with a sense of peculiarity.

Here, the force of restriction swirled, and anyone daring to make a move would be annihilated by its power.

Lin Qianheng's eyes were icy as he glanced at the calm Shen Feng and said indifferently, "Boy, how long do you plan to keep up this facade?"

"You probably know that entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm means certain death, so you're trying to provoke us into a mutual destruction!"

"Do you think we'd fall for that?"

The young man in blue clothes who stood to his right took two steps towards Zhou Xinyao. He was Luo Xingli, the premier talent of the Luo Family from Flame Fallen City, and had always been pursuing Zhou Xinyao.

The reason Zhou Jingguang was against this marriage was his fear that it would be like letting the wolf into the house, which might result in the Zhou Family being completely swallowed by the Luo Family.

"Xinyao, I believe there's no need to introduce Master Lin's status further. I hope this time you won't obstruct Master Lin's affairs," he said.

"This boy you are protecting is the one Master Lin wants to take down personally."

Notwithstanding his own arrogance, Luo Xingli knew that his family had already reached an agreement with Lin Wanhao, and he was also aware that Lin Qianheng was about to be taken as a disciple by Vice Palace Master Qian of the General Hall. Moreover, it wasn't long before Lin Qianheng would break through to become a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

But he, Luo Xingli, was merely a talent from Flame Fallen City; with Lin Qianheng's rate of growth, despite his slightly lower cultivation, he was bound to become a prodigy in the world of Alchemy, far beyond what he could compare to.

Luo Xingli, who had always wanted to win Zhou Xinyao over, thus stepped forward to offer a reminder.

Zhou Xinyao, coming back to her senses, furrowed her brows tightly, feeling extreme aversion towards Shen Feng's brazen nonsense, regardless of the occasion. She couldn't fathom how such a brainless person from the Lower Realm could be so highly valued by Liu Qicang.

Seeing that Zhou Xinyao didn't respond, Luo Xingli used Sound Transmission to communicate with Lin Qianheng and, securing his agreement, continued, "Xinyao, do you really want to doom the Zhou Family to destruction?"

"Now that Master Lin is about to become Vice Hall Master Qian's disciple, and his breakthrough to Fourth Grade Alchemist isn't far off."

"The mere Vice Hall Master Liu Qicang of the Flame Fallen City division is utterly unable to bring any benefits to the Zhou Family. Even for the sake of your family, you shouldn't have any relationships with Master Lin's enemies."

Now that they were at the entrance to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, and those who had come here could not escape by their own power, Lin Qianheng saw no need to hide the affair of becoming a disciple of Vice Hall Master Qian.

Lin Qianheng said coldly, "This boy is not even worthy of being my enemy; he's just a Condensing Immortal Middle Stage waste. Everyone present could effortlessly crush him to death."

When Lin Qianheng, Luo Xingli, and others had previously passed through the corridor full of Blood Tiger Fish, they too had been assaulted by the formidable Blood Tiger Fish. However, among the disciples of the four great families who had come, the weakest were at the True Immortal Middle Stage. This showed that the Zhou Family was indeed the weakest among the five families.

If the people from the Zhou Family could pass safely, then Lin Qianheng and the people from the four great families had even less to worry about.

As for those five selected individuals, they had earned their spots through strength. Although there were no True Immortal Peak cultivators among them, the weakest was still at the True Immortal Middle Stage.

Zhou Xinyao, hearing that Lin Qianheng was to become a disciple of the General Hall's Vice Hall Master Qian, finally understood why the four major families would temporarily form an alliance. She knew that the Vice Hall Master behind Liu Qicang had far less power within the General Hall compared to Vice Hall Master Qian.

But she did not like to break her word. Although she deeply detested Shen Feng's arrogant attitude, she had promised to do her best to protect Shen Feng's safety.

Seeing that Zhou Xinyao didn't immediately distance herself from Shen Feng, Lin Qianheng smiled and said, "Zhou Xinyao, your choice might be the right one."

"Previously, this boy was studying the Sky Mark; he might now have become the so-called 'favored child of heaven' in legend!"

He had just treated this matter as a joke and had told Luo Xingli and the people from the four great families.

Luo Xingli and the rest naturally thought Shen Feng was delusional. A Lower Realm upstart, instead of cultivating quietly, actually aspired to become a 'favored child of heaven'?

Furthermore, the so-called Sky Mark was deemed by many cultivators today as a non-existent fantasy.

"Master Lin is not wrong; maybe this boy is indeed heaven's favorite, otherwise, how could he consider us as insignificant as chickens or dogs? I'm truly scared now!" one mocked.

"Zhou Xinyao, Zhou Ruixuan, your Zhou Family has really struck it lucky! To think you have ties with heaven's favorite. I'm truly envious!"

...

Many from the four great families spoke in tones dripping with sarcasm.

Shen Feng's expression remained unchanged, aware that the limitations here were indeed a bit troublesome; he could only wait to deal with these minor characters once he was inside the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan, among other members of the Zhou family, felt their anger swell as they listened to the succession of mocking voices. To their surprise, Shen Feng's arrogance and megalomania were compounded by a deluded belief that he was heaven's chosen one!

Just then.

Suddenly, the entire valley, which was not very large, was enveloped in a sacred white light.

This was a sign that the Azure Dragon Secret Realm was opening, and everyone would be teleported into the Secret Realm at any moment.

Seeing that the Secret Realm was about to open.

Lin Qianheng coldly said to Zhou Xinyao and the others, "Remember, if your Zhou family insists on being obstinate, then I will show no mercy to your Zhou family!"

As his words fell.

Under the glow of the sacred white light, everyone began to feel dizzy, unable to keep their eyes open.

...

About a few minutes later.

When Shen Feng could finally open his eyes slowly, he found himself no longer in the valley just now.

There were no sun, moon, or stars in the sky, simply a gray expanse. All around were low mountains, and in the distance, a red forest could be seen.

This place must be the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Shen Feng could feel there were no restrictions here!

He and Zhou Xinyao, along with others, were on top of a low mountain. People from the other families must have been teleported elsewhere.

According to the information Shen Feng had received from the Jade Token, the area of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm was neither large nor small.

With Shen Feng's current cultivation, he could walk through the entire Azure Dragon Secret Realm without sleep or rest in two days' time.

Zhou Xinyao and the rest had also regained their composure. Zhou An said with a grave tone, "Xinyao, are we still going to protect this brat? Now that the four great families are united, we are no match for them. In my opinion, we should capture this brat and then join up with the people from the four great families."

Zhou Yin also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, I agree. Our Zhou family shouldn't be dragged down by this kid."

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Xinyao's beautiful eyes hardened as she reprimanded, "Zhou An, Zhou Yin, listen well. I, Zhou Xinyao, will stand by my words. Do you want me to become someone who betrays her word?"

Zhou Ruixuan also spoke, "Xinyao is right. I cannot bring myself to do such a thing either."

After hearing Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan's words, Shen Feng felt somewhat heartened. However, he had planned to act alone from the start and immediately took to the air, saying, "I won't stay here and be a burden to you. We will meet again!"

In mid-speech.

His figure quickly swept toward the distance. Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan, wanting to stop him.

But then Zhou Yin said again, "You are members of the Zhou family. If you don't think for yourselves, shouldn't you at least consider the Zhou family?"

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan hesitated for a moment, while Shen Feng's figure had already disappeared from their sight!
