Wei Shanhai was equally stunned by the scene before him.The old doctor’s technique to freeze the sword qi was somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Precelestial Domain.
But the Precelestial Domain was usually only accessible to the pinnacle of experts who had reached the perfection of the Precelestial stage.
Moreover, the power displayed by the old doctor seemed much smaller in comparison.
It was said that a true Precelestial Domain, once unfolded, could control everything within it.
If that were the case, annihilating Wang Cangyi’s sword qi would be a mere thought.
There would be no need to freeze it first and then gradually grind it away.
Nevertheless, the old doctor’s display was still beyond what the initial Precelestial stage should possess.
So, both the two Precelestial experts and the young man on the city wall were completely shocked.
As for the other martial artists, they were long since dumbfounded.
When had they ever seen such a miraculous method? This had surpassed their understanding of martial arts.
“Master’s martial talent is indeed extraordinary.”
Lu Qing, seeing his master break Wang Cangyi’s full-force killing move with one strike, nodded silently.
Among all the martial artists, he was probably the only one not too surprised by this scene.
Having his own special abilities, he had long known that his master had grasped a hint of the Precelestial Domain.
After all, the techniques his master practiced were left behind by Li Weitian, who had perfected the Precelestial stage.
Techniques valued by such an unparalleled expert couldn’t be simple.
However, since Lu Qing hadn’t reached the Precelestial stage, he was unsure if a hint of the domain’s power could contend with someone like Wang Cangyi, who had been immersed in the Precelestial stage for many years.
Now it seemed that even a hint of the domain’s power was beyond what an ordinary initial Precelestial stage could handle.
“Do you still wish to fight?”
After breaking Wang Cangyi’s sword qi, the old doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more confident.
“Who exactly are you, sir?”
Wang Cangyi looked at the old doctor, a sense of fear arising in his heart, and his tone became respectful.
To comprehend the domain at the initial Precelestial stage, he couldn’t be an ordinary Precelestial expert.
Such monsters only existed in the topmost forces.
Realizing that he might have offended such a force, Wang Cangyi’s heart trembled.
Though the Tian Cang Sect was not weak, it couldn’t compare to those truly top-tier forces standing tall in the world.
Facing such ancient and deeply rooted legacies, they were still far inferior.
“Who I am doesn’t matter. I came here merely to ask you to show mercy and not to engage in wanton killing.”
Wang Cangyi’s face turned grim.
He had put so much effort into cornering the Wei family, losing three of his direct disciples in the process. How could he be willing to give up now?
But looking at the calm old doctor and the vigilant Wei Shanhai beside him, Wang Cangyi knew that, despite his unwillingness, he had to accept the reality.
He no longer had the power to destroy the Wei family.
If he continued to fight, he might even end up dead.
At this moment, Wang Cangyi suddenly regretted.
When he came to Cang County, a sect elder had expressed a desire to cooperate with him.
He had rejected the elder’s offer to monopolize the treasure, thinking he could control the situation himself.
If he had agreed to cooperate, the Wei family would have long been under his control, avoiding the current complications.
But it was too late for regrets now.
“Fine, I’ll give you face, sir. Let’s go, Xiong’er!”
However, Wang Cangyi was not an ordinary person. As a Precelestial expert over a hundred years old, he still had decisiveness.
Seeing no point in further entanglement and fearing to offend a mysterious powerful force, he decided to give the old doctor face.
After a deep look at Wei Shanhai, Wang Cangyi sheathed his sword and left.
The burly man followed silently, and the remaining Tian Cang Sect disciples quickly followed suit.
“These villains are just leaving?”
Seeing the Tian Cang Sect members gradually retreat, Wei Zian couldn’t believe it, breaking the silence.
“Child, that Wang Cangyi cannot defeat this Precelestial master. What else can he do but leave?”
Wei Xinghe laughed, feeling relieved.
Earlier, facing Wang Cangyi’s terrifying sword qi, he thought they were all doomed.
“Thank you for saving my family from a life-and-death crisis. We, the Wei family, will never forget this kindness.”
At this moment, Wei Shanhai suddenly bowed deeply to the old doctor, performing a solemn salute.
“Thank you for saving us!”
Wei Xinghe, the head steward, and the Silver Moon Guards also respectfully saluted the old doctor.
“No need for such formality. I just did what I felt was right,” the old doctor said, waving his hand.
Having practiced medicine for many years and received countless gratitude, he was long accustomed to it.
“Husband, Ancestor, there are many people here. We should return to the manor,” Mrs. Wei reminded.
She knew the main purpose of the old doctor’s visit was to heal the Ancestor’s injuries, something not suitable to mention here.
“Yes, it was my oversight.” Wei Shanhai quickly responded, “Please, follow me to the manor, so I can properly thank you.”
The old doctor and the others naturally did not refuse, and the group headed into the city.
At this time, many martial artists still lingered near the city gate, all elites from various forces within the city.
But seeing the Wei family, they quickly stepped aside, not daring to voice any opinions.
With the Tian Cang Sect members gone, the Wei family had once again become the most transcendent force in the county. No one would be foolish enough to offend them.
As they avoided them, all eyes were on the old doctor and Lu Qing, trying to remember their appearances.
Everyone could see that the Wei family’s survival was entirely due to the old doctor’s help.
Curiosity about such a mysterious and powerful Precelestial expert was natural.
Unfortunately, the old doctor wore a hat throughout, preventing anyone from seeing his true face.
So, everyone focused more on Lu Qing.
After all, defeating a martial arts grandmaster with Tendons and Bones Realm cultivation was equally astonishing.
But as they watched, some noticed something strange.
After the Wei family had entered the city, one martial artist nudged another beside him.
“Chief Ma, the young man walking beside that incredibly strong young man, doesn’t he look a bit like your Magu?”
“I-I don’t know!”
The one nudged was a lean old man with a goatee, feeling confused.
“I’m sure it’s him. I watched that kid grow up. Although he hasn’t returned to the city much in recent years, I wouldn’t mistake him.”
Another martial artist, obviously friendly with the Ma family, said confidently.
“Congratulations, Chief Ma! Magu knows that mysterious Precelestial expert and even escorted the Wei family’s matron and young master back. Your Ma family is bound to rise!”
A martial artist said enviously.
“I-I’m not sure. I’ll go confirm.”
After dealing with familiar members of other families, Chief Ma hurried home, feeling dizzy.
Although he claimed uncertainty, he could still recognize Magu. He had recently sent him to escort a batch of supplies to the state capital.
But after escorting the supplies, Magu didn’t return, saying the city was too chaotic and he’d wait out the trouble at the Grand Bazaar.
Unexpectedly, he had accomplished such a great feat in silence.
Thinking of this, Chief Ma couldn’t help but feel excited.
He suddenly felt their Ma family’s rise might be imminent.
“Zhiyue, do you know who that Precelestial expert wearing the hat is?”
On the city wall, the County Magistrate looked at the Wei family’s figures with a solemn expression and asked.
“Yes, I know,” the young man in plain clothes nodded.
“Who is he?” the County Magistrate asked eagerly.
“You’ll find out later, but I can tell you that you know this Precelestial expert.”
“Someone I know?” The County Magistrate’s eyes widened.
But the young man in plain clothes was too preoccupied to answer his friend’s surprise.
He watched the old doctor’s back, still carrying a hint of indescribable shock in his eyes. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
