The Greatest Martial Arts Cultivator

Chapter. 18. Sorrow

Murong Qiu, without looking back, continued to dart through the darkness of the night, the pain she endured. She also felt the longer each movement and her inner strength was decreasing.

By strengthening the determination to continue to shoot, the feeling of dizziness and the body that began to have a fever continued to attack.

From a distance the City Mansion's gate was visible, just as she was only a step away from the gatekeepers, Murong Qiu's vision went completely black, falling unconscious.

Dark, cold, endless solitude and silence, nowhere to lean on or hold on to. A sense of dread began to overwhelm Murong Qiu, fear of loneliness. An extremely chilling chill multiplied the fear for Murong Qiu.

In the darkness, Murong Qiu saw a speck of light, which gave her a glimmer of hope. She chased after the light, and the end of the light met her with the silhouette of her father's shadow.

When she wanted to catch up, her father's shadow seemed to evade and keep drifting away. Murong Qiu called out, but the sound of the call was not heard. She kept trying to call, forced until her throat was dry, unfortunately, the sound of the call didn't come out until the end of the shadow disappeared.

Murong Qiu's hands waved and shouted.

"Father!"

"Father!"

The echo of this scream shook the room.

"Qiu Cici! Calm down first!" Murong Qiu heard a soothing voice, accompanied by a gentle caress on her head.

Murong Qiu opened her eyes, she saw the morning sun shining through the room, beside the bed sat Nalan Jieruo, gently caressing her head. Cold sweat is still felt all over the body.

The whole body feels sickly, the marks from the sword s***h have been spiked with external medicine that can accelerate skin regeneration. Murong Qiu channeled profound energy throughout the meridians, there was no obstacle, and everything flowed smoothly.

"Qiu Cici! Rest in peace! Everything is fine, there is nothing for Cici to worry about!" said Nalan Jieruo as she looked away, her eyelids slightly teary.

"What about Dad? In the endless darkness, I saw the shadow of my father, who walked away from me for good." Murong Qiu sobbed with every word she said, simply unbearable.

"Qiu Cici eat first! Later when Cici's strength has recovered, we will talk again."

Nalan Jieruo took the food on the table that the City Mansion's housekeeper had prepared since this morning, and fed Murong Qiu.

After a few breaths, footsteps could be heard, accompanied by the appearance of Yuan Liong in front of them.

"Is Sister Murong awake? Very well, my sister is awake. Take this pill to speed up the healing!" Yuan Liong ordered who entered the room, and handed a bottle of healing pills to Nalan Jieruo.

"Cultivate for two hours! We will take turns waiting for you here." Finished speaking, Yuan Liong immediately left the room, it's really not good to linger in the girls' room

"Thank you, Brother Gou!" Murong Qiu replied quietly.

"Qiu Cici! Did you know? Last night Liong Gege worked hard, curing the poison in Cici's body, Liong Gege said–'the poison almost attacked Qiu Cici's heart' great one." Nalan Jieruo told the story, the look of admiration clearly evident when she told the story of Yuan Liong's greatness.

Murong Qiu, who heard this story, felt a little warmth in her heart. What kind of warmth is this? She wanted to continue to feel this warmth forever.

"Is that so! Wow! ! Great, really great, Liong Gege really is a tiger among humans, he is very good at hiding his magic healer's hand." Murong Qiu's face turned slightly red when she said that.

That's how Murong Qiu, who had just woken up, didn't know the state of Xia Yu City at that time. Indeed, this morning the usually calm and peaceful Xia Yu City was shocked by the news of deep sorrow.

The news of the death of the City Lord and his entire family, and some of the main bodyguards, came as a surprise to the residents of Xia Yu City. The faces of sorrow were depicted in almost all of Xia Yu City's residents.

Indeed, Patriarch Sun was known for his very friendly personality, as well as for being a role model for the city's people. So naturally, when This sad news was conveyed by everyone showed disbelief.

This news of the death also made the Main Family move quickly, by choosing a new City Lord. Considering the love of the people and the reasons for wanting to do closed-door cultivation in Martial Arts, each Family Head decided on a Patriarch Xia who doesn't focus on Martial Arts, will be the new City Lord for now here.

For now, news of Patriarch Sun's daughter's condition was kept secret, this was done directly by Grandpa Zhou.

With years of experience living in the Green Jungle, Grandpa Zhou was sure, that Murong Qiu's condition was known to those who attacked Patriarch Sun's entourage. They will definitely draw up a plan to pull the grass down to the roots.

After cultivating for more than two hours, Murong Qiu felt that her inner strength had improved. By that time, Grandpa Zhou, Yuan Liong, and Nalan Jieruo were also in her room.

Grandpa Zhou opened the conversation, softly and carefully he said, "Qiu'er! ... Grandpa hopes you don't be too sad, you must have guessed how your father's condition is, but the overall condition of the situation here you must know clearly."

"Grandpa can't tell the incident from last night's intercept. When it happened, you were at the scene, you should have understood that more clearly."

Grandpa Zhou started to narrate, he waited for a moment's pause, letting Murong Qiu project the events of last night clearly in her own mind.

The images of last night's events replayed in Murong Qiu's mind and stopped when she fell in front of the gatekeeper. Murong Qiu nodded her head and then said, "Please grandpa continue!"

"After you faint you are in a state between life and death, more towards the path of death. It is fortunate that the poison was successfully removed with this great medicinal technique by your Liong Gege, then you are safe!"

While telling the story Grandpa Zhou also sneered at Yuan Liong, who was good at hiding his prowess.

"Grandpa will be frank, when grandpa reaches the scene, the fight is over. Leaving only a few lifeless corpses, to be precise the entire City Lord Family and its main bodyguards."

Grandpa Zhou kept telling stories including about Xia Yu's new City Lord, Xia Qiouyan.

While listening to the story, Murong Qiu couldn't help but cry. In her heart, she was determined to take this revenge.

Then Grandpa Zhou also explained their next plan, that tonight, the four of them would leave Xia Yu City and return to the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Grandpa Zhou, who was an elder in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, was free for him to recruit new disciples he deemed fit and talented. So Grandpa Zhou took advantage of this privilege to bring Yuan Liong and Murong Qiu to the Heavenly Dragon Sect as new disciples.

Before they left Xia Yu City, Yuan Liong took the opportunity to meet Manager Lei.

From Manager Lei, Yuan Liong obtained information that four years ago, the Three Devils of the South had disappeared from the South, last being seen in the Valley of the Skeleton Sect. If you want to track down these three devils then you have to start from the Valley of the Skeleton Sect.
