Chapter 425: Chapter 401: Matters of Inner and Outer Time [Combined Chapter]

The cultivator of the Medicine King Sect looked surprised upon seeing Xiao Heng and his companions addressing him with such deference.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said, “Why such flattery, my friends? Are you just trying to amuse me?”

“We’re all Nascent Soul Monks, we can address each other as equals.” He told Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei.

“Nascent Soul Monk?”

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Heng and his companions realized that the monk who had been sleeping for thousands of years seemed to have only reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

But there was a significant difference between his aura and that of the Nascent Soul Monks nowadays.

This was why they didn’t recognize it at first.

Regardless, a Nascent Soul Monk from the ancient times still surviving to this day was decidedly extraordinary.

Xiao Heng and the others didn’t let their guards down and were contemplating on how to continue the conversation and get some information.

But they heard the other party spew out a lot of words like diarrhea of the mouth.

“My name is Ling Huchang, an inner disciple of the Medicine King Sect.”

“When the Medicine King Cauldron fell into the Xuanhuang World, I recall that the sect master had already sealed the entire cauldron and sent out a distress signal.”

“If you were able to enter the Medicine King Cauldron, then aid from the Immortal Dao Ten Clans must have already arrived.”

“I wonder how the other sect brothers are doing now? Has the sect master awakened?”

As Ling Huchang spoke, he happily headed toward the door to leave.

But catching sight of the peculiar looks on the faces of Xiao Heng and his companions, he was stunned.

“Could something unexpected have happened?”

With these words, he hastily made his way outside.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng and his companions hurriedly followed.

“What’s going on? Why is the [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array] still operating?”

“Why am I the only one who has awakened prematurely?”

“Where are the rescue cultivators from the Immortal Dao Ten Clans?”

Ling Huchang’s astonished voice echoed in the empty Medicine King Cauldron.

“The Life and Death Gate has fallen? What happened on the sect master’s side?”

“What on earth is going on?”

His voice, trembling with suppressed panic, swept over the area. After a quick glance around, he flew back in front of Xiao Heng and his companions.

Staring at them intently, he inquired, “Who exactly are you people and how did you get into my sect’s Medicine King Cauldron?”

Xiao Heng considered for a moment and said slowly, “The situation is somewhat complicated. You might want to prepare yourself.”

Ling Huchang narrowed his eyes and listened quietly.

“In fact, you have been sleeping for thousands of years. The fall of the Medicine King Cauldron into another world is already a matter of the ancient times…”

Before Xiao Heng could finish, Ling Huchang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Laughing out of sheer disbelief, he said, “Such nonsense! Do you really think my Medicine King Sect’s [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array] is just for show? You can’t even get the duration of my slumber right?”

“Twenty-four years has been turned into thousands of years by your embellishment. At least try to make a believable lie, will you?”

A look of displeasure crossed Ling Huchang’s face as he drew out a gourd.

“Something felt off about you guys from the beginning, as it turns out, you’re from the side of evil and trying to deceive me.”

“Prepare to die!”

At Ling Huchang’s words, a stream of dozens of green glimmers burst out from the gourd.

Their edges were sharp like blades, and they were fast like lightning.

In an instant, they were right in front of Xiao Heng and his companions.

“Xiao Heng, be careful!” Zhang Haobo looked drastically changed as this Ling Huchang did not hesitate to use lethal force.

The Sea of Blood above Zhang Haobo suddenly emerged, with blood-red light streaming out amidst tumultuous waves and clashing with the green glimmers.

“Bang, bang!”

Amid the sound of powerful explosions, Ling Huchang glanced up at the boundless Sea of Blood above him. A flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes.

However, it only made him more convinced of his judgment.

With a dignified anger, Ling Huchang shouted, “You indeed are Demon Cultivators. Surrender imme…”

Before he could finish speaking, several voices simultaneously interrupted him from all directions.

“You really are annoying. You’ve been saying all sorts of incomprehensible stuff since earlier.”

“Did you just wake up from a long sleep or something?”

Ling Huchang looked around, and to his surprise, they were surrounded by many Faceless Blood Faces.

“No problem, we can help you wake up.”

The many Faceless Blood Faces tilted their heads and emitted eerie laughter.

They then disappeared on the spot, rushing towards Ling Huchang.

Ling Huchang felt a tightening in his heart, but he did not panic.

From his mouth, he spat out a Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron which hovered over his head.

The radiance gushed out like a waterfall forming a protective shield.

At the same time, he slapped the gourd.

The Qing gourd spun in the air, and willow-leaf-shaped glimmers sprayed out like a rainstorm.

He then unleashed an attack towards Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo.

Xiao Heng knew with his current strength, he couldn’t join a fight at the Nascent Soul level.

If he forced himself, he would only become a burden.

So, he quietly retreated, wanting to distance himself from the battlefield.

Just then, he suddenly caught an unidentified fragrance.

Upon thinking of the title of the other party as a disciple of the Medicine King Sect, he couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

“Be careful, this fragrance seems to be unusual.”

He quickly warned his companions via telepathy, at the same time he held his breath trying to resist the fragrance.

But for some unknown reason, Xiao Heng couldn’t resist the fragrance.

The fragrance became more and more intense, Xiao Heng felt dizzy, and his body began to weaken.

Remarkably, Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei only staggered momentarily before recovering quickly.

The willow leaf-shaped green glimmers from the gourd seemed endless, and the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron’s defense was flawless.

The attacks from Zhang and Su hit the cauldron, causing it to wobble, yet it remained resilient for the time being.
