CHAPTER 1044: CHAPTER 1044: MEDICINE KING VALLEY

For Xiao Zheng, the mysterious woman’s help this time is worthy of his gratitude.

"Evil God, no need to be polite. This is just a small favor, done conveniently," the mysterious woman said with a faint smile.

Xiao Zheng nodded, then turned his head towards Titan, sighing, "Unfortunately, although I used my Gang Qi to forcibly suppress Titan’s internal injuries, making him temporarily out of danger, I cannot completely heal them."

A trace of worry crossed Xiao Zheng’s brow.

He temporarily had no good solution in mind.

At this moment, the mysterious woman glanced at Titan and then said, "For a situation like Titan’s, I have a method that might help somewhat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately looked at the mysterious woman and promptly said, "Please teach me!"

The mysterious woman said, "In Hua Country, there are eight martial arts sanctuaries, one of which is called Medicine King Valley. There are countless Holy Medicines in Medicine King Valley, capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh. Among them is a Holy Medicine named Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, which can precisely heal Titan’s injuries of broken meridians throughout his body."

"Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng? I have also heard a bit about it. This medicine grows on the peak of Millennial Snow Mountain and is extremely difficult to find, with earth-shaking effects. The geographical environment where Medicine King Valley is located is very special, with a similar environment to Millennial Snow Mountain, allowing the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng to grow," Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with radiance.

The mysterious woman nodded in admiration and said, "Evil God is indeed knowledgeable. However, Medicine King Valley, as one of the eight sanctuaries of Hua Country, is a transcendent power, extremely mysterious, and hard to find. Even if found, they are very secluded and likely won’t heed requests from outsiders."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. If Medicine King Valley is as the mysterious woman described, then obtaining the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng would indeed be difficult.

Xiao Zheng had previously clashed with Hushan Sect and deeply understood the terrifying foundation of such a martial arts sanctuary, which even the Demon Shield Bureau could not match.

The mysterious woman smiled faintly and said, "Besides, there is another huge problem, a peculiarity unique to you, Evil God."

"Oh?" Xiao Zheng was puzzled upon hearing this.

The mysterious woman smiled and said, "With your previously ferocious attitude, you directly attacked Hushan Sect, humiliating them greatly. And the eight sanctuaries, despite their various conflicts, generally unite against external threats."

"Therefore, in the eyes of the eight sanctuaries, Evil God might already be one of the most disliked people. If you enter Medicine King Valley seeking medicine, there’s a chance you might not obtain it and be driven out instead. Sanctuary people are proud and lofty, likely to act in such a manner."

A sharp glint swept across Xiao Zheng’s eyes, "Hmph, if Medicine King Valley is truly so unreasonable, then I, Xiao Zheng, have no choice but to attack Medicine King Valley like last time and forcibly seek medicine!"

Although provoking a martial arts sanctuary is incredibly foolish, for Titan, Xiao Zheng naturally could do such a thing.

Long Qie then said, "Mr. Xiao, our battle with the Demon Shield Bureau has just subsided, and Sky Net suffered heavy losses, needing time for recuperation. At this time, it’s best not to go to war. Instead, let me go to Medicine King Valley. I will certainly lower myself and use the most sincere attitude to request medicine from them. People are not plants; who can be truly unfeeling? I believe those in Medicine King Valley will not be heartless."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng pondered for a while. Long Qie’s suggestion indeed had an operational value, as if he personally went, there would be less room for maneuvering. His identity was too special.

"Alright, I agree with you," Xiao Zheng finally nodded.

"Hmm!" Long Qie nodded with a firm expression in his eyes. Titan is also his brother, and for Titan, Long Qie would naturally brave danger.

"Evil God, I shall take my leave," said the mysterious woman as she cupped her hands and gracefully left with several women from Yihua Palace.

Dugu Baitian also said, "The Demon Shield Bureau has already been completely eradicated, leaving only a faint residue. Staying here serves no purpose, so I’ll leave first." Having said this, he decisively departed with people from Futu.

After escorting them a certain distance, Xiao Zheng finally returned to the Demon Shield Bureau headquarters.

The subsequent tasks are excessively tedious, but with Catherine and Gongsun Wuliang, two housekeeper-type individuals present, Xiao Zheng did not have to worry much.

Furthermore, he himself sustained severe injuries, and Catherine dared not have Xiao Zheng exert himself, only allowing him to rest well here, restoring his spirit and physical strength to peak condition.

Most of Xiao Zheng’s injuries are due to excessive Gang Qi expenditure, leading to exhaustion and depletion. With a solid foundation and having cultivated the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, recovery was swift.

Long Qie assisted Catherine in handling some matters before leaving, heading to Hua Country to find Medicine King Valley.

However, during this period, there was a minor unexpected occurrence.

While Sky Net’s personnel were clearing the battlefield’s corpses, they discovered that the Steel Man’s Mark Armor from the Demon Shield Bureau was completely empty.

It seems he escaped!

Upon learning this information, Xiao Zheng was indifferent and merely nodded lightly. To him, the Steel Man was just a small shrimp; even if he escaped, it was no big deal.

...

Even during this time, the entire world is already abuzz with turmoil.

The news of Sky Net annihilating the Demon Shield Bureau spread like a hurricane, with almost everyone knowing that the colossal Demon Shield Bureau had collapsed dramatically under Sky Net’s assault.

Furthermore, the specific battle conditions were known to numerous large and small forces.

The fifty-thousand strong army Sky Net deployed is now reduced to a mere thousand, suffering significant losses. Sky Net’s power is greatly diminished!

Instantly, many forces were tempted to seize a piece of the pie, as this was too large a rewarding opportunity; everyone wanted to take a bite.

However, when various forces started moving with ill-intentions, the Hua Country’s Futu and the mysterious Yihua Palace sequentially voiced support for Sky Net, warning anyone who dared to act against Sky Net at this time would be besieged and eradicated by these two forces!

After such declarations from these two juggernaut-level forces, the world settled into silence, and those forces could only cry out helplessly, daring not to act rashly.
