"That's right." Tan Xiu nodded slowly. "I've broken through to the 2nd stage of the Star Heavenly Essence. But I didn't expect that my strength would soar so much after the breakthrough. Now, I'm confident that I can kill a late-stage Spirit Severing expert. "
Gu Yan 'er's eyes lit up and she immediately said with a smile, "With your cultivation speed, it won't take long for you to complete the 9th stage of the Star Heavenly Essence and reach a higher level, Master. Do you think you'll be comparable to a Transcending Tribulation expert at that time? "
"If my guess is correct, I should be comparable to a Transcending Tribulation expert." Tan Xiu nodded. "I even have a vague feeling that the benefits I'll get once I complete the 9th stage of the Star Heavenly Essence will be more than this. That's right, how are your injuries? "
"They're much better now." Gu Yan 'er replied with a smile, "I'll be fully healed in 2 years at most."
Tan Xiu nodded. "You still need to find some heavenly treasures, preferably precious herbs that can help with your injuries. Yan 'er, Xue Yu has been cultivating with you recently. How's her situation? "
"Very good." Gu Yan 'er nodded. "She's now at the late-stage of the Spirit Severing Stage and her realm is very stable. I don't know why, but her state of mind is improving faster than her cultivation. As long as she can absorb a lot of energy, she'll be able to directly cross the Spirit Severing Stage and become a Body Integration Stage expert. "
"Very good. Then let her continue to cultivate with you!" Tan Xiu said. "If she can break through to the Great Ascension Stage when I break through to the 9th stage of the Star Heavenly Essence, she'll definitely be a great help to me in the future. Also, how's Chen Zhizhong? "
"His situation is a bit strange." Gu Yan 'er forced a smile. "His memory has returned, but his cultivation hasn't. Instead, it regressed after he cultivated hard. He's now only at the early-stage of Foundation Establishment."
"What?"
A surprised expression appeared on Tang Xiu's face.
"I don't know the specific reason," Gu Yan 'er said. Old Ji and I checked his body many times, but we didn't find anything abnormal. But his cultivation is still regressing. If it wasn't for his diligence, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to maintain his Foundation Establishment stage. "
Tan Xiu asked, "Where is he now?"
Gu Yan 'er said, "A few days ago, there was news from outside that his son was beaten up in Star City. Moreover, his injuries are quite serious, so he has rushed back to China. He should be in Star City now!"
Tan Xiu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Yan 'er said, "I don't know the specific reason. He only knew that his son was scammed by the other party because he wanted to buy something. As a result, there was a conflict, and his son was severely injured. It was said that he was still in a coma. However, Junior Sister is already treating his son, so there shouldn't be any big problems. "
"Dai Xinyue?"
Tan Xiu asked with a surprised expression.
"That's right, it's Xinyue." Gu Yan 'er chuckled. "Junior Sister's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past year. I heard that she's very famous in Star City. Even some patients from other places come to Star City to look for her, hoping that she can treat them. Xiaoxue said some time ago that four Grandmaster Chinese Medical doctors appeared in Star City at the same time and asked her for advice on medical skills. As a result, she shocked those four Grandmaster Chinese Medical doctors, making them think that Junior Sister will be the most outstanding person in the Chinese Medical field in the future. One of them even said that Junior Sister is likely to succeed you and become the new Divine Doctor. "
Tan Xiu didn't feel happy after hearing it. Instead, he silently shook his head and sighed, "She does have some achievements in Chinese Medical, but she pays too much attention to the study and research of Chinese Medical, which will inevitably affect her cultivation. If my guess is correct, her current cultivation is not high, right?"
"It seems to be at the early stage of Foundation Establishment." Gu Yan 'er nodded.
"Did you send her a lot of cultivation resources?" asked Tan Xiu.
"She's my Junior Sister, after all!" Gu Yan 'er chuckled. "It's only right that I send her some cultivation resources! It's just a pity that I haven't had a good chat with her until now. "
"Don't worry. You'll have the chance later," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Whoosh …
A figure flashed lightning-fast like an arrow from the distance and stood in front of Tan Xiu and Gu Yan 'er in just a few breaths.
"Master, Grand Master."
After saluting them, Gu Xiaoxue said, "I just got the news from Japan that Kuwako Yamamoto is asking for help. I've sent our people in the vicinity of Japan to rush over there, but those there are only outer disciples, so they won't be of much help. "
"What happened?" asked Tan Xiu with a changed expression.
"Kuwako Yamamoto successfully became the Patriarch of the Yamamoto Clan more than a month ago," said Gu Xiaoxue. "Just as she was about to eradicate the last obstacle of the Northstar One Blade School, dozens of Ninjutsu experts suddenly appeared around that person. Two of them are even stronger than Kuwako Yamamoto."
"Where's Tang Guang now?" asked Tan Xiu in a deep voice.
"He's in Japan, but he's also injured. He's resisting those powerful enemies with Kuwako Yamamoto," answered Gu Xiaoxue.
Tan Xiu's fingers moved and a seal was cast. In just a few breaths, Ji Chimei appeared in front of Tan Xiu and the others.
"Venerable Lord."
Ji Chimei respectfully saluted.
"Yan 'er is injured. Escort us to Japan," said Tan Xiu.
Ji Chimei's expression moved and she slightly nodded.
Soon after.
Four figures quickly appeared in front of Tan Xiu's group. They were Mo Awu, Xue Sha, Hei Xiong, and Hei Wuya, who had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage.
"Let's go!"
Said Tan Xiu indifferently.
Ji Chimei slightly nodded in response. She released a burst of energy that instantly wrapped around Tang Xiu and the rest. Before she left, her finger pointed to a spot not far away and then flew toward Japan's direction like a meteor.
Two minutes passed.
Ji Chimei, along with Tan Xiu's group, appeared in the sky above Japan. Her overwhelming spiritual sense shrouded the entire country and quickly found Kuwako and Tang Guang in a manor.
"Who are you?"
Figures flickered lightning-fast and rushed out of the manor's square. More than a dozen of them were Tang Sect's outer disciples, so they immediately looked respectful after seeing who they were.
Tan Xiu glanced at the direction where Ji Chimei went and sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Dao laws in this world were so powerful that Ji Chimei could only exert less than 1% of its power. This was also the reason why it took her two minutes to bring them to Japan.
"Grand Master!"
"Boss!"
Tang Guang and Kuwako, who were covered with wounds and bandaged, quickly appeared in front of Tan Xiu. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tan Xiu, Mo Awu, and the others.
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Let's find a place where we can talk. Lead the way."
"Please follow me, Boss," said Kuwako respectfully.
Inside a two-story building. Kuwako waited for Tan Xiu to take a seat before she personally brewed tea and brought it to Tan Xiu's side. "I didn't expect you to come so fast, Sect Master. We thought we would have to stay here for a few more days."
"Tell me about the situation here," said Tan Xiu.
"I've successfully become the Yamamoto Family's Patriarch and the Northstar One Blade School's Deputy Sect Master," said Kuwako. Originally, I could have taken over the position of Sect Master two days ago, but the Great Elder of the Northstar One Blade School, Osashi Kitagishi, suddenly made things difficult for me. A group of mysterious experts appeared beside him, ten of whom were comparable to Golden Core Stage experts. The other two old men were even more powerful. Fortunately, Elder Tang Guang was there, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died in their hands. "
"How strong are they?" Tan Xiu looked at Tang Guang and asked.
Tang Guang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage yet, so I don't know how strong Nascent Soul Stage experts are. But those two are absolutely capable of suppressing a late-stage Golden Core expert. The injuries on me and Kuwako's bodies were caused by them. But … "
"But what?"
Asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"That Osashi Kitagishi has yet to act, but I suspect he's even stronger since he can command so many experts," said Tang Guang with a solemn expression. "Maybe he really has the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage expert."
Tan Xiu shifted his gaze back to Kuwako and asked, "I want to know about this Osashi Kitagishi's past."
"Osashi Kitagishi was originally a training instructor of the Northstar One Blade School," said Kuwako. "But he was promoted because he made great contributions to the Northstar One Blade School in a special mission. Ever since he became the Grand Elder, he has shown great talent. He was appointed as the Grand Elder and was fortunate enough to enter the Elder Cabinet because he kept creating benefits for the Northstar One Blade School. However, according to my understanding of him, it's impossible for him to have a very strong strength even if he entered the Elder Cabinet, let alone having so many experts around him. In fact, I also have some suspicions about him. "
"What do you suspect?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I suspect that the Northstar One Blade School's background is not as simple as what I've seen," said Kuwako. "Although I don't know who those experts around Osashi Kitagishi are, I suspect that they are also from the Northstar One Blade School and are secretly trained experts."
"You mean … there are people from the Northstar One Blade School who don't want you to become the Sect Master?" Tan Xiu frowned.
"That's right," said Kuwako in a low voice. "The reason I got the opportunity to become the Sect Master was mainly because I controlled the current Sect Master and forced him to submit to me."
"A forcibly picked melon won't be sweet!"
Tan Xiu sighed and asked, "So, where is the Sect Master of the Northstar One Blade School now?"
"He's missing." Kuwako shook her head and said, "Even though I control his life and death and have a special connection with him, I don't know what method he used to block my perception of him, so I don't know where he is now."
