Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Do You Think They Are Both Fools?
And indeed, it was so. Before the appearance of the white-browed elder with the strength of an early-stage Heaven Level Martial Artist, Fang Bai, himself a Heaven Level Martial Artist, had not encountered any, and only met two Earth Level Martial Artists.
One was Nangong Ming from the Hidden Sect’s "Ghost Doctor Valley," and the other was the Fat Taoist, Wu De.
Nangong Ming had emerged into the secular world by the order of his master to collect Wood Element Stones while simultaneously pursuing the married couple, Baili Zhan.
As for the Fat Taoist, Wu De, a master tomb raider, he was able to acquire quite a few Cultivation Resources in the secular world, so it didn’t matter to him whether he joined the Hidden Sect World or not.
Thus, the emergence of this white-browed elder with Heaven Level strength surprised Fang Bai greatly.
However, Fang Bai was only surprised and wary, but not afraid.
Fang Bai’s cultivation of the "Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique" had reached the middle stage of the Xingyuan Realm, the third layer, equivalent to a Martial Artist of mid-Earth Rank in the Secular Ancient Martial World. The high rank of the "Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique" granted Fang Bai the ability to fight beyond his level.
Although Fang Bai had never encountered or confronted a Heaven Level Martial Artist, he had a strong confidence that with his current strength, he could battle a Heaven Level Martial Artist.
"The Dragon Maiden is a member of the ’Dragon Guards.’ The white-browed elder with her, could he also be from the ’Dragon Guards’? But why are this old and young pair stealthily following us, what is their intention? From the aura emanating from them, there doesn’t seem to be any intent to kill or malice..."
Fang Bai secretly speculated about the white-browed elder’s identity, and a certain possibility suddenly crossed his mind, though he was not yet certain.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
Ghost Hand saw his master suddenly call to stop, no longer continuing to run for physical training, and with a bizarre expression pondering something, he couldn’t help but ask.
Though Ghost Hand had unmatched strength at his level, he was still only a Profound Level Martial Artist. His sensory range only extended to a hundred meters radius, completely unable to detect the Dragon Maiden and the white-browed elder who were several hundred meters away.
"It’s nothing."
Hearing Ghost Hand’s inquiry, Fang Bai waved his hand and immediately regained his composure.
Fang Bai wanted to see what the Dragon Maiden and the white-browed elder’s purpose was in following him and Ghost Hand, so he chose not to reveal the truth to Ghost Hand to prevent him from looking around restlessly, which might let the other party know that their tracks had been exposed.
Ending their pure physical sprinting state, they began to circulate True Yuan and advanced forward with swift movements.
The Dragon Maiden and white-browed elder, who were trailing them by several hundred meters, maintained the same speed to continue their pursuit.
"They are all Martial Artists, so why didn’t they circulate True Yuan and use movement techniques earlier, instead choosing to drain their physical strength by running madly? They ended up utterly exhausted and panting heavily; is that pleasant? I really can’t understand what Fang Bai and his disciple are up to!"
Several hundred meters behind Fang Bai and his disciple, the Dragon Maiden put down her telescope, her brow furrowed in confusion as she muttered to herself.
"Do you think the two of them are fools? If I’m not mistaken, this should be one of their training methods!"
Standing beside the Dragon Maiden, the white-browed elder’s eyes peered ahead, gleaming with intelligence as he spoke in a deep voice.
The white-browed elder was a Heaven Level Martial Artist, with keen senses, making it hard for any movement within a thousand meters to escape his notice.
Similarly, he could easily capture any fluctuations in the martial artist aura within this range.
Therefore, the white-browed elder did not need to use a telescope to observe Fang Bai and his disciple’s movements all the time like the Dragon Maiden; he merely had to follow the martial artist aura emanating from the two individuals. This way, he wouldn’t lose track of them.
Of course, given Ghost Hand’s current cultivation level, there was still a significant gap compared to the white-browed elder, so no matter how much he tried to conceal his own aura, the elder was able to capture some of it.
But Fang Bai was different.
If Fang Bai wished, he could perfectly hide his own aura, making himself appear to outsiders like an ordinary person. It wouldn’t matter if it were a Heaven Level Martial Artist like the white-browed elder or even those of a higher realm—they wouldn’t feel any martial artist aura fluctuations from him.
However, Fang Bai was now a member of the "Dragon Guard," and in front of the Dragon Maiden, there was no need for him to hide his strength. He merely suppressed his cultivation level and realm slightly.
At this moment, in the eyes of the white-browed elder, Fang Bai was merely an Earth Rank beginner-level martial artist.
Still, a twenty-year-old Earth Rank beginner-level martial artist was enough to astonish the white-browed elder deeply. He thought it was no wonder that Wang Huashan, the top expert of the Wang Family in Yanjing with mid-level Profound strength, was defeated by Fang Bai in one move—the gap in their cultivation realms was simply too vast.
Wang Huashan, merely a mid-level Profound martial artist, had once dared to challenge Fang Bai, who possessed Earth Rank beginner-level strength. It would be utterly against the natural order if he had not lost; the fact that he had not been injured or crippled was due to Fang Bai showing mercy.
"I, Long Jingtian, once prided myself on my exceptional talent, but even I hadn’t reached this realm by the age of twenty! A twenty-year-old Earth Rank martial artist, perhaps this is unique in the history of the Secular Ancient Martial World?"
The white-browed elder, sensing the fluctuations of Fang Bai’s martial artist aura from afar, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
The white-browed elder accompanying the Dragon Maiden was naturally Long Jingtian, the leader of the "Dragon Guard."
The reason Long Jingtian personally left retirement was to prevent a deadly dispute between Fang Bai and his disciple and Shaolin, similar to the bloody incidents with Misty Rain Tower and Qingcheng Temple. If necessary, he would intervene and stop it.
This was because Long Jingtian, in his covert investigation of the massacre at Myriad Medicine Valley, learned that the Shaolin disciples had backed out midway and had not participated in the slaughter of the Myriad Medicine Valley disciples.
Furthermore, Long Jingtian’s private relationship with Abbot Jueren of Shaolin was very good, and Jueren was also an important member of the Dragon Guard’s Earth group. An incident with either him or Fang Bai would be a significant loss for the Dragon Guard.
Long Jingtian believed that there was no factor necessitating a fight to the death between Ghost Hand and Shaolin. If he could persuade them to avoid conflict, that would be best. If persuasion failed, he would need to exert his own strength and forcefully prevent it.
Even though Fang Bai and his disciple had successfully slaughtered all the Profound Level Experts of Misty Rain Tower and Qingcheng Temple, coming out unscathed, Long Jingtian was not optimistic about their visit to Shaolin.
Shaolin’s heritage had lasted for over two thousand years, with numerous martial monks and experts. It was said that there were 108 Profound Level Martial Artists alone, and their overall strength far surpassed that of Misty Rain Tower and Qingcheng Temple.
The strength of Master Jueren, the current Shaolin Abbot, had reached Earth Rank mid-level, and in Long Jingtian’s view, even if Fang Bai and his disciple joined forces, they might not be Jueren’s match.
Moreover, Shaolin was famous for the "One Pavilion, One Court, Four Halls," the six elders, and the renowned formation of the Eighteen Arhats.
Particularly, the Eighteen Arhats Formation, led by the six elders of the "One Pavilion, One Court, Four Halls," together with twelve other martial monks with Profound Level Perfection, was so formidable that it could trap any expert below a Heaven Level Expert.
Thus, Long Jingtian was more worried about Fang Bai and his disciple. The two of them were young and impulsive; if they failed to see the difficulty and chose to clash heads with Shaolin, they would likely meet their ends there.
