Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Because I Want to Kill You

After Feng Jiang left, Ji Chao continued to sit in meditation at the same place, regulating his breath to heal his injuries.

"Who’s there?"

The martial artist’s senses were sharp; Ji Chao suddenly heard faint footsteps behind him. His heart chilled, and he immediately stood up and turned to look.

In the distance, under the veil of night, a white figure slowly emerged. As the white color gradually advanced, entering Ji Chao’s field of view, it was a young man around twenty years old, wearing a white casual shirt.

A faint smile played upon the young man’s face, yet within that smile lurked a hint of murderous intent.

Ji Chao furrowed his brows, feeling as though he had seen this young man somewhere before.

"Is it you?"

Ji Chao suddenly remembered. Not long ago when he and Valley Chief Feng had passed by a square, this young man had been treating some patients from the Secular World alongside many doctors.

But how did he end up here? Was it by mistake, or did he intentionally follow them?

Ji Chao watched as the young man steadily approached, his heart sinking continuously.

The way the other walked as silently as snow falling on the ground indicated he was surely a martial artist, and the absence of any detectable martial artist aura from him meant that his strength was at least a level higher than Ji Chao’s.

Furthermore, the murderous intent in the other’s eyes was undisguised, which suggested that he was an enemy rather than a friend.

Even at full strength, Ji Chao might not be a match for him, and now, injured as he was, he had no chance of victory and was utterly at the other’s mercy.

"What is your honorable name, friend? We’ve never met before, so why are you following us here?"

Although Ji Chao tried to appear calm, his voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

By this time, Feng Jiang had already gone far. Ji Chao knew that even if he yelled at the top of his lungs, Feng Jiang could not possibly hear him. If the other party made a move, he would be facing certain death.

"My name is Fang Bai."

The young man in the white casual shirt approached Ji Chao and said indifferently, "Although we have never met, I’ve long admired the reputation of ’Ghost Doctor Valley’!"

Fang Bai had followed Feng Jiang and Ji Chao all this way. Earlier, when Ji Chao had made a move against Lin Ruoxue and Dongfang Ruhua, Fang Bai knew that Dongfang Ruhua had a jade pendant he had given her to protect herself, so he didn’t rush to reveal himself.

As expected, Ji Chao suffered greatly after retaliating with the killing intent of the jade pendant and was seriously injured. It was rather fortunate he wasn’t killed on the spot.

"How do you know we’re from ’Ghost Doctor Valley’?"

Ji Chao was startled to hear Fang Bai expose their origin and asked in a shocked voice.

Fang Bai said, "I heard everything you and that Valley Chief Feng discussed!"

Hearing this, Ji Chao’s face turned ashen, his despair deepening.

If the other party had overheard their conversation, and they were completely unaware of his presence, it meant that his strength was likely even greater than Feng Jiang’s. Even if Feng Jiang were here, he would probably stand no chance against him.

Could it be that his cultivation level had already reached the Heaven Level?

When did such a young and outstanding expert appear in the Secular World?

Even in the Hidden Sect World, such a young martial artist with such tremendous strength was utterly rare and unheard of!

"As to why I followed you..."

Fang Bai grinned, articulating each word, "It’s because I want to kill you!"

He paused, then continued with a smile, "As for why I want to kill you... heh, it’s because I am friends with Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong!"

Ji Chao’s face changed dramatically, his pupils constricting as he lost his composure again, "You... how do you know Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong?"

Fang Bai said, "We met by a fortuitous coincidence... Oh, I forgot to tell you, the mother and daughter you were just tracking are also my friends, especially that little girl you wanted to capture for the Furnace Cauldron; she is essentially my disciple. Coveting her was asking for death!"

Knowing that Fang Bai would not let him go, Ji Chao peevishly said, "What will it take for you to spare my life?"

Fang Bai thought for a moment and replied, "Sparing your life isn’t out of the question, but you must honestly answer a few of my questions."

Overjoyed, Ji Chao nodded eagerly, "Good! Ask away, I’ll tell you everything I know!"

The questions Fang Bai asked were mostly about the Ghost Doctor Valley and the Hidden Sect World. Although he had learned some things about the Ghost Doctor Valley from Baili Zhan, Baili was not a core senior member of the valley and had no access to certain essential and secret matters. Now, hearing it from Ji Chao’s mouth, he obtained much more detail.

And from what Fang Bai gathered, he formed a general impression of how the Hidden Sect World was distinct from the Secular World.

Fang Bai was not afraid of Ji Chao lying, because his Divine Sense was the best lie detector. If Ji Chao uttered even one word incorrectly, his emotions would fluctuate slightly and could be detected by Fang Bai’s Divine Sense.

From Ji Chao’s mouth, Fang Bai learned the precise location of the Ghost Doctor Valley, how to enter it, as well as that the Valley Chief Li Ao was a Heaven Level beginner Martial Artist. Above Li Ao, there was a Supreme Elder named Wei He, who was a Heaven Level intermediate Martial Artist.

It was precisely because of these two Heaven Level Martial Artists that the Ghost Doctor Valley could dominate as a mighty force within the Hidden Sect World.

"A promise from a great man is as heavy as a nine-tripod cauldron! I’ve told you all I know. You can let me go now, right?"

Ji Chao looked expectantly at Fang Bai, his greatest fear being that Fang Bai would break his promise and turn on him suddenly.

"I can let you go, but I need to collect some ’interest’!"

As he spoke, Fang Bai stepped forward and unleashed two palms, one heading for Ji Chao’s Qi Sea and the other for the top of his head.

Ji Chao was horrified, knowing how formidable a Martial Artist like Fang Bai could be. If a palm struck him, how could he possibly survive?

Ji Chao wanted to dodge, but how could he match Fang Bai’s speed? Two palms struck one after the other, first one hitting his Qi Sea, followed by another on the top of his head.

Ji Chao felt a thunderous shake within his Qi Sea as the condensed Essence Energy completely shattered and vanished. Then his head exploded with noise, as if cracked open, his vision went dark, and he became dazed and witless.

With those two palms, Fang Bai had first crippled Ji Chao’s Cultivation Level and then scrambled his brain’s neural system. Although it was not enough to take his life, his mental state would likely be abnormal from now on.

Fang Bai didn’t kill Ji Chao, but now Ji Chao was no different from a dead man.

Fang Bai glanced towards the Doctor Pavilion, then vanished into the night, leaving Ji Chao grinning stupidly, aimlessly wandering the mountain road.

At that moment, not far from the Doctor Pavilion headquarters, on a mountain trail, more than a dozen female Disciples from the Doctor Pavilion stood shoulder to shoulder with swords in hand, angrily confronting Feng Jiang.

Feng Jiang had followed Lin Ruoxue and Dongfang Ruhua, encountering the group of female Disciples from the Doctor Pavilion who had come to support after seeing the Signal Flare.

In Feng Jiang’s eyes, many of these Female Martial Artists remained virgins, prime Furnace Cauldrons. If he could enjoy them, he might very well advance to the Heaven Level realm in one stroke, and he couldn’t help but be overjoyed at the prospect.

However, Dongfang Ruhua stood protectively in front of the Doctor Pavilion’s women, confronting Feng Jiang, who harbored a wary respect for her and didn’t dare to move forward to capture anyone right away.
