Chapter 1382: The Mighty of Old—Lv Chunyang!
Deep within Medicine King Valley.
Cold Domain.
The entire place is permeated with a chill that suspends in the air, emanating a ghostly blue hue. An ordinary person entering here would likely freeze to death instantly.
The low temperature can maintain vitality. The masters of Medicine King Valley retreat here for cultivation, seeking to extend their lifespans and seize more opportunities for breakthroughs.
Before entering the Cold Domain, Yao Qiantu respectfully bowed deeply, then loudly proclaimed, "Esteemed elders, Medicine King Valley now faces a massive crisis. The Blood Clan has invaded, Daos has slaughtered, and we are no longer able to resist. We humbly request your assistance."
After speaking, Yao Qiantu stood waiting in place, but there was no movement from the Cold Domain ahead for quite some time.
"Damn it!"
Yao Qiantu cursed inwardly.
This group of reclusive masters only cares about their own cultivation, ignoring the colossal crisis befalling Medicine King Valley. Such indifference!
However, Yao Qiantu was unwilling to give up. If he did, Medicine King Valley might truly suffer great losses today.
After pondering, Yao Qiantu earnestly pleaded, "Esteemed elders, remember how the people of Medicine King Valley have always served you respectfully. Please intervene. There are many of your descendants within Medicine King Valley. If you don’t step in, they may perish in this calamity."
After some time, there was a subtle movement deep within the Cold Domain. An ancient voice slowly asked, "What has happened?"
Yao Qiantu was overjoyed and quickly explained the invasion by Vlad III and others in brief, not daring to hide anything. If he concealed anything and these reclusive masters discovered it upon venturing out, he’d be doomed.
"Vlad III?"
Upon hearing this name, the reclusive masters in the Cold Domain let out several exclamations, indicating they were aware of this terrifying name.
Suddenly, the elderly voice that had spoken before fell silent again.
Yao Qiantu’s eyes widened. Could it be these people were afraid? He was dismayed and on the verge of tears. Was Vlad III truly that frightening?
Yao Qiantu knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Esteemed elders, if you do not intervene, today the sanctity of Medicine King Valley might be trampled by this Western Blood Clan!"
"Fine."
Suddenly, at this moment, a voice emerged from deep within the Cold Domain, "I have lived for one hundred and thirty years and still see no hope of breakthrough. Since that’s the case, let me exert my final bit of warmth."
Hoo...
As the words were spoken, the chill within the Cold Domain suddenly fluctuated, surging like waves, and a mysterious figure silently appeared before Yao Qiantu.
"Ah..."
Yao Qiantu was startled. This person had appeared too eerily, almost like a ghost.
"Hehe, the current Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, with such a timid demeanor?" The person chuckled.
Yao Qiantu couldn’t help but look up. The person before him was indeed extremely aged, with layers of wrinkles covering his face, sparse hair nearly falling out, and few teeth remaining.
Completely a decrepit old man.
Such a person seemed frail, not resembling a master at all.
"May I ask your name, elder?" Yao Qiantu cautiously inquired. Although this person seemed exceedingly weak, anyone who could retreat within this Cold Domain was certainly not ordinary, perhaps once a renowned and terrifying figure.
"My name... I have hardly used it in so long that I almost forgot. My name is... Lv Chunyang." The decrepit old man chuckled.
"What?"
Yao Qiantu was aghast and involuntarily spoke.
Lv Chunyang?
The legendary genius of yore?
This person was once an incredible existence. When he was active in the world, Medicine King Valley experienced its most glorious period, undefeated throughout the sanctuaries.
It’s said that he was once besieged by three enemy Martial Saints of the same level, trapped in a lethal situation, yet managed to escape, even killing one!
"I never expected Lv Sr. would intervene; Medicine King Valley is saved." Yao Qiantu exclaimed in excitement.
"Hehe, not necessarily. I am now just an old man." Lv Chunyang chuckled, appearing fond of laughter, "Alright, now lead me there to meet Vlad III."
"Yes."
Yao Qiantu responded excitedly.
At this moment, he led Lv Chunyang to the intense battle site.
"Vlad III, long time no see." Lv Chunyang carried his hands behind his back, his body hunched, smiling with his face full of wrinkles.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Yao Qiantu brought this old man, Vlad III was initially surprised, then frowned, sensing a power within this person that made him slightly apprehensive.
"Sigh, it seems the difference between the Human and Blood Clans is vast. I am already a candle in the wind, soon to perish, but you remain in full form." Lv Chunyang lamented, "Back then, we fought once. Do you remember that young man who broke your fingers?"
"You are Lv Chunyang?"
Vlad III’s pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze turning crimson with monstrous rage, losing the previous elegance and composure.
"You are still alive!" Vlad III glared at Lv Chunyang with blood-red eyes, his voice full of terrifying murderous intent, causing the surrounding air to surge.
"A scourge lasts for a millennium." Lv Chunyang joked.
Yao Qiantu looked back and forth between Lv Chunyang and Vlad III, puzzled. What history did these two share?
It seemed Vlad III suffered a setback at Lv Chunyang’s hands back then.
"You are already so old, not enjoying retirement, but insisting on confronting me. Very well, I shall send you to your death." Vlad III coldly said.
"Even an old man about to enter the grave can exert a little warmth." Lv Chunyang chuckled.
"Humph!"
Vlad III snorted coldly, suddenly charging forward, throwing a punch aimed at Lv Chunyang’s head, "This time, I will make sure to kill you!"
"That’s not certain." Lv Chunyang laughed, then suddenly straightened his body like a towering mountain, his gaze turning icy.
"Perhaps it is you who will be killed!"
