Chapter 1484 1485: An Qi's Fury

This strategy did not succeed; he overestimated himself and underestimated Lin Yifan's abilities.

Lin Yifan was even more formidable than he imagined, seemingly capable of handling anything.

He feared that when they met again, he would no longer be a match for Lin Yifan, and by then, he would hold no threat.

Once he held no threat, Lin Yifan's Immortal Ring would not be his for the taking, as he had to give or refuse as he pleased. He had already seen through it, but there was no going back now.

"Sigh! This kid really knows how to manipulate people; I've been tricked by him."

With regret, he chose to head to the Desert Dynasty, perhaps only the Medicine Saint could give him a glimmer of hope to ascend to the Realm of Longevity.

Upon reaching the ruins of the Desert Dynasty, he found that they had also been occupied by various Sects.

These Sects wanted to break the array of the Desert Dynasty and seize the Immortal Ring within, but what they didn't know was that the Green Immortal Ring had already been taken by Lin Yifan.

However, he did not stop the actions of these Sects because he could use them to rescue the Medicine Saint.

...

Inside the Secret Realm of Beixuan Palace, after helping Xiaofang detoxify, Lin Yifan secluded himself for cultivation.

Although the Bloodsucking Sect and various Sects of the Central Plains Cultivation World had suffered mutual losses, he needed to increase his strength if he wanted to venture alone, snatch the Red Immortal Ring, and rescue Zhou Jiajia.

Because in this great battle, the Bloodsucking Sect had not used all their strength, there were likely many Sect Masters within their ranks.

The Sect Masters were old monsters of the True Master Fifth Realm, not easy to deal with, so he must enhance his strength.

Lin Yifan immersed himself in cultivation, refusing to see anyone who came to visit.

Meanwhile, far away at Cinnabar Palace, An Qi came out of her seclusion.

When she wanted to go to the Medicinal Saint Valley to share the good news with Lin Yifan, she was stopped by Xuji True Master.

She didn't understand why her Master was stopping her. Before, he was eager for her to meet Lin Yifan, but now he wouldn't allow it, leaving her wondering what had happened.

She sought answers from Xuji True Master, hoping for a satisfactory explanation.

To prevent affecting An Qi's cultivation, Xuji True Master deceived her, saying Lin Yifan and the Medicine Saint had gone on a mission and were not at the Medicinal Saint Valley.

An Qi felt her Master was hiding something from her and secretly probed her fellow disciples for information.

Cinnabar Palace had already ordered that the destruction of Medicinal Saint Valley not be revealed to the Junior Palace Master, under penalty of death, so no one dared to break the rule, leaving An Qi with nothing.

All the more she wanted to know the reason, thus choosing to go out to investigate, but was once more blocked by Xuji True Master.

This deepened her anxiety, prompting her to question Xuji True Master more aggressively.

Under An Qi's repeated threats, Xuji True Master finally spoke, revealing the harsh truth: "Medicinal Saint Valley has been destroyed; that boy is missing, so give up hope."

"Destroyed? How could this be? Wasn't it said that Medicinal Saint Valley was the most powerful Sect in the world? Weren't they supported by various Sects? Who could have destroyed it?" An Qi asked, as if struck by lightning, disoriented and panicked.

"It was both the strength and downfall of Medicinal Saint Valley. It was destroyed by the various Sects." Xuji True Master responded.

"Why did they do it?" An Qi pressed for the reason behind it.

"Because they wanted the Immortal Ring!"

"What is the Immortal Ring?"

Xuji True Master felt that An Qi's Realm wasn't low anymore and she had the right to know about the Immortal Ring, so he answered: "The Immortal Ring is a Divine Object, a key to opening the Gate of Longevity. Legend has it that collecting all seven Immortal Rings allows one to enter the Realm of Longevity and seek the Path of Longevity. Throughout history, countless cultivators have been driven mad by it, leading to the deaths of countless souls." Xuji True Master explained.

"Realm of Longevity? Is there really such a place?"

An Qi felt that all this was deceit because no one could withstand the ravages of time.

"It's a very ancient legend, and no one has seen it, so its existence is uncertain."

"Why do they still believe it so firmly?"

"For the cultivators on this planet, it's the only hope of surviving. When one's Realm can no longer break through and life fades away, they think of immortality, higher realms, and greater worlds." Xuji True Master replied.

"Is immortality really that great?"

"You don't understand because you still have room to improve, and you're still young. When you've lived for hundreds of years, you'll understand the reason." Xuji True Master said.

An Qi didn't know if her Master's words were true, but at this moment, she wanted answers, and thus she asked, "The various Sects want the Immortal Ring to enter the Realm of Longevity, but what does this have to do with Medicinal Saint Valley?"

"Silly disciple, there's a lot you don't know. Your little boyfriend, as if the son of the Immortal Ring, found several Immortal Rings in a short time. So which Sect wouldn't ask Medicinal Saint Valley for them?"

"Why didn't Yifan ever mention it?"

"He didn't say so to keep you out of this mess. After all, the consequences are already before you. For the Immortal Ring, the various Sects don't care about deep friendships with you."

"Isn't the Medicine Saint strong enough to safeguard Medicinal Saint Valley?" An Qi questioned.

"The Medicine Saint did not participate in this matter."

"Why?"

"Rumor has it he's in seclusion within the Desert Dynasty, but the truth is unclear."

"Desert Dynasty? What kind of place is that?"

"It's a place with a great history, said to have coexisted with the Moon Worship Sect, and its demise is also related to the Moon Worship Sect. The key issue is, within it lies something all the Sects desire—the Immortal Ring."

"You mean the Medicine Saint is searching for the Immortal Ring within the Desert Dynasty?"

"That could be his true purpose, and it's possible that the Immortal Rings your little boyfriend obtained are all with him."

"Then why don't the Sects just ask the Medicine Saint for them? Why destroy Medicinal Saint Valley?"

"Your naivety shows. What if it's all a blinding method, or a trick of the Medicine Saint? Additionally, not just anyone can enter the Desert Dynasty; it's protected by a Super Formation that the Sect Leaders can't break, so it's out of reach." Xuji True Master explained.

"But they shouldn't have destroyed Medicinal Saint Valley! Wouldn't it be better to hold some hostages?"

"To be precise, Medicinal Saint Valley wasn't destroyed by the Sects but by the Shadow Organization and the Western Bloodsucking Sect."

"Shadow Organization? Western Bloodsucking Sect?"

Hearing these two cultivation organizations' names struck a chord with An Qi, suddenly recalling the kidnapping of her elder sister Jiajia and younger sister Qingqing.

She deeply resented these foreign cultivation organizations, and she worked hard in her cultivation so that she could save Jiajia and Qingqing with Lin Yifan as soon as possible.
