The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 819 - 465: Saints of the Sun Kingdom

...

The voice was very familiar. It reminded him of his younger days as he turned around with a bright smile to see Rong Xing running towards him. Behind her were Deng Wu, Rong Ming, Gao Yan, and the Third Prince of the Sun Kingdom.

With open arms, he gave Rong Xing a warm hug, only to hear a loud complaint from Deng Wu, followed by the laughter of the other friends. It seemed natural, but although Yan Xiaobao was filled with happiness, at least he was not complacent. His spiritual energy spread throughout the room, allowing him to sense any movement in this innermost room.

While Yan Xiaobao was busy greeting his old friends, Xiao Ning and the other three suddenly became alert, repositioning themselves to encircle Yan Xiaobao. They did not allow anyone to even approach Yan Xiaobao. They did not wish anyone to interrupt their reunion.

"I’m glad to see you all well." Yan Xiaobao thought to himself as he observed all his friends, giving an approving nod to Deng Wu. It was evident that Deng Wu had to use Little Dragon’s power up to this point.

"We need to leave here now; we won’t find anything more here," Yan Xiaobao sighed as he released Rong Xing. Then, he gestured for the Saints to come closer, and they did so immediately. None of them asked a question. They just waited for Yan Xiaobao to introduce them.

"These are my new friends. All of them are Saints of the Sun Kingdom," Yan Xiaobao began, but he was interrupted by all the Saints bowing to the Third Prince. Although Xiao Ning seemed not too respectful, he still bowed in honor of the Prince. The other three Saints were very respectful, but even so, they returned behind Yan Xiaobao after bowing.

"My heavens, I didn’t expect to see you here," Yan Xiaobao nodded to the Third Prince. Although he currently resided in Muchuan City, he was not a true citizen of the Sun Kingdom. If there was anything, he belonged to the Divine Origin, and for this reason, Yan Xiaobao did not have to show the same respect towards the Prince.

"Now, we need to leave," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile on his face, but his spiritual energy was observing the many Saints beginning to move. Despite Yan Xiaobao’s strength, he did not believe he had the ability to protect his friends while defeating these Saints.

Xiao Ning was not slow, watching Yan Xiaobao, he understood something was wrong, thus, Wu Wei poured forth from him. It created a dome-like barrier around them, and only after his Radiant Aegis was completed could he relax.

The barrier was massive, as it needed to cover an astonishing ten cultivators. The amount of martial power consumed by this barrier was unimaginable, with red pills occasionally being stuffed into the mouth to maintain the fluctuating energy around them.

Leaving the room was not a difficult task. Although the Saints began to follow them, none wished to be the first to make a move. Instead, they all insisted on waiting for Xiao Ning to run out of energy, but even after a whole day of walking, the Energy Shield remained active.

They left the innermost room of the tomb and passed through the same tunnels they had come through. The place was familiar, and if they took other tunnels, they could move faster than they were capable of now.

Even so, they were still followed by Saints. Along the way, they encountered many top-tier core experts; some were there searching for treasure, while others just wanted to see the real tomb and claim they had reached the core.

Among the many experts, Xu Min could not recognize any one of them. "I had hoped to encounter Wang Julong or Sha Yun. Meeting someone like Ma Kong would also be fortunate," Yan Xiaobao mumbled, but Lan Feng quickly replied to him, ’No. Increasing the number of people you need to watch out for is not a good idea. Let’s break out from the tomb, divide the treasure, make sure the Saints realize they owe us one, and then dismiss the Third Prince.

Understanding Lan Feng’s words were correct, Yan Xiaobao could only sigh. He nodded before giving them instructions to stop. It was time for them to rest for the night and then proceed further through the tunnel. There was no reason to travel at night.

Once Yan Xiaobao’s team stopped among a large group of people a kilometer away, they would also stop and wait to see what would happen.

"The Saints will guard at night. Two Saints together, and we will switch three times. Since we do not have enough Saints, Deng Wu will guard with me," Yan Xiaobao said.

No one questioned his orders. Instead, they quickly gathered and prepared to rest. The lowest ranked individuals were King Ranking Experts, but they were all Upper Dantian experts. While they were now going to relax for the night, it was not because their bodies were exhausted or because they needed food; their bodies were sustained by the essence of heaven and earth upon reaching such a level.

Hui Yue thought the reason they needed rest was because he felt uncomfortable traveling through the tunnel at night. The light stones had dimmed, and they would dim further, potentially triggering traps they had previously managed to avoid.

The night posed no major issues; the worst was the group of Saints below gradually drawing closer during the night. By morning, the group of Saints was now only half a kilometer away.

Ignoring them, Yan Xiaobao broke camp and set out at dawn. Although he ignored these experts, his friends found it hard to remain carefree. This led to a tense atmosphere descending upon the group.
