Chapter 670: His Identity

Kanas hunting grounds.

After Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie Brothers arrived there with the remaining dozens of people from the Strange Doors, they secretly met with the owner of the hunting grounds, Gesangjor. After getting all the way there, Jin Sanchi had finally suppressed the poison in his body and it would no longer threaten his life. As for Jin Sijie, he had taken the Holy Healing medicine and, despite his injury having yet to fully heal, his life was no longer in danger.

“Two Seniors, you are…”

Gesangjor wore a strange expression. Especially when he saw the miserable appearance of Jin Sijie and the bloodstains all over his body. He was about to speak out his mind but hesitated and stopped after letting out some words.

“We are fine,” said Jin Sanchi indifferently. “The reason we came here is that there are some things we need to ask you. As far as I know, the son of Sect Master of the Serenity Sect was killed along with Elegant Chess Saintess’ disciple here. What I want to know is, who exactly is the person who killed them?”

Gesangjor stared blankly and was secretly worried about Tang Xiu. Though he did not have much friendship with Tang Xiu, he liked his character and felt that the young man was a very capable person, and yet he too knew how terrifying these two people were.

Nowadays, the number of cultivators in the entire Strange Doors were far too few, while two or three of them were also disciples of Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie. Therefore, their words were held in high esteem and held much weight in the Strange Doors, as they were also their biggest patron.

As a member of the Strange Doors himself, Gesangjor was someone who possessed authority over one of the parties under it. He naturally did not dare to hide anything and truthfully disclosed everything he knew about Tang Xiu. He then finally concluded, “What I know about him is only this much. But my old friend for many years, Jie Walie, might know more. I’ll go look for him if the two Seniors need to inquire more.”

“No, you don’t need to look for him.” Jin Sanchi waved his hand. “Knowing him as the young miracle-working doctor of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital in Shuangqing Province is a little clue in and of itself, and by following this clue, we can naturally find his real identity as well. Alright, we’ll be staying in your place to heal ourselves for a while. After the people from Strange Doors have left, you will be closing your hunting grounds for some time!”

“Junior will arrange everything as per your instructions,” said Gesangjor hastily.

After Gesangjor left the room, Jin Sanchi’s expression turned grim and gloomy. He did not speak for a long time and then said indifferently, “His identity as a Chinese medicine practitioner is definitely a disguise he intentionally uses to those in the outside to cover the real one. For him to be able to make Western Nefarious Sangha submit and become his Boss only means something: he’s not some a simple man! Furthermore, Gesangjor said that he brought eleven of his subordinates, and one of them killed the Justice Hall’s Master of the Serenity Sect. That kid had a fortuitous encounter and was a hair away from the final push to become a cultivator by virtue of his martial arts. For him to be killed by one of Tang Xiu’s men means that his subordinate is also a cultivator. Now, I’m suspecting that Tang Xiu is not only an itinerant cultivator but also someone from a large cultivation sect.”

Jin Sijie frowned, “Where would such a large cultivator sect exist in today’s society? We, Brothers, also know that the number of cultivators in entire China is probably not more than ten, right?”

“That is because we know nothing of the rest.” Jin Sanchi sneered and rebuked him. “There are more than a billion people in China, and Heavens knows how many cultivators and those who inherited Dao heritages are there. That Amur Tiger boy was buried in Beijing some time ago, and we don’t know who killed him. Do you think ordinary people can kill him?”

Jin Sijie’s expression moved and he immediately nodded without refuting it. “So, what do we do next? Tang Xiu is now occupying the Immortal Abode and its Immortal Trove and forced us to pay a heavy price. Don’t tell me we are just going to let it go like this?”

“… Let us wait and see first!”

Only then did Jin Sanchi replied helplessly after having been silent for a long time. “Western Nefarious Sangha occupied that Immortal Abode with Immortal Trove for so many years and yet he was still unable to open its entrance at all. Tang Xiu just learned about it, and he probably won’t be able to open its entrance either for the time being. The first thing we must do now is to treat our injuries and then find his real identity. We’ll scheme against him if he doesn’t have a formidable cultivator force behind him, but we have no other choice but to give this up if it is otherwise, and… we gotta try to be in good terms with him as much as possible.

“The Strange Door has suffered heavy losses. Should we give them some compensation?” Asked Jin Sijie.

“I thought about it on the way back and made up my mind. Those eight families and forces paid quite a disastrous price, thus they will be bitterly disappointed if we can’t pacify them, so let us just give them eight quotas!” Said Jin Sanchi. “And we should accept a few disciples.”

“But, the cultivation resources we have…”

Jin Sijie refuted quickly, but he could not finish his words as Jin Sanchi interrupted him with indifference, “I’m aware that cultivation resources we have now is scarce, so we cannot provide too many resources to foster disciples. But they are members of those eight families who want to train under us. Don’t tell me they don’t even have some resources? Those eight families must have amassed quite a lot of good things all these many years.”

“True that!” Jin Sijie nodded without refuting.

In the Immortal Abode, Longquan Bay.

Tang Xiu painstakingly studied the array of the Soul Tranquilizer Stone and solidified Dragon’s Eye on the ceiling of the cave, yet he could not find any clues whatsoever no matter how hard he tried. He even spent several days to refine a spirit tool and the spear to unleash a powerful might, yet he was still unable to destroy the array.

“No way to take it down, and neither can I destroy it.”
