Chapter 1669 - 669: An Shiping's Successor?

Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu exchanged glances, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.In this room, they found the presence of Hui Meng Lan again, something neither of them had anticipated. Could it be that there was a third person in the world who knew how to use Hui Meng Lan? But how could that be possible? Divine Doctor An Shiping had only taught this Hui Meng Lan to the two of them.

In fact, they were unaware that apart from his two disciples, Divine Doctor An Shiping had other descendants. An Hongyuan was one of Divine Doctor An Shiping's descendants, and although the Divine Doctor had hidden them for their protection, it was not difficult for them, being his descendants, to learn the Hui Meng Lan.

Moreover, for An Hongyuan to work here for Divine Doctor An Shiping without some special skills, it wouldn't be feasible. The Hui Meng Lan was a method taught to An Hongyuan by Divine Doctor An Shiping, and Xiao Hua'er and her companions were naturally taken away by An Hongyuan. All of this was part of a scheme set up by Divine Doctor An Shiping. An Hongyuan's mother and Little Duoduo were also revived by the medicine passed down by Divine Doctor An Shiping, and the family had completely left An Family Village, living in seclusion as per An Shiping's wishes.

"Only the two of you know how to use Hui Meng Lan, so why is Hui Meng Lan appearing here?" Ye Qing asked Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu in a low voice. "Did you make a mistake? Is this really Hui Meng Lan?"

Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. Bai Li Xi said in a serious tone, "We absolutely can't be wrong. Hui Meng Lan is Master's unique formula, and the scent is incredibly distinctive; there's no mistaking it."

"Then why is Hui Meng Lan appearing here?" Ding Lianshun couldn't help but ask.

"This..." Bai Li Xi scratched his head, unable to explain the situation either.

"Could it be that Divine Doctor An Shiping had other successors?" Huangfu Ziyu suddenly asked.

"Impossible!" they both shook their heads at the same time. Ning Qianshu said in a serious tone, "From start to finish, our master had only us as his disciples; there were no other successors. This..."

"That's not right." Ning Qianshu's sentence was cut off as Bai Li Xi seemed to suddenly remember something and interrupted him. "Master had one other successor."

"Another successor?" Everyone looked at Bai Li Xi simultaneously, and Ning Qianshu's eyes widened as he said, "When did he have another successor? How come I wasn't aware?"

Bai Li Xi looked around at everyone and said leisurely, "This is something everyone knows. Think about it, why did Medicine King Mountain open this time?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially stunned, and then quickly caught on.

"You're talking about..." Ye Qing looked at Bai Li Xi and said, "The person who received Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy?"

"Exactly!" Bai Li Xi nodded and said, "The opening of Medicine King Mountain this time was for Master to find a successor to inherit his legacy. Master said that once all eight Divine Doctor's Orders are placed on that Stone Platform, his legacy will appear and be passed on to a fated person. Although we didn't obtain it, surely someone else did. The one who acquired Master's legacy would surely know how to use Hui Meng Lan!"

Everyone exchanged looks, and Ning Qianshu was silent for a while before saying, "In that case, it's possible. But who exactly inherited Master's legacy? Also, from the time we gathered all eight Divine Doctor's Orders until now, it hasn't been long. Even if Master's legacy appeared and someone received it, could they have fully inherited his legacy in such a short time?"

"Why couldn't they?" Bai Li Xi said, "Master's abilities are extraordinary. For him, this is surely not a difficult task. I suspect our Junior Brother has already left Medicine King Mountain by now!"

Ning Qianshu frowned; this was not good news for him. After all, he had always coveted the legacy left by Divine Doctor An Shiping. Knowing that someone else had received it, how could he not be upset?

"Since he is the successor of Divine Doctor An Shiping, why did he take Xiao Hua'er and her family of three?" Ye Qing wondered. "What's more, An Hongyuan's mother and Little Duoduo were already dead; why take their bodies?"

Bai Li Xi said, "If he truly is Master's successor, I think it's likely he intended to save this family of three."

"Rescue?" Ye Qing exclaimed in surprise, "How are we supposed to rescue them? They're already gone, what method can save them?"

"My Master's skill is beyond your conjecture!" Bai Li Xi said proudly, "If someone has been dead for no more than three days, they are in a state of false death and there's still a chance to bring them back to life. However, only my Master knows this method. Both Old Ghost Ning and I are too dull to learn this resurrection skill from him. But in the legacy my Master left behind, there is definitely a method to resurrect the dead. It wouldn't be surprising if this Junior Brother really learned it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing was both startled and a bit relieved. If it truly was the heir of Divine Doctor An Shiping who took Xiao Hua'er and the others, it would be the best scenario for reviving them. Truth be told, the death of An Hongyuan's mother and Little Duoduo was truly hard to accept. If these two could be saved, it would be the best outcome.

With this explanation, Ye Qing and the others didn't pursue the matter further. They didn't stay long in An Family Village before heading straight to the city, taking a flight back to Shenchuan City overnight.

Of course, Ning Qianshu didn't return to Shenchuan City with the group. Instead, he stayed behind, clearly wanting to wander around Medicine King Mountain, still hoping to find an opportunity. He was not willing to give up on the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping.

Ye Qing originally intended to stop him, but was prevented by Bai Li Xi. Bai Li Xi's reasoning was simple; both he and Ning Qianshu had no chance, unable to obtain the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping. So, even if Ning Qianshu stayed here, the result would be the same. He would still fail to acquire the Divine Doctor's legacy.

Ye Qing was primarily concerned about Ning Qianshu acquiring the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping. But with Bai Li Xi's words, Ye Qing didn't object to Ning Qianshu remaining. No matter what Ning Qianshu attempted there, it would ultimately be futile, and Ye Qing didn't need to worry.

Leaving Ning Qianshu and the others behind, the remaining group returning to Shenchuan City wasn't large, but they were all strong. Especially Shen Tianjun and the masked elder; Shen Tianjun was already a standout among the Five Uniques, and the masked elder's strength was on par with Shen Tianjun's, making them a powerful force. In Shenchuan City, there were also the Great General Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk, both of whom were top-notch masters.

Typically, elite masters are hard to gather in one place, but this time, to counter the Corpse Ghost Dragon, they had no other choice. All these masterful figures converged in Shenchuan City, even the usually solitary Bloody Monk assembled with the others, all arriving at Helian Tiehua's manor.

With several masterful figures gathered, they first listened to Ye Qing and the others recount what happened after visiting Medicine King Mountain. Both Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk were astonished to hear. They hadn't expected so many rare herbs in Medicine King Mountain, and the Mountain-sealing Array of Medicine King Mountain was unexpectedly powerful.

After hearing Ye Qing's account of Medicine King Mountain, Ao Wuchang couldn't help but sigh, "Regardless of whether we can get the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping, just acquiring Medicine King Mountain itself would be a huge fortune!"

"There's no need to think about these things right now," Bai Li Xi said, "Whoever can obtain the Master's legacy will get the whole Medicine King Mountain. The eight Divine Doctor's Orders are all in the hands of this Junior Brother. Unless he distributes the orders, outsiders have no way to enter Medicine King Mountain!"

"Who is the heir of Divine Doctor An Shiping?" Helian Tiehua pondered this question. He knew very well that whoever obtained the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping would possess immeasurable power. At the very least, they would be an individual comparable to a top-notch master!

Bai Li Xi shrugged and said, "We also don't know who this heir is. I'm even more curious than you. But the Master's heir should have already descended the mountain. We just need to wait some time, then it will probably become clear who acquired the Master's legacy!"

Just as everyone was discussing who obtained the legacy of Divine Doctor An Shiping, the always silent Bloody Monk suddenly asked, "What about the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"

The Bloody Monk didn't care who inherited An Shiping's legacy; he was more concerned about the Corpse Ghost Dragon. After all, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was the only threat to him. If the Corpse Ghost Dragon came to Shenchuan City, his Sha Men might also face disaster. This was why he joined the others to discuss handling the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

"He should still be inside Medicine King Mountain and hasn't come out yet. The Master's Mountain-sealing Array is extremely powerful. No matter how strong you are, it's hard to get out once you're in," Bai Li Xi said, "Even if he manages to get out, it would take at least three to five days."

"Three to five days, but he will eventually come to Shenchuan City!" the Bloody Monk said sternly, "Does anyone have a method to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one could answer this question. The power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon was too overwhelming, far surpassing elite masters; elite masters had no chance against him. Although there were many elite masters here, when it actually came to battling the Corpse Ghost Dragon, they knew they had no real chance of victory.

"To deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, going head-to-head is definitely not possible. The Corpse Ghost Dragon's power is too formidable; we simply can't compete with him," Bai Li Xi scratched his head and said, "I think we must come up with a foolproof plan to confront the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Otherwise, despite our numbers, when the Corpse Ghost Dragon arrives in Shenchuan City, we'll still be no match for him!"
