168: Chapter 168 The Five Elders of Kunlun Mountain

Xiao Yuchen put away the two bottles of tears of light and left the hydropower station, embarking on his journey to find the flower once again.

If he could not find the bone-mending and tendon-melting flower on Earth, he might have no choice but to take the Azure Dragon's skeleton and head to the Cultivation World to see.

Over the past year, in order to find the bone-mending and tendon-melting flower, Xiao Yuchen had traveled to many places, primarily the medicinal herb markets in various major cities, followed by deep mountains and forests where no one entered, and cold, towering snow-capped mountains.

Besides these places, there were many hidden Sects in Great Xia, such as the Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, the Qingcheng Sword School, and even the more mysterious Kunlun Mountain and Penglai Immortal Island.

These hidden Sects had inherited a Legacy spanning thousands of years; they had always lived in seclusion in deep mountains and rarely interacted with the world, possessing deep foundations. Especially Kunlun Mountain and Penglai Immortal Island, which were said to be the places where Immortals resided.

As a Cultivator, Xiao Yuchen had a deeper understanding of Immortals; Immortals could not exist in lower planes and were likely just some high-level Cultivators.

If there were still Cultivators on Earth, Kunlun Mountain and Penglai Immortal Island were the most likely places, and Xiao Yuchen prepared to focus on visiting these two locations.

However, before Xiao Yuchen could take action, his phone rang; it was actually a call from Nangong Wentian.

"Senior Nangong, is something the matter?" Xiao Yuchen asked proactively.

"Xiao Chen, where are you? Something has happened here in Yanjing. Can you come to the Nangong Family once?" Nangong Wentian replied with some urgency.

"Alright, I will be there immediately."

Something that could make Nangong Wentian this urgent was definitely not a small matter, so Xiao Yuchen did not ask further and headed directly in the direction of the Nangong Family.

Nangong Family Council Hall.

Nangong Wentian sat in the primary seat, and sitting below were more than a dozen elderly men, all of whom were the heads of the various major families in Yanjing.

"Wentian, what exactly should be done about this matter? Those Kunlun Five Elders are truly too abominable; they actually killed over a dozen people from my Shangguan Family and looted all of my Shangguan Family's medicinal herbs. You must uphold justice for me."

An old man was weeping and complaining in front of Nangong Wentian. He was Shangguan Jun, the head of the Shangguan Family, one of the Four Great Families. The Shangguan Family was a Family of traditional Chinese medicine, with a century-old Legacy, and had always been in the medicinal herb business; almost 80% of the medicinal herbs in Yanjing were controlled by the Shangguan Family.

"It is not that I will not help you; I do not know where those five people emerged from. Their strength is far superior to mine, and I am no match for them."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Nangong Wentian was already the strongest person in Great Xia; how could there be someone stronger than him?

"Wentian, I admit that my Shangguan Family previously had some friction with your Nangong Family in business, but you are the Guardian of Great Xia. You cannot ignore this matter. As long as you help me retrieve the medicinal herbs, I will listen to everything you say in the future." Shangguan Jun clearly did not believe Nangong Wentian's words.

"Head of the Shangguan Family, what are you saying? Such a big thing has happened in Yanjing, how could I not care? It is just that I truly cannot beat those five people. If my guess is correct, they are likely old monsters who have lived for thousands of years."

"Lived for thousands of years? How is this possible?" Everyone was shocked; they did not understand why Nangong Wentian would say such a thing.

"It is true. I previously exchanged moves with one of them, and his strength is stronger than mine. Crucially, I could not feel any True Qi fluctuations on him. They are very likely Cultivators."

If it were before, Nangong Wentian would not have been able to distinguish this, but ever since he knew Xiao Yuchen was a Cultivator, he had a deeper understanding of Cultivators.

"The world says that Immortals reside on Kunlun Mountain. Could this be true? Why have we never seen them before? If they really are Cultivators, then won't my Shangguan Family's medicinal herbs be impossible to retrieve?"

Shangguan Jun collapsed onto his chair, his eyes full of despair. Those medicinal herbs were his Shangguan Family's inventory of several decades.

If they were robbed, his Shangguan Family would suffer a huge loss. Crucially, many medicinal herbs with long ages could not be bought just with money.

"That is not necessarily the case. I have already called the Great Xia Guardian to come, and he should arrive very soon."

"Is the Great Xia Guardian not you?"

Everyone was confused. Except for Zhuge Zhen, no one else present knew Xiao Yuchen's identity.

"It is the second Guardian of Great Xia. He is also a Cultivator. Once he arrives, the problem can be easily solved."

Although Nangong Wentian could not see the cultivation level of those five people, he knew their strength must not compare to Xiao Yuchen's. This was his intuition.

"The second Great Xia Guardian?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, Xiao Yuchen's figure suddenly appeared in the council hall. Such a bizarre scene caused everyone's pupils to constrict.

"Senior Nangong, what happened?"

Xiao Yuchen ignored the people present and looked directly at Nangong Wentian to ask.

"Xiao Chen, you are here. The situation is like this."

Nangong Wentian recounted the matter of the Kunlun Five Elders appearing in Yanjing and looting the Shangguan Family's medicinal herbs.

Hearing Nangong Wentian's words, Xiao Yuchen also frowned slightly. He did not expect that there were actually other Cultivators on this Earth.

"I was planning to explore Kunlun Mountain before, but I did not expect that people from Kunlun Mountain would actually come out. Do you know where they went?" Xiao Yuchen asked.

"It is unclear. They do not seem interested in money. After robbing the Shangguan Family's medicinal herbs, they left. Currently, there is no news of other families being robbed."

As a Cultivator, Xiao Yuchen naturally understood those people's thoughts. Money was of no use to them. The fact that they robbed the Spirit Medicine that the Shangguan Family had stored for decades indicated that perhaps someone among them could practice Alchemy.

"Alright, perhaps they have already returned. I will go to Kunlun Mountain to take a look."

Just as Xiao Yuchen was about to leave, Nangong Wentian's phone rang; it was the president of the Magic City Martial Arts Association calling.

After hanging up the phone, Nangong Wentian's expression was gloomy. He looked at Xiao Yuchen and said, "They are in Magic City. The medicinal herbs of the Li Family, one of the Four Great Families in Magic City, have also been robbed."

Hearing Nangong Wentian's words, Xiao Yuchen was slightly stunned. He was too familiar with this Li Family. Back then, Li Shenglong had brought people to cause trouble at the Chenxin Group, forcing him to perform Alchemy for the Four Great Families of Magic City.

In the end, Li Shenglong had his soul searched by him and became a fool, while his two attendants, Geng Junsheng and Geng Juncai, two Martial King experts, became his subordinates.

Afterwards, Li Zhengxiong brought the Sima Family, also one of the Four Great Families, to seek revenge, and was taught a lesson by him. This matter was eventually resolved by Nangong Wentian.

Seeming to see Xiao Yuchen's thoughts, Nangong Wentian quickly said, "Xiao Chen, the Li Family did the wrong thing before, and they have received the punishment they deserved. I hope you will not hold a grudge against them and will help them."

Hearing Nangong Wentian say this, Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "The former Li Family still had the qualifications to make me take action, but now there are truly not many people who can make me move. You all wait for my news."

His voice was still lingering in everyone's ears, but Xiao Yuchen's figure had already disappeared.

Magic City, Li Family.

At this moment, the Li Family was in a mess. Over a dozen people were lying on the ground, no longer breathing. Li Zhengxiong, the head of the Li Family, was kneeling tremblingly in front of two old men.

"Head of the Li Family, do not harbor any delusions that someone will come to save you. We have already robbed the Shangguan Family in Yanjing before. The Guardian of Great Xia has already been defeated by my hands; who else can save you?"
