CHAPTER 1064: CHAPTER 1064: A DISPLAY OF AUTHORITY

The towering mountains in the southwest stand majestically on the earth, piercing the clouds, and are awe-inspiring.

Nestled within these mountains is the martial arts sanctuary, Medicine King Valley, with a history spanning hundreds of years.

Despite being subjected to various infuriating treatments, Long Qie has remained here for several days, seeking medicine for Titan.

However, due to interference from Wang Li and Wang Chongyang, he has yet to achieve his goal.

In the guest room, Long Qie’s eyes reveal a deep sense of frustration, as he has tried many methods, such as bypassing Wang Chongyang and asking other True Disciples of Medicine King Valley for help or offering generous conditions in exchange.

He even expressed willingness to become a sparring partner for a True Disciple.

But all to no avail. In Medicine King Valley, most people superficially treat him with basic courtesy, but essentially, they maintain a significant distance.

Within that distance, there’s even a hint of disgust.

After all, Long Qie is an outsider, whereas Medicine King Valley, as a martial arts sanctuary, has remained secluded in these deep mountains, exceedingly proud, considering themselves superior. Ordinary people are generally not in their eyes unless they belong to other martial arts sanctuaries.

"Hmph, if it’s really impossible, then I’ll have to resort to force!" A cold light flickers in Long Qie’s eyes, causing unease.

He is a Grandmaster.

Even within a martial arts sanctuary, a Great Grandmaster is considered a top-tier master, and even some elders probably haven’t reached this level.

For instance, the former Hua Mountain Sect Master, Hua Muyang, was only at the Early Stage Grandmaster. In terms of combat prowess, he cannot compare to Long Qie now.

In Medicine King Valley, though there are outstanding masters, it’s absolutely impossible to easily suppress Long Qie.

With this thought, Long Qie closes his eyes, recalling the terrain of Medicine King Valley he memorized over the past few days.

Based on his inquiries, the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus and many other precious divine medicines are stored in a heavily guarded place within Medicine King Valley, the Medicine Pavilion!

It goes to show that this is the essential area of Medicine King Valley.

But there’s one thing!

The defenses there, although tight, are not very difficult to infiltrate.

Medicine King Valley, having been secluded in these deep forests for so many years, rarely has anyone come here.

Even if someone does come, how could they possibly have the audacity to provoke a martial arts sanctuary and attempt to steal precious medicines?

For decades, even centuries, the Medicine Pavilion has never experienced theft.

Therefore, Long Qie observed and found that despite the seemingly tight defenses, they are indeed quite empty, with a sudden strike possibly succeeding.

"Hopefully, I won’t be pushed to take that step," Long Qie sighs inwardly.

The martial arts sanctuary is vast, and despite Sky Net’s tremendously burgeoning strength, provoking such a powerful entity would not end well.

Unless absolutely necessary, Long Qie would never take this step.

"Now, better to go see Wang Zhong. Hopefully, I can resolve the conflict with him."

Long Qie thinks to himself, stands up, opens the door, and walks out, heading towards Wang Zhong’s residence expertly without needing any guidance.

Although Wang Zhong repeatedly provoked him here, Long Qie is already very angry, but for Titan’s sake, he can only endure it.

He not only has to endure but continue to swallow his pride, attempting to mediate and alleviate relations even after being repeatedly humiliated by Wang Zhong.

Being a wise man himself, Long Qie naturally understands Wang Zhong’s type is one who takes advantage of every inch, and lowering his stance might only gratify the other, leading him to do even more excessive deeds.

Still, there’s no choice.

Wang Zhong is the sole breakthrough point.

Arriving at Wang Zhong’s residence, Long Qie finds Wang Zhong unexpectedly absent. Upon asking a servant there, he learns Wang Zhong went to seek guidance from his father, Wang Chongyang, in the area where he first met Wang Chongyang.

Turns out Wang Chongyang is very diplomatic in Medicine King Valley, adept at balancing various relationships, responsible for meeting external guests, residing there.

Long Qie nods and heads to the guest reception room, thinking it’d be good if he could meet Wang Chongyang.

Perhaps Wang Chongyang, being older, would be more reasonable and thus easier to speak to.

At the guest reception room, Long Qie asks the disciple at the door to report his presence.

The disciple nods and goes inside, soon returning to say, "Mr. Long, currently Senior Uncle Wang is in the backyard, instructing Senior Brother Wang in martial arts. They’re rather busy now, but Senior Uncle Wang says if you don’t mind, feel free to greet him in the backyard."

Clearly, Senior Uncle Wang refers to Wang Chongyang.

Senior Brother Wang pertains to Wang Zhong.

On hearing this, Long Qie immediately furrows his brows slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.

These two, Wang Chongyang and his son, are practicing martial arts in the backyard yet call him in as if summoning a servant, a deeply arrogant and impolite gesture.

However, desperate times call for desperate measures, Long Qie helplessly lowers his head while under someone else’s roof.

The disciple leads Long Qie into the backyard before taking his leave.

Long Qie stands there, looking towards the father-son duo in the yard.

The two are sparring!

Wang Chongyang is already a mid-stage Innate expert, while Wang Zhong, though young, has reached the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

Both exhibiting Medicine King Valley’s martial arts, their exchanges transform them into mere phantoms, fiercely battling each other.

Bam!

Suddenly, Wang Chongyang forms a fist seal, tearing through the void, promptly breaking Wang Zhong’s defense, slamming onto his shoulder with a muffled sound.

Wang Zhong quickly steps back, stabilizing his stance before saying to Wang Chongyang, "Father, you’re indeed formidable; I still can’t beat you."

Wang Chongyang laughs, "Hahaha, Zhong’er, you’ve done well. If not for my Gang Qi having the advantage, I might not have been able to defeat you. In terms of the intricacy of moves, you’ve surpassed me."

Speaking here, the two seem to completely ignore Long Qie’s presence.

Understanding this father-son duo’s intention to belittle him, Long Qie merely stands his ground calmly.

After another exchange, Wang Chongyang then has an epiphany-like realization and looks towards Long Qie.

"Oh dear, we got too engrossed and didn’t notice Brother Long’s arrival, terribly sorry, hahaha, hahaha."
