Chapter 776 Sage, Lover! [1st Update]

Although at the beginning, the twenty-two sages were not familiar with each other.

But as long as you team up together to carry out missions to resist disasters, you're comrades who have risked their lives together.

However, a sudden holy war completely tore all the sages apart.

There is no trust between them anymore.

Apart from lovers like Sage Sun and Sage Moon, and sworn brothers like Sage Justice and Sage Power, no other sage chooses to team up with other sages to deal with disasters.

They were terrified of being stabbed in the back.

It was after this holy war that the Sage Lovers left the City of the World and never returned.

Sara wasn't sure why the Sage Lover had perished.

The Sage's Lover's special abilities are quite ordinary, nothing special.

Sara never took it to heart.

Even after all this time, she will never forget the horrors of the Holy War.

She absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen again!

Sara also knew that once the demon and the other three sages who had rebelled with him returned, it would be a catastrophe.

She has no divination abilities.

However, Sara speculates that there is an 80% chance that the great catastrophe in the future will be the second holy war.

Over the years, their abilities have been improving.

However, whether they can actually defeat the Sage Demon remains to be seen.

“Very well, my love.” Sara nodded slowly, her face icy cold. “Did you see who was guiding her?”

“I’m sorry,” the priestess sighed. “I’ve done my best to see that my lover is on her way home, but as for who is guiding her, I have no idea.”

Sha Luo's eyes instantly turned cold.

When it comes to divination, if Fortune is second to none, no one dares to claim first place.

Even this horoscope is a remnant of the Wheel of Fortune.

Otherwise, relying solely on the priestess's divination and fortune-telling abilities, it would have been impossible for her to foresee the affairs of any sage.

The wheel of fortune has been turned for over a dozen centuries, yet it seems no one has forgotten her.

It seems to have been engraved into every aspect of life, always there.

Sara slowly exhaled, her fingers gripping the scepter even tighter.

She truly couldn't understand why a wise person would befriend someone with such a cold and aloof personality, who kept everyone at arm's length by the wheel of fate.

"So, lovers, like chariots, will return from the seven continents and four oceans," Sara pondered. "Therefore, recently, anyone entering from outside the city, whether through the passage or by chance, must be checked one by one!"

The Sage Demon is difficult to deal with, but the Sage Lover is a piece of cake.

Once the identity is identified, the killer can be killed immediately.

The priestess nodded slightly, but hesitated for a moment: "Shaluo, but actually, we don't know the reason for the Holy War back then."

“He wants to destroy the entire City of the World and harm innocent residents. Whatever his reasons, it’s wrong.” Sara frowned almost imperceptibly. “Besides, he didn’t say anything.”

The priestess sighed softly and closed her eyes.

The next morning.

The Lengel family.

Suwen prepared some snacks, packed them for Ying Zijin, and personally saw her out.

The housekeeper has already transformed Bi'er's room into a beautiful little pigsty, just waiting to bring the young lady's pet back.

He also asked the chef to prepare exquisite pig feed.

Even if this little pig is fed until it grows to the size of an elephant, the family can still keep it.

The butler smiled kindly.

The butler didn't turn around until the girl got into the car and left.

"Madam, Third Master has been missing for a long time," he said in a low voice. "He's neither at the company nor at his private villa. Should we send someone to look for him?"

"Him?" Suwen thought for a moment. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as him. Let's go find him."

The butler responded and quickly arranged for a guard team.

Suwen didn't care much about Mo Qian.

A grown man, who is capable of taking care of himself, can just disappear into thin air?

If Ying Zijing hadn't warned her that there were hidden forces targeting the direct descendants of the Leinger family, Suwen wouldn't have bothered sending anyone to look for them.

After all, Mo Qian's talent was only average, and his enemies had no interest in attacking him.

Suwen packed her luggage and went to the villa where Norton was located, according to the address given by Ying Zijin.

Sinai was waiting at the door as soon as she woke up.

"Sister-in-law." She ran out when she saw Suwen.

Suwen took out the prepared snacks and handed them to Xinai.

He raised his head again, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Francis."

Norton glanced at Sinai, who was happily opening the box, clicked his tongue, and then nodded politely to Suwen: "Madam."

Suwen was flattered and overwhelmed by the honor.

She knew that Ying Zijing's friends were all extraordinary.

The man's appearance and demeanor clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person.

However, Suwen did not consider the possibility of a sage.

After finishing a pastry, Sinai confidently declared, "I'm sleeping with my sister-in-law tonight, so you can't come into my room!"

She can finally stop being bullied.

"Suit yourself." Norton crossed his arms and smiled. "Then you'd better expect someone to cover you up when you kick off the covers."

Sinai: "..."

This person is so annoying.

Once she recovers, she must not say another word to him.

**

This way.

Five hours later, Ying Zijing arrived in the capital.

She first sent Wu Yue back to the Fifth Family Ancestral Home before going to the Ancient Martial Arts World with Fu Yunshen.

Ying Zijin left for three months.

Three months is but a fleeting moment for ancient martial arts practitioners whose lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary people.

But the changes during this period were earth-shattering.

They remain the three top ancient martial arts families.

After the Xie family fell, the Ling family quickly rose to become the third most powerful family.

Furthermore, due to its deep cooperation with the ancient medical community, it has even begun to show signs of surpassing the Lin family.

The Lin family was extremely uneasy.

However, because of Feng Xiu's appearance, many people in the Lin family were afraid, including the Lin family's ancestor, Lin Wuliang.

Fearing they might follow in the footsteps of the Xie family, the Lin family has been working diligently these past few days.

But some people don't think that way.

"We can't tolerate this any longer! We must curb the Ling family's growth as soon as possible!" An old man suddenly stood up. "Otherwise, if they trample on my Lin family, will my Lin family still have a place in the ancient martial arts world?"

Although the Yue family keeps a low profile, their fighting prowess is off the charts.

What gives the Ling family the right to do this?

Without the support of the ancient medical practitioners, the Ling family wouldn't even have made it into the top ten, let alone surpass the Xie family's position.

"Ancestor, there's nothing we can do." The middle-aged man beside him smiled bitterly. "Ancestor Feng Xiu is in charge of the Judicial Hall. How could we possibly take action against the Ling family?"

“Feng Xiu won’t live much longer,” the old man said again. “Even he himself said that five hundred years is the limit of human lifespan, and he doesn’t have many years left.”

"Moreover, he doesn't have the energy to deal with the struggles between powerful families."

“Even if Feng Xiu doesn’t have much time left to live,” the middle-aged man hesitated, “that Miss Ying is Feng Xiu’s master, she—”

The fact that Ying Zijing is the master of Feng Xiu and Fu Xi has spread throughout the entire ancient martial arts and ancient medicine world.

No one dares to be disrespectful.

Even now, many martial arts practitioners don't know what happened to Ying Zijin that made her so young.

“If she were really more powerful than Feng Xiu, she wouldn’t have needed Feng Xiu to save her in the first place. Wouldn’t she have been able to kill Xie Huanran on her own?” The old man interrupted him. “Besides, she has already left the ancient martial arts world and won’t be back for several years, nor will Shadow Seat.”

"I'll go to the Ling family myself and test the waters first."

His ancient martial arts skills are second only to the Lin family for over three hundred years; even the Ling family's ancestor is far inferior to him.

If Fu Yunshen and Ying Zijin hadn't been absent, he really wouldn't have dared to entertain such thoughts.

The old man acted immediately, setting off for the city where the Ling family was located.

The Ling family's rapid rise to prominence can be attributed not only to its abundant ancient medical resources, but also to the family's perks that attracted other martial arts practitioners.

These ancient martial arts practitioners all chose to join the Ling family and became their retainers.

The old man glanced around and immediately spotted a direct descendant of the Ling family.

This close associate is not famous and has only average talent.

The old man naturally dared not make a move against Ling Mianxi and Jiang Ran.

But others don't need to care so much.

Kill one first!

A murderous glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he unleashed all his inner strength, heading straight for that direct descendant.

The wind howled, like thunder in the ears.

Screams and gasps rang out from the street.

"ah--!"

"careful!"

Even God can't save them.

The old man sneered and intensified his attack.

However, the wind suddenly stopped the next second.

"Buzz!"

A hand appeared in front of the old man.

This hand, using only one finger, easily blocked all his attacks.
