The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Arrival of the Shadow Guards

Ye Lianyi, the great beauty, revealed her true face, which delighted Liu Zixuan.

Of course, the excitement and affection between them also caused them to get out of bed tiredly on the next day, long after the sun had risen high.

Hearing Xiaoxiao’s voice knocking on the door outside, Ye Lianyi gave Liu Zixuan a resentful look: "I really wish those from Lingxiu Village would come too."

Liu Zixuan smirked: "Don’t worry, there will be a day when someone helps you share the burden."

After getting dressed, Liu Zixuan went into the bathroom to wash up, while Ye Lianyi got up to open the door.

Seeing her full of sleepiness, the inexperienced Xiaoxiao asked blankly: "Didn’t you go to bed very early yesterday?"

Ye Lianyi blushed slightly and said awkwardly: "Maybe I’m not used to just coming out of the Hidden Sect, didn’t sleep well. What do you need me for so early?"

"Last night, I went back to regulate my meridians, and this morning I felt a vague sign of breakthrough. I haven’t truly stepped into the Emperor Realm, so I wanted to ask you if there’s anything I need to pay attention to. I heard from my parents that there’s a significant change in the body when breaking through to the Emperor Realm."

Ye Lianyi rubbed her forehead, knowing that explaining this issue would take some time. But inviting Xiaoxiao into the room when Liu Zixuan would come out soon would be very awkward, wouldn’t it?

After thinking for a bit, she smiled and said: "How about this, let’s go out and talk over breakfast."

"Sure, I’m hungry too," Xiaoxiao said without noticing anything, directly linking arms with Ye Lianyi and walking outside.

Not long after, Liu Zixuan came out of the bathroom with his phone, wrapped in a bathrobe: "You mean besides the Ancestral Dragon Vein land I’ve been to, there are only seven left that can be found now?"

Gu Yu on the other end said: "That number isn’t fixed yet. After all, Young Master Six and Madman Zhou are from the Six Gates, and they are more familiar with these things. The mountains and rivers may seem unchanged, but they’ve long shifted with the earth’s crust changes."

"The Ancestral Dragon Vein you’ve been to was easy to find because it was the last dragon vein abandoned in the last century. The further back you go, the harder they are to find, and the less effective they become. For the seven I’ve mentioned, only two have specific locations pinpointed, and the others remain under investigation."

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes: "Two is better than none. Where are they located?"

"The one closest to you is near the Jade Maiden Sect, just as Tongtong’s master told us. The other is in the Northwest Wilderness, a pretty hidden location. I’ll send you the exact coordinates later."

"Alright then, send it over later."

"By the way, Brother Xuan, there’s not-so-good news about the second dragon vein," Gu Yu hurriedly said.

"What?"

"We’ve found that Venerable Ghost Nether appeared in the Northwest Wilderness a day ago," Gu Yu said in a low voice.

Liu Zixuan smirked: "Damn, what’s that old snake doing traveling so far?"

"Unclear, the intel from their side is limited, so just be cautious," Gu Yu paused and added: "The Celestial Dao Alliance has been very quiet lately, always feels like they’re up to no good!"

"Within a week, I’m not worried; even if they act, it’ll just be a tentative move. They wouldn’t dare come easily," Liu Zixuan laughed: "Are there any leads on the person who’s helping me in secret?"

"After expanding the search range, we caught a bit of information—don’t know if it’s useful. I’ll have Cheng Feng send it over for you to see," Gu Yu said.

Just as Gu Yu hung up the phone, it buzzed again, with a photo sent by Mo Chengfeng.

The photo was blurry, faintly showing two backs. To the left of a big tree stood an elder, hunched over, beside a graceful silhouette. Although blurry and hard to discern that it’s a girl, it gave Liu Zixuan a very familiar feeling.

"Who... is this?" Liu Zixuan murmured, scratching his head.

"Master Xuan, Master Xuan!"

Just as he was lost in thought, a loud voice came from outside.

Frowning, Liu Zixuan put away his phone and opened the door to step outside.

Little Bin directly walked over with a big smile and handed Liu Zixuan a cigarette.

"No need for flattery. Where is it?" Liu Zixuan took the cigarette, lighting it, and asked.

"In the backyard, take a look and you’ll know!" Little Bin said with a mysterious smile.

Following him downstairs, Liu Zixuan entered the backyard of The City Impressions through the back door, and was immediately hit by a powerful aura.

Of course, this power wasn’t in terms of realm, but in terms of momentum.

Raising his head, more than twenty stalwart men stood in two rows, all looking uniformly at Liu Zixuan.

After scanning them and recognizing their realms, Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched several times.

Damn, no wonder Little Bin was boasting over the phone yesterday. A few months ago, they were all martial artists below the Imperial Realm, and now these Shadow Guards are already above the Imperial Realm Middle Stage, with five or six reaching Half-Step Emperor Realm!

Although few in number, this is definitely not a team to be underestimated!

"Master Xuan, are you surprised?" Little Bin leaned over, laughing smugly.

Liu Zixuan glanced at him; "It’s alright, still kinda short of my expectations!"

Hearing this, Little Bin pouted and murmured softly: "Clearly surprised, yet acting so calm."

"What did you say?" Liu Zixuan turned his head and asked.

"N... nothing, I just said we must continue to make progress!" Little Bin laughed continuously.

Liu Zixuan looked at the twenty-plus martial artists, "None of you have forgotten me, right?"

"Shadow Guards have only one master, and that’s you, Master Xuan, we dare not forget!"

The more than twenty men spoke in unison, as if prepared in advance.

Liu Zixuan smiled slightly, showing that Little Bin’s training during this period was quite effective.

"Since we know each other, I’ll be direct. The direct confrontation with the Celestial Dao Alliance is about to begin. What is the Celestial Dao Alliance? It’s the strongest force in the Martial Realm. But to me, it’s the biggest piece of meat to be had."

Liu Zixuan laughed: "My character is to share blessings, so those of you who want to drink and eat meat with me, perk up!"

"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison, loud and full of momentum.

Liu Zixuan nodded with satisfaction: "Little Bin, take everyone to have some food and rest, later I have tasks for you!"

"Got it." Little Bin grinned, leading the crowd away.

Awakened by the deafening noise, Zhao Yi, Tiger, and Jiang Yunxuan came out. Watching the Shadow Guards leave, they each showed a look of shock: "I didn’t expect that after parting ways in Qian Nan, the Shadow Guards have grown so strong!"
