Chapter 1660 - 1660: We Must Leave the Mountain (Fourth Update)

At this moment on Medicine King Mountain, Ye Qing's group and Ning Qianshu's group were locked in a chaotic battle.Ning Qianshu wanted to find the person who received the inheritance, kill them, and claim the inheritance for himself. However, after running around the mountain for a long time, he didn't find anyone and was instead blocked by a masked elder, unable to get past him.

As for Ding Lianshun on the mountain, he was intercepted by Shen Tianjun. The two were locked in a continuous struggle, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

In fact, Shen Tianjun's strength was definitely above that of Ding Lianshun. But Shen Tianjun had been injured by the Corpse Ghost Dragon earlier, and although he had recovered his Inner Strength, the injury had lasted long enough that he couldn't fully exert his strength at this moment. Ding Lianshun, having learned Carefree Movement, had excellent qinggong, making it not so easy for Shen Tianjun to defeat him in a prolonged fight.

As everyone was embroiled in their battles, suddenly Bai Li Xi's voice shouted from the mountaintop, "Hey, stop fighting, everyone! Stop fighting and get up here quickly!"

Upon hearing this voice, Ning Qianshu immediately retreated a few steps, dispersing a cloud of Poison Powder to block the masked elder, then turned his head towards the mountaintop and said in a deep voice, "Has Master's inheritance appeared?"

The masked elder also turned to look, equally astonished. A moment later, both of them rushed towards the mountaintop, abandoning their previous confrontation.

Ye Qing had come down with the masked elder, but he couldn't keep up with the elder and Ning Qianshu and had long since been separated from them. When he heard the voice from the mountaintop, he was surprised. Earlier, when he shouted for Lin Tianyou loudly from the mountaintop, Lin Tianyou couldn't hear him. Yet now, even though he stood farther from the mountaintop than Lin Tianyou had been earlier, he could hear Bai Li Xi's voice. How strange!

Without hesitation, driven by curiosity, Ye Qing turned around and headed for the mountaintop.

As soon as he reached the top, Ye Qing saw Bai Li Xi standing on the Stone Platform. He was in an extremely peculiar posture, with his arms and legs spread wide, covering the eight Divine Doctor's Order positions on the Stone Platform. He looked like a big mouse sprawled on the platform.

Next to Bai Li Xi, Shen Tianjun and Ding Lianshun had also stopped fighting. Both stood at the edge of the mountaintop, looking nervously down the mountain, not knowing what they were observing.

"What's going on?" As soon as Ye Qing arrived, he asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Ah, thank goodness you're finally here!" Seeing Ye Qing, Bai Li Xi let out a long breath, jumped down from the Stone Platform, and said, "Getting you all back here wasn't easy. I've been sprawled like this on the Stone Platform for ages."

"By the way, how could you project your voice that far?" Ye Qing asked, astonished.

"Well, it's thanks to this Stone Platform!" Bai Li Xi replied, "This platform was left by my Master and has a special function. As long as you touch the eight positions on it, your voice can travel to every corner of Medicine King Mountain!"

"I see," Ye Qing said, suddenly angry. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? If you'd said so, I could have saved Brother Lin earlier!"

"You can't blame me for that. To use the Stone Platform, you first have to place all eight Divine Doctor's Orders on it. Only then can it be activated," Bai Li Xi explained. "Earlier, without all eight Orders, lying on the platform wouldn't have made a difference."

"Really?" Ye Qing frowned, feeling that Bai Li Xi might be a bit unreliable.

"Are you questioning my credibility?" Bai Li Xi pouted and said, "Alright, enough with the nonsense, come here quickly, I have something important to show you."

"What's up?" Ye Qing followed Bai Li Xi to the edge of the mountaintop, looking in the direction Bai Li Xi indicated. At the foot of the mountain, Huangfu Ziyu and others were standing in the great formation. They'd been there for quite some time and seemed a bit anxious by now, not knowing what was happening on Medicine King Mountain.

"Did you see it?" Bai Li Xi asked beside him.

"Yeah, I see it, so what?" Ye Qing asked in confusion.

"See what?" Bai Li Xi exclaimed, "What did you see?"

Ye Qing replied, "Isn't it just Zi Yu and the others? What's the matter?"

"Damn, who told you to look at your wife!" Bai Li Xi glared at Ye Qing and said, "I meant over there!"

Bai Li Xi pointed, and Ye Qing looked carefully. Bai Li Xi pointed towards a medicinal field, a place Ye Qing had passed earlier without noticing anything special. However, after watching closely for a while, Ye Qing suddenly realized something was off. A patch of grass in the field was moving, as if something was passing through it.

"What's going on?" Ye Qing couldn't help but be taken aback; could there still be something alive on this mountain?

"Look carefully!" Bai Li Xi said in a deep voice.

Ye Qing took another look, and finally, the shaking reached the end of the medicine field. Under Ye Qing's gaze, a massive snakehead actually emerged from the grass!

"Ah!?" Ye Qing exclaimed in shock, his face changed instantly, and he angrily said, "Beast, you finally came out again, I've been looking for you!"

As Ye Qing spoke, he turned to head down the mountain, but was grabbed by Bai Li Xi.

"What are you doing?" Bai Li Xi asked urgently.

"Going down to kill it!" Ye Qing said angrily, "It swallowed Brother Lin, no matter what, I have to bring Brother Lin's body back!"

"Stop the damn nonsense!" Bai Li Xi said, "You're going to fight the snake? Do you think you're a match for it? I didn't bring you here to seek revenge on it, look carefully at what's happening now!"

Ye Qing turned again to look at the python, staring at it for a while, still puzzled as to what Bai Li Xi meant. However, when he looked up, his eyes unintentionally swept toward Huangfu Ziyu and others trapped in the great formation, and he was first stunned, then his face changed dramatically.

"This... this python..." Ye Qing turned to Bai Li Xi urgently, "Is it going toward Zi Yu and the others?"

"That's the most troublesome part!" Bai Li Xi said urgently, "Since it appeared, it's been moving towards Huangfu Ziyu and the others, its target is clear. Apparently, it's heading straight for those people!"

"This beast, it's already swallowed two people, yet it wants to harm more?" Ye Qing was furious, "No way, I need to get down there quickly and rescue Zi Yu and the others!"

"Are you insane?" Bai Li Xi said, "Can you even accomplish anything by going down there? Huangfu Ziyu and the others are trapped inside the Mountain-sealing Array, if you go down like that, you will also be trapped in the Mountain-sealing Array. At that point, don't even think about rescuing them, finding them will be a problem in itself!"

"Ah?" Ye Qing couldn't help but be taken aback, "Wasn't Ning Qianshu able to go in earlier? Didn't he also not get lost?"

"Can those be the same?" Bai Li Xi said, "He had the Divine Doctor's Order to get in, and Liu Ruxiang also had the Divine Doctor's Order, so of course they could get out. But right now, we don't have the Divine Doctor's Order; if you go in, don't think you will make it out!"

At that point, Bai Li Xi paused, pointed in another direction, and said in a deep voice, "Also, look at who that person is!"

Ye Qing followed Bai Li Xi's direction and saw dozens of people wandering inside the mountain's formation. These were the people Luan Ping had just sent in. Among them was the Corpse Ghost Dragon, who had followed in, thinking he could easily break the great formation, but found it far more complex than expected, and he was trapped and wandering within.

"Corpse Ghost Dragon!" Ye Qing's face changed, gritting his teeth, "That old monster finally came!"

"He's been here for a while!" Bai Li Xi said solemnly, "I see he wants to break through the Mountain-sealing Array. However, he doesn't have the capability to break it. Now he doesn't even plan to break the formation, only to escape quickly. Ye Qing, our situation is very urgent now!"

"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded, looking at Huangfu Ziyu and the others within the great formation, "No matter what, I need to find a way to get Zi Yu and them out first. By the way, can this Mountain-sealing Array trap the python?"

"Hmph, it can trap us, but definitely not that python!" Bai Li Xi paused, then continued, "Also, you haven't understood what I mean by urgent. Didn't you see it? The Corpse Ghost Dragon now wants to escape, and with his abilities, escaping is easy — just a matter of time. But if he escapes, he will immediately arrange for people to surround the entire Medicine King Mountain. Then we'll become the fish in the barrel. If they surround Medicine King Mountain, no matter how we try to leave, we won't escape!"

Ye Qing suddenly felt a jolt of realization; this was indeed so. He had been worrying about Huangfu Ziyu's situation, but hadn't considered the most crucial part. Once the Corpse Ghost Dragon gets out, they won't be able to leave.

"So, we must leave Medicine King Mountain before the Corpse Ghost Dragon does. Otherwise, if they completely trap us inside Medicine King Mountain, even if they don't catch us, we'll starve to death!" Bai Li Xi looked at Ye Qing, saying in a deep voice, "In other words, we must leave the mountain!"

"Leave the mountain?" came Ning Qianshu's startled cry from behind. He and the masked old man had also come up, clearly hearing Ye Qing and Bai Li Xi's conversation.

"Master's legacy hasn't been found, how can we simply leave?" Ning Qianshu said urgently, "Besides, the Divine Doctor's Order is gone; we'll never get back into Medicine King Mountain again. Bai Li Xi, are you intending to let Master's legacy be buried forever in Medicine King Mountain?"

"Master said, when the eight Divine Doctor's Orders gather, his legacy will be inherited by someone, that's not something for you or me to worry about." Bai Li Xi gave Ning Qianshu a look, saying solemnly, "If you don't want to leave, you can stay right here. I won't stay here!"
