Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1713 - 1718: Two Beast Kings?

"Dao Master!"

As Xia Liu and Master Daozhen entered the grand hall, Tiannan and Yi Xiu as well as the strong guardians of Mingjing City eagerly awaited them.

They were all sincerely respectful.

The power that Xia Liu had devoted to the Human Race was unmatched.

"Words of admiration should be set aside; the pressing matter now is the Beast Clan."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, for this time, the retreat of the Beast Clan army was quite peculiar.

They couldn’t understand what the Beast Clan was planning.

"Palace Master Yi Xiu, when the Beast Clan’s army retreated, was there anything unusual?"

Xia Liu explored along the way, yet unfortunately found no clues.

Perhaps Yi Xiu and others involved would have discovered something.

"Unusual..."

Yi Xiu and Tiannan fell into deep thought.

At that time, the state was prepared for war.

On the brink of conflict, they hadn’t the leisure to pay attention to anything else.

"Dao Master, I seemed to hear a trumpet sound, but it didn’t quite sound like one..."

A strong figure from Supreme Palace spoke hesitantly.

He was confused, unsure if it indeed was a trumpet sound.

For the frequency was too low.

He might have been the only one who heard it.

"Yes! I also heard a trumpet sound, very faint, resonating in the void, barely audible unless focused."

Liu Tian confirmed hearing the sound.

"So, the Beast Clan army was summoned back."

At that time, the Beast Clan army was ready to attack the city, on the verge of succeeding.

Suddenly they returned, perhaps because of the Beast King!

"Could it be the Beast King has emerged!"

Yi Xiu exclaimed in shock.

The Beast King!

The pinnacle king of the Beast Clan.

Xia Liu exerted all his strength to use a forbidden technique to defeat his confidence.

Now, if he emerges again, it won’t be easy to repel him.

If he joins forces with those Clan Leaders of the Beast Vein.

Even with Xia Liu leading the Human Race cultivators, it might be futile...

"Report!"

Just as Xia Liu sank into thought, a cultivator at the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation hurried in from outside the hall.

"What’s the matter?"

"The Beast Clan forces in Coconut Sea City have retreated, and the city is now empty!"

"Report! The Beast Clan strongmen in Jiangcheng City have also retreated!"

"Report! The beast armies in Ling City and Feng City have also retreated!"

...

A series of exhilarating news resonated through the hall.

Those cities were the ones the Beast Clan army had conquered in the past half year.

The outcome is now different; they all retreated!

"Hahaha! This is excellent news! These cities that were captured, the Beast Clan has now voluntarily retreated!"

"A benefit! A great benefit indeed!"

The cultivators above the hall were delighted.

But, Xia Liu remained expressionless.

Because these events were too abnormal.

The Beast Clan clearly had the advantage, why would they suddenly withdraw their troops?

Could it be they plan to reappear, led by the Beast King, and attack directly to the Imperial City?

In their arrogance, they might really do that.

"Dao Master, what do you think?"

Seeing the cautious demeanor on Xia Liu’s face, Tiannan quickly asked.

"I don’t understand the Beast Clan’s intentions either, but we must not take it lightly, as their power remains."

"That’s naturally the case; it’s just that we don’t know what arrangements should be made next."

Tiannan realized clearly, the Beast Clan’s strength was terrifying.

Adding a Beast King to that was truly daunting.

Luckily, Xia Liu emerged.

Otherwise, the Human Race would face devastation.

"My suggestion is, Flower City, Mingjing City, and City of Tomorrow should strengthen their connections; if one city is attacked, assess the situation and swiftly reinforce."

Xia Liu stated thus.

"Yes, we don’t know the enemy’s next move, we can only adapt accordingly."

"By the way, Dao Master, which stronghold city will you guard next?"

Xia Liu thought for a moment and said, "I need to visit the Imperial City, for the Martial Emperor must be restored to peak, otherwise I alone am difficult to contend against two Beast Kings."

"Two Beast Kings? What do you mean?"

"Dao Master, please speak plainly."

Yi Xiu and Tiannan were instantly dumbfounded.

Should there really be two Beast Kings, this land would be doomed.

The Human Race would gradually vanish.

"Do you remember the one who ambushed me?"

"Dark Venerable!"

"Almost overlooked him! Damn Dark Venerable!"

Recalling the day the defenses fell, Tiannan and Yi Xiu were agonized.

At that time, they vowed to protect Xia Liu.

Yet it led to him being severely injured, injured then fighting the Beast King.

Shameful indeed.

"Dark Venerable entered the Beast Vein Domain, perhaps undergoing some astonishing change..."

Xia Liu chose not to dwell further: "In short, everyone, be vigilant."

"Yes! Dao Master, rest assured, if we encounter Dark Venerable, even if it costs me my life, I will crush him!"

"Dark Venerable, I’ll surely tear his head apart!"

Though Tiannan was well-educated, regarding Dark Venerable, he was incredibly angry.

How dare he ambush Xia Liu; he must die!

Under everyone’s gaze, Xia Liu and Master Daozhen controlled their swords and departed.

Their destination, Western Region Imperial Palace!

Half a month later, prior to the Imperial City, two streaks of light dashed swiftly.

Ignoring the rules of the Imperial City, the streaks of light headed directly towards the Imperial Palace.

"Prepare for defense!"

At the same time, all posts within the Imperial City rang out intensely with Spirit Sound.

The Imperial Palace strongmen received the news instantly.

Led by Elder Li Dao, everyone appeared ready to confront them.

"This aura is Master Daozhen!"

"That person... is Xia Dao Master!"

"Xia Dao Master!"

Upon recognizing the figures within the stream of light, Elder Li Dao almost stumbled in excitement.

Xia Liu had returned!

"Elder Li Dao, not seen for half a year, your cultivation has greatly advanced!"

Flashing forward, Xia Liu playfully said.

"Dao Master Xia is joking, compared to you, we cultivators are far lacking."

"Ha! I heard the Martial Emperor was severely wounded by numerous Clan Leaders of the Beast Vein, but I have a bit of healing technique, don’t know if I can treat the Martial Emperor?"

Xia Liu laughed heartily.

But seeing Master Daozhen beside him, his face turned dark.

Damn, if Xia Liu’s healing technique is ’just a bit’.

Then in this land, no one would dare claim their medical skills were superior.

In just half a month, the arm he had shattered was completely healed!

Half a month also allowed Master Daozhen to adjust his mindset.

Otherwise, Xia Liu would really drive him crazy.

"To receive treatment from Dao Master Xia is Li Aotian’s honor."

Just before Elder Li Dao could respond, a weak voice came from a certain palace.

"Martial Emperor, it seems you are indeed very frail."

Xia Liu probed with his Divine Sense, though unable to scan through the Martial Emperor’s body, judging from his appearance alone.

Despite months of recuperation, he showed no sign of improvement.

"Hmm, please, Dao Master Xia, join me for tea in the hall."

Cough, cough...

After the Martial Emperor’s Spirit Sound rang out, he immediately coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

His once pallid face lost even more color.

"Father! Your poison has worsened!"

Li Feng supported the Martial Emperor, an overwhelming sorrow spread within his heart and soul.

He wished to exchange his life for his father’s safety.

Yet, fate was not his to command.

"No matter, Dao Master Xia has recovered; whether I am here or not makes no difference..."
