The Medical Guru

Chapter 1189 I’m Also Here to Wait for John Doe

“Slay a guru?”

Diwu Mingchuan’s praise came as a tremendous shock to them, including Master Numinous and the other three gurus. All of them were amazed.

That mysterious person won such a complimentary remark from a guru who was a top Wulin master. How invincible would that expert be?

That such a matchless person existed was inconceivable to all the others except for the four patriarchs and Master Numinous.

The four patriarchs and Master Numinous looked at each other, trying to make a guess in their hearts for a while. In the end, Master Numinous repeatedly shook his head because he couldn’t figure it out!

“No matter what, it’s a good thing.”

Since he had no idea who it was, Master Numinous didn’t bother to try and guess anymore and directly spoke up, “The death of a guru can be a warning to others. Let those foreigners be aware of our country’s awe-inspiring reputation!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

He was right!

Although their chief target, the ancient ruin, was gone, it was a significant gain for them to execute and repulse the enemies on this trip.

At least they managed to defend the dignity of Huaxia!

“However…”

Just as everyone was cheering for the victory, Master Numinous raised his eyebrows and said, “This battle exposed a problem!”

His statement immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“How did those foreign martial arts practitioners know about this place?”

Master Numinous had a worried frown and said, “Nirvana Organization certainly knew about it because they found a guide, but how did these martial arts practitioners know the whereabouts of this place and rush here directly? I hope that you can find out the truth.”

Everyone was startled.

“That’s true!

“Where did those foreigners get the information about this place?”

The news of the appearance of the ancient relic had been posted on the world underground-force forum. But that post didn’t accurately pinpoint the location of the ancient relic. Nirvana Organization had no idea where it was, so they couldn’t have disclosed the site. However, when these foreign martial arts practitioners learned that the ancient relic had been discovered in Huaxia, they invaded Huaxia in flocks from its border in Zangjiang. How were they so sure that the relic was here?

“John Doe.”

Just as everyone was puzzled by this, Master Numinous turned to look at Fang Qiu again and said, “We must be prudent about this matter. I hope you can inform the government of this problem as soon as possible. It’s best to let them do a thorough investigation. Not only will it affect Wulin in Huaxia, but it will also be a big problem for the entire Huaxia!”

“Sure.”

Fang Qiu nodded readily.

Like everyone else, when Master Numinous raised the doubt, the first idea that came to his mind was that there was a spy!

Or, those foreign forces had already planted their people in Huaxia!

If that were the case…

They must be extremely meticulous.

There was an old saying that goes like this: ants might well destroy a whole dam!

Even though such an accident was unlikely to happen in this modern era, this matter should be adequately investigated in case anything unexpected should happen.

Through this cooperation, everyone clearly knew John Doe must have been deeply involved with the government.

Otherwise, the government wouldn’t have sent this kind of news to John Doe and arranged for him to fight against the foreign enemies.

In that case, these Wulin people thought they should keep their wits about them when associating with John Doe.

Moreover, they would have to build a good relationship with John Doe. After all, he had a special connection with the government.

“That’s all.”

Master Numinous waved his hand and said, “Everyone, so long!”

He readied himself and flew away.

The others also left, one after another.

When he left the area with the others, Fang Qiu kept searching the surroundings with his Divine Consciousness. He flew off for quite a distance and didn’t stop until he was sure no one was following him. Then he went back to where the ancient ruin was.

Contrary to his expectation, Fang Qiu found that everyone else had gathered at the relic when he was about a hundred meters from the site.

However…

The atmosphere of the group that had gathered together seemed a little weird.

“Old Lin, you’re here too!”

They chatted with each other as if they were at a party but all of their actions looked somewhat unnatural when they gave each other a hold fist salute.

Fang Qiu took a closer look.

All these people engaged in small talk and were rather awkward with each other the whole time!

Fang Qiu quickly concealed his aura and hid in the distance to watch.

The people in the crowd were exchanging conventional greetings.

“What a coincidence to meet you here again.”

“Ha-ha, I just want to come back and have a look.”

“The ancient ruin disappeared, but I might find something else.”

“To be honest, there is nothing in this ancient relic. Even if it vanished, it was not really a great loss.”

“Then why did you come back?”

After they chatted embarrassedly for a while, the atmosphere appeared much less awkward.

“Faction Leader Lin, you are the first to discover this ancient relic. I guess you should have a plan, right?”

Abruptly, someone brought out this question.

“A plan?”

Lin Qingyi permitted himself a wry smile and said, “If I have a solution, why should I come here and wait with you?”

Everyone was stunned and laughed awkwardly.

“We came back for the same purpose. There is no need to try to cover up.”

Lin Qingyi shook his head and said, “Anyway, I’m here to wait for John Doe, and I’m readily admitting it. If you are not, you can leave after seeing what you came to see!”

Everyone burst out laughing.

“To tell you the truth, I’m also here to wait for John Doe.”

“Me too.”

“There’s nothing in this damn place. The only reason we came back here is due to John Doe.”

All the others agreed with a nod.

“Hey, that brat won’t come back, will he?”

“I don’t know.”

“I want to see if this guy has any secrets. If he comes back, maybe we can go in there again.”

“Why don’t we hide?”

“Why must we do that? As long as he is back, we can sense his presence. At that time, he can’t run away.”

“Indeed. If he shows up, it means he has kept some secrets from us!”

After confessing to each other, everyone began to discuss the matter loudly and carelessly.

Fang Qiu, who was hiding behind a snow mountain, heard their discussion distinctly.

He sneered in displeasure.

“Damn it, a bunch of old bastards!”

Fang Qiu cursed in his heart and kept himself hidden. Anyway, if this group didn’t go away, he would never go out!

One of the groups proposed this idea: everyone should lurk about in the valley between the ox-horn mountains and wait for John Doe.

Each of them came for John Doe. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, they met all the others except John Doe.

John Doe was nowhere to be seen.

These people could only smile bitterly.

Half a day had passed.

The crowd waited quietly.

Half a day later, seeing that John Doe still had not come back, everyone gave up and walked away, smiling bitterly.

Fang Qiu still stayed hidden.

He had no intention of going out at all.

After waiting for about one hour, he checked the situation within the 50-kilometer area around by using his Divine Awareness. After confirming that there was no movement within the range of his Divine Consciousness, he showed up quietly.

As he came out of hiding, Fang Qiu took out his phone to call Li Ji.

“Hello?”

He got through.

“The problems in Zangjiang have all been resolved.”

Fang Qiu spoke up, “We’ve scared away all the foreign martial arts practitioners. They lost one guru and several Half-step Gurus. I assume that they won’t dare to break into Huaxia anytime soon in the near future.”

“Good job!”

When Li Ji heard this important news, he immediately cheered with satisfaction.

“However, there’s a problem.”

Master Numinous’s question came to his mind, and Fang Qiu voiced his doubt, “How did those foreign forces know where the exact location of the ancient ruin was? No one brought them to the site, yet they were very clear about the precise location of the relic. How did they know? We must dig the truth out!”

“We’re already working on it.”

Li Ji nodded and replied, “We don’t know exactly, but when those foreign forces headed for Zangjiang, we noticed that something was wrong. I believe it won’t be long before we get to the bottom of it.”

“Great.”

Fang Qiu nodded contentedly and added, “Now help me correct my position with the position I told you to record. Don’t hang up the phone. Tell me which direction I should take!”

“The northwest!”

Li Ji’s voice came over.

Without uttering a word, Fang Qiu immediately turned to the northwest, swiftly flying away.

Li Ji closely followed Fang Qiu’s real-time position at the other end of the phone. Whenever Fang Qiu deviated from the route, he would remind him to adjust his direction accordingly.

Through this method of cooperation, Fang Qiu crossed many glaciers and snow mountains. Soon, he arrived at the foot of an icy mountain deep within the mountain range.

It was a high mountain that towered toward the skies.

Fang Qiu stood there, looking up at the ox-horn mountain, the relic’s entrance, but surprisingly, he could hardly recognize it. He thought it must be because he had viewed too many ice-capped mountains along the way.

In addition to its enormous size, there was something special about this mountain covered with ice and snow.

That was…

There was a massive crack at the bottom of the back of the mountain!

It was wide, like a canyon covered by ice.

Fang Qiu looked down.

Except for various messy icicles, nothing else could be seen. The depth of the fissure was in total darkness.

“Right here!”

After leading Fang Qiu to the edge of the crack, Li Ji said with great certainty.

“Really?”

Fang Qiu confirmed with him, looking down at the crack.

“Absolutely!”

Li Ji nodded and reassured him. “The last location you asked me to take down is this site.”

“Okay, I see. Thank you.”

Fang Qiu nodded, thanked him, and then hung up the phone.

“It seems that it’s down there.”

Taking a short breath, Fang Qiu poised and plunged into the huge crack. Like an agile monkey, he jumped back and forth on the topsy-turvy icicles in the gap, dropping deeper into the abyss.

Fang Qiu didn’t care about anything else.

However, he had to get the mysterious jade sealed in the cave.

Whether to deal with Nirvana Organization or other possible dangers, it could make a big difference. Therefore, he must seize that treasure.

After all, it was something from the ancient ruin. Finding such a precious jade mine in this world was almost impossible!

He fell all the way.

After a long time, Fang Qiu finally stopped and landed inside the glacier!
