"Lone Crane, don't hurt my disciple!" During life and death, a loud yell exploded. A figure came through the air at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. A gigantic palm attacked at a certain direction with overwhelming power.

Under the threat of this palm, the palm that was smas.h.i.+ng towards Ye Tianping's head paused for a moment, and then quickly changed its direction, meeting the palm that was smas.h.i.+ng towards him in the air.

"Boom!"

The clash of strong forces was like an explosive clap of thunder. Waves of air surged and clouds stirred in the air.

In the sky above Ye Tianping, two figures separated as soon as they came into contact. As Ye Tianping was too close to the two of them, his ears could not endure the loud rumbling. He was temporarily deaf and could not hear anything around him. At the same time, he was affected by the aftermath of the attack, causing a dull feeling in his chest, and then, he spat a mouthful of blood

"Tianping, are you alright?" An elderly and benevolent voice came, and a warm hand rested on Ye Tianping's shoulder. A wave of pure internal energy entered Ye Tianping's body, making him feel much better in an instant, and the churning blood waves in his body also calmed down.

"Master, why are you here?" Ye Tianping looked at the person in front of him and was both surprised and happy.

In front him stood an old man with a fair face and a short white beard. He was his master — — Lone Swan, one of the top masters of the Half Ancient Martial World.

And the old man in front of them right now was called Lone Crane, the strongest expert in the Tian Han Sect, also one of the top masters of the half-Ancient Martial World.

In the half Ancient Martial World, the two of them could be said to be the highest level. The reputations of Lone Swan in the South and Lone Crane in the North had long ago spread to every corner of the half-Ancient Martial World.

It was quite rare for such two extraordinary people to appear in the city at the same time.

For the city Martial Cultivators, they could already be considered peerless experts.

The two peerless experts faced off, and the rest of the people all retreated. No one could withstand their tyrannical and fierce pressure.

"Ping'er, step aside first." Lone Swan let Ye Tianping retreat to the back, while he walked forward to face the Lone Crane who was nearby.

Lone Crane, who had the demeanor of a deity stood at the opposite side with an indifferent expression, "Lone Swan, I didn't expect that you would also come out."

"Ho-ho, since you've already come out, how can I not?" Lone Swan replied with a slight smile.

"Your disciple has violated my great taboo. How dare he peep while I am doing my job? What do you say about this?" As Lone Crane said this, a burst of oppressive aura came forth. Wherever the aura went, plants swayed and withered leaves danced in the air.

"Ho-ho." Lone Swan's expression still did not change as he chuckled, "Brother Lone Crane, this world is an open place for everybody to walk in his own way. What evidence do you have to prove that he was peeping at you? Furthermore, was Brother Lone Crane doing something shameful that you are afraid of being seen by others? "

"You …!" Lone Crane's sword-like eyebrows twitched, the fierce wind around him whistled, and his face was immediately filled with dense killing intent: "Looks like today, the fight between us two is inevitable."

"Brother Lone Crane, do you really want to fight? You must think it through. If you really want to fight, then how about we fight on the day of the Hero Ranking? Of course, if you really want to fight, I will have to suit your wish. "Lone Swan was neither humble nor arrogant.

The day of Hero Ranking he mentioned was a hero gathering held every ten years in the half ancient martial world. On that day, all the heroes gathered together and fought for their position on the list of heroes. Other than for fame or gain, the people who were ranked in the top three of the hero lists could enter the real Ancient Martial World.

To enter the real Ancient Martial World was the dream of all Martial Cultivators. It was a place where one could enter the ultimate stage with martial art, especially for experts like Lone Swan and Lone Crane, it was already very difficult for them to advance any further outside. If they wanted to improve, they would have to enter the Ancient Martial World, so their desire to enter the Ancient Martial World was stronger than anyone else.

The Hero Ranking was held once every ten years, and next year would be the completion of another ten years. Lone Swan and Lone Crane were both determined to win the position of the top three, so before that time, neither of them would fight to the death with experts of the same level.

Because fists and legs were blind, experts fought with all their might. If they accidentally fought a battle where both sides were injured, or lost an arm or a leg, or suffered a severe injury that would take a few years to recover, they would have no share in the list of heroes, allowing others to take the opportunity. If they missed this time, it would be another difficult ten years. They couldn't afford to waste time, nor did they have the patience to waste it.

After considering the pros and cons, Lone Crane felt that the Hero Ranking a year later was more important. Even if they had to fight, he preferred the fight in the hero ranking, they could have a battle of life and death then.

After Lone Crane made his decision, the aura around him slowly disappeared, and the things around him returned to normal.

"Alright, Lone Swan. I will give you some face today. I shall meet you in the Hero Ranking. Let's go!" With that, Lone Crane turned and left. His followers naturally did not dare to slight him, and they quickly followed.

Seeing Lone Crane leading the Tian Han Sect and the rest away, Lone Swan heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was worried that Lone Crane would disregard everything and rush forward to fight with him, he could compete on equal footing with Lone Crane, but Ye Tianping would be in deep trouble. Among all the people that Lone Crane was leading, just Leng Feng alone was enough to make Ye Tianping unable to endure, let alone the others surrounding and attacking him together.

"Master, why have you come in person?" Ye Tianping did not care about Lone Crane and the others who had left, and asked with extreme joy.

Lone Swan smiled, "After receiving your letter requesting help, I was worried, and decided to come personally. Moreover, you found the Medicine King Scripture that is related to the fate of our sect, so your master had to come. Fortunately, I came out and accidentally discovered the situation here, so I came over with curiosity. That's why I found you. Otherwise, you would not be able to survive today. "

Hearing Lone Swan's words and recalling what happened just now, Ye Tianping's spine turned cold. Only then did he feel a sense of lingering fear. It was close just now, and how lucky he was!

"Oh right, what are you doing out there in the middle of the night, and why did you b.u.mp into that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lone Crane?" Lone Swan continued to ask curiously.

Ye Tianping quickly explained, "Master, I have an important matter to take care of, so I rushed out this very night."

"No matter what it is, give the Medicine King Scripture to me first. This thing is of great importance, and the Jinwu Sect and the people of Tian Han Sect have their eyes on it. It is not safe on you."

Ye Tianping naturally did not dare to disobey the words of Lone Swan, and what he said was right, the Medicine King Scripture was indeed much safer in Lone Swan's hands.

"Master, no problem, I will give it to you as soon as I'm done." Ye Tianping still wanted to find out more about Qin Hao.

"Is there something more important than the Medicine King Scripture, foolish kid."Lone Swan's face darkened, and he became somewhat displeased.

Seeing Lone Swan's expression, Ye Tianping did not dare to nag and could only bring Lone Swan to another place. It turned out that Ye Tianping was afraid that he would lose The Medicine King Scripture. Hence, he hid in a culvert under the stone bridge of a small river.

When Medicine King Scripture was handed over to Lone Swan, he was extremely excited. The Medicine Sect treasure that had been lost for many years had finally returned. Even though it was only half, it was already pretty good.

The Medicine Sect was famous for refining medicines, but many refining techniques had been lost. With the Medicine King Scripture, the Medicine Sect would truly be the sect where the "great doctors" gathered.

From then on, the Medicine Sect could concoct countless heaven-defying pills, and by relying on pills, one martial art expert after another could be cultivated, thus restoring the glory of the Medicine Sect. In the end, the goal of returning to the real Ancient Martial World would be realized

Thinking about the future glory of Medicine Sect, how could Lone Swan be not excited?

"Ping'er, you have done a great job in searching for the Medicine King Scripture this time. When we return, there will definitely be great rewards for you." Lone Swan calmed his agitated mood and said as he hurriedly kept the scripture.

"Master, I do not dare to ask for a reward. I only hope that Master will allow me to do something important now." Ye Tianping was still worried about Qin Hao's safety, and currently, his heart was burning with anxiety.

Seeing Ye Tianping's anxious look, Lone Swan frowned, "What exactly is it? Can I help you with it?"

Hearing that, Ye Tianping paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that if he had Lone Swan, an exceptional expert to help him, it would be much easier to find Qin Hao, and upon thinking about it, he anxiously said: "Master, it is best that you are willing to help, let's leave immediately."

"Wait, it's fine if you get Master's help, but you have to explain what exactly it is, right?"

"No problem, but it's an emergency. Can we talk on the way?" Ye Tianping pleaded.

"Alright, let's go." Lone Swan was not long-winded and agreed readily.

Following that, the two experts were like two vigorous cheetahs as they ran in the dark night at full speed, not forgetting to ask and answer questions at the same time.

Ye Tianping: "Master, do you still remember my junior brother Qin Ying?"

"Nonsense, how could I not remember the disciple I was most proud of? It was a pity, alas … The most regrettable thing is that after his death, he didn't even have a single descendant. " As he said till here, Lone Swan let out a long and sorrowful sigh.

Ye Tianping was silent for a moment, then said carefully: "Master, he actually has a descendant."

"What did you say? He has a descendant?" Lone Swan was stunned by these words.

"Yes." Ye Tianping nodded seriously, "He was the same as me, when we went down the mountain together, he fell in love with a woman from the city …. After that, I had a daughter named Siyu, and Brother Qin had a son called Qin Hao. "

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Lone Swan suddenly stopped, staring angrily at Ye Tianping.

Ye Tianping also quickly stopped, and said somewhat fearfully: "Master, master, our actions back then were in violation of the sect's rules, so we didn't dare to say anything."

"Bullsh * t. Didn't we accept your thing later?" Lone Swan was furious. This disciple concealed the truth from him, his master, for such a long time, for twenty years.

"Master, I'm sorry. It was Brother Qin who, before his death, repeatedly begged me to keep this a secret and to take good care of the woman and the son. But I was useless and didn't take good care of them. I am ashamed to face Brother Qin, so about the secret he asked me to keep, I couldn't...

"Alas, forget it. Master understands your difficulties." Lone Swan sighed again as if he totally understood Ye Tianping, he then asked anxiously: "You look so anxious now, did something serious happen to the child?"

"Yes, master. It's a matter of life and death. I must see him if he is alive, and if he is dead, I …"

"What? A matter of life and death? Why are you still blabbering? Hurry up, let's go!" The old fellow roared, and with a "sou" sound, he picked up Ye Tianping and disappeared into the darkness in the distance. He felt that Ye Tianping's speed was too slow, so he directly picked him up and flew away.
