Chapter 583: Trip for a Month_1
Medicine Saint continued:
"Back then, aside from the Blood Blade Sect’s ancestor, Blood Fiend, the crazed devil Ning Bufan, escaping, the rest in the lair were strangled on the spot. The operation to exterminate the Blood Blade Sect continued for an entire year, sweeping clean all their branch locations, causing the Blood Blade Sect to never recover.
Latter on, Long Dingtian vanished without a trace, and without a leader recognized by all major sects and noble clans, the encirclement effort eventually fizzled out."
At this point, Medicine Saint let out a sigh: "This also gave the Blood Blade Sect a chance to catch their breath. After that, they moved into the shadows, only leaving a Blood Blade organization in the open, called the external branch of the Blood Blade Sect by those in the martial artist circle.
People from this external branch of the Blood Blade Sect tread carefully around Flame Dragon, no longer provoking the major sects and noble clans. They only target smaller sects, noble families, and loose cultivators like me, and they don’t usually harm common folks.
As a result, nobody targeted the Blood Blade Sect anymore, because eliminating a mere external branch was hardly meaningful."
"The current Blood Blade organization is just the external branch of the Blood Blade Sect?!" Jiang Chen asked in astonishment.
Medicine Saint smiled faintly: "What did you think? The world of martial artists isn’t as simple as you think. Young Jiang, you’d better focus on improving your strength quickly. I’ve received news that Ling’er’s family has discovered that she is alive and are currently hunting her. Young Jiang, I will do my best to help you gather medicinal herbs, and I hope you can keep your promise to take good care of Ling’er."
"Don’t worry, Senior Medicine Saint, Ling’er is like a sister to me, Jiang Chen. I will absolutely not let anyone harm her!" Jiang Chen spoke with a solemn tone.
Medicine Saint nodded and then reminded: "Right, some of the people I called couldn’t make it because of other obligations. After I summarized the time, the latest they can return is in five months, so I asked them to come together in five months. Whether you can win them over by then is up to you!"
"Alright." Jiang Chen nodded firmly, then his eyes swept around, he said in a deep voice: "Senior Medicine Saint, what about... leaving these external branch members of the Blood Blade Sect here?"
"Just the two of us won’t be able to keep them here," Medicine Saint replied, shaking his head lightly.
