Chapter 522

/*unedited*/

Everything turned hazy and the silence felt stifling and suffocating. The sound of heavy breathing and the rumbling of the ground felt like the rhythmic beating of one's heart. Time seems frozen and while looking at the blue sky the feeling of peace and calmness filled her heart.

Xugi Hung's life flashes by as her mind remember her past experiences. She recalled about her father and the fun days they had together with her mother. She lives a calm and joyous life with her father as the family head of the Hung family.

But her uncle has always been the problem that is causing the family great turmoil. And then one day while her father along with some of the elders in the family went to the mountainous forest near the town, disaster struck.

Three of the five elders was suffered a tragedy along with her father. It was said that they fell on a cliff and their bodies were never found.

Xugi Hung felt like her whole world crashed down on her as she wanted to almost give up on life due to the grief she felt about losing her father. Luckily her mother is a wise woman and immediately fled from the family.

"You two are my treasures… I will always love you both. You are my life and I will do anything for you."

"Oh, honey…"

"Dad, don't say that… my skin feels Goosebumps all over."

Those were the last words that she heard from her father as she ran away from the affectionate couple. She didn't want to see her parents flirt in front of her.

She didn't know that it was the last time that she would be seeing her father.

"…"

"Honey… remember to live your life. Do not bother with the trivialities. Do not seek vengeance." Her mother's loving words echoed through her mind.

However, one day she heard that people in the streets are mocking her father for being a useless head of the family. They also spread rumors that her mother eloped with someone after her father died. And there are more rumors that were spread throughout the town which reached their ears. Her mother was calm and collected, but she was not.

Hence she concentrated on her cultivation and martial arts. And after a few years, she has reached the gold core realm. She has attained the strength that she needed to restore the name of her father.

And then she decided to return to the family after her grand uncle asked her to return for the annual event for the family.

Her mother disagrees with her decision, but she stands firm and decided to fight for her right and her father's honor. Plus her purpose is to be able to get a sect's protection for her mother. This way the Hung family would think twice before making a move toward her.

However, she didn't know how it happened, but she already discovered that she actually fell in the hands of her own cousin and her dark machinations.

"It was her…" she thought as the face of a simple looking young woman who became friendly with her when she appears in the clan.

"Sigh… I… I was too naïve. I was too stupid." She thought as tears slowly flow down her eyes.

Her heart bellowed in sadness and grief as she discovers her own folly. How can her own family members who killed her dad let her off? It was just her foolishness and naivety of thinking that they would do nothing towards her. But this is the hard truth.

Xugi Hung felt her breathing becomes weaker as her body started to ache little by little. She knew that her life would be in danger and she might die at any moment. But she didn't know why her heart was calm and collected.

She can see her father's smiling face in the sky looking at her with his loving gaze.

"Dad… I'm coming…" she muttered in a sad voice.

"Sigh… you easily give up just like that?" suddenly a voice interrupted her stupor.

Though she could not move her body anymore due to some reason, her eyes shifted towards that figure.

Shin Jiao walked towards the girl on the ground and slowly picks her up with one hand while his other hand stopped the door from closing.

His action made all the people in the area stunned.

"Little lady, you need medication fast. I think I should take you to the city to a clinic for a check-up." He muttered.

Then he turns to a soldier standing on the side near the normal gate.

"Hey, this young woman needs some help… Can I take her inside the city through this gate?" Shin Jiao asked.

The guard looks at him incredulously and didn't answer. However, a figure appears and sneered at him.

"Haha… if you can open that gate then why not." An old man said.

This old man is the elder who came with the caravan of the Hung family. He wanted to make a move to make sure that Xugi Hung will not live. But he suddenly saw the young man walking towards her.

Shin Jiao just gave him a glance and the guard.

"I also have some friends with me. If I open this gate, I can enter, right?" Shin Jiao didn't bother with the old man and just asked the guard.

Another guard whispers to that guard's ears and he nodded his head.

"It's okay… as long as you can fully open that small gate, then you can pass."

With a nod of his head, Shin Jiao just casually pushes his hand that was holding the gate.

Creak! Clang!

The small door suddenly swung open as an aura of a gold core realm erupted from Shin Jiao's body. And after that, he carried the young woman in his arms and walked inside.

Gu Guxhing and the haughty young man looked askance at Shin Jiao but they just followed him inside.

Everyone showed a dumbfounded look on their faces. They could not explain how they felt as that guy easily swung the gate open as if it was nothing. Even the old man standing near Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback and did not react until the group was halfway inside the gate.

"Wait! Wait! That woman is a member of the Hung family. I would advise you to hand her back to me." The old man tried to chase after the group.

But before he can enter the gate, his figure was flung out by an irresistible force. And the old man flew and landed on the ground in a sorry state.

Everyone in the area laughed at the old man who had a stunned look while still sitting on the ground stupidly.

When he turned his gaze towards the gate once again, he can see it closing and Shin Jiao is looking at him with a grin on his handsome face. It was just a normal grin, but for him, it was an evil mocking gaze. It was like the young man is telling him that he is just a stupid old man.

"Damn you!" the old man shouted and began charging at the gate.

Nobody stopped him even the guards just casually took a glance.

Clang!

Another sound can be heard and the old man flew and landed on the ground once again in a sorry state. This was followed by the people mocking and jeering at the foolish old man.

Although seething in anger the elder of the Hung clan retreated to their caravan in shame.



While this is happening, Shin Jiao just turns around and looks at the road in front of him. How can he not grab the opportunity to help the young woman in this situation? He is not some foolish guy who would just let this opportunity pass by.

Through the event, the people seem to have forgotten their existence as their attention was distracted by the foolish old man.

"Haha… I somewhat expected that the old man was foolish, but I never expected that he was this stupid… Hahaha…" Shin Jiao muttered.

He then walked in a corner of the street and began checking the meridian of the young woman. With his absolute sense, he detected a lot of anomalies inside her body.

Her meridians and veins were all bleeding and broken, if she does not receive any help, then she would die in an hour due to internal bleeding.

"What a potent poison." He muttered.

"What do you mean? This woman is poisoned?" the haughty young man suddenly asked.

"Yeah… and a very subtle yet strong poison at that. I think it activated when she used her Qi."

"That was sinister indeed." Gu Guxhing also said on the side.

Shin Jiao took out a green transparent pill and feed it to her. He has already absorbed the poison in her body when he carried her; hence her body is already clear of them. The only problem is the internal wounds.

"That was a splendid show young one." Suddenly a group of people flew down towards them.

When Gu Guxhing and the haughty young man saw the group of people, they immediately cupped their hands and bowed their heads down.

"We greet the sect leaders!" the two of them said simultaneously.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback and just nodded his head. He could not do anything as the already unconscious young woman is still in his arms.

"Take her and let the Holy Maiden Sect check for her wounds." The man in white robe said.

The man has a serious expression on his face and looks like he is in his 40's. But Shin Jiao can feel that the man is older than he looks. But what made him feel amazed is the man's cultivation. Among the group of people, he has the highest cultivation level.

This is because he is already at the peak of the world nascent realm.
