King of Nine Heavens

Shangguan Tianming smiled along with him. He reached out and grabbed a disciple's wrist and checked his pulse. It seemed like he didn't feel anything wrong. Then, he checked a few people's pulse consecutively, but he still didn't feel anything wrong.    

Gao Xiaotian looked at Shangguan Tianming's actions and said unhappily: "Such an obvious abnormality and you can't even detect it, to think you are actually an expert who is extremely close to the Martial Monarch Stage."    

Shangguan Tianming was, after all, a man in his fifties or sixties. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially in front of a few juniors, he was scolded by Gao Xiaotian.    

Seeing this, Zhu Qinghua quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over. "Master, can I try?"    

"Let's give it a try!" Gao Xiaotian said.    

Zhu Qinghua placed her finger on a disciple's wrist. At first, she didn't feel abnormal, but after her heart became calm, she found that his pulse was slower than normal.    

It would not be a problem if a person was a few times slower than them. However, if a few people were a few times slower than him or her, then there would be a huge problem.    

Zhu Qinghua then checked their pulse. She raised her head and said to Gao Xiaotian, "Master, you're right. There is indeed a problem with their pulse. However, it's not very obvious. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to feel it."    

"Tianming, did you hear that? I've long since said that you're inferior to your Junior Sister, but you don't believe me." Gao Xiaotian said decisively.    

Shangguan Tianming once again checked the pulse of another disciple. He bowed and said, "Master, your lesson is correct. I am indeed inferior to junior."    

"So that's how it is. No wonder my sister's Second Grade Cultivation increased only after she entered it for three years." Shangguan Yujie's face darkened. She clenched her fists and said, "If I find out who gave my sister the medicine to suppress the growth of her cultivation, I'll tear her into a thousand pieces."    

Gao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Who could it be? I am 100% sure that it was Liu Kun and Ouyang Lu who did it."    

Hearing that, Shangguan Tianming immediately thought of the things that happened in the past few years. In the past ten years, every year during the palace's great competition, the Second Academy would always be a head above the first academy, and such a thing had never happened before.    

Thinking of this, Shangguan Tianming sighed: "I didn't expect them to be so despicable that they would do something like this."    

Gao Xiaotian already knew how despicable Liu Kun was. If it wasn't because of Liu Kun's scheme, Gao Xiaotian wouldn't have been seriously injured and live in seclusion in this godforsaken place for more than ten years.    

Gao Xiaotian basically believed that Liu Kun and the rest did it, but in order to not wrongly accuse him, he looked at Shangguan Tianming and the rest and asked, "Do you have disciples with Second Academy who escaped with you?"    

The First Academy and Second Academy were like water and fire, they basically did not have any interactions. Shangguan Tianming thought about it and said, "I don't think so."    

Zhu Qinghua pondered for a moment before saying, "I've thought of one thing. The cousin of one of our girls seems to be from Second Academy. He ran away with her and us because he liked her. "    

Gao Xiaotian instructed, "Then call him in."    

A disciple said, "Martial Granduncle, I remember now. The person you are talking about should be my hometown. I know him, so I'll go call him over."    

After he finished speaking, that person fawned and ran out of the cave. Not long later, he brought in a youth that was about the same size as him. His cultivation base was actually higher than his by three levels.    

The youth couldn't help but feel his blood run cold when he saw that everyone was looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.    

Gao Xiaotian smiled. "You don't have to be afraid. We're not interrogating you. We just want to examine your body. You can ask Chu Yuan to give you your pulse number, right?"    

When the teenager heard that, his expression eased up a lot. He walked up to Zhu Qinghua and stretched out his hand.    

Zhu Qinghua placed her finger on the youth's wrist and immediately felt his pulse beat strongly. She sighed, "This is Martial Stylite's normal pulse."    

Then he looked at Shangguan Tianming and asked: "Senior Brother, do you still want to try?"    

"No need. From his complexion, we can tell that he is different from them." Shangguan Tianming said to the other disciples, "You guys leave first."    

"As expected, it was that old fogey who did it." Shangguan Yujie thought about how her sister's Second Grade Cultivation had only increased in the past three years, and she became extremely angry, and impulsively said, "You dare to bully my sister, I'll go and settle this score with him."    

Gao Feng looked at Shangguan Yujie's cultivation and ridiculed: "That old fellow Liu Kun is at the peak of Martial King Stage, what are you going to use to settle the score with him? Could it be an abacus? "    

Shangguan Yujie glared at Gao Feng: "I can't beat him, but my dad has many experts under him, they can help me."    

Shangguan Tianming snapped, "Nonsense! The martial arts world and the imperial government have always kept to themselves and have never interfered with each other. If the imperial government oppresses the martial arts world, the martial arts world will take revenge on a large scale."    

Shangguan Yujie was unconvinced and asked, "Could it be that the people in the Jianghu can compete with the imperial government?"    

"One half pound, one eight. In a fight, both sides will surely suffer." Shangguan Tianming said worriedly, "The people will be the ones to suffer the most. Therefore, as a last resort, the imperial government usually doesn't interfere in matters of the martial arts world.    

Shangguan Tianxiong had also told Shangguan Yujie about these matters. Because Shangguan Bingqing had already chosen the Jianghu, Shangguan Tianxiong didn't agree with Shangguan Yujie's decision. As long as she didn't step into the Jianghu, Shangguan Tianxiong's connections and power were enough to ensure that she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.    

Actually, Shangguan Yujie had no intention to join the martial arts world, it was just that the appearance of that "mountain" had changed her original intentions.    

It's all because of you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been so passive. If it wasn't for you, my sister's injuries wouldn't have been this serious. Shangguan Yujie glared at Gao Feng again and said to Shangguan Tianming, "We can't let the culprit get away scot-free, can we?"    

"Of course we can't let them get away scot-free. We have to make eye for eye, and tooth for tooth." Gao Feng said angrily.    

Shangguan Yujie retorted, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. How can a mere Martial Master Stage compete with Liu Kun!"    

This girl still liked to fight with him just like before, she wasn't willing to suffer a loss. Gao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late."    

Seeing Gao Feng say such dejected words, Shangguan Yujie could not help but mock him, "Ten years is not too late? Ten years of daylily had turned cold. Brother-in-law, you might as well not take revenge for my sister. Just be a cowardly turtle and let my nephew take revenge for his parents in the future? "    

"You …" Gao Feng was speechless.    

"We have to think carefully about the matter of revenge." Gao Xiaotian gave Gao Feng a meaningful look, "Feng, go and take a look at Eldest Senior Brother. Have you finished refining the Pill?"    

"Alright."    

Gao Feng responded and walked towards the entrance of the cave.    

"Bam!"    

Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out. The earth shook and the mountains shook, causing everyone's expressions to change upon hearing it.
