Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033 Secret Technique
Ghost Valley, nestled deep within the mountains.
Surrounded by the vast expanse of Hundred Thousand Mountains, there lay a winding path.
Following the long and narrow mountain road, passing ten sentry posts of Ghost Valley, one would finally behold the majestic mountain gate!
Unlike Medicine King Valley, Ghost Valley preferred not to interact with the outside world.
They excelled in assassinations and Strange Skills, which had little to do with ordinary people.
Therefore, there was no need to build their headquarters in easily accessible locations.
Those who arrived at Ghost Valley were almost always from sects and the underworld.
Some sought something, like Devlin.
Pay money, get things done.
Others, like Medicine King Valley, being sects themselves, inevitably had some cooperation.
Most of the time, Ghost Valley took money to carry out tasks.
Standing at the gate of the mountain, the Valley Master dismounted from his horse.
It was a rule.
A thousand-year rule of Ghost Valley.
No outsider could enter Ghost Valley by riding or in a vehicle.
Even the Valley Master was no exception. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
On the colossal and magnificent stone gate of Ghost Valley, the words "Unity of Heaven and Man" were engraved.
"Medicine King Valley, come to visit!"
The Valley Master clasped his hands and shouted toward the towering stone gate about ten meters high.
With a booming sound!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the stone gate slowly opened.
"Brother Medicine, long time no see!"
The moment the stone gate fully opened, the Valley Master of Ghost Valley, leading a group of disciples, walked out laughing.
"Brother Medicine, what brings you here this evening?"
The sky was not completely dark yet.
But for Ghost Valley in the mountains, the setting sun meant that night was approaching.
The surrounding mountains blocked most of the light.
"Brother Pendleton, do you not welcome me if I come without an issue?"
Valley Master waved his hand, and the disciples of Medicine King Valley immediately led the horses away behind him.
"Far from it! It’s always a pleasure to have the old brother visit!"
Brother Pendleton hugged the Valley Master: "It’s been a long time; I will have someone prepare a feast to wash the dust off for Brother Medicine!"
"You’re too kind!"
The Valley Master nodded and entered the stone gate with Valley Master Eleanor Pendleton.
Just inside the gate, there was a scene of hundreds of Ghost Valley disciples practicing martial arts shirtless.
"Hyah!"
A group of people wielding longswords, training in unison!
A fierce killing aura overwhelmed the senses.
"Brother Pendleton, these kids of yours are quite strong in battle!"
The Valley Master nodded, pausing to take in the scene before him.
Nearly a thousand people formed squads, divided into four training grounds.
Knife, spear, staff, and stick, each wielding one.
The four training grounds were elevated about half a meter high with giant stones, a huge Bagua symbol painted in the center!
The area was surrounded by hemp ropes and wooden stakes.
Anyone coming in for the first time and witnessing such a scene would inevitably feel reverence!
This was indeed why the Valley Master set the training grounds here.
To the sides of the training grounds, there was a row of buildings.
That was where the disciples of Ghost Valley normally resided.
Near the mountain gate.
In the event of danger, they could rush out at a moment’s notice.
"Excellent!"
The Valley Master nodded and clapped his hands in praise.
"It’s just a pity that if the Four Great Generals were here..."
He spoke with a tone of regret.
"Nevermind."
Eleanor Pendleton frowned slightly and strode forward: "Let’s not dwell on the past."
The Four Great Generals were personal guards of Young Master Witch Moon of Ghost Valley.
However.
They were all killed on the eve of the New Year.
Along with Witch Moon’s head, they were hung on a tree in front of Ghost Valley’s gate.
Pendleton had not given up on seeking revenge.
But now, he hadn’t found the right opportunity.
"Being the Valley Master of Ghost Valley, aren’t you worried that other sects might mock you if you show no concern over your own son’s murder?"
Medicine King spoke loudly from behind.
"Enough!"
Eleanor Pendleton stopped his steps, turned around, and roared, "Brother Medicine, did you come here just to mock Eleanor? If so, feel free to leave without me seeing you out!"
The voice was loud.
On the martial arts field.
The disciples of Ghost Valley stopped their movements and looked at the group from Medicine King Valley in the middle of the road.
There was a murderous aura!
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
The people from Medicine King Valley were also vigilant, watching their surroundings to safeguard Medicine King’s safety.
From the friendly greetings at the entrance to the hostile confrontation now.
Just a matter of a few words.
"Brother Pendleton, my visit this time indeed concerns seeking revenge for the honorable nephew. This matter only benefits you and has no drawbacks."
Medicine King, not intimidated, even gestured for his men to put away their weapons.
"I don’t want to hear it."
Eleanor Pendleton said coldly.
"I’ll say this one last time, if anyone brings this up again, don’t blame me for turning heartless!"
His face was as cold as frost, and his tone carried a hint of murderous intent!
"Brother Pendleton, I know you have your plans. But aren’t you curious why the Young Master insisted on bringing the four great generals to Harbor City?"
Medicine King drew out a longsword, fearlessly walking up to Eleanor Pendleton.
"Stop!"
Clang!
The disciples of Ghost Valley drew their swords!
They glared angrily.
The nature of Ghost Valley was fierce; with just one word from the Valley Master, they would dare to confront even a Daluo Golden Immortal!
The tension was palpable!
A battle seemed imminent.
"In terms of skills, Brother Pendleton surpasses me! Even if I’m foolish, I wouldn’t overestimate myself like this!"
Medicine King held the longsword with both hands, offering it to Eleanor Pendleton: "If, after I’ve spoken, you still insist on drawing your sword, I will not evade, and before I die, I will leave a will, instructing my attendants to bring it back, stating that this matter has no connection with Ghost Valley!"
"Medicine King!"
The disciples of Medicine King Valley shouted in alarm and quickly tried to dissuade him: "By no means! You are the leader of Medicine King Valley, how can you..."
"Silence!"
Medicine King rebuked them, took a step forward, and looked directly into Eleanor Pendleton’s eyes.
"Speak!"
Eleanor Pendleton received the longsword, touching the blade with his hand.
"Originally, the Young Master took people to Moon City to find a woman with a unique physique. As for the reason..."
"Please, let’s discuss this in detail inside the hall!"
Eleanor Pendleton narrowed his eyes and thrust the longsword into the ground: "Inform the kitchen to prepare dishes, I will not rest until I drink to my heart’s content with Medicine King!"
"Please!"
Medicine King slightly extended his hand, walking towards the great hall with the Valley Master.
Leaving behind those who were clueless.
The disciples of Ghost Valley and Medicine King Valley exchanged glances, still unclear about what had happened.
A moment ago, they were about to draw swords, and now they were like close brothers?
But as subordinates, they must have the awareness of subordinates.
They gathered their weapons and followed behind the two men.
As night began to fall.
A moon slowly suspended in the sky.
The gates of Ghost Valley were tightly closed, yet the hall was brightly lit.
Eleanor Pendleton and Medicine King sat inside the side hall.
In the room, only the two of them were present.
"Brother Medicine, speak frankly!"
He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
"After Julius Reed caused a great disturbance in Medicine King Valley, we investigated. Coincidentally, we discovered an astonishing secret!"
Medicine King held the teacup, lightly blew on it, and said indifferently, "The reason your Young Master went to Moon City was because of a woman. This woman has a very special physique, and when combined with that ’secret technique’ of the Young Master..."
"Speak!"
Eleanor Pendleton’s expression darkened, staring intently at Medicine King’s eyes: "Continue speaking!"
He knew somewhat about the death of Witch Moon.
After all, that was his own eldest son.
But he didn’t understand that secret technique.
It was precisely for this reason that Eleanor Pendleton had refrained from acting.
He wanted to find out the full story before seeking revenge!
"That secret technique happens to be in my hands,"
Medicine King said lightly.
