The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Liu Zixuan furrowed his brow: "Angel’s Heart? What is it?"

"A type of elixir similar to a relic."

The Sword Demon explained with a smile: "It’s said that each sect leader of the Angel Sect lives for seventy years, from entering the Martial Artist Realm to dying naturally. After their death, their body remains uncorrupted for ten years and naturally burns into a crystal within another ten years. This crystal is the Angel’s Heart, and when consumed by someone at the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven, it allows them to break through to the Life and Death Realm without any bottleneck!"

At this point, the Sword Demon changed his tone: "The formation of the Angel’s Heart is also called the Hundred-Year Phase by the Angel Sect."

"Hundred-Year Phase?" Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi both wondered.

"Explaining the so-called Hundred-Year Phase is quite simple. One must enter the Martial Artist Realm at ten years old, live for seventy, die, remain uncorrupted for ten years, and then turn into Angel’s Heart — all tallied up to a hundred years. This means each sect leader of the Angel Sect can dedicate exactly a hundred years to the sect."

Hearing this explanation, Liu Zixuan laughed: "But what if they’re killed prematurely?"

"As I mentioned, all this is based on natural death, if killed midway, the Angel’s Heart doesn’t form. The sect then selects another person to be the leader, replacing the previous one. And so the cycle continues," said the Sword Demon, shrugging.

Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "After the previous one dies, the next leader consumes the Angel’s Heart to reach the Life and Death Realm?"

"That’s both correct and incorrect."

The Sword Demon smiled: "Regardless of the realm, breaking through with external aids has drawbacks. While Angel’s Heart minimizes these drawbacks, it’s still not as good as achieving it through one’s own cultivation. That’s why most sect leaders of the Angel Sect rely on their own cultivation to reach the Life and Death Realm."

"So, there should be more than one Angel’s Heart then," Liu Zixuan gestured.

"Logically, yes, there should be more than one. But don’t forget, rules are made by people, and broken by people. The Angel Sect is a globally renowned super sect, countless envy the sect leader’s position and even collude with outsiders to seize it."

"After the last sect leader’s death, a huge internal conflict erupted, nearly destroying the Angel Sect. Then the current leader took the throne, overturned the rules, and used two of the previously saved three Angel’s Hearts on his confidants. Including himself, the Angel Sect gained three Life and Death Realm experts, firmly securing his position so that others wouldn’t dare covet it."

The Sword Demon took a deep breath and pointed at the Angel’s Heart in Liu Zixuan’s hand: "And this, is the last remaining Angel’s Heart from the Angel Sect, preserved as a supreme treasure."

Liu Zixuan laughed: "But they never thought this would be stolen by you!"

The Sword Demon glanced at him: "Stolen? I simply utilized its potential. A war is imminent, and if it’s used by them, they gain another Life and Death Realm. If we use it, isn’t it beneficial to us?"

Liu Zixuan gave a thumbs up to the Sword Demon: "I give full marks to that reasoning!"

Luo Xi grumbled, displeased: "You men are all the same, always finding a grand reason for yourselves!"

Of course, this statement met with contempt from both Liu Zixuan and the Sword Demon — that’s a burden they won’t shoulder!

"So this Angel’s Heart must be used wisely, given to someone who can shoulder great responsibility, as it can create a Life and Death Realm expert and is a supreme treasure!" said the Sword Demon.

Liu Zixuan nodded solemnly: "I’ll consider it carefully."

"Let’s go, first to the previous residence to heal," Luo Xi said.

With these words, the group walked towards the outside, but as soon as they stepped out of the factory, they saw two familiar figures approaching.

"Why are they back again?" Qiqi frowned.

The returning figures were two Dragon Spirit experts whom Qiqi had just thoroughly beaten, expecting them to go straight to find Wang Kun, but surprisingly, they came back.

Stopping, Liu Zixuan squinted and asked: "What? You still won’t give up?"

"Mr. Xuan, Mr. Kun wants to chat with you." The martial artist stepped forward and handed the phone to Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan hesitated, then took the phone: "What?"

"Brother Xuan, long time no see."

"Not seeing even now!" Liu Zixuan jokingly scolded.

Wang Kun pouted: "It’s quite nice to hear a familiar voice in foreign lands."

"Given our positions now, you think it’s fitting to casually chat?" Liu Zixuan didn’t want to waste time.

Wang Kun was silent for a moment: "Thanks for sparing my two subordinates."

"You know I spared them for their honesty and because Elder Jiang didn’t want Dragon Spirit entirely eradicated. It doesn’t have much to do with you," Liu Zixuan coldly said.

"Whatever the reason, I thank you. They’re Dragon Spirit’s last foundation. Jiang Family doesn’t want them completely gone, nor do I since I grew up in Dragon Spirit."

"You called just to say thank you?" Liu Zixuan questioned.

"Of course not, I’m heading to the airport now, should arrive in Qian Nan in three hours if all goes well."

"You’re coming back?"

"That’s my home." With that, Wang Kun ended the call.

Liu Zixuan pondered over Wang Kun’s last words, then smiled: "Seems he hasn’t been blinded by hatred."

Passing the phone to the martial artist, Liu Zixuan laughed: "If you’ve nowhere to go, you can go to the Star Pavilion Alliance’s manor, which is the Willow Association’s previous manor."

The two martial artists exchanged a glance, nodded, and departed.

Luo Xi asked: "What did Wang Kun say?"

"He’s coming back!" Liu Zixuan smiled.

"Coming back at this time?" Luo Xi frowned: "Isn’t he walking into a trap? By logic, he should be hiding as far away as possible, why decide to come back now!"

"He said he wants to return home." Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously: "Alright, let’s first heal Sword Demon senior, and then chat with Wang Kun when he returns."

"I don’t understand what you guys are up to," Luo Xi gazed at the black night: "Didn’t expect this beautiful day to pass like this."

"Yes, so many wonderful things delayed by you old guy!" Liu Zixuan complained, casting a steely look at the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon glanced at him: "Young people, overindulgence is bad for your health!"

"No worries, young master is an old National Doctor."

With banter and laughter, they arrived at Luo Xi’s previous accommodation, a large three-bedroom flat. Luo Xi led Qiqi to rest, while Liu Zixuan went to heal the Sword Demon...
