It can only be said that martial arts and dical skills complent each other; the higher Duan Yun's level reaches, the more his dical skills rise accordingly.
Because the supre state of martial arts is complete control over one's body, down to commanding every cell, which enables you to dominate the Martial World.
Similarly, dical skills also require absolute control over the body, not only for oneself but also for others.
As the doctors from the Hero dical Workshop arrived, Duan Yun swiftly headed towards Yushi Town.
The river construction wasn't completed, nor was it ti to release water — where did such a large amount of water co from?
Duan Yun's first instinct was that soone was sabotaging, especially recalling the danger Tang Wanwan sensed earlier, further validating his judgnt.
He tread upstream against the current, quickly reaching the source of the water flow.
This section of the river near the lake hadn't been built yet, as it's typically completed before water release. But now there appeared to be countless large holes, with lake water surging through them from all directions.
The water output from these large holes far exceeded the anticipated river water volu, flooding unchecked could lead to a breach.
The Murong brothers and their group were already rescuing the situation.
The Murong brothers used Sword Qi to cut the water flow from one hole, while Feng Ling'er and Lei Ying frantically used True Qi to push earth and stones to block the openings.
One of the holes was barely considered blocked, but there were at least five such openings, none able to be managed simultaneously.
Duan Yun arrived, unleashing Cloud Clearing Palm with both hands, moving mountains and overturning seas!
The rushing water reversed its flow; the next mont, he flew to a height and shaved off a mountaintop, moving it over to block the water.
The graveyard was so distance away; even with Duan Yun's rapid True Qi operation, it consud quite so ti.
The Jade Pearl Heroes brought Jianghu people and worked into the afternoon to truly block the surging lake water.
Duan Yun washed his hands in the lake water and said to Ziyu, "Ziyu, what do you think?"
Ziyu, looking grave, said, "These holes are unusual, very unusual. Soone intentionally created them, and that's what's most terrifying."
"Creating several large holes like these isn't a minor engineering task for us. We often dig rivers on this side. I inspected it the day before yesterday and found nothing amiss, which ans the perpetrator was secretive yet swift, completing it in a very short ti."
"In less than two days, maybe even shorter. I passed by here yesterday without spotting a single sign, making it likely done overnight."
"No, that's not right. Creating such holes overnight is utterly outrageous."
Duan Yun, his expression also grave, considered himself experienced in creating holes and, along with his abundant True Qi, couldn't accomplish such speed.
At least not at the speed needed for creating these holes.
Ziyu continued analyzing, "If this was indeed soone doing it, then not only is he adept at making holes but also skilled at water control, understanding the impact these holes would have on the river."
By this ti, the Murong brothers and their party had co over.
Feng Ling'er wondered, "Who could achieve this level?"
The Murong brothers pondered, "Nearby sects skilled in hole-digging have registered with us, so there's no chance of secretly mobilizing such manpower for this task."
Recalling Tang Wanwan's earlier suspicion, Duan Yun inwardly acknowledged Ziyu's analysis, saying, "What if just a few people managed this overnight?"
The Murong brothers said, "How could that be? Even bringing Yun State's top ten sect leaders skilled in hole-digging here couldn't achieve it."
Rember, this section of the river hasn't been started, and it's several miles from the lake. Yet these holes are so large and round.
While blocking the water, they noticed the holes were impressively big and round, even possessing a peculiar aesthetic.
Lei Ying frowned, "Don't you feel these holes resemble tomb robbing pits?"
"Tomb robbing pits?"
Shen Ying murmured, "Don't ntion it, but they indeed have that feeling. Tomb robbers are ticulous with their hole-making, and competition for better holes exists among them. Once, Ban Shan, Xieling, Faqiu, and Gold-Moving, four major tomb raiding sects, frequently held contests to outdo each other in making round and sturdy holes. The winner claid the top ranking."
Duan Yun scoffed, "They actually compete in this?"
Shen Ying nodded, "Yet making such large and round holes is indeed rare."
True, they didn't have ti to examine the water holes while busy stopping the water.
Now, these holes appeared not only large and round but also had smooth walls, reminiscent of a mirror-like surface.
The re thought was preposterous.
Lei Ying said, "But the four great tomb raiding sects have long declined; even their remnants are ineffective for such tasks."
The Martial World is rife with countless graves, like Yin Yang Tomb, Butterfly Tomb, White Bun Tomb, Butt Ghost Eye Tomb, each varied and perilous.
Even the once-prosperous four tomb raiding sects couldn't withstand grave hazards; over ti, talent naturally dwindled.
Knowing how formidable graves could be, why were they still reckless?
Only those truly initiated realize that tomb raiding is akin to indulgences like gambling, drinking, and smoking — they're addictive.
Imagine being a tomb robber; who wouldn't want to uncover a pri tomb soday, either possessing Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain or acquiring Divine Skill Secret Manuals for instant success.
It's like gambling, with thrills and suspense; one big bet might take you to the top.
This excitent drove tomb robbers despite the dangers, leading to casualties and dwindling legacies.
The group pondered but couldn't fathom who in the Martial World had such skills.
At this point, Feng Ling'er suddenly said, "Are we overlooking soone?"
"Who?" asked Ziyu.
"Over ten years ago, when I was very young, my mother said soone might establish a sect through tomb raiding. She talked about a genius who mastered Ban Shan, Xieling, Gold-Moving, and Faqiu skills, and rged them, elevating their essence."
The Murong brothers reacted, saying, "I know who you're talking about, but hasn't he disappeared?"
Feng Ling'er thought aloud, "He disappeared long ago. Tomb robbers usually disappear while raiding tombs, but what if he's not dead?"
The Murong brothers said, "Now that you ntion it, his brother indeed has a grudge against us."
As a Martial World newcor, Duan Yun was unfamiliar with the reference and asked directly, "Who?"
"Rat Phase Wei Wuxing, you first killed his lover, Peacock Demon, then wiped out his brother Zhu Xiang's family. This man revenges viciously; if alive and returns, he might indeed co for you," the Murong brothers analyzed.
Duan Yun showed no sign of anger, calmly saying, "Coming for , huh?"
His calm deanor actually made others fear him more.
Because everyone knew Duan Yun bore grudges deeply, even the Heavenly King offending him ant annihilation of their family. The calr he acted, the angrier he'd beco.
Like dogs, those that bite usually don't bark.
At that mont, Duan Yun grabbed Little Yin.
Little Yin feared being refined but heard Duan Yun's voice: "Use your nose to sniff out any trace or clue, so I can visit that person's family."
Little Yin nervously replied, "I'll try my best."
Seeing her lack of confidence, Duan Yun said, "If only the sisters were here."
With the help of the Goddess Catcher sisters, he'd likely find the entire family.
Then Feng Ling'er reluctantly said, "I've heard Cold Yi ng and Cold Yi Xue are indeed in Yun State for a case, not far from here."
Duan Yun's eyes lit up instantly, "Hurry, let them co!"
His eagerness made it seem he was readying for marriage.
Indeed, under the terrifying pressure from the Jade Pearl Heroes, malicious intent remained suppressed.
Or rather, even if harboring evil thoughts, they had to be good people.
This stemd from abundant energy among those refining bodies, also because in the Martial World they saw Duan Yun's project
