Mysterious journey

A year ago, Cianfran came here and played against Palosha.

A year ago, Palosha became possessed.

Garen immediately understood the connection.

It was obvious that Sylphran appeared in the Grant and Eliza provinces so coincidentally for a special purpose. Maybe he came to fight Palosha at that time.

Now since Shiratori said that both of them were injured, then Xianflan should be equally injured now. If he doesn't have special means to cultivate.

But even Palosha was injured mentally, and later even became possessed by a demon. Xianflan's injury shouldn't be so easy to recover from.

On the way out of the waterfall, Garen kept thinking about this possibility.

As the four of them walked back to the lake, none of them spoke first.

The black cloak on Garen's body completely covered his body, so tightly that the other three could not clearly see his current injuries.

"Master Garen, your injury doesn't matter, right?" Boxing Champion Leo asked with a frown.

"Neither light nor serious. The impact is not big." Garen glanced at him and replied calmly.

"That's good." Leo looked slightly relieved, "Come here this time, since we have achieved our goal. What should we do now?"

Garen paused. "Let's go back to Grant. I have some insights from this battle with Palosha. I need to rest and recuperate when I go back. You can take care of the rest, but let me know the news of the Black Label Club as soon as possible."

"yes."

Leo nodded.

Cynthia and Jack were immediately relieved when they heard that Galen's injury was not serious. Their fate is now tied to Garen. Once Garen falls, they will not end well.

"I arranged for the carriage to be near the city. I will lead the way when we get out of here." Cynthia said.

"good."

Garen said no more and just responded lightly.

He told a few people that his injury was not serious, but as long as he understood it, his current condition was not that bad.

In the battle with Palosha, his Wushuang Tianchen didn't become a unique skill based on its lethality. The real power is that in the area hit by Wushuang Tianchen, a small piece of flesh is completely pecked away. It is difficult to completely close the wound.

The temporary stop of bleeding just now was also due to the forceful gathering of his muscles.

Apart from this, let alone the dark network which is much stronger than ordinary moves. This dark force completely numbed the nerves around the injury at that moment, and no blood was felt at all.

"Three on the chest and abdomen, 12 on the back, and eight on the limbs. Five of them were internal bleeding, three were simple trauma, and the rest were all nerve numbing wounds."

Garen checked his physical condition as he moved forward. In the attribute column below the field of vision, the physical fitness column also temporarily dropped by five points. Apparently the injury was too serious and the hard qigong was broken, which caused the overall level to drop.

"Then there are internal organs, all five internal organs have been displaced to varying degrees, and the heart has been micro-ruptured to a certain extent. The recovery ability has been suppressed. I don't know what secret method Palosha used."

Garen stretched out his hand hidden under his cloak. The back of his hand was frighteningly white, with only a little blood.

"Try the attribute points to see if it has any effect."

He tried to use the unused potential points to add a physical fitness column.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. After being blurred for a while, his body returned to its original state, and his body did not feel any signs of recovery.

"It seems that this time I can only wait and cultivate slowly." He frowned. "Such an injury inhibits recovery. As long as it doesn't get worse, it will take at least a month for me to fully recover."

The dispute with the Demon Elephant Sect has not yet been cleared up, so he can only go back to recuperate and take charge of the main gate.

All along, Garen has fought against a large number of opponents, and Garen has always been able to overcome them all the way. At this level, he originally thought that it would be impossible for him to be in such a miserable situation again, but he didn't expect that this time he would be in such a miserable state after just sparring.

Although Xianflan and Palosha are slightly weaker than them, the good news is that, no matter what, he has indeed entered such a top level.

Among the fighters I have seen along the way, whether they heard about it or saw it in person, only these two people can compare with him now, or even surpass him.

While recalling Palosha's moves, Garen began to shake his body slightly, slowly adjusting the injuries to his internal organs.

******************

More than ten days later

The battle between Baiyun Sect leader Garen and White Bird Holy Fist Palosha ended without anyone noticing.

The result of this battle spread throughout the southern martial arts community a little later.

The two fought to a draw, a result that many people did not expect. Garen, as the top fighter of the new generation, was actually able to tie with the strongest holy fist. Overnight, countless telegrams flew to all parts of the martial arts world.

The strength of Garonne Overlord was completely confirmed in this battle. Grant Province, where the leader of the Baiyun Sect is entrenched, has also become an area that many sects warn their disciples to pay attention to.

The status of Baiyun Sect has suddenly reached the same level as Nantian Holy Fist Sect and Star Ring Sect.

As for the Black Label Society and the Red Sand Sword Gate. The Black Label Club is negotiating with the Baiyun Sect on the details of merging vassals. One of the three major boxing champions betrayed the sect, one was seriously injured, and the remaining one is unable to support himself. He is no longer in name only.

The Red Sand Sword Sect disappeared completely because of the night of the battle between the hunting team and Garen, and suddenly faded out of everyone's sight. Many properties were directly sold and transferred to surrounding sects and the Baiyun Sect Star Ring Sect.

The entire southern part of the Federation has once again transformed into the three major sects.

Nantian Holy Fist Gate, Star Ring Gate, and Baiyun Gate. Among these three sects, the Baiyun Sect is the weakest. They have no intention of expanding beyond Grant Province, so they occupy a province and continue to consolidate their territory. All the territories from other provinces that the Black Label Society had defected to were transferred to the other two sects.

The Nantian Holy Fist Sect expanded aggressively, conquering many small sects and forming alliances.

The Star Ring Gate has also been somewhat restrained since the battle of Garonpa Losha. It is said that Andrela has finally come out of seclusion.

****************

Grant. Hubo City, the provincial capital

A white manor on a hillside on the outskirts of the city is surrounded by countless red maple forests.

Outside the gate of the manor, in the maple leaf forest.

Two young men were sitting in front of a stone table playing chess.

From time to time, a few red maple leaves fell down from the white stone table, as well as some kind of dandelion-like seeds. It was easily and accurately bounced away by the two of them.

Two men, one strong and tall, covered in black bandages. The other one has a handsome face, black hair shawl, and a black eyepatch.

The chess pieces on the table are made up of square and round black chess pieces. The strong man is in the lower square shape, while the one-eyed man is in the round shape.

"I heard that you were challenging Palosha. I came over right after I left seclusion. I didn't expect that with your strength, you would be in such a miserable situation." The one-eyed man was Andrela who came from Star Ring. He was currently wearing long-sleeved trousers and a black robe with a waistband. The cuffs were tattooed with silver-edged star patterns, and he looked extremely casual.

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Garen's upper body was completely covered with black bandages, and his lower body was wearing black silk trousers and leather boots. Sitting on the stool, his back is straight and his eyes are slightly narrowed, giving him a straight and strong aura. His hair was also cut short and his right hand was splinted.

"I can't even defeat you. Wouldn't I be willing to die if I challenged you?" Andrela smiled, "But Palosha is also someone I will surpass sooner or later. Now there's you. You said I have a sword now?" If you kill him, will you get the title of the best master in the south?"

"It seems that you gained a lot from this retreat." Garen smiled nonchalantly, reached out to grab a chess piece, and pressed it gently. "It's a pity that I killed you."

The chessboard was suddenly in a desperate situation, and Andrela's circular chess piece was completely surrounded, leaving only the space that could be filled by the last move. If he fills it out, he will lose.

"The effect of your medicine is really good." Gallon moved his body. "I can feel some effects, and some of the purulent and infected areas have not worsened. Thank you very much."

Since he came back that day, his injuries began to worsen, and all the places injured by Wushuang Tianchen began to fester. It took a lot of effort to develop rare drugs to suppress it temporarily.

However, the condition never recovered.

In more than ten days, the damage to his internal organs was only slightly repaired, but his strength was still unable to be restored.

"Coupled with taking medicine internally, the infection should be eliminated." Andrela reluctantly gave up the chess piece in her hand, "Forget it, I lose again. I didn't expect that besides martial arts, you are also so perverted in playing chess."

He stood up, took out a small red medicine bottle from his pocket, and threw it to Garen. "This is the healing medicine provided by the Star Ring Gate for me. It should have some effect. You have a guest here. I will go practice sword practice first. If you need anything, come to me at the same place."

As soon as the wind blew, Andrela disappeared instantly, leaving only a few red maple leaves floating on the ground.

Garen was sitting on a stool. This stone table and stool had an obvious oriental style. He asked the stonemason to specially build it here according to his own memory. It can also be regarded as a memory of China on Earth.

Putting the chess pieces into the chess boxes one by one, Garen gently placed the two chess boxes on the table. He picked up the red pill bottle, looked at it, and put it directly into his pocket.

The maple forest is surrounded by bright red on all sides, and the ground is covered with red and green fallen leaves, making it feel like a carpet.

Looking at the position where Andrela left, Garen was slightly emotional.

Andrela became stronger again, not just a little bit stronger, but a lot stronger than when they first met. No wonder he was so confident and wanted to challenge himself. The secret technique of flickering that he used reluctantly at the beginning was also used by him as he pleased.

Garen made a brief assessment. On the surface, Andrela's current strength is infinitely close to Clark, the top genius of Red Sand Sword, and he doesn't know what specific secret skills he has.

Outside the maple forest, there was gradually a sound of slight footsteps.

"Master. I'm bringing someone here." Jack's voice came from not far behind.

"Come here." Garen said calmly.
