Strongest Medical Saint

The night passed in haste.

The next day, before the dawn had fully broken.

Within a densely forested mountain region on Hong Kong Island.

Shen Feng, Uncle Zhong, and Ji Yunhan were making their way through it, and Fei Chao, who had lost his hands and feet, was also brought along.

However, being carried by two physically strong bodyguards, he ironically enjoyed a treatment befitting a high lord.

Yet, Fei Chao's complexion was extraordinarily pale, and he seemed to be on his last breath.

Last night.

After Uncle Zhong mentioned the Earthflame Testing Ground, he also recounted the plight of Old Master Ji.

Since Shen Feng was going to the Taiyi Sect anyway, it wouldn't be too much trouble to bring Old Master Ji back with him.

Fei Chao woke up again last night and was truly scared out of his wits; he confessed everything truthfully, not being a tough guy at all. Although he had lost his limbs, he still wanted to cling to life desperately.

Upon learning that it was the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect who was manipulating events from the shadows, Uncle Zhong and Ji Yunhan were seething with rage, unable to comprehend where they had offended the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect. They brought Fei Chao along intending to confront the Great Elder at the Taiyi Sect.

The Taiyi Sect's headquarters were hidden deep in the mountains, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find their exact location.

However, both Uncle Zhong and Fei Chao had spent time within the Taiyi Sect.

Based on Fei Chao's confession from yesterday, today happened to be the annual grand assembly of the Taiyi Sect.

Today, the Taiyi Sect would conduct various complicated ceremonies.

Of course, even though it was a grand assembly, it was an internal event of the Taiyi Sect, usually not open to the other families and sects of the Martial Arts World.

But according to Fei Chao, a martial arts family with good relations with the Taiyi Sect was expected to attend this time.

The Shi Family from the north.

In the Martial Arts World of Huaxia Country, they too were a heavyweight martial arts family.

The current Family Head of the Shi Family and the present Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect had once trained together outside and even made a pact that if they had children in the future, they would become in-laws.

Early this morning, Shen Feng and the others arrived at this mountain forest, and since cars couldn't travel through the forest, they had been walking for over an hour.

Following closely behind Uncle Zhong, Ji Yunhan suddenly tripped over a rock on the ground, and she fell straight down.

The spot where she fell had a particularly sharp rock, and had her face collided with it, she would have undoubtedly been bleeding profusely, which frightened her pale.

Shen Feng noticed the commotion behind him and, in the instant Ji Yunhan was about to hit the ground, he caught her in his arms.

Ji Yunhan's body abruptly leaned into Shen Feng's embrace, and after steadying her mind, her cheeks turned slightly red.

Shen Feng let go of Ji Yunhan. He didn't have any particular thoughts about her and said, "Let's rest here for a few minutes."

With those words, he casually sat down on the ground.

Uncle Zhong said to Ji Yunhan, "Eldest Miss, take a rest for a while."

Ji Yunhan had been busy taking care of Ji Corporation's matters until very late last night, and she had practically gone the whole night without sleep.

After Ji Yunhan nodded, she said to the two bodyguards, "You guys should also rest for a bit."

The two bodyguards then put Fei Chao down and sat down to rest on the spot.

Ji Yunhan patted her slightly sore calves, and her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at Shen Feng.

The instant she leaned into Shen Feng's embrace just now, she felt her heartbeat quicken. Was he really an old man? She was becoming increasingly doubtful.

Yesterday evening, Ji Yunhan shared her suspicions with Uncle Zhong.

Uncle Zhong firmly believed Senior Shen's age could not be low, given his high strength and ability to craft such powerful Fireball Talismans. How young could he possibly be?

In the martial arts world of Huaxia Country, is there anyone capable of crafting Talismans who isn't grey-haired and white-bearded?

Based on these assessments, Uncle Zhong was very certain that Shen Feng was indeed an elderly senior.

Uncle Zhong reached this conclusion by relying on various judgments shown by Shen Feng, while Ji Yunhan was filled with doubts due to a woman's intuition.

After resting on the spot for ten minutes, Ji Yunhan suggested they continue onward.

Shen Feng did not refuse.

The Taiyi Sect lay in the deepest part of the mountain forest, and the further they went, the more dangerous it became.

Along the way, there were many obstacles set up by the Taiyi Sect. If an ordinary person were trapped within them, death was a very likely outcome.

However, generally, people did not venture into the deep parts of this mountain forest.

Upon reaching the area where the Taiyi Sect began to set up obstacles, a massive stone stele stood erect with the words: "Proceed no further, do so at your own risk!"

This was presumably a warning for intruders from the Taiyi Sect.

Every year, the obstacles set up by the Taiyi Sect would change. However, Fei Chao had just left the Taiyi Sect, so he naturally knew where the traps were.

Since Fei Chao could bypass these obstacles and traps, Shen Feng didn't bother to intervene.

At this time,

Within the Taiyi Sect.

In an antique-looking room,

An elderly man was sitting in a chair with a small stove on a table beside him, emitting wisps of smoke.

The herbs burning in the small stove were of a kind that helped concentrate and calm the mind. They were very effective when used in conjunction with cultivation.

The old man, solemn in expression and occasionally furrowing his brow, was Qiu Zhongsheng, the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A series of knocks sounded from outside the room.

Qiu Zhongsheng said, "Come in."

A young man in his twenties entered respectfully; he was a disciple of Qiu Zhongsheng and also the junior brother of Fei Chao and He Kun.

"Is there any news?" Qiu Zhongsheng asked in a deep voice.

The disciple immediately replied, "Master, last night the Ji Family was not subsumed by the Gu Family, instead it was the Gu Family that was taken over by the Ji Family overnight."

After speaking, the disciple carefully observed his master's reaction.

Qiu Zhongsheng's withered palm clenched tightly into a fist. His two disciples, He Kun and Fei Chao had acted; the operation couldn't possibly have failed. After all, the Ji Family only had Old Uncle Zhong at the Acquired Stage.

Qiu Zhongsheng couldn't understand and thought to himself, "Where are your two senior brothers?"

The disciple anxiously shook his head and said, "Master, there's no news of the two seniors. The incident that occurred last night at the top floor of Ji's Auction House has been sealed off, and it seems quite a commotion was stirred up there."

Qiu Zhongsheng's face fluctuated between shades of light and dark, his two disciples were at the third layer of the Acquired State after all! A sudden bad premonition flickered through his mind.

However, he soon shook his head, finding the notion laughable. He was, after all, the Great Elder of the prestigious Taiyi Sect. So what if this issue came to light? He could cleanly deflect any blame.

Seeing that his master remained silent, the disciple reminded him, "Master, the Sect Leader wants you to be prepared. The Shi Family from the north are our guests. We cannot afford any mistakes in the celebration within the Taiyi Sect this time, or it will be a laughingstock to others."

Qiu Zhongsheng stood up from the chair, cast aside his thoughts, and said, "Let's go."

The Ji Family was merely a secular family. If they could not be made to comply this time, there would be other opportunities.

With that, he and the disciple left the room.
