Chapter 1070 - Already Prepared?
"What?" Zhang s.h.i.+zhao cried out in a low voice. Elder Yuan had always been focused on martial arts and medical skills, unlike him, who was entangled in worldly affairs. Therefore, in terms of strength, he was a few times stronger than him. For him to be injured, who exactly were these people?
"My Lord, I"m afraid Elder Yuan and the others won"t be able to hold on for long. You have to gather people immediately to save them." Another young man appeared, nimbly dismounted from his horse, caught Yuan Zhen, and pleaded with Zhang s.h.i.+zhao. They were all descendants of Golden Pill Sect and had grown up together in the courtyards of Heavenly Fragrance. They were as close as brothers. To see Elder Yuan injured made it difficult for others to resist holding back—they were burning with anxiety.
"Where are they? Take us there immediately," said Su Yizhi anxiously without waiting for Zhang s.h.i.+zhao to respond.
He had been in such a hurry to come to Kai Yuan City in order to meet the descendants of his fellow sect members. Who knew that he would hear such news the moment he step foot into the city? No one could blame him for being more anxious than Yuan Zhen and the others.
"I"ll lead the way." Zhang s.h.i.+zhao made a prompt decision. Without waiting for the young man to speak, he jumped off the carriage and ran forward.
Ling Chuxi waved her hand and her fingertip tapped repeatedly to stop Yuan Zhen"s bleeding. She then injected a gentle surge of True Qi into him. Yuan Zhen had only suffered superficial injuries and yet he had lost too much blood. The situation was urgent, so Ling Chuxi did not have time to give him a pill.
After treating Yuan Zhen"s injuries, Ling Chuxi, Su Yizhi, and the rest followed closely behind Zhang s.h.i.+zhao, heading towards Heavenly Fragrance Manor.
Everyone knew that the situation was critical, so they did not deliberately hide their strength as they surged forward—they circulated their True Qi and ran at full speed. One after another, figures shot out like lightning as their clothes fluttered in the wind.
Behind them, Yuan Zhen and the rest looked at the figures that they had pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye in shock. Who were these people? They were so powerful. Why hadn"t they seen them before?
"Could it be that the clan head had already antic.i.p.ated this and invited reinforcements in advance?" asked a young man in puzzlement.
"I don"t think so. Judging from his expression just now, he didn"t seem to have known about this at all." Another young man shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.
"Have you guys noticed that the movement and finger techniques they used are very similar to the martial arts and medical skills of our sect?" said Yuan Zhen suddenly.
He had lost too much blood earlier and was only able to hold on until the end by sheer conviction. When he fell of his horse, his consciousness had already started to fade. But as soon as True Qi surged into his Qi Ocean, his spirit immediately revived and he no longer felt the slightest bit of fatigue. Not only did his bleeding stop, but he also didn"t feel any pain at all. The cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling was actually indescribably comforting.
"Yeah, she seemed to be using our Seven Strings Finger Method just now, but it looked much more exquisite and mysterious. When I saw Elder Yuan and Clan Head Zhang fight last time, they were much weaker than her," said the young man from before in shock as he patted his head. "Could it be that she used one of our sect"s three lost branches of medical skills?"
He had guessed correctly. Ling Chuxi was using a skill of Golden Pill Sect"s three medical branches. But it wasn"t one of them. It was the Seven Strings Finger Method of the three medical branches. Obviously, it wasn"t something Elder Yuan"s or Zhang s.h.i.+zhao"s finger techniques could compare to.
"If that"s the case, then the descendants of the three lineages have returned to the Sacred Realm of the Sects. In other words, there is hope for our sect"s reconstruction," said a young man.
"Let"s not talk about this for now. Hurry, follow after them," said Yuan Zhen.. He was much more composed than the others, though he did look quite excited.
