Chapter 1295 The Edge of the Heartland, Dangerous!
Wu Kaiyu had white hair, thinning hair on top, and a face full of wrinkles, making him look old and frail. Yet, his cloudy eyes held a vibrant, ever-changing life force.
He wore a green robe, which was embroidered with various herbs. These herbs were spiritual, and their divine light surged, as if they had come alive. They surrounded the void like stars surrounding the moon, enveloping Wu Kaiyu.
Accompanied by golden-armored guards, Wu Kaiyu stood with his hands behind his back, his feet treading on the void, and in a few steps, he appeared beside Qin Tiangong as if by teleportation.
"You're so badly injured? Who did this?"
Wu Kaiyu narrowed his eyes, and green ripples carrying the fragrance of herbs and trees continuously spread from his body, enveloping Qin Tiangong. A moment later, Qin Tiangong was shocked.
"Xiao Chen! I went to kill him, but I was injured instead. A wisp of sword energy is clinging to my body like a maggot. I tried my best, but I still couldn't get rid of it. Please, Elder Wu, help me!"
Upon seeing Wu Kaiyu, Qin Tiangong rose slowly and gave a slight bow.
Wu Kaiyu is a renowned medicine master who specializes in medicine and holds a high position in the Qin family.
Qin Tiangong was quite respectful in front of him and dared not lie!
"Xiao Chen? When did the Azure Spirit Domain gain such a young sword immortal!"
Wu Kaiyu frowned, momentarily unable to recall Xiao Chen's background. He was devoted to medicine and did not concern himself with worldly affairs, so he knew nothing about Xiao Chen.
Qin Tiangong's face was flushed, as if dripping blood, and he gritted his teeth as he revealed Xiao Chen's identity.
"What? That young sword immortal comes from the Great Xia?" Wu Kaiyu was astonished.
Even if he was indifferent to worldly affairs, he had heard of the infamous reputation of the Qingling Domain as a disgrace, and knew that the Great Xia was a small border dynasty, insignificant in the eyes of the Qiankun Dynasty!
He had assumed that Qin Tiangong had been injured by some extraordinary, peerless star, but who would have thought that the assailant was actually a lowly commoner from the Great Xia Dynasty!
"Da Xia, Xiao Chen?"
Beside him, the golden-armored guard who had been ordered to invite Wu Kaiyu trembled violently, utterly horrified.
Unlike the other golden-armored guard, this guard named Yu Rui was not tall, about 1.65 meters, with a broad chest, and was short and stocky.
Originally, Yu Rui, like the other golden-armored guard, believed that Qin Tiangong was injured by a certain divine genius who was listed on the Azure Spirit Star Ranking.
Who would have thought that the assailant was a lowly commoner who had just left office!
Qin Tiangong sat upright on the stone chair, his head bowed, his face dejected, and he remained silent. His expression was grim, as if he had just eaten a dead rat.
Wu Kaiyu and Yu Rui's reactions made his already embarrassing situation even worse!
"Young master, please relax and I will heal your wounds right away!"
Wu Kaiyu noticed Qin Tiangong's predicament, quickly suppressed his surprise, and stepped forward to speak.
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Wu!" Qin Tiangong cupped his hands in greeting.
Wu Kaiyu nodded, extended his withered and aged palm, which glowed and spewed forth green runes, and used an astonishing secret technique to heal Qin Tiangong's injuries.
As Wu Kaiyu's palm approached, a silver vortex appeared on Qin Tiangong's body amidst the surging green mist.
One vortex after another condensed, covering its entire body, swirling with ghostly mist.
"Silver Whirlwind Healing Technique!"
Beside him, two golden-armored guards were horrified. It was the first time they had seen Wu Kaiyu use such a legendary divine technique, and both of them were quite shocked.
The Silver Spin Healing Technique is an ancient and wondrous art within the medical tradition.
Using the Dao as a guide and Qi as medicine, the wondrous power of heaven and earth is transformed into a vortex of medicinal spirit to nourish the body, dispel illness, and eliminate misfortune.
Soon, under the medicinal light emanating from the silver vortex, the purple light clinging to Qin Tiangong's body vanished, and his bloody wounds began to heal.
Before long, the scabs fell off, and Qin Tiangong's injuries had mostly healed.
"Old Wu's Silver Whirlwind Healing Technique is truly miraculous! In such a short time, the Divine Child's injuries have been mostly healed!" Yu Rui exclaimed in astonishment.
He had long heard that Wu Kaiyu was a skilled doctor with miraculous healing abilities, but today was the first time he had witnessed it firsthand.
Although Yu Rui was the Martial King, a figure revered like a god in the hearts of countless mortals, in the Qin family, he was merely a lowly guard.
Yu Rui had no way of getting close to someone as high-ranking as Wu Kaiyu.
A moment later, Wu Kaiyu withdrew his palm, the green glow and silver light dissipated, and Qin Tiangong's pale face immediately regained some color, and his breathing became much more stable.
“Divine Child, I have removed the sword aura that was attached to you. After a few days of rest, your injuries should be healed!” Wu Kaiyu said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Wu!"
"Well, I still have some medicinal herbs to refine in my residence, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Take care, Mr. Wu!"
Soon, Wu Kaiyu got up and left, disappearing outside the palace gates.
"Divine Child, should we report this matter to the family?" Yu Rui bowed slightly.
"No, remember this, this matter must be kept to yourself, and you must never tell anyone!" Qin Tiangong said.
Not long ago, the battle report mechanism disappeared, and the Shadow Stone can no longer connect to the God and Demon Battlefield.
The Qin family should not yet know that he was defeated by Xiao Chen. This matter is too shameful, and he really does not want to report it to avoid being ridiculed.
The more prestigious and ancient a clan is, the more deeply entrenched and divided its members are.
If people knew that he couldn't even kill a lowly commoner who had just finished his court session, they would definitely laugh their heads off.
Moreover, his lineage has several formidable enemies within the clan.
These people were watching him like ancient, ferocious beasts, and if he made a mistake, he might face annihilation!
Yu Rui and another golden-armored guard were his confidants. Wu Kaiyu was focused on alchemy and did not concern himself with worldly affairs. Only the three of them knew about it, so there was not much of a problem, and it was highly unlikely that it would be leaked.
Actually, Qin Tiangong didn't want to tell Wu Kaiyu the truth just now, but a doctor cannot be deceived. He was afraid that if he concealed the truth, it would affect Wu Kaiyu's treatment, so he told him everything.
“Divine Child, Xiao Chen’s talent is so extraordinary. If we don’t tell the family the truth, won’t something bad happen?” Yu Rui asked hesitantly.
"A mere commoner who has fallen from grace is like an ant before my Qiankun Battle Group. What could he possibly do? Don't forget who the leader of Qiankun is!"
Qin Tiangong shook his head. Xiao Chen was amazing, but in front of Qin Qiankun, he was still no match for him, like an ant.
"That's right, with the Divine Child of Heaven and Earth here, we can conquer the Azure Spirit Domain!"
Thinking of Qin Qiankun, Yu Rui felt at ease.
"Once I disappear, the Qiankun Battle Group will definitely seek revenge on Xiao Chen. At that time, Xiao Chen will surely die and be reduced to ashes!"
Qin Qiankun rose from the stone chair and looked out of the hall, his gaze cold and piercing.
……
at the same time.
In a dark, ancient forest, Xiao Chen's eyes were shrouded in purple mist as he scanned his surroundings and headed southeast.
Along the way, monsters roamed freely, ferocious plants stood tall, and eerie roars rang out from time to time, shaking the mountains and forests.
Not far away, ancient trees reach for the sky, their shade blocking out the sun.
In the shadows, dozens of pairs of dazzling beastly eyes peered out, some as bright as golden lamps, some as brilliant as the silver moon, and some as red as blood, which was extremely terrifying.
"As expected of the edge of the heartland, even a random demon here is far more terrifying than those on the outskirts!"
Xiao Chen frowned. Based on the faint telepathic connection unique to members of the same battle group, he was certain that the Twin Dragons of Daofeng Mountain were still alive and nearby.
The ten dynasties were extraordinary and were assigned to the heartland as soon as they entered the battlefield of gods and demons. The reason why Qin Tiangong chose to meet him here was probably because he did not want to be too far away from the Qiankun camp.
However, the closer you get to the heart of the territory, the higher the risk becomes.
The ferocious beasts that dwell in the heartland are highly sacred, far surpassing the demons in the outer areas!
