"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<..."Father, you must not act rashly!"
Shi Wenshan forced himself to sit up. "The Pavilion Master of Lin Yin Pavilion is very likely a Foundation Establishment Realm expert. We need to ask Uncle to lead the county troops back so that we can have a chance to surround and kill Fang Han and Lin Xunhuan."
“Master, Wenshan’s words make sense.” Wen Min gently stroked Shi Yujiao’s hair, his eyes filled with worry. “Fang Han is not a threat, but the Lin Yin Pavilion is powerful. To deal with a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, our family’s Martial Grandmaster experts alone are far from enough. We must rely on a well-equipped army.”
Shi Tianyong paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, and then stomped his foot angrily: "Fine! I'll write a letter right now, ordering your uncle Shi Tianming to lead a thousand-man squad back to Yanming City and pay for the blood debt in blood!"
Shi Tianyong was extremely anxious and immediately ordered his men to carefully help Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao into the manor.
As the head of the family, Shi Tianyong not only possesses profound cultivation, but also has made significant achievements in medical skills.
He had someone bring over soft brocade cushions so that Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao could sit comfortably. Then, he circulated his inner energy, slowly reached out with both hands, and placed them on his children's bodies to examine them.
After a long while, Shi Tianyong withdrew his hands, his face full of solemnity.
Wen Min had been anxiously stamping her feet to the side. Seeing Shi Tianyong get up, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, how are Wenshan and Yujiao? Is there any hope for their recovery?"
In her heart, the inheritance of the Shi family's vast business is of utmost importance. What would happen to her if her children became useless?
Shi Tianyong sighed deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness and heartache: "Wenshan's dantian was completely shattered by someone using exquisite swordsmanship. To repair it, it would require the intervention of a Spirit Embryo Realm expert above the Yuan Dan Realm. But as far as I know, even the strongest experts in the three major sects of Tianyuan County—Longyuan Sword Sect, Wuji Sect, and Qingxuan Sect—are only at the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm, and there are no Spirit Embryo Realm experts among them. Therefore, it's basically impossible for Wenshan to repair his dantian in this lifetime. However, I can still find a way to repair his scapular injury. But from now on, he can only be an ordinary person who cannot cultivate."
After a pause, Shi Tianyong turned his gaze to Shi Yujiao: "As for Yujiao, her dantian and meridians are not damaged, only her arm is broken. If the severed arm could have been retrieved in time and a skilled practitioner had been found to reattach it, there might have been hope for it to be reattached. But now, the severed limb is nowhere to be found, and it is impossible to reattach it. However, if we can find a master alchemist to refine a Creation Pill, perhaps it can help her limb regenerate."
Upon hearing these words, Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Especially Shi Wenshan, whose face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
He knew that his path of cultivation had been completely severed, and that he could only live an ordinary life in the future. This disparity was hard for him to accept.
In contrast, Shi Yujiao was also sad, but the thought that she could still cultivate calmed her emotions somewhat.
"That damned Fang Han, that damned Gongsun Yaoqin, that damned Lin Xunhuan!"
Wen Min instantly flew into a rage, her murderous aura radiating outwards, as if the surrounding air had been frozen.
"I'll write a letter to my brother right away!"
A cold light flashed in Shi Tianyong's eyes, and his murderous aura surged like a turbulent tide.
Shi Tianyong wrote furiously, the ink spreading rapidly across the rice paper, and a letter filled with anger and revenge gradually took shape.
His gaze was piercing, his pen strokes sharp as knives; every word seemed to contain endless resentment, as if he wanted to convey the anger in his heart through this letter.
After finishing writing, Shi Tianyong carefully checked it to make sure it was correct before folding the letter.
Shi Wei took the letter with both hands, carefully placed it into a small bamboo tube, and then took out a specially made wax seal to tightly seal the mouth of the bamboo tube.
Then he went into the courtyard and took a well-trained bluebird from the bird stand.
The bluebird's feathers were a vibrant green, and its eyes were bright and sharp. It was obediently preening its feathers in Shi Wei's hands.
Shi Wei securely tied the bamboo tube to the bluebird's leg.
This bluebird can fly a thousand miles a day, while Guyue City and Tianyuan County are only a few hundred miles apart.
If all goes well, Shi Tianyong's younger brother, Shi Tianming, should receive the letter around noon.
As a trusted lieutenant of Commandant Guo Tianyi, Shi Tianming could easily mobilize a thousand county soldiers, given his position and connections in the army.
Shi Tianyong thought to himself that with these thousand county soldiers, no matter how powerful Fang Han and Lin Yin Pavilion were, they would be riddled with holes by the military's powerful crossbows.
At Shi Wei's command, the bluebird flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
After arranging the delivery of the message, Shi Tianyong turned to his subordinates and instructed them, "Take the young master and young lady to their room and find the best maids to take good care of them."
After a moment of contemplation, he picked up a pen and wrote down several prescriptions, handing them to a servant: "Go to the pharmacy immediately and get the medicine according to the prescriptions, without making any mistakes!"
After dealing with these matters, Shi Tianyong immediately ordered the gathering of the Shi family's experts.
Before long, the area around the Shi family's martial arts arena was filled with serious-looking martial artists, numbering at least a hundred.
After Shi Tianyong explained that Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao had been crippled, the eyes of these people revealed a strong killing intent.
"Patriarch! This matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"
Shi Tianyong's cousin, Shi Xiu, clenched his fists and said indignantly, "Fang Han and Gongsun Yaoqin dared to humiliate our Shi family like this. This time, we will definitely skin them alive and raze Lin Yin Pavilion to the ground!"
The crowd echoed in agreement, and a roar of anger resounded across the training ground, as the flames of revenge burned fiercely in everyone's hearts.
"Gentlemen, I advise you not to act rashly."
