Lu Jiangting was startled by the sudden appearance of the head.
However, because of the blow from the little grass child, his body had not yet recovered and he did not dodge immediately. When his body subconsciously tried to use magic to repel the souls in front of him, he remembered that they had all been protected by the Tiangang Sect.
"Please move back a bit. It's hard for me to talk to you like this."
Fang Ruotang covered her mouth and peeked, absolutely denying that Lu Jiangting had suspected her earlier, and that she was now deliberately retaliating against him, accidentally creating a domain.
Well... if the space is too small, won't it get crowded when there are a lot of people?
Qin Hongyan stood aside, seeing that his surroundings were unaffected, reached out and tentatively touched him, then glanced at Fang Ruotang, and tactfully took a step back.
He decided not to get involved.
After all, his current body is no different from a flickering candle in the wind.
They couldn't withstand such friendly care from their sect leader.
Lu Jiangting wasn't stupid. He was the only one who was squeezed in the middle, while his senior brother and the sect leader were fine. He could easily see through the situation.
Even so, he did not discover that his family's exceptionally talented sect leader had easily established a domain right under his nose.
However, this did not affect his willingness to sincerely admit his mistakes.
"Sect Master, I was wrong. I'll never be so sharp-tongued again. Please forgive me!"
He was a grown man, and now he was face-to-face with a strange man. He felt like throwing up! Not only that, but he was surrounded by spirits from all sides.
He just wanted to know, what's going on here!
Can't we at least maintain normal social distancing between people?
Fang Ruotang retaliated in a small way, her eyes crinkling as she released her domain. Her soul, being weightless, quickly drifted away. The one who had just been cheek-to-cheek with Lu Jiangting happened to recognize him.
"Sect Leader Lu, I can cultivate now too."
Lu Jiangting chuckled and said in a very perfunctory manner, "That's great! Congratulations."
"Yes, yes, we have a good sect leader. Thank you, Sect Leader Lu! If it weren't for your choice, we wouldn't be living such a good life now."
This person is clearly not good at speaking.
A single, honest remark pierced Lu Jiangting's heart.
A sect that had stood for thousands of years was destroyed just like that. He led the remaining disciples to join other sects. Is this something to be proud of?
Lu Jiangting was exhausted and unable to speak any further.
But the people of Gudong County are different.
Although only a few of them had the good fortune to have met Lu Jiangting, none of the others had ever seen him.
But this doesn't affect the fact that these people feel closer to the Tiangang Sect, since they were born in this area and have known since childhood that this area is under the jurisdiction of the Tiangang Sect.
Now, as he excitedly tells Lu Jiangting these things, it's like he's just graduated from high school and is going back to the academy to share the good news with his teacher.
Lu Jiangting had no choice but to give a perfunctory response.
Fang Ruotang chuckled twice, not letting them chat any longer. After all, they were all fragile souls, easily burned by the sunlight. If she hadn't secretly set up a barrier and released yin energy, they wouldn't be so comfortable.
The people of Gudong County disappeared, leaving only emptiness before their eyes.
Fang Ruotang raised her chin, "See! That's the situation. Don't think too badly of me. It's not like I'm deliberately taking their souls into the Human Emperor Banner. I'm not the kind of person who would force others to become brothers in the Human Emperor Banner just to improve their cultivation."
Lu Jiangting was amused by Fang Ruotang's description, but he also apologized sincerely.
"I was being petty just now. I shouldn't have done that. I promise it won't happen again."
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. You have to trust my character."
Fang Ruotang patted his chest, standing ramrod straight, almost as if he wanted to write the words "good person" on his forehead.
After this matter was over, Lu Jiangting asked about the fate of the evil cultivator.
Fang Ruotang spread her hands and said, "The nascent soul left my body and ran away, but my shadow has already chased after it. However, the nascent soul's teleportation speed is fast, so it's not easy to catch. You all know that. In addition, I even put the old Taoist into the Human Emperor Banner, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't recall the nascent soul."
Fang Ruotang had also thought of this.
After all, once the nascent soul escapes, it can simply start over in a different body; he has three bodies to raise anyway.
If one were to recall the Nascent Soul cultivator for the sake of a temporary solution, but still be unable to defeat them, that would be a truly hopeless situation.
"You destroyed the old Taoist's physical body?"
"yes!"
"His nascent soul must have been severely damaged as well. Under such circumstances, he was still able to escape your pursuit. It can only be said that this person is very cunning. He had already planned an escape route before the battle started, just in case."
Fang Ruotang nodded.
She lost track of her shadow several times. If it weren't for the little mirror guiding the shadow with her guidance, the shadow would be like a headless fly, wandering aimlessly somewhere.
"It's alright, I can find him anyway. No matter how big the matter is, he can hide for a while, but can he hide forever?"
Fang Ruotang was full of confidence, with the composure of letting the enemy run thirty-nine meters ahead before she drew her forty-meter-long cleaver.
Lu Jiangting didn't inquire much about Fang Ruotang's methods. Qin Hongyan finished his meditation and briefly treated his injuries.
Fang Ruotang couldn't bear to look at him so sickly and ordered, "Sit down, I'll treat your injuries."
Qin Hongyan's eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not refuse. He sat down and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master."
He heard that the sect leader had healed Elder Wen and the others.
He didn't think about why the sect leader wouldn't heal him or beg the sect leader to help him. After all, although his injuries were severe, he was currently using miraculous medicines and was slowly recovering; it was just a matter of time.
Therefore, he wouldn't have any objections if the sect leader didn't heal him, and he wouldn't refuse if the sect leader did heal him. After all, people who once stood in high positions are really not used to stepping down from their pedestals and becoming such a helpless person.
"My little darling!" Huo Zhige suddenly moved in front of Fang Ruotang, grabbed her hand, and said seriously, "No, his injuries are too severe. If you try to heal him, you will be injured in return."
"No way! I'm very careful right now, you can trust me."
She didn't know how to control the power within her body before, but now it's different; she doesn't need to completely heal someone in one go.
If he's almost fully recovered, then give him some more medication and let him recuperate in seclusion for a month or so, wouldn't that be enough?
Qin Hongyan looked up in surprise when he heard that the healing would have a backlash, but he immediately responded.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. My injury is nothing serious; I just need to rest and recover."
"That won't do. The sect is short-handed right now and doesn't have time to let you properly recover. Sit down and stop talking nonsense."
Fang Ruotang raised her hand and pressed her spiritual power onto Qin Hongyan's shoulder, then pushed him back down. She then channeled her spiritual power into his body, secretly adding a trace of her original power as it circulated within him to heal his injuries.
