Shen Yun's mind was in a mess, so much so that he almost relied on muscle memory to quickly tear off the teleportation talisman and go to the Medical Peak, where he grabbed the bewildered Medical Peak elder and teleported him back.
After that, he was no longer involved.
Watching a group of disciples from the Medical Peak bustling about, Shen Yun stood in a secluded spot for a long while before finally coming to his senses.
It's a shame that he hesitated at the door for so long before pushing it open, but when he came in, he didn't even have a chance to say a single word to Qi Yuan.
After examining the injury, Elder Yifeng seemed unable to determine what kind of injury the sect leader had suffered.
The symptoms are similar to vomiting blood and fainting due to sudden internal heat. In this case, acupuncture combined with spiritual energy can clear the blood stasis in the patient's heart and restore consciousness.
Strangely, the treatment had no effect on Qi Yuan. The old man vomited blood twice, and his complexion worsened in his unconscious state.
This made Elder Feng of the Medical Peak dare not act rashly again. He could only adopt a conservative treatment, continuously infusing small amounts of spiritual energy, hoping to maintain his bodily functions while stimulating him to wake up.
"Regarding the Sect Master's illness, we're afraid we'll have to seek help from alchemists from other sects," Elder Yifeng said gravely to the other elders present. "My expertise is insufficient to determine the cause of his illness."
While the elders over there were discussing where they should seek help, Shen Yun remained silent on the other side.
They were all worried about how to treat Qi Yuan, but Shen Yun was thinking about who had done this to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan is quite powerful. He entered the Refinement Void Realm many years ago. In today's cultivation world, there are very few people who can harm him.
Not to mention, this person even passed through the layers of protective defenses of the Yuncang Sword Sect and walked all the way into the cave dwelling set up with Qi Yuan's unique barrier formation.
—It seems obvious that there is only one suspect.
Their young sect leader, Qi Fengyu.
Although there is no evidence, his motives are quite strong.
If anyone realizes something is wrong and wants to remove the Soul Lamp to forcibly find Qi Fengyu's location, they will have to go through Qi Yuan.
If Qi Fengyu wants to prevent this crisis, the only thing he can do is to shut Qi Yuan up.
Putting him into a coma is undoubtedly the best option.
If this were placed in the eyes of others, or even Shen Yun a few days ago, it would sound like an utterly unbelievable thing.
From everyone's perspective, Qi Fengyu is the child left behind by Qi Yuan's deceased mortal Daoist partner. Over the years, there has been no news of that partner's family contacting the Yun Cang Sword Sect. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Qi Yuan is the only relative he currently has in the world.
No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't have harmed his own family.
But Shen Yun had just seen this in Ji Mo Fan's memories, which shouldn't be the case.
Elder Zhao.
Elder Zhao Zhiliang of Qifeng, who was discussing with the person next to him, was suddenly called by name by Shen Yun. He turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Elder Shen?"
Shen Yun's question was also straightforward: "Elder Zhao, do you have a way to remove my soul lamp from the peach and plum tree without going through Master?"
He had originally thought that Zhao Zhiliang would ask him why he would ask such a question, but Zhao Zhiliang simply nodded calmly, "Well, the situation is special now, and it is necessary to notify the young sect leader to come back. We can't let him continue to cause trouble outside."
Shen Yun opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Zhao Zhiliang even came up with a reason for himself, which is quite good.
The peach and plum tree is ultimately a product of weapon crafting. Although Zhao Zhiliang was not the one who created it, he understood the intricacies of the craft to some extent.
"Once the soul lamp is hung, it will fall off the treetop on its own when the disciple dies. Otherwise, the only other situation is when the original person who hung it dies, and then the disciple will have the key to take it down."
Shen Yun frowned. "But none of the current young sect leaders meet these criteria..."
“There is another way to forcibly remove the lamp.” Zhao Zhiliang held up a finger. “That is to directly break the soul lamp hanging on the top, which can also release the imprisoned soul inside.”
"However, this method could easily damage the soul of one of them. I don't think the situation is that urgent yet, after all, the sect leader is only unconscious..."
"I'm going to take a look at Taoli Hall." Before Zhao Zhiliang could finish speaking, Shen Yun had already turned around, stepped on his sword and rode the wind, his figure flying over the courtyard wall towards Taoli Hall.
Zhao Zhiliang paused for a moment, scratched his head, and then decided to chase after them.
Regardless of Shen Yun's choice, the one who will suffer the most damage will be either himself or the young sect leader, and it will have little to do with him, the elder of the Weapon Peak.
However, since he is the one who maintains the peach and plum trees, it is only natural for him to go and take a look.
Two figures landed one after the other in front of the Peach and Plum Hall of the Yuncang Sword Sect. Shen Yun sheathed his sword and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, looking up at the blue light and shadow of the continuous peach and plum trees, searching for the lamp that belonged to Qi Fengyu.
"Over there," Zhao Zhiliang pointed for him.
Shen Yun followed his finger and saw a soul lamp with faint water ripple patterns flowing on its outer glass surface at the end of the extended line.
He flew to the treetop and looked down, and sure enough, he saw Qi Fengyu's name at the bottom of the soul lamp.
The soul lamp was fixed in place by the branches of the peach and plum tree, which were intertwined and tightly bound together. If one wanted to remove it in an abnormal way, it would definitely be impossible to open it without damaging the tree or the lamp.
"Elder Shen, if you insist on taking it down, be careful not to hit the peach and plum tree with your attack." Zhao Zhiliang stood under the tree, cupping his hands to his face like a megaphone as he shouted to Shen Yun.
Shen Yun hesitated for a moment.
Then he reached out and, the instant he touched Qi Fengyu's soul lamp, a small array immediately bloomed from his fingertips.
*
Qi Fengyu has been away from the Yuncang Sword Sect for several days.
For some time now, he had been pretending to be seriously injured, which allowed him to obtain a lot of rare and precious treasures, finally giving him the confidence to leave the sect on his own.
To his shame, he has never gone out alone in his entire life.
Even in his past life, which only existed in his memory, it was only after he and Ji Mofan held a Daoist couple ceremony that his body regained some color under the conditioning of his inner core, and he broke through the Foundation Establishment stage that had confined him for nearly ten years in a short period of time.
As it turned out, his days of freedom didn't last long before he was suddenly brought back to reality.
He's not even the original version; his current condition is even worse than it was at this time in his previous life.
