Take the pill
Didn't Feng Gui succeed in his sneak attack last time?
How could he have suffered such a severe injury this time? His abdomen was almost pierced through. Blood soaked through his clothes.
"There's no time to explain, quickly treat her wounds," said the person who carried Feng Gui back, taking out medicinal herbs, crushing them, and applying them to the wounds.
Seeing the panicked state of everyone, Wen Zheng took out the pills she had bought earlier and fed them to Feng Gui.
She couldn't buy good medicine when she was broke, but after feeding it to her, the bleeding finally stopped.
Remembering Elder Ye from the Medicine Immortal Valley who lived next door, Wen Zheng said to the others, "You all help her heal her injuries first, and I'll go get some pills."
After saying that, she hurriedly ran out the door and bumped into Mu Qing, who happened to be returning.
The moment their eyes met, Mu Qing quickly asked, "Where are we going?"
They just severely injured Shan Fengyu, and if Wen Zheng goes out now, she is very likely to be caught by Shan Fengyu who will come back to kill her.
Urged to save lives, Wen Zheng answered as she walked, "Go find Elder Ye and get some healing pills."
The moment her foot crossed the threshold, Mu Qing grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't go yet, Elder Ye hasn't returned."
Wen Zheng turned to look at him and asked, "You've been there?"
Mu Qing shook her head and explained, "Elder Ye went to deal with Shan Fengyu with us tonight."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zheng looked at him sharply, then turned to look at Elder Ye's residence, which was pitch black, indicating that he had not yet returned.
After considering Mu Qing and Feng Gui's character, they shouldn't be capable of abandoning Elder Ye.
However, Wen Zheng didn't ask Elder Ye why he went along. Instead, she asked Mu Qing for a few pills that were good for treating wounds, and then turned and went into the house.
Feng Gui's wounds had healed considerably with the help of the others. After taking the medicine Wen Zheng had brought back, she fully woke up and asked, "Where am I?"
Wen Zheng leaned closer and said, "My place."
Feng Gui's expression softened as she lay flat on the bed, coughed lightly twice, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Wen Zheng hurriedly went out to fetch water to help her, and also cleaned her wounds and asked about the source of the wounds.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Shan Wuxiu's cultivation level couldn't possibly have injured you so deeply. Could it be that Shan Fengyu helped you?"
Feng Gui shook her head, "I don't know, but I'm afraid my injury won't heal anytime soon."
With the abdomen pierced, even the best healing medicine will require bed rest for a period of time.
"You rest first. I'll ask Elder Ye for the pills after she returns." Wen Zheng tucked her in and turned to leave.
Outside, Elder Ye stood in the courtyard, talking to Mu Qing.
When Wen Zheng saw her return, she went over and asked her for some medicine: "Give me some healing medicine, you name the price."
She hasn't spent all the money she won from the betting.
Elder Ye handed the pills to Wen Zheng with a grim expression, then turned to Mu Qing and said, "You said that Shan Wuxiu injured Feng Gui?"
"impossible!"
Her almost shouting made Wen Zheng pause in her tracks, her gaze falling on the two of them, and she asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Mu Qing rubbed her temples and sighed, saying, "I told her about Feng Gui's injury, but she just wouldn't believe me."
He and several others witnessed Feng Gui being injured. If one person was wrong, surely everyone could be wrong.
Elder Ye explained his disbelief: "I chased the black bird all the way to the Discipline Hall where Shan Wuxiu was. When I fought with the black bird, I accidentally injured Shan Wuxiu. I watched him die with my own eyes."
She also said that after she fed Shan Wuxiu the pills, he showed no reaction and his life force was indeed cut off.
Elder Ye is, after all, a pharmacist from the Medicine Immortal Valley; he would never make a mistake in diagnosis.
Her certainty was met with Mu Qing's silence. She looked up several times as if to speak, but then hesitated and swallowed her words.
Wen Zheng watched as the two held their own opinions, pursed her lips, took the pills, turned around and went into the house to treat Feng Gui's injuries.
Outside the Guanghua Hall.
The elders in charge of the Thousand Saints Palace all gathered around, and when they saw the Palace Master in such a disheveled state, they couldn't believe it.
Turning their heads, they saw the ruins of the Radiant Hall and gasped in shock. One elder immediately asked, "Who did this?"
They injured the Palace Master so badly and destroyed the Guanghua Palace.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Sitting on the ruins, Shan Fengyu's expression was frighteningly cold. He slowly said, "Feng Gui colluded with the Demon Clan and issued an arrest warrant for the Immortal Sect."
Originally, we wanted to keep Feng Gui for the clan leader and the others, but now it seems we don't need to. There are so many people in the Thousand Saints Palace, it should be enough for the clan to eat.
"Yes," the elders replied.
Dan Fengyu glanced in the direction of Baiku Peak and said to the elders, "Find an auspicious day to repair Guanghua Hall. I will go to Wuxiu's cave to stay for a while."
"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the elders hurriedly ran back to find people to rebuild the Guanghua Hall.
Dan Wuxiu stood quietly to the side until Dan Fengyu got up and walked towards his cave, then he stepped forward to help him up.
The two walked slowly toward the cave. Along the way, Shan Fengyu's face was grim. The black bird, residing in Shan Wuxiu's body, dared not utter a sound.
After the two returned to their cave, Shan Fengyu sealed the door and asked coldly, "Where is Shan Wuxiu?"
He could no longer sense Shan Wuxiu's spirit.
The oppressive questioning came at him, and Blackbird's legs went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground. His eyes darted around as if he were trying to think of an excuse.
Dan Fengyu let out a cold laugh, picked up the spiritual fruit on the table, and threw it at him with such force that it swelled up his forehead.
"Speak up, do I have to ask you to?"
The questioning voice fell again, and Blackbird finally couldn't help but raise his head and say in a strained voice, "Father, listen to me."
The shrill voice gave Shan Fengyu goosebumps, but this time he didn't feel cold; instead, he laughed.
I laughed out of anger.
"Do you want to die?" Shan Fengyu looked at him with icy eyes, and Blackbird became completely obedient, no longer daring to play tricks.
“I ran out to find Shan Wuxiu to help me, but someone followed me. We fought, and Shan Wuxiu was accidentally injured and died.”
Blackbird briefly explained the situation, concealing the fact that Shan Wuxiu had died at his hands.
After he finished speaking, he cautiously looked up at Shan Fengyu, trying to guess whether he was angry or not.
The cave was eerily quiet. After listening to the whole story, Shan Fengyu remained silent, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes.
He genuinely wanted to kill Blackbird to quell his inner rage. Such a fool had actually killed the person he was about to possess, and who knew when the next person to possess would appear.
His body has reached its limit and is about to give out.
Killing Blackbird now wouldn't help, and it would even make him one less ally. Actually, Blackbird becoming Shan Wuxiu wouldn't be such a bad thing; he could help him get rid of Wen Zheng.
Then we'll pin the blame on Blackbird and kill him.
Thinking of this, Shan Fengyu's anger subsided by a third, and he said in a cold voice, "Get out, and come back when you've gotten used to this body."
Blackbird raised its head and gave a bright smile: "Alright, I'll get lost now."
He quickly got up and ran out, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Inside the cave, only Shan Fengyu remained, pondering what to do next.
Despite Feng Gui's betrayal and the news of Shan Fengyu's injury, the Immortal Sect Grand Competition was even suspended for five days to allow the elders of the Thousand Saints Palace to search the entire palace.
Feng Gui was seriously injured and couldn't run far. The elders who came to search were very confident that they would find him soon. However, after searching the entire Thousand Saints Palace three or four times without finding him, they were discouraged.
When they went to report back to Shan Fengyu, their heads were almost touching the ground.
Dan Fengyu showed no surprise, but asked another question: "Did you search Wen Zheng's place?"
The group exchanged glances and replied, "We searched five or six times, but couldn't find it."
"Okay, you guys go back first." Shan Fengyu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
After everyone left, Shan Wuxiu came in. With the five-day buffer period, he had mastered the body and even bowed when he saw Shan Fengyu.
"Father," the blackbird called out obsequiously.
When Shan Fengyu heard him shout like that, his brow twitched, and he said sternly, "If you shout like that again, I'll kill you."
Blackbird smiled and nodded, "Okay, boss."
After Shan Fengyu waited until the black bird returned to normal, he said, "Tomorrow is the Immortal Sect Competition. I've arranged for you to fight Wen Zheng. Find a way to kill her at all costs."
Upon hearing this, Blackbird said, "The Jianmu sapling she took doesn't have a suppressive effect on you and me?"
These words were spoken by Shan Fengyu.
"Heh." Shan Fengyu sneered, took out a magic artifact and gave it to him, saying, "A soft armor made of the scales of a demon lizard dragon. It can conceal your aura and will not be suppressed."
Moreover, the power of the Jianmu seedling is great. As long as Wen Zheng takes it out, he will definitely be able to feel it. But he has waited for so long and still hasn't seen it. He wonders what she is doing.
Time was running out, and Shan Fengyu was too lazy to wait any longer. He let the blackbird completely eliminate Wen Zheng, and the Jianmu seedlings would also lose their effect.
Blackbird took the lizard armor, his smile fading slightly, and replied, "Understood."
After arranging the rest of the matter, Shan Fengyu felt much better. After sending the black bird away, he closed his eyes to rest.
In the small courtyard.
Wen Zheng opened the small door hidden in the wardrobe and brought Feng Gui out to rest on the bed.
The search team has left and will not be returning.
"Are you alright?" Wen Zheng asked softly as she applied fresh medicine to her wound.
Feng Gui lay on the bed and shook her head. Her injuries had healed considerably, but she still felt pain. What was even more distressing was that Shan Fengyu accused her of colluding with the demons and rebelling.
He himself is a demon, unclean and filthy.
After Wen Zheng changed her dressing, she could tell what was on her face and comforted her, "You should recover first, and then we'll figure out how to expose Shan Fengyu's true colors."
The cultivation world's esteem for the Thousand Saints Palace reached its peak, and the words of Shan Fengyu, as the palace master, carried considerable weight; no one would question them.
If Feng Gui were to jump out now and say that Shan Fengyu is a demon, the people of the Immortal Sect would definitely kill Feng Gui first before investigating the truth.
After all, such a thing is too terrifying. If it were true, it would be a disaster for the cultivation world.
Feng Gui nodded while lying down, and said while holding Wen Zheng's hand, "Yunhe sent a message saying that Shan Fengyu arranged for Shan Wuxiu to fight you, and most likely he wants to kill you."
After discussion, everyone agreed that Shan Wuxiu was dead, and that he was most likely possessed by an evil spirit that Shan Fengyu had found.
Tomorrow's competition will definitely be extremely dangerous, and I don't know if Wen Zheng's life-saving magic items will be enough.
Wen Zheng smiled and patted her hand, saying, "It's alright, I have a way to deal with Shan Wuxiu, and I can also expose Shan Fengyu's true colors in front of everyone."
Feng Gui was well aware of the obstacles to succeeding in this endeavor, and pulled her aside to advise her, "Don't rush this matter. Let me recover from my injuries before we think of a solution."
Wen Zheng smiled and responded, then spoke for a while before turning and leaving the house.
Walking into the pavilion, she took out the box she had retrieved from the dry well, took out the pills inside, and swallowed them in one gulp.
The moment of life and death is here.
She and Shan Fengyu also need to make a clean break.
