Chapter 147: Don’t Let Them Die in Greenwood Sect
“Elder Luo, there are Outer Sect disciples here to visit.”

Elder Luo was lying lazily on a reclining chair with his eyes closed, pretending to nap. When he heard the reporting disciple’s words, he asked unhurriedly: “Disciples from which sect?”

“They are two senior brothers from Five Elements Dao Sect.”

“Hm, people from Five Elements Dao Sect again?”

Elder Luo opened his eyes in surprise.

It was not like Five Elements Dao Sect disciples had never come to visit Greenwood Sect before, but it was rare to have them come twice in a row like this.

He was still puzzled when the disciple urged him anxiously: “Elder Luo, you should hurry over and take a look. Those two senior brothers are in very bad shape. It looks like they are about to die.”

Elder Luo’s eyes widened.

About to die?

No, no. People from Five Elements Dao Sect absolutely could not die on Greenwood Sect’s territory.

The disciple who had brought the news only saw a blur. When he looked back into the courtyard, the only thing left was the reclining chair still swaying gently.

Elder Luo rushed to the mountain gate. The gatekeeping disciples almost burst into tears when they saw him: “Elder Luo, you are finally here.”

“What exactly is going on?”

“Elder Luo, you should look at their condition first.”

One disciple stepped forward and led Elder Luo into a wooden hut nearby.

The moment Elder Luo saw the two people lying side by side on the wooden bed, his face darkened.

With his experience, he did not even need to use his divine sense to see that the two of them were poisoned, and poisoned very badly.

Elder Luo did not bother asking any more questions. He hurriedly took out two pills from his storage space and had them take the medicine first. At the same time, he sent spirit power into their bodies to help dissolve the pills’ effects and said to the disciple behind him: “Hurry and invite Elder Lian from the Alchemy Hall. Hurry!”

“Yes.”

The disciple also knew how urgent the situation was. After agreeing loudly, he immediately ran toward Pill Peak.

Looking down at the two men whose faces were shrouded in deathly qi, Elder Luo could not help feeling emotional.

Although he did not know what they had gone through, the fact that they had managed to reach Greenwood Sect to ask for help despite being so heavily poisoned meant that their lives were not meant to end yet.

This time, Five Elements Dao Sect would owe them a huge favor.

The Young Sect Master’s test was about to begin, so Elder Lian had not gone into seclusion to refine pills these past few days and arrived quickly.

On the way, the disciple had already explained the whole situation to Elder Lian. Therefore, when she entered the wooden hut, she did not ask a single question. She went straight up to check the two men’s conditions.

After a long while, she pulled her hand back, her expression solemn.

Pointing at Fang Cheng Lang on the right, she said: “Although this one is heavily poisoned and also has external injuries, as long as he takes the right detoxification pills and recuperates properly, he will fully recover within a month.”

Elder Luo nodded. That was his judgment as well. If it had only been this man, he would not have troubled Elder Lian. He could have saved him on his own. The one he was unsure about was the other man.

“As for this one…” Elder Lian frowned slightly. “He has more than seven different poisons in his body. Their toxicity is mixed together and has already penetrated deep into his organs. To completely cure him will be far, far too difficult.”

Elder Lian was the Head Elder of the Alchemy Hall and Mu Ye’s master. If even she found this illness tricky, then it would be completely hopeless in anyone else’s hands.

Elder Luo did not doubt Elder Lian’s judgment at all. He sighed: “Let’s focus on keeping him alive first.”

For cultivators, as long as they could stay alive, there was always a chance to defy heaven and change their fate in the future.

Besides, Five Elements Dao Sect’s foundation was deeper than Greenwood Sect’s. They might have some holy medicine that could cleanse poisons stored away.

Elder Lian nodded and called over a few disciples to carry the two men up to Pill Peak to heal their injuries.

Only then did Elder Luo finally remember to call the disciple who had reported to him earlier and ask some questions: “Did either of them leave any message?”

The disciple said: “Elder Luo, the more heavily injured senior brother had already lost consciousness by the time he arrived. He was carried to Greenwood Sect on the other senior brother’s back. And that senior brother only had time to report his name before he fainted.”

“Did he say which master from Five Elements Dao Sect he is a disciple of?”

The disciple’s emotions suddenly surged, and he nodded hard: “He did, he did. That senior brother said he is Fang Cheng Lang, the first disciple under Master Qing Yan.”

It was precisely because the disciple had learned of Fang Cheng Lang’s identity that he had rushed to beg Elder Luo for help so impatiently.

“What? You did not hear wrong? He is Master Qing Yan’s disciple?”

Shock flashed across both Elder Luo’s and Elder Lian’s faces.

“I did not hear wrong. I was not the only one who heard it. The other senior brothers also heard it.”

Elder Luo’s gaze toward Elder Lian was suddenly full of hope and pleading: “Elder Lian, you must do everything you can to save them.”

“I will.”

Five Elements Dao Sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world. First, it had a long inheritance and many talented people. Second, it had Master Qing Yan, the man publicly acknowledged as the number one person in the cultivation world, sitting in charge.

Eighty years ago, Five Elements Dao Sect had faced the greatest crisis it had seen in a thousand years. With only an early Divine Transformation Stage cultivation level, Master Qing Yan fought three Divine Transformation cultivators at once. He killed one and seriously wounded two, becoming famous in a single battle. Since then, no one dared to challenge him.

On top of that, Master Qing Yan was known as a cultivation fanatic who cared for nothing else and was very unfeeling.

If his disciple died in Greenwood Sect, then even if Greenwood Sect was completely blameless, Master Qing Yan would very likely vent his anger on Greenwood Sect.

Neither Elder Luo nor Elder Lian wanted their sect to suffer a disaster for no reason.

Earlier, their plan had been to try their best to save Fang Cheng Lang and Cui Jue. Now, they were going to rack their brains and spare no effort.

After they reached an agreement, Elder Luo personally went to report the matter to the Sect Master. Elder Lian returned straight to Pill Peak and got busy treating the injuries and detoxifying the poison.

…

By the time Wang Qian heard the news, several days had already passed.

The ones who told him were none other than Guo Ming En and Tian Han.

“Master Qing Yan’s disciples again! Do the people of Five Elements Dao Sect have nothing better to do? The Cultivation World Grand Tournament is right around the corner. Instead of staying in their sect and going into seclusion to cultivate, they are running around all over the place. What are they doing?”

Wang Qian was both angry and anxious.

The matter with Yu Zhao had not been resolved yet, and two more people from Five Elements Dao Sect had shown up. What did they take Greenwood Sect for, a place they could come and go as they pleased?

“Junior Brother Wang Qian, don’t be anxious yet. I actually think this is our chance.” Guo Ming En tried to calm him down.

“A chance? What do you mean?”

“Our grudge with Yu Zhao does not stop us from forming a good relationship with people from Five Elements Dao Sect, especially disciples of Master Qing Yan. As long as we can get closer to them, do we still need to be afraid that Yu Zhao will come looking for trouble with us?”

Wang Qian’s brows eased, and he let out a sigh of relief.

That was right. This person was Master Qing Yan’s first disciple and also Yu Zhao’s first senior brother. If he spoke up, then no matter how angry Yu Zhao was, she would not be able to do anything to Wang Qian. She might even have to politely shake his hand and make peace.

As long as he could win Fang Cheng Lang over, Yu Zhao would no longer be a threat to him.

The corners of Wang Qian’s lips slowly curled up as he gave Guo Ming En an appreciative look.

“Senior Brother Guo truly has great talent. This junior brother has learned a lot.”

“I would not dare, I would not dare.” In front of Wang Qian, Guo Ming En did not dare to get carried away. “Senior Brother Tian and I have ordinary backgrounds. For this plan to work without fail, Junior Brother Wang Qian will still need to come forward personally.”

Wang Qian nodded proudly.

With his status and background, as long as he made an effort to befriend someone, no one would be able to refuse.
