Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 179 - The Old Sect Master

Chapter 179: Chapter 179 The Old Sect Master

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Could it be that something happened to Xu Yining?

“What happened to her?” Jiang Fan asked.

Li Qingfeng looked regretful and sighed, “Xu Yining bid farewell to me yesterday and went out to travel.”

Travel?

...

Alone?

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but worry.

She was not very strong, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. How dangerous it must be for her to be out there alone?

“Is Peak Master Li at ease with this?” Jiang Fan asked in surprise.

Logically, Li Qingfeng couldn’t have agreed.

Whether Xu Yining could come back alive was hard to say.

Li Qingfeng looked at Jiang Fan with a hint of reproach, “Since returning from the Holy Hall, she hasn’t touched a drop of water for several days.”

“If I didn’t let her go, she would have trapped herself.”

Jiang Fan was shocked.

That day, Xu Yining watched as Xu Youran and Chen Silin who followed Jiang Fan, one caught up to him, and the other surpassed him.

All her former pride was shattered.

She was always strong-willed and suffered a heavy blow.

Her spirit fell into despair.

Leaving the Green Cloud Sect, traveling outside, maybe it could help her let go.

Li Qingfeng looked at Jiang Fan with a touch of inquiry, “Jiang Fan, can’t you accept her again?”

“Who hasn’t made mistakes?”

After all, Xu Yining was his disciple.

He couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

He still wanted to find a good place for his disciple.

Jiang Fan clasped his hands and said,

“Peak Master Li, you misunderstand.”

“I never blamed her. I agreed to end the engagement back then.”

“It is she who is obsessed and cannot let go.”

“As for accepting her or not, I think marriage should be based on mutual feelings.”

“If there is no fate with her, what good is forcing it?”

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng sighed.

Knowing Xu Yining’s current predicament, he couldn’t blame Jiang Fan.

He nodded lightly and said, “Alright then, the matters of you young ones, resolve them yourselves.”

“However, if one day you encounter her and she is in trouble.”

“Please, for the sake of her being my disciple, help her.”

Jiang Fan nodded and agreed.

Even if not for Li Qingfeng.

For the sake of Xu Youran and Xu Zhengyan, he would also help Xu Yining.

The premise being, she needed help.

Sect Master Peak.

A tightly guarded side hall.

Liu Wuchen was carefully supporting an old man with a bloodless face.

His eye sockets were deeply sunken and dark, his breath irregular and chaotic.

He looked somewhat weak.

But Liu Wuchen was extremely respectful.

Because he was the Supreme Elder of Sect Master Peak.

Also the previous Sect Master.

With his strong support, Liu Wuchen finally succeeded in ascending to the position of Sect Master.

“Divine Doctor Shangguan, how is my master?”

Liu Wuchen worriedly asked Shangguan Sheng who was beside him.

Just now, the Supreme Elder had come out of seclusion extremely weak, barely holding on.

He urgently called for Shangguan Sheng and quickly summoned Liu Qingxian back.

To prepare for any eventuality.

Shangguan Sheng nodded slightly, “The old Sect Master is temporarily fine.”

“However, his long-standing injuries are still there. Unless completely eradicated, they will eventually take his life.”

It turned out that back before he had abdicated, he had a great battle with the previous Sect Master of the Giant Sect.

He was accidentally injured in the dark, his heart and lungs severely damaged, and he still hadn’t recovered.

Liu Wuchen bowed and said, “Divine Doctor Shangguan, please heal my master, I will be greatly thankful.”

Shangguan Sheng helplessly said, “My master, the Undying Doctor, had treated the old Sect Master back then.”

“He was at a loss, what can I do?”

“This injury can only be stabilized.”

Liu Wuchen sighed heavily in his heart.

Why had the Great Elder repeatedly challenged his authority over the years?

The significant reason was that the old Sect Master’s health was often poor and unpredictable.

Otherwise, if the old Sect Master had remained in his prime, would the Great Elder dare to act so presumptuously?

At this moment, the old Sect Master, Zhuang Yuanyin, spoke hoarsely, “Do not make things difficult for Divine Doctor Shangguan.”

“I have limited time left; it’s useless to force it.”

“This time, I forced myself out of seclusion just to use my remaining strength to protect the Green Cloud Sect for the last stretch.”

The news of the Beast Tide had stirred up all the Supreme Elders.

Some returned, and some came out of seclusion.

Liu Wuchen and Liu Qingxian remained silent, their hearts filled with sorrow.

Zhuang Yuanyin’s words showed that his time was indeed running out.

“But the Beast Tide is ahead and my body is still weak.”

“Divine Doctor Shangguan, is there any prescription that can stimulate my potential and temporarily restore me to my peak?”

Zhuang Yuanyin’s eyes were filled with hope.

In his current state, he could not help Sect Master Peak much, let alone protect the Green Cloud Sect.

If he could return to his peak, he would still have some use.

Shangguan Sheng stroked his beard and pondered, looking troubled, “There is indeed such a prescription, but the medicine that boosts potential must be extremely aggressive and harmful.”

“Afterward, the old Sect Master’s body might decay faster.”

“This is not the best strategy!”

“It doesn’t matter!” Zhuang Yuanyin didn’t mind at all.

Though his voice was weak, his will was strong and firm!

“If my body is already failing, I would rather die in battle!”

Shangguan Sheng couldn’t help but be moved.

Without another word, he wrote a prescription and handed it to Zhuang Yuanyin.

Zhuang Yuanyin took it, and it was full of extremely rare treasures.

Liu Wuchen leaned in to look and frowned deeply, “These, I might barely gather one set from the Nine-Sect.”

“But this Beast Whip from the Demon Emperor’s lineage… I’m afraid it’s impossible to find.”

“Divine Doctor Shangguan, can this be replaced with other medicinal ingredients?”

The currently known Demon Emperor’s lineage was the initiator of this Beast Tide.

Kill his offspring to seize the Beast Whip?

Who could do that?

Shangguan Sheng shook his head, “This is the most important main ingredient; it cannot be replaced.”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

This prescription was like an impossible dream, unattainable.

Zhuang Yuanyin banged his leg in guilt and sighed to the sky,

“It’s all my fault for being too pedantic back then, letting that insidious guy from the Giant Sect take advantage.”

“It’s one thing if I suffer, but I also implicated Sect Master Peak and the entire Green Cloud Sect.”

Seeing him so remorseful, Shangguan Sheng also sighed softly.

Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn’t help but smile, “Old Sect Master, why worry about the future generations?”

“Your sect has such an outstanding disciple, in ten years’ time, Sect Master Peak will surely soar high, prominent over all.”

He thought of Jiang Fan.

Such a stunning medical prodigy, once he grew up, would surely become a figure who could shake the entire Nine-Sect with his mere presence.

Just like the Undying Doctor once did.

With him at Sect Master Peak, who among the other eight peaks would dare to compete?

Zhuang Yuanyin looked at Liu Wuchen in surprise.

As if to ask, do we have such an impressive disciple?

Shangguan Sheng’s standards were very high, and he rarely praised anyone easily.

Liu Qingxian had performed quite well, right?

She had recently beaten Nangong Xiaoyun.

But when Shangguan Sheng saw her earlier, he just gave a lukewarm “not bad” compliment.

The disciple he spoke of as “outstanding” belonged to Sect Master Peak?

If there was such a disciple, why hadn’t Liu Wuchen mentioned it?

Liu Wuchen looked confused and said, “Divine Doctor Shangguan, are you mistaken?”
