"What are you doing?!"
The Grand Elder didn't understand why Wu Tian was doing this. He thought Wu Tian was going to harm Chen Shanfeng further, so he questioned him.
Wu Tian still didn't reply. Quietly, spiritual energy was already transmitted into Chen Shanfeng's body through the air.
Chen Shanfeng suddenly coughed violently. His life force, which seemed to have been extinguished, actually recovered once more.
Although still very weak, there was at least some hope of survival.
"This..." The Grand Elder was completely confused by the situation.
He stared blankly at Wu Tian and said, "Did you do this? What exactly do you mean?"
Wu Tian said calmly, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill someone? Even if I did, it was just to scare you."
"Now that I've protected his heart meridians, he won't die right now."
"However, he is still too severely injured, so he probably won't be able to get out of bed for three years. You'll have to take care of him then."
When the Four Elders heard this, their hearts were once again filled with burning rage.
Didn't Wu Tian's words mean that Chen Shanfeng would be a cripple for three years?
What was the difference between that and killing Chen Shanfeng during that period?
Then, Wu Tian looked at Chen Shanfeng on the ground and said coldly, "Hey, are you convinced now?"
"If you're convinced, release the person quickly. If you're not convinced, you can stand up and continue playing with me, and I'll make you convinced."
Chen Shanfeng's consciousness was a bit hazy, but he kept saying, "Release the person... release the person..."
The Grand Elder found it difficult to accept this. He spread his hands and said in a low voice, "Sect Leader, we cannot release the person!"
"We've been planning this for so long, and we're only one step away from success."
"If we let the person go back, there might not be such an opportunity again!"
However, after suffering such a heavy blow, Chen Shanfeng's mind seemed to have also suffered a great trauma.
He acted as if he was foolish, continuously saying, "Release the person... release the person... release the person!"
"This!" Seeing that Chen Shanfeng had become like this, the Grand Elder understood that he couldn't rely on Chen Shanfeng today.
And with their strength, it was impossible to stop Wu Tian.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only grit his teeth and shout, "Release the person!"
What else could the other elders do about this?
Helplessly, they could only walk into the sect.
A moment later, Chen Qinglian's father, Chen Hehai, was brought out.
"Dad!" Seeing Chen Hehai, Chen Qinglian became extremely excited.
She quickly ran over and hugged Chen Hehai tightly.
"Daughter?" Chen Hehai hadn't quite reacted to this.
He asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did they let me go?"
"Daughter, you didn't give them the ring, did you?"
Chen Qinglian shook her head and said, "How could that be? I would never give them the ring. It was Wu Tian who saved us."
"Wu Tian?" Chen Hehai was even more confused.
When he saw the situation in the square, and the appearance of the Grand Elder, he was immediately shocked.
Such a scene was too impactful.
What had happened during the time he was captured?
As he was filled with confusion, Wu Tian walked over with a smile and said, "Uncle, it seems you're alright, aren't you?"
Chen Hehai reacted and said to Wu Tian, "You are Wu Tian?"
"I didn't expect you to be so young! Thank you for everything you've done for us. We really owe you this time!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just what I should do. Don't take it to heart."
Then, Wu Tian looked at the Grand Elder and continued, "I say, can we go down the mountain now?"
How dare the Four Elders say anything more? Even if they wanted to stop Wu Tian, they would need the ability to do so!
They all remained silent, not even daring to look at Wu Tian directly, clearly tacitly agreeing to Wu Tian's words.
Seeing this, Wu Tian didn't say anything more to them and directly led Chen Hehai and Chen Qinglian down the mountain.
After returning home, Mother Chen was naturally moved to tears upon seeing them return safely.
After settling down, Chen Qinglian introduced Wu Tian to Chen Hehai and explained the entire situation.
After listening to Chen Qinglian's account, Chen Jianghe was greatly shocked.
He looked at Wu Tian with admiration and said, "Wu Tian, you truly live up to the saying 'a hero emerges from youth'!"
"I never expected you to be so skilled in medicine and also possess such martial prowess."
"To achieve this at your age is truly incredible."
"Thank you so much for today's events. If it weren't for you, our Medical Faction might have been ruined by my hands!"
Wu Tian smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle is too kind. As I said, it's nothing. It's just what I should do."
"The Sword Faction's actions go against heaven's will. By doing this, I am acting on behalf of heaven."
Hearing this, Chen Hehai sighed.
He couldn't help but lament, "I never imagined that the Sword Faction's ambition would have expanded to this extent."
"Originally, they only provoked us from time to time, but now it has escalated to coercion."
"If the Ancestor knew about this, he would definitely not let them off easily."
Wu Tian said, "Human desires are inherently insatiable. When the Qinglian Sect was divided into two factions for self-governance, such a situation was bound to happen."
"In my opinion, it would be better to simply integrate the Qinglian Sect together."
"This way, the Qinglian Sect would be a true whole, wouldn't it?"
Chen Hehai was stunned, then looked at Wu Tian with a somewhat strange expression and said, "By your words, are you implying..."
Wu Tian nodded, "Uncle is a smart person and should understand my meaning."
"Now that Chen Shanfeng is severely injured, it will take at least three years for the Sword Faction to show any signs of recovery."
"And if we take advantage of this time for the Medical Faction to develop vigorously and recruit experts to strengthen our martial power, then it won't be long before the Sword Faction is naturally suppressed."
"At that time, Uncle, under the title of Sect Master, can integrate all sect affairs and implement relevant systems. Unifying the Qinglian Sect would not be a difficult task. Uncle, do you think I'm right?"
Chen Hehai fell silent. Wu Tian's words had indeed given him a reminder.
Yes, if the Sword Faction dared to do such a thing today, they might dare to do it a second time in the future.
But if the Sword Faction could be integrated on this occasion, wouldn't that be a great thing for the Qinglian Sect?
