"Elder, please help us."

At that moment, urgent cries suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, followed by two flustered figures rushing in, one of them carrying a person covered in blood on their back.

"What's going on? Is there no respect for rules? How dare someone barge in here, even to my place, without even knocking on the door?"

Elder Fengshen instantly became furious, everyone in the Tianyi Sect knew his rules. It was unprecedented for someone to intrude on his territory without permission, not even disciples below, let alone elders from the Elder's Court.

Furthermore, just moments ago, he was boasting about his abilities. Now someone dared to disrespect him. Where could he possibly hide his face in the future?

Plop!

The two individuals ignored Elder Fengshen's anger and knelt down with a plop, carefully laying the injured person down from their back.

"Elder Feng, we are willing to accept any punishment. Please, Elder Feng, save Sister Feiyue!"

The female disciple wiped away a bead of sweat and pleaded urgently.

"Feiyue?"

Long Wuxian's expression changed abruptly as he stepped forward and saw the girl lying on the ground. Though her face was covered in blood, he could still recognize her as Feiyue at a glance.

The other two, whose cultivation matched Feiyue's, were both late-stage Immortal Emperors.

At this moment, Feiyue was barely hanging onto life, her breath weak, and her injuries severe.

"Feiyue is gravely injured, and the only one in the entire sect who can save her is Elder Feng!"

The other person spoke, and from their nervous appearance, it was evident that the three of them were close friends.

"Let me have a look."

Long Wuxian bent down, seized Feiyue's wrist, and let his soul power penetrate her body, observing her condition through her various spiritual veins.

Upon realizing the extent of Feiyue's injuries, Long Wuxian's face darkened instantly, followed by an outburst of anger.

"Who dares to be so audacious?"

Long Wuxian looked at the two female disciples, the spiritual pressure of a Sage Emperor instantly leaving them breathless.

Elder Fengshen also approached and stooped to examine Feiyue's injuries.

"The spiritual veins are severed, with multiple fractures all over her body. The methods used were extremely brutal."

Elder Fengshen frowned, such injuries would even leave him helpless.

"Tell me, who did this?"

Long Wuxian inquired again. The day before, when Elder Fengshen took him to the Qi Palace, Feiyue had mentioned her intention to go to the Sacred Demon Mountain for training the next day. Remembering their closeness, Long Wuxian and Hanyu had warned her to be cautious of Bei Luoyu seeking retaliation.

Yet now, after just a day of training, Feiyue had ended up in such a state. It was clear that someone was deliberately seeking revenge.

"It was Xiu Er and his group."

The person replied.

"They? Tell me the identities of everyone involved."

Long Wuxian's gaze turned even colder as he pressed for more information. Whoever was behind this, no matter how many people were involved, Long Wuxian would make sure they paid a hefty price.

"I am Yu Na, and she is Feng Er. We live in the same courtyard as Sister Feiyue. Though she recently joined the Inner Sect, she is kind-hearted, and as such, we have a good relationship. Yesterday, when we went to the Sacred Demon Mountain for training, Xiu Er and his men surrounded us. However, they only targeted Sister Feiyue and did not harm us. Xiu Er said that anyone close to Long Wuxian would be his target for death."

Yu Na cried as she spoke.

"Xiu Er demanded that Feiyue sever her spiritual veins. When Feiyue refused and fought back, she was besieged by his men, led by Feng Zhenyu, the second strongest in the Inner Court, ranking in the top five. As a peak-level Immortal Emperor, how could Feiyue possibly compete? It was Feng Zhenyu himself who not only crippled Feiyue's limbs but also severed her spiritual veins mercilessly. Feiyue's injuries are so severe this time that within the entire Qi Palace, only Elder Feng can provide medical treatment. We rushed back from the Sacred Demon Mountain to seek help from Elder Feng."

Feng Er added, her face flushed with anger when describing Xiu Er's treatment of Feiyue. Watching a friend being hurt while feeling powerless was a sense of helplessness she couldn't bear.

Long Wuxian nodded silently, acknowledging the loyalty of Feiyue's two friends. While he regretted not being able to help Feiyue in time, he understood that their intervention at the time would have been futile. If they had resisted alongside Feiyue at the Sacred Demon Mountain, it wouldn't have been just Feiyue, but all of them who might have met a tragic fate.

With such grave injuries, had they not hurriedly brought Feiyue out of the Sacred Demon Mountain, the outcome would have likely been devoured by the Illusionary Spirit Beasts.

"Oh, Wuxian, this girl's injuries are severe. I can help her restore her severed limbs, but the severed spiritual veins... I'm afraid even I am powerless. Let me administer some healing elixirs to stabilize her condition first."

Elder Fengshen could only suggest this course of action. He knew that Feiyue was Long Wuxian's friend, and her current state was largely due to him.

Therefore, Elder Fengshen would spare no effort in treating Feiyue.

"No need, that may not be the solution. Here..."

As Long Wuxian spoke, he bit his finger, feeding his blood into Feiyue's mouth.

With the spiritual veins severed, even with a divine doctor present, turning back the clock might be impossible. However, if the severed spiritual veins were to be recreated... that was a different matter.

Fortunately, Feiyue's spiritual roots remained intact, unharmed down to her core.

But even with intact spiritual roots, severed spiritual veins were akin to being crippled.

Nevertheless, Long Wuxian had a solution, although it might come at the cost of his own lifespan. Yet, Feiyue was his friend, even akin to a benefactor. If he were to give up now, certain individuals... hmm, they would only grow bolder in the future!

Watching Feiyue's life force rapidly strengthen, Elder Fengshen's eyes widened once more.

"What... what method did you use?"

Elder Fengshen was deeply shocked. Long Wuxian had been astounding him more and more, to the point where he was becoming somewhat numb to it all.

Regrettably, Long Wuxian could only mitigate the severity of the spiritual vein damage but could not guarantee their full recovery.

Alas... if he were at the Saint Emperor level, perhaps he might have been able?

Several minutes later, Feiyue's condition stabilized. Although she remained unconscious, her life was now out of danger. Even her shattered bones could quickly heal with time. Yet, the shattered spiritual veins were a headache-inducing problem.

However, Long Wuxian's immediate concern was not about helping Feiyue recover but ensuring that those who had harmed her paid the appropriate price.

"Elder Feng, please take care of her."

Standing up slowly, Long Wuxian emanated a rage that surged from within him.

Then, he gazed towards the direction of the Inner Sect, asking coldly, "Has the Sacred Demon Mountain training come to an end?"

"The training only lasted a day and has already concluded. Xiu Er and his group should have returned to the Inner Sect by now."

Feng Er replied.

"Excellent. Yunxiang, accompany me to the Inner Sect."

Long Wuxian's tone was remarkably calm, yet beneath that calmness simmered an intense rage. At that moment, he was a dormant volcano, on the verge of erupting and engulfing the entire Inner Sect in flames.

"Wait! The Inner Sect is not the Outer Sect; it's filled with internal conflicts. Many Inner Sect disciples have pledged allegiance to Feng Zhenyu!"

"Yes, their influence is significant. That shameless Feng Zhenyu has over four hundred female disciples as concubines. He is renowned as a scum within the Inner Sect."

The two women knew what Long Wuxian intended to do and tried to dissuade him. Even though it was their first encounter with Long Wuxian, they had heard enough about him to understand that he was a fearless individual who should not be underestimated.

Despite the trap laid out before him, Long Wuxian was determined to seek justice for Feiyue. He refused to abandon her due to the injuries caused by his associations, vowing to avenge her.

He couldn't tolerate those around him being harmed because of him. Whoever harmed them would have to pay the price. Right now, he needed to identify the culprits.

As they watched Long Wuxian depart rapidly, Yu Na and Feng Er's faces displayed a mix of shock and anticipation. They knew that what transpired today was of great significance!

"Elder Feng, why didn't you stop him?"

Feng Er questioned Elder Feng.

"Youngsters, can you stop him from doing what he wants to do? I certainly can't!"

Elder Feng shook his head. Though it had been a short time since he had come into contact with Long Wuxian, he had gained some insight into Long Wuxian's character.

From the moment Long Wuxian had entered the Tianyi Sect, his actions were always in defense of others. Moreover, he had willingly given up precious treasures for his pet cat.
