Chapter 1753 One Assistance
Sect Master Ye then turned to Ye Chuhan and decisively said, "Chuhan, you take a few elders and assist Elder Ye and Vice Sect Master Jin in escorting Sect Master Mingchuan back to Wanchuan Sect. Make sure they are safe along the way. Please also return with Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan to take care of them."
Ye Chuhan immediately agreed.
Although Leng Xi and the other two women wanted to stay, they knew that Ming Chuan needed them by his side most at this moment, and that their presence would be of limited use, so they nodded in agreement.
Sect Leader Ye then looked at Su Hao and Luo Yang with a complicated expression.
These two core disciples of the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect were now distraught, their eyes filled with pain, confusion, and a lingering sense of responsibility.
"You two..." Sect Master Ye pondered, "After this great upheaval, with Su Hongzhen falling into demonic possession and perishing, the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect has suffered a severe blow and is now burdened with the infamy of wreaking havoc on the Spirit Realm. What are your plans?"
Su Hao and Luo Yang exchanged a glance, both seeing the same resolute determination in each other's eyes.
Su Hao stepped forward and bowed deeply to Sect Leader Ye and everyone present. His voice was hoarse but firm: "Qingcheng Yufa Sect... is now defunct in name only. Sect Leader... Su Hongzhen's sins are undeniable. As disciples of the sect, we are also responsible for failing to notice and dissuade him in time. Now, we dare not ask for your forgiveness, but only hope to do our best to make amends."
Luo Yang gritted his teeth and said, "We are willing to stay here and help guard the Demon Abyss, and cleanse the sect of its remaining forbidden items and sources of evil poison! Until... until the Spirit Realm is at peace, or until we are exhausted and die!"
Their choice surprised many, but also evoked a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and reflection).
This willingness to take responsibility and disregard personal safety has at least not disgraced them as core disciples of a major sect.
Sect Leader Ye nodded slightly: "In that case, you two will stay here for the time being to assist with the deployment and cleanup. But you must remember that your identities are sensitive and your actions will be subject to supervision. Specific details will be decided after discussions with the other sects."
"Yes!"
Su Hao and Luo Yang nodded emphatically; this was the best possible outcome.
With everything arranged, Ye Chuhan and several Qingfeng Yumen elders escorted Ye Yan, Jin Man, and Leng Xi, who was with Ming Chuan, as they quickly took to the air, passed through the barrier, and sped towards the Wan Chuan Sect.
Sect Leader Ye remained where he was, reinforcing the seal while waiting for experts from sects such as Zixiao Jingyuan and Butian Shengjiao to arrive later, so they could discuss the aftermath.
……
Wanchuan Sect, the quiet room behind the suspended hall.
Mingchuan was placed on a warm jade couch, his body enveloped in layers of healing and spirit-gathering array light.
Ye Yan stayed by his side at all times, using his superb medical skills and profound spiritual power to guide and treat him.
Jinman was in charge of coordinating the sect's resources, continuously sending over various precious pills and spiritual materials.
Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan took turns staying by the bedside, using their gentle spiritual power to soothe Mingchuan's meridians and softly calling his name, hoping he would wake up soon.
The entire Wanchuan Sect was shrouded in a depressing and worried atmosphere.
The news of the sect leader's serious injury and coma could not be completely kept secret, causing great anxiety among the disciples, who found it difficult to concentrate on their cultivation.
Ah Xiong and Ji Zhou were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but Jin Man strictly ordered them to guard the sect and not leave without permission.
Time slowly passed in anxious waiting.
A day later, Mingchuan's breathing finally stabilized and was no longer so weak, but there was still no sign of him waking up.
After diagnosing him, Ye Yan said in a deep voice, "The physical injuries have been initially stabilized, but the lingering effects of the soul shock, demonic energy, and spatial backlash are still entangled. He needs to slowly awaken and heal on his own. External forces can only play a limited role."
These words weighed heavily on everyone's minds.
The most dangerous injuries in spiritual practice are those that damage one's fundamental nature and spirit.
Just as everyone was frowning in worry, a report came from outside the quiet room.
Sect Master Ye of Qingfeng Yumen, Sect Master Lin of Zixiao Jingyuan, Sect Master Mu of Butian Shengjiao, and Sect Master Chu of Xuantianmen have arrived together at the palace.
Jin Man glanced at the unconscious Ming Chuan, the exhausted Ye Yan, and the three women, took a deep breath, and tidied her appearance:
"Elder Ye, Xiao Xi, you two continue to look after Ming Chuan here. I'm going to the front hall to receive the sect leaders and discuss the aftermath of the Demon Abyss."
Ye Yan nodded, and Leng Xi said softly, "Thank you for your help, Sister Jin Man."
Jinman arrived at the front hall, where the four sect leaders were already waiting, all with solemn expressions.
They had learned the details of the battle in the Black Wind Mountains from Sect Master Ye, and were deeply moved by Ming Chuan's bravery and spirit of sacrifice. They also gained a clearer understanding of the cunning and threat posed by the Demon Abyss Core.
"Jinman, how is Mingchuan's injury?" Sect Master Ye asked anxiously first.
Jinman briefly explained the situation, and everyone sighed upon hearing it.
Sect Master Ye sighed, "Alas... Mingchuan, this child, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the Spirit Realm, how can we be stingy? My Qingfeng Yu Sect has a treasured Nine-Aperture Rejuvenating Grass in its treasury, which has miraculous effects on repairing damage to the soul. I will have someone fetch it immediately."
Sect Master Lin immediately followed up, saying, "Indeed, we admire what our young friend Mingchuan has done! Although our Zixiao Pure Courtyard is not known for its elixirs, we have a spring called Cleansing Spirit Spring, whose water contains pure and purifying power, which is helpful in dispelling demonic energy and soothing the meridians. We can bring fresh spring water every day for Sect Master Mingchuan to use both externally and internally."
Sect Master Mu also said, "Our Heaven-Mending Holy Sect is willing to provide three Jade Marrow Heart-Concentrating Pills. These pills are a secret of our sect and have a significant effect on stabilizing the heart meridian and concentrating scattered spiritual power."
"And my sect too!" Sect Master Chu followed closely behind. "Enough with the pleasantries! Whatever medicinal herbs, spirit stones, or manpower you need, Xuantian Sect will provide full support! We also have several elders in our sect who are skilled in treating internal injuries; we can invite them for consultations at any time!"
Moved by the sincere assistance from the four sect leaders, Jin Man stood up and bowed deeply to them: "On behalf of Ming Chuan and the entire Wan Chuan Sect, I thank you all for your kindness! Ming Chuan is currently unconscious, and his subsequent treatment will certainly require your help."
Sect Master Ye waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for further formalities, and his expression turned serious: "Mingchuan's injuries are certainly important, but the matter of the Demon Abyss is equally urgent. The evil core has been injured and is lying dormant, so it will not remain quiet for long. Moreover, the evil poison that Su Hongzhen previously spread is still causing trouble in many places in the Spirit Realm, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Sect Master Lin nodded in agreement: "That's right. The most urgent tasks are: first, to stabilize the Demon Abyss Seal in the Black Wind Mountains and prevent the evil core from retaliating; second, to concentrate our efforts to eliminate evil poisons in various places and appease the damaged sects and people; and third, to properly handle the problems left over from the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect. Its sect's books, resources, and especially those forbidden items must be strictly examined, sealed, or destroyed."
Sect Master Mu added, "As for Su Hao and Luo Yang, although they have expressed their willingness to atone for their crimes, their identities are sensitive and they need to be properly supervised and arranged. We must make use of their strengths to make up for their mistakes, and we must also prevent them from causing any further trouble."
Sect Master Chu stroked his chin: "The territory and remaining forces of the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect are also a problem. We can't just leave it unattended forever, or let other villains take the opportunity to seize it..."
Seeing that the people in front of him each had their own thoughts, Sect Leader Ye suddenly had an idea.
"Why don't we wait until Mingchuan wakes up before discussing anything else? He was, after all, a core elder in the Qingcheng Yufa Sect as Cang Zi'ang, and even Jin Man was a core elder there before."
"They are more familiar with the situation of Qingcheng Yufa Sect, so it would be most appropriate to deal with this matter after Mingchuan wakes up."
