Chu Xinghe Running Amok?

News of the Zhou Medical Hall naturally reached the higher-ups of the Vast Heaven Sect.

At this moment, Sect Gu Mingchao, Deputy Sect Master Yan Shoujing, and the heads of various palaces were sitting in the Haotian Palace discussing this matter.

"A tiny Zhou Medical Hall thinks it can make our Vast Heaven Sect back down? They're simply courting death." Gu Mingchao said with a look of disdain.

This time, the Grand Elder smiled wryly after hearing this, saying, "Sect Master, you are unaware of this. If it were just the Zhou Medical Hall, it would be impossible for them to dare to fight against the Vast Heaven Sect. The Zhou Medical Hall has countless forces supporting it, and that is their greatest source of confidence."

Hearing the elder's words, Yan Shoujing nodded secretly in agreement.

What is Zhou Medical Hall? Let alone Vast Heaven Sect, any one of the Ten Great Sects could easily crush Zhou Medical Hall to death.

However, that was only the surface of the Zhou Medical Hall.

In recent years, Zhou Medical Hall has captured a huge market share by selling low-grade pills. It can be said that Zhou Medical Hall has no rivals in the low-end pill market.

However, this is all due to the intervention of various forces. Zhou Medical Hall is only the Zhou Medical Hall on the surface. In fact, countless forces are operating behind it. As far as Yan Shoujing knows, not only major sects, but even the Demonic Sect has a certain share in the Zhou Medical Hall.

This is also the main reason why Zhou Medical Hall is so arrogant.

If we're talking about high-end elixirs, the Vast Heaven Sect is indeed unbeatable.

However, low-end pills are different. Zhou Medical Hall has a lot of refining slag. With so much refining slag, Zhou Medical Hall can produce a large number of low-end pills every day.

Even in the production of low-end pills, the Vast Heaven Sect is no match.

Therefore, if this arena were to actually open, the opponent would not be the Zhou Medical Hall alone, but rather the Zhou Medical Hall comprised of countless intricate and complex forces.

Even though the Medicine King Palace has an abundance of low-end pills, the Grand Medicine King Palace is not entirely certain whether they can achieve a 100% victory if the fighting continues like this.

"You all know Xinghe. He will never back down easily now, especially since this involves the sect's reputation. Xinghe will never let the sect lose face!"

Although Gu Mingchao didn't understand alchemy, Gu Mingchao understood Xinghe. This child had risked his life for the sect; how could he possibly accept something that would bring shame upon the sect?

"That's right! This matter concerns the reputation of my Vast Heaven Sect. Even if Xinghe is willing, I will not agree!" Yan Shoujing was the first to jump out and object.

Just kidding... If we were to go to war with the Zhou Medical Hall, it would be like the Vast Heaven Sect fighting against countless forces all by itself. Even if the Vast Heaven Sect were to win in the end, it would be a Pyrrhic victory after suffering heavy losses.

This is a tremendous opportunity to weaken the Vast Heaven Sect, how could Yan Shoujing possibly let it pass!

According to Yan Shoujing, it would be best if, in the end, all the forces fought the Vast Heaven Sect and suffered heavy casualties.

The Grand Elder shook his head and smiled wryly, "What the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master said is correct, but as the Lord of the Spirit Crane Palace, I know the Medicine King Palace best."

"With the current strength of the Spirit Crane Palace, suppressing Zhou Medical Hall in the short term is still possible. Even if we suffer losses in manpower and resources, it is not something that Vast Heaven Sect cannot bear. But if we really push Zhou Medical Hall to the brink, once various forces intervene, the outcome will be unpredictable."

No sooner had the First Elder finished speaking Elder He stood up, "If you can't win at alchemy, leave it to me. My Thunder Palace can wipe out the Zhou Medical Hall overnight."

"Sect Master, I think it's best if our Azure Wood Palace takes the lead this time. Last time, Thunder Palace dragged its feet on the White Crane Sect. If we leave it to the Azure Wood Palace, we can wipe out the Zhou Medical Hall by midnight at the latest." Elder Yu said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Old Yu, you're getting old, you should rest more. Let Everlasting Spring Palace handle it. We don't even need to lift a finger; just poisoning will wipe out the Zhou Medical Hall."

A group of elders chimed in, each offering their support for Yan Shoujing's real-name registration system!

Let's fight! Let's fight!

But the Grand Elder waved his hand to quell everyone's discussion and said, "Everyone, things haven't come to that point yet. Even if the Zhou Medical Hall has so many forces behind it, it's absolutely impossible for them to fight us head-on. This matter started with the Wan Lineage. In fact, the Zhou Medical Hall just wanted to test the attitude of our Vast Heaven Sect."

"Based on my prediction, in the next few days, the Zhou Medical Hall will choose to back down and cease hostilities, thus sending a message to the world that the Zhou Medical Hall dares not be an enemy of the Vast Heaven Sect."

After the Grand Elder said this, the room fell silent. In fact, all the elders knew very well that what the Grand Elder said was correct.

What's wrong? Has the Zhou Medical Hall gone mad? Even if they have countless powerful backers, do they really dare to fight the Vast Heaven Sect to the death?

Even if the Zhou Medical Hall has gone mad, the forces behind them are surely tired of living, aren't they?

Why are the swords of the Vast Heaven Sect not sharp anymore? Or is it that the Vast Heaven Sect is now afraid to kill people?

So, just as the Grand Elder said, as long as Vast Heaven Sect does nothing, Zhou Medical Hall will naturally come to their door and say that it was all because of their own shortcomings and ignorance. They will definitely not touch Wan Lineage Medical Hall Zhou Medical Hall the future, and they will keep to themselves and Vast Heaven Sect. They thank Vast Heaven Sect for their magnanimity.

This is basically a mutually acceptable and most satisfactory outcome. The Grand Elder has been handling sect affairs for so many years, can't he see through the Zhou Medical Hall's little tricks?

As for Xinghe, the Wan Lineage was saved, and the Zhou Medical Hall will come to apologize later. They also helped their junior sister, so the sect didn't lose face. What could Xinghe possibly have to complain about?

The elders all nodded in agreement, indicating that the First Elder was absolutely right.

Even Gu Mingchao nodded in agreement, saying that they should do as the Grand Elder suggested, but of course, they should remember to make things clear to Xinghe so that the child wouldn't be wronged.

Yan Shoujing was utterly helpless. How could the Grand Elder have squandered such a perfect opportunity to weaken the sect? But there was nothing wrong with the Grand Elder's plan. Would it be too outrageous for him to object now?

Just as everyone agreed with the Grand Elder's plan, a spirit bird flew into the Haotian Palace from outside the door.

The spirit bird eventually came into Gu Mingchao's hands. Gu Mingchao opened the spirit bird in front of everyone, but after just one glance, Gu Mingchao's eyes turned red!

Gu Mingchao immediately showed the information on the spirit bird to everyone present, and upon seeing it, the scene almost exploded.

"Has the Zhou Medical Hall gone mad? Saying Xinghe is acting recklessly? Are they tired of living?" Elder He rolled up his sleeves and jumped up.

Just Elder He said, the information on this spirit bird came from the Zhou Medical Hall.

It must be said that Zhou Medical Hall is truly thoughtful; fearing that the Vast Heaven Sect might not understand their meaning, they specially sent a spirit bird to explain.

The message from the spirit bird was simple: Zhou Medical Hall had absolutely no intention of opposing Vast Heaven Sect in this conflict, and that everything stemmed from a misunderstanding. Zhou Medical Hall was willing to apologize and offer a million spirit stones. At the same time, Zhou Medical Hall guaranteed not to interfere with the Wan Lineage again. Zhou Medical Hall would also announce to the public that it was Zhou Medical Hall that was in the wrong and that Vast Heaven Sect had shown great magnanimity.

From now on, the Zhou Medical Hall will absolutely not dare to provoke the Vast Heaven Sect.

Everything was perfect until the Zhou Medical Hall said something really wrong at the end.

Because at the end of the message from the spirit bird, Zhou Medical Hall stated that this minor conflict was entirely due to Chu Xinghe's personal misbehavior, not the actions of the Vast Heaven Sect, and that it was all a misunderstanding.

If it weren't for the last sentence about Chu Xinghe's personal misconduct, the Zhou Medical Hall plan would be exactly the same as the one proposed by the Grand Elder, and the Vast Heaven Sect would definitely have accepted it.

But the problem is, is Xinghe acting recklessly?

Are you guys at the Zhou Medical Hall tired of living?

Look at Elder He, if he hadn't been held down by the First Elder, he probably would have already gone to the Thunder Palace to call for reinforcements.

Xinghe is acting recklessly? You're courting Dao of Dying, do you even realize that?

Trying to make Xinghe take the blame? Your Zhou Medical Hall doesn't even deserve it!

The Grand Elder's face immediately darkened. The Zhou Medical Hall's approach was actually not wrong.

Often, the conflict between two factions is resolved perfectly by having a disciple step in and take the blame.

After all, they are disciples of a sect. Sometimes, they suffer a little grievance for the sake of the sect, and they ask, "What's wrong with that?"

The problem is, this is Chu Xinghe!

You're saying this misunderstanding was caused by our Xinghe's reckless behavior?

That's absolutely impossible!

The First Elder was the first to jump out. "Sect Master, the Zhou Medical Hall is courting death! Let's leave this matter to Xinghe. Xinghe never speaks without reason; his statement about opposing the Zhou Medical Hall must have a backup plan!"

"The Grand Elder is right, let's continue to Watch Quietly as Things Change!"

"Excellent... excellent indeed! Even if Xinghe really loses, does my Vast Heaven Sect care about such a small loss?"

"I Yu Yuyu, support Xinghe!"

Gu Mingchao nodded solemnly in agreement.

You little Zhou Medical Hall, are you tired of living? Saying Xinghe is acting recklessly? You're all just waiting to die!

Yan Shoujing looked on blankly as the elders slammed their fists on the table, declaring that the Zhou Medical Hall was courting Dao of Dying.

If Yan Shoujing had seen the message on the spirit bird from the Zhou Medical Hall, he would probably have agreed immediately.

After all, all they said was that Chu Xinghe had acted recklessly, and it wouldn't cost them anything. The sect would receive a million spirit stones plus various apologies from the Zhou Medical Hall. It seemed like a huge win.

However, Yan Shoujing never expected that, for the sake of Xinghe's reputation, even the Grand Elder, who advocated a peaceful resolution, slammed his fist on the table and declared that he would fight to the death.

At this moment, Yan Shoujing realized that Chu Xinghe's status in the Vast Heaven Sect had probably reached a level that even he could not comprehend.

The meeting ended amidst a chorus of curses. Gu Mingchao personally ordered that everything concerning Zhou Medical Hall be handed over to Xinghe. Xinghe's orders were to be followed by his subordinates. With Xinghe's steady approach, taking over Zhou Medical Hall would be a piece of cake.

Even if we were to lose in the realm of elixirs, wouldn't crushing the Zhou Medical Hall be a piece of cake?

At the Zhou Medical Hall, Zhou Fengshan was drinking tea with the elders of the Zhou Lineage. Zhou Fengshan had not expected that the Vast Heaven Sect would get involved in the annexation of the Wan Lineage.

However, even though the Wan Lineage was quite good, the Zhou Medical Hall had to back down when faced with the behemoth that was Vast Heaven Sect.

Although Zhou Fengshan was unwilling, he felt that sending him to the Vast Heaven Sect was the most perfect solution.

A million spirit stones is nothing to the Zhou Medical Hall, and as for an apology, that's even less of a concern.

However, Zhou Fengshan was still somewhat upset because of what Chu Xinghe had done, which is why he added the phrase "Chu Xinghe acted recklessly," which was Zhou Fengshan's last act of defiance.

Soon, a spirit bird flew in from afar and landed in Zhou Fengshan's hand.

Zhou Fengshan smiled, because he knew that the information about the spirit bird was likely blank, and this blank indicated the attitude of the Vast Heaven Sect, signifying acceptance.

Zhou Fengshan slowly opened the spirit bird, but the moment it opened, Zhou Fengshan was dumbfounded.

"War!"
