In a dark cave, a figure slowly lay on the ground, his body covered in lush green herbs, and the smell of boiling herbs wafted out. At this moment, the figure frowned slightly and struggled to get up.
The people who were boiling the medicine were overjoyed to see this and exclaimed, "Brother! You're awake!"
Li Changfeng rubbed his head. "Where is this place?"
Big Stooge said cautiously, "This is a relatively secluded cave. It's very safe; no one will know about it. Don't worry!"
"That's good! Did you save me?"
"Yes! Luckily, we all listened to Detective Peng and followed the river to find you!"
"I see! Then we must thank Detective Peng properly!"
Just then, Detective Peng, who had just returned from hunting a deer, was overjoyed to see that Li Changfeng had woken up. "Hahaha! Brother Li! No need for thanks, I haven't even repaid you for saving my life back then!"
"Big brother! You've been asleep for three days and three nights and haven't woken up yet! We were almost scared to death!"
"Yes, Brother Li! Fortunately, you have profound Inner Force and a powerful medicinal force that sustained your life; otherwise, you would be nothing but a corpse!"
Li Changfeng thought to himself, "Luckily, I took a life-saving pill when I fought that man in blood, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable..."
Li Changfeng suddenly felt a wave of soreness all over his body. Even taking a deep breath made his internal organs feel like they were being torn apart. He quickly circulated his Inner Force to try and relieve his injuries.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he circulated his Inner Force, he felt pain all over his body and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His internal energy was blocked by the twisted meridians, and he could not circulate his internal energy to heal his injuries at all!
Upon seeing this, Detective Peng was immediately alarmed. "Brother Li! Your injuries are extremely serious. Even your meridians are twisted. Rushing to circulate your energy now will only worsen your condition. Do not try to heal yourself any further!"
Big Stooge brought over a bowl of medicine and said solemnly, "Yes! Brother! Detective Peng is right. Come on, drink this medicine quickly, it will be good for your injuries!"
Li Changfeng frowned as he looked at the bowl of dark green medicine. "Is this medicine really effective?"
"Who says it didn't work! I've been feeding you this medicine these past few days, otherwise you wouldn't have woken up so quickly, brother!"
"Alright! I'll reluctantly drink it then!"
Without saying a word, Li Changfeng gulped it down. It was sticky and had a pungent, fishy smell. It was so bitter that his tongue went numb, and he almost vomited it out.
Right after drinking it, I felt a warm current flowing through my body. Although it wasn't as powerful as a life-saving pill, it slowly healed my injuries. It was indeed effective!
"This medicine really works! But it tastes awful..."
"Oh, brother! Bitter medicine is good for the body! As long as it's good for the injury, that's all that matters. This herb was taught to us by an old pharmacist, and it's very effective in treating internal injuries!"
Seven days later.
Li Changfeng was seen meditating inside the cave, slowly circulating his internal Inner Force, step by step using his true qi to unblock his twisted meridians.
"Puff"!
Li Changfeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. All the twisted meridians in his body had been cleared, and the injuries on his body had also healed considerably.
Li Changfeng then breathed a sigh of relief, "My injuries are almost completely healed. I'll rest for a few days and then make further plans!"
"Brother Li! It seems your injuries have almost healed. What are your plans for the future?"
"I have a favor to ask of you! I've written a letter for you; could you please deliver it to the Shaolin Temple? I'll go to the capital alone!"
"You're still going to the capital?! No, it's too dangerous! Brother Li! You should come with me to Shaolin Temple; it'll be safer that way!"
"Don't worry, I have a plan. This matter is very serious. I must go to the capital first. You must personally deliver this letter to the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, understand?"
Detective Peng Li Changfeng a deep look and said helplessly, "Alright! Since you've made up your mind, let's set off now!"
"Alright! You can go now!"
Three days later.
Li Changfeng had fully recovered from his injuries and his strength had reached its peak. He sneered, "Demon God Sect! Now watch how I take my revenge on you..."
At this moment, a group of people in blood-stained clothes were searching aimlessly in the Greenhill Mountain. One of them said impatiently, "So many days have passed. If the person were still here, they would have been found long ago. Why do we need to search like this every day?"
Upon hearing this, the other man in blood-stained clothes was immediately startled and quickly covered the mouth of the first man in blood-stained clothes. "Are you crazy! How dare you say such things here? If the adults hear this, our lives will be in danger!"
The man in blood-stained clothes looked terrified upon hearing this, then looked gratefully at the other man who had covered his mouth, saying, "Thank you! Thank you! I misspoke!"
"Alright! Remember to watch your mouth from now on!"
"Call out"!
Suddenly, a figure appeared directly in front of the two of them. The two were startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and quickly used their palms to strike the figure.
The figure ignored them, unleashing a powerful and domineering Vajra Power that allowed them to strike his chest with their palms.
Clang! Clang!
Two metallic clanging sounds rang out. The two men in blood-red clothes felt as if they had struck an extremely hard steel plate with their palms, which carried a strong recoil force. They felt their palms go numb and were knocked back two or three steps. They immediately realized that they had met their match and hurriedly tried to shout for help.
Just as they were about to shout, two fierce and domineering palm prints struck directly at their crowns, moving with incredible speed and unstoppable power!
Before they could even shout, two palm prints appeared directly on the tops of their heads, slamming down on them amidst their terrified expressions!
"Click!" "Click!"
Two sounds of skulls shattering rang out. The two men's heads exploded like watermelons from a single blow, splattering thick, white and red blood everywhere. One drop even landed directly on the figure, which he deflected with his own internal energy—a truly domineering move!
The figure sneered, "Demon God Sect! This is only the beginning..."
The figure was none other than Li Changfeng, who had recovered from his injuries. At this moment, he pushed open a deep pit with one palm, stripped the clothes off the two men, pushed the two corpses into it, covered them with soil, changed them into their blood-red clothes, and even disguised himself as one of them, changing his aura to be the same as that of the man in blood-red clothes.
Li Changfeng, now fully disguised, sneered, "That way, it's flawless..."
Li Changfeng then headed towards the imperial city. Along the way, he encountered a man in blood-red clothes who, without warning, had his skull shattered by a single palm strike, leaving him unaware of how he died. He then buried the man alive to prevent him from finding him so quickly.
Li Changfeng charged forward, cutting down seven or eight blood-clad men, breaking through their defenses, and advancing unimpeded towards the imperial city...
Two hours later.
The leader of the blood-clad men, his face contorted with rage, stared at the headless corpses on the ground and roared, "Carefree Young Master!!! I will tear you to pieces!!"
