The five men knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Reporting to Commander Bai! We were secretly investigating the evil spies hidden in Shaolin, but we didn't expect their strength to have reached the Grandmaster level. We can only send out a support signal and request your help!"
Commander Bai frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Where is that heretical master? Where did he go?"
The five men slowly said, "He probably thought it was a signal from Master Jue Kong, and since he couldn't kill Master Jue Kong in a short time, he could only flee in panic!"
Commander Bai was slightly surprised upon hearing this. "Jue Kong? Wasn't he dead? How did he suddenly appear here? And was the battle here caused by those two?"
Upon hearing this, the five men solemnly replied, "Commander Bai, you're right! This great battle was caused by them!"
"When Master Jue Kong suddenly appeared, we were also startled when we first met him. We had no idea how he had managed to escape death and survive until now!"
Commander Bai was slightly surprised upon hearing this. "Jue Kong! Although I don't know how you escaped, I am truly astonished that you, First-Rate Peak expert, could fight a Grandmaster to this extent!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior, you flatter me! If it weren't for the signal you gave me, I probably would have fought that grandmaster to the death. Thank you all very much!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Bai waved his hand dismissively. "With your strength, there's no need for you to call me senior. Let's be friends as equals! Just call me Brother Bai or Old Bai. It seems the rankings on the Human Rankings will need to be updated again!"
Li Changfeng suddenly coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His meridians were throbbing with pain, and he couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, Commander Bai quickly walked behind Li Changfeng and slammed his palms down on Li Changfeng's back. A surge of powerful Inner Force poured in, slowly healing Li Changfeng's injuries!
Commander Bai frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Jue Kong! Your injuries are much more serious than I imagined. Did someone shatter all your meridians recently, and then use some heaven-defying technique and powerful Inner Force to forcibly repair them?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded. "Commander Bai! You're right! That's exactly it!"
"Alas! You forced yourself to circulate your qi before your injuries had fully healed, which has ruptured your meridians again and left you with extremely serious Latent Injury. When you advance to the Grandmaster level in the future, these Latent Injury will definitely be your bottleneck!" Commander Bai shook his head and sighed.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "I had no choice but to do it!"
One of the five men stepped forward and whispered an explanation in Commander Bai's ear.
Commander Bai immediately understood the situation and said with admiration, "Jue Kong! I heard that you came alone to this meeting to save your friend. I admire people like you the most, who would go to great lengths for their friends. I've decided to be your friend!"
After speaking, Commander Bai took out a white pill. The pill emitted a faint fragrance, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary product.
Commander Bai then handed it directly to Li Changfeng, saying, "This is the Meridian-Soothing White Deer Pill your meridians. Although it can't cure your Latent Injury, it can at least prevent them from worsening!"
Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon seeing this. "This... this pill is too precious. I cannot accept such a gift without having done any good!"
Commander Bai smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Jue Kong! There's no need for that! I want to be your friend. This is just a small gift for our first meeting. If you don't accept it, it means you look down on me and don't consider me a friend!"
Li Changfeng gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "Since you've put it that way, Brother Bai, it would be too disrespectful of you not to accept it!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng took the pill and swallowed it. He immediately felt a comfortable sensation throughout his meridians, and a warm current flowed through his meridians, stopping his injuries from worsening.
Seeing this Commander Bai laughed loudly, "Excellent! Brother Jue Kong! I'll lend you a hand!"
Commander Bai then slapped Li Changfeng's back with both palms, and streams of true energy slowly flowed into Li Changfeng's body, helping to circulate blood and energy.
A moment later.
Li Changfeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. The injuries to his meridians had been suppressed and he would recover after a period of rest. However, the Latent Injury were still there, and he would probably have to find another way to remove them!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from afar, and a powerful aura slowly spread to Li Changfeng's side. Upon seeing this, the expressions of the people on the field became slightly solemn. This aura was extremely powerful, making them very cautious!
The aura grew stronger and stronger, and it was about to reach them. Seeing this, Commander Bai's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Jue Kong! Remember, you must not use your true energy again. Leave this opponent to me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded, "Brother Bai! I'll cover for you!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky, followed by two others. A black-clad figure was left behind, and the figure said in a deep voice, "You brat! If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break your legs!"
As soon as the figure landed, he started cursing at Li Changfeng and even hit him hard on the head, leaving a pink bump on Li Changfeng's head, which hurt so much that he covered his head.
"Master! What are you doing! I'm still injured!"
"You still know you're wounded? How dare you come out alone to this meeting? You're simply courting death! Come here quickly so your master can take a look at your injuries."
"Oh!"
Li Changfeng snorted and slowly walked over. The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger him and saw that his expression was getting more and more serious. He sighed and said, "There are Latent Injury left in your meridians. Breaking through to the Grandmaster level will become a bottleneck! You were too impulsive!"
After a moment's thought, Commander Bai said, "Hall Master of Subduing Tiger! There is a way to remove Brother Jue Kong's Latent Injury, but it's a bit troublesome!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger quickly said, "What method? Tell me, maybe I can solve it!"
Commander Bai slowly said, "I heard that during the last Southern Emperor's birthday celebration, Medicine God Valley sent the Southern Emperor a Meridian Cleansing Pill, which is specifically for treating Latent Injury to the meridians."
"This pill is extremely precious. It is said that it takes Medicine God Valley ten years to refine just one, so you can imagine how difficult it is!"
"However, the ten-year deadline is still far off! If we want to obtain this elixir, we can only ask the Imperial Court for help, but your relationship with the Imperial Court..."
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger's face darkened. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said, "Fine! For you, kid! I'll risk my reputation. I have some connections with Commander Lu, so I'll see if he can sell me anything!"
Commander Bai smiled slightly upon hearing this, "In that case, I'll take my leave!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, benefactor! May I ask your honorable name?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Bai cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Bai Jianchen, Commander of the Wind and Rain Pavilion!"
