"Please, rise!"
Seeing Fairy Miaoyin kneel outright, Nie Yun jumped in alarm and hurried forward to help her up.
"Foolish child, the Blood Fiend Palm has seeped through the acupoints and deep into the blood vessels. As long as the blood has not been completely drained, it cannot be eradicated. I have sought many renowned physicians, even those ranked in the top fifty of the Heavenly Secrets Ranking, but unfortunately... there was no solution!"
Seeing her disciple's actions, the woman in court robes shook her head.
It was not that she did not believe the young man before her. The Blood Fiend Palm was simply too terrifying. She had sought many Medical Masters in hopes of resolving it, but every answer had been the same: certain death! There was no solution!
So many masters had failed to cure it. She did not believe that a wet-behind-the-ears boy at merely the Perfected King Realm could succeed.
"Master..."
Hearing her master say there was no hope, Fairy Miaoyin's eyes reddened.
"It is all right. I have lived enough in this life... The only ones I cannot put down are you and your junior sisters. I know your cultivation is no weaker than mine now, but you are still no match for the Dark Star Sect. Listen to your master. Find somewhere to hide, and wait until you truly possess the strength to avenge me!"
The woman in court robes spoke without sorrow in her tone, yet it sounded like she was arranging her final affairs, heartbreaking to hear.
"Master, come with us. Let your disciple properly honor you..." Fairy Miaoyin sobbed.
"I cannot leave yet. If I do, the Dark Star Sect will soon discover it. Then any so-called hiding will become empty words!" The woman in court robes shook her head.
