Zhongyuan City.
Inside a newly built palace.
The once-deserted palace now held quite a crowd.
Among them were no few Gold Core True Persons.
Under everyone's gaze.
Ning Daohuan, Sect Master of the Heavenly Gate Sect, was personally nourishing the grievously wounded Lu Yuansheng's body with Law Power.
The Heavenly Gate Sect cultivators watching this scene looked at Lu Yuansheng with eyes full of envy.
This was the master of an entire sect.
He was the greatest pillar that allowed the Heavenly Gate Sect to sweep across several kingdoms.
Though his own condition was still poor, he was willing to expend such effort on Lu Yuansheng. It showed just how much he doted on him.
Even some of the Gold Core True Persons turned green with envy.
Still, no one dared say anything. Everyone knew Lu Yuansheng was the successor personally chosen by the Sect Master. Such treatment could only mean that the Sect Master thoroughly spoiled his disciple.
Soon.
Lu Yuansheng slowly opened his eyes.
He immediately struggled to get down and bowed to Ning Daohuan.
"Thank you for saving me, Sect Master!"
"Enough. You've only just recovered from serious injuries. Don't move about."
Ning Daohuan spoke gently, with concern.
He seemed an entirely different person from when he had fought the Four Sects of the Chen Kingdom.
The surrounding cultivators grew even more envious.
Lu Yuansheng managed a smile, then had no choice but to sit obediently under Ning Daohuan's insistence.
Ning Daohuan nodded slightly at this, then looked around.
His expression immediately turned cold.
"Who went into battle with Yuansheng that day?"
At Ning Daohuan's words, the crowd fell silent.
Before long, a trembling old woman and an extraordinarily ugly, short, thin cultivator stepped out of the crowd.
"Elder Hu... Elder Yin..."
Ning Daohuan's expression darkened slightly.
