"My senior brother is still in their hands. If I can't get to the Tenth Universe, what will happen to him...?"
A hint of panic flashed across Xie Feng's face. He quickly forced himself to calm down, because only by staying calm could he think things through!
"I think that person might know you can't go to the Tenth Universe, so capturing Senior Brother was just a way to lure you here!" Little Nine tilted her head and pondered.
"What do you mean?" Little Sword asked.
"I suspect that person's real purpose isn't to send you to save your senior brother right now, but to lure you here so you'll eventually end up in the Tenth Universe! It's very likely... there's an even bigger conspiracy waiting for you! They can't touch you outside the Tenth Universe Tenth Universe; only inside can they act with impunity!"
A gleam of wisdom shone in Little Nine's golden pupils.
Xie Feng remained silent.
Little Sword exclaimed, "Tsk, having nine brains really makes a difference!"
suddenly!
It emitted a faint sword-like cry!
" Ah Dong! Adong's here!"
Little Sword's voice suddenly became sycophantic.
"What, Ah Dong?" Little Nine asked.
"Ahem, it's... it's my heart's sword~" Little Sword suddenly spun around awkwardly twice.
Little Nine's nine little mouths twitched in unison.
It was speechless!
As they were speaking, a figure in black robes suddenly flashed past.
Little Nine immediately exclaimed, "Look, a beautiful girl!"
Xiao Sword Dao, "Eighteen eyes are really sharp..."
A moment later...
The woman in black retreated little by little, staring intently at Xie Feng for two seconds, as if trying to recall something, "It's you!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. He had seen this woman before; she was the one who had caused the mad bull to fall from the Jade Pivot Sect.
The woman in black asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Feng said, "Uh, just wandering around..."
The woman in black noticed his pale face and, out of kindness, asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
"Hey beautiful, where's Ah Dong?"
Not wanting to be left out, Little Sword jumped in front of the woman, his voice as obsequious as could be.
The woman in black twitched her lips, realizing that the Ah Dong Little Sword mentioned was her Approaching Winter Sword.
"It's injured and repairing itself, so it doesn't really want to come out."
"Holy crap, how did you get hurt?"
"I was too impulsive, and I dragged it down with me."
"Beautiful lady, can Ah Dong say something to me?"
"This..."
The woman in black rubbed her forehead, somewhat speechless.
At this moment, Approaching Winter Sword spoke up, "Are you sick? Stop bothering my master!"
Little Sword exclaimed, "Look, Ah Dong even cares if I'm sick! It's so heartwarming!"
Xie Feng: "..."
woman. "..."
Little Nine slammed into Little Sword, sending him flying, and said with exasperation, "You've gone way too far with your licking!!"
The woman in black said, "This place is extremely dangerous. Even if you're just wandering around aimlessly, you shouldn't come here!"
Xie Feng said, "Miss, you've come too?"
The woman in black said, "My cultivation has been unable to break through for a long time, and I'm feeling restless, so I came here hoping the Gate of the Vast Expanse would give me some stimulation."
Xie Feng asked, "Have you broken through?"
The woman in black. "No."
Xie Feng: "..."
The woman in black said, "You shouldn't have come to such a dangerous place, especially now that you're seriously injured. Go back!"
Thank you for your concern, but I cannot return...
thump!
Xie Feng's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
Little Sword said, " Old Xie lost too much blood and fainted!"
Little Nine said, "We must take him back to the Jade Pivot Sect immediately!"
"I've been to the Jade Pivot Sect, let me go."
As the woman in black spoke, she scooped up Xie Feng and, just like she had carried an ox before, hoisted him onto her shoulder with one hand and sped away.
The remaining sword and beast were stunned.
Little Nine stammered, "What a... what a fierce woman..."
When they returned to the Jade Pivot Sect, it was still dark, and the sect was completely silent. Their arrival did not alert anyone.
The clan leader's residence.
Xie Feng lay on the bed, surrounded by a group of "people".
"He's still bleeding, what are we going to do?" Little Nine was so frightened when it saw Xie Feng's bloodied and almost broken body that it covered its nine little heads with its tail.
"Coward, what's there to be afraid of? Old Xie even had his body explode back then, this little injury is nothing to him!" Little Sword said, looking like he had seen it all.
"Where are the physicians? Does the Jade Pivot Sect have any physicians?"
Little Nine wanted to rush out the door.
It was still a cub and couldn't bear to see such bloodshed.
The woman in black waved her hand, stopping it. "Don't rush, I am the healer!"
As she spoke, she took out a medicine box from her spatial ring, inside which were some silver needles, pills, and medical books scattered about.
The woman in black circled Xie Feng halfway around and commanded, "You two, turn him over! Remember to be careful, his internal organs are shattered, he's like a broken porcelain doll!"
Little Sword and Little Nine carefully helped Xie Feng turn over.
The woman in black, after examining him closely, said confidently, "The main reason he fainted was excessive blood loss, which caused his Qi and Blood to become disordered. The treatment is very simple; just acupuncture on the Du meridian and Jing-Well points will suffice."
Little Nine asked, "What is the Governing Vessel or something?"
The woman in black took out ten tiny silver needles and inserted them into the tips of Xie Feng's ten fingers, saying, "These are the Jing-Well acupoints."
"The Governing Vessel runs along the back of the body, passing through twenty-eight acupoints, which is why I asked you to turn him over."
As she spoke, the woman in black took out a silver needle that was a foot long and stabbed it swiftly and accurately into Xie Feng's back.
Little Sword asked, "Should we tie it up along with the clothes?"
The woman in black said, "Taking off clothes is indecent! Besides, I... I'm still a young woman!"
Little Sword: "..."
Little Nine glared at it. "A miracle doctor has her methods, you have to believe her!"
Little Sword muttered, "Damn, who said she's a miracle doctor? I think it's a bit far-fetched..."
After inserting the first hairpin, seeing that Xie Feng didn't react, she confidently inserted the second and third hairpins.
After that, she held the silver needles and gestured around Xie Feng's lower back, but couldn't bring herself to do it, and her lips twitched slightly.
Little Sword asked, "What's wrong? Stab me!"
The woman in black rubbed her chin with her fingers, looking troubled. "Ugh, I don't think these acupoints are elegant. Never mind, I won't do it!"
As she spoke, she only inserted silver needles into the head, arms, and back, which she considered "more aesthetically pleasing."
"Sister! You're saving someone! Don't be so hasty!"
Little Sword was stunned.
It secretly vowed that if Xie Feng died at the hands of this unreliable quack doctor, it would fight her to the death.
After the acupuncture, Xie Feng's bleeding stopped, but his physical condition remained worrying.
The woman in black blinked and muttered to herself, "What should I do next? Damn it! How could I forget at such a crucial moment? What did that medical book say again? It seems self-study has its limitations..."
Little Sword was in despair. "What a quack! He's so unreliable..."
Little Nine said, "I admit, she's definitely not a miracle doctor."
"Looks like we only have one last resort!"
The woman in black clapped her hands together, made up her mind, and took something out of the medicine box.
