Persecuted

It goes without saying that this woman must be Liu Chun's sister, who has disappeared without a trace.

It's just unclear what's wrong with her current state.

Liu Chun placed the hot water on the open ground nearby, and before Lin Xiao and the other could ask, he spoke to them with a sorrowful expression:

"This is my poor sister. She... was originally an outer disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect, and later advanced to the inner sect, but unexpectedly suffered persecution from an elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect, her Spirit Root was destroyed, and she lost all her cultivation..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu looked at the woman on the bed with great surprise.

Especially Jiang Youfu.

He turned his head and glanced at Liu Chun in surprise.

But he also knew that Liu Chun would never joke about his own sister with them like that, so Jiang Youfu felt that his understanding had been refreshed once again.

The sect's elders actually persecuted their own sect's disciples!

He couldn't understand why anyone would persecute disciples of their own sect, and how they were being persecuted? Didn't anyone in the sect know?

Elder Liu had been searching for his sister for so long, but hadn't found out a single thing. Although Elder Liu didn't have the same connections as Elder Zhang, could a sect as large as the Heavenly Profound Sect really be unaware that a disciple had gone missing? And even her own brother's efforts to find out had yielded no results...?

Jiang Youfu was deeply shocked and bewildered.

In contrast, Lin Xiao remained relatively calm.

Without Liu Chun needing to explain further, Lin Xiao could easily imagine how his sister was suffering terribly under the persecution of the elders in the Heavenly Profound Sect, crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

As Liu Chun spoke, he turned around and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs from his Storage Bag, putting them into the hot water in the large bucket in order.

The elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect who persecuted Liu Chun's sister was just a minor elder in one of the peaks, not the Grand Elder who was in charge of the entire Heavenly Profound Sect.

However, he was a member of the clan of a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Because of this relationship, this junior elder persecuted many lower-ranking disciples within the sect, but many dared not speak out against it.

If Elder Zhang hadn't been so loyal this time, even though he was just a junior Elder Zhang, he was related to another senior elder and had a strong backing, so he wasn't afraid of that junior elder.

After Elder Zhang investigated the matter, he reported it directly to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Profound Sect. He even collected numerous pieces of evidence of Liu Chun's past crimes beforehand and revealed them one by one to the higher-ups. Otherwise, Liu Chun's sister probably wouldn't have been able to be brought out smoothly.

At most, they would be allowed to die within the Heavenly Profound Sect, and then treated as a disciple who died accidentally during a training expedition.

As for the junior elder, he will probably be dealt with quietly. Out of respect for the senior elder, he will probably be imprisoned for several decades before being released.

However, Elder Zhang prevented this from happening.

Instead, he argued his case based on reason. In addition, he had a wide network of connections and popularity among the lower levels. The matter had become quite a big deal, and it was unrealistic to try to keep quiet. This allowed Elder Zhang to bring Liu Chun's sister out.

As for the junior elder who persecuted the lower-ranking disciples, he was also sent directly to the Law Enforcement Hall by the enraged sect leader, who was to punish him according to his crimes. The Law Enforcement Hall and forbade any favoritism.

In this way, the matter was finally settled within the Heavenly Profound Sect, silencing the disciples' gossip.

But Elder Zhang didn't tell Liu Chun much about all of this.

When they met today, Elder Zhang simply explained what had happened, told him that the criminal had been executed, and then quickly told him to take his sister back to recuperate.

When Elder Zhang rescued Liu Chun's sister, he discovered that she was already suicidal and in very poor condition.

Upon seeing his younger sister, who had entered the Heavenly Profound Sect on her own and ended up in such a state, Liu Chun didn't have time to ask too many questions. He quickly thanked her and took her back to the inn.

After checking on my sister's physical condition, I found that she was severely depleted and was practically an empty shell.

He originally wanted to use his Spiritual Power to heal his sister, but he found that his Spiritual Power was rejected after entering her body, and her body was already broken and there was no good place inside.

His meridians were completely severed, and his Dantian was like a sieve.

So he took out the Origin-Nurturing Pill refined by Sun Yigao, only to find that although his sister seemed to be in a deep sleep and had not woken up, she also seemed unwilling to accept any information from the outside world, and her mouth was tightly closed, and he could not pry it open no matter what he did.

Liu Chun didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting her.

Since internal administration didn't work, he hurriedly went out and bought a lot of medicinal herbs, intending to give her a medicinal bath.

He didn't know much about medicinal baths, so he specifically asked a spiritual healer for treatment.

After examining the man, the healer shook his head and told him to prepare for his death, saying that the man didn't have much time left to live.

However, the spirit doctor had no choice but to prescribe a medicinal bath for Liu Chun, who was holding the weapon talisman pen tightly in his hand, ready to be used.

Right now, Liu Chun is working on this medicinal bath recipe, which is better than nothing.

Liu Chun's younger sister is named Liu Qin.

The talisman on Liu Qin's head was used by Liu Chun to stabilize her current condition and prevent her health from deteriorating further.

Seeing that Liu Chun had prepared the medicinal bath for his sister, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu both withdrew to the outer room. Lin Xiao even took the initiative to set up an isolation barrier.

After Liu Chun finished helping his sister, he also left.

This medicinal bath requires soaking for half an hour.

Seeing him come out, Lin Xiao asked:

Is your sister's condition stable?

Liu Chun sat down on the other chair, looking rather tired, and shook his head, saying:

"I managed to stabilize the situation temporarily with the talisman, but this isn't a long-term solution. The medicinal bath prescription was only given after the healer concluded there was no cure, so it's unlikely to be very effective. Sigh..."

As he spoke, perhaps because of his inner turmoil, he recounted his sister's physical condition in detail with a bitter smile.

He felt terrible and deeply regretful at that moment.

He regretted not immediately putting all his efforts into searching for his sister after he realized she had been missing for some time, and instead believed that the wolves in the Wu Household Wu Household slowly wearing him down.

That's why my sister suffered for so long.

Seeing Liu Chun's deeply regretful expression, Lin Xiao opened his mouth, but didn't say anything to comfort him.

At this point, in this situation, any words of comfort would be futile.

Moreover, out of politeness, Liu Chun would probably have to force himself to reply even though he wasn't really comforted.

So Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then said to Liu Chun:

"If you don't have any other plans right now, why don't I go and ask the Yuan Household tomorrow if they have any solutions? If not, we can return to the sect immediately and discuss and research together; we'll surely find a way."
