"Pfft!" Zhuge Feng spat out a mouthful of blood in the air. He looked like a rock that had crashed into an ancient tree.
"Bang!" The ancient tree that could reach the heavens trembled.
Zhuge Feng was bounced off the ancient tree and fell to the ground again, motionless.
"Mountain Chieftain!" Everyone was shocked.
Just now when the man in gray appeared and struck out with his palm, Liu Yunxin struck out with her palm. It was like a flash of lightning.
By the time they reacted, Zhuge Feng was already lying motionless on the ground.
They rushed to Zhuge Feng's side.
Murong Chun and Xia Liyan lowered their heads to look at Zhuge Feng's injuries. The other four elders stared at Liu Yunxin and the round-faced middle-aged man. Their faces were full of lumps and bumps, and their eyes were shining brightly.
Liu Yunxin approached them slowly. The four elders were tense, ready to attack her at any time.
Liu Yunxin was wearing a white veil, only revealing a pair of bright eyes and a forehead as white as jade. She walked around Zhuge Feng lightly and shook her head.
The round-faced middle-aged man's cold gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Zhuge Feng.
He snorted, "Patrol, let's go."
"Yes, Altar Master!" Liu Yunxin answered respectfully.
The two of them took another look at Zhuge Feng before levitating up the towering ancient tree. They stepped on the treetops and drifted away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Mountain Master!" They looked at Zhuge Feng.
Zhuge Feng was unconscious. His face was as white as paper, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
They knew something was wrong.
Murong Chun quickly took out two medicine bottles from his pocket, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into Zhuge Feng's mouth. He covered Zhuge Feng's mouth to prevent him from spitting it out and patted his back. His forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat and he was terrified.
The hill chieftain knew the secrets of Crouching Bull Mountain. If he died just like that, what would happen to the next hill chieftain? The Mountain Chieftain's secret heart technique would be lost!
"Hurry up and go back!" Murong Chun said.
When the six of them brought Zhuge Feng to his bedroom, he was still unconscious.
Xia Liyan felt his pulse and frowned in silence.
Everyone wanted to help Zhuge Feng recuperate, but Zhuge Feng's injuries were too severe. His internal organs were all shattered, and he did not dare to use his inner energy at all.
Their faces were gloomy, and they remained silent. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Never would they have thought that the hill master would be assassinated this time, to the point where he was on the brink of death. This was also the most crucial moment for Crouching Bull Mountain.
"The Adversity Surpassing Pill from last time has been used up!" Xia Liyan sighed and turned to look at the five of them.
Murong Chun and the other four shook their heads.
"Where's the Young Master?" Murong Chun quickly said, "We have to find him now!"
"Yes, find the Young Master!" Everyone hurriedly said.
Seeing that Zhuge Feng was about to die, they could do nothing but find the Young Master as soon as possible to prepare for his funeral.
Originally, he had two Adversity Surpassing Pills that could save his life, but he had used up all of them last time. The Adversity Surpassing Pill was not something that first-rate sects like them could have. Only the High Duke's Public House and the four major sects had it.
The Adversity Surpassing Pill he had used last time had cost him a huge price, but now he couldn't get it back.
Moreover, the Mountain Chieftain would be dead by the time he made a round trip to the Tempest Monastery!
"I'll go!" Xia Liyan said.
He arrived at Chu Li's courtyard like a gust of wind. Qiao San was cultivating in the courtyard. When he saw Chu Li, he quickly bowed to greet him.
"Where's your Young Master? Ask him to come here immediately!" Xia Liyan said in a low voice.
Qiao San saw his expression and quickly said, "Elder Xia, the Young Master is really not here."
"When will he be back? Don't tell me he won't be back!" Xia Liyan said.
Qiao San softly said, "Elder Xia, what happened?"
"This is a matter of life and death. If he doesn't show up, the position of Mountain Chieftain will never be his!" Xia Liyan said, "Think of a way to get him back immediately, the sooner the better. If we're late, we won't have a chance anymore!"
"Elder Xia, what happened?" Qiao San hesitated.
Xia Liyan frowned and stared at him. "The Mountain Chieftain is heavily injured, I'm afraid it's not good …"
Qiao San's expression changed.
His eyes flickered and his expression changed again and again. Suddenly, he unsheathed his sword and stabbed it into his chest.
Xia Liyan looked at him in shock.
Qiao San slowly sat on the ground. Blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth. "The Young Master said that I've been with him for a long time. If anything happens to me, he will know. I'm not sure if the Young Master is trying to fool me …"
Xia Liyan sighed as he watched more and more blood flow. "Do you need some medicine?"
Qiao San shook his head and laid on the ground. His breathing was getting weaker.
A long howl was heard. It came from afar but when it stopped, it was right in front of him. Chu Li's white robe fluttered as he arrived.
He looked at Qiao San who was on the ground and took out a bottle of pills. He poured one out and stuffed it into Qiao San's mouth. His palm turned into a shadow and hit Qiao San's body. Then, he pulled out his sword. Not a single drop of blood came out.
Qiao San's face was pale and his lips were purple but he smiled. "Young Master, you didn't lie to me."
Chu Li said, "You're lucky that I wasn't too far away … What happened, Elder Xia?"
Xia Liyan said, "The Mountain Chieftain is heavily injured. Young Master, please come with me!"
"Is he going to die?" Chu Li frowned.
Xia Liyan sighed and shook his head. "Hopefully, the Mountain Chieftain is blessed and will be able to survive this!"
Chu Li looked at his expression and knew that Zhuge Feng would not be able to survive this.
"Let's go and see what he has to say," Chu Li said lazily and glanced at Qiao San. "Rest well and don't kill yourself."
"Yes, Young Master." Qiao San smiled.
Chu Li followed Xia Liyan to Zhuge Feng's bedroom and saw that Murong Chun and the others were all there. He nodded and looked at Zhuge Feng.
"Young Master …" Murong Chun sighed. "I'm afraid the Mountain Chieftain is not going to make it."
Chu Li touched Zhuge Feng's wrist and frowned. "He won't die."
He took out a jade bottle and poured out a pill. There was only one pill in the bottle and he stuffed it into Zhuge Feng's mouth.
Murong Chun was shocked. "The Adversity Surpassing Pill?"
Chu Li turned and looked at him. "You really know your stuff."
"Young Master, how did you get the Adversity Surpassing Pill?" Murong Chun was shocked.
Chu Li said, "You don't need to know how I got it. With this, he won't die and he won't have to make any funeral arrangements. I'm leaving now!"
He turned and left after he finished speaking.
"Young Master …" Murong Chun quickly said, "Aren't you going to stay by the Mountain Chieftain's side?"
"If he opens his eyes and sees me, he will definitely be furious!" He said as he walked out of the bedroom.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
With the Adversity Surpassing Pill, the Mountain Chieftain would not die. They were really thankful.
"The Young Master still cares about the Mountain Chieftain. The Heavens really help the Crouching Bull Mountain!" Murong Chun sighed.
Everyone nodded.
They looked at each other with lingering fear.
Murong Chun said, "When the Mountain Chieftain wakes up this time, he must choose a good successor. If not, if something like this happens again …"
He shook his head as he said this. Everyone agreed.
If it was not for the Mountain Chieftain's luck, he would have died. The secret technique passed down from generation to generation would be lost. The Mountain Chieftain's sin was too great. They were all guilty too. They had let down the ancestors of the Crouching Bull Mountain!
