Chapter 1000: The Guiyu Clan’s New Family Head Awaits Awakening
Divine beasts obviously don’t need any sword techniques, so this swordsmanship is actually the sword technique used by the owner of the Aolai Divine Beast. It’s just that, at some point, this sword technique was spread in the world and ended up in the hands of Doctor Sun’s ancestors. However, his ancestors were clearly not strong enough to comprehend it, and after generations of refinement and practice, they eventually transformed it into a set of medical skills.Han Yan felt a surge of joy in his heart. Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword is the swordsmanship of the Aolai Divine Beast’s owner. Although such a powerful figure who knows countless ancient techniques certainly knows more than just this sword technique, and this may not be his strongest swordsmanship, for it to catch his eye, it can’t be weak, and it’s definitely superior to the vast majority of sword techniques in the world.
With Han Yan performing the final hand formation, an Illusory Sword Shadow like the Nine Heavens Star Fall accurately pierced Yu Qingwan’s energy sea, yet expertly avoided harming her Life Essence. Ye Lanfeng swiftly performed a hand formation, and suddenly the seal shone brightly.
It was only then that Huayue and others awakened abruptly. They turned their heads and saw the last poisonous black energy converging and entering Zirong’s body, while Yu Qingwan slowly opened her eyes.
By this time, Doctor Sun had already regained some strength. He was the first to react, rushing forward, feeding her several elixirs that had been prepared in advance, and then helped her refine the Dan Power to repair the meridians and energy sea.
After all, her meridians were severed, and her energy sea was shattered. If not treated quickly, even if her life could be saved, it would leave her disabled.
"Qingwan, you’re safe, you’re safe." As soon as Yu Qingwan took the elixirs, Zirong, despite exhaustion, staggered forward, originally intending to embrace her tightly, but upon reaching her, suddenly remembered her condition of being severely injured, hurriedly drew back his hand that was reaching for her shoulder, and merely held her hand tightly with tears in his eyes.
However, unlike the previous worry and anger, this time the tears were of joy.
"Zirong, you’ve worked hard." Happiness also appeared in Yu Qingwan’s eyes, holding Zirong’s hand tightly.
"Young Master Mu, Brother Ye, Doctor Sun, thank you all. If not for your selfless efforts, my daughter might never have woken up," Yu Qingwan quickly turned her head and gratefully said to Han Yan and others. Although filled with weariness, the gratitude in her eyes was so sincere.
Han Yan and others had thought she might be dazed for a while upon waking up, but were surprised that she recovered so quickly.
"Even though I was poisoned, seemingly unconscious, my mind was clear due to the strength within me, so I know what’s been happening outside," Yu Qingwan explained, and added, "It is precisely because of this that the Guiyu Clan underestimated me, spoke without caution before me, which is why I know they are hiding in a place called Soul-breaking Valley."
"Soul-breaking Valley!" Jiang Yuzhe exclaimed.
"You know Soul-breaking Valley?" Han Yan immediately asked, as she had not heard of this place.
"Soul-breaking Valley lies among the imposing mountains between Lin’an County and the Capital. Because the cliffs around the valley are steep, early years saw mountain dwellers fall into the valley while gathering herbs, thus locals named it Soul-breaking Valley.
But the valley doesn’t produce much, any medicinal herbs grown there are of low grade, appealing only to poor mountain folks. Cultivators couldn’t care less about it, so few people know of Soul-breaking Valley.
I happened to learn about the valley during a recent adventure, and knowing its tranquil beauty, thought to explore it, but was stopped shortly after entering, told that the valley had been purchased by a certain high official in the court.
I had little interest, and withdrew immediately upon hearing him, and would have forgotten all about it had Miss Yu not mentioned it," Jiang Yuzhe said.
"Which court official did they mention?" Han Yan asked.
It’s no wonder the Guiyu Clan hid in Anyun Country for so many years without being discovered. It turns out they had a senior court official supporting them, Han Yan was quite surprised.
"I did ask at the time, but they didn’t say. After leaving, I coincidentally met mountain dwellers gathering herbs and casually questioned them, but they knew nothing.
I assumed it was some court official’s chosen place for retirement, wanting no attention. Since I didn’t know of the Guiyu Clan, I didn’t investigate further," Jiang Yuzhe replied.
Han Yan asked no more questions. As far as she knew, many court officials in Anyun Country had estates in scenic places, not only for retirement but as property for descendants, to be kept quiet to avoid trouble.
Therefore, it’s normal for Jiang Yuzhe to withdraw without more thought, and without Yu Qingwan finally waking up, even meeting grandfather back in the Capital might fail to connect the Guiyu Clan with any court official.
"Knowing the location of Soul-breaking Valley is excellent, hurry to rescue Senior Yun or else it will be too late. I overheard the Guiyu Clan say their new Family Head is about to awaken, and once he does, the Guiyu Clan can achieve their former glory, and someday avenge their ancestors blood feud.
Though I don’t know what they mean, it’s conceivable the Family Head must be incredibly powerful, if awakened Senior Yun fears there’ll be no chance of escape," Yu Qingwan struggled to sit up, urgently speaking.
"What!" Han Yan and others were astonished upon hearing.
"Go quickly. Before Senior Yun rescued me, I overheard their discussion saying their Family Head will awaken soon in days," Yu Qingwan urged further.
"Brother Han Yan, notify the Family Head quickly, Uncle Yun remains surrounded because of us, should anything happen, how could we ever face him or the Mu Family," Mu Nan also knew Uncle Yun’s status in the Zong Family, anxiously urging.
The hearts of Han Yan and others sank slightly. The Guiyu Clan had influence across nations, even intervening in royal successions, a testament to their formidable strength. Though they were eventually destroyed by the Holy Court, they were incomparable to ordinary families.
While it’s unclear why the new Family Head of the Guiyu Clan is in deep sleep, or what awakening entails, since the Guiyu Clan dare boast boldly, they must have confidence.
If the new Family Head awakens indeed possessing strength to challenge the Holy Court, none can assert lightly, but Uncle Yun and Mu Sha would likely face dire peril.
