As the staff quickly tended to Wang Bingxia's bodyguards, Han Liang and Lü Shuyao, and treated their wounds, the monk asked, "How are the injuries of these two benefactors, Shi Chang?"
"Second Master, this male benefactor is seriously injured. His shoulder has suffered a severe trauma. If he doesn't undergo surgery, his arm will likely be crippled. As for this female benefactor, although she has many wounds, they are mostly superficial and not life-threatening! I've finished bandaging them, and they are out of immediate danger. However, we still need Third Master to examine them thoroughly!"
"Alright, then. This male benefactor is more seriously injured. I'll take him and Bingxia with me first. Chang Suo, you escort this female benefactor behind us. I'll find someone to pick you up when we reach the mountain!"
"Don't worry, Second Master, I will protect her!"
The monk nodded and untied two thick leather belts from his waist. These were training belts made of excellent quality pure cowhide. The monk handed one belt to Wang Bingxia, instructing her to tie it around her waist, and then personally helped the bandaged Han Liang secure his belt.
"Alright, relax, let's go!"
With that, the monk suddenly extended his hands, grabbing Wang Bingxia and Han Liang by their belts. Then, he exerted force with his feet, and both of them felt as if they were in a speeding sports car, instantly lifted off the ground!
Considering their combined weight was nearly 300 catties, the monk, carrying one person in each hand, moved as if walking on flat ground. His body seemed to skim just above the earth. Wang Bingxia, startled, closed her eyes, the wind whistling past her ears.
A dozen seconds later, the monk disappeared from Shi Chang's sight.
By the time Shi Chang arrived at the mountain with Lü Shuyao, half an hour had passed. A female disciple at the mountain personally attended to Lü Shuyao's wounds. Meanwhile, in a room within the Taoist temple, Han Liang was undergoing surgery.
Han Liang was astonished, as he never expected to find such a modern operating room in a secluded mountain Taoist temple. Ling Tian's third master, Gong Heming, clad in a white lab coat, was performing the surgery with the assistance of several disciples. However, unlike traditional Western medicine, which would require general anesthesia for such an operation, Gong Heming did not use any anesthetic. He merely used a few silver needles to numb Han Liang's entire upper body. Despite this, Han Liang remained fully conscious and could even converse with the doctor.
"Doctor, is my arm ruined!"
